Press PRIvILEGEs.-Deadheadi can
sometimes be carried too far. A young
lady in Georgia, while attending fair,
endeavored to raise money for the under
taking by offering to permit male visitors
to kiss her at ten cents a kiss. Every
thing proceeded smoothly until the editor
of daily came in, and he insisted upon
taking kisses free because he was a mem
of the press. They put him out. This
is probably the same man who, when he
was married. wanted the clergyman to
take his wedding fee out in advertising,

By various accounts, we are advised that this agency surpasses any in Arizona for discipline and various branches Of in- dustry, including the bringing of land under cultivation and building cf houses out of material prepared by the Apaches. Agent J. F. Cum, on taking charge last August, found a divided authority over the Indians on the reserve, and at once assumed complete control The Indians had some privileges which be found it better to deny them, and the system of labor and payment therefor needed i'm provement and he improved it. He remov- ed the Indians of the military ground but kept them near by in case of emergency.

 Each of the several bands now have separate villages or clusters of huts, and some pride is being excited as to the neatness maintained by each. He gives them nothing, but requires so much labor for blanket, and specific amount for other articles. The Indians make adobes and build houses blow land and cultivate it under the direction of a head farmer. Early in this month, 100 acres were sown In wheat and barley and some up and growing nicely. He intends to continue breaking land, sowing and planting up to February. The Apaches are careful not to put a foot on growing crops. They have built extensive agency buildings with but the aid of one experienced mason, and are building adobe houses for themselves. Agent Cum has small hand mill with which he grinds some grain, and hopes soon to have one large enough to grind all the corn and wheat needed for all the Indians. Comparatively ineXpen- sive machinery is needed, and the Gila affords ample water power to propel it. We understand Agent Cum is determined to have a model set of self-supporting Apaches, and the moment he discovers his inability-which he does not anticipate to succeed he will resign. Weare very much pleased to hear of his rapid success and determination for continued success, and that the Indians fully recognize the value of his management and their own eY ertions for support.

Governor Stafford returned from trip Oi about one month 10 California, by stage last Sunday. During his absence he saw and conversed with tie wealthiest mining men on the Pacific coast, and he feels quite sanguine that very soon they will be induced to take hold of Arizona mines, and impart new life and prosperity to the Territory-such as we sadly need and have long waited for.

 The Governor succeeded in interesting parties engaged in the manufacture Of beet sugar tD the extent of agreeing to put up d large manufictOry in the Territory, provided the beet grown here contains the necessary Saccharine matter. Of course this can only De known by producing and testing the beetS. The Governor brought WIIh him a lot of seed of the sugar beet, which he desires to distribute to persons who will plant it and send hlm sample of the hects when matured, for testing. \ mill will be erected as soon as the beetS prove to be Of good quality Ter sugar mak- ing, and where the best advantages exist for wood, water and land.

 The GOVeruor is in high spirits over the success of his trip to California;, and we believe it will result in great benefit to the welfare of Arizona.

EDITOR OPELoCsAs COURIER:


At the illegal election held here on the 29th
inst, to elect a Representative to an illegal
and usurping Legislature, casual observer
might have noted the perpetration OF an lnno-
vatiOn tending to the intractiOn OF the election
law with an impudence that was perfectly sub
lime for GOODNESS. 1t is not reasonable to sup
pose that laws are enacted with exceptions
and provisos that i'll effect destroy the 0ri ginal
and Intended utility of the law itself; and if
there is an exception or prOviso to a law, it is
insanity to suppose that the ignorant and I'M
educated negroes would see and appreciate
the consequences of an infractlOn thereof.
Registration laws require that we, in voting,
should prOduce our registration paper or a
certificate of registration, or else we are pro-
hibited from voting. But this regulation was
not strictly carried out at this election. Regis
tration papers were an immaterial consldera-
tion-particularly SO if you intended voting
for John Simms. In this case, all that seemed
necessary was for the voter to state, under
oath, that he had been duly registered and
had voted at previous election. This may
be "a convenient modification of the registra-
tion law, and we would heartily endorse it
could we accept the broad hypothesis that ali
men are honest. Experience has, however,
demonstrated to us that this is not the case,
but that, on the contrary, diphcity reigns
throughout the length aud breadth OF the
land. Therefore we conclude that this pro-
viso is fraud, emanating from corrupt gov
ernment, and calculated to encourage that
most heinous Of all crimes-delibeIate per
jury. While we were standing at the polls.
we saw negroes sworn aud voted whom We are
corfadent have never been registered, and
many who were ineligible as voters, owing to
their minority. No one challenged their votes,
because no decent white man participated in
the election farce, John simms undoubtedly
received a majority of the votes polled here,
and the dirty work of electiOneering for him
was heroically done by his nonpareit support
ers-the. Parish Treasurer, the Clerk Of the
Court, the Mayor of this place and another
digmtary, whose capaeious brain originated
the conception of erecting bridge imposi'
preparations to his individual emolument.


| As deprayed as human nature as, we still
entertain the hope that the day is not far dis
tant when these vile and disgusting abortions
of honest and upright manhood will be hurled
from places of trust and distinction, and, COW
ering in agonizing terror, call upon the noun
tains of their fraud and corruption to fall upon
and hide them from the lowering, blightine
frowns of an indignant and injured people.

Places of amusement have been opened in
New York on Sunday, and have been largely
attended, probably more on account of the
novelty which entertainments on that day furn-
shed than because there is any public demand
for the innovation. The practice has been
attacked by public teachers and ministers. from
widely different standpoints, but there is one
line of argument which should reach all of those
who may be led to attend the theatre on
Sunday. 1t was presented by DR.. Potter, OF
Grace Church, who opposed the opening OF
places of amusement on Sunday as an injustice
to those who are employed in them, aud thus
lose their day OF rest as an injustice to those
whose right Of religious worShipis disturbed
finally, on the general ground that the confusion
of Sunday with the other days Of the week
would tend to destroy its value as a season Of
periodic rest. He said: Leaving out Of
view entirely any special sacred or religion,
conception of the day, it will not be denied
that it is an immense advantage both to body
and mind TO turn them off, sharply and com
| pletely, at stated intervals, from the track o
wonted occupation. But to do this, the occu
patton. the duties, the amusements of Sunda,
should not be those of the week. At the 700
of the Sunday qusstiOn lies the law of periodic
rest. Unless all history and all experience ar
false no nature, whether of man or beast
thrives without stated pauses between stretche

1t Is singular fact says Partisan writer,
that man generally requires different qualities
IN wife from those he admires in sweet
heart. While lover, he expected to see his
future wife neatly and stylishly dressed when
ever he chose to call, either morning or evening,
and the girl busted her little brain all day in
efforts to please his taste. If he left town for
few days, he sent letters full OF sweet nothings
that filled her soul with joy. Then came
delightful rambles in the moonlight and hours
spent In charming teteG teterS after the family
had retired, when the two saw no one but each
other in their world of love.


Alas that such bliss. must ever be dispeled.
Time brought preparations for the approaching
wedding; fcF the devoted couple imagined that
their happiness could never be complete until
the hymeneal knot was tied.


So the wedding and honeymoon were soon
over, and the parties settled into the matter of
fact part of life. The bride knows nothing OF
housekeeping. Since her schooldays she has
spent her time in studying the tastes OF her
lover, which certainly seemed to incline towards
dress and sentimentality.


Now, alas she discovers that his stomach
demands food of the best quality; and because
she knows not how to cater to his palate
his love seams to be waning. While he i,
vIinly trying to appease hunger with sour breaC
and burned steak, little does he appreciate the
sweet nonsense and honeyed words which useC
to be so satisfying to his sentimental nature


All, men are so unreasonable They expec

they marry, yet have not penetration sufficien

to exhibit every feminine accomplishment, bot

acterize the lover should be so Withdrawn b

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE-A short time
ago young man, about twenty years OF age,
arrived in Baltimore from England, aud com
menced to look for work at his trade. After
9 'eral days fruitess search. the Gazette says
lie entered large factory on Lombard Street
and inquired for work of the Superintendent.
The latter questioned him, asking him his name
and where he was from, and other particulars
about his family. He told the superintendent
that his mother resided in England and had
reared him. his father having quarreled with
her. when he was an infant and had abandoned
them. and it was supposed that he had come to
America. but no tidings had been received from
him. When the young man concluded, the su
perintendent, who for many years had been EN-
pleyed by the firm with whom he is at present
engaged, said to the astonished youth, am
your father" They discussed family matters
at length, and the father, hearing from his son
that his mother had never ceased to mourn
their unfortunate difference and his absence
determined to proceed at once to- Europe and
bring her to this country and endeavor in the
future years to atone for his mistakes and errors
of the past He secured employment for hi
son, and obtaining the necessary leave o
absence from his employers, he sailed last weel
for England intending to bring back with hin

Docs VS.. SHEEP.-It has heen found by ex-
perience that in our mixed system of farming
the rearing of sheep may proftably form
part. Probably the best method for Pennsular
farmers will be to buy stock sheep in Septem,
ber, carry them through the winter in good
condition, and, after rearing the lambs and
obtaining the wool clip, close out the whole IN
autumn or early winter to the butcher. Ii IS
estimated that the wool will pay the expense
of their winter keep, and the lambs will be
the profit, leaving the improved condition OF
the sheep and their enhanced market value to
provide against such contingencies as loss from
disease and dogs. To encourage this business
the Legislature should, this winter give us q
law taxing dogs, the proceeds to constitute q
fund for reimbursing losses from dogs in such
cases as that in which the loss could not be
brought home by proof to the owner OF the
dogs. Losses from dogs is the most formid
al le obstacle in the way of sheep raising, but


it is found by experience that proper leglsla
ton greatly Iessens if not entirely removes
| this difficulty. Perhaps even Delaware Leg
islature might be made to see the necessity iol
such an enactment.-Er.
