The Pimas have made many sue cessful war raids upon the Apaches but we have an account of late one which amounted to nothing. McDowell letter of July 13 says:

 On the 11th instant, about 15( Pima Indians went by this post on a campaign against the Apaches. They returned yesterday and report to have found a camp of 40 or 50 Apaches about ten miles above Mcdowell. The Apaches fired on the Pimas first and as usual, l suppose, the Pimas run; although they say they returned the fire but did not get any Apaches.

 The Pimas acted very strangely on this scout. They did not ask the commanding officer for anything, either to eat or to have their horses shod, as they always have done be- fore when on scout. They appeared to be very much on their dignity and very independent. They said the government would do nothing for them but would feed and arm the Apaches. They also complain of the low price of grain and said they could not make a living at present prices. and further that the Gila was dry and no indication of rain this Summer, so they could not raise corn and vegetables. They did not want to talk much about the recent trouble on the Gila, but said that they felt no Ill will against the Americans; also that as they had killed the Mex lcan who killed Antonio AzuPs son, hey were satisfied.

 A party of men who have been out with Judge Hayden, looking for tim per up the Verde, passed here yester- Jay morning. They report that while in camp & few miles above here, a party of Apaches came near their amp, but as soon as the Apaches dis oovered the party, they ran away.

Probably in no part of the United States will our national birthday be observed with more beftting cere- monies than in the City of Philadel- phia. The site for the great Centen- nial building, wherein all the peoples of the earth are invited to gather in

 1876, and rejoice over the completion of @ hundred years of American Re- publicanism, will then be dedicated with whatever solemnity the city can put forth. There will be no such pa- geant as might attend similar cere- monial in the old world; but the oc- casion will be rich ill interesting as- sociations, and the orator of the day will be but poor type of the Ameri- can citizen if he be not inspired by the scene to something better than the average eloquence of the Fourth of July. It is little more than a stone's throw to the spot where the D ecl lara ti n of Independence was signed. The old Hall remains, and the old bell winch proclaimed liberty throughout all the land might be heard again if its voice were not cracked. The place will be sacred with memories of patriotism, courage, and devotion; and if we think then and there of our national greediness, it will only be to feel ashamed of 1t.

 Ten years ago the most hopeful of us hardly supposed that a celebration ike this would be possible. It seemed then as if the centenary festival must find us either two rival and independ- ent nations, or two hostile sections, unwillingly held together, sharing no aspirations in common, keeping no common holiday. Few of us imag- ined that, whatever might be the is- sue of the war, its scars could be so soon obliterated and its bitterness so soon forgotten. It will be one of the most gracious recollections of the day that brethren long estranged will meet in cordial embrace, and soldiers who have fought against each other will unite in saluting their common flag. Nothing will speak so eloquently as this of the real strength and glory of the principles defined at Philadel- phia in 1776. The progress of Amer ica in the development of her resour- ces, the ingenuity of her inventions, the value of her manufactures, the taste and skill of her artisans, the culture of her scholars and her artists, speak far less for the character of our institutions than the fact that we have passed through this terrible so- cial and political crisis with so little harm that in eight years its effects have nearly disappeared. The last political campaign seems to have marked the close of the brief period of bitterness and distrust which fol- lowed the formal cessation of hostili- ties. The better human nature of the \ orth and the South had been grad | ually asserting itself for some time and in the support given by the con- luered people of the South to one of the most conspicuous leaders of the party which they had been accustomed 5o style their oppressors, the smolder- ng embers of the war were finally extinguished, and We become once nore a united people. The spectacle # reconciliation will be the bravest # all the brave sights of the coming Centennial, and the most impressive n the eyes of the world abroad.

Tommy, come to mamma


a sullen little face, with scowlng brows
and pouting lips, appeared at the door.


" What have you got TO do?"


" ! We got to stay in bed all day" And
With the words Tommy ierked of his jack
ct, and kicked one boot across the chamber
floor.


What naughty thing have you been
doing2"


Spelling the Gala lily"


The words, tone and manner of the little
boy Of six were so hard and defiant that
vague alarm seized me, and | said gently :;


Come here, my poor little laddie and
get in mamma's bed. You look very cold :"


The downcast eyes were lifted in strange,
glad surprise, and the remaining garments
were laid aside softly. Slowly, shyly and
quesiioningly the little fellow crept in by
my side and lay quite still


Now, Tommy, tell mamma all about it,"


" | only Just pinched the littlest leaf

tight for There's ever so many more"


Yes, Tommy, but no more like this
one. All the year you have seen these lit
tie rolls unfold into broad, glossy, green
leaves but this one, Tommy, was a bud
If you had watched, without touching it,
you would have seen it grow larger and
lighter in color, until some bright morning
you would have run down stairs, to shout
and clap your little hands over the most
beautiful flower you ever beheld 1t would
have looked up lovingly into your face from
its heart Of gold, and its pure velvet lips
would have smiled upon you for letting it
live and bloom. am so sorry you hurt
the dear little bud, that now can never be

No, dear"


You mended the cup broke"


Yes darling A broken China cup

Tie bud, waiting to become a rich, golden
flower, pinched and torn by cruel fingers,
can never be restored"


And God cannot restore it, mamma ?'


The penitence, pathos and despair of the
child's face was indescribable | drew the
little form TO my breast in silent awe.


I'm most as bad as Cain, mamma,
sobbing heavily.


How is that, dear ?"


I've killed something. But, mamma

There is such a thing as sin and there
is danger in sin---danger to the body
danger to the understanding danger to the
affections; danger to the taste and the i'm
agination danger to the conscience dan
ger in this life and above all, most ap-
palling danger in the life that is to come
For, as a man dies, so shall he rise again
As he leaves this world, so he starts in the

if he is filed full of sins and transgressions

many of you as have come down hither,

Gently, and are already beginning, in the
place where you are, to be ashamed Of your
Bibles, and are forgetting the promise
which you made to your mothers, and the
VOWS which you made to yourselves, do not
suffer yourselves to be shared. Surely, in
vain is the fowlers snare set right in your
sight, and you put your foot in it and are
caught


beseech you believe in virtue; believe
in truth; believe in honesty and fidelity ;
believe in honor; believe in God; believe
in Gods laws and in Gods providence.
Put your trust in God, aud in the faith of
God, and not in the seeming of deceitfll
and apparently prosperous men. Let no
man witch your soul from you, let no man
dazzle your understanding from you; let
no man by any sinuous courses draw you
aside from that straight and narrow way
where there is safety. And whatever else
you get, have peace every day with your
own conscience. Whatever else you offend,
do not offend your God. Keep Him on
your side. Do what is right, and then
fear no man. Do what is right and trust
in God, and all the world cannot hurt you.
Neither time, nor DEATH nor eternity can
harm those that follow the light that God
throws upon their path. And for all i'm
perfections trust to His gracious and for
giving love.

How YouNG MEN Should DRISK.--
Stand up straight like man, your left side
to the bar, take the glass neatly and firmly
between the thumb and forefnger Of the
right hand, letting the little finger drop
down to near the bottom Of the glass, swing
the glass in plano exactly corresponding
with the top of tho bar, until it is precisely
before you. Just then throw the head
back little, push the chin forward, SO as
to leave the throat in full, open, easy
position. Compress the lips tightly, draw
full breath through the nostrils, and with
graceful curve raise the glass until the
rim is within about three inches of your
chin. Now is the supreme moment. just
here turn your eyes upward, think of your
mother, and open your hand instead of your
mouth If any one laughs, it will be an
insult which you should resent by not going
there again.

different firms deal extensively in it,
and a large number End it profitable

timated that at least ten times the
amount of grain has flowed in this
year over that Of any previous year.

What we now particularly refer to is
the number of teams which haul in
heavy loads from North String. The
bull teams which haul in heavy loads
from Cache Valley, and the long lines
of Montana freighters returning from
the north, who stop at Malad and load
up with the produce Of that highly
fertile valley. From Malad valley
alone the amount of grain swells to
magnificent proportions.


An idea of the grain business can
be formed from the fact that one par
ty loaded ten Central Pacific cars, and
to-day called for fifteen more. Every
vacant room and shed on North Side
has been turned into grane1y or
storage room by the enterprising par

THERE is a fearful fight going on
between the sheep and cattle men Of
Colorado. The cattle men claim that
sheep destroy the range; that they are
a nuisance, and have no right on the
public lands. The cattle men some
time since killed a number of sheep
belonging to a herd in the neighbor-
hood Of their herds, and the sheep
men retaliated by killing one of tbs
cattle herders; and from this, war was
declared between the two parties all
over the Territory. The officers and
public seem afraid to take sides OF
make any arrests. Colorado wants
both cattle and sheep, and would like
to fraternize the warning parties and
encourage the raising of both cattle
and sheep. But the impression is, one
or the two must succumb, as both can
not prosper in the same locality.
