IT was to eat the bread of dependence.
No man who eats that black

day that appeals to the heart-an ap-

the time when, from the sacred noun

Creator was heard proclaiming the
institution Of the Sabbath-''Six

that thou hast to do, but theseventh day

Upon the great ocean of faith this COM

obey the sacred command. And he does
listen and obey. Reader, as you glance
over the columns Of the SUNDAY AP-

ring out symphony from ten thousand

firmly rooted in the heart Of our race

Ben Butler has more genius than all
his enemies. There was never a more
skillfully drawn paper than his defense
of the "back salary grab" If any con-
gresham be unhappy about voting for
the little scheme by which each one sup
porting it thought he had settled with
the press and won victory, though
forced by the press to give up the frsnk-
ing privilege and mileage-if any poor
Congressman has not wit enough to de-
fend himself, let him read Buffers bro
chtre. 1t is unique, original, strong,
logical and full of interest. Butler shows
that the purchasing power Of Washing
ingtons salary Of twenty-five thousand
dollars was five times greater than that
OF Grant. II Grant were paid, in fact,
as much as Washington, his salary in
this age Of paper and consequent specu-
lation, and fraud, and vice, would be
certainly one hundred and seventy-five
thousand dollars instead of fifty
thousand, and the salaries of
judges would be three times greater
than to-day. Since the expenses
of congressman are much heavier than
Of judges and cabinet officers, Butler
thinks they should have the higher in
stead Of lower salaries. Grant is ma
liciously made by Batler the stupendous
leading figure in the grand procession of
back-sslary grabbers. They all stand
meekly and humbly just behind him,
and Butler and Aleorn, two of the rich
est men in congress, and neither
valuing seven thousand five hundred
dollars above its true worth, alone, of all
the dastardly moi, have courage enough
to stand up like true men and
assert the wisdom and justice
of the measure. These two alone
say they have no apologies to make.
While approving Buffers boldness and
ingenuity and pitying poor Grant-who
never before led charge, though he has
sent myriads into the jaws of hell-we
must not forget the wickedness of But
Ter in this malicious effort TO cover con-
gness with the wretched little body Of the

The Boston HCrdld advances a
curious theory about deialcations,

ory, the Herald declares that it cam

Those who have given the subject most attention, are of opinion that the supply of wheat is not enough to meet the wants of this community until next harvest. James Lee says the daily consumption of flour in Tue son is about 5000 pounds. We hear there is much less wheat than was anticipated in Salt and Gila Valleys, but that barley is abundant. Still it is by no means certain that there will be a surplus of barley in the Territory by next harvest time. Little grain, comparatively speaking, was produced this year in Yavapai county, and heretofore the market along the Colo rado River has been supplied from California, whereas it is now done from the Gila and Salt Valleys. It may be wise to sell barley atthe pres ent low prices, but unless parties are obliged to do it, they can hardly fail to get 0 considerable advance be- fore another crop can be produced.

From the time the colt is born, he should
be taught to regard man, whom he is af-
terward to serve, as his protector and
friend. A human hand should first lift
him gently to his feet, and direct his little
mouth to the source of maternal nourish-
ment. With the human touch he should
thus early be made to associate caresses
and a supply for all his wants. Instead of
yells and oaths and kicks and rude blows,
he should hear only gentle, loving tones
from the attendants mouth, and pettings
from his kind palm. He should be taught
to expect and watch for mans entrance to
the stall or paddock where he'is kept, as a
dog waits for the coming of the master. as
the season of JOY and happiness. His lit
tie deer-like limbs should be handled, and
he be taught to yield them promptly and
without fear to the masters touch. In
short everything that loving ingenuity can
devise should be done TO impress upon his
mind thus early in life that man Is his
natural protector and friend, Between
whom and him an intimate companionship
has been ordained by beneficent Nature.

There is bill before Congress to authorize


the bui1ding Of , bridge over the Mississippi
River at Memphis, and st. Louis is in a11as.
st. Louis complains that the navigation Of the
xiTer above St. Louis Las been ruined by
bridges and that when the bridge at st. Louis
WAS built, sit Was understood there was never
to be any bridge built below that city," During
the debate, there WIS one sensible member who
made the suggestion that the river should be
bridged at every available point all the way
down to New Orleans. Unless it is intended to
make the Mississippi River sort Of boundary line
separating the country into two distinct peoples,
whose intercourse must be carried On exclusively
BY the means Of ferry boats, the sooner the river
sbridged at every point where bridge is needed,
the better it will be for the people aud States On
both sides Of the river and for the country gen.
erally. If anybody il willing to spend the money
to build bridge at Memphis, or anywhere else,
let him do 1t. The prosperity and settlement OF
the whole country west Of the Mississippi River,
south Of Cairo, could.'not be more prodtably pro.
noted than by constructing bridge ut every
eligible site, and the man who Offers to build
such bridge ought to bo regarded "a public

The Court Of Common Pleas Of Philadelphia,


d few days since, refused the application Of the


Credit Mobi1ier to wind up its affairs The
Credit Mobiier petitioned for the decree Of dis
solution under the act Of 1856, on the ground
that since July; 1868. the corporation has trans-
acted no business. The Court based its refusal
upon the ground that the Government claims to
be creditor to = largo amount, that Congress
has directed the employment OF counsel for the
prosecution Of the claims, and that tho Court
had no right to embarrass the action Of the Gov
e1nment By declaring the Credit Mobiier out Of
existence. Tho final statement Of the Court
is one which Will give universal satisfaction, and
Is admirable for the concise manner in which the
mil is hit upon the head. The Court says


It This corporation should be compelled to con-
tinue to live, and stand in it's proper place un-
til It mny be made clear, beyond reasonable
doubt, TINT without prejudice to the public vel
fare or tho interest Of the corporation-and ne
raa5 add that Of it's crcditors-we may safely
giyo to it the death which it desires to die BY
Our hands." There is grim humor, as well as
great Justice, in this decision Of tha Philadel-'
phia Court. The Credit Mobile1 should not be
allowed to escape puniahment by committing
suicide, aud quietly dropping into the grave
it has prepared for itself.

There is an evident disposition in Congress to
delay action with regard to the members who
shall be proved to have had guilty connection

ing, notably, the question whether members can
be held accountable for acts done ns members
of former Congress, will occupy discussion Of
ten days or two weeEs before the main point, as
to what the report shall he, be reached at all.
The appointment Of al Investigating Committee
by the Senate at this late day is another eyi-
dance OF the same disposition to delay. 1t would
hare. been usual to call upon The House
Committed to certify OYER to the Senate the
evidence that had come before them concerning
Senators. The Senate could then have taken
direct recognition Of the caseH. Congress will
make serious mistake If this attempted evasion
Of quick and summary punishment for Credit
Mobilier frauds shall be encouraged The people
OF the country are not in any mood to tolerate
trihing. Whateyer is to be done by Congress in
this matter must be done openly and energeti-
ca1ly. Any procrastination or whitewashing will
inevitably be construed as confession that
majority Of Congress Is corrupt to such a degree
that it dkre not meet the Credit Mobiler's 1eve-
1ations squarely.

ALFALFA AS FEED TOR HoGs.-There is no doubt as regards the adaptability of alfalfa in it's green state, to the successful feeding of swine. Gid and young alike are fond af it, and with little or no other vegetable food, can be kept in fine growing condition till they have attained full size but to fatten them for the butcher, requires a more oily or saccharine food. In feeding with alfalfa exclusively or nearly 30, it must be borne in mind that it is intended to continue the field to alfalfa the following year, every hog must have ring in the nose or every root of all falfa will be rooted out or eaten.

 The animal seems to be even more fond of the root than the top and will do heavy wsr rk to get it, roofing the ground completely into a condition of perfect pulverization and to a greater depth than blow and harrow can go. IL is therefore one of the best fallow crops that can be given to the land, and should have it's place aud year, in all systems of rotation | in climate like ours allowing the hogs to eat and root their very best.

 It would simply surprise some of our hog | growers, to see how easily 300 animals, old and young, can be kept in a perfectly thriv- ing condition in a few acres of alfalfa on suit able ground and we would recommend a trial of the same as worthy their attention always bearing in mind the necessity of ar abundance of pure water accessible to tht herd at all times.
