Book bier has made its appearance
There are eseveral fables connected with
its nameand origin. The one generally
received as authentic is that in the old
time Ritter came from Brunswick to
Bavaria, and put up at the castle Of an
other knight. Beer was set before him,
and he partook of it, but said that it
was poor; not like that which he had
brewed for him at home. His friend
told him to call again next spring and
bring keg Of his home-brewed with
him. He did so, and the two friends
drank, portion for portion, each taking
others beer. Presently the Bruins wick
knight felt sick, went outdoors, and
was found on all fours vainly trying to
rise.. On being interro yated he said it
wasn't the beer that had done il, but
goat (Bock) had met him at the door,
run between his legs and upset him.
Hence ever afterwards the strong beer
of spring went by the name Of Book

feated, high Divine avenging power
seems to follow the murderer, and if
he does not fall into the hands of the
law, he generally meets some terrible
retribution through Heavens vengeance
We know wife-murderer who defeated
the law for some time; but when his
guilt was made clear, and the officers
came to arrest him, he was dead, having
been struck by lightning.


Mysterious trifes often bring the cul-
prit to punishment. Thus it was in the
case where a wealthy landlord in the
south Of Ireland was shot down in one
of his own domains. The murderer
was disturbed by an approaching foot
step, and he threw down his gun by the
side of his victim and fed The man
who approached bent over the dead, and
tried to arouse him. Some villagers
coming up arrested the innocent man
as the murderer, and he was sent to
prison. The gun was examined. and in
it was found as wadding piece of an
old ballad. The murderer was also ar
rested, and in the corner of his vest
pocket was found the other half of the
ballad. Daniel O'Connell, the Irish
member of his time, was conducting the
case for the prosecution. He joined to-
gether the two pieces, one found in the
gun, ants the other in the murderers S
vest. The torn letters ran into one an
other. He held it up to the jury. The
innocent man found over the dead body
was released, and the real murderer
placed, on the stand. He was condemn
ed to he hanged by the circumstantial
evidence. On the scaffold he owned to
his guilt,and the business of his sentence
Thus trihe saved the innocent man, land

Not above three-fourths of Apache thefts and murders have ever been reported in print. The Apache out rages reported by the press of Ari- zona are sad realities. There is not an opponent of the Colyer policy in Arizona who wants the war to proceed against the hostile Indians one day beyond that which is necessary to bring them to state of peace which can be trusted.

We respectfully ask our friends in Congress, and all others in favor of fair dealing, to read with care this letter. It recites truth. It shows that the Pima Indians have no more right to complain against the Gila settlers above their reserve, than they have to whine and misrepresent the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. The Pima and Maricopa Indians raised and sold more grain the present year than ever before, and their num- bers are not increasing. They now get far more goods and store supplies for the same quantity of grain, than before any settlers were above their reserve, and the fact that they now produce more grain than ever before, ought to convince every just man that they are benefited instead of injured by the settlements around them.

FROM the BlT1S IntelngenCer-


While some papers in the State are be-
coming clamorOus for a rate of taxation
which they themselves fx-in all probability
too low TO meet the demands of the State,
on the most economical basis-we think
the Legislature will put the rate at the very
lowest possible figures, consistent with the
honor and credit of the State. We should
not ask for rate 50 low as not to meet the
necessities of the case, and thereby increase
the burden in the future, to that extent that
might result in utter bankruptcy on the
one hand, or on the other deliberately iu
auguaie policy, which, to escape the first
evil, would inevitably drive the people to
the deplOrabe eXpedent Of raising the cry
for Reputation.


When the Legislature shall have made
the most critical and careful calculation,
including the necessary appropriations to be
made during the present session, and cur
rent expenses, together with all that is now
known, through the reports of the different
departments already rendered, then let
them fix the rate the lowest that will meet
the case: and with that the people should
be satisfied, whether it be %, 35, or 45 cents
on the 500. But to demand now a specific
rate, say p cents on the 500. and thereby
suffer the State indebtedness to increase by
a frightful accumulation of interest and
unprovided for claims, so as to compel the
next Legislature tC more than double the
rate TO meet the increased debt, would lie
a piece of unprecedented4olly, both in the
people and their Representatives. Yet We
say the people have a right to demand Of
the Legislature the most rigid economy, and
the lowest possible rate of taxation cOmpat-
IDLE with the honor and obligations of the
