What is more tender than mothers love,
To the sweet infant fondling in her arms ?
What arguments need her compassion move
To hear its cries, and help it in its harms 2
Now if the tenderest mother were possessed
OF all the love within her single breast,
OF all the mothers since the world began,
'Tis nothing to the love of God to man.

Never did man more confuse and puz-

Grant. His annual message, given in our

1t is sound, sensible and patriotic whore it
was expected that it would be jesuitical
and replete with the plausible mockery
that subtle ambition would invent.

DAIRY PRoDUors AND THEIR PRIcRs One of the largest houses engaged in the pro- duce business in New York have issued . circular under the title::of Caution to Cheese Manufacturers and Consumers" in which they draw attention to the fact that the cost of the products of the dairy is now so great as to materially curtail the consump- ton; especially on butter while at the same the production has increased. They believe that dairy product can no longer resist the general shrinkages in values, and that all the indications point to such reaction In prices as will revive the dropping demand They say further:

 We recommend all milk buyers with whom we have any influence to make their contracts at from twenty to twenty-i per cent. less than they have been doing for some time past, but we do not claim that prices must sooner or later come down, in keeping with other articles of American produce and we believe thA, we are now in that transition state which will change butter and cheese from articles of luxury to those of necessity, and prces accord ingly."

 The New York Bulletin pronounce these suggestions well timed, and expresses the opinion that the price of butter during the season just closing has been too high both for producer and receiver, and has served the interests of neither. The Bulletin adds that producers must modify their expectations on forthcoming crops, at the result of the txtremely high prices prevailing this season has been to frighter off the great mass of buyers, and greatly curtsil the home demand, while the demand for export lies almost entirel, dorment

MINING NEws.-0wiug to the inclcmency

 "f the weather during the early part of the

 week, very few miners have been in town. so that is has been almost impossible to get much information touching the different min 'ng localities. We might sit here and imac- me big strikes on the Hassayampa, Agua Fria, Lynx creek, etc, and give them to the pubic as facts, but in that we would soon be detected, no doubt, and our reports voted a fraud. So that for selfish reasons. if for no higher consideration, We prefer not to publish anything unless we can be assured on good authority that it is true. It is not our purpose, nor shall we indulge in any whitewashing process, to infiate the country by blowing 1t up, or trying to make it appear greater or better than it really is. What ever is published in the MINER, as truth, we expect people to believe, and not to betray their confidence we shall always try to make it worthy of belief by giving them the truth if we know it. What is wanted in Arizona Is capital to develop the mines, and until that comes it is useless for laborers without means to come in any great numbers for they will surely be disappointed. The money is in the ground, but it takes money to get it out, and poor men cannot do it unaided bv capital.

oUR TUCSON coRREsPoNDENT has sent us communication this week which VIC are obliged to decline for the reason that if is not in harmony with our settled opinions as to the unquestionable right of every one to worship God precisely in his or her own way. or not to worship at all if they do not choose to, provided always that they do not inter- fere with the rights of others. Religious bigotry is a crying evil in this and every land, and the only cure we know for it is to educate the masses. It will do no good to anathemsti1e the church for the action of in- dividuai members. Our sentiments accord on the question of schools, and where the church interposes itself as a barrier to their progress We oppose the church on that ground, but have no controversy on any other.

 approved lessons of modern experience. This

 Territory, to greater extent perhaps than

 any other, is full of mineral bearing veins.

 En:e, it where you will, if the primitive rock, or rather bedrock formation, comes to the surface you will have but little trou

 tering this Territory, at the richness of the veins as compared with the celebrated bonan- gas of Washoc, Grass Valley and elsewhere. without taking into account the great differ ence in the expense of working ores so re- mote from any cheap means of transporta- tion, as against those more accessible.

 This difficulty will, of course, right itself in time, and the rich and extensive lodes of Bradshaw and other mountains will receive their proper share of attention; but just at present those who come with means and ex- perience to enable them to operate success fully in mines, appear to lose all anxiety to look beyond the Sandy. As soon as they have seen the Sandy their cup appears to be full, and they assume at once that there can be nothing better, consequently they stop, enter into negotiations and return to San Francisco to report that they have seen it all. , That the great McCracken mine at Sandy , IS immensely rich and extensive we have heard no one pretend to doubt, and we re- i, )o'ce to hear of its successful development. o but that there are mines in the mountains of :. favapai surrounded by the finest timber. |, pure, cold water, splendid climate, and all a the natural convenences and comforts of the i, most favored mining countries on earth. that :.

 REMINDERS OF THE OLDEN TrME.-There are few things in Arizona to remind hoo sier of the land of his birth that we have nowhere else met in our 26 years wandering up and down the Pacific Coast. Among these are wild turkeys and black walnuts. 1t Is true the latter are quite inferior in size to those we were wont to hoard away in the garret for winter use in those ''earlier and better days" Of tow-linen shirts and bare feet; and the trees upon which they grow are but scrubby anamorphosis of the state ly JagtGns nigra of our native forests. but they are black walnuts nevertheless, and serve to call up flood of recollections from the tomb of buried years that are pleasant but painful to indulge in.

 The wild turkey of Arizona is in no way inferior to those of the Western Atlantic States, and, indeed, if we can trust to memo ", in looking back through the mists of more than quarter of century, those brought into Prescott during the winter were superior Tn size to aEy We ever saw in those States. Twenty pounds is not an un- common figure for these to attain to, and We have the testimony of reliable witnesses that some have gone as high as forty pounds.

 It isn't every hunter who brings in a tur- key when he goes after them, though Gene ral Crook killed seven between Christmas and New years, which is evidence that there are few in the woods.

 Wild Cherry trees form another link to bind Arizona to the land of our earlier mem- 'rles, and when We saw them, though it was not m the fruit season, we felt as Joe Hamil- lon said he was affected when he first beheld Sonoma county worm fence, ian almost irresistible desire to jump out of the stage md run and climb it.''

We trust we shall not be accused of being a man-worshipper if we express small DOT tion of the admiration we have for the per son whose name heads this paragraph. Three times it has been our fortune to occupy places made safe from Indian depredations by his consummate skill and management where other Commanders had failed-once in north ern California, once in Idaho, and now in Arizona. In the two former we were among the sufferers from their thieving incursions, besides seeing our friends killed and mangled by dozens. Under such circumstances we feel constrained by grateful sense of pres ent security as well as past immunity to offer our feeble need of praise to the chief actor in reducing the wild tribes of this coast from a state of savage barbarity and blood thirsty atrocity to one of comparative harmlessness. Add to all this the many acts of preferred kindness he has extended to us since our arrival here at his headquarters, and we feel that we should be excused if we become somewhat enthusiastic.

The Yuma Sentinel makes the following sensible remarks:

 The grand question to be considered i, can flowing water be obtained from artesian wells in Arizona2 We answer that there can be no doubt Os it. The peculiar forma- tion of the country eminently favors it. All these vast plains are backed by lofty noun tains which contain the reservoirs which have subterranean veins running in all di rectiOns. When these veins are tapped by the artesian auger the water necessarily rises, by that we'll known law of nature which causes it to seek its level, and the flowing we'll is complete. We have only to look at the southern counties of California to see the value of these wells. There, i'm mense tracts of land that had lain worthless and unprOductve ever since the fOunda- tiOn of the world, have been rendered i'm mensely valuable, producing all that the earth is capable of yielding, in the greatest profusiOn, making wealth and beauty where before was only poverty and gloom. And we have every facility for obtaining flowing wells in Arizona that they have in Calfor- nia. In fact we have higher and heavier chains of mountains backing our plains than they have. What wealth is in store for the man who obtains flowing we'll on one of our rich but now unproductive plains We are glad to see our excellent Governor, in his message to the legislature now sitting, strongly recommends "that reward of $5,OO0 be given for the first flowing water obtained by means of artesian well within the Territory" We have no doubt that the legislature will pass an act in accordance with the Governors recommendation.

 Here then will be an incentive to some man to try the experiment, and if success full, hundreds of others will follow, and our now arid and unproductive plains will soon teem with ali the comforts and luxuries of civilized life, and "the desert be made to blossom like the rOse"

With bitter struggle of composure,
ner dark eyes dilating, her beautiful
race Write and set, she confessed
that the "baneful poison of natural
love" had crept with insidious but
giant strides into her heart What
must have been her conviction of
sin when, with the courage of de-
spair, she admitted that Brother
Ernest had absorbed all her thoughts
for many months. She had borrow
ed his books, learned his language,
talked to him; until suddenly awak-
ened and alarmed at the sympathy,
cOngeniality, and admiration which
she fell with and for him, she would
have fled from the pleadings of her
own heart if she had had strength
left to do so. Then, deathly pale
and painting heavily, she took from
her bosom apacket of letters writ
ten by her Brother Ernest. If they
had been the price of innocent blood
Minerva could not have cast them
down with more Yehemence before
the ministry.


With solemn emphasis the senior
eldIess spoke. ''Let repentance
have its perfect work. Read the
letters aloud. Who are they from?''


Minerva had spoken so hurriedly
and incoherently that her lovers
name was not yet known. With
quivering lips she was forced to re-
peat it. A beseeching look at FL
dress Orangia told her that the poor
young sister prayed to be spared
this ordeal of reading the letters.
but not an iota of the cross could
the eldress remove. She could only
sadly whisper, ''Nay, you must com
ply"


And the whole correspondence
was read, and the answers confessed
word by word as well as the SHINING
sister could remember. One letter,
written in German, she begged to
have burned without reading. The
eldressess of course were ignorant
of the language, and looked undeci-
ded.


81 will burn it right here before
your eyes," entreated Minerva; and
she took from a work basket belong
ing to Eldres Philomel an old tin
der box and flint; a precious rel
ic once belonging to Mother Ann.
With feyerish haste she struck fire,
and the next moment Brother Err
nests words of love were converted
into the white ashes of her sacrifice,
Think what a sacrifice, when there
were pages of rhapsody such as
this :.


'My heart goes out to thee, my
soul cries out to thee in yearning,
passionate might! Life has become
a dream! How can I think it a re-
ality? l was once surrounded, in
my fatherland, with beautiful high
born women who had no power over
my heart, and here have yielded it
wholly to thee, my enchantress, nay,
my pure saint


"Oh, how vainly strive against
my passion. Love at its widest
was never so untamed as the love of
my undiciplined heart; and yet it is
pure, for l would not touch the hem
of thy garment, nor raise mine eyes
to meet the heaVenly-pure bright
ness of thine unbidden by thee"

There is an idea that praise is too


good thing to be given to the chill


dren; that It is too rich for their
mental and moral digestion. Some
parents are so afraid that child will


grow proud that they never praise
him, and this course is often disas-
trous. 1t is apt to produce too much
self-assertion-for self-assertion is a
legitimate outgrowth of withholding
eOmmendation from one who is en-
titled to it, or it will engender self
distnHst or melancholy hopelessness
of disposition. Praise is sunshine TO
a child, and there is no child that
does not need it. 1t is the high re-
ward of ones struggle to do right.


Thomas Hughes says that yo4 can


never get mans best out of him


without praise. You certainly can
never get a child's best out of him


without praise. Many sensitive
child, We believe, dies of hunger for
Isckof eommendation. Many child
starving for the praise a parent
should give, rGps eagerly after the
designing hattery of others. To
withhold praise where It is due is
dishonest, and in the case of 8 child.
such a course often leaves a singing
sense of injustice. Motives of com.
mon Justice as well as a regard for
the future of the child should ipfiu-
.enee the parent to give generous
praise to all who deserve it. OF
course there is a difference in the
constitution of children; some can
not bear SO much praise as others;
and some need a great deal. 1t should
never be indiscriminate. We remem.
be wonderful woman who taught a
school in one village until she had
educated part of three generations.
She was one of the most successful
teachers, but her success lay in her
gift of praiSing with discrimination.
A bad boy who was good scholar
got praises for his brilliancy sand
wiohed between her abomination of
his bad behavior, and so was won to
a better life aud we recall a rood
girl who had no gift to learning rap
idly, but who was saved from utter
dispair by the praise she got for her
untiring industry. Into the diseour-
aged heart of the children the praise
of the teacher came like sunlight;
and the virtues, like fruit, can only
ripen In sunshine.
