business this query has been settled
in the most practical way. They ad-

"read him out the party" and he
will laugh in your face. There is
great vitality in our nation, and
abundance OF patriotism, that will

their liberties. 1t only remained
dormant by reason of the attention
of the people being diverted from
the affairs of their country. Love OF
country is q natural instinct in the
breast of every human being-it is as
natural as the love of parents. Many
things have occurred in the past four
years, to divert the attention of the
people from the real situation Of
affairs. Demagogues and office-seek-

nation as whole-taking care to
keep alive and create bitter feeling
of one section Of the country against
the other-this being their principal

establish goodwill and harmony be-

fostering popular prejudices has di-
rected the attention of the people
from public affairs, while corruption
and plunder has been the order Of
the day, and gigantic corporations
and rings have been formed, and
have attached themselves to the body
polite, like blood suckers, drawing
the very life blood Of the nation. 1t

A CURIOUS CLIAlATE.-The climate
of Peru is set forth by a correspond
ent as exceedingly peculiar and
strange. 1t never rains there, we are
told, but during certain seasons, and
when the atmosphere is filed with
clouds, "dew falls so thick, heavy and
continuous that it will saturate the
heaviest clothing in less than half an
hour" The coming and going of the
clouds that distill this dew is another
strange thing connected with Peru
The changes are reported SO rapid and
violent as to startle the stranger. One
may be walking along the street, glo-
rying in the rich warmth OF the sun
shine, and admiring the deep, clear
blue sky, and almost imperceptibly a
change takes place, "and from the
southwark mass of dark clouds
come rolling across the armament
and soon the blue sky is replaced by q
somber pail, and to the glorious sun
shine succeeds drlzzlihg, penetrating
mist" And this is also changed
again, even while one is preparing to
guard against the mist, the sunlight
and the sky reappears in all their
brightness and beauty.

Bird nature is much like human nature in
love Of fun and fondness for teasing others.
We have seen young people good deal like
Ralph, the crow. A writer says:


Some years ago, being out shooting with a
friend, he slightly wounded a young raven.
Having heard oflhe ease with which these birds
may be tanned, we begged the life of the captive,
and, having tied his legs, brought him home in
the buggy. In few days he entirely recover.
ed from his wouRd, and became very familiar,
amusing and mischievous.


His usual perch was the top Of shed, which
stood on an alley much frequented by pigs, pOul-
try and stray dogs Ralph would watch his
chance, and when q pig came near his perch, he
would aligbt upon the back Of the astonished
grnnter, and ride him about, quickening his
pace by repeated digs of his beak, and shouting
his delight most vociierously.


If he saw dog lying in the alley gnaWing q
bone, he would steal softly behind him, and

There is a well-grounded fear that
the transportation lines to the sea
board, controlled in Wall street, will
unite at the close OF navigation to
increase rates, at their own sweet
will, to such al extent as to reduce
still further the small margin now
left to the producer.


If they do this, the farmers must
then hold their grain at any cost,
until the combination is broken,
which will surely be the result. II
they cannot get the grain to carry,
they will be in as bad Il fix rs the
farmers themselves, who after paying
transportation and other charges,
find themselves without compensa-
tion for their labor. Nay, worse, for
the farmer has ut least enough to
warm his house, and to eat of the
bare necessities Of life, and, though
distasteful, he can, il he SO choose,
wear his old clothes to still greater
extent Of raggedness, rather than see
all the proceeds Of his hard labor go
for transportation and other charges.


The now partly-crippled capitalist
may thus seek to help themselves by
largely increased prices at the close
of navigation. II so it will rebound
upon themselves. The producers of
the West will not bear much further
squeezing. If great corporations can
suspend payment, why not the farm
er? Indeed, he must, unless he get
something more for his grain than
simply enough to hardly pay the ex-
pense Of the labor employed in rails
ing it.


II Western railroads could he
managed by Western men, or rather,
II some system could be devised to
prevent this gambling in stocks
there would be hut little difficulty in
settling our transportation troubles on
a basis Arm and just to all parties
concerned. - Western RurdI.

BY favor of Dr. Handy, we recently en- joyed a pleasant Tide to and view of the smelling and refining works south of Tue son, owned by Messrs. Hughes, Fully, Ochoa & Co.,, Stevens and others. They are not very elaborrte but sufficient to properly test all smelling ores-the ob- ject of their erection. Lots from several mines are at the works, which were at the time engaged upon quantity from the Colorado Picacho. It is the opinion of those in charge that in addition to test ing the value of the mines, the works will pay all expenses if fnothing more. They now have quantity of unrefined metal which is mainly copper but is known to contain silver. So far as can be judged, the Colorado Picacho ore will pay well. Progress and results will continue to be noted.
