The San Diego Uaion is sorely troubled because there is such a feasible southern railroad route as that neal the 35th parallel of north latitude, which, in its assumed mild ness it terms the seriously snow-thrcatened route of parallel Thirty-Five," which threat coming from San Diego, will not be likely to bring down any very great quantity Of snow upon route that has always been free from snow, and always will be, despite the weak attempts of insignificant enemies to block it up. But the paper in question is, if possible, worse put out over the fears that the great Scott, of Pennsylvania, is not going to hurry the building of the 32d Parallel road, and it is sorely grievcd to learn that he has asked Congress for leave to build the road from the East only. What dampener Where would the Union and San Diego be in ten years are questions we will leave for other people to answer, not wishing to hurt anybody feelings, or to lower the price of San Diego water lots.

 But this is not all. It is feared that Ari- zoua City will. when the road is built, be- come a successful rival to San Diego. And it will. Situated, ss it is, upon navigable river, which connects it with the ocean as well as with important points in Arizona, California and Utah, the people of San Die 20 may we'll take on about this "bugbear." '"

 But San Diego may yet amount to some thing if her press and people be not too greedy and too reckless of truth when speak ing of other places and things.

 For our part, we believe both roads will be built inside the next six years, and far be it from us to decry either route or road, know ing, as we do, the feasibility of both routes and the urgent demand for the construction of both the proposed roads.

 It isa fact worthy of note that while the Union is making insidious attacks on the 35.h Parallel concern, the President of the San Diego & San Bernardino Railroad com pany, who happens to be a San Diego man, is attempting to dispose of his company's charter 10 the 35th Parallel K. R. Company, mainly to induce the said company to run their proposed road to San Diego. He, at least, must have hope of the speedy construc- ton of the 35th Parallel road, through the immense depth of eight or ten inches of snow which block the route for a total distance of about % miles,

We arc in receipt of very lengthy letter from some person at the Rio Verde, who, for some reason best known to himself "forgot to affix his signature to the paper-the drift of which is that the Apache -Mobaves are and have been good Indians, and that had govern mcnt given all the ratons they could have got away with, at such times as they might have been pleased to call at the post and receive them, all would now be we'll

 Now, this reasoning in entirely fallacious, as may be proven by many men who have known the Apache-M -Mohaves longer, perhaps, than tho writer in question, but who, for good and sufficient reasons, firmly believe that the Apache -Mohaycs are good Indians to lie, rob and murder. The anonymous au- thor knows very we'll that even at the time the Indians were receiving ten days rations at one issue, during which time they were free to roam wherever they pleased, they were far from being satisfied with the fare, and that some of them expressed their dis pleasure by scattering four, corn, etc, on the ground, and tramping upon it, because they were not permitted to help themselves to everything their fancy prompted them to banker after.

 No, no; the sayages have never yet, oI their own free will, asked the Whites for peace and food, prefering war to peace, and stolen food to that which Government and people have always been ready to furnish them.

DRINKING Drinking wine Is a
habit, SO is drinking spirits, ale, cider
coffee and water. The last is thought a
necessity; but TO drink much is habit.
Some people drink little not because
their constitutions require less than Others;
it Is their habit Those people never
perspire 80 much as those who drink
more. The more that is drunk, the more
water passes away, or the system would
suffer. As it is, the strain effects it. 1he
skin, the kidneys, bowels, lungs, all are
drawn upon. The result is, as may be nat
rally expected. exhaustion. For this reason,
the man who drinks much water, Particu-
larly during the Summer and in tho hot
test weather, is less able to endure fatigue.
the water is of no benefit to hlm-that is,
the excess. 1t mast pass away, and tins
requires an effort of the system, which Is
the sweating process. Had he not used the
excess of water, he would not have per
spired so ; it would not have been there for
ii system to expel. 1t is habit to drink
ater so much false thirst is created.
We should drink only what is needed. The
habit of drinking more will soon be over
come, and the person will feel much strong
er and more capable of bearing fatigue.
In Winter, little fluid is needed beyond
what our food furnishes; in Summer some
more, but not much.

The season has come when the labor.
of the field are over, and agricultural
meetings will be held by the farmers to
compare notes and speak OF the success
and failures of the year. Among the most
encouraging signs Of the times is the
VIDE spread spirit of inquiry that pervades
the farming community. The extent that
agricultural papers are taken, the atten.
dance at agricultural conventions and
farmers clubs, gives an abundant evil
aence OF an increased desire for informa-
tlon IN the farming community. A farm.
efs club should be organized in every
town. Township clubs can be formed on
the simplest plan, with regular meetings
through the fall and winter, where the
! entire farming community can gather to
express their views, each in his own way,
and to draw out new thoughts on new sub
.lects. 1t is also an educational institution
The farmer learns to express his views
with clearness and precision, and has an
opportunity to ask from his fellow farm
ers for information upon any point that il
in any way connected with subjects that
are brought before the club for discussion.


These club meetings give US the expe-
rlence which is the most practical instruc-
tor One farmer comes to the club meet
ing to tell his mode of raising corn or to-
bacco-first upon what kind Of soil, when,
and how many times it was ploughed,
what kind of fertilizers were used; il
composted, how was it DONE Another
tells about cutting and curing hay, wheth-
er best cut early or late; what kind of top
dressing used, how and when to apply il.
Another. who Is in the dairy business,
gives his experience in feeding milch
cows, making and marketing butter. An
other, the use of agricultural implements.
etc. These practical statements Of the
experiences of some of the best farmers
in the country are of more value than all
that has been written In books.


Professor Stockbridge of the State Ag-
ricultural College in his remarks at the
late meeting of the Franklin Harvest
Club, said it was to develop and condense
what the farmers already know. and if the
faculty of this institution had at their COM
mand all the farmers knew about farming.
and if their knowledge could be put into
intelligible and available expression. it
would add greatly to the benefit of their
| instruction.


This knowledge must be brought out in
| some way, and in no way better than by
the farmers club or farmers experience
meetings" We hope to see thus early in
the season a movement among farmers to
form clubs, where none exist, in order TO
draw out more thought and stimulate eve.
ry farmer to greater actiun.

One Days Haps and Hiishaps In Patcr.


SON, N. -.


serious accident occurred about half.past two
O'Clock yesterday afternoon at the Paterson Iron
Works An immense III shaft had just been CON-
pleted for steamship at san Francisco. II is one
OF the largest ever made In Paterson, being over
seventeen tons In weight. and worth several thou-
sand dollars. TO slip this through to California
without change special car had TO be made. This
car was yesterday afternoon run upon the Junction
trestle work to receive the load and large gang OF
men proceeded TO hoist the Immense mass Oh iron
aboard with u huge crane. Ii was necessary to
raise 1t very high in order to get it over the
car, which stood upon the trestie and when
about twenty feet in the air the great crane
gave way and the whole mass came down In a gen
eral wreck with a tremendous smash The car was
considerably broken and thrown from the track
and an area OF at least thirty feet was covered
with the debris. How any OF the men escaped is n
mystery, but as IL was only three were injured.


Harmon Wicherg was buried under the wreck

John Degon had an arm broken and was other

in River street.


James Cowper was severely cut about the head.
especially under the chin, besides being bruised
about his body.

first named. All the injured are Hollanders and
poor laboring men, The Injuries OF one or two
