/ OLD Santo, who made so good an inn pression upon Gen. Howard at Grant when the peace was made, and who was subse- quently taken by him to Washington to see the Great Father, has put on the war paint and again taken the war-path We saw and heard the old villain at the Grant peace; he brought the stone into the ring and declared that the peace should be as enduring as that stone. He talked God, until one not accustomed to Indian cun- ming and treachery, would have supposed that he was an agent from the Most High. He played his game we'll. He went to Washington, was presented with a beauti

 ful revolver, horse, saddle and bridle. He and his tribe have been supported in Nindolence, not even deigning to do days work on an irrigating ditch which the gov ernment is now constructing by citizen la-

 Dor solely for their benefit. Now we insist that the time for this baby work has passed. Let Gen. Crook now whip these Indians uuII Iuey sue TOT peace, ana when they return again, compel them to dig their own irrigating ditches, and by the sweat of the brow earn their own living. This is but justice to the taxpayers of the coun- try, and we ask in the name of common sense for the press and honest men every where to join us and see to it that this policy of feeding unrepentant lazy sava- ges, without the least effort on their part to assist themselves, ceases.

THE question of adopting the cur rency of the nation as basis of trade in California is being agitated quite extensively throughout that State. It was Q selfish, unpatriotic action not to have done so at the start, and one at the time that impaired the credit of the government, but the re- public survived 1t, and the wrong like most wrongs comes back to punish the perpetrators. It is a matter now of indifference to the government whether California wants its rags or not. and other States and Territories preferring to deal with neighbors using a congenial currency, California is fast being left alone in her glory, with the proud boast of possessing vast tracts of unoccupied land that people from other States will not buy, for the reason that they must reduce their capital at least one tenth to get it into the kind of money Californians want. When merchants living in currency States and Territories pur- chase goods, they never know how much money it will require of the kind they receive for the goods, to pay for them in the kind that Cali fornia exacts, until the payment is actually made. Hence, we of Arizona find it far safer and more convenient to deal with New York, and the trade of Arizona is fast drifting in that di- rection.

How TO MAKEA MUSTARD PLAs-
rER.-How many people are
there who really know how to
make mustard plaster Not
one in a hundred, at the most;
perhaps, and yet mustard plas-
ter are used In every family, and
physicians prescribe their appli-
cation, never telling anybody
how to make them, for the simple
reason that the doctors do not
know. as a rule. The ordinary
way is to mix the mustard with
water, tempering it with a little
flour, but such plaster as that
makes is simply abominable.


Before it has half done its
work it begins to blister the pa
tient, and leaves him finally with
a painful. flayed spot, after hav.
ing produced far less effect in q
beneficial way than was intended


Now a mustard plaster should
meUer make a blister at all. If a
blister is wanted, there are other
plasters far better than mustard
for the purpose. When you
make a mustard plaster, then, use
no water whatever, but mix the
mustard with the white of an egg,
and the result will be a plaster
that will "draw" perfectly, but
will not produce a blister even
upon the skin of an infant, no
matter how long it is allowed to
remain upon the part. For this
we have the word of an old and
eminent physician, as we'll as our
own experience.

Careless maiden, careless smiling,
Tossing back thy sunny hair;
Guileless thou though all beguiling,
Scarcely conscious thou art fair.
Playful words with music ringing,
Lightly falling from thy tongue
Snatches Of old minstrels singing,
Telling that the heart is young.
Flashing now thy radiant eyes,
Liquid with the light Of youth;
Stealing g!aduess from the skies
Only known to souls Of truth.
Maiden, on thy heart hereafter,
Win holier spell be wrought;
That shall mellow down thy laughter
Deepen ever Utmost thought.
Then sspell shall be around thee,
Love thy spirit will cont,
Yet rejoice when it hath bound thee !;
For twill be to thee q soul.

Two men fought a duel. Let
US distinguish them by the names
of A and B respectively. Itwas a
real, bona fde, powder-and- ball
affair. A meant business so
did B.


It was q terrible encounter.


A had all the local part of his
jaw shot of, and several useful
portions of his epiglottis carried
away. Totally untitled for his
business as auctioneer, he died
some years after of dyspepsia Of
the brain.


B parted company with his
left arm, 50 he was compelled t"
pass himself off as a disabled
hero of the rebellion and accept
a snug little office in the United
States custom-housc, where there
was nothing whatever to do.


That is all.


The dispute grew out of some-
thing A had said. about B. u
said A said that B said something
and B said he hadn't said It.

We find in late number OF the 1Mcfi-
can Agricu'turalist,i a paragraph which
brings out SO clearly what we conceive to
be the ground Of difference between the
adaptability of the various breeds of sheep
to the wants of the farmers, that we reprint
it: ts5- boa


My own opinion is, that farmer who
has been accustomed to Merino sheep, and
who docs not expect to raise more than rs
lambs from 100 ewes, had better have noih-
ing to do with Cotswold, Leicester or South
down sheep. The poorest Mcrino sheep
he can find, provided they are healthy, will
be best adapted to his mode of treatment.
When he is prepared to give better feed
and more care, he should get some improv-
ed Merinos; and if he keeps on improving
in his general system of management he
will in time be prepared to keep still still
more artificial breed of sheep, and will at
length succeed with Cotswolds or Licesters.
Whether it will pay to keep sheep that re-
quire so much more care and better feed
viii depend entirely, on the demand for
mutton, lambs, etc. HESSsuFs .SI


Some of the COtswOld breeders are disposed
to expel me from the party for entertain
ing such n0tiOns-Or rather for publishing
them. i am not afraid of the truth hurting
this splendid breed of sheep. To me it is
encouraging rather than otherwise that
these high-bred sheep are not adapted to
''roughing it' on the cheap lands and vast
prairies and plains and mOuntain-sidesz of
the far West. If such was the case, the
best thing we could do would be to pull up
stakes and take our flocks out there. But
depend upon it that Merino sheep will do
better in such sections. Our Merino wool
will be raised on these cheap lands, and the
long combing wool, good mutton and early
lambs viii be raised in the better farmed
and more highly cultivated parts of the
country, In fact, I do not see how those
of US who live in the older settled wheat
growing sections of the country can keep
up the fertility of our farms without keep
ing more stock. And we have to decide
between dairying,s or beef, pork or sheep
growing. I think we shall feel the compe-
ton from The West in the production of
pork, beef and fine wool, for some years,
more than in carly lambs, good mutton,
and combing WOOL? To raise the latter to
the best advantage, we need clean, dry,
highly cultivated land-or precisely what
is needed to produce renumeratiye crops of
winter wheat. The more mutton we pro-
duce the more wheat shall we grow per
acre."

ted after the original and genuine entry.
As the marriage took place March 9th OF
that year, of course the birth would have
been Legitimate if it had occurred as stat.
ed by the after insertion. The fraud
seemed to be perfectly clear; so clear,in
deed, that the legal advisers or the bar.
onot in possession prefer to rest their de-
fence upon the statute of limitations.
Without attempting, so far as yet appears,
to deny the legitimacy, or the fact that
old Sir Frederick perpetrated fraud to
impose his eldest son u on the title and
estates they claim that the present pos.
SCISSOR was not party to it, and having
been in pcaceable possession for longer
period than twenty years, is entitled by
the statute Of limitations to retain it. The
answer to this is that the plaintiff, having
been absent from England the greater
part Of his life, had no means Of discover
ing the fraud. The case is well calculat.
ed to create stir in fashionable circles,
and pretty general sympathy seems to
exist on behalf Of the uncle claimant.
The law Of England undoubtedly is that
