CONSTABLE MILLER talks of resigning his several official positions in town and accepting of some one at the Grant Agency he thinks to teach the Apaches what he several times taught him what they know about burning stations snd murdering the inmates and robbing generally, and him in particular. About two years ago, he was comfortably located at Cienega Station, but the Apache depredations there were so frequent and disastrous that to save his life and family he abandoned the place for safety in town.

DURING the stay of Department Inspec- tor Major Brown in this part of Arizona, he exhibited such interest and prompt action in affording protection to the ex- posed settlers, that he won compliments on all sides. To afford him little diver sion and as mark of respect, dancing party was given at the Governors mansion last Saturday evening. It was intended to have it the previous evening, but the glorious rain was too heavy, and hence deferred. The attendance was general and the enjoyment likewise. All the par ticipants, so far as we could see or learn, were loud in their praises of the occasion, and wondered why the same kind were not more frequent.

people L represent IN the state
of Louisiana are deprived of
their just and legal rights. Con-
gress has solicited our information
upon this subject, and I am deter
mined, SO far as I am personally
concerned, to lead the representa-
tives of the nation into no error as
to whether our people desire it or
not. New, why did it receive only
four votes? Because, in the judgment
of a majority of the Republicans
present, it was regarded as an
inopportune time to bring it up. 1
think Mr.. Sumner erred when he
attempted to attach it to the amnesty
bill, as there was marked difference
between them-one requiring two
thirds vote, while the other, in which
we are directly interested, only re-
quired majority to pass it. 1t was
one of those errors which are often
committed by earnest zealots like
MIR. Sumner. He has been battling
for many long, weary years for the
accomplishment of the object sought
to be attained in that bill. He
commenced his great work of
philanthropy when our people were
chained in slavery; he was one of
the pioneers in the old Anti-Slavery
Society at the North, and fought
his intellectual and moral fight for
twenty-five or thirty years, until he
succeeded in striking the shackles
from the limbs of my people and
placing into their eager, grateful
hands the elective franchise. If the
Republican party does not intend
to 60 back upon us here, this con-
current resolution will receive the
support of every Republican Sen
ator present. I am astonished
that the Senator from Claiborne
Mr.. Blacknan). who has so often
testified his willingness to accord
to the colored people all their legal
rights, should endeavor to stop the
progress of this resolution by tech
nical objections, in order that he
may escape the responsibility of
voting upon it. The result to be
attained by this measure is ques-
ton in which every black man in the
State is deeply interested. 1t pro-
poses to save us from the humilia-
tion shams when we pay the same
fare that the gentleman from
Claiborne Mr.. Blackman) would
pay on a public carrier-of being
placed in the filthiest and most
disagreeable part Of the steamer or
train-forcing our wives into the
company of dirty, contemplate
blackguards, while he and his wife
are enjoying the best cabin or car.
1t proposes, also, to permit the gen.
tleman to associate with any colored
man he wishes without laying him
self liable to the ostracism of his
own race. In conclusion, I will
state, Mr.Preident, that if the gen.
tleman is yet in doubt as to the
meaning or contents of the civil
rights bill of Mr.. Sumner, I am
perfectly willing to allow him
reasonable time to examine it.

The American Builder gives the follow
ing simple directions for making sand
paper, which will be both interesting
and useful for the woodworker. Sand
paper forms one Of the most important
items of expense with the carpenter
who has any fine work to do; and since,
IS rule, he buys instead OF manufac.
turing this material, knowledge of the
means by which he can produce sand
paper Of q superior quality, at almost a
nominal cost, must prove of value. The
device for making it is simple and at
hand TO any one who has occasion to
use the paper. A quantity of ordinary
window glass is taken-that having a
green color is said to be the best-and
pounded fine, after which it is poured
through one or more sleeves OF different
degrees of fineness, to secure the glass
for coarse or fine paper. Tken any
tough paper is covered evenly with glue
having about one-third more water than
is generally employed for wood work.
The glass is sifted upon the paper; al
low day or two in which to become
fixed in the glue, when the refuse glass
is shaken of, and the paper is fit for
use. This sand-paper costs little, and
is better than that ordinarily bought, in
which sand is frequently mingled with
the glass. The suggestion here made is
certainly worthy of note.

Some bag them and whitewash the
bags, which is troublesome and some
what expensive; some cover them with
dry wood ashes and pack them in bar
rels; some pack them in barrels and
cover thoroughly with pine shavings /;
but the best plan of all, and certainly
the least expensive with all who have a
smoke.house, and every farmer should
have good one, is to keep the hams
hung up in the smoke.house, which
should be kept perfectly dark at all times.
Hams so kept, two years old, were
among the best we ever tasted. Uni

Throughout Westchester county the torrid heat
which prevailed did not deter the inhabitants from
enthusiastically celebrating the anniversary OF
Independence Day. The morning trains on the
Hudson River and Harlem railroads carried large
masses Of perspiring and apparently halfsufocated
humanity from the densely populated districts Of

beer, they managed to pass the sultry hours In
parative co0lness. Among the juvenile pOr-

The New York Herald, when Bennett
first started it, was not much larger
than a sheet of latter paper, but it gave
much light, minute and cheerful news.
1t was full of short paragraphs, printed
in small type, and was an eminently
salable article. 1t sold well from the
first day, but still Bennett had at first a
terrible time. The extreme cheapness
of the paper rendered him absolutely
dependent upon its advertisers, and yet
he dared not charge them more than
fifty cents for square of sixteen lines.
So he had to cut down the expenses to
minimum. He did everything himself
He swept out his cellar, he carried the
paper to the few subscribers it possessed
in the morning, he wrote the editorials,
the news, the criticisms. He did the
reporting and the bookkeeping all, in
fact, that was done. He sat behind his
barrels and his plank, placidly writing,
and when any one came for paper, he
never looked up, but just said, "put
the money on the counter and take one. "
His working day was sixteen hours. In
the morning, from five to eight, he
wrote editorials in his bedroom. During
the business hours he was in the cellar,
engaged in the ordinary routine of edi-
torial work. About l o'clock, having
provided abundant copy for the com.
positors, he sailed forth into Wall
street to compile stock-tables, and to
get matter for spicy paragraphs. From
four to six he was in his Office again,
winding up the business of the day. In
the evening he was abroad-at the thea
tiers, or concert, ball, or public meeting,
which were faithfully written up and
handed to the printers before he went
to bed. He thus, like Atlas, bore the
whole weight of his world upon his own
shoulders.

We have but little to add to the re.
marks in our last issue on the crop pros
pect. The weather has been clear and
warm, with daily showers, and from
every direction we receive favorable
crop accounts. In fact, the entire
aspect OF the cotton growing region is
cheering. The second planting, never
theless, is undoubtedly behind hand,
and coming forward at least week later
than last year, it will be more exposed
to worms and grass. On the other hand,
the first planting is luxuriant and pro-
missing, with many fields in bloom and
bolls making, and indications are that
there will be an increase in the product
from hands having been transferred
from rich lands to poor, and from some
increase in white, although little or
none in negro labor. There will also
be an average increase in acreage of not
less than III per cent.-NcW Orleans
