If it contains too much political matter the people don't believe it. It tliu t-pe is too large, it uou t contain enough reauni matter. Jf the type is too small, the people won't read it. If we publish telepraph reports, people sav thev are lias It" we omit them, thev say we have no en terprise, qr suppress them for political effect. If we have a few jokes, people snv-wc arc a rattlehead. If we omit them, they say we are an old i fossil. If we publish original matter, they blame ; us for not giving selections. If we publish selection., men s.iy we are lazy for not writing more and give them what they have nut read in some other paper. II" we give a man a complimentary notice, we are censured for being partial. If we do not, all hands say we are a greedy hog. If we insert an article that pleases the ladies, men become jealous. If we do not cater to their wishes per is not fit to have in the house. If we attend church, the say it is effect. his pa only for If we don't, they denounce 113 as deceitful and desperately wicked. If we remain in the office and attend to business, folks say wo are too proud to min gle with our fellows. If we go out, they say we never attend to business. If we publish poetry, we afl'ect sentimen tal ism. If we do not wo have no literary or culti vated taste. If the mail docs not deliver our paper promptly, then they say we do not publish "on time." If it docs, they are afraid we are getting ahead of time. If we do not pa' all bills promptly, folks say we aro not to bo trusted. If we pa' promptly, they say we stole the monev. A good old minister of one of our New Eng land Baptist churches was agreeaply surprised by the intelligence from one of his Hock that five individuals had expressed a desire, on the next Sunday, to have the baptismal rites per formed upon themselves. After its perfor mance, only one of the five joined the society of which he was pastor. A few Sundas af ter the same worthy elder waited on him with the intelligence that ten more desired immersion. "And how many of them will join the society?" queried the minister. "Two, I regret to say, arc all that wo can depend on," was the elders reply. uVery well," said the good old man, "you may as well inform the other eight that this church doescn'ttake in washing. Boston Commercial Bulletin. Humoks of the "G EnMAN." It is inter esting to watch a girl and her lover when they dance the German. It affords them a splendid opportunity to indulge in little af fectionate ways that delicacy forbids should be public. The girl rests her head so confi dingly on the shoulder of her lover, while he clasps her close to his heart as though it was ecstacy to havp her there. They can dance longer and more frequently than an other couple, and never seem to tire. From half-past eight to half-past one is a long em brace, but they did it, and at the end of the last German declared the were not a bit tired. I have seen many Germans begun, but the conclusion never. It is said that Miss Ida Greeley firmly in formed her lover, Col. .Nicholas Smith, 'that she would see him buried forty thousand miles beyond Alaska before she would marry him unless he embraced ibe Catholic relig ion. He consented and the church has made another convert without much effort. We don't vouch for the truth of the story.

The following extracts from the opinion of t the Supreme Court of this Territory in the case of Rush and Davis vs. Linn und French, on appeal from the Third Judicial District Court, we believe will be of general interest. The whole opinion occupying as it does over a hundred pages of legal cap is too long for our columns, but we believe the most impor tant points, to the general public, are con tainedin the following extracts. The opinion was rendered by Chief Jus tice Dunne, the Hon. C. A. Tweed, Associate Justice concurring : 11 It is no fraud on anybody for a man to locate another in a mine and receive back from such person a deed to the propert', having made no misrepresentations to such ."person as to such transfer. Nobody is in jured 'by 6uch.a proceeding. The law and the customs of miners permit persons to make locations for others not present. When so made all the title, anybod can ac quire by location vests in the persons so lo cated. They cannot be divested of it ex cept by their own voluntary act, or by for feiture in not complying with the rules and regulations of the district. The title thus acquired, so far as it is a title, ia theirs to dispose of as they please. They may bar gain, sell, transfer or give it to whomsoever they like. By having been once located in the claim their right to acquire any further interest in the discovery by location is ex hausted. The fact of their non -residence is immaterial unless the contrary is expressly declared in the rules and regulations of the District. Whether the miners would have the power to disqualify a non-resident from being located is, of course, not passed upon tien, but where there is no attempt at such disqualification non-residents stand in the same position as thos present, aud it has been the polie- 6f the miners to encourage such locations rather than to louic upon them with disfavor. It causes their mining Dis trict to be known abroad and furnishes ad ditional means lor its development. "Defendants in their 6th instruction asked the (Jonrt to charge 1 that the subsequent ratification by Linn ot the location by him, gave the location the same effect as if made by himself.' Given, with the qualification added ' unless a valid loca tion by some other person had in the inter val between the location of French aud the ratification by Linn been made and perfect ed.' This is in effect saying that the title in an absent locator dops not become perfect uutilhehas knowledge of it and ratifies it. This was error. When a location is made for an absent locator, whether with or with out his knowledge, whatever rights arc given to him by such location rest in him at once, and even the person locating such ab sentee and insert another even if he do it before the absent locator has knowledge of the fact that he has been located. ("Martin vs. Solambo 26 Cal., 527.) " The Court refused to give the words in defendants' 7th instruction : ; And a loca tion made by one person for and in the name of another, vests a right in the one for wlpm the location is made which can only be di verted by his own acts or omission or by operation of law.5 This was error. (20 Cal., 527.) The Court added the words 'But some authority express or implied must ex ist or the agency must be ratified before other valid claims intervene.' This was er ror. It tended to mislead the jury. As a matter of law, there is implied authority in the very act of making the location, but it tended to impress the- jury that some other implication of authority was necessarv. No other is required. (20 Ca), 527.) "Counsel for respondents urge Hint n. mining claim is an interest in lands within the Statute of Frauds and that it cannot be created without authority in writing. The point is not fairly before us and we will dis miss it with the remark that the object of the Statute is to guard the owner of an estate in lands against any new estate in the same property being created for another out of the estate of the owner, except by opera tion of law or by his written consent. This writing is to be signed by the party creating the estate or by some one having written au thority so to do. The party who locates a mine obtains an estate therein by such an act but it is not he who creates the estate. Whatever estate he obtains he derives from some source. There is a proprietor ef the land above him. This proprietor says to the locator, do thus and so and you may have a certain estate in the mine. The locator per forms the act and obtains the estate, but it is the p'roprietor who creates the estate in him. If another person places a notice on the claim, that other person does not there by create an estate for anybody. He has no estate in the premises out of which he can create an estate for another. He is merely performing the acts which are a condition precedent to the creation of an estate in the premises by the real propiietor. It is only after the estate comes into being in the locator that the Statute of Frauds as to his acts in creating estates in the premises for others applies. The Court, in refusing plaintiffs' instructions on this point ruled correctly. ' The Sth instruction of defendants, which was refused by the Court, was as follows : 'The law makes the discoverer of a mine tlie agent for those for whom he chooses to act regardless of the fact whether the patty for whose benefit the location is made has any knowledge of it or not. In such cases how ever the agent making such location has no power afterwards to make anv change in the same, so as to atiect injuriously the rights of the party for whose benehfthe location was made. A failuro to pojiply with the local rules or customs of the District will not work a forfeiture unless such failure is de clared by such rules or customs to be a for feiture.' This instruction is obnoxious to criticism in this, that it contains two distinct legal propositions relating to entirely differ ent questions. Still, it stated the law cor rectly as to all cases arising before May 10th, 1872, of which this was one, and it was error to refuse it. The Territorial law declaring forfeitures for non-compliance with its re quirements was repealed in 1S66, and no other law declaring forfeitures was enacted until the United States' Act of May 10th, 1872. As to cases arising since May 10th, 1872, the latter portion of the instruction as to forfeiture would require modification, but it was correct as affecting cases arising be tween 1866 and 1872. The following was given as an instruction, by the Court t If the location of the miais; claim . in question was made in the name of Linn by Morelatul and French, or either of them for-i the purpose of having Liun convey to them tne wnoie or anv pnrr. 01 sam mining uiaim Wiiuotu luriuer consiuenwon, .unreianu auu French having already located 200 feeten-h on the same lode, the location was absolute ly void, as made in fraud and evasion of the law.' 1st. There was nothing in the evidence on which to raise any presumption that French or Moreland had located the premises with such expectation, and the instruction was therefore irrelevant. It was likely to mis lead the iurv to the prejudice of defendant,, because it said to them, in effect, that there was such a question involved which they should pxss upon, and therefore the giving of it was error. 2d. Even if the evidence had left it an open question whether French and Moreland bad an expectation of getting thexground deeded to them without consideration: that is, getting a deed of gift of the premises, and had made the location for that purpose, it ! was error to instruct that t-uch location ! would therefore be absolutely void. The 1 location put me uus m 1.11111 iu uiapi.se ui , as he pleased. Even if the parties locatiDg him had expected he would deed bacK to them for nothing, and made the location because of that hope and belief. Linn might have been ignorant of such intention and expectation, and might have declined to gratify it. His title depended upon the fact of location, not on the intention the parties locating him might have had in their own minds at the time. A person locating for an absentee in the hope that the latter will give away the right thus secured for him, takes his chances as to whether he will give it away or not, and as to whom he will jive it if he gives it at all. In case a located per son knew in advance that the object of tiding his name was to enable the person using it to hold more feet on the lead than he could acquire by location under the laws, and con sented to sueh use of his name for that pur pose, the question as to whether such ar rangement between the parties would be a fraud sufficient to vitiate the location, is not before us. If the verdict of the jury wa based on the theory that the evidence did not show authority for the location, it should be set aside, because no proof of authority was necessary. The now trial should have been granted. Judgment reversed aud new trial ordered." GOV. ST.ANFORO ON ARIZONA RAILROADS. A Chronicle reporter has elicited the fol lowing from the great Railroad King of the Pacific Coast : Reporter When will you reach the Colo rado ? Mi'. Stanford In fifteen months from to day we shall water our engines at that river. We shall then have secured the Arizona trade, and the San Francisco merchant will then begin to appreciate what we are doing. The Arizona trade will, when developed, rival that of Nevada, and Nevada is now San Francisco's best customer. Reporter Do you intend to rest at Fort Yuma? Mr. Stanford Certainly not, our second objective point is the banks of the Rio Grande. From the Colorado to the Rio Grande is4S0 miles; the road passes through Southern Arizona and New Mexico, skirts the States of Sonora and Chihuahua the richest mineral States in the world, and all of them abounding in the best of agricultu ral and grazing lands. The Mexican govern ment has already gianted a franchise from its Capital to the northern boundary of Chi huahua. Another charter is conceded and the work commenced from the port of Guy mas to tlie northern part of Sonora. The distance from the City of Mexico to San Francisco is 2,000 miles". Reporter Is there no danger, Governor, that Guaymns may become an important rival to San Francir-co ? Mr. Stanford Quay mas is an excellent harbor, and the country back of it is favora ble to railroad construction. It did threaten San Francisco, but that danger is passed. Our road going in to the cast of it, will take the trade that with earlier railroad facilities would have gone to G nay mas. I do not doubt that the great bulk of the tradeof the valley of Mexico may be diverted to San Francisco when this system of roads shall be carried out. APACHE MOJAVES. The following sketch is from the note book of a Clerk in Gen. Crook's office during his Arizona campaign. We shall from time to time make other selections from the same source. This information is obtained from the Apaches and Apache Mojnves on the Verde reservation ; "These Indians apparently have no idea of their origin, their custom of never mention ing the dead being fatal to tradition. The Apache Mojaves came, a few genera tions back, from the Mojaves. The Apache Y tunas are mainly half-breed Yumaa r.nd Chimhuevas or Yuum and Mo javes. Lne Apaches belong to the extensive Apache tribes of Eastern Arizona and New Mexico. The so-called Tontns arc mainly half-breed Apaches nnd Apache-Mojaves. As a ruin they speak both languages, and style them selves cither Apaches or Apache-Mojaves as the humor strikes them. On this reserve some are classed among the Apaches, but the greater number among the Apache-Mojaves. They partake of the peculiarities f character and features of both tribes, and generally speak both languages, though in correctly. They were first called Tontos by the White-.Mountain Apaches, on account of their childish manner of talking the lan guage. In physical development they are better than the Apaches, but inferior to the Apache-Mojaves. Almost all the San Car los Indians belong to this class. A band of Tontos is now on this Reserva tion who were rated as Apaches at San Car los a few months ago. They surrendered here as Apaphe-Mojaves, and are under con trol of the Apache-Mojave Chief. The greater part of the depredations com mitted in Northern Arizona have been the work of these Tontos, other tribes often be ing credited with it. The people of Toulouse must be a hard set a writer speasmg 0t too citv says : "It is a large town contatoiDg 60,000 inhabitants duiis entirely 01 oriCJc. " I j Distinguished Croaker. To W. M. Evarts is credited the expression, "I do not think there are urx hundred men in this coun- try who realize Dow near we are to a com pletejchanee in the form of our Goverraent." This parajrrph is being rery extensively copied and commented upon, especially by. Democratic journals, whose editors have been predicting national disaster ever since the surrender of Lee. What does Mr. EvartF, more than any other man of intelligence, know of the thoughts and purposes of the people of the Republic ? Yet the doleful remark credi ted to him i commented upon as the solemn . augury of an inspired prophet. It is entitled to jut about a much consideration as the homing ofan owl or the croaking of a bull- frog. ,Mr. Evarts knows little or nothing of the masses of the American people.' He is neither in accord with their patriotism nor in sympathy with their hopes. Living in a hot bed of crime and communism, his ears filled wlth'qries of desperate poverty, he measures - the nation by his suirouiiuings, and imagines the turbulent beatings of the surf at his door to be the expiring fury of a storm which is shaking a continent. All is calm on the treat ucean. iz is around mm aiono that there is menace or evil, people as thev If be would see the American are, and learn sometbin;; of their patriotism and manhood, Mr. Evarts must walk beyond the gates of tho great cities. He must go among those who own the lands they till, and where school hr.cses are more plentiful than beer cellars. He must talk with the independent n.eehanics and soil owners of the land the men who control the destinies of the Government despite the corruption of the great cities and he will find that the men who, like himself, are prophets of anarchy, receive their inspiration from foul sources, or croak of disaster because they would welcome rain. Men who have as Utile faith as has Mr. Evarts in tho patriotism of theAmerican people and the sta bility of republican government are unsafe counsellors. Virginia K.nterprwe. ' Since compulsory education has beenarlopt ed in sever.d States, its history and adoption in other countries become matters of interest. Germany adopted it after being crushed in the Napoleonic wars in 1819 a rule was adopt ed which compelled every child between sev en and fourteen to attend school regularly More recently six and seventeen have been settled on as the years between which chil dren must be scholars. Fitche said, and ho proved to be i true prophet, that after the first gene.it ion there would be n difficulty" in getting parents to bend their children to school. Jules ai mon, late Minister of Public Instruction in France, wrote: "Prussia, with obligatory iustructl-vi has conquered igorancc, a victory from which wean sepi ated, after thirty years efforts, by 000,000 children ignorant and neglected." France spends much upon education, but it is not compulsory and her people are ignorant. Sax ony spends less upon education than Bljnutri, yet the Saxons are better educated than tho Belgians, because in Saxony attendance upon school is compuNory, while in Belgium it i. not. In New York city, before the compul sory law took effect, there were 210,000 reg istered scholars and less than 125,000 regular attendants. These facts and figures prove most conclusively that the compulsory educa tion laws would be of the greatest benefit to every part of the United States, but espccially in the great cities. Indeed they are the only practicable preventives against the rapid in crease in the number of juvenile criminals.

Ho man can afford to be anything buta true man, living in his higher nature, aud acting from the noblest considerations. Bn a Man. Foolish spending is the father of iwvcrty. Do not be ashamed of work. Work for the wages you can get, but work for half price rather than be idle. Be your ' own master, and do not let.fahion or society swallow up your individuality hat, coat, and boots. Compel your selfish body to spare fomething for profits saved. See "that you aro proud.

Be too proud to be lazy; too proud to give up without conquering every difficulty; too proud to wear a coat;, ou cannot afford to buy; too proud to be in company you cannot kees up with in expenses; too proud to He, or steal, or cheat; too proud to bo stingy.
