A while ago Shrieks went up piercingly; But now is the ship gono down ; Good ship, well-manned, was she. There's a raft that's a chance of life for one This day upon the sea. A chance for one or two: Young, strong are he and he, Just in their manhood's prime, The comelier verily For the wreetle with wind and weather and wave, In the life upon the sea. One of them has a. wife And little children three, Two that can toddle and Jisp, And a .suckling on the knee Naked they'll go and hunger soro If he bj lost at sea. One has a dream of home, A dream that well may be; He never has breathed it yet, She never has known it, she, Bnt some one will be sick at heart If he be lost at sea. "Wife, sind kids, aud home!" Wife, kids, nor home has be! "Give ns a chance, Bill!" So, All right, Jem!" Quietly A man gives up his life for a man - This day upon the sea. More of the Great Canal. The Effects Cpnn the Conntry. For more than two years past this work has, progressed quietly, unostentatiously and steadily without interruptions, with (Jpn. Churchill at the head of the exe cutive department, overseeing, examining and directing the entire operation in all its branches, each department presided over by men whom he selected for the places, foremost among whom was Mr. W. J. Murphy, one of the most practical, untiring and able of men in his line of business, hence we have said that to. these two men more and then to all others is due the success of the undertaking. The present BOAKD OF UIBECTOB3, ETC. Are: F. A. Tritle, Governor of the Territory; Gen. 0. Churchill, Col. F. C. Hatch, Gen. M. H. Sherman aud Mr. H. H. Logan, The officers are as follows: President, G. Churchill; Secre tary, H. H. Logan; Treasurer, Valley Bank, of Bhcenix; Chief Engineer, Chas. A. Marriner. Gen. Churchill, haying taken possession of the entire wprk in behalf of the company, will now proceed to organize the water symstem of the company, a labor that he has already commenced. Water will be sold to the ofcu- pants of land between the canal and the river, and water rights. also. The rates this year, Gen. Churchill has informed us, and until .the commencement of the regular letting for next year, will be one dollar per inch. The system will be an improve ment upon those now in vogue in the valley and in use by the old companies. The company win sell to land holders a perpetual right to take water within limited annual rates for specific lands, such rights be annexed to pass and with the lands but not severable from them, these water rights will be unassessable unlike the shares in theold companies, which are now assessed. By this sys tem, holders, of water rights will always, know before hand pre cisely, what their water will cost them. The lands under the new canal have- nearly all been entered un der desert land law- and, some small; tracts under the homestead and preemption laws. 'The entries underthe Desert Act can be. easily ripened into titles-now by the use of the twater of. this canal and the owners will have acquired by that meansivaluable.fi9t.ates for a nom- nal consideration muo ,, . , .,. J Inese lauds and water rights j are intrinsically worth as much as the lands of San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties inCalifonia which are sold at $100 and up wards per acre. The building and maintenance of this canal insures great pros perity to the whole of the Salt River valley and especially tha part of it lying north of the river. When fully settled up its popuhv tion will be so numerous, pros perous and strong that they will be enabled to construct branch railroads out of it to connect with competing trunk lines und defend our interests against high freights and also develop the great min eral resources of the surrounding mountains thereby creating home market for their varied and superior products. The inducements to the settler seeking a home in a mild, healthy part of the west now offered by this valley are not surpassed any part of the country. Here he can acquire the most fertile lands with a never failing water supply at low prices ranging from 8 per acre up to $20 per acre, accordin to location and improvements, These lands will produce in grear abundance nearly every grain and fruit which will grow in the mid die and southern states, or Call fornia. The fields are green and flowers bloom every month in the year. We are within twenty eight ' miles of the South ern Pacific railroad and within twelve months a railroad will traverse the valley itself. Jteduc tion works and other manufac uries will be established here, Small lines of narrow-gauge rail road at Phoenix will radiate ou ii to the Cave Creek Districl Qaijotoa, Weaver, Vulture, Mc Millan, Tonto Basin, Brodshaw and elsewhere and carry our fruits, grains and other products to 'those mining -sections and bring in return their crude ores to be i educed here with water furnished -by the new canal Paper factories to convert the raw material now going to waste by the thousands of tons upon our hills and deserts, will be erected ana by the same cheap power turned into a merchantablearticle of export, giving employment to many hands and holding the bal ance of trade in our favor keepin our money at home and bringing more in. There is probably no place in the Union where exten sive tanneries could be estah lished and operated to better ad' vantage than in this valley, and this may also be said of many other classes of industry aside from the cultivation of the soil But In this latter field there now offers the best opportunities to be found in the world.

Davidsviile, Feb. 9, 1881 An Idyl of the Farm. The farmer is husy threshing; I heard the muffled blows, And also the fellow yelling 'Who got flailed on the toes.

And out in the rnssett stubble The quail doth sweetly pipe, And upon the breakfast table The old slapjack is ripe. Financial Fallacies Exposed, The last statement or report of the Director of the Mint Is one of the strongest arguments which go to prove the falsity and absur dity of the efforts which have been made for the purpose of ren dering our silver currency unpop ular, that could have been pro duced. The claim has been persistently presented that the continued coinage of silver would result iu the exportation of our gold coin, and an influx of silver from every nation of the world expressed in statement that th 'United States would become th dumping ground for the silver of the whole commercial world." A moment's reasoning would show that silver has not yet be come so worthless that it is parted with or civen up without some Kind of an equivalent of an equal value. Consistency, however, has not been one of the chief virtues of those who have endeavored to render this currency useless. The latest rpport of the Director of the Mint shows that instead of ou gold being drawn from the treas ury, that during the past year only $1,115,000 in gold was ex ported, and during the same per od, instead of sbip-Ioads of silver from other countries being 'dumped" upon pur shores, the past year witnessed the exporta tion of $15;400,000 in silver, which cannot be taken as a very good proof of the claim which has been made. If the results predicted are to occur it is time tae evi dence of the fact was presented. Another point has been urged as" one of importance, that oursil ver currency was idle and useless, not cntenngjnto circulation, but was piled up in the Government vaults. A recent statement of the Treasury shows that more than one-fourth of our gold coinage is at present locked up in the vaults of the national banks, another ne-fourth is held in the vault of the treasury, and that probably ot over $150,000,000 in gold are in actual circulation. While of the $200,000,000 silver, the banks hold only one-fifteenth, and it is herefore reasonable to suppose that the remainder is continually being used in daily transactions of business, even in the form of certificates. Silver certificates in circulation, which are practically so raanv silver dollars in circula tion,. largely out number gold cer- ncates. This circulation h'is been secured under every possible opposition and unfavorable con- itlon, so that it may be safely ud that no more unfortunate me could have been chosen in hich to test the real value of this metal as currency, but it has for thousands of years past, not- Ithstanding the strong and de termined opposition it has been compelled to encounter, proven riumphantly its value and im portance, and established the fact hat it is a necessity as a coinage etal. and it cannot be dispensed with as a prominent factor of the J world's circulating medium.

We don't know of any portion of Arizona suffering at present from the grasshopper plague. IT it should ever reach us tha.lbi" lowing remedy contributed by Gen. John McComb, Warden of the State Prison at Folsom Cali fornia, may be brought into re quisition, He has made a trial of a recommendation of a Nebraska farmer to "take hay, straw or rubbish and dump it in forkfuls about a rod apart over the fields on the windward side. Next sprinkle from one-fourth to half a pound of sulphur on each pile, and in the evening set the sub stance on fire. About sundown, the air being sufficiently heavy to keep the smoke down close to the ground, the wind will roll it over the field. The smoke will scent everything to such an extent that grasshoppers will never come there again during the season that the sulphur is applied." Gen. McComb says: "The sulphur smoke certainly does drive of the grasshoppers, and I will at once prepare to protect the whole.of.cay farm and vineyard. I did as the Nebraska farmer directed, placed. forkfuls of strawabouta rod apart on the windward side of the field; put on each pile about a third of a pound of sulphur, and just be fore nightfall set tire to the pile. The smoke was carried over 'the field, and the grasshoppers at once disappeared." Salt as a Fertiliser. J. W. Cassidy, one of the oldest and most successful fruit growers about Pietaluma, several years since wanting to Kill some un profitable fruit trees without cutting them down, dug a little trench around the roots of each tree and poured into it about four gallons of brine as strong as salt would make it. To his utter as tonishment, after a time, instead. of killing the trees, they became invigorated, took on new life and produced an enormous crop of fruit and a heavy growth of new- wood. Prior to this application of salt brine the trees mentioned were non-productive and for this reason he wanted to destroy. them, but the trees being healthy. he had not the heart to dig them out in the usual way. He has exi perimented with salt brine in the, manner above stated for the last three years with the same good, results. This year, however, In stead of using brine he has sowed the salt broadcast among his trees, kuowing that the moist atmos phere will soon convert It into brine. Ho has sown from one- half to three-quarters of a ton to the acre. Mr. Cassidy, from hiar last three ysars' experience an-v ticipates the best of results from bis experiment. Business Misunderstandings. It is not too much lo say that very many of the misunderstand ings which arise between mer chants, and a large proportion of the suits at law which vex the business community, arise from a lack of detiniteness in giving or receiving orders. A mere order for a job of work, or,a bill of goods. or an advertisement may be all ight in some cases, hut there often arises some difficulty that auses bad feeling between the irtles, which could have been, avoided by proceeding in a busK ness.like. way. When a man builds a house he niikes carefully, written specifications as to what e wants, and If there is anything rong in the work he has some-. hing by which to correct it. If he parties to transactions would take pains to have a definite. bar gain made, the details thoroughly understood and a memorandum of them sot down In writing,, much trouble delay and expense would be avoided. Hasty bar gains, as a contemporary says; may do for politicians, but, for legitimate husiness transactions they are sadly out of place.
