The Orion Era, of the 19th inst,, Js doing the. crazy quilt business not only in its make-up and gener al groggy appearance, but in its assertions and prognostications. Its fantastic shapes and colors are specific in nothing but inconsist ences and are clear in everything but facts. What the writer in the Orion Era means by beating about the bush in pursuit of some one idea or thought, to sustain himself and his paper, as the organ of the ''Herald" Mormon church, is be yond comprehension. What is this legal luminary, that only pants to get before a full bench of the su preme court of the United States ' to ventilate his great legal power, trying to get through himself? Herald Mormons are members of the self-styled Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, who ited polvgamy as part of their Ipursuance thereof are rigst the ignorant of and lying to the people abroad in the recital of the condi tion of the saints here. Herald Mormons are those who are governed by, and rely upon the false and iniquitous teachings of the arrogant twelve apostles and of the multitudinous bishops who represent the polygamous church. Herald Mormons are those who will be duped by the scoundrels who claim to be especially desig nated, by the King of Heaven, to receive his revelations concerning the spiritual and temporal things of this world. . Herald Mormons are all such people as the editor of the Orion Era, who will deny that they are speaking for the gulled followers of the eminent frauds, or the priests who gulled them ; who falsely claim independence of the church and speak solely their own sentiments. Herald Mormons are those who were led into the Mountain Meadow innocent and- way-worn Skilled Dr. Rob- W City, having t first beguiled-nfiBlrpm his room on what ho believed to be a mission of mercy. Herald Mormons are those who ,deny the truth, commit perjury, are .carried asvay with lust, deny their connection with the church, for the purpose of deceit. Herald Mqrrnoftisrn will rob the poorof his last pittance, that the tithing house and yards may groan with the result of the labprars sweat There is a better day coming for the Mormon masses, they will them selves sweep from their midst jth.e moral lepers that would defile their children p.nd fill the laud with a .degenerate race. Theold Mormon Brigham Young tree is growing ."hollow at the butt" and must go to decay ; the world cannot afford to nurish it longer. Its worthless ness is so fully exposed that it must soon pass- away and- die the death of all frauds. The Daily Times., it recent ad ditipn to the journalistic world, published at Tucson in this terri tory, is a daily visitor to our office. The paper is tersely edited, neatly printed, and b.est of all has taken a solid stand against that giant curse of the nineteenth century- polygamous Mormonism.

The intense heat is still making travelers howl. Albuquerque folks continue to rely on a special providence to make them appear unto others as they want to appear unto them selves. Tom. Hughes, of the Journal, besides being an active worker among the Dashaways, has just" ,got religion," and is now bleating of "whitened sepulchres," and sich. The European hotel catches all the late arrivals the result of its splendid location and excellent care of guests. Everitt is leading the trade in time watches and clocks. See his advertisement. George Lail, the ex-railroad con tractor, has taken a contract to fill the county of Bernalillo, and all the inhabitants thereof, with home brewed. The way his mill is now running, we guess he'll fetch it. Dixon, Albright (of the Demo crat) and Tom. Hughes, journalis tic triplets of Albuquerque, are all mad because President Cleveland don't love them. Zeiger's new brick, on the old Metropolitan corner, is going to be like the first beau of a sixteen year old just a little too lovely. COOLIDGE, The little, town on the Atlantic & Pacific, that has seen many changes in fortune since it came into ex istence a few years ago, is once more poking its nose into the af- fairs of trade, and is trying to get a whiff of the future current of j commerce.' Mal-adventures have macle her nervous, and "easy, good lord, my wife is-afraid of thunder," is still her motto. However, Coolidge gives prom ise of -prominence ; new locations are being made by settlers in the county that will draw their sup plies from its trade, and the rail road company keeps quite a strong force at this point. It is the break fast and supper station for all pas senger trains, and the great hall where meals are served is fitted up with most exquisit good taste, and the growing popularity of the route is due, in a great measure, to the admirable administration at all the company's eating station's. Who is the directing genius that fills this most important office, provides so sumptuoush7 for the palates and the necessities of the wayfarer? It is not Pache, the Pacific pioneer wonder, nor Del monico, of world-wide fame; not Martinez, or the Maison Doree nor hints from grand old Sam. Ward; these bon vivants and champions of the royal cuisine have all passed the azure portals away in the "ewigkeit," where it is hoped they are feasting at the Master's table, partaking their manna untainted and unpoluted by mortal hands. "Tis none of these, but of their peer in every require ment of the situation, Miss E. S. Fletcher, and to her is gratefully awarded this well deserved tribute by all whom she serves so well. GALLUP Has a boom, one that has come to sta3r. It is only necessary to view the town from the train to get at this tact. New buildings of the most substantial character are in progress, or have just been com pleted, old ones are being refitted and put in good order, the main street is filled with people intent, to all appearances, on business or labor of some kind, vast coal trains are running daily with the product of her mines, and the expressive countenances of her trades people indicate a satisfactory business. Galop along, pet. MANUELITO Gets its name from a. gr.eat chief of the Navajo nation. It is th& start ing point on the lirj.e of the road for the Navajo Indian agency, at old For Defiance, and the camps of several well-to-do st.ockmen in the nortj) country. It contains a good depot building in charge of an agent pf refined tastes, every thing about him and his premises being always in appreciative good order. . - . . passengers in transit is the univer sal presence of the Indians with their squaws, babies and ponies; for tramps, the saloon; and for the tired traveler from the moun tains, that it is a railroad station. NAVAJO, Two hundred and thirteen miles west from Albuquerque, in Apache countv, Arizona, is a station of some considerable importance. It is the railroad supply point for a large extent of country to the north and south. In the north rich ranges extend as far as the Moqui reservation; to the south, the main road for transportation of merchandise leads to St. J ohns, the county seat of Apache county ; to Springerville. and all their depen dencies not less than eight thous and people, receive their letters and newspapers by the tri-weekly line that takes the United States mail from this place. Navajo has one mercantile es tablishment, which carries a good stock of goods and is sustained by the liberal custom of travelers and settlers in the district. Mr. Lewis Lynch, the proprietor, has built for the comfort of himself and several members of his family a. comfort able dwelling; erected all neces sary buildings, stables, corral, etc., and is prepared to take care of such persons whose business may require them to tarry for the time. Mr. Lynch is ably assisted by his brother, Hugh, and together they deserve the patronage and thanks of the traveling public. I. J. SHARECK, MANUFACTURING JEWELER Albuquerque, N. M.

The Land Grant of this Company, in alternate sections extends entirely across the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, between the 34th and 36th degrees of north latitude. It is 650 miles long and 80 miles wide and includes some of the best grazing lands of both Territories. In the valleys are many desirable tracts of agricultural land, sus ceptible of irrigation. A sufficiency of water has been found wherever cattle and sheep have been grazed, and large herds have been grazed in the country ever since the coming of the Mexicans. Wells have been sunk and good water has been obtained. A stream of tunning water, the San Jose, rises near the summit of the Sicrre Madre, and runs 75 miles eastward to the Rio Puerco, and the compa ny's road follows the whole length of its valley. 1 here are numerous fine valleys opening into the valley of the San Jose, flanked by grassy and woo ded hills, upon which there is an open growth of small cedar and pinon. There is an ci nsivebelt of good pine timber on the mountains, near the railroad, and good springs are found on both slopes oftheSierrc Madre. There is a large coal field west of Fort Wingate which has been fully ex plored, and which will afford labor for a large pop ulation, there are also coal deposits on the eastern slope of the Sierra Madre. Many varieties of buil ding stone are found in great abundance along the line of the road. In Arizona the crazing areas are supplied wtih I good water, and the United States Surveyors, who I maaet surveys ot tne country, say they are as good, if nobbetter, than those of Wyoming and Montana.

CHAFFEE, Agent, the slopes of the San Francisco mountains. On these mountains there is an extensive timber belt, diversified by beautiful valleys and parks, with good water and wonderful canons throuhg which the road passes. In fact, the whole of the country traversed by the road is very picturesque and beautiful, and many towns are .being built along its route. The Valley of the Rio Grande, at Albuquerqe is5,ooo feet above the sea, and the passes of the Sierra Madre and the San Francisco mountains, in Arizona, have elevations of 7,300, witha depres sion at Winsjow, on the Little Colorado, where the altitude is 5,000 feet ; the climate is mild and saiubrous. Cattle and sheep graze throughout the year and do not need to be sheltered or grain fed during the winter. The nights are cool during the summer. The Company is now prepared to make sales of its grazing lands in quantities of 50,000 acres or more, at prices ranging from one dollar (or even less for larger quantities,) to one dollar and a half an acre, upon payment of one-fourth the purchase value at date of contract of sale, the remainder in payments as may be agreed upon, bearing six per cent interest ; and irrigable agri cultural lands in tracts of forty acres or more. The belt of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Land Grant includes the only available grazing land in the country south ofthe Missouri River that can be purchased in large areas ; and the section of country through whieh this road passes will become the best beef producing region ol the United States. Maps ofthe Land Grant will be forwarded on application and properly acredited persons desire ing to inspect grazing lands, with a view to pur chase and extablish stock ranches, will be gvien facilities for that purpose.
