Pretty and pale and tired
She sits in hor stiff-backed chair,
While the blazing summer sun
Shines in on her soft brown hair,
And the tiny brook without,
That she hears through the open door,
Mocks with its murmur cool '
Hard bench and dusty floor.
It seems such an endless round
Grammar and A, B, C;
The blackboard and the sums;
The stupid geography;
When from teacher to little Jem
Not one of them cares a straw.
Whether "John" Is In any "case,"
Or Kansas In Omaha.
But Jemmy's bare brown feet
Are aching to wado In the stream.
Where the trout to his luring halt
Shall leap with n quick bright gloam;
And his teacher's biuo eyes stray
To the flowers on the desk hard by.
Till her thoughts have followed her eyes
With ft half-unconscious sigh.
Her heart outruns tho clock.
Ah she smells their faint sweet scent;
But when have time and heart
Their measure in unison blont?
For time will haste or lag,
I.lko your shadow on the grass,
That lingers far behind.
Or flies when you fain would pass.
Have patience, restless Jem,
Tho stream and tho flsli will wait;
And patience, tired blue eyes
Down the winding road by tho gate,
Under tho willow shade.
Stands somo one with fresher flowers;
So turn to your books again,
And keep love for tho after hours.

are all right. Give us a little time. I
deeply deplore the loss of Custer, his

I will keep in constant communication

Florence, July 13, 187G,
Times are quite lively hero; in fad
for its size, Florence is the livlicst
place in the Territory. There arc sev
eral new buildings being erected at
present and others in prospective. It
is amusing to hear the fabulous prices
at which some lots arc held here, espe
cially those near tho center of the
town ; although they cost most of the
presenj owners little or nothing, being
situated mostly on school land.
The" peoplehere aro "marnly"bf"uic
go-a-head kind, and Pinal county in a
few years will be the rickest in the
Territory and leave old inotker Pima
far behind, who will, like any other
old mother, admire the grand propor
tions to wkick one of ker spare ribs
kas grown, and remembering Unit ske
was once queen of tke Territory, will
probably exclaim musingly to her own
mind: "Sic Sempre Transit, Gloria
Mundi" or words to that effect.
You can see little groups of miners
on every corner in earnest discussion
of the merits of their rcspectivamines,
each, to substantiate his assertion, pro.
ducing from Uie depUis of his rear
pocket, his well-worn average speci
men of horn silver, averaging from
?10,000 to $30,000 per ton; all under
that being considered low-grade ore.
The wonder of tke 19tk century in
the shape of Munllo & Rodriguez' cir
cus, with a lull stock oi heroic per
formers, including the celebrated En
lish brothers, (born in Missouri) and a
first-class rattlesnake charmer; they
are doing well here. Anything for a
change.
Grain is being delivered every day
from the surrounding ranches, al
though there is but a small portion of
the crops that has been threshed as
yet, owing to the steam Uireshcr being
absent at work on Salt river. The con
tract being finished, it has now return-
night and this morning, causing some
damage to several farmers who had
their grain spread out, threshing with
animals. Should the rain continue,
there will be considerable loss, as the
grain cannot be cleaned while damp.
The Pima Indians are becoming
quite civilized, there being one now
confined here in jail for stealing stock
from anotker Indian. He was caught
and brought here securely tied and de
livered to the authorities by tke Ind
ians tkcmselves regular "ilclicau"
fashion.
The new ditch company arc now
taking out a large ditch, beginning at
Hound Valley, about eight miles above
here; the. company hope to have it
.completed this Fall, in time for the
sowing of grain. There are several
miles, after they get near the surface
ol the ground, where the work will be
quite easy, as the ditch will follow in
the bed of one of the old Aztec canals.
"With that ditch in operation, there
will be a never-failing supply of water,

A dispatch from 3Ir. Sweeney of dale
lGth, says that he just had a talk with
the Chiricahuas and tbe result was en
tirely satisfactory. Agent Clum says
he has not the least fear regarding the
conduct of the Chiricahuas at San
Carlos.
3Ir. Swcncey's dispatch says an Ind
ian chief named Qua-ta-chea-ko who
left the reservation last WinteF without
permission and for whose peaceable
return every effort kaU.heen put lorin,
was lately killed by two men of anotk
er band
Agent Clum tells us that he is very
credibly informed that the murderer
Pion-se-nay is at the Warm Springs'
agency in Xew Mexico, and that there
is some hope of his recapture and re
turn to justice in Arizona.
The Indian scout under Capt. Uu

try about Dos Cabesas, has returned to
Sim Carlos without liiuling any mu

three Chiricahuas who were permitted
having died.

Loshcs by Indian DcjircdntlouH.
A bilk is pending before tbe lower
house of Congress to nay a certain
claim for property destroyed by Indians.
It is understood that the bill it being
for payment of only n small sum is
intended as a test case, as the lawyers
would call it, that is to say upon its pas
sage or ticieat depends the value ol all
similar claims. Judged by the reports
of the majority and minority of the
Committee on Indian nffairs on this
bill, it would seem that the same dis
position prevails in this as in previous
Congresses, regarding this class ofl
claims. As many of our readers are
interested in the subject, we herewith
give the two reports of the Committee
The majority, consisting of Repre
sentatives Scales of North Carolina
Boone of Kentucky, Sparks of Illnois.
Hook'r of Mississippi, Morgan of Mis
souri, Seclye of Massackusetts, Page
of California, and Tafts of Iowa, re-
port on tke bill m question as follows?
i li ;u uiu mu provides lorine pay
ment of ft claim of John Jackson for
Ike sum of $1175, on account of a
depredation suffered at the hands of
Kiowa Indians.
That this case is one of a great num-
, ... . ,.- , ?. T . . t
Dcr simitar iu u, in which u is ciaimeu
that the Government of the United
States should reimburse its citizens for
losses sustained by Indian depreda
tions, hut though these losses are olten
severe, and hear sorely on the inuivi
dual sullerers, demanding our sym
pathy, and possibly requiring that the
tinted states should punish the guilty
perpetrators as it should punish its
own citizens lor committing such
wrongs, yet, as the property thus lost
is not lost in the service ot the United
States, it may be doubted whether it is
in tho constitutional power ot Congress
to grant the idemnity thus sought, or,
if it were, it is not, in the judgment of
this Committee, either wise or equit
able for this Government to act as the
insurer of the property of its citizens
against the aggressions of savage tribes
any more than it does against the
"aggressions of civilized nations when
we arc at war with them
The Committee therefore direct an
adverse report upon the pending bill.
Congressman Lane of Oregon, for
himselt and Mr. Wilslnre of Ohio.
submits the following,-as the views of
the minority of the Committee:
Congress, by the act entitled ''An act
to regulate trade and intercourse with
the Indians, and to preserve peace on
the frontiers," approved March aO,
1802, and by act entitled as above, ap
proved June 30, 1834, guarantee ulti
mate indemnity to any citizen suffering
losses by Indians iu amity with the
United "States, whether such losses
were suffered while said citizens were
lawfully within the Indian territory
or were caused by Indians passing from
their own territory into the territory
inhabited by the whites, upon condi
tion that such persons so suffering loss
-i , r . .
siiouiu reirani jroui any aueinpt to
seek private satisfaction and revenge,
and upon the further condition that
claim for indemnity should be nresent.
cd and established m a mode and at a
time nrescribed bv said act : such in.
demnity to be paid from the annuities
due to the tribe oi Indians commit
ting such depredations, in case any an
nuitics were due and payable to said
tribe, or, if not, from tbe Treasury of
the united stav. (Statutes at Large,
vol. 2, p. 143, scctiou 14; vol. 4, p. 731,
section
By these laws the liability of the
liovcrnmcnt was clearly fixed. In
demnity was absolutely assured. How
ever, these laws were subsequent.
ly modified. Congress, by the eighth
section ot tho annual Appropriation
Act, approved February 28, 1850, re
pealed so much of said guarantee as
pledged payment out of the Treasury
of the United States, lcavinir intact and
unchanged tho guarantee of indemnity
out of the Indian annuities, where
such annuities were due and payable
by the Government. (Statutes at Large,
vol. 11, p. 401, sec. b.)
It will be observed that Congress
still recognized the principle that it
was the duty ol the Ocueral uovcru
ment to see to it that indemnification
should be made. This law was intend
ed not so much to limit or restrict the
rights of the injured citizen as to re
strain the Indians from the commis
sion of depredations, by requiring that
pecuniary satisfaction should be made
out of funds nccruing to them from
the General Government. This re
matned the policy of Uic Government
for eleven years, when, its v.'orking be
ing manifestly unjust, a change, or
rather a return to the old system, was
deemed proper. Congress by the
fourth section of the Annual Appropri
atiou Act, approved July 15, 1870, re
pealed so much of previous acts us al
lowed payment from said annuities ofj
losses proven to have been sustained
by citizens from said Indian depreda
tions, and prohibiting pa3-ments for
such losses until Congress should
make special appropriation tkcrefor,
leaving intact the guarantee of 1802, as
renewed in ISM.
The Indian Department, after exam
ining Uic proofs, and being fully advis
ed in the premises the Indians hav
ing admitted the commission of the
depredations complained of recom
mend the allowauco and payment by
Congress of the sum named in said
bill, to wit, the sum of $2, the origin
al claim lieing reduecd by the Interior
Department from $1175 to that amount.
Accompanying herewith, and as a
part hereof, is the report of tho Com.
missioncr of Indian Affairs transmit
ting this claim. The testimony in the
case full' justifies the conclusion and
recommendation of the Commissioner.
We cannot believe that his report is
entitled to no consideration; that it
has no significance whatever; that,
though reouirotl by law, it is designed
for the edification of Congress, to use'
lcsslv consume its t me or encumber!
L records . and not to guide its action
or influence its legislation. We can-,
not arrive at this conclusion, however
much wc may regret to differ with the 1

Arlsoiin Visitor.
From Cairo, HI., Argus, Juno 21.
We spent a very pleasant afternoon
this week with ..Mr. J. S. Vosburg,
of Tucson, Arizona, who has been
the guest of A. II. Safford, Esq.,
ot the utty National Hank, during
his stay in our city. He gives a glow
ing account of that country, and
says when once developed bvrailronds,
the richness of its mines will startle the
world. Mr. V. is an agreeable con
versationalist and is well informed as
to the wants of the country he has
made his home. He informs us,
among many other items of news in
teresting to us, having lh'ed in Tucson
two years, Uiat our old friend Cachise,
the "most formidable chief of the
Apaches, has partaken of kis last gov
eminent rations and tiz-win and sleeps
wiUi his dead braves. We were pleas
ed to hear it, as the old gentleman was
yiuvanceu in years mm was very ir-
ritable. We think lie kad dyspepsia;
he eat one of our mules once," with the
harness on. and think the buckles
spoiled his digestion. We met him at
the time about 120 miles from Fort
Buchanan, and we thought from his ac
tions he desired to detain us and con
verse upon the best melhod of raising
scalps; but as we expected letters-at
the rort and wanted to see the soldiers,
we did not detain. He accompanied
ui, however, and we just bet (in our
mind) S3 that it we uiu not get to the
r ort Iirst, there would be a misunder.
standing and we would lose his friend
ship, and nipy be our hair. He had a
passion for American hair, n lie then
wore at his girdle the assorted locks of i
about Go deceased Americans that had
died and made no wills, and he admin
istered on the hair. He threw about four
cords of arrows along the route we
took, but we did not stop to pick them
up ; as wc said before, we expected let
ters at the Fort, and in fact otherwise
wc were pressed for time. When we
arrived at tho Fort, we did not invite
him to stop with us, and the old gentle,
man was very indignant at us ever after.
We are really pleased to know that he
is dead, although iu life he left his i. o- n ,

The New York Times lately said :
"It is not probable that in the life
time of most of our readers will such
study be offered again iu this country.''
It will be a pity for any intelligent per-
son, especially lor one who has not
traveled in foreign countries, to miss
it. As a show alone, as a well-ar-i
ranged, picturesque spectacle of beau.
ty. life and the best human workman-;
ship, with pleasing grounds, exquisite
music, abundant room to move in with
out the slightest friction or disorder
it has never been surpassed. But
as an ouject 01 study 11 is even more
attractive and important to the Ameri
can." Hon. Mat. Keller, of Los Angeles,
now in Philadelphia, writes to a friend
as follows :
I have spent four or fivedaj-s looking
over the Exposition and find it a mag.
nificent collection of works of art, in
vention and mechanical skill. It
would take a year to see the Ccnten
nial and appreciate its immensity and
variety.
Nhecp In California.
Says a late number of the San Ber
nardino Times:
The business of grazing seems to
have reached a turning-point iu Cal
ifornia. It is just now extremely de
pressed, and the present circumstances
suggest and favor some changes. The
construction of railroads, the spread
of settlements, the extension of the
area occupied by grain, the rapid mul
tiplication of sheep, and the rise in
the value of land, have tended to
increase the demand while dimin
ishing the supply of pasture so much
there would probably be serious loss if
next u inter should bring scanty
rainfall. The apprehension of such a
disaster, the low price of merino wool,
and the cheapness of mutton the last
partly the result of the large grass
crop and the unexpected difliculty in
driving sheep to Arizona have contrib
uted to bring on a panic iu the sheep
market.
From Los Angeles Republican, July
8: Indian Wells is now substituted in
the time tabic of the Southern Pacific
road in place of Seven Palms as the
terminal station. The train from Los
Angeles leaves at 2:30 p. ra. and arrives
at Indian Wells, 11:40 p. m. Return
ing it starts at 1;30 a. m. and reaches
Los Angeles at 10:10 a. m. Trains
leave on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Saturdays only.
The Ukiah (California) Dispatch
says a considerable loss has been en
tailed all around by the depreciation
in the value of sheep. This year sheep
are assessed at $1.75 per head, as
against $2.50 laFt year, and lambs have
dropped from $1 to 75 cents.

Chicago, July. 17. Gen. Crook tele
graphs Gen. Sheridan from camp on
Goose creek, Wyoming, under date of i
July 13th, via Fort Fctterman, loth, as
follows:
My last information from Red Cloud
agency was that the Cheyennes had
left there to reinforce the enemy in my
front. As this takes away nil disturb
ing elements in that section, I have
availed myself of the lieutenant-gen
eral's permission and ordered eight
companies of Fifth Cavalry under Col.
Merritt, to join me at this point. The

San Diego, July 18. Special from
Bismarck to the Chicago Times, dated'
loth, says: The impression pre-ails
that the military authorities do not re
alize the work they have to do. The
Indians in hostile camps arc believed
to number at least ten thousand, and
while there are many women and chil
dren, nearly all of these are effective
in a campaign. There are certainly
5000 to 7000 Indians who can and will
fight until subdued. There are not
more than 3000 troops all told, operat
ing against the Indians, and nearly
half these are used guarding wagon
trains or supply depots. Col. Burke,
agent at Standing Rock, writes that
there can he no peace until the hostile
bands arc broken and subdued.
Yankton, July 15. Six companies
Fifth Infantry, under General Miles,
are here en route for Big Horn. The
impression prevails that the Indian
strength is under estimated and that
nothing decisive can be done without
large reinforcomcnts.
New York, July 14. Gen. Dixsays
the canvass of Tilden and Hendricks
is a mere contest for office. Four
months before the United States will
afford time to canvass the financial
question intelligently, and what's of
more importance, enable us to demon
strate by analysis of big public acts
that the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency is himself in as urgent
need of reform as the party which put
him in nomination. Tilden in his let
tcr to the Democratic committee says:
" My nomination was a declaration In
favor of administrative reform in all
branches of Uic government, on which
duty I shall enter, if elected, in very
much that spirit in which a soldier en:
ters a battle."
