Til PRE IS NO DEATH.
There is no death. The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine for evermore.
There is no death. The dust wc tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden "rain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flower.
The uranitc rocks disorganize.
And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest trees drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death. The leaves may fall
And flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death. An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread,
And bears our best-loved things away,
Aud then we call tUcm "dead."
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
lie plucks our sweetest, fairest flowers ;
Transplanted In bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of 6iu and strife,
Sings now In everlasting song
Around the tree of life.
Whcre'c. he sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint or vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell iu l'aradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave us but to come again ;
With joy we welcome them the same,
Except Iu siu ami pain.
And ever near ns, though unseen,
The dear Immortal spirits tread;
For all this boundless universe
Is life there are no dead.

THE TELEGRAPH EXPRESS.
It was in the year ISC, while the war
for the Union was being fought between the
North and South, that the American Tele
graph Company, to accelerate tbeir incrcas-
tclegranh business, decided to erect a
in
branch line of telegraph from the City cf
C , State of Ohio, to the town of D ,
same State, distant 33 miles.
Poles were scarce at that particular period,
and in order to save time, the wire was run
in many places on the roofs of barns anil
houses of the country people along the route
to D , and at one place the wire was
placed on thes ide of Squire Day's house, near
a window. The Squire had often heard .of
the telegraph, had read about it, and imagin
ed he was well posted as to tho mode of
operating tho electric telegraph and, if any
of his neighbors doubted his word, he would

THE CinRIOAIIUA INDIANS RAID
INTO MEXICO.
Mr. G. II. Howard communicates the fol
lowing to the Citizen, of May 8th :
Titcson. Arizona, April 29, 1873.
Editor Citizen: Having just returned from
an extended tour through bonora, during
which I became well cognizant of tna actions
of the Chincahua reservation Apacncs aim
their raids and depredations in fconora, i
deem it my duty to endeavor to impart my
knowlcd e to the public, as to tae acts oi
these Indians, especially as thcro is no rc-

14th of March last and just beyond the lino
about two miles beyond the monument, I
came across the fresh" trail of a band of six
or seven or more Apaches, going from Ari
zona into Sonora towards the districts of
Magdalena and Altar, and a few days there
after I learned of depredations and murdors
done in those districts by Apaches.
I remained at dillercnt points in Sonora
about one month in all, and during that time
learned of and heard of many outrages by
Apaches along the border, and many times
felt ashamed when asked, by the people

strange noises and doings that he heard at
night, on that wire outside of his window.
Elijah, the Deacon's son, had at that time
been two years oil to the war. The Deacon
one day got a letter from his son, nnu in the
letter was a request that r. pair of good
shoes be sent him by cxpicss, as the article
was getting very scarce at the front.
The Squire purchased a pair of shoes and,
thinks he, the Telegraph is mighty handy
egad 1 but I'll give the young man a surprise,
and at tho same time we'll sec what this
telegraph is made of? The Squire, when it
became dark, tool: the shoes, tied the strings
together, went up stairs to where the wire
passed the window, reached our. carefully
and hung the shoes on the wire. Says he,
I wonder what Elijah will say when he gets
them so quick?

Document No. G9.
When at the last session of Congress but a
part of the deficiencies for the year ending
June 30, 1874, were allowed, it was my clear
understanding, as I find it wa that of others,
that at this session they should bo provided
for iu full. In some remarks made on this
floor May 11, 1874, I said: " 1 regret that
while the deiiciency bill gives all that is ask
ed to sweep away" the indebtedness of the
fiscal vear ending'Juuc 30, 1873, it provides
for less than one-half of the amount asked

THE PINAL MINES.
Division Agent Thomas, of the C. & A.
Stage Company, brings glowing accounts
from the Pinal mining region. He saw our
old friend, M. L. Stiles, at Florence, who
grumbled a little, as he perhaps had a right
to, because the Miner had not given that
new discovery quite as much attention as it
deserved ; the fact is, we hardly realized our
proximity to these mines or their inimenso
richness until Mr. Thomas calleu our atten
tion to them, and in looking over dispatches
received to late to cuablc us to get them in
type for former issues wo find the following:
Florence, A. T., May 10th.
Dr. W. "V. Jonss and party arrived in
town last evening from the Pinal mines.
They were somewhat surprised to see the
richledgcs of silver and gold, and thought it
almost impossible that these veins could
have existed in the vicinity without having
been discovered before, as prospectors have
more or less for the past five years passed
within a stone's throw of the ledges discov
ered. Dr. Jones located several claims and
brought with him rich specimens of silver.
Mr. Iksdsbaw, one of the party, said that
Dr. Jones located a silver lcdj,c which will
yield sevon thousand dollars per ton. Tho
part- returned to the mountains- this morn
ing. Prospectors arrive daily from tho Pinal
mountains bringing with their, additional
specimens o new discoveries of silver and
copper ores. The latest was made by a Mr.
Culver, consisting of a hilver ledge, nine
inches in width on the surface, dipping into
the mountain, with an increase of thrco
inches to tho lineal yard. This discovery
was made on Thursday last, one mile north
cf the Silver King, and is reputed to be
worth thousands ot dollars.
Several parties have been negotiating for
the purchaoo of the Silver King, and rumor
says that 850,000 was offered for the claim,
but the discoverers, who are poor men, sec
more money than the above mentioned sum
in si"ht. Messrs. Reagan, Mason and two
otliprs who are the happv possessors, com

way, rejoicing and marveling at the in'ste-
rious ways of Providence.
The Squire passed a restless night, he
dreamed he was a telegraph wire, a galvanic
nnnrntinntioti to meet these iteiicion
cies, but I cannot find that any one of them
has been summoned beforo the committee or
the sub-committee, although all anxious to
secure a hearing.
Ar niinirmaii. these deficiencies are, as I
took opportunity to say at the last session,
the direct and natural roult of the failure
on the part of Congress to make adequate ap
propriations for the Indian service. What

estimates for the Indians have been prompt

Ax Inveterate In visitor. Our old
friend, J. M. Crcal, as we observe by tho
Los Angeles papers, is still on the invent.
He has spent a small fortune experimenting
with .lying machines, perpetual motion, and
a hundred other failures which would have
discouraged almost any one else, but his
motto is "never give lip." Crotil has some
splendid notions with regard t; power and
its application to machinery, but has never
had quite enough money to perfect his mod- ..
els, else wc suspect he would have been
innri! successful. "We hope he has struck it
in the "well borer," and may make a fortune.
The following we find in the Los Angeles
Star: .
"A New Well Borer. Mr. J. M. Ureal
is encaged in putting the finishing touches
upon an invention 01 ins own, uicu, 11 u
prove to be all that is claimed for it, will
work an entire change in the business of
sinking artesian well.-, which is destined to
become one of the most important industries
of the State. M r. Creal's invent ion proposes
to do away entirely with the present system
of poles, and to operate an augur by the ap
plication of the force of gravitation in a novel
and powerful manner which it would bo.
difficult to describe intelligibly without a
diagram. The augur is attached to a circu
larcyHndcr weighing about 150 pounds,
within which is a spiral shaft working in
cog-wheels, by which the rotary motion is
obtained. The augur is eneltxi-d iu a bucket,
at the bottom of which are valves through
which the sand and dirt ascend until it is full
and the signal is i ven to raise the appara-
tus. when the valves cioie aim iuc man i
dirt is brought to the top by means of a ropo
worked by horee power. Mr. Creal has filed
a caveat, and expects to have his work far
enough advanced to make a working test in
a week or ten davs. He is for tho present
at Mangin's machine shop on Spring street."
Whittier on War and the Church
The Boston Globe publishes the following
letter of Mr. John G. Whittier, written to
his friend, Rev. J. B. Miles, D.D., General
Sccretarv of the Association for tho Reform
and Codification of tho Laws of Nations:
Amesecry, 14, 4th Month, 1875.
To James B. Miles Secretary, fees
Mv Deak Friend: It is eminently lit
tinf to connect the centennial anniversary of
the opening battles of the Revolution wiui
the growing sentiment of civilization that
there is "a more excellent way" of settling
the disputes of nations than by the ordeal
of war. It is cheering to note the very
general favor with which the plan of ar
bitration has been received by statesman
and civilians in this country and in Europe;
but there are other signs of the times well
calculated to occasion solicitude on the part
of every lover of peace. The menace of
danger now comes Irom tho professed Church
nf riirict At this moment the peace of
Europe Is threatened by the secret plots ana
monstrous public pretensions of ecclcsiasti-ci-m.
If war comes in consequence; if tho
fairest harvest fields in the world are matio

Woe to that church which, for the sake of
power and dogma, breaks the truce of God
among the nations, makes its missionaries
tssassins, and mingles blood with its wine of
sacrament. It is high time for the Christian
Church to awaken to a sense of its awful re
sponsibility. If, after tbe dreadful ex
perience ol eighteen hundred years, it fails
to perceive the necessity of shaking itself
free of the barbarism of war, it has small
claim npon the world's respect and con
fidence. Its leaves are not for the healing or
the wounds of nations. I am, very truly,
thy friend, John G. Whittier.
