NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.
.BY.
.PAT C ANTE BURY,.
OF FIRST CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEER*.
Fierce Mars, I bid thee glad farewell.
And turn my buck upou Beloua,
To photograph in doggerel
New Mexico and Arizona.
The stinging grass, the thorny plants,
And ot it»oriokly tropic glories;
The thieving, starved inhabitants,
Which look so picturesque iu stories.
The dusty, hot, long, dreary way,
’Neath the burning sun you totter;
To reach the camp at dose of day.
And And it destitute of water;
The dying mules, the dricu-up springs,
Which novel-writers seldom notice;
The song of blood mosquitoes sing,
nd vicious howling of coyotes.
I'arar.luias, centipedes and iion.en t ads.
An»i piercingmestjuih daggers.
With thorny branches, grass uml weeds,
To bleed the trave.cr os he staggers.
Why paint things in a rosy light,
And n ver tell the simple fact, thus,
f 11 w oue sits down to lest at night,
f And ofieu squats upon a cactus?
The night bird’s music, sweet and clear.
Is over-pictured not a “ leetle,”
As search might prove to the enchanted ear
The habitation of a beetle.
Oft at midnight a sentinel.
Who, dozing, dreams of distant battle,
la arouesd in fright to hear the yell
Of Indians who have nipped his cattle
The desert, mountain, rock and sand
Comprise the topographic feature;
There’s nothing left at my commund
Except to paint the living creature.
In point of energy and sense
The wild Apaches are the head men;
So Iu fairuess i commence
To tell you something of tue red men.
Each mountain chain coutuins a hive
Oi those marauding sous of thunder;
Who somehow manage to contrive
To live upon mezeal and plunder.
From towering crags they watch theronte
O’er which the trains ore slowly creeping,
And with a wild, blo.id-curdling shout.
Across the uesert come a-sweeping.
But hen* their valor takes a turn.
On ineehng with the least resistance;
They dread a fight, and quickly learn
To keep a most respectful distance.
Their choicest plan is where the road
• oes winding through n dusty canyon.
There th y squat just like a toad,
•Surrounded by each dark companion.
B it when you reach their hiding place,
With noiso enough to freeze the marrow,
They pour a volley in your face,
Composed of harmless yells and arrows.
Should you Hi and and make a fight.
With carbine raised from off you saddle,
The nolle red will take to flight,
Nor blush to think he must skedaddle.
Too long my pen has dwelt upon
Those foes to railroads, soap and labor;
A few short years and they uro gone
Beyond the t each of prayer or sabre.
Now turn we to another class
Inhabiting this region sunny,
Devoid of trees and flowers and grass,
A land of neither milk nor honey.
There is no fairer rule than that
Which gives to Ctesar all that’s Ciesar’s;
And yet this is not a land of fat,
Because the people are called Greasers.
Those natives iu the white man’s eyes
Have neither virtue, brains nor vigor;
A most unhappy compromise
Between the Indian and the nigger.
Their language is a mongrel whine.
From which the moaning seems to vanish,
The strength from lager beer or wine,
A parody upon the Spanish.
Th« Greaser seldom eats or drinks.
His soul is wrapped in scai ty clothing;
On books he never dreams or thinks,
And labor is his special loathing.
He look* ho grim and full of fight,
You might suppose hi* temper'soured;
But danger turns him nearly white,
And prove* this hero is a coward.
They have as queer a hill of fare
As huiriAn stomach e’er digested;
Ami what they live upon beside* the air
Yoivmay, perhaps, be interested.
They eat frijolss, came, corn.
And on hogs' intestines riot.
Tortillas, sheens' heads, hair and horns,
And chili for a favorite diet.
But lit lie cares . e for his in1 a s,
Although he apes the Spanish hero,
Wifh monstrous spurs upon is heels,
And i.n his head a broad sombrero.
He grimly smiles at Gringo jokes.
Although he hasn’t a single clako,
With t.igulty he calmly smfkes
IIis cigarettes of nud tobacco.
Smoking and lolling in the shade,
The!i lazy aonis no tlioug t porpiex s,
While they blow a cloud ?o unUisinuy. d
Out ot the uOats of both sexes.
Upon their heads in triumph roign.
Great swarm of vermin, tat and saucy;
, Those rovers of the Spanish main
Cruise freely on an ocean glossy.
The women dress upon a plan
Resembling French Zouaves or Turkos;
And this, God's last, best gift to man.
Appears but little less than scarecrows.
The face concealed from human sight,
And legs exposed to all that passes;
Their color varies in tue light,
Be wixl new leather and molassA.
In fliib they live, and from it spring —
The women breed like mice and rabbits;
It seems to be a settled thing,
With people filthy in their habits.
They dwell in hoytds built of mud,
Where dogs and goats at will may wunder.
Where liquid tilth and slushy llood
Around their doors meander.
They go to church, believe iu hell.
Where their torments must be hot ones;
They play on fiddles, ring the bell.
And worship God with drums and shotguns
They tell a thousands barefaced lies,
To all the saints in heaven appealing;
Confess their sins with tearful eyes,
Devoutly pray, but keep on stealing.
They plow the soil with forked logs.
For fuel dig the earth with shovels;
Cut grass with hoes, ch »ii up their hogs.
And keep their horses in their hovels.
Th ir mode of travel on the road
Would frighten one who never met a
Lousy, stupid, screaming load
Of Greasers in an old carreta.
Great wooden wheels, devoid of grease.
An oxen rushing with u vengeance;
A noise like forty thousand geese.
Or a score of new steam engines.
8ouie earthquake that would sink the land,
Some great subterranean motion.
And have this barren tract of land
The pavement of a heaving ocean;
Some huge convulsive water shake.
Some terrible, spasmadic movement.
Subsiding but to leuve'u lake,
Would be a most direct improvement.
Iu picturing this clime,
I neither have been brilliant nor pathetic;
But told f things in simple rhyme,
Perhaps more truthful than poetic.
My photograph, I would confess.
The country doe? by no means flatter ;
The people and their customs less,
It s true—that's what's the mattsr.
When Gabriel blows his final trump.
And ull the nations are paraded
For grand inspection in a lump.
This race will prove the most degraded.
If any think me too severe.
Or call my yarn a wicked libel.
I’ll take, to prove myself sincere,
My oath upon a Mormon Bible.

Tbe broad Atlantic is ever a stormv
tborougbtare. Yet blow tbe winds
ever so fiercely, aud ride tbe waves
ever so loftily, seaman must man tbe
good ships, touris's will brave tbe
passage, and commercial travelers aud
buyers must visit the centers of for.
eign trade and manufacture. That
atrocious malady,seasickness, together
with colicky pains and much inward
uueasiuess is often endured when Hos
tetler’s Stomach Billers would liuve
fortified the voyagers ugaiust them.
Sea captains, aud in fact all old salts
and veteran travelers are acquainted
with the protective value of this es
timable preveutivo and remedy, and
are rarely uupiovided with it. Enii
grants to the far West should use it as
safeguard against malaria. Seek tbe
aid of the Bitters for dyspepsia, con
stipation, liver complaint, kidney
troubles, and all other ailments that
impair the harmonious and vigorous
action of tbe vital powers.
