'Gone Granberry, of the Hamilton Jour

iously asked him about the crops in his
county. He said he did not know about
the crops, but he knew tho roads about
Hamilton were first-rate; for he had taken
a buggy ride with a young lady, a day
or two ago, and drove fourteen miles
before he thought of stopping. A young
man in tills oftloe, who is fond of picnics,
mite societies, nickel clubs, choral unions,
and ladles wherever they are, says that
“’Gene" is bad off. Much sympathy is
expressed for him, but none for the young
lady. That’s curious.

MUSCOGEE FACTORY PICNIC.
i— —*
An Excursion Down the Uliatlahuorber
m - nsn i ..ii * ' •
A ORAND BTXX7MA—PLEASURE. AND REC
REATION !
The Muscogee Picnic was a grand suc
cess—made so by its accomplished head.
Mr. Willie Swift. The trip down the river
to Oswlcheo was made In throe hours, and
we were piloted by Mr. Chas. Brockway,
one of the most skilled pilots who ever
guided a steamer upon the waters of the
Chattahoochee. The danco was the most
prominent feature of tho trip down; and
the music was soul-inspiriting, made by
the Colored String Band of live musicians.
The young ladies put on their most charm
ing attractions, and contributed in the
highest degree to tho social feature of the
occasion. The dance began from the
wharf and continued until our landing ut
Oswlchee bluff. Those who did not parti
cipate In the dance, spent, the happy hours
in social converse and love-making.
We arrived at our point of destination at
XI o’clock, a. M., and in less than half an
hour the platform for dancing was put
down, and the merry dunce continued un
til 1 o’clock l>. m., after which the friends
and families partook of tho rich feast of
fat things and delicacies which had been
prepared for the inner man. Delicious ice
lemonade was furnished in abundance
(free) by Mr. William Swift, of which all
drank freely. After dinner the dance con
tinued until Bp. m., when the blow of the
steamer’s whistle announced the hour of
our departure homeward.
There was an amusing Incident which
occurred—which I trust my friend Jack
son will pardon me for the allusion—
though partially true. Mr. Swift desirous
of treating tho local editor of the Enquirer
Sun with becoming respect, induced him
to drink iul libitum of his elegant lager on
Ice. Not being an accustomed lnabibor of
that delicious beverage, he drank more
freely than ho was conscious of and was
foroed to take a state room to recover
from its exhilirating effect, which he did
tn a few hours of sleep. Ido not say my
hanored friend was the least boosey—and
wili leave my readers to draw their own
inference. The company danced from
Oswlchee to Columbus, with but few min
utes intermission, and I will say of a
truth, that the dancers, both ladies and
gentlemon, possess the most wonderful
powers of endurance of any company of
(lancers that I ever saw, upon the lioor.
It was a happy day to all, full of pleasura
blo enjoyment, nevor to be forgotten, and
was not marred by a single accident.
The best of order was preserved, and the
genoral deportment was unexceptionable
We would specially desire to return
our grateful thanks to Mr. Willie Swift
for the pleasant and delightful boat ex
cursion—and to Capt. Brockaway, our
skillful and most agreeable pilot, in safe
ly carrying and returning us to
our homes—and to the officers and en
gineers of the boat for their considerate
care of our comfort and safety. Last, but
not least, would wo express our grateful
acknowledgements to Messrs. A. C. Flew
ellen, Homer and Clark for their consider
ation In having the grounds so neatly
and cleanly prepared for our entertain
ment. The ladles and gentlemen of Os
wieheo honored us with their presence, of
which we are proud to make mention.
Thus has closed one of the happiest
epochs in our social festivltives—which
we shall be most happy to have revived a
year hence.

THE tOUIVU ELECTION.
It is pretty hot weather to be raking
around in the sun and dust, but a good
deal of it was done yesterday by gentle
men wiio have the public weal very much
at heart. We did not see muoh of the
candidates themselves, but wo saw a host
of good strong talkers, who are deter
mined to do something for somebody be
tween now and the election. Just who
will get the benefit of the most active
workers, is yet untold; but it will all
come out in time. Bo look out!
But to all wanting Tickets for them
selves or their friends, we say come to
the Times office and have them printed.
Arretted.
Yesterday officer Joines arrested Bris
tow Eley, a negro who escaped about
three years ago from the jail at Hamil

celebrated hog thieves and richly de

LETTER FROM ARIZONA,
Globe City, A. TANARUS., May 15,1877.
ikrnr Hegulun:— “Thla Is the place 1 long
have sought and mourned huoause I found
It not," or rather It Is the poetoffleo for
Glut tie's Cam)) and that is about the same
thing. Where did I leave you? At Mo
hawk Station “if the court knows itsolf,
and she thinks at the present
wilting she do.” The GUa (pronounced
he-l) Valley was to be slightly touched
on, I believe. Very good. I went up this
valley 250 miles, from Its mouth to Flor
ence or most of that distance in the val
ley, for at some points the stage road
leaves the valley and strikes out Into the
desert In order to shorten tho distance.
The valley the whole distance, except at
some few places where tho mountains
close In to the road, forming canons, and
at other points where the river sinks to
reappear miles below, averages from one
to eight miles broad, nearly all of which
is capable of being Irrigated at a slight
expense. The land wherever wa
ter is placed upon It, pro
duces wonderfully. I saw in ono field
at Mi hawk growing iu the rankest pro
fusion, barley, oats, wheat, clover, beans,
cabbages, turnips and all kinds of vege
table-, alfalfa. In fact evorylhlng that was
planted upon it. Sugarcane Immense In
proportion, rewards the tiller of the soil
for his labor. The valley cannot bo said
to bo settled ; only a few,very lew ranchos
upon it. Not more than half a dozen in
the Ilrst hundred miles from Yuma. This
vast valley, leaving out these few tracts,
is at the present time nothing hut adesert.
In a few years time it will be a blooming
Eden. If my tastes ran In the direction
of farming, right in tho valley of tho Gila
would I settle down. As it now is, I would
not give one acre of irrigable land as rich
as that is, for ten in a country depend
ent on tho rainfall. Out of the valley on
both sides is what now is and always will
be, until the seasons materially change,
mountains and plains bare of grass, on
which, only at rare intervals, tho rain
ever falls.
Nine-tenths of the land in Arizona, if
not a much greater proportion, is a des
ert, Incapable of being made to ever yield
any return to the farmer. In its moun
tains lies its wealth. Little of that wealth
is known; for, until the last few years, it
was almost certain death to go five miles
from a Government post. Tha dreaded
Apache held the land as his own at the
[mint of his arrow, and bidding defi
ance to all. They defied the power of the
Government to subdue them; they shot
everything in reach—and all were in reach
who ever entered their lines. The Apache
never spared. Now, most of these llerce
warriors are on the Reserves—placed
there by the effort of one min:, General
Crook, of the United States Army. The
country Is so isolated, that he was beyond
tire reach of the Indian Agents—those
meddling scoundrels—and he took the
Hold against the Indians. All captured
with arms In their hands were stretched
up by the neck to a mesquit tree; and the
only terms given to those who delivered
up their arms was to serve as allies with
him—and by making Indian light Indian
he quieted the whole Territory.
I left Mohawk Station on Sunday morn
ing at 4 o’clock; tho stage came in loaded
down with passengers. I tried it inside
for twenty miles, got suffocated with dust
and heat- being three on a seat; and at
the breakfast hour I crawled on top, and
there I staid all that day and uight and
next day; covered myself up in my over
coat, and slept as well as if I was in a
Palace Car; the rolling motion of the
stage being soon accustomed to. Three
passengers on top besides myself—all gay
fellows—been on the frontier nearly all
their lives, and we had a rattling time. At
one place we left the Gila and cut across
the desert 45 miles. Notone drop of wa
ter in that distance. Had in six horses,
and without change we went through at
a rapid pace. On this desert a few stunted
brush and tho everlasting cactus—the
dryer the soil tho higher they grow—some
of them being 25 feet high and 1% feet in
diameter.
On the road from Yuma to Florence the
character of the country is pretty much
the same—mountains to the north and
mountains to the south, crossing at times
the foothills of the latter. Nearly the
whole of this section has been torn into
fragments in long ages past by earth
quakes and volcanoes, anil you still see
traces of the fiery lava torrent that swept
everything before it. In tho valley, a
grim and ghastly sight. Out of the val-1
loy, not much better, except where the
hand of man has reclaimed tha desert
wastes by the power of water.
Monday evening late wo roiled Into
Florence, coveted with dust. Florence Is
a place ol 500 inhabitants, half or whom
are Mexicans. The town has suffered
Irom ravages ot small pox recently and
there were several cases still on hand. It
isbuiltof sun-dried bricks, (adobe) lies
in a rich valley on the south side of the
Gila. The valley is well irrigated and
crops are fine. It will, in time, I think, be
a considerable place. I stayed there one
night, which was longer than I wished,
on account of small pox; and how 1 got
from there, I shall reserve for my next.
Yours, Ac.,
J. F.

We kaeel and pray in sadness,
For (Mir gentle mother tor away.

Seems buried in her coffined oiay.
Yet we lift onr eyes, snd s snowy dove
Bears a glist’nlng crown to Heaven’s queen,
And trembling with pure, holy love,
Says these are are thy jewels, and a sheen
Of living light Hashes there—
Where an aDgel in deep, aweet repose
Rests near Mary, queen Mother mild.
Ands Virgin hand clasps s mystical rose
On the pure bosom of her best loved child.

And softly folded bands are praying
In Heaven for ns now.
Clasping the Jeweled leaves that srs straying
From our baptismal garland, and the fond, swaet

Is drifted In a halo of glory the while,
Flostiag 'round the throne of the Lamb.
Purer than the Kohinoor, earth’s brightest gem,
Is the loved memory of thy name,
And the amber light rippling irom thy diadem
Flashes back to earth thy fame.
Thy jewels are dew-drops of charity, faith and

Frozen m sorrow's dark night
And gathered by the angels there.

And my pen's little prayer
