TIIE   COLORE L'S   HOUSE.
We find tim following capital ''boss1' yarn in
the last Porter's Spirit of the Times, credited tc
an " E&cn'arige." We do not know but some of our
rollers may have met wits it before. If Ihey
havo, we doubt not they will enjoy a new laugh
over its perusal:
I have uever been able th ascertain Ihe cause of
the quarrel between ttie Crickleys and the Drakes.
They have lived within a mile of each other id Hit"
nois for five year.-, anl from their first acquaint,
anco there had been a mutual feeliug of dislike between the two families.
One day Mr. Drake, tbe elder, was returning
home wilh a pocket full of rocks from Chicago,
where he hail been to dispose of a lead of grain,
and Sam B iften was on tlie wagon wilh him. A3
they approached ihe gr-ora which intervened between them and Mr, Drake's house, he observed to .
his companion :
'■ What a beautiful shot old Crickley's roan is j
over yoiub r I"
" Hang it, BO it is,n muttered old I>rake.
The horse was standing under a.me trees twelve
rods from the road.
Involuntarily, Drake stopped his team. He
glanced futively around ; then, with a queer ?milef
the old hunter took up his rifle from the bottom
of the wagon, and raising it to his shoulder, drew
a sight on tne Colonel's horse.
" Beautiful," muttered Drake, lowering his rifle
with the air of a man who has resisted powerful
temptation '' 1 c-iu!d drop the old roan so handsome."
" Shoot!" suggest Sam Barton, who loved fun
in any shape.
" No, 'twoat do," said the old hunter, glancing
cautiously around.
'■ I won't tell," aaid Sam.
" Wall, I won't shoot this time, tell nr not tell.
The horse is too nigh— if he was fifty yards off. instead of twelve, so (here Would be a bare possibility of mistaking him for a riser, Fd let fly. As it
is I'd give old Crickley five dollars for a Bhot."
At Ihis moment the Colonel himselfstepped from
behind a bii oak, not. hall a dozen paces distant,
and stood before Mr. Drake.
" Well, why don't you shoot?"
The old man .stammered out some words in con.
fusion.
'■That you, Colonel? I—I was tempted to, 1
declare.    But as I said, I'll give you a V for a pull.''
" Say an X, and it's a bargain."
Drake felt for his rifle, aod looked at the old
horse.
" How much io o
in Sam's ear.      ■ 	
" About fifty dollars."
"Well, I'll do it.    Here's an X."
The Colonel pocketed the money, muttering,
' I'll be hanged if! thought you'd do it."
With high glee the old huuter put a fresh cap
on his riflie, stood up.in hia wagon, and drew a
close sight on old roan, The Colonel put his
money in his pocket, and chuckled too.
Crack went the rifle. The hunter let out a horrid oath, which I will not here repeat. Sam was
astonished j the Colonel starred; old roan never
stirred.
Drake starred at his rifle, with a face black aa
Othello's.
uo.ai/sme matter witn you, hey? in^t time
you ever served me such a trick, I swan?" and
Drake reloaded hia piece wilh great wrath aud indignation.
'People say you've lost your knack of shooting," said tbe Colonel, in a tone ofcutti tig sarcasm'
"Who said so? It's a lie!" thundered the enraged old bootee,   '■ I can .'hoot—"
" A horse at ten rods.   Ha? Ha ?"
Drake was livid.
'■ Look here, Colonel. I cau't stand that," he began .
"Never mind, the horse can," sneered the Colonel.
Grinding his teeth. Drake produced another X.  -
■• Here," he growled, " I'm bound to have my shot,''
" Crack away," eaid the Colonel, pocketing the
note.
Drake did crack away—with deadly aim, too,
but the horse did not mind the bullet in the least
To the rage and unutterable disgust of the old
hunter, roan starred him right in the face, as if he
liked the fun
" Drake," cried Sam, " you're drank. A horse
at a dozen rods ?    0 Lord !"
" Shut your mouth, or I'll shoot you," said old
Drake.
"The man lies that says I can't Bhoot. Last
week I cut a goose's head at titty rods, and I can
do it again, Criu'kley, you cau laugh now, but
I'll bet you fifty dollars that I can briag down old
roan at tbe very nest shot."
The wager was readily excepted. The stakes
were pieced in Saai's hands. Slated with the idea
of winning hack his two tens and making an X iu
th i bargain, Drake carefully selected a perfect ball,
and with a buckskin patch, loaded his rifle.
It was now nearly night, but the hunter was in
tlie habit of boa-ting that lie could shoot a bat on
the wing by starlight, and without hesitation he
drew a head on old roan's head.
A moment later, and Drake was driving through
(he grove, tbe most enraged and desperate of men.
His rifle, innocent victim of his ire, lay with broken stock in the bottom of his wagon. Sam Barton was too frightened to laugh.
In the meantime, the gratified Colonel was rolling on tbe ground convulsed with mirth, and old
roan waa standing under the trees.
When old Drake reached home, hia two sons,
discovering hia ill humor, hastened to arou-e his
spirits with the news which they were sure would
make him dance with joy.
" Clear out I" growled the angry old man ; " I
don't want to hear any news; gel away, or I'll
knock you down "i
"But, father, it ia such a trick played oo old
Oickley."
'■ Old Crickley ?" a*ked the old man, getting interested. " GMad if you have played the Colonel a
trick ;  let's have it."
" Well, father, Jed and I, this evening, went
our for deer—"
" Hang tho deer, lei's hear about your trick."
"Coold'al Slid the der, bat 1 Iho't we must kill
something, so  Jed   banged away at ihe Colonel's
old man—idi it him dead."
" Sliot old roan !'' thundered the old hunter "Jed,
did yon shoot the Colonel's hoss?"
,: Didn't do anything else,"
i! Then, said Jed. confident that the joke ransi
be agreeable to his father, •' Sim and I proppedbim
up, and tied bis head back nriih a siring nnd lef
bim standing under the ttee just as if be was alive.
Ha? ha! isn't it a joke?"
Old Drake's head fell upon bis breast.    He  felt
his empty pocket hook ami  looked   at  his rifle
Then, iu a rueful tone, he whispered to   the bo_
' It's a joke, but if von ever tell of it—or il you

E. P. RUSSELL'S   PATENT. ■
FBANcilTTifEIiLUS,
HAVING purchased the patent right oftlie above
valuable invention, for the purpose of supplying the counties ol Los Angeles, San Bernardino
aud Sau Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored.
The public are aware that it has been the study of
scientific men, architects and builders, for many years
to discover an article lor Rooiing purposes, that will
withstand suddmi changes ol climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection against fire. The
inventor of thjs roofing labored many years to combine articled which would answer the above purpose
and obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin aud shingles, and the destruction by
the Sim aud frost of the various compositions used
for roofing- This he succeeded in doing, and now,
alter six years of the> severest trial we wouldinvite
the careful attention of all interested in such matters,
believing that they will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and: economy, in
which respectsMvai believe that its equal is not at

BY DAVID UAHKKIl,
Some years ago—so say my notes —
When Sahlmth'n hni/.en hells were chiming,
The music from tbeir hollow throats
Induced me straight to take to rhyming.
For many ii dreamy hour I sat
Anil having closed poetic labor,
.'{'put my rhymes wiihiu my hat,
And started for my nearest neighbor.
My neighbor's eldest girl, I knew,
Laid claims to being "literary,"
So, to her father's house I dew,
To read my poetry to Mary. ■
She was the fairest of our race ;:
Her waist was small, and lingers tapered,
And smilesaround her rosy tiice
Like lambkins round a pasture capered,
I read of war, and read of pence,
And read of many an anoleTrt nation ;
Of ancient Rome and ancient -Greece,
And thousand things throughout, creation;
I read how1 raven eyes encased
A dagger for each Irusting lover ;
But eyes of blue, and blender waie(,
1 echoed nearly ten times over.
I read of husband and of wife—
A note prepared to please my fairy ;
I hinted ol ray  lonely life,
And of the witching- name of Mary.
I closed my reading, raised my eyea,
To thiow me on herteintermercieB ;
When with a drowsyyawn she cries.
"By hokey, them is pretty verses !"
Within my hat I put my rhymes,
And raised iho latch, and left my fairy ;
But never have 1. since those ti ilea/'
Read -'Pretty Poeiry" to Mary.

The Reservation s
Iii4li
By G. Bailey, ov the Interior Department.
By the last mail, we received the above report,
a pamphlet of some twenty-four pages, being the
result of the experience of Mr. Bailey, a special
Agent sent hy Government to investigats1 and report on the Indian Reservation system, of California.
Of the Indiana in this immediate aection o
country', Mr. Bailey recommends '■ supplying them
with seeds, agricultural implements and a littie
clothing to enable them to work out a future for
iiiem.-ielves,"
Of the Arizonia Indians who occupy an important position on the great line of transcontinental
travel, Mr. Bailey says:—
Th Indiana of Arizona consist of the Pimasand
Marcopas. the Papagos and the Apaches. The
Yumas and the Coeopas are not.-stric'lly speaking,
Arizona Indians, though connected with some of
Colorado, south of the beundtej line ; the Yumas
occupy the country around Fort Yuma, aud are
chiefly within the limits; ofthe State of California.
I have uo information, in respect to tln^e Indians,
to add to that already in possession of the Indian
oflice.
The Pimasand Maricopas, one of the most interesting tribes within our limits, occupy a strip of
land; some fifteen miles in length, upon the Gila
river, their principal village being distant one
hundred and eighty-one miles from Fort Yuma,
and ninety-nine from Tucson. -Originally distinct
tribes, they have become so intimately allied by
intermarrying, that they may now be considered
one people. According to a census table, furnished mo by Lieutenant Chapman, a copy of which
(marked A.) accompanies this report, they number altogether four thousand aix hundred and
thirty-five, of whom one thousand three hnndied
and forty-four are warriors.
These Indians are partially civilized, and have
some knowledge of agriculture. Lieut. Chapman,
in'tbe report before . referred to, describes tbeir
settlements as follows :
"Their- pueblos extend along this stream (the
Gila) some fifteen miles, some of them at a distance from the river proper of more than five
miles, these being supplied with water by acequias.
This valley, occupied by the Pimasand Marico-
pas, is, to a great extent, cultivated, and I have
never seen .richer soil or more beautiful fields'
The acequias of crystal water, running from pueblo to pueblo' all over the valley, make it present
an appearance of beauty and civilization that is
tiulv pleasiiig. The principal iroductsof their
labors ■ are!corn, wheat, pumpkins, bears, peas,
melons'. &c, in greai abundance."
Although engaged in agriculture, and naturally
peaceable, the Piniaa' and Maricopas are still a
brave people and formidable in the field. This is
partly the result of their proximity to the Apaches,
with whom they wage an uuceas'ing war. i was
iiilbrmed. while passing hrough their territory,
that they keep a force constantly in the field, and
tbat three hundred of their, young men were theu
absent on an excursion agaiust their hereditary
enemies.
These .Indians have slrong churns upon the consideration of the United States Government, the
prompt recegnition of which uot only justice aud
hunwiity, but sound policy, renders a matter ol
prim-' necessity. From thy time they refused lo
assist the Mexicans in cm ting off Colonel Cooke's
command, in 1847, they have < ver been loyal to
us. supplying grain and lorage to emigrant and
mail parties, aiding them in recovering their cattle, straved, or stolen hy the Apaches, and manifesting "in every possible mode their desire to
maintain friendly relatione with us. Their ohief
recently boasted that •' the Maricopas had not yet
learned the color of the white man's blood," are-
k which could not, I think, be predicated of
any other tribe en the continent. This alone
should entitle them to a participation in the larg-
ei-ses which are annually distnbuled with uo spar-
nil among their red brethren ; but, so far,
they have been more blessed In giving than receiving, and have looked iu vain for a recognition by the government of fhe many kindnesses
they have rendered our people. This laidiuess
and indifference on our part have excited some
dissatisfaction among them, and, if persisted in,
mav induce them to throw off an alliance fiom
wliich ihey have derived no benefit. Some idea
ot their feeiings on this subject may be gathered
Irom the follov ing extract from a letter published
in tbe " Alta Calilornia " of Juue 28 :
° About ninety miles from Tucson, and directly
on the route trom Fort Buchanan to Fort Yuma,
are the Pima villages, occupied by the Pima and
M'u-ici'pa Indians, who number some fifteen hundred warriors. These Indians, even before theft
BOOtitry cam<| into the possession of the United
States' weie exceedingly friendly to the Americans, ami Wing upon the direct routeoithe southern emigration, they were constantly called upon
to aid in relieving the sufferings ..I tin; em -:r,nl~:
they furnished grain and other pr-v.-, n- ,-r reasonable prices, and bestowed charity with more
than Christian generosity
" They were  assured,   from   time to time,   that
when their country came into lhe control of th
United States they would be bountifully  rewarded  and provided with an abundance ol agricultural inipleouutB.   Tru. tiug to these specious prom
isps, they remained satisfied, and since the year-
18-19 they bave acted in the capacity of, and with
even more efficiency than, n frontier military
They havo protected American emigrants Irom
molestation by the Apaches, and when the latter
have stoleu stock from the emigrants, the Pjjnaa
and Maricopas have punishci" them and recovered
their animals; yet, in all this time, nothing has
been done for them by this government. No one
has stepped forward to urge their claims. Thousands aud tens of thousands of dollars, year after
year, have been drained from the government for
the expenses of the Indian department, and applied wisely or unwisely, expended here or there, or
perhaps found their way iuto the pockets of agents
sub-agents and spec u in tors, but uot a dollar hi
been bestowed upon these tribes, perhaps the most
worthy uud deserving ol al! the ludian tribe* v.iih
in our borders. In January last, however, an Indian agent, Mr. Walker, visited them, and was
furnished with au escort of troops, under co
mund of Lieutenant Chapman. An interview wts
had with their chief. The agent aaid he had come
amo.,g them, at the request of the United Stat'
Government, to ascertain the rr.imfcer and the
wants of their people. He assured theiu that the
Government: was prepaied to furnish them with
ploughs, spades, shovels, axes, and every article
necessary for their comfort. The Indians were
joiced ; they saw the fulfillment near at hand
all the long-made promises. They waited month
after month, but the goods and farming utensils,
which were to have been sent immediately to
them from Santa Fe, did not come. They becam-
disheartened and disgusted. A short time ago,
when companies B and K were on their way from
Fort Buchanan to Fort Yuma, they halted at ihe
Pima villages. While there the old chief, Joan
Jose, visited the tent of Lieutenant Chapman,
whom he recognized as having accompanied the
Indian agent when the unfulfilled promises were
made.
"After conversing carelessly about indifferent
things, the chief stated tbat he wou.d like to purchase from the Lieutenant some spades and axes,
as bis people were in need of them, and, exhibiting a handful of gold, he offered to pay three dol
lars apiece for them. Lieutenant Chapman iu
formed him that al! the property in his possessioi
belonged to the Government, and was only in
trusted to him aa an officer, to be used in the ser
vice. The chief then offered five dollars apiece
for a few spades, shovels and axes. The Lieuten"
ant repeated that he had no authority to part wiih
them. Assuming an air of dignity, the old chief
waved his hand and Slid, sternly : "Sir, I wish to
hear no more of this: I have heard enough. I
t..,i;.-...« „.~..,. „„„„i.. o,j. a ufeuui (.r ikiD i,.,i ».,„,
are a liar individually. You Game with your
agent and you heard what he said ; you sanctioned
it. You are an officer, and you know he lied to
my people. I trtist yon no more.-' The Lieutenant sat and listened to the indignant warrior ; he
felt humiliated and ashamed for his government^
and his blood heated'at the personal insult offered
him, but lie acknowledged the justness of thecom-
plaiat and was silent.'''
I have the authority of Lieutenant Chapman,
and of Captain Davidson who acted as interpreter
on the occasion, for saying that the account oftlie
interview between tlie Maricopa chief and tho of:
Beers is literally true.
Bnt it is necessary to do more thaD conciliate
these Indians by presents. They must he secured
in the possession of their lands. Their richness
and their advantageous location wil! excite the ]
cupidity of a class of settlers not over nice in their |
regard for the rights of the Indians, and trespasses will be committed, which will surely be resented and punished. Domestic in their habits, occupying fixed habitations, attached to the soil that
they and their ancestors have cultivated for ages,
these are precisely the people who will least brook
an invasion of their territorial rights. Formidable in numbers, courage and position, it is in their
power to do us incalculable injury, certainly to
cut off fbr au Indefinite peried our communication
thiough Arizona with the Pacific. Sound policy]
therefore, would suggest the necessity of preventing any cause of complaint on this score, and of
doing so at once.
There is yet another reason why Government
should cultivate an alliance with these Indians.
They are a barrier between the Apaches and all
western Arizona, and while their present relations
continue, travel between Fort Yuma and the Maricopa Wells, will be as safe as in the settlements.
I would respectfully recommend for these Iudi-
Trnilc Nitmmnry.
The forlnight just ciosini , has  been marked by
some speculative movements, all of which, however, seem to have culminated, and at the close, business is quite dull:    from the country, there is, as ■'
is usual at this season, a  very light demand.    At'

ans—
First. That the land they occupy should be con-
finned to them and tbeir descendants, by patent,
with a proviso, however, that the same shall be
inalienable except to the United States.
Second. That a reasonable amount of agricultural implements, seeds and clothing should be annually distributed among them.
Third. That au agent should be appointed to
reside among them to protect their interests, and
to assist them in the  management of their affairs.
Fourth. That they should be supplied with arms
and ammunition. Their loyalty has been bulli-
ciently tested to show that they may be safely
trusted, aud their efficiency as a frontier militia,
in keeping the Apaches In check, would be greatly promoted by arming them with serviceable
weapons. At present tiieir principal offensive
weapon is a short club.
I would further recommend that a commission
er be sent out to them to ascertain their want^
and wishes, and to report a detailed plan for carrying ont the policy indicated.

Tiik Comiko War in Euam-K.—The Vienna co-respondent of the Loudon Times writes:
lam glad to Bay a strong feeling against
France is rising throughout Germany, and grow-
more fervent daily, and the best Clermau newspapers very frankly declare that it France thinke
of making any aggressions on its neighbors, England, Austria, Prussia, and the oiher German
States, will curb its insolence on a new Waterloo,-
But the darkest clmtd is in the   East,    You   know
- proportion of Greeks  to Turks in  Turkey   in-
Europe is twenty seven million lo three million.—
It appears that these Greeks are enroll* d  into secret societies, aud are ready to rise at any moment.-
Their leaders are busy in  Europe; at  London, at
Vienna, at St. Petersburg, in P*ris. urging   their
policy on   the  Western aud  Northern   PowarB.— ■
This is their policy :    The execution ofthe promises made by Turkey at the recent general   treaty
to make the Greeks   equal   to  the Turks in every'
respect.    If this be doue, the Greeks will speedily
be the  masterB   of the  Turkish   Government, by
virtue of that law   philosophers  declaim   against,
but which despite their dtclamations,  rules us all
the ascendancy ol brute force. They demand a
Greek Ministry tu govern the Turkish Empire !—-
It is believed that when their chief's now in Europe
lind there is nothing to hope from tbe Western
Powers' negotiations, they will rise to a man, and
overthrow the Turkish Government, their watch--
,._Td being—"The celebration of mass in St Sophia." I need not dwell ou the complicitions to
which such a revolution would give rise."
It will be seen from all this that the condition

aud unsettled. The thunder rumbles and reverberates iu tke distance, and the storm will burst'
sooner or later.
