MAdNIPICEFT .SCHEME FOR Till- SETTLEMENT OF A PROMISING SECTION OF SOXORA FREE I.ANDS FOR COLONISTS. Ariiona Dally Stai. Hon. Samuel Brannan was one of the earliest pioneers of San Francisco, and was prominently identified for many years with the best interests of the Pacific me tropolis. With rare sagacity his prophetic vision foresaw the future greatness of that then forbidding sjrnd waste and lie had faith enough in its future to put his little pile in corner lots, and at an early period he erected busi ness block which were then con sidered palatial, and are even now surpassed by only a fw of the more modern structures. A Uuailcr orn Coiitiirj Ago Mr. Brannan wa considered one of the wealthiest of the few unliefthhy place for cow boys, roundels Kiid ixrder desperadoes to emigrate to. Mr. Hnmniiw ex perience as a lender of the igi lanee coinut:ee.s which ititi guished tlie UouikIs in 1S50, nad llse ballot lxv shifters and mur derers in 1S5G, has given him well defined idea as m the proper tnotliod of dealing with such dis turbers of the public pence. A vigilance committee will be formed at once a a provisional inensv.ro, until a proper municipal govern ment is organized, and an ade quate supply f hemp and other bHd-mau exterminators will be kept on hand. The natural re sources of the tract are unsur nassed. It i: 'I In flardcii Sjml or. solium Its valley lands are of unrivalled fertility, and the grant includes .jO.vIOO miles of mineral lands, containing many mines which were wo4ced with great success until the incursions of the mur derous Apache compiled their abandonment.

An agent of the Juarez govern-1 vsciniimi :nm ment visited San Francisco in search of material aid. The con test in which the legitimate gov ernment -was engaged seemed at that time almost hopeless. Mexico was bankrupt; in fact, the alleged reason of the European invasion of that country had been the failure to pay the interest on its large foreign debt. The agent had no money with which to pur chase arms, and was obliged to seek aid from those who might ac cept the worthless bonds of his government and trust to the des perate chances for future remun eration. Mr. Brannan, ever an active sympathizer with struggling aspirants for liberty and justice, came nobly forward and placed a large portion of the remnant of his fortune at the disposal of the Jaurez government, and the ma terial aid thus received contributed largely toward the successful issue of the war. . 'lhe I'ruTli:il Itiurntllmti Of republics has been reversed in this instance, and Mr. Brannan now enjoys the fruit of his invest ment in the shape of a grant from the Mexican government of eight' four square leagues of the best land in the state of Sonora, to Ie selected by himself, between the Mayo and Yaqui rivers. This laud he has thrown open to colonization upon such favorable terms as can not fail to insure its prompt settle ment and the rapid development of its unrivalled resources. A central city has been laid out and a tasteful lithograph of its plan has been issued. The farming land is now being surveyed in tracts of 100 acres, and every alternate fanning tract and city lot will be donated free to actual settlers upon the payment of the proportional cost of survey. If, at the expiration of a limited time, say one year; an' of the alternate city lots remain untaken, they will be donated to the municipality to be sold by it for the mutual benefit. The advantage of an early appli cation will thus be seen. Care ' will be exercised in the selection of suitable persons as colonists. Most of the applications have thus far been received. Fro hi California. c:ula and Oregon, And Mr. Brannan, during his re cent visit to the east, did not seek to encourage emigration from that quarter, as he is satisfied that the Pacific coast furnishqs more avail able material for the. purpose, and he is confident of getting the re quisite number from this section. The new colony will be a very Hie liar Itottiirf. And all the fruits and products of temperate and tropic regions llourish with little care. The rain fall is ample, as no mountains intervene between tlce lands and the coast. Xo irrigation is tliere- fore necessary even in the dryest seasons, and tlie branch of the Yaqui river that runs through the colony lands furnishes an abundant supply of water-power for milling purposes. Tlie most cordial re lations have already been estab lished with the Yaqui and Mayo Indians, near whose lauds this colony is situated. The chiefs have given in their allesiou to the project and promised at) unlimited supply of farm laborers from these peaceful and industrious tribes. Adequate facilities tor communi cation with the outside world will be commenced at an early da, the arrangements having been al ready completed and surveys about to be made for a railro.ul to con nect with the Sonora branch of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Kc road. Mv. tlraiiiinn-. Uon.l Mill ! XCtiMI To the Arizona line, Ht its inter section with the Santa L'ruz al ley, so as to make as direct a route as possible to Tucson, which lie regards as his principal point of communication and supply. The distance from Tucson by rail will not exceed four hundred miles. Mr. Brannan has already com-J pleled arrangements with Senor Aquirre for starting at once 11 line of stages between Tucson and the metropolis of the new colony, which will be called Sonora city. This line will be weekly at first, but the trips will be increased as the occasiotf demauds. The new stage line will go by the way of Ures, and will bealxwt four bund red and twenty-five miles in length, over excellent natural roads, and through a beautiful country. When the colonists commence to arrive the travel by this route will doubtless be heavy. Mr. Brannan has resided for the past eighteon months in the oity of Mexico, and is now in San Francisco, where he will perfect arrangements for the completion of the surveys and the prompt set tlement of his colony. Ingeraoll ou Beaconsfield. litxtwi Olobe. "Were you an admirer of Lord Beaconsfield? aked a reporter of Colont'l Koberi G. lugersoll. "In some respects. He was on our side during tin' war, and gave it as his opinion that the Union would be preserved. Mr. Glad stone congratulated Jefi'ersou Davis on having founded a new nation. 1 shall never forget Beaconsfield for his kindness nor Gladstone for his malice. Beaconsfield was an intellectual gymnast, a jwlitical athlete, one of the most adroit men in the world, lie had the per sistence of his race. In spite of the prejudices of eighteen hundred years, he rose to the highest posi tion that can be occupied by a citizen. 1 hiring his administration England again became a conti nental power and played her game of European chess. 1 have never regarded Beaconsfield as a man controlled by principle or by his heart. 1 Ic was strictly a politician, lie always acted as though he tliought the clubs were looking at him. He knew all the arts be longing to his trade, lie would have succeeded anywhere, if by succeeding is meant the attain ment of position and power. But, after all, such men arc splendid failures. They give themselves and others a great deal of trouble they wear the tinsel crown of temporary success and then fade from public view. They astonish the pit, but when the curtain falls there is nothing left to benefit mankind. Beaconsfield held con victions somewhat in contempt. He had the imagination of the east united with the ambition of an Englishman.1 Little Johnny ou Dogs. San Franolsco WhSj. One time there was a feller lot a dog of a man in the market, and the dog it was a biter. After it had bit thefelierfour.or five times he threw a eloseline over its neck and led it back to the dog man in the maiket, and he said to the dog man, the feller did: "Olu man, diden't you tisC to have this dog?" The dog man he hiked at the dog, and then he thot a while, and then lie said: "Well, yes; 1 hail him bout haf the lime, and the other haf he had me." Then the feller he was fewrious mad, and he sed: "Wot did von sell me sceh a dog as thisn for?' And the ole man he spoke up and sed: "For 4 TO, lollle money.' Then the feller he guessed he wude go home, if the dog was willing. Tncle Xed, which has been in Indyand every were, he says the Mexican dogs don't have no hair on "em.

See ail- vertiemeiiu The Peruvian synin lin cured thou A rather startling experience was felt in Salt Lake city recently, which shows the danger of mixing electricity up to be equal to Little Jjuttereup's trial. In front of the place where it occurred the tele phone crosses the electric light conductor, which is much the heavier wire of the two, about six inches above it and nearly at right anjrles, entering the store and de scendiny to the telephone about the center. For some reason the telephone wire sagged until it touched the electric light wire. The result was that the bell in the store rang, and at the same time the revolving coils of wire became red hot, the wire beginning to melt and burn up. The sig nal went into tin central office, where it was heard like the repoit of n cannon, and the operators Knew at once what the matter w-. The store keeper heard tin- bell ring, and then saw the Miioke coining out of the box. and throwing tin little door open saw the coil?, burning and emitting flashe like lightning. At the junction of the two wires there was a brilliant display of electricity which wth sent off in the shape of sparks of fire and simultaneously all the light east of that point, on that circuit, went out. The dis play was stopped by grappling the lower wire with a cord and pulling it down free of the one above. This is the most interesting of several similar accidents that have occurred recently from the same source. Notwithstanding a reduction of from 1400 to GOO in the clerical force of the census bureau, the appropriation will not admit of the payment of salaries to the present force beyond the 10th inst. Upon recommendation of Superin tendent Walker, and as the only available means of averting entire cessation of operations until next winter, the secretary of the interior has issued a circular to employes in which he savs that if thev den sire to continue upon the work of the census office as volunteers, expressly disavowing any claim against the government in conse quence thereof and signifying willingness to leave the matter entirely with congress, they will be permitted to do so.
