We were pleased to meet with
Warren Baer, Esq., who came passen
ger by the Overland Stage from 1 ucson,
Mr. B., has spent several days here, and
left on the steamer Return on Wednesday,
fer Memphis. We present the following
from his pen as an inkling of the various
scenes on the route :
»A Beautiful Scene—Death of a Wolf
ok the Plains.—During the late snow storm
on the Plains through which the Overland
stage route passes, the stage with passengers
for the East passed over the rolling prairie,
about twenty-five miles from Fort Chadbourne.
He sun rose from his frozen bed with more
than usual splendor—sending his brilliant
(beams across an almost illimitable field of
alect. The Musquite bushes were encased in
lee of half inch thickness, while every blade
of grass was varnished with the dazzling frost.
On this frozen field of ice the deer stood hud
dled together in shivering groups, while the
wolves ran howling on the frosty earth in
March of warmth and shelter. One very large
rad wolf approached the stage, and squatting
near the road, gave utterance to the most
mournful howls, and commenced licking his
stiffened chops, while gazing at the passengers.
Three revolvers were instantly brought to
bear upon this stranger on the road, when he
fell wounded at the first fire, biting and snap
ping at tlie side on which the ball nad en
tered. The passengers then dismounted and
fijfed two shots at his skull, but the balls glanced
ffom his cranium, and lie was only despatched
by the knife. He was dragged with great dif
ficulty from the road by two of the passengers,
and they represent his weight at over one hun
dred and fifty pounds. He died, snapping at
his slayers till the last gasp. The stage had
acarcely started on its journey before the icy
plain was alive with the howling wolves
hastening to feast upon their unfortunate
Companion.

The Thee Philosophy of Lite.—
Take life like a man. Take it just as
though it was—as it is—an earnest, vital,
essential affair. Take it as though it was
u grand opportunity to do and achieve, to
carry forward great and good schemes ;
to help and to cheer a suffering, weary, it
may be broken-hearted brother. The fact
is, life is undervalued by the great ma
jority of mankind. It is not made half as
much of as should be the case. Where
is the man or woman who accomplishes
one tithe of what might be done? Who
can not look back upon opportunities lost,
plans unachieved, thoughts crushed, aspi
rations unfulfilled, and all caused from
the lack of the necessary and possible ef
fort? If we know better how to “take and
make most of life, it would be far greater
than it is. Nowand then a man stands
aside from the crowd, labors earnestly,
steadfast, and straightway becomes famous
for wisdom, intellect, skill, greatness of
some sort. The world wonders, admires,
idolizes, and yet it only illustrates what
each may do if he takes hold of life with
a purpose. If a man but say he will, and
follows it up, there is nothing in reason
he may not expect to accomplish. There
is no magic, no miracle no secret to him
who is brave in heart and determined in
spirit. — [London Journal.
How often is it that in our youth
ful and unthoughfulness of disposition do
we misinterpret the meaning of friend
ship? Yes, too often do we indeed, mis
take pecuniary interest and selfishness as
friendship, “indeed.” The young and
unthoughtful man in his first starting out
in life dreams, or thinks, of nothing but the
unfolded mysteries of the future, and its
ever — as they may think — unending
field of pleasure and happiness. They
anticipate nothing but that which they
think will but realize their most earnest
and unwavering desires. All is bright
and joyous to them in the dismal future; but
alas! in the midst of their most earnest ex
pectations their hopes, and their long an
ticipated pleasures of this world are blas
ted. Youths often in their boyish and
unthougbtfulness of mind, have been led
astray, by those whom they had every
reason to believe were friends, and who,
were really, only seeking to entrap and
disgrace them. Many young men, who
would have been an honor and a pride to
their aged parents and an ornament to
society, have been thus led astray by those
ungenerous beings, misnamed friends.
“A friend in need, is a friend indeed,”
but those beings misnamed, friends,should

Power of Music.—Some years ago a
tall, gaunt, knock-kneed, red-headed hoos
ier, who was a hunter of the classical
Wabashee, conceived the idea of making
a visit to the home of his progeniture to
old Kaintuck. He did so—ranted round
amongst the girls some, and was, of course,
from his native impudence and unearthly
ugliness, the observed of all observers.
One morning the whole neighborhood was
astonished with the news that the unearthly
Hoosier had eloped with Mrs. B., an
amiable, good-looking woman, wife of
Mr. B., and mother of half a dozen little
B's. For two long years the disconsolate
husband mourned over his untoward be
reavement ; at the end of that period,
however, to his utter astonishment one
day, in popped Mrs. B., looking as bright
and rosy as ever. After the first joyful
greeting was over, the injured B. thu3
addressed his truant spouse: “Nancy,
how could you take up with that thar
onairthly ugly Hoosier, and leave me and
the children all forlorn as you did?"
“ Well, Josh, said Nancy, that thar ugly
critter from Indriany, was a little the best
whistler ; I used to think you could whis
tle some, but I never heerd whistlin’ as
whistled my senses clean away, and 1
followed him off on that account. A short
time ago, however, he caught the measles,
and they spilt his whistlin forever—the
charm was broken, and so I concluded to
comeback to you; but O, Josh! that
Hoosier was the awfullest whistler that
ever puckered.
New Mode of Wheat Culture.—A
writer in the Genesee Farmer says that
he has tried the cultivation of wheat in
hills like corn, having the hills two feet
apart each way, and two or three plants
to the hill. And he reports obtaining
from a small platt of ground a crop so
large as to be equal to two hundred bush
els to the acre. The soil is kept stirred
and cultivated during the growth of the
crop.

-Hon. W. L. Yancey, in consequence ol
ill health, has been compelled to leave Ala'
bama and resort to the Hot Springs of Ar'

What a Woman can do.—Some crus
ty old bachelor, we venture to say, has
perpetrated the following specimen of
masculine impertinence. Only hear him,
poor fellow:
“ A woman says what she pleases to
you without danger of getting knocked
down for it. She can take a snooze nfter
dinner, while her husband has to goto
work. She can go forth in the streets
without being invited to treat at every cof
fee-house. She can paint her face if it is
too pale, and flour it if too red. She can
wear corsets if too thick—other fixins if
loo thin. She can eat, drink and be mer
ry, without costing her a cent; and she
can get divorced from her husband when
she sees one she likes better.”
Anti-Bad Luck Society. — A society has
latiUy been formed at Bordeaux to put down
the superstitutions of evil omens. As every
body knows, it is bad hrck to begin anything
on Friday—or to sit down at a table with
thirteen—or to balance your chair on one leg
—or to spill salt between yourself and a friend;
the new society proposes to have regular din
ners on Friday, to have just thirteen guests
and to turn on one leg, spill salt all around
before commencing. In the one whole year
durjng which Ill-Luck has been thus defined,
no single fatality has occurred to any member!
-Stations are said to be fast springing
up on the great overland California route, and
the accommodations are rapidly increasing.
-The total population of St. Louis, ac
cording to the late census returns, is, 136,
330—of which 132,171 are whites, and 3,156
blacks. The number of slaves in the city is
only 1.454. About one half of the whites are
foreigners.
Delegate from Arizonia Territory.—
Lieut. Mowry has been elected delegate to
Congress from the Territory of Arizonla.
There were only about 600 votes polled, and
but four voting precincts. He will take his
seat early in the session of the ensuing Con
gress.
——- Although the constitution of the State
of Mississippi provides for only, biennial ses
sions of the Legislature, except in cases of
emergency, there have, nevertheless,been three
sessions in less than two years, and a fourth
must be had next year, conformably to law.
-A machine for breaking stones for
macadamizing streets, was tried in Chicago
recently. It was run by a ten horse engine,
and broke three cord of stone into egg sizes
in less than sixty minutes.
