A Tale of Arizona.

On the Spanish maps the territory Of
Arizona called Arezuma, and wild tradi-
tioL is still prevalent among the Pueblo In.
dians, says it is the name Of an Aztec Queen,
who once ruled over the plains and noun
tains stretching away to the Western waters.
She was white and beautiful, and two rival
kings Of the South sought her hand. But
she refused their offers prefering to remain
unwedded rather than link her fate and that
Of her people to strange laud. Wars re-
suited, in which the Indian Boadicca led her
swartby warriors to battle After years of
terrible strife, during which the rivers ran
blood and the cities were laid in ruins, the
followers Of Arezuma we're overpowered.-
Then proffers Of peace came again from
Southern king, but Arezuma received them
not With few warriors she left the land
she could not rule, and never was heard Of
again. Some think she will return with
Montozuma to redeem the Aztec race. 9th
ers say she died in tho mountains with her
soldiers. Her spirit visits Fl San Francisco,
and often when the Indian hunters pass
through the forests in the pale moonlight,
they hear the signing Of the Aztec Queen.
And some say they have seen form Of
beauty passing towards the snow peaks,
dressed in white and gold, bearing in one
hand silver bow, and in the other quiver
from which all the arrows had been fired.-
After the conquest of Mexico, many Spanish
adventurers led exploring parties into this
land; amongst them Coronado and Micas,
who returned tospeak in extravagant terms
Of the number Of people and immense wealth
found in the mountains Of Colorado The
people they met have passed away or dcgen-
Grated, but tho beautiful landscapes and
wealth remain. ,.,'i.,..,...,,,-,... .-.,..fi

JOHNNY STEELE, tho "oil prince" Of two
years ago, who for some time enjoyed the
pleasant little income Of $4,000 day, on
Thursday last, we learn from the Erie Dis
patch, filed a voluntary petition Of bank
ruptcy in the United States District Court
at Pittsburg. After Johnny had lost his
property he was obliged to earn living by
by driving an oil team, and later still, BY
tending the door Of. a minstrel show which
he started with his own money. His in
debtedness, as set forth in bis petition,
amounts to 100000. Some of the items
are quite heavy, fcw Of which We note: -
To Henry W. Kanaya, Of the Girard House
Philadelphia, he owes sl9,s24; j. +. Cald.
we'll & Co., Philadelphia, for jewelry, $5,-
500; John D. Jones, for harness, $l,25O /;
W. Horne l. Co.. for cigars, $562 +. H.
Conklin, Philadelphia, liquors, $2,o24 !;
Phelan 4 Collender, Philadelphia for bill
lard tables, 1880; to an unknown credit
or, for oil paintings, $4,000; to the account
for hats, $500. A considerable a,nount.of {
his Indebtedness is for money borrowed,
notes, judgments, etc. When Johnny
took notion to rent hotel for few days,
he would do SO and whenever he saw any
thing that pleased hissfancy, he was bound
to have it, regardless Of cost. Perhaps no
man in the United States ever squandered
as much money in the spaoe'of time.

{ EFFICACY OF ONIoNs.-A writer says
We are troubled often with severe coughs,
the result Of colds of long standing, which
may turn, to consumption or premature
death. Hard coughs cause sleepless nights
by constant irritation of the throat, and q
strong effort to throw of offensive matter
from the lungs. Tho remedy I propose has
been tried by me, and recommended BY mo
with good results, which is simply to take
into the stomach before retiring for the
night piece Of raw onion, after chewing.
This csculent in an uncooked state is very
heating, and collects the water from the
lungs and throat, causing immediate relief
to the patient. a a.,f rs r
THE Horticultural says that although an
imal manures are said to be injurious 10

that old, well rotted barnyard manure may
be applied to them with the best possible

As baby sleeps.

The Renegades,

The most internal whelrs in the whole
yelping pack Of mongrel-negro hell.hounds
arc the prominent converts from the Demo-
cratic party made by bribes of military COM
missions, or the prospect Of plundcr during
the civil war-as, for instance, the trimmer
and tyraut' Stanton, who was made Secreta-
ry Of War, and exercised authority in a
manner for which despotie is mild term
Holt, whose blood-tbirsty disposition ovinced
itself on every occasion of trial by court mar
tial or military commission in which he took
part; Butler (the beast) who was made a
general, without capacity, played. the black
guard, tyrant and thief at New Orleans, bot
tied himself at Dutch Gap, and is now one
of the mcancst wrctchcs and most contempt
iblc scoundrels that compose the catalogue
of namcs that form the present infamous
Congress; Logan, Of Illinois, who las Mrs.
Lincoln allcgcs,) was bought by a Colonel 5
commission, low fellow, without talent, ge-
nious or principle, whose time is almost
wholly absorbed in doing the slang talk and
general dirty work Of The party; he, too, is
a member Of the present Infamous" rump,
which has done its worst to subvert the gov
ernment and subject the country to military
rule. These and such as these, rcncgades
from the Democratic ranks, arc foremost
among the very lowest and worst Of the bad
men who are now ruling the country to its
ruin. But there is comfort in the thought
that the day of their mis.used power is
drawing to close, and that they will sosn
