A Tale OF ArazOna.

On the old Spanish maps the terri
tory of Arizona is called Arezuma,
and wild tradition, still prevalent
among the Puebla Indians, says it is
tie 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 sought her hand.
But she refused their offers, preferring
to remain iinwedded rather than to
link her fate and that of her people to
a strahgs land. Wars fe5Hlted, in
which the Indian Boadicea led her
swarthy warriors to battle: After
years Of terrible strife, during which
the rivers ran bIoood and cities were
laid in ruins, the followers Of AreEu-
ma were overpowercd. Then prof
fers of peace came again from a South
ern king, but Grezuma received them
not. With few warriors she left the
land she could not rule, and new
er was heard Of again. Some think
she will return with Montezuma to re-
deem the Aztec race. Others say she
died in the mountains with her SOL
diers. Her spirit visits Ell San Fran.
cisco, and often whom the Indian hun
ters pass through the forests in the
pale moonlight, they Sear the sighing
Of the Aztec Queen. And some say
they havc seen forni Of beauty pass
ing toward, the snow peaks, dres6ed
in white and gold bearing in one
hand a silver bow, and in the other a
duver from which aII the arrows have
been fired. ,-,I.s.;. ....
After the conquest Of Mexico many
Spanish advonturers led exploring
parties into this land, among them
Cornado and MicaS, who returned to
speak in extravaganza terms Of the
number Of people and immense wealth
found IN the mountains along CoIora-
do. The people they met have passed
away or degenerated; but the beauti-
fuI landscapes remain.

Josh Billings on Bed Bugs.

never sec ennybody yet but what
despised bed bugs. They are the
meanest nv aul crawling, creeping,
hopping, or biteing things.
They dassent tackle a man bi dS-
lite, but sneak in, after dark, and
chaw him while he il fast asleep.
A musketo will fight, you in broad
dalite, at short range, and give you
q chance tew knock in his sides-the
flea IS a game bug, and will make a
dash at you even in Broadway-but
the bed bug is a garroter, who waits
till you strip, and then picks out a
mellow place to eat you.
If I was in the habit Nv swearing l
wouldn't hesitate tew damn bed bug
right tew his face.
Bed bugs are uncommon smart in =
small way one pair of them will
stock hair mattress in 2 weeks with
bugs enuf tew last q small family a
whole year
1t don't. do emmy good to pray when
bed bugs are in season the only
way tew git rid nv them is tew pile
up the whole bed in acquafortis, and
then heavo it away and buy q new
one.
Bed bugs, when they have grone
aul they intend to, are about the size
OF bIaeiay's eye and hay brown
complexion, and when they start out
to garrote are as thin az grease spot,
but when Hey git thru garroting they
are swelled up IKE blister.
It takes them three days to git the
swelling out Nv them.
If bed bugs, have emmy destiny to
fill, it must be their stummuks; but 1t
seems tew me that they must have
been made by acksident, just as. sliv-
yers arc, tew stick into somebody.
If they waz got up for some wise
purpose, they must have took the
wrong road, for there kant be emmy
wisdntn In ehawing amau aul night
long; and raising family, besides, to
follow the same trade.
If there IL sum wisdom, IN aul this,
I hope the bugs will chaw them folks
who katl see II, and leave me, be-
cause I ath one ug the hereticks.

To Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Wash
iDgton, b. 9.
1t is not true, as reported this ev-
ening, that Mr.. Stanton made no OBJ
lection to Adjutant General Thomas
entering on the duties of Secretary
Of War. 1t is true, however, that
when Gen. Thomas Eshowed to Mr..
Stanton his order of appointment
from the President, the General re-
ceived respectful but not satisfactory
reply.
The Senate, at fvo minutes aftcr 2
o'clock, went into executive session
and continued therein seven hours.
The matter of Mr.. Stanton's removal
was fully discussed and with much
spirit, in secret session. Mr.. Edmunds
offered a resolution, for which Mr..
Wilson moved substitute, as follows:
Whereas, The Senate have receiv-
ed and considered the communication
of the President. stating that he had
removed Edwin NJ. Stanton as Secre-
tary of War, and has designated the
Adjutant General of the army as Sec
retary of War ad interim therefore,
ReSolUed by the Senate Of the Uni
ted States, That under the constitu-
ton and laws OF the United States,
the President has no power to remove
the Secretary of War and designate
some officer to perform the duties of
that Office.
This substitute was agreed to with
out division. The injunction of se-
cresy was removed from it, and cop
les Of tho resolution ordered to be
communicated to the President, Sec
retary of War and Adj. Gen. Thomas.
Many persons were attracted to
the vicinity of the Senate tonight,
but were prevented from entering the
galleries. The subject of the remov-
al of Mr.; Stanton and other matters
connected with it afford promipent
feature of comment everywhere to-
night. ~
A special to the Post says that soon
after the Senate went into executive
session, committee, consisting of
Messrs. Cameron, Chandler, Catteli
and Thayer, proceeded to the war Of
fee and informed Mr. Stanton that
pending any action, the Senate was
desirous that he should retain the Of
fee, and disregard any orders from
the President to the contrary. The
committee also waited upon General
Grant and had an interview with
him, expressing themselves as entirely
satisfied with his position regarding
this matter.
Secretary Stanton StiII retains pos.
session of the War Department, and
was there at a late hour last night.

nominations to the Senate to-day;
