4 Story of the French Revolution

The following narrative came from the
Marchioness of --, the principal ac-
tor in the drama, whose veracity is beyond
all doubt:
1t was cold, disagreeable day in July,
1898; the rain was falling thick and fast,
accompanied by chill wind and, dull
gray clouds entirely concealed the blue
sky; all nature, in short, seemed in mourn
ing for the crimes of the earth. Every
thing was very gloomy, too, in Paris, the
streets dirty, the houses damp, and the
cofee-rooms deserted; it was still worse
with the inhabitants, for there was whis-
pered report of new massacres, and every
body was apprehensive for those he loved
as we'll as for himself. The bad weather
gave new force to gloomy forebodings and
SILL further increased the general disquiet-
ude anu :clarm. People are much bolder
in the bright sunshine.

of the Two Pigeons, young and pretty
woman, in the costume worn by the COM

the keepest anguish. Her pale and care

A Sensible Colored Preacher.


The Rev. Thompson o. Bannon, col
ored minister on Acklaud plantation,
Black river, Louisiana, writes letter to
the editor of the Harrisonburg (Catahou-
Ia parish) Mew Era, in which he makes
the following sensible remarks:
My attention has been called to the
fact that my name has been placed as a
member of the parish executive committee
Of the Republican party, &c. I beg leave
to state, through the columns of your pa
per, that this has been done without my
knowledge or consent; and further, that
my convictions lead me to act. politically,
in concert with my old neighbors and
friends of this vicinity, who have general
ly extended cheerfully to the colored peo-
pie of the parish all the political rights
and privileges due them in their changed
relations, and give them liberal wages
and support for themselves and families.
In my opinion the best interests of the
colored people require them to stand by
and sustain those with whom they have
been raised and they know to be honest,
true and faithful to the promises to their
race. There exists mutual dependence,
which is fsst producing state of mutual
confidence, kindness and good feeling
which l trust and believe will soon be
firmly established. Experience teaches
US to be suspicious Of the promises oI
those made by we don't know whom, OF
when or where to find.

man got out Of window on to the porch.
which soon separated from the building,
and after many changes he caught into a
large tree, where he found Mr.. Ridgely,
whose wife had previously perished.-
These two men remained in the tree until
Saturday morning. DR.. G.. S. Roy and
r. B. Bayly, Esq, of Front Royal, went
out in boat to rescue the men, but lost
their boat, and they had to take refuge in
a tree, and remained there all night, but
were rescued. A girl about fourteen
years of age passed down the river on a
log. She was Of Mr.. Blakemore's family.
One house came down with the family
standing at the windows. The house
struck one of the piers of the railroad
bridge and went to atoms. The inmates
were all drowned. All kinds of goods,
farming implements, furniture, grain,
houses and barns. &C., &C.. passed down,
and a piano from Page county. The citi-
zens of Front Royal we're early out to the

the many kindnesses and attentions paid
him and family by DR.. Turner and Tbos.
N. Ashby, Esq, and their families. and
of the valuable services rendered him by
the Masonic fraternity of Front Royal.

Equality.

An old Scotch minister on being asked
to preach sermon in favor Of equality,
at time of great excitement on that sub
iect, said, at the close of his sermon, in
substance as follows: 6IsZ uas -at-z
You asked me to preach . sermon on
equality. Since that time [ have ranged

trees of unequal height and value, grasses

saw the trained horses and fierce beasts Of
prey, the linnet and the hawk, the spar

horse, each occupying relative sphere.

ONLY A WORD.
A frivilous word, a sharp retc

A frivilous word, sharp retort,
A parting in angry haste,
The sun that rose on a bower of bliss,
The loving look and the tender kiss,
Has set on barren waste,
Where pilgrims tread with weary feet
Paths destined never more to meet.
A frivolous word, sharp retort,
A moment that blots out years,
Two lives are wrecked on stormy shore,
Where billows of passion surge and roar
To break in a spray of tears
Tears shed to blind the severed pair
Drifting seaward and drowning there.
A frivolous word, sharp retort,
A flash from passing cloud,
Two hearts are scathed to their utmost core,
Are ashes and dust for evermore.
Two faces turn to the crowd,
Masked by pride with lifelong lie,
To hide the scars of that agony.
A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
Alas that it should be so!
The petulant speech, the careless tongue,
Have wrought more evil, and done more wron!
Have brought to the world more woe
Than all the armies age to age
Records on history's blood-stained page.

The Flood in the Shenandoah Valley


The Washington Star says: Mr.. John
B. Thomas, formerly of Georgetown, D..
c., who, for the past twelve months has
been residing at Riverton, in Warren
county, Virginia. and in charge of the
Front Royal Lime Company's works at
that point, arrived in town yesterday, and
states that he witnessed the great food on
the Shenandoah. It commenced raining
on Wednesday afternoon, very gently,
and continued so all night and on Thurs
day. On Thursday night it came down
in torrents. He noticed the river 81 o.
clock on Thursday night, and it was not
past fording. At 81 o'clock on Friday
morning the water had risen eighteen feet,
and was still rising so rapidly that he had
barely time to escape with his family,
which consisted Of himself, wife and child,
h,s sister and aunt, Miss M. A. Thomas.

him visit. The water rose at the rate
of forty feet in abv1t five hours. His

the lime kilns Of the company. Cason &
Co.'S lime works are ruined. Weston,
Gone & Leut's mill sustained considerable
injury. They lost their barn filed with
hay. Mr.. Fleteher's house went away
with entire contents; the family just had
time to escape. Mr.. Phil. Smiths steam
saw mill was also washed away. Mr..
Blakemore lost his -four mill. dwelling
and outbuildings, but six members Of bis
family-himself. wife and four children,
two sons-were saved. Mr.. Ridgely and

Operations about Mcdowell.

OpcEdtEOUS dDOut InCDOWCtI
We take the following interesting
items from q letter received from a
friend at Camp Mcdowell, of date
Nov. Goth, 1915:
Capt. Moulton, with detachment of
company c, LIST Cav, made scout Q
few days since toward the Pinal noun
tains, and succeeded in making an
everlasting treaty with four big bucks
of the Apache tribe. The Captain had
two men seriously wounded in the en-
gagement, but under the skiIlful treat
ment of the field surgeon, DR.. Evans,
who was with the scout, they soon re-
covered.
On the 10th inst, while the Pima
Indians, who had been on a scout,
were returning home through the
canyon some six miles below this post,
they were attacked by the Apaches.
One Pima was killed and one wound
ed they also had one horse killed
One Of the PimaS returned to this post
to inform the commanding officer, Col.
Sanford, of what had occurred. The
Colonel, with troop E, and Captain
Moulton with troop G, 1st Cav, i'm
mediately started in pursuit of the
Apaches, but the latter had too much
the start. l understand, however, that
the Colonel with few of his men got
in sight of the Apaches, but the latter
were III the canyons and gorges, and
consequently We're safe.
Yesterday party Of % prospectors
left this region for Pinal creek, about
100 miles east OF this post, to prospect
what is believed here to be the richest
mine that has ever been discovered yet.
Cal. Jackson, and one or two others
who accompanied Capt. Moulton on
his recent scout, prospected the same
mine this party are going to, and
brought with them some very fine ore.
Indeed, | have heard some old Nevada
miners say that it is the best looking
rock they have seen outside Of Wash
oe. This party seem to be well pro-
vided for stay of from % to 80 days,
and hope they will be successful in
realizing their most sanguine expecta-
tons The party is under the leader
ship Of Mr.. Junior better known in
Arizona as Black Jack, a man well
acquainted with the Apache character,
therefore well qualified to lead party
through that dangerous portion Of the
Territory.
A few nights ago the Apaches broke
into Messrs. Kinds & Rockers corral,
at this post, and took out eleven head
Of cattle, without any one hearing
them, although several men slept near
it.

EDITOR CITIZEN:- The election is
ever, and the result gratifies most
people, while it may mortify few
who had foolishly staked their money
on the defeated candidate. The wall
ing and crashing Of teeth of the Arr
conan is really amusing. The stating
that the vote of the ella River was
legally cast because Brady received a
Apaches are on the war path, and last
Sunday killed Messrs. Bullock and
Freligh between Big Bug mill and
Aqua Frio ranch, and on Tuesday
killed Thomas Rutledge on Smith
ranch, about i miles from town.
There are no soldiers here to go after
these marauding wretches, and every
successful raid they make encourages
them to still holder operations.
Nov. IS. The mail from western
and southern Arizona came in last
night, and the election returns from
Pima and Yuma counties settled the
question that Mccormick is reelected
by large majorities, and exposed the
rotten foundation on which Mr.. Brady
based his hopes Of election. Those
who were his friends here feel as tho
they had been sold cheap on learning
that Tucson, Brady's own home for
years gave about 200 majority against
him, and talk that the next democrat
ic candidate must be nominated by a
territorial convention, not by u Tucson
tea party.
The CITIZEN of the 9TH came here
this morning, and the numbers dis
tributed gratis by Postmaster Barnard
were eagerly scanned by those who
received them. The paper is a spicy,
lively number, and though its proph-
ecy that Iavapai county would go for
Mccormick was not fulfilled, It did
not miss the mark as The Miner did
in its predictions concerning the ger
eral result, that's some comfort.
Governor Stafford took with him to
Tucson list Of subscribers for the
CITIZEN, and the cash to pay for the
same, having faith that the Apaches
will not scalp that CITIZEN for some
time to come, and that it will contin-
ne to be published for a term or two,
the statements of the Mowry-Brady
party that it would wind up after
election, that 1t was only campaign
paper, ETC.. notwithstanding.
Several persons in Prescott have de-
clared their intentions TO write occa-
sionally for the CITIZEN, and if they
keep their word you will be well pos
ted on events in this vicinity, ard the
public will not be obliged to satisfy

PicachO or Chimney Peak Mines,

This district is in the vicinity Of
arizona City, and is about as distinct
ly indicated as Castle Dome, by ma
ture; and as a placer and quartz gold
mining region, its name viii soon be
much wider known. Mr.. J. 5. Spann,
of Arizona City, started some men out
on the Goth inst, to prepare a site for
"a ten-stamp quartz mill, the machi-
merry for which has been at the land
ing for some time. The mine is forty
miles up, and six back from the river,
and there is already a good wagon
road ont to where the work is doing
Some MeXicans have an arrastrar at
work there, and considerable gravel
mining has been done and is still car
ried on, but depending greatly on the
poor supply Of water for that purpose.
It would seem that those mining in
terests along the Colorado as far up
as navigable, ought to be worked sue
cessfully, if any can be, on account of
the convenience to supplies. There is
double advantage on this score-the
river route and the one via San Diego,
and we may say by Los Angeles, are
in competition, and machinery, etc,
should be laid down reasonably at all
seasons. The probabilities are that
soon hereafter, good accounts will
come in regularly from all parts ofthe
western end of the Territory.
