Everywhere DIsbelieved.

By way of keeping our readers measurably posted on the national reputation the base wretch Colyer has acquired, we must give occasional ex- tracts from leading Eastern papers. He put up false statement as to why the Apaches perpetrated the Wicken- berg massacre, and in connection with the presentation of the Arizona petl- ton to the President, The New York Tribune goes on to say:
 In pretty sharp contrast with the representations of the Arlzonians IS an ingenious but highly improbable de- fense of the Apaches who made the attack on the Wickenburg stage, i'll which F. W. Loring and others were killed. MT. Colyer's case is not very we'll made out; and, now that t is settled that Apaches committed those murders, it is not easy to see how they can be explained on any other hypoth- esis than that which considers the In dians on the warpath.

Mss MARY SAFFoRD an eminent sister of the Governor, has within a year past received many just con- pliments, by the home and European press, like the following which we clip from Hearth and Home:
 Miss Mary Stafford, the lady phy- sician who has spent the last few years in the great hospitals of Vienna and Breslau, preparing herself for the e ,tablishment of woman's hospital in this country, seems to have brought back with her the same plucky spirit of self sacrifice which made her labor night and day during our late war, foregoing the comforts of her home for the sake of the soiled heroes whose wounds she dressed so skillfully. Her frail form was sadly broken down when she arrived in this city on the Sth of October, after voyage during which she could scarcely raise her head for illness. But badly as she needed rest, she hastened to Chicago, saying to friend, "I had intended going to Chicago in her prosperity, and now that she is in distress can not stay away. I may be able to do some good as a physician; but at any rate there is work there for me as woman. and can cook food for the starving if nothing more." Such a woman will find work in plenty for her hand to do; and there are hundreds in Chicago who will have reason to join with her former soldier-patients in calling Mary Stafford blessed

False Reports Corrected.

It is with regret we notice that well-meaning correspondent at Tue son recently imposed upon the good San Diego Union. The Union is this Territory's fast friend, and the corre- spondent has caused it to publish fearful falsehood against this people. After the jury in the " Camp Grant massacre" case returned their verdict of not guilty, the Tucson correspon- dent says:
 At this point the Judge remarked that he had heard the report that after the trlal should be over, he (the Judge) and the Grand Jurors who found the indictment against the defendants were to be burned in effigy. So far as he was personally con- cerned they might burn him in etfigy to their hearts content, so the flames did not touch him; but if they burned anybody else connected with the prosecution o1 this case, he would regard it as breach of order and use the whole power of the Court to suppress it.
 We never knew a well-meanlng writer to put forth a baser statement. True, the Judge said substantially what is reported, but the important facts that not three men in Tucson ever thought of burning the Grand Jury in effigy, and not one ever hinted at the like towards the Judge, were too notorious to have been omitted in statement like the above. It has sent abroad another most foul slander upon this people, who for their law abiding qualities have no superiors ac- cording to numbers-especially talk inc all the actual citizens into the account. Tucson has a population of 3,2OO, and we are quite certain that no town in the world of its size can show brighter police record than 1t can for the past twelve months; and vet such infamous reports are sent abroad.
 In this connection it is due to truth to say that it was freely talked that U. s. District Attorney Rowell should have been burned in effigy, and some favored the act; and we now say as a matter of primitive justice, by no means without parallel in older com- munities, that said Attorney ought to have not only been burned in effigy, but tarred and feathered and rode out of town on a lively cactus. Still, such was the desire to preserve the good name of a too much slandered community, he was permitted to leave heartily despised by forty-nine tif- tieths of the good citizens. From time to time, we will state why Rowell is so justly odious.

HORACE GREELEY's head IS level on most subjects. He understands the creature man pretty well. and espe cially that kind of man whose vanity is his chief accomplishment, and whose value to mankind is always doubtful, therefore the philosopher has written this:
 We may pay some man a hundred compliments, and give him dozen puffs, and he takes 1t as tribute to his greatness, and never thinks of it. never thinks it does him any good. But if we happen to say anything that this very man don t like, or some thing that he imagines is reflection on his character, see how quick he flares up and gets mad about it.

THE HUMAN FACE,

A wise man can read most of our pri
vate history in our face. Only think Of
it! Here is little patch of white surface
nine inches long and six wide and YET
the whole possibility of human feeling
and purpose resides in it. There is the
brow, sometimes clear and upright, re-
fecting back Leaven's blue gaze, some
times lowering a nd clouded with con
scious unrest. There is the cheek, some
times tinged and glowing with pleasure,
sometimes blanched with Indignation.
There is the eye, that cbiefest tell-tale of
human nature, sometimes yelled with
sottness and pity, sometimes mirrored
with incarnate good, then kindled with
fires of passion, or sharpened like a dag
ger with hate and malice. There is every
line and feature clothed with moral ex-
preston
A mans face is the front of his house.
One in looking at 1t is sure to see the
kind of inhabitants he keeps within. At
the doors and at the windows the in
mates show themselves both angels and
demons.
No concealmcnt can keep them long
out of sight. There are faces that dom
ineer and faces that devour-faces that
magnetic and faces that repel. Some
are sinister, some truthful, some pleading,
some frowning, some full of faith, others
of doubt and melancholy; some on which
peace lights like holy dove, and others
Scared and furrowed with the storms of
passion. Mans face is the bulletin board
of his heart and of his life. Oh, it is a
very glory to watch this human face
this dial-plate of the soul-when men
meet to grasp hands and interchange
thoughts! Not grandeur in the ever-va-
rying beauty of the landscape, with it's
light and shades its hills and fields, its
mountains and rivers, than the sublime
movings of the soul on the face of man
-movlngs that are now joyous, now
afflicted, now softened now impassioned
now struggling to conceal pang or a
rapture. IT'S silent orchestra, thrilling
In undertone with the richest, fullest and
saddest music of the heart
Ofall the expression possible to the
Countenance we think the most significant
and distinctive is laughter. Laughter
can mean pleasure, or mockery, or ap-
plause, or sorrow, or triumph, or despair.
It expresses what the speech cannot. 1t
is the flower that blooms on the dry, hard
stem of social talk. Dull were the life in
which there was no laughter, and as bad
too, l fear. Men of guilt don't often
laugh, or if they do, tbs a laugh that
scorches and sears them to the very quick
But with most men It's the childist
romping of the spirit within, the riotous
outbreak of pleasure and delight and
sympathy.

A PRESCRIPTION FOR CHRIsTMAs.-It is not
too late to keep Christmas after the recipe
of the old Hartford Courant IF you have
any quar- rel with anybody, any enmity, any
grudge or bitter feeling toward any man or
woman, 90 and make it up. Don't tell them
you forgive them unless you want row, but
ask their pardon-which is the only way to
reach the offending party, and of course your
neighbor is the offending party. This sounds
a good deal like Sunday school advice, as it
is written out but we do not intend 1T. We
offer it an original suggestion, as the most
satisfactory form for Christmas present.
The private settling up of these outstanding
accounts would sweeten up the coming year,
and make it vastly more enjoyable than it
will be if we go on, and carry over the bal
ances against our neighbors. We make this
bona fide offer: That if any man, who settles
ulp standing enmity of this sort however
slight, in this holiday season, will come to
US afterward and tell us, truly, that he feels
no better for it, we will give him years
subscription to the oldest paper in America,
and let him sit down and read our files for
the Last hundred and odd years for nothing.

FRONTIER SANG FRoID The following
story is told of the early days of Wyoming
Territory In the bar.room of a wayside tav-
ern, where the stage stopped to change
horses and where teamsters tarried to drink,
few rough customers sat one afternoon be-
side the stove. Enter mountain ruffan,
venomously drunk, who fetched out his re-
volver and commenced practicing with it at
various objects behind the bar and on the
walls. While this was going on, the cries of
an ox-teamster to his approaching cattle
were heard and soon the driver appeared
Within the door. Stalking upto the bar he
called for glass ofliquor but, as he raised
it to his dirty lips, the tumbler was shattered
by well-simed shot from the practicing
mans revolver. Without q word the bull
whacker put his hand behind his back, pro-
duced has pistol, leveled it at the ruffian's head
and remarked, as the body dropped to the
floor, THAT id scoundrel would have hurt
somebody pretty soon." He then filed an
other glass and drank the contents, strobe
out as deliberately as he had come in, and
with 9 Woa, haw, there p started his OK
en- up the road.

Andy Williams, who was recently hanged

Andy Williams, who was recently hanged
near Chattanooga, Tenn, was carried to the
place of execution on a chartered steamboat,
which took passengers at the rate of 81. so for
the round trip. The condemned expressing
desire to be baptized, a rough tooka long
pull at his whiskey bottle, then went to the
river and filled 1t with water with which he
slightly impregnated with high wines, the
minister performed the ceremony. The
fall was insufficient, and Andy was strangl-
ed. There where no shovels to fill in the
earth over his dead body, and it was kick.
ed in by the boots of the men.

Temporary insanity, as defense in
murder TRIALS, is falling in disfavor, even
among New York juries. In the case OF
Sullivan, lately tried, eleven doctors took
the stand and swore that he was insane.
A professional phrenologist also testified
that the accused was of a very low order
of intelligence-half brute, in fact; but
the jury did not consider his brutal pro-
pensities justification for murder, and
he is under sentence of death.

notorious scamp was once brought before
an Onondaga justice OF the peace. He was
accused of having "come the strap game"
overa native The portly justice, wishing to
decide Understandings, asked to see a sam
pie of his skill. THE party" instantly pro-
duced leather strap, gave it a scientific
whick across the bench, and remarked ::
You see, Judge, the quarter under the
strap"
"Whatl" interrupted the dignifed func.
tionary, !" do you mean to say there is q
quarter under there?'
"Sartin ~ was the reply. Afaa
mo such thing" said the Justice. D
"I'll go you a dollar on it !" exclaimed
the prisoner.
6 Agreed ~ said the Justice. ~
With accustomed adrotners the strap was
Withdrawn, when 10 there was the quarter.
"Well ~ said the astonshed Shallow.
wouldn't have believed it if hadn't seen it
with my own eyes. Here is your dollar. And
you ere fined five dollars for gambling, COZ
trary to the statute in such case made and
provided !" -
The elongated countenance of the gambler
required no additional evidence to testify his
appreciation of "the sell"
