III News From RalStOn.

M. l.. Power, Chas. G. Meyer, Henry Sidentof and J. H. Curtis pass ed through Tucson, early this week, for San Francisco. MT. Power has been in charge of the Roberts HAr- pending mining property, but recently received an order from MT. Roberts to suspend all operations and report ill San Francisco, for the following reas- ons:
 First, that owing to distance from supplies and cost of transportation, the mines could not be operated at pro- fit; second, that the hostility of the Indians made it exceedingly danger ous, and third, that the passage of the Texas Pacific bill in :ures the construc- tion of railroad by these mines in two or three years, and then work could be advantageously resumed. MT. Rob- erts requested that the mining laws be so amended that titles would hold good during the period named, with out further attention. This company having taken the above steps, we may conclude that Ralston will be little else than a way-station on the over land road for some years to come, and also that it may be accepted as fact that however much silver ore there may be at the Burro mines, it Is of a low grade, and cannot be reduced at a profit, except under the most favora- ble conditions. This has been the opinion of many hereabouts for months past.

THE San Diego Union is strongly advocating complete adoption of the greenback currency, anc cites sound reasons why there should be no further delay, at least so far as San Diego is concerned.
 We have always believed the Pacific States and Territories made and per sisted in bad mistake in refusing to accept as their currency that declared to be legal tender by the United States. It is capable of demonstra- tion that capitalists have refused to invest on the Pacific coast because of the coin currency in use, to the exclu- sion of greenbacks-except as mer- ohandise. California coin has not built much railroad on streets and paper-whereas the national greenbacks have pushed forward every considerable enterprise oD sea and land. New Workers are appealed to for money, and when they offer their money, they are told to go to 8 broker and buy our money, to gratify fool ish whim of the many and sordid design of the gold kings of California and Montgomery streets.

Castle Dome District.

As most of our readers know, this district lies about sixty miles above Arizona City, within few miles of the Colorado river. For the past six months, increased activity has been prevailing there, until now ore is be- ing shipped to San Francisco by lots of 100 tons and upwards. and the pro fit has been very encouraging to the operators. The success attending mining in Castle Dome District has stimulated renewal of work in other districts adjacent to the Colorado, es- pecially in Sacramento District in Mojave county, and the prospect Is that unusual mining activity Is begin ing to prevail at many places along the river. Messrs Hooper, Whiting & Go. are largely instrumental in bring ing about this business activity on our western border, and we ara pleased that their Castle Dome mine is pay ing them handsomely. The fact Is that Arizona is rich in gold. silver and other not less needed minerals, and will soon rank high in mineral pro ducts.

walking with God in calmer and bet
ter world. Ibeseech you, then, live for
eternity. Go to the worm that. you
tread upon, and learn a lesson Of wis
dom. The very caterpillar seeks the
food that fosters it for another and
brighter state, and more wisely than
man builds its own sepulchre, from
whence in time by kind Of resurrection
il comes forth new creature in almost
an angelic form. And nov, that which
crawled flies, and that which fed on
comparatively gross food, laps the dew
that revels in the rich pastures, an EN-
blem of that paradise where flows the
river Of life and grows the tree Of life.
Could the caterpillar have been diverted
from its proper element and mode Of
life, il it had never attained the butter

her ways and be wise. Let it not be
said that you are more negligent than
worms, and that your reason is less
available than their instinct. As often
as the butterfly flies across your path,
remember what it whispers in its flight,

With this the preacher closed his dis
course; but to deepen the impression, a
butterfly, directed by the Hand which
guides alike the sun and an atom in its
course, auttered through the church, as
il commissioned by heaven to repeat the
exhortation. There was neither speech
nor language, but its voice was heard
saying to the gazing audience, Live

A TURK a. wasn't a Turk,

We find the following going the rounds,
1t may have been published in this
paper before, but no matter = like
Cousin Sally billiard, it will bear repe-
tition ffta
During the operations Of the allies in
the Crimea, it was resolved to carry the
water in from beautiful spring to the
camp. Leather pipe or hose was en-
ployed, which was laid on the ground
One morning, while the water was being
supplied the minaret sounded to prayer,
and one of the Turkish soldiers imme-
diately went flop upon ms knees to
praise Allah Unfortunately, he went
down on the hose, and his weight conse-
quently stopped the current of that
" first of elements" as Pindar calls
water.
h 2 Get upi cried an English soldier.
i"Voulez vous aves la bonte, mon cher
Monsieur lie Turque," cried French
man, with bis native politeness, =" to get
up"
'"That amt the way to make a Turk
move" cried another "this is the dodge.
So SAYING, he knocked his turban off.
Still the pious Mussulman went on with
his devotions.
"I'Il make him stir his stumps," said
another Englishman, giving him re-
markably hard kick. To the wonder OF
all, still the unturbaned, well kicked for
the love of the prophet, went on praying
as though he was forty-horse parson.
"Hoot awe. mon; III show We how we
serve obstinate folks at auld Reeaie,
quietly observed Scotchmau. He was,
however prevented, for the Turk, having
finished his "Allah Wis en- allah, rose
and began to take off his coat, then to
roll up his sleeves, and then to bedew
his palms with saliva, and then to put
himself into the most approved boxing
attitude. He then advanced in true
style to the Englishmsn who had kicked
him on the lumbar region. .ss.....
4a Aringl ringI" shouted the soldiers
and sailors, perfectly astonished to see o
Turk such an adept IN the fstic art.
The Englishman, nothing loth'to have
bit of fun with the Turk of such a truly
John Bull state of mind, set to work, but
found he had met his master--in five
miHutes he had received his granium
suficit. As the Turk coolly replaced
his coat and turban, he turned round
and said to the admiring bystanders, in
the pure brague:
Bad luck to We, ye spalpeensi wher
we're afther kicking Turk, Id advise
We the next time to jist be sure he mo-
an Irishman.

The Various COIOrs of Diamonds
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Few people are aware of the many
gradations Of color through which this
precious stone ranges, nor are they cog
infant of the effect these tints have on
the commercial value of the stone. OF
course the first place is accorded to
what is called diamond Of pure water.
This means perfectly colorless stone,
free from every possible shade. Per
haps the lowest place is given 20 q yel-
low stone, though there is peculiarly
ruddy brown, most delicate meance
which ameteurs especially prize. The
reasons for lowering the standard of the
diamond are simply the law Of supply
and demand. If it resembles slightly
the tint of topaz, it has, however, an in
herent fire and brilliancy which make
the humber topaz to become absolutely
dim BY comparison. The diamond
known as the Australian yellow, of one
hundred and thirty-nine and one-half
carats, is Of this nature, but unfortu-
nately so deep in tone as TO somewhat
impair its fire. The blue diamond,
where the azure of the sapphire is
combined with the natural lustre Of the
QlamOnuf tue Iosc-SOiOKcuf iultotiue tHc
FIRE Of the ruby; the green diamond, RI
yaling the emerald, are rarer shades.
When these colors are intense, wnsn the
depth Of tone is positive, they become
rarities Of untold price, and are. fancy
stones, on which no positive value can
be placed. Milky stones, with black
diamonds, save for the industrial arts,
have, as ornaments, no especial worth.
Some very remarkable experiments have
been instituted to change the color Of
diamonds. 1t would be secret worth
untold fortunes could we succeed in
even depriving a yellow diamond Of its
unpopular tint. IL was supposed at one
time that this could be effected through
the agency Of heat. Faint yellow stones
BY long subsection TO the furnace heat
were convertible into pale, rose-colored
diamonds; but unfortunately after GER
tain lapse of time they slowly but surely
resumed their original tint. For the
United States, where all the foreign
stocks are especially culled for gems Of
only the purest water, colored diamonds
are rarely il ever 10 be seen. illIn

Photography has had new develop
ment in London, and not an agreeable
one either. This new departure was
brought out at recent trial in one OF
the police courts, and its history runs as
follows: A young woman, married to
an old man, goes out for walk, and
meets somewhere in the street a man
with whom she has some acquaintance
He stops and speaks to her. As they
are convcrsing an itinerant photogra.
pher comes up and makes a group Of
the unconscious pair. He then shows
it to them, and they are rather amused,
and the man buys 1t. and presents it to
the woman, who takes it home and puts
Il in her drawer Very foolishly, she
does not tell her husband, and the latter
finding the photograph, at once assumes
that the pair grouped together must be
lovers, and in a sudden fit Of jealous
fHFy, be attempts to kill his vie. The
result Is, Of course, an arrest, a scene, an
explanation and happy denouement.

THE FUTURE OF poLYGAMY.
A Prominent Mormon Taking Notes


A Washington dispatch Of the 18th
inst says. George Q. Cannon, one of
the twelve .counselloTs Of Brigham
Young, and the probable successor of
the latter should polygamy outliye the
present incumbent President Of the
Mormon church, arrived here to-day,
and will remain during the week. Mr.
Cannon's object in coming was TO ascer-
tain the temper Of Congress aud the Ad-
ministration in regard 20 the threaten
ing condition Of affairs in Utah, and to
ascertain, If possible, the future inten.
tions of the Government respecting
that Territory and its cherished institu-
tions. With this object in view, he
called on Judge Williams last evening
but the new Attorney General, while he
listened with great respect to the repre-
sentations Of Mr.. Cannon, gave him very
little hope that the Government would
recede from the course il had marked
out. Mr. Cannon is of the opinion to-
day, that the prosecutions Of the Nor
mons will continue, but gives no indica-
tions as to the future course Of his peo-
pie. He said they would undoubtedly
accept any action which Congress might
take, fully assured that no legislation
would be enacted that would deprive
them Of their religious convictions
When asked if he thought the Nor
mons wonld accept the situation in case
Utah was admitted as State, prohibit
ing polygamous marriages in the future,
but legalizing the marriages now exist
ing, and declaring all children the result
Of such marriages legitimate, he replied
that he thought it would be proper to let
such proposition come from Congress
instead Of from the people of UTAH Mr..
Cannon was on the floor of the house
to-day, when he received much attention
from the members, who seemed anxious
to obtain the views Of one who is regard
ed 40 less willing to make concessions
than the delegate, Mr.. Hooper.
