CARD FROM w. C. BRYANT.
What He Thinks Of the Absurdity Of His
Nomination.

NEw YORK, July S.-Ths following
card is published to-day: Certain jour
mails Of this city have lately spoken OF
me a. one ambitious OF being nomi-
mated as candidate for the Presidency
Of the United States. The idea is alb
surd enough, not only on account Of my
advanced age, but my unfitness in va
rious respects for the labors Of so emil
nent a post. l 10 not, however, object
20 discussion Of my DEFICIENCIES on any
other ground than that it is altogether
superduOus, since it is impossible that 1
shOgld receive any formal nomination,
and equally impossible if it were offered
that l should commit the folly Of accept
ing it. Signed W. c. BRYANT

SAMUEL HUGHES believes he is on the track of mine of very rich silver ore. He has had some men sinking shaft on the Montezuma, and in that vicinity they found float of almost solid metal which, by acid tests, indicates it to be worth from S5,000 to Sl0,OOO per ton. c. O. Brown and Dr. Handy have been testing the ore, and they are confident that it is immensely rich. Instead of sending his workmen to the Sonora mines, MT. Hughes keeps them at work in this Territory, and at this time in search of the source of this latest discovery.

GENERAL J. B. ALLEN has complimented THE CITIZEN with c couple of pounds of delicious honey produced upon his ranch near this town The bees were brought from San Diego early this year. Four swarms were brought out and now there are six, and nearly one hundred pounds of honey in one hive. This is the first effort of this kind in this part of the Territory, and it is a grand success and ought to be followed by many others.
 One of the great draw backs to success among farmers as we'll as other classes of citizens, is that of paying out cash for so much of their supplies, which they can easily TToduce st little or no cost or labor. Corn IS sold for two to three cents per pound, and bacon and ham purchased at 70 to 70 cents; whereas at the rate corn is sold, hogs can be grown and fatted ss from twelve to twenty cents per pound- owing to facilities outside Of food for them. If farmers here would prosper as they did and do now in the old States, they must produce many articles of con sumption which they now purchase. IT. this way, they will have money for i'm provemeBts and comforts without which existence is drag and the community never will be attractive.

MATHUSHEK PIANO

Concerning which we wish to say
that never before has any Piano
been subjected to such severe
tests.
The Scale is radically different
from any other, and is so ingeni-
Gus in it's construction, and pro-
duces such wonderful power and
purity of tone, that it has attrac-
ted the attention and admiration
of connoisseurs and critics to such
"a degree that Dealers in other
Pianos have been obliged in self
defence to resort to many and
very severe animadversions con-
corning its qualities and claims;
nevertheless after seven years of
thorough trial, it has more than
vindicated the highest hopes of
its friends and stands to-day be-
yond criticism and without a
rival.

TOLD YOU.


told you that the winter would go, love,
told you that the winter would go;
That he'd flee in shame when the South
winds came,
And you smiled when told you so.
You said the clustering fellow
Would never yield to breeze,
That his cold, icy breath had frozen TO
death
The flowers, and grass, and trees.
But told you the snow would melt, love,
In the passionate glance O. the sun,
And the leaves on the trees and the flowers
and bees
Would come back again, one by one;
That the great white clouds would vanish,
And the sky turn tender and blue,
And the sweet birds would sing and talk
OF spring,
And, love it has all come true.
/ told you that sorrow would fade, love,
And you would forget half your pain;
That the sweet bird Of song would waken
ere long,
And sing in your bosom again;
That hope would creep out OF the shadows,
And back to its nest in your heart,
And gladness would come, and find its old
home,
And that sadness at length would depart.

THE UNKNOWN GRAVE.

No name to bid us know who rests below,
No word of death or birth only the grasses wave
over mound of earth over nameless grave
Did this poor wandering heart in pain depart?
Longing, but all too late, for the calm home
again,
Where patient watchers wait, and still wait in
vain?
Did mourners come in scorn and thus fororn.
Leave him, with grief and shame, to silence and
decay,
And hide the furnished name of the unconscious
clay?
1t may be from his side his loved ones died.
And last of some bright band together now once
more), ..
He sought his home the land where they were
gone before
No matter, lines have made as cool shade,
And lingering bfeezes pass as tende.lv aud slow
AS If beneath the 9tass monarch slept below
No grief, though loud and deep, could stir that
sleep;
And earth and Heaven tell of rest that shall not
cease,
Whe.e the cold worlds farewell fades into end
less peace.

ANCIENT MODE OF X EEpING TIME.-Bowls
were used at a very early day for measur-
ing time, from which water, drop by drop,
was discharged through small aperture.
Such bowls were called water-clocks-ctep-
sydrB. 1t was then observed how much
water from such a bowl or cask, from sun
rise to tle shortest shadow, Or noon, trickled
down into another bowl placed beneath; and
this time being the half of the whole solar
day, was divided into six hours Conse-
quently, they took sixth of the water
which had trickled down, poured it into the
upper bowl, and, this discharged, one hour
had expired. But afterward a more conven-
lent arrangement was made. They observed
how high the water at each hour rose in the
lower bowl, marked these points, and count
ed them, thus finding out how many hours
there were till sunrise. With the Chinese,
water-clocks, or clepsydres, are very old.
They used round vessel, filled with water,
with little hole in the bottom, which was
placed upon another vessel. When the wa
ter in the upper vessel pressed down into the
lower vessel, it subsided by degrees, an
nouncing thereby the parts of time elapsed.
The Babylonians are said to have used such
instruments; from them the Greeks of Asia
Minor got them, at the time Of King Cyrus,
about the year $50 before Christ. But the
Romans did not get the first water-clock be-
fore the year 100 before Christ.
