A Startling but not Unfrequent Dis

The Albany Knickerbocker tells of a
fashionable married Albany lady who re-
Gently took young lady visitor from Troy
out riding in her ph@tOn:
1t was the first time that the lady
attempted to drive out unaccompanied by
male member of the family, or the
coachman. Having been out several
hours, they began to manifest desire for
lunch. They concluded, therefore, to stop
at the first wayside inn and partake.
They did stop at the first inn, put up the
horse and ph@ton under thu shed and re-
paired to the house for refreshments
While thus engaged in private parlor
of the establishment, imagine their sur
prise on seeing the liege lsrd of the lady
promenading through the hallway with a
fieshy damsel on his arm, This produced
a denouement that can be readily surmised
The lady was thunderstruck. Recovering
herself promptly, she rushed forward to
to learn positively that she was not
mistaken. Her worst suspicious were con-
frmed. The husband fully realized the
situation and left the premises hurredly.
The wife, upon investigation, discovered
that the place was one Of questionable re.
pute. Mortified at the idea, wife and niece
rushed from the place with wild exclama-
tons, having scarcely touched the lunch
which was ordered

The French missionaries in China are
making many converts by means of a
magic potion extracted from the hearts
and entrails of the good Buddhists whom
they have murdered, They are also max
ing much money by exporting the eyes of
their victims TO Europe, where as every.
body knows the Mongolian optic, when
applied to lead, instantly changes it into
SILVER. The uncovered Celestials pro-
pose to avenge these wrongs by staying
the Pa risian emissaries Of the devil.

There is another fact that we
regret to mention, but justice re-
quires 1t. Sheriff Dana appointed
Mr.. Darlington his special deputy
to take care of the Jail at La Paz,
in May, 1870. There were several
prisoners confined at the time,

Dorrington's bill was for flour and
bacon he had purchased with his
own money to feed those unfOrtu-

After hearing the case, Judge
Porter, without a moment hesita-

to go, and a more righteous deci-

SHARP PRACTICE.

Some seven months ago notice
was published in our columns at
the instance of a certain official,
and signed by the Board Of SUI
pervisors, or a majority Of them,
requiring the County Treasurer
not to pay certain warrants that
had heretofore been issued to j.
w. Darlington. One of the war
rants mentioned in the notice be-
came payable this month, and the
Treasurer gave notice that he
would pay it on presentation. Mr..
Darlington presented the warrant,
but payment was refused on ac-
count Of the action Of the Board
of Supervisors. He at once made
application for writ of nadladd1nus,
which Judge Porter granted, and
a hearing was had at the Court
House on Tuesday last.
The official we have mentioned
made appearance and a failure,
simultaneously. We were not as
tonished at the failure, for that
seems to be written against all his
acts, but we are surprised that
gentlemen of known intelligence
and responsibility, like our Board
OF Supervisors. should allow them
selves to be imposed upon,as they

A PAGE IN THE HISTORY OF
YUMA COUNTY.

History is said to repeat itself.
Let us see how this is with Yuma
County and its officials. And first
as to the history Of the Sheriff's
office. Old settlers know by actual
experience. and all others may
know the fact if they will take
the trouble to examine the record,
that every person who has held
that office, except GEORGE TYING,
since the organization of the
county, has proved defaulter to a
greater or lesser extent. No one
ever doubted that the late Sheriff
was an honest man, but he GER
tainIy was q careless one. Had he
lived, his arrears would, in all
probability, have been made good
before the expiration Of his term
of office. His untimely death by
the hand of violence while in the
execution of the duties Of his of
flee, is a circumstance that pleads
with an eloquent voice i'll extern
uation Of his fault. The bonds
men of his predecessors made good
their delinquencies, while the de-
faulting officials quietly looked on
with Indifference.
The immediate predecessor of
Col. JAS. NJ. BARNEY, in the
Treasurers Office, has also been
found in default, and it is claimed
that the one before him did worse

fact have mysteriously disap-
peared.
The last, and the most infamous
by far, of the series of defalcati0ns
Of our county officials, is that Of
| Public Administrator - the alb
sconding Mix. 1t is crime enough
to steal from the living, but to
perform thai service for both the
living and the dead IS so Outra-
geously criminal, that no man I'M
der heaven can sufficiently de-
scribe it. Not many days before
this smooth tongued scOundrel ran
away, he sold at public auction
the clothing that Col. Dobbins did
not carry with him to the grave,
and coolly pOcketed the proceeds,
and, in company with boon COM
panions, proceeded to have a
champagne supper and make a
night Of it, which they did with
eminent success. Had he not
been dismissed from office, he
would probably have dug up the
bones of the Colonel and sold them
out for knife handles.
Irefer to the official history of
this county for the purpose Of i'm
pressing upon the minds Of our
people the necessity Of selecting
tried and true men to fill respOn-
sibIe stat 'Ons. The lessons Of the
past should be our guide i'll the
coming election, and we should
not forget that the character of
the people is judged of by the
character Of the men they choose
to serve them officially. The one
is the index of the other. With
the exception Of the 4Nr matter
and one or two others, the county
affairs have been we'll taken care
of, and especially in the collection
and disbursement of the revenue
during the past year. The officers
charged with this duty have per-
formed it to the letter, and they
deserve the thanks and confidence
of our citizens.

ton, and to prevent it elect men
whom we know, by their past con-
duet. to be faith ful and true.

District, at the present time, pre-
sentS an unusual amount Of stir
and activity. y number of SIN cit
ing furnaces are in course Of cree
ton, and forty-stamp mill is
hourly expected from San Fran
cisco. A number of good mines
have lately been purchased by
some California companies, and
we are about to reap the harvest
after a long era of stagDati0n
and depression in the camps of
this district.
The first discoveries here weres
made in 1864, and in 1866 work
had to be suspended on account
of the hostility of the Indians,
who killed several miners and
drove away the rest. The district
is situated on the western slope Of
the Cerbat range, thirty miles a
little north of east from Hardy
vile on the Colorado river. Auri-
ferrous veins are here in abun-
dance, carrying lead, copper, gold
4 he It1n
gorges, much cedar, juniper and
nut pine is found, and one of the
principal advantages Of this dis
tiict over all others along the CO.
dorado river is plentiful supply
of good spring water, along with
the best climate on the Pacific
slope.
Among the first discovered pro-
minent mines are the "WoOd-
WORTH "Alcran,' "Bismarck,"
"Antietam," and a host of others,
with veins from Il foot to six feet
in width. Miners wages are from
$50 to SIS per month, with board.
Like in all mining camps, there
will be a good deal of litigation
here-something almost unavoid-
abIe-and knocking from former
residence that your enterpriSing
city is blessed (?) with a super
abundance Of legal talent, would
advise some Of your temperate
bar practitioners to come and
practice here. Pettifogging, rum

THE MARsErLLEs QuILT FAoToRY.-Ths
cities of Rock Island and Moline are
known far and wide for their extensive man
factories, great natural advantages, and the
probiiy and enterprise OF their citizens
and every week and month adds new lustre
to their growing fame. Prominent among
the numerous manufacturing establishments
stands the Marseilles Quilt Factory. This
establishment doubtless owes its existence
toMr. W. A. Little, the present superlnssnd'
emit. It was iuaugurAtsd about one year
ago, and = corporation at once formed IN
der the title of the Brock Island and Moline
Manufacturing Co." The capital was
placed a. 800, 900, to be increased to $780,
900 when desirable. The 100000 was
subscribed e. once by Mr.. Little and the
business men Of Rock Island and Moline. Ia
Burial, Jr., was elected President; c. d.
Deere, Vice President; John Deere, Treas
urer; and W. A. Little, Secretary and
Manager. Work was commenced immedi-
atsly, and pursued with such energy that in
q twslvs-month the institution has been
brought into full operation. Three sub
stAntiAl buildings were erected. The main
one ls0K40 feet, two stories, of brick. The
boiler house 4Ox4O, two stories, Of brick.
The bleach house 6Ox35 feet, frame. The
engine which supplies the motive power is .
100 horse power, of the Corliss pattern,
and is the only machinery upon
the first floor Of the main build
ing, the entire room being devoted to
spinning. In the second story are Fifty
jacquard looms, nearly oil in operation. At
present two hundred quilss are the daily
product Of the factory. About twenty diff
erent patterns are produced, but the same
pattern may be woven in different grades Of
quilts These goods are received with great
favor by Wholesale dealers in the west in
fact there seems to be no obstacle to the
rapid development of this new industry
The working force of the factory, now abou

that in few years the inorgantic products
Of the mineral kingdom will be allowed to
uingle with the various other products OF

will usurp the place to which they have the
