good account just about the time Girls
had reached tha, point II his lecture where
the seventy second laugh comes in, which
is abou, half way through. the gas suddenly
failed. and the hal became dark rs the
blackncss which afflicted the ancient Egyp-

and continued his remarks without the / asst
pause or hesitation, as though nothing had
happened. The audience were not long In
seeing the point. notwithstanding the alb
sen ce of light, and laughed until the tears
ran down their checks. At the close of the
le.iure Girls held a consultation with the
janit,r before leaving the platform, and then
stated to the audience. as though it WAS =
matter of surpr,s: to lin, that he had been
informed that there had been something
wrong with the lights during the lecture. in
consequence of new meter placed in the
building. Whether it was long or short

Arizona.

The Prescott AiHer Ut April 10th give
US the following as the latest intelligence
from the Arizona mines. The mining new
| from every section of the Territory is frs
rasc. and if Government would but rcnde
our miners protection from the savag,
Apaches. the time would soon arrive when
this Territory would be producing fully rs
much gold and silver bullion ~ any Other
Territory of the Republic. In Wallapa
district, Moiavc county, where there is
really no danger from Indians. progress i.
the order of the day, and capital and Iat'O'
are meeting with that encouragement which
they deserve. Here in Yavapai county
many miners are afraid to work upon their
ledges lest Indians come and kill them.
What work is being done is giving entire
satisfaction. and considerable rich ore is
being shipped to San Francisco. The Gu
sonbcry Brothers have again taken charge
Of the Vul,ure mill and mine, near Wick
enburg. and confidence il again restored in
that quarter. William Linn, owner Of a
claim in Tiger mine, Bradshaw district.
came to town this week, and informed Us
til It richer rock than any yet shipped t"
San Francisco was being raised out Of the
mine. Other lodges in the district were
producing plenty of rich rock. A note
from !. W. Brooks, Superintendent of
the Del Pasco mill and mine, assures US
that work was progressing very favorIbly.
The mine was yielding great deal Of high
grade milling ore. The mill tfocr
stamps) was being run from twelve to four.
teen hours each day, with result of about
$3.50 for said work. The famous VuIture
mine and mill, at Wickenbury, are still
yielding plenty of gold. The mill which
Fre,lcricks g. Hammond are setting up on
the Hassaya,npa will soon bc ready for
crushing. They have plenty Of rich free
gold ore in the vicinity. There is some
talk of raising II company to prospect Da-
mOnd River. which stream courses through
the northwestern portion Of This Territory.
Ex.Lieut w McOwn. found. one day
las, week. near tho Benjamin, a fine look
ing ledge of very rich silver rock. Recent
arrivals from Wallan.i district have almost
excited us by the relation Of truths regard.
ing the great mineral wealth Of the district
and the praisworthy American efforts that
are being made to set free the precious gold
and silver. Z. Martin Smith had invested
about $4,000 in mines, and was still en-
gagged in buying more mines. There is now
considerable talk about the placer digsings
recently discovered on bars Of the
Colorado river, nea" Black C.ny on, some
seventy or eighty miles above uardyville.
All accounts seen by US agree in stating
that the said bars contain sufficient gold to
rcmuncratc miners tor working them.

New Mode OF Prospecting.

The Virginia (Ncv.) Enterprise mentions
new mode Of prospecting. recently adopted
in the :ower levels Of some ut the principal
mines, in which it il desired to keep the
condition If the ledge from the knowledge
of the workmen. Heretofore it has been
customary I" run a drift along the Vein.
and '.cr.,ss cut" ut intervals for the purp"se
If examination. OF course, with this plan,
every one gaining admission to the cross
cuts could tell exactly how the vein looked,
which did not suit the managers. who desire
to have earlier information than the rest of
mankind. So they have adopted the device
IT boring into the ledge from the main drift.
when fir quent assays from the borings give
the value Of the ore which has been pene
trsted in that manner The curiosity Of the
miners is thus completely frustrated, as it
is quite impossible to tell from On examina'
tion of the borings what amount Of precious
metals they contain. The device is certain
IL ingenious; how the stockholders and
others who have right to know the con-
dillon Of mine v i'll like it, remains to be
seen.

Expensive slaughter aud Applause. -

1t has tcen computed. says the Detroit
Tribune. that over one thousand five hun.
drcd dollars has been paid during the past
thirty years for printing the single word
Laughter" in the G0"gressio"a! Globe. 1t
Is presumed that If the computation als'
coverd the word applause" the amount
would be tripIed or qusdruplei. The most
curious part uf the business is the fact that
Z considerable portion of the amount WAS
paid tor applause and sughter, "interlar.led
in speeches that were never delivered. l'ut
which were printed by consent, their au'
ti,ors being allowed toinsert the ''spplause." "
etc.. where in their opinion 1t would have

Grant .'out in the cold" The attempt will
meet with just as much favor as was be.
slowed upon the proposition, made during
a war in which Gen. Grant WAS a tolerably
prominent figure, to leave New England
out in the cold. In December. 1868. h
sons Of New England. soj"urning in New
York. gave their annual dinner, to which.
among other distinguished gentlemen, Oil
yer Wendell Holmes WAS invited. The

and in lieu of his presence sent letter

posed to leave New England ou, in the cold,
in way that brought down the dinner ta-

the b, arts of his countrymen. some lines
