GOV. SAFFoRD'S VISIT TO
YUMA.

The Governor arrived here on
the 18th, having come down the
river from Ehrenberg in q skiff
rowed by an Indian. Before de-
parting by stage for Tucson
on the evening of the 10th, he
called at our Office, and gave us
many interesting items in regard
to the condition of things in the
Territory. He would have adj
dressed our citizens in public on
educational matters, but for the
warm state of the weather, cou-
pied with the fatigue he felt,
which is inseparable from such q
journey as he hasjust made.
The Governor was highly pleas
ed with his tour, made more par
ticularly in the interest of Edu-
cation, which he rightly regards
of paramount importance. He
holds the most enlightened
views on educational matters,
and his line of policy now being
carried out with the small appro.
priation at command must ensure
great good to the greater num-

OUR SCHOOLS.

Gov. Stafford having recently
visited Yuma, especially in con.
nection with the interest of
Schools, and having conversed
freely with him upon the subject,
we are enabled to say to our read
ers here and elsewhere, that suf-
ficient school revenue will be or
hand to commence and to continue
free schools in each and every
school district Of the Territory.
for at least nine months during
the coming year. It is the pur-
pose to open all the schools OF the
Territory On tho first Monday Of
October, and teachers have, it is
believed, been employed for
nearly every district in the Ter.
ritory. The ayarage price paid to
teachers will be 500 per month,
and females are paid the same as
males for the same service, which
is right and should be done every
where. The teachers employed
have mostly been educated in the
normal schools, and hence are
are familiar with the most i'm
proved method of teaching. The
Governor says that as We are
willing to pay the highest wages
to teachers, we will not be satisfied
unless we procure the best talent.
Yuma has . good school house
with furniture purchased in San
francisco. The County Superin-
tendent has sent for globes and
maps, and an additional supply Of
text books, and We believe it is the
intention Of the School Trustees
to employ two teachers and es-
tablish q school with equal adj
vantages of any to be found on the
Coast. There will be ample money
to pay for the services oftwo first
class teachers for at least ten
months during the coming year,
and there are really more children
in this town that ought to be At

sch COL than two teachers can give
proper attention to. With q good
school house and ample means
to pay for teachers, we see no
reason why a public school shall
not be open in Yuma, that will be
a credit to the place and of meal
culable value to the children.
The school has but recently
closed in Ehrenberg, and we un-
derstand that the teacher gave
good satisfaction, and that the
scholars made excellent progress:
1t is the intention to open a school
there at the same time tho other
schools are started.
The successful putting In op.
Grafton of a free School System In
80 new a country as Arizona, and
especially where until recently,
the country has been OveruA by
murderous Apaches, and as . con.
sequence the people have been
robbed and kept in poverty, is
one of the most remarkable ad-
vances we have ever known in
frontier life; it should be, and we
believe is, a source Of pride to
every ArizOnan. No act could so
plainly convey the idea to the
people abroad, that away off here,
in this Apache-rjdden country,
intelligent Ameri cans are at work,
endeavoring to subdue and de-
velOpe the resources OF this coun-
try and at the same time raise upa
population capable of self-gOvern-
ment worthy the American name,
and it does more: it says to fathers
and mothers who have chill
dren and who desire to emigrate
to a new country, you can go 70
Arizona, where you can obtain
advantages for the education OF
your children almost equal to any
State in the Union, and Without
these advantages no parent who
has the best welfare OF his chill
dren at heart would ever go;
hence in all new countries we tnd
but few families. We cannot too
earnestly urge upon our people
the importance Of working to-
gether in every possible way to
make this Free School System q
grand success. It is founded upon
principles as broad and free as the
Universe; no religious intolerance
or bisotry ever enters the portals
of a free school; there the children
of all religious denominations can
90, and meet upon the same plane,
with nothing said or done to
wound or interfere with the be-
lief of any. 1t is an institution
upon which the life, liberty, and
future perpetuity of our republic
rests; then let US join and build
up an educational system in Ari'
IONA, that shall be pointed to with
pride by every inhabitant OF the
Territory.

On Indian affairs, the Govern0
spoke in laudation of the admira
BILE system which Gen. Crook il
actually enforcing, even with tht
! small number of troops at hi
command. The plan Of requiring

reservations to appear at roll call,

ished for any depredatiOns COM
mitted. The Indians were being
taught to work as well, and were
given to understand when they
went on reservation, that they
were only to be kept there till
they could earn their own living
by working, as the white man
does. Cachise, however, would
not submit to the indignity, as he
considered it, Of having bis saw
ages answer to roll call, conse-
quently Gen. Crook made pre-
paratiOns to "wipe them out" and
would undoubtedly have accom-.
plished it long ere this, had not
the Howard treaty been in the
way. Cachise, said the Governor,
is now old, suffers much from
dyspepsia, and expresses his de-
sire to be at peace with sthe
Americans, but hates most cor
daily the Mexicans. The Gov
ernor thought the Howard treaty
a grievous wrong to Mexico.
In speaking of the Pastoral ad-
vantages of the Territory, the
Governor said, emphatically.
"they are the best in the world"
AS to Minerals: the Governor
thought that great mistake had
been made by our miners in wait
ing for capital; but that many
owners of mines had seen their
error, and were now going to
work with arastras. Business is
consequently improving in the
many of the mining districts, and
miners are daily becoming more
independent of outside help.
There are placer mines on the
San Francisco river, now being
worked by a company Of men
from Colorado, with 5000, 900 CAPT
tai; and rich dry placers had

SAD MisrAKE.-A sad affair recently oc-
cured in Stowe, Mass, one night. Mr..
Frank Stevens was aroused by noise
which he presumed was made by burg
lars, there having been several horses stolen
in the vicinity within the past few days.
He dressed himself hastily, and, revolver
in hand, started for the window of his bed
room. peering out from whence he failed
TO see anybody. His dog,-a large one of
the Newfoundland breed, -barked loudly
and distracted his attention, so that he did
not notice the disappearance of his wife
Mrs. Stevens, alarmed rs was her husband
by the noise, rose and crossed the entry in
to the stting-room where she raised the
curtain and bending over, looked out.
When Mr. Stevens found that there was
nothing to be seen from his own window,
started, revolver in hand, for out doors but
was arrested by what seemed to be the
spcctcal of man climbing into his sitting
room window Without thought he fired
and shot his wife. The ball passed through
the right shoulderblade, coursing down.

The Monument TO FISH. Meade, the
Brattleboro sculptor, is making at Florence
Il monument to be put over the grave OF
the late James Fisk at Brattlcboro, and II
letter from Italy thus describes it The de-
sign is an obclisk twenty feet high, on
which will be medallion bust of dcceased;
mt the corner of the pedestal four allcgori-
cal female figures, indicative OF the ways
and means by which Fisk attained such
celebrity-''Commerc with Mercury s
wand and sack of gold the thcatcr. called
by compliment the Drama with the Tyre
and laurel tie Railroad" having as a dis
tingushing ornament on her corOnct "A di-
minutive locomotive; and, fourth, the
Steamboat" who will as her symbol wear
tiny side-wheeler The idea of the de-
sign was given by Mrs. Fisk. AS we have
already remarked, Meade's success is in the
yigor of his male figures, his soldiers and
sailors, and these nymphs are still waiting
for the Promethean spark. The best point
of the work is the bust in relief. We
should have set it down without mo.
ments hesitation as the portrait of some
distinguished German, had we not been
told. This is nearly full-facc forehead
not high, firm features, lower part of the
face heavy, mustachc only-all in all &
countenancc which impresses one agreed
bly,, and which one would not pass by
without asking, Who is that man? Meade
being townsman and schoolmatc of Fisk
has probably succeeded well in the truth
fulncss of his portrait.

BAENUM's New Project. great
Snowman has now embarked in another en-
tcrprise by which he intends to do away,
in part, with the necessity of foreign trav-
cl. Some years ago there were exhibited
in London three gigantic pictures of Lond-
don by night, London by day, and the city
of Paris, in building called the coliseum
of immense size, and prepared expressly
for their reception at a cost of 81 ,24O, 600.
The building and the property upon
which it was situated became SO valuable
that it was finally sold for hotel purposes,
and at that time these marvellous pictures
were purchased by party of English cap
itaists, with whom Mr.. Barnum has now
entered into an agreement by which New
York is to have the pictures on exhibition
The pictures of London were painted by
Mr.. Paris, well-known Genie artist, and
are of extraordinary dimensions, being 400
feet in length, IS feet high, and covering a
superficial area each of $4,000 square feet
The artist, to complete the original sketch
es, lived for four consecutive years, in
what is known as the Golden Gallery" of
st. Pauls cathedral, passing his days and
nights in the region of the clouds $50 feet
above the surface of the earth. A birds
eye view of circuit of six miles is enclos-
y
vast a scene, the picture must be seen from
a lofty standpoint For the exhibition of
these views, Mr.. Barnum will erect on the
corner of Broadway and Thirty-tifth street
corrugated iron amphitheater $50 feet in
diameter, 400 feet in circumference aed 100
feet high above this will rise lofty tower
230 feet high from the summit of which a
magnificent birds eye view of the city of
New York may be obtained. At the top
of this tower will be Accommodations for
three hundred persons, who will view the
paintings from the standpoint. BY a pc
culiar arrangement of the light striking OPP
teal illusion will be effected, so that those
standing on the tower and looking down on
the painting will be at loss to know
whether they are viewing the scene
from some lofty point in the outer
air, or looking at painting beneath an iron
roof. Several " side shows" will be con-
nected with the main building for the enter
tainment Of the people awaiting their turn
to ascend the tower. The building is to be
ready by September /, on which date Mr..
Barnum hopes to exhibit " London by day -
and " Paris by night" % London by night -
will not arrive till later in the season. 1t
will tske two hours to shift the paintings
- London by day" will be exhibited in the
day time, and the Partisan views at night
The paintings are leased for three years
Should the exhibition prove successful, Mr..
Barnum proposes to supplement the pres
cnt paintings with New York by day and

gagged component artist, who will take
sketches from one of the loftest structures
in Broadway and from the spire of Trinity
church.
