One day recently a respectfully dressed
man carried a well-grown child, muilled
up and apparently sick, came into a New
York hotel lie placed the child on the
stairs and began to talk in very rough
way. The attention oflhe guests was
attracted, and they gathered around.
You are able to walk up stairs BY your.
self, the man said, and Won't carry

severe thump oven the side Of the head.
The child moaned piteouslY. The indg-

Well, here isan old elk track, Let rs

prairie dog had crossed the track. Moth

the weather since the elk passed, and th
effect of sunshine, winds, Oridity, san
storms and other influences that had
bearing on these tracks.

Military Items.

Lieut.. Reyes left headquarters for Apa- che and Lieut.. Schuyler for Verde about the 18th instant.
 Acting Assistant Surgeon Warren E. Day, on arrival in this department, will take station at Verde.
 During one week, six deserterS reported at Fort Whipple under the Presidents or der of October 10.
 Lieut. Robert London left Camp Lowell Wednesday morning with @ few over sixty recruits bound to Grant.
 Dr. Magruder,e eMedical Director of this Department, and LieutenantS Eaton, COwi- es and Bishop arrived at Prescott this week.
 The regular appropriation for barracks and quarters for this fiscal year is said to be exhausted, but special amounts like those for Camps Grant and Lowell are all right.
 Prescott advices of the 18th say that Capt. James Burns and his company of 5th Cav airy, were then out scouting after hostile Indians. They had rat1OnS for forty days.
 Acting Assistant Surgeon Gregory ar rived at Fort Whipple on the l7th, and got to Tucson last Sunday. He takes station at Camp Lowell and relieves Dr. J. A. Cal lender who goes to some eastern station.
 The Arizona military telegraph line was completed between Prescott and San Die go November IS, and the first dispatch from San Francisco and Washington was received at Department Headquarters, Prescott, at ? D. m.
 It is sixty miles from Prescott to Camp Verde and it's Indian reservation, and wire enough to construct a telegraph between them must be at Prescott by this time. With the troops to build it, a telegraph to connect all military posts and Indian re- serves with department headquarters, can be cheaply constructed, and hardly any more advantageous expenditure Of labor and money could be made than in mak- ing such connection.

CALEB CUSHING thinks nothing serious will grow out of the Virginius affair. The people of the United States, he says, are running stark mad because a few filibus- ters, who had forfeited their rights to pro- lection from our government. have been shot. It would be better, he thinks, for the country if all other fiIibusters should be served in the same way. 4 declaration of war might be popular, but it does not follow that it would be either just or essen- tial to the vindication of our national hon. or. Instead of trying to steal Cdba by countenancing filibustering expeditions, our. government, MT. Cushing thinks, ought to act squarely, and if the Island is wanted, buy it, or take it outright, without any DretenSe.-EXchanoe

SALT RIVER VALLEY.

Mexico-- Public School Flourish ing--PrescOtt Road--Pima Thefts
 --Tri-WeekIy Mail to MaricOpa
 Instead of Semi-Weekly to Flor
 ence --- Grain Shipments --- Paul
 Handel loses a Hand.
 PHENIX, A. T., November 21, lS73.-FOr the past two weeks the weather has been cool, pleasant and healthy. On Friday last light shower fell which hardly laid the dust. On Wednesday it was cloudy day it is cloudy and has been sprinkl1ng some and looks as if it were going to rain. The weather-wise predict thatwe will have a wet winter.
 A rumor of @ rupture with Mexico was hailed with joy in this place. Nothing at present would give more general satisfac- ton in this Territory than war with that country.
 Miss Shaver, the new teacher, is pro- gressing finely. She now has thirty-five scholars with the prospect of an increase. The new schOOl-hOuSe is an adobe 20X30 in shingle roof. There are three windows on each side, one large double door in one end and a fireplace in the other. The floor is dirt but the trustees intend putting in one of plank as soon as they can pro cure the lumber. The building, so far, has cost Sl4O0 and it will take S200 more to fin ish it. Last week Judge AlSap. the county superintendent, purchased a small supply of books for the children and he intends sending into California for new set in short time. Several young ladies from the Mesquite are stopping in town attending school.
 The Sacaton Silver Mining Company in- tend to soon put up a furnace at their mine for smelling purposes.
 A party is out at work on the new road between here and Prescott, improving it.
 The Pimas still continue to steal from the farmers in this valley. A petition has been forwarded to Hon. R. c. Mccormick to be presented to the P. M. General to have a tri-weekly mail between PheniX and MaricOpa Wells instead of the semi weekly to Florence.
 The Alta advocates the idea of import ing into California, at the expense of the State, some of the many young girls thrown out of employment at the East by the late panic. It might be good thing to send a few to Arizona.
 The shipments for the last two weeks, so far as I have been able to learn, have been 254 900 fbs. barley and 50000 lbs. wheat. A great deal of flour was shipped by W. B. & Co.,, but was unable to learn the amount.
 A few days ago Paul Handel had part of his left hand blown off by the bursting of shot gun, while out goose shooting. The doctors found it necessary to ampu- tate the hand at the wrist.
