The Citizen of the 7th inst, which, by the way, is an excellent number, came to hand Thursday morning. From it we condense the following;
 The dd interim editor, Gov. Safford, favors hanging for murder. 50 do we, 30 long as it is In accordance with law to do so.
 lt having been hinted that our Delegate in Congress had taken the extra 5000 which Congress grabbed from the National treasury, the Citizen suggests that Mir. Mccormick give the money to the Territory, for school pur- poses, and promises that should trouble come of his doing so, it (tbe Citizen) would get us and other good men to pray for Mir. McCor. mick. No doubt, the 5000 would educate several children, yet, if Mir. McC. has no right to the money we would rather hear of his returning it to Uncle Sam.
 The general government is rebuked for not giving poor citizens of the Territory arms and ammunition with which to protect themselves against murderous Indians
 It alleges that the late Lieut.. Amy, who was murdered by savage, was in the habit Of sending one-half of his monthly pay to his mother and sister for their support.

It now appears that Lieut.. Amy lost his life while endeavoring to save that of Indian agent Larrabee.
 The bullet which killed Amy, was, we are told, intended for Larrabee. Can it be possi- blc that the murderous savage and his back CTS started in to carry out the villainous pro- gramme which, it is charged, members of the old Whitman ring long ago planned Should it prove so, Arizonans will, we hope, know and do their duty.

AUSTRALIAN BEEF FOR ENGLAND.-The
beel-eaters OF England are not so fortunate
as they thought they were going 10 be. The
attempt to introduce into that country fresh
Australian meats in u frozen state has failed
However, ii is hoped that this failure is
temporary and accidental. The ship Nor
folk, which undertook 10 carry twenty tons
of frozen meat, was only seventy-nine days
in making the voyage from Australia TO
England, and before her departure meat
which had been for eehty-five days sub
jrcte1 to the same process as that she ear
ried had been eaten by a large company, at
a public luncheon, and declared to be ex-
actly like newly-killed meat. The expert
ment seemed 10 promise thorough success.
But there was some defect in the apparatus;
the freezing brine from the ice and salt up
on the top of the mea,-tanks wasted too
rapidly, and consequently the ice provid-
ed could not last out the voyage. Most of
the meat was thrown overheard on the thir-
ty-fOurth day; only one ton was taken
safely as far as the Azores, when ii too was
thrown away, the ice falling entirely. Prob
ably more care in the arrangement of
cargo and more accurate calculation of
leakage of the brine will yet carry Austria
liam beef and mutton safely TO London din
ner tables.

GUANo Nor THE EXCITEMENT OF SEA
BIRDs.-The long-received opinion that
guano is tho deposits of myrlsds of sea-
birds, accumulating through long ages, Is
rendered untenabe by the recent investi-
cations of DR.. Habel. Afler treating the
guano with an acid, microscopical and
chemical examination revealed that the in
soluble residue was composed of fossil
sponges and other marine animals and
plants precisely similar In constitution 10
such as still exist in those seas. The f,ct
Tn At the anchors of ships in the neighbor-
hood of the guano islands often bring up
guano from tho bottom of the ocean, Is
quite in opposition to the prevalent belief.
Habel therefore considers that the deposits
OF guano must be the result Of the accumu-
laiion of fossil pants and animals whose
organic matter Ia been transform d into
heterogeneous sub.lan, Sc, the mineral por-
tion remaining intact.

How CHILDREN ARE TAKEN CARE Or
1t is simply astonishing how soon young
children pick up slang words. vile words,
profane words, and attach to them mean
ings. II is equally surprising bow instinct
lively they conceal all this knowledge from
their parents, and while the mother thinks
her little girl model of innocence and
purity, her neighbors may know that such
is very far from being the case. Therefore
ii is not possible for the mother TO cultivate
too great an intimacy with the child. She
seould have the juvenile heart spread out
before her as a mirror, rejecting every
thought, every feeling. every passion Of
the child. Thus she will be able iudcous-
ly 10 administer antdotes to vice and build
up safeguards TO virtue. Girls are as a gen.
eral rule brought up in ignorance of very
much which it concerns them 10 know.
Many young lady dances on the verge Of
a precipice, not knowing her danger, and
many fall from virtue because their moth
ers had not the courage TO warn them OF
the pitfalls in their pathway, and the STEP
leading thitherward. The love Of purity,
like the love Of knowledge and the love of
fame, grows by what it leeds on, and dies
if it have not suitable nutriment. The
girl and boy who have steadily held up be-
fore their eyes an ideal of high and pure
womanhood and manhood, who are taught
from early childhood that their bodie, and
their souls are alike sacred 10 purity, will
hardly fail 10 realize in maturity the high
est wishes of their parents in these respects.
Heroic virtue is never the result of ignor-
ance in man or woman. We who know
the shoals along the entrance to mature life
shou ID build lighthouses on sunken reefs,
plant buoys in dangerous places, and build
lifeboats for the rescue of the shipwrecked.

STANDARD FURs.-Among the NEST FASH
ionable are those OF the Russian aud the
Hudson's Bay or American sable, gathered
froin the weasel native TO high northern
ATTITUDES in Russia and the regions around
Hudson's Bay in America. The Russian
sable is the handsomest and the costliest of
furs. II has fleece as soft and as delicate
rs down, lustre as fine as silk, with the
merit of lasting an indefinite length OF
time If properly taken care of. The finest
grades, bearing the name of ",rown Rus
sian sable" of very dark, rich brown, with
an olive tint, are becoming so much more
scarce from year TO year ii is almost impos-
slble 10 supply the demand for them. Sets
of round muff and round boa sell at
from 81, coo to 81, 600 according to the coor
and quality Of the fur. Sets of lighter
shades sell at from 5000 TO 500. Very hand
some sells, made of the tails of the animals,
sell at from $3.50 TO s4O0. The mniis are
lined with satin gree and finished with
bows oil gros grain ribbon.
American or Hudson's Bay sable very
closely resembles the Russian, but is of
coarser quality, not so finely colored, and
is less nlenly prlzeu, tnouSn equaliy iasn-
ionaole aud much more extensively used,
because of lis comparative inexpensive
ness. Sets of mutis and boa, whether from
the bodies or tails of the animals sell from
500 to $500, according TO the quality and
color of the fur, the darker shades always
commanding the highest prices.
The mink, a standard fur because of its
usefulness, is no longer fashionable, but
still popular with ladies past middle-life,
who appreciate the capacity for wear and
tear more than the extrinsc beauty Of an
article, and they still demand the mink
collar instead of the boa. Sets of muff and
collar sell at from $40 to 500, according TO
quality.
The Alaska sable or black marten, from
its richness and usefulness, has attained a
standard position among furs; but TO be
useful and even endurable, care must be
taken that the fur he thoroughly deodoriz-
ed, else the pelt will breed worms for its
own destruction, ard the fleece will be pc
culiarly attractive TO moths. Price Of sets
of muT and boa from SIS to S26.
