A HISTORIC EDIFICE.
Lambeth Palace, the Home Of the Archbishop Of
Canterbury TO be DemeIished

A London letter TO the Boston Post
says "It Is a melancholy fact that they
are seriously talking about pulling down
old Lambeth Palace, the home, for cen
turtles, of theArchblshops OF Canterbury,
and wlthal one Of the most picturesque
points OF view 10 the steamboat Journey
up the Thames. II ltappeafs that his pres
ent grace Of Canterbury fnds It dread
fully inconvenlent. The apartments are
narrow, old-fashioned and awkward the
walls are leaky, and It is hard to keep the
ancient structure decently warm the
hospitalities of the high priest of the
church arc very much restricted by want
of room, and It Is hard to convert a six
teenth century castle Into luxurious
abode with the modern improvements.
But l-t II not be forgotten that Lambeth
is one Of the most historical of all medi-
avail edifces. Here lived old Juxon, and
! Tillotson, the eloquent, aud sancroft and
Bancroft; here revelled tho hilarious
Archbishop CORVALLIS, brother Of the
val quished OF Yorktown, who was so un-
| epscopally merry on one occasion at

the rude old Lollard's Tower, which
rises hoar and gray above the Thames
nearly opposite the Parliament House,
were incarcerated aud on occasion

of Wickliffe. There Is a quaint old
library at Lambeth, fill OF relics Of the
princes of the Church, and grand oaken
hall ablazo with archiepiscopal heraldries,
and behind the palace is a spacious, UNI
brageous garden, shut ont from the exte.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.


Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They're neither white nor small,

That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form ana huo
A BculptorH dream might be,
Yet are these aged, wrinklod hands
Most beautiful 10 me.
Such beautiful. beautiful hands :
Though hearty were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept tOlling on
That children might be lad.
/ almost weep, as, looking back

When mine were at their play.
But Of! ! beyond this shadow land
Where all Is bright and fair,

WIN palms of victory bear;
Where crystal streams, through endleai
time,
Flow over golden sands,
Aud where the old grow young again
I'll clasp M mothers hands.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BIGAMY.-
Frederick Francis Archibald Farquhar-
son, q young man, has just been CON-
mitted to the Wiltshire, England, Assizes
on charge of bigamy by the Trowbridge
Magistrates. 1t appeared from the evil
dence that in 1869 he first married lady
named Buckley, but in 1861 was divorced
from her, as it was alleged, on the ground
that he was under age at the time Of the
marriage. In the same year, being now
of age, he married Miss Alice Bertha
Henrietta Voyer Benest, at Hackney
Church, London, after q courtship OF
seven months. On the occasion of this
marriage prisoner said nothing about the
former marriage. The party lived to-
gether as man and wife up to very re-
cent period. Prisoner, however, was in
the habit of going into the country on
business, and the frequency Of these ex.
cursions excited some suspicious in the
mind OF his London wifes mother, who
thereupon paid visit to North Bradley,

mother, lady of independent means.
To her great astonisbinent she there
found the prisoner with another wife and
family, he having, it was shown in evil
dence, married on the Goth Of December,
1865, young lady named Jessie Hooper.
The mother Of the London wife com.
PEELED the prisoner to enter her cab, and
accompany her to Townbridge, where she
gave him into custody. The prisoner,
who is man Of good address, is about
thirty. He has served in the army. The
prisoner, when he left his London wife,
said he had to 60 into the country on
business, and when he left his country

to town ON business. All three Of the
wives were present during recent exam

NEVADA STATE ITEMS.

But few State exchanges reached us
last night, and of those only one con-
tains anything worth clipping. We copy
the following from the Eureka Sentinel
of Wednesday:
We yesterday received a call from the
above representative Hot Creek Jim of
the aborigines in and about the Hot
Creek country. Nye county. James
brought with him note from some
white men down in that section, setting
forth that the Indians in solemn conven-
ton assembled had unanimously re-
solved to reject all propositions having
in view their removal to the proposed
reservation north of the railroad. They
further resolved in order to avoid cen
tangling alliance" with the United
States Government, to accept no more
blankets or other articles in the shape of
annuities. They are evidently on their
dignity, and will probably remain so.
The note from the settlers informs us
that they (the settlers) are also opposed
to the removal of the Indians. The In
dams are peaceably inclined, and in
many instances are willing to work and
render themselves otherwise useful. 1t
is quite apparent that Hot Creek jim
and his followers are much excited about
this reservation question. There is no
earthly harm in them, and it really
seems hard that they should be forced to
go on a reservation against their will.
We assured Jim that there was no dan
ger of anything of the kind before next
season, if at all. This announcement
seemed to please him very much, and he
Immediately informed us that he had
not tasted food for /" five sleeps" We
thereupon furnished him rations for the
back trip, and he straightway departed a
happier if not wiser Indian than when
he came.
We have another encouraging report
from the Elko and Hamilton Narrow
Gauge Railroad This last promise
sounds more like business than any
which has preceded it. We trust that it
may prove true; though the managers
should not blame the people Of this Sec
ton if they should still entertain doubts
concerning the success of the enterprise
We are gratified to learn that Nessrs.
Gilmer & Salisbury have succeeded in
making satisfactory arrangements with
the Central Pacific, and that there is al
least prospect Of "twenty or thirty miles

DEATH OF AN OLD ARIzoNAN. are
called upon to announce the death OF
A. G. Williamson, which occurred in
Prescott, Tuesday, November 4, 1873,
and was occasioned by the existence in
his right breast of a very large tumor.
Some two months ago Mr. williamson
underwent severe surgical operation
for the purpose Of having the tumor
removed, and for some time hopes were
entertained that the efforts in his behalf
by the surgeons had been entirely sue
cessful. Tho hopes were vain. In a
short time the tumor began to grow
again, soon became larger than before
operated upon. and finally caused his
death. Mr.. williamson was good citi-
zen, honest and straightforward in all his
dealings; was O faithful friend, and a
pleasant, genial companion. His friends
in this section were numerous, and the
account of his death will be read with
genuine sorrow by the many who knew
and loved him. The deceased was a
native OF Ohio, was about 40 years of
age, and came to this Territory in 1865,
where he remained up to the time Of his
death. The funeral took place on the
9Th instant, and was one of the largest
sver seen in Prescott. Arizona Miner.
