A EN- STRING.
BY p rENNEa.

An old monotonous guitar.
With time twanged tone and stretched
out strings:
And then, behind bis window bar.
An age worn nan that sits and filings,
The old-time music near and far,
And sadly sings. and sings and sings,
While eight flaps all her seminal
wings.
I know not what the song may be
But of the singer this know:
He came from far across the sea,
Where only balmy breezes blow
The sunny land Of Italy,
That never chills with winters snow
Many and many years ago.
The strain swells out upon the night,
Across the space II reaches me
Through all the hush Of fadi light,
Spanning the stretch Of fading lea,
And towards the heavens, star bedight,
1t swells. it swells. the melody,
An old-time song of Italy.
What master hand controls the strings,
Soon bis old fingers cannot play
This matchless melody that rings
The startled bells Of memory;
His voice is not the voice that sings;
He is away, away. away,
In cloudess, sunny Italy!
Harkl how the werd music rings
No more forlorn and sad he roves,
Mark how the tender pathos clings---
He stands beneath the sky he lovesl
Back to bis land, on memoirs wings
At home 10 his own citron groves,
Treading again the path he lovesl
Again be breathes the perfumed air,
Again he behods the old blue skyl
Again his comrades greet him there:
Joy ckokes his song, tears dims his
eye
ooh, land so bright, SO pure, so fair,
Thy verdured hills passed me !
0 Italy. my Italy
"Long years have now their recompense
See how their heightened shadows feel
No thought shall ever call me hence,
No ocean stretch 'twixt thee and me !;
Thy smile bewilders every sense;
I've wandered, oh, 50 long from thee,
My beauteous, blue-skied Italy.
30 joy joy joy I! to feel thy breath
Upon my brow and IN my brain
And were my song song Of death
Glad would wake the sad refrain
1t were such peace at last to be
Clasped in thy loving arms again,
And feel thy kisses smother me
My love, my love my Italy !"
"A broken string--the wild notes
cease;
Among the shades the echoes flee;
No more the song of joy and peace,
M more songs Of Italy.
My eyes peer out upon The gloom,
But only darkness do | see
| know the heart is in the tomb
That sang the song Of Italy

COSMOLINE is the concentrated extract
of the healing properties of Petroleum,
which are known. 1t is the most bland
and soothing remedy ever used beside
possessing more healing power tina any
substance or compound ever prepared. 1t is
NATURES SOVEREIGN REMEDY
for almost all the daily casualties which
occur in households, the workshop, or on
the farm, as well as for many of the dis
eases which affect humanity.
FOR BURNS AND SCALDS
it is invaluable, cooling and soothing the
injured parts at once, and producing a
perfect cure in very short time, without
leaving any scars. For this purpose
alone, ii is
A BLESSING TO THE WORLD.
FOR FROSTED LIMBS, COSMOLINE
is fully as efficacious as for burns and
scalds, restoring healthy action to the
injured parts very quickly. 1t is also the
best possible remedy for Chilblains and

A New Quartz Crusher.

The Sacramento Record of November {. has the annexed, which we commend to the attention of our readers engaged in mining:
 We were shown yesterday model Of Cowles & JohnSOn'S new quartz crnsher, for which it's inventors and prOprietOrS claim great superiority over all other mills in use. It consists merely. of large wheel or drum, twelve feet in diameter and eigh- teen inches face, to weigh twenty tons, re- volving in bed or trough a trifle wider than the face of the wheel, made of seg- nentS of the hardest iron. This wheel is revOlved by gearing placed near it's outer circumference, worked by steam or other power. It is calculated that the weight of this wheel (tWenty tonS) rolling over any ordinary rock will crush it, at once, fine enough for amalgamating purposes, or at least as fine as it usually comes from the stamps oi the common stamp mill. We need hardly say that if this mill will do what is claimed for it, it will revolution iZe quartz mining entirely. The compar- ative cost will be about one tenth that Of the Stamp-mills in use for the same capac- ity in tons. One of these mills is now in course of construction in this city at the foundry of William Guttenherger, on the corner of Front and N streets, to be cOm- pleted in about five weeks, when its pro- prietOrs expect to demonstrate it's. practic- ability.

Crops About Mesilla.

1 The condition of the crops in the Rio Grande valley about Mesila and Las Cruces have an interest for us in this part of Arizona, hence we republish the fol- lowing from the Mesilla News of last Sat- lurday:
 The wheat crop has been-above the average of past years in quality and Quan- ltity, in this valley. Most of the fields have yielded grain thatWCn't rank three degrees IaboYe No. l, in the western States.
 Corn has suffered from want of water, a fact we hope not to see again, since the mouth of our acequia is sunk below the bed of the river. Worms have attack ed corn in the ear and in the stalk, and done much damage. The little bug, and it's white grub, have been as destructive as lever. Altogether we have but One-third of Ia crop. And corn, here as many other places, the chief article of consum ption, is scarce and dear.
 Beans, which have always formed so great an aIticle of diet, especially of the poor, have suffered from the want of water, and more from the bean bug. This last, a near relation 10 the potato bug, is becOm- ing serious pest, and unless care be taken they will destOry the beans in the valley.
 Cotton has been eXperimented with sufficiently this year to prove that 1t will not only grow in this valley, but that where water is supplied according to the wants of the plant. the cotton staple is of superior quality, and the yield above the average.

They are the last of Sergeant Boutelle's party of opera tors who came from Washington to take the places of the citizen operators former ly employed on the military line.
 A light shock of earthquake was felt in Yuma last Tuesday at o'clock D. m. and another about ? a. ID. Wednesday morn ing. No damage was done. The doors and windows and type rattled little in our office.

WAITING FOR LUCK.

 A pretty good way is 10 tuck Up your shirt-sleeves and start out and
 find it,
 Don't sit around waiting for luck. You may pine and nope on forever Find fault and deplore your hard fate But you'd better remember the proyerb And act On it ere it's too late; You may pout and grumble forever Just so long you will find you are stuck In the mire of SlOth and abaSement- Don't sit around waiting for luck! There is wealth to be had-go and seek 1t! And with it get honor and fame; By the sweat of your brow you can gain

 And carve for yourself a proud name; But to do this takes tact and ambition, Presidency, hope-and some pluck. Are you ready?-then lose not d momenti Don't sit around waiting for luck!

tance of 700 feet, when it again appears on the surface equal in extent and rich ness with the crOppings on the Boulder and Horseshoe mines., At the further end of the Coronado mine, the croppings are distinctly marked in the valley next to Twin canon, the cliffs covering the vein being on the summit of the dividing ridge. Next is the Copper Crown mine ascending the hill and showing yet more distinctly on the surface, until reaching the Crown Reef on the summit of the next hill, and extending the entire length of Crown Reef and Matilda, which latter tel inmates on the valley beyond. Along this distance croppings vary in width from five to one hundred feet; at some parts merely showing on the surface, while at others the vein crops to height of five to ten feet, and in some places forms small mountains of ore carrying copper to the extent 25 to 60 per cent. On the four last mentioned mines there is no development except a small shaft on the Coronado on what IS now thought to be a spur, but will prove a portion of main vein separated at the surface but the lOcators have commenced active oper- ations which will be pushed vigorously until the richness and extent of all the mines are fully demonstrated, and with the means and energy of the owners, we doubt not that at no very distant day this ledge will be daily yielding it's tons of copper.

THE editor of, The Albuquerque Review is hardworking man and anxious to present all the valuable facts of his sec tion to his readers For this purpose, he lately addressed notes to many people for information and hopes they will meet with Q proper response. People often complain of certain items not appearing in the local paper, when in the very nat ure of things the editor could not know of them without being informed, and per haps the compliments are the only ones possessed of the facts which would have enabled any one to have written them up correctly. There is not newspaper man worthy the name, who does not always consider it favor to be informed of any item worth publishing. The Review makes this very sensible observation, es- pecially referring as it does to country papers:
 It is nonsense to expect publishers of newspapers to wander arc dnd like census takers from one house to another asking for information ot equal importance to. the giyer as the receiver, which can read fly be furnished them through the mails with little cost of trouble and expense.

THE Missionary Bishop of Nevada and Arizona, Bishop Whitaker, in his annual report to the Episcopal Board of Missions, alludes in very mplimentary terms to General Crook and his work in Arizona, which he evidently thinks partakes sOme- what of the missionary character. Bishop Whitaker found a great improvement in the condition of things in Arizona, and this he says, "has been brought about mainly by the wise and humane manage ment of Indian affairs by General Crook. had the pleasure of meeting him at his headquarters, and of becoming acquainted with him, and became satisfied that the high opinion which the people Of Arizona generally entertained of him is well founded. His policy am convinced is the true one. He is prompt and severe against those who break their treaties, or begin war. but he is generous and kind toward those who wish for peace, and will keep taeir word. The Indian has no better f.iend than General Crook, and the Apa- ches are fast coming to understand him, and to trust him. If any man can bring them into peaceable relation with the white population. I am sure it will be done by him."-[Army and Navy Journal.
