A DELIGHTFUL PARTY AT FORT WHIPPLE- All who attended the Hop at the Post Wednes- day evening unite in saying that it was one of the most pleasant parties ever held at Fort
 Whipple. It was given by Gen'l and Mrs. A. ". Kautz at the Gen'l Crook ClubRooms, in honor of the arrival of Col. and Mrs. Martin, Mai and Mrs. Maynadier, Miss Lynde, Capt. Kerin, and Lieut. and Mrs. Overton. At an early hour near- ly all the guests had arrived. and each was fur- nished with a neat little programme of the dances The guests were then welcomed in the main room by Gen'l Kautz and hs accomplished wife, who were stationed under canopy formed by the American flag, oyer which was placed encircied by a wreath the motto "Greeting to our guests" The floor was covered by canvas the walls festooned by evergreens and adorned with many military emblcms arranged with much skill and taste, and over the rostrum where the band was stationed was placed a banner with the appropriate words, "Welcome the new arrivals" After playing one or more pieces the dancing be. gan and the devotees of Terpsicore indulged in this delightful pastime to the fullest degree. The billiard room was used as the banquet room, the floor also covered with canvas, with stands ar- arranged around, the billiard table which being covered served as reireshnent taoie and was laden with edibles adorned with fruit and flow CTS which was simply superb and reflected great credit upon the taste and judgment of those un- der whose supervision it was arranged One in teresting feature was side.table where the ''little folks" were served an hour so before the others, and it was pleasing sight to see how much the children enjoyed themselves, which the older people did in q corresponding degree. All present are unanimous .n the expression of the one sentiment, that the affair was recherche in the true acceptation of the term. The toilets worn by the ladies were particularly elegant, and we only wish we were able 10 describe them. Our thanks are due to the officers of the Gene ral's subsequently, to Major Wilhelm for their successful efforts to make the affair pleas mt one which will not soon te forgotten by those present.

BULLION SrDcULArIoN.-Conroy, who is a Ou. into the miaes and works a few days, and on his return generally has a few dollars either in dust, bullion or amalgnm. Returning from one of his trips this week, he exhibited quite a wad of dry amalgum, and as it was understood he had been to Lynx Creek no one expected anything but gold from that locality, and Conroy was con. sidered quite a "catch." Two experts, Martin Saffgnberg aud II. Brown, put their heads to- sether to secure the prize at less than its value, thereby securing te themselves handsome profit One hundred ddlCrs was adjudgcd to be about the value of the mineral and its owner was the Gdest, they became willing customers for his wares; in fact he had nothing to do but lay back and await their offers. The reluctance and care- lessness with wlfich he treated their advances convinced them moro and more that there was good thing in 1t. Finally their offer reached the sum of $50, when, without representing that it was worth more, or that it was worth anything, he took the $50, asked his patrons to drink and walked out. A subsequent test proved the amal- gum to be silver and its value s4 SO leaving bal ance the wrong way of S45.20. The reputation of these gentlemee, as liberal dealers in bullion, has now become proverbial, and evca little boys have been busy gathering tin foil aRd otber shiny substances with the expectation of finding a ready market, but the Arm received dispatch from San Francisco warning them not to buy any more until the financial crash is over

Posr OrrrcE.-Our postal affairs are still |,

Posr OFFIcE.-Our postal affairs are still In aR unsettled condition. No r. NJ. is yet appoint. ed by the President, and according to a letter received by one of the bondsmen of the default. ing P. NJ. from Delegate Stevens, it Is not certain when the appointment will be made or who ap- pointed, owing to the large number of petitions on file and conflicting political nd private inter- esis at stake. The Delegate reminds the bonds men that 1t is a Presidential appointment, and one in which Government officials are taking an interest So that the appointment will proba- b!y be made at their instance. No name is men, toned other chan W. N. Kelly, in the letter, though there is inference that another has been proposed. All the men named, so far as we know, are honorable and well qualified, and our interest in the matter is purely selfish one. The P. 0. as now located Is near the MINER office and therefore convenient fer us, and we have not nor shall not sign any petition that proposes to remove it to the other end of town. At the same time we find no fault with others who in like manner, consult their own interests
 Since the above was written Postal Agent Chas. Adams has arrived and is investigating the affairs of the office. The result of his research will be found in another place. A question has BOW arisen as to the responsibility of the bonds. men. Their Attorneys, Rush and Hargravc, con- tend that the bond signed by these parties was only for temporary purpose and expired with Giles first appointment and that after conitma- ton by the Senate he should have filed another bond. which he failed to do and that conse- Yuentiy there was no bond in force at the time of the embezzlemcnt. To this view of the case the Postal Agent demurs, and it will form an inter- esting question tee the Court. By the way, 1t would seem to be case requiring the presence and attention of the U. $. Atty, who must have had notice by this time, or If he had no legal mo- tice, common rumor, which was enough to bring the Postal Agent from Fort Seldon, N. M, Should be enough to tell him that his services we're required. Tke defense, both for the crimi. pal and for the bc.dsmeu, is being worked up
 nustriously by able and vigilant counsel, and surely the Government has a right to expect that Der interests sce likewise attended to.

FALSE RUMoR.-A report gained curre reucy last week to the effect that the defaulting Postmaster, James $. Giles, now in jail awaiting the action of the U. $. Grand Jury, had so far wrought upon the sympathies of Gideon Brooke, ono of his bondsmen, as to enlist that gentlemen in his be- half, and that Mir. Brooke had employed Judge Rush to defend the Ex. P. M. In justice to Mir. Brooke, Judge Rush desires us to say that Mir. Brooke has neither employed him nor inti- mated to him that he wanted Giles defended. Giles has employed Rush, but Brooke is neither responsible nor privy to the transaction in any shape or mauner.

FREAK OF NArpxE.-Last week Ex-Shcriff Henry Herbert killed a doe on Turkey Creek hving two perfectly formed horns exactly Ike spike buck, having two prongs to each horu. The doc, from her size, WAS evidently much older than a buck wcah have been with similar horns, but otherwise her appear 'nce in the woods was exactly that of buck. This item sent us last week by Wm. Cole, but be withheld it on the ground, as he informed us that he had fair reputation for truth in this esnmanity, and preferred not to put it in jeop- rdy until the arrival of further proof. The test- nony of several witnesses is now at hand and he sthdraws his objection to the promulgation of the facts. We have seen Mir. Herbert since and ae youches for the truth of the statement.

KIT CArsoN.-Five veteran miners have loca- 'eds mine near the Silver Belt, in Goodwin Dis srict, and called il the "Kit Carson" The fortu- aate owners are Col. Bob Wood and his friend, Frank Murray. Tim Gleason and T. !. Butler. Eut little work has yet been doEe. A hole four Sect deep, we are informed by Frank Murray and Charley Rice who di< the work, reveals a vein i6 inches wide. We took a sample of 2lS,0 ounces brought in by them to MT. Rcscuthal, the Assayer, and received a certificate of S2S2.56 to 'he ton This Is, of course, not equal to the Peck Evening Star, but it is very fair for be ginning, considering the fact that 1t all came rom the surface where it had withstood the snds and rains of at least six thousand years, aud hew many more geologists are unable to de- krmlne. The Kit Carson may make a noise in the werld yet.

PROFANITY.-We are emphati-
cally in the age of profanity, and
it seems to us that we are on the
topmost current. One cannot go
on the streets anywhere without
having his ears offended with the
vilest words, and his reverence
shocked by the most prOfane use
of sacred names. Nor does it
come from the old or middle-aged
alone, for it is fact, as alarming
as true, that the younger portion
of the community are most pro-
ficient in degrading language.
Boys have an idea it is smart to
swear; that it makes them manly;
but there never was greater mis-
take in the world. Men, even
those who swear themselves, are
disguisted with profanity in a
young man, because they know
how, of all bad habits, this clings
the most closely, and increase
with years. 1t is the most in
sldious of habits, growing on 80
