A young man in OHIO, in a playful freak,
the other day, cut off the end OF young
lady's nose with pair of scissors. The per-
formance not proving satisfactory, however,
the fragment was replaced and will proba-

will always be a second-class affair. The
proper reparatiOn for the experimenting
fellow to make evidently is to marry the

H PALACE HOTEL.

The San Francisco Post Of the 10th has
the following /:
Thenotice which has been posted at the main
entrance of the Palace Hotel for some weeks
past" Visitors positively not admitted no
longer carries much force with it, for the halls.
galleries and court are daily thronged with a
curious crowd who have come to gaze OPEN
mouthed at the wonders of the gigantic struc-
ture. A Post reporter visited the caravansary.
and like all who enter here. had his gaze at once
fixed by the glass dome which surmounts the
grand court. The painters were busily at work
upon hanging scaffolds which were suspended
from beams thrown ont from the upper gallery.
They were tinting the ratings and outer wall
a delicate pink and though they were working
only on a level with the fifth story, their eleva-
ton was so great that they appeared more like
small boys than grown up men. The standing
lights which are placed above all sides of the
court, and in every gallery, are of highly pol
1shed brass and bronze, and add much to the
elegant appearance of the place. Most Of them
are still under cover. The GLACIERS are now bus
iy at work In heavy sheets of plate glass, about
two feet in width in the frames which surmount
all the ratings and banisters in the building.
In the grand dining hall workmen are engaged
in polishing the tops of many heavy tables that
are piled up on every side. The magnificent
chandeliers all under cover, to protect them
from damage from the dust. On the floor of the
grand court q little army of artisans is at work
making tables. chests and shutters. Many suits
OF rooms were thrown open a day or two ago.
and their appearance is luxurious in the ex-
treme. The beds and bedding have not yet been
placed in them. but the carpets and all other
appointments are in place. The exact day of
the opening cannot at the present time be stated.
Many suits. we are told, have been engaged, and
the hotel will open with a full quota of guests.
1t is reported that Mr.. Friediander, the grain
king, has engaged seventeen rooms, including a
private dining room. He will be attended nv
bis own private servants. 1t is also reported
that Mr.. Sharon has rendered to Mrs. Ralston a
suite OF seven rooms, with private servants. 4

ImMrGRATrON TO ARIZONA.

The San Francisco Call has the follow
ing to say in regard to the promising flu
ture of Arizona Arizona has q promis-
ing future before her. The arabic soils
of the Territory are not near 30 extensive
as in many of the Pacific Coast States.
but the climate is healthy and delightful.
It is in the small valleys between the
mountains and along the w~ater-courses
that the productive lands are found, and
these are being rapidly taken up and set
tied upon. The Prescott Miner notes the
arrival of fourteen wagons with immi-
grants from Texas and Arkansas at that
place during one week, and says that pop
ulation is pouring in from all directions.
It is in the development of her mines that
Arizona has her greatest expectations.
She has the telegraph and wants q rail-
road system, which in a few years she
will doubtless secure. and then her strides
in the path of progress will be in equal
pace with the prosperity Of her surround
ing neighbors. In this connection we
may state that the Miner confirms as true
what wa considered a very improbable
story. We copy the following from its
columns:
New and greater excitement prevails at
Florence, on account of the discovery Of
a vein of bright native silver six inches
square in the Athens mine. We received
a dispatch this morning which says that
three young men have taken out $50, 600
within the past few days, and the like
has never been before seen on American
or Mexican soil. The miners have had
to stop work to allow people to examine
the vein.

BATTLE ON THE PRAIRIE.

The Fort Scott Monitor publishes the
following A terrible affair occurred neal
Dallas, Texas, last week. About twenty
wagons met on the prairie en- route for
Dallas. They combined in n train and
camped together. In the train was a
young widow, who in her manner was
sociable in the extreme. A man who had
joined the train from ome quarter began
paying his devotions to her, which she
rather encouraged. He pushed his suit
with vigor, and finally made certain adj
vances which she resented and informed
n of her admirers of the insult put
upon her. He Immediately took up her
aus and called upon the offending
party, who acknowledged the fact. An
apology was demanded and refused and a
fight determined on. The male members
Of the train divided into three parties.
One favored the lady's cause, another
the offending party, while the third adj
vocated peaceful measures and sought to
reconcile matters. Finding this impos-
sible, the peaceful party left, determined
to take no hand in the affair. They had
not proceeded far before the sound of pis-
tol shots in rapid succession was heard,
accompanied by the screams of women.
The battle had begun. Both remaining
parties had taken up arms in support of
their companions. and fought othe bitter
end. The fight was furious, but after n
time the pleadings of the women separa-
ted the ~combants, but not until three
men were MORALLY wounded and several
dangerously SO. About fifteen men were
engaged in the ARRAY.

We received Afew days since, from .
friend at Ward District, a small box of
rich and beautiful specimens, taken from
the Paymastsr mine in that District, and
owned by the Martin White Mining Com
Jp&ny of San Francisco, and superinted-
ed by w. B. Clements. The specimens
are Of chloride ore, with the green and
gray chloride mingled together in solid
masses. Along the fractures OF some of
the samples occurs specs of native silver
in beautiful clusters and stringers. A few
tons of this kind of ore, taken from any
of the mines along the line of the Com
stock, would create q great Juror in San
Francisco, and stocks would go away up,
but here in the Great East it is looked
upon as a mere bagatelle. Some seventy
tons, we are informed, of this character
of ore have been shipped to San Fran
cisco and Sacramento during the past
Summer, and its yield was more than
sufficient to defray the current expenses
of opening the mine in good shape. A
large amount of se~cond-grade ore is now
being hauled to the Canton Company's
furnace at Robinson. to be mixed and
worked with the ores Of that place. which
will greatly increase the value of the Can
ton Company's bullion. From all we hear,
the Paymaster is destined, in a short
time, to rank as the leading mine Of East
ern Nevada.

CHANGE.

The San Francisco Car has this to say in
regard to the change that has recently
come over the New York Herald The
Herald, after two or three years spent in
f~amiliarizing the minds of the people.to
the idea of Cesarism, by pretending to
oppose it, now declares that the Republic
cans should nominate Grant for a third
term, in the event of the Democrats car
rying Ohio. The weapon which has eff
fected this remarkable conversion is the
so-called imitation platform in Ohio. The
Herald sees such danger in the financial
policy of the Ohio Democrats, whatever
hat may be, that it welcomes Cmsarism
as . means of escape. The idea upon
which the Herald bases its position is u
which Americans generally will combat.
It is the assumption that any one man is
essential to the welfare Of the country.
In m~onarchical times, when men inner
tied certain rights of governmentby birth,
and dying, left those rights to be quar-
relied over by nephews or cousins in the
line of descent. one mans life was often
of the greatest possible Importance to the
nation. But these times are happily past
for as. Our rulers are those whom we
elect. President Grant is but one of five
millions of men neither the best nor
the worst, the wisest nor the most fool
ish of the whole. The single point in
which he is superior to all the other
Presidential aspirants consists of the fact
that he is in present possession of the
Federal patronage, and can marshal sixty
thousand oficerholders to his support.
No will pretend, however, that he is
a able inancier than Bristow, whom
the Herald is inclined to drop at the first
note of warning.

FENIANIsM's New NAME.-The Motro-
Eolitan District Conference of the "Sac-
red Order of United Irishmen Redivivi,"
says the New York Sun of the 18th in
slant, commenced its deliberations in
Standard Hall yesterday. The "Redi-

tionists banded together under the lead
ership Of the Rev. Father j. V. McNa-
mara, and whose object is to mass to-
gether the best of the Irish people. and
to train them to achieve their i~ndepend-
ence by force. The society is an out
growth of the enthusiasm awakened by
tho addresses of Father McNamara last
Winter. Clubs have been formed in all
large cities of this country and Ireland.
1t is Fenianism under a new title. and
when Ireland is ready to strike a blow
for freedom this organization will BE at
her back and furnish her with men and
money. The Conference will continue
In secret session during the week.

ASSESSING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
The New York Tribune says that the Sec
rotary of the Republican Congressional
Executive Committee has sent an official
intimation even to the women employed
in the Government offices at Washington,
that they must make a contribution of
twelve dollars for the expenses of the
coming Presidential election. This is re
garded asthe preliminary gun in the open
ing campaign. If they are called upon
for twelve dollars each fifteen months
before the election, they can safely make
their calculations to contribute two or
three times during the progress of the
campaign. This practice of calling upon
Government officials to contribute to po-
litical campaigns should be suppressed
by law. The United States Government
never will be well served while politicians
are permitted to enact the role of tax col
lectors on Government officials. More
especially should women, who have no
vote and car take no active part in the
canvass, be protected from the rapacity
of political committees. The Press have
often demanded that the Government
should pay the same rates of salaries as
private firms !; but this, Of course, can
never be while Government employees are
subject to such calls as that noted above.
