POSTMASTER CAPTURED !!
Will be Here To-Nisht '!

The stage-driver, Samuel McClemends. who came in last night, brought word that J. s. Giles. the absconding Postmaster. was captured by Par. ! ker and BehaD, al St Thomas. Nevada. twenty five miles beyond Stones ferry on the Colorado. NIT. McClemends saw them but a moment as they drove up to his home station, the Willows, just as he was hooking up to start on Wednesday evening They intended to stay there that night and at Camp Hualpai last night, which would probably bring them here late this evening. They had the buggy and team with which Mehan Gftas McCool went away from here, and told the stage-driver they had relieved McCool of what be had and sent him on a-foot Giles appeared sul- len and down-cast, and had nothing to say. A letter to us dated Mineral Park, August 2ith, winds up as follows:
 '" MT. Parker your Deputy Sheriff and Deputy U. $. Marshal, and MT. John Behan, have just arrived, bringing with them MT. Giles. They re- port having secured considerable money from the defaulter. Giles, with his Pecksnfiian look, seems downcast, nervous, and proves the old saying, Man was made to mourn.' We are all glad that Messrs. Parker and Behan have cap tured him. These gentlemen relieved the gallant 'McCoop Giles comrade) Of Sl, 300 and team and wagon. You will see them soon."
 Since the above has been in type we have seen a letter written by Parker, at St. Thomas, Aug. 2Oth, to John Raible, and another, dated Mineral Park, Aug. 2ith. At St. Thomas Parker was of opinion that Mehan had some of the money hd which they would try to find. He says Giles is a perfect wreck, has been drinking good deal on the road, etc. Having no warrant for Mehan they would not try to bring him. From the Park he writes: "Wewill be in Prescott Friday evening with Giles and about s6000 including the team which was purchased with his money"
 Giles makes a clean breast of everything con- nected with the affair, but Parker thinks his ad- missions would not duplicate Mehan so as to make him party to the robbery, notwithstand- ing he was a sharer in the spoil.

RICH DIsCoyERY-THE 'SILvER PRTNCE."--On the 22d of this month Andrew Curtin discovered a lode of silyer-bcaring ore within half mile of the Peck mine that promi- ses excellent results. A chunk weighing fifty pounds was submitted to those veteran pros pectors, Win. Cole and E. s. Junior, who pro- nounced it worth s per pound, and as the lode is well defined for more than mile, the discov- ercr and his companions naturally concluded they had good thing and selected samples of the qualities of ore found in the lead and brought them to town for assay, and day before yester day Mr. Jewell made three careful assays of the different ores with the following results, begin ming with the lowest grade: Assay No. went S40S 2l: No 2 S422 B. No. 3, S2,95920. NIT. Jewell vouches for the correctness of the assays, and Mir. D. K HOughtelin assures us of the truth of the other circumstances connected with the discovery Three claims have been located on it by Audrcw Curtin, D. K. Houghtelin and sion on the South. II. G. Ballou, who is on the ground, writes us note confirming the facts above enumerated.
 Evidences continue to accumulate tending to prove this rich mineral country Of course, this latest discovery is as yet mere prospect, no work having been done to prove its extent, but "whore there is so much smoke," the adage says, "thcre must be some fire" and where there Is so much rich ore Cn the surface it will be strange if there is not something pretty good down in the ground.
 The Peck Company have taken out a windlass and arc preparing to sink on their mine. We await with anxiety the result of their investiga- tions in the direction of the center of gravity.

Some people don't like the odor of Linn
berger cheese but they are the folks that
can't appreciate the favor of well devel-
oped polecst, One evening, not very long
since, a gentleman had made his prepara-
tions to attend prayer meeting with his
wife. Prior to starting he came down town
to his place of business, and while there an
acquaintance discovered that he was about
to engage in Wednesday evening devotions
Accordingly he put up a villainous job
Procuring huge slice of the most fragrant
Limberger cheese to be had, he watched
his opportunity, and just as the gentleman
stepped out Of the door to go home for his
wife, slipped it into his pocket. TIE par
ties repaired to the church, and were soon
seated side side by side in a comfortable
pew near the stove. Soon the cheese be-
gan to grow loud The sisters turned their
heads about and looked as if kraut barrel
had exploded. The deacons elevated their
noses and thought Of the third plague Of
Egypt. The preacher smellod great
smell, and the wife of the unconscious odor
casket nudged her spouse and inquired if
he didn't smell something. Marian, it S
awful" he responded "It must be in the
coal" The more the assembly speculated
the louder the odor became and finally all
hands united in hurrying the proceedings
to close Arrived at home, and while
preparing to retire, the gentleman discov-
cred the cause of the unpleasantness and
removed it.

a Magnificent Gift to Gen. Sherman S
Daughter.

The wedding present from the Khedivc
of Europe to the daughter of Gen. Sher-
man recently arrived in New York, and is
thus described by the reporters: The
present is a parure of diamonds, necklace
and ear drops, said to be the most magni-
fcent and valuable in this country. The
necklace is composed of four strands of dia-
mouds, each Of which is brilliant. Not
one Of them is worth less than 81 600. The
chain is studded with the gems, and they
arc set so closely together as to hide the gold.
There are so many of them that Deputy
Collector Lydeckcr tired in the count.
The strands are joined by ten immense
stones, each Of which is encircled by smaller
gems. The one in front is the size Of a
hickory nut and is worth $4,000. Pendant
from the front is festoon of brilliants
with FIVE big pearshaped stones of the finest
water lustre hanging from it. The orna-
ments for the ear are single stones equally
as large as the rest. The entire set is ap-
praised at from $3.50, 600 to 100000. The
case for the jewels is plain morocco, with
out an inscription. As soon as the Secretary
of the Treasury orders a free permit for
them under the special act of Congress
they are to be delivered to the Turkish
Minister, and by him presented to the fair
bride on behalf Of the Egyptian potentate.
