An application OF photography,
which is aptly described as startling
has been hit upon by an English anna
teur, whose name is not given. The
inventor claims to have discovered a
method of fixing the image of an OBJ
ject on sensitized plate not more
than half an inch in diameter, an i'm
preston from which can be afterward
enlarged to the necessary size. The
plate is fixed into an ordinary locket or
keepsake hanging from watch chain,
and can be suddenly exposed by touch
of the finger, on entering room, and an
image taken of picture or of "a person,
without any one besides the operator
being aware of it.
A young japanese, while in the
United States, expressed much sur
prise at seeing cranberries eaten at the
table, and said that in the mountains
of Japan they grow very large and
beautiful, but are never cooked
Some old man occasionally goes up to
the mountain and picks long basket
full of them, which he brings on his
shoulders down to the town. Here
the boys gather about him and for a
small coin purchase the right to crowd
their pockets with them. And what
do you think they do with this other.

GERIrT SMITHS BoUNTY.-A New
York despatch says Geritt Smiths
will has been in existence, without
any essential alteration, for nearly
twenty years. Its requests were no
secret to those concerned. His annu.

from real estate lying in various parts
of the State, but mainly in Oswego, is
about 100000 He gave away a
great deal, but designed to live in the
limits of certain sum. He knew
his income to a penny, and all beyond
a certain amount he made calcu lations
to give away, as occasion seemed to in
vite. One-half of his entire property
be bequeathed to his wife. The other
half he divided between his two chill

Charles D. Miller. Other friends and
relatives were recipients OF various
bountiful gifts during the testator's life
A RUMBLING MOUNTAIN IN
GEoRGIA.-Very singular rumbling
or decorating sounds have been re-
peatedly heard in the vicinity of Stone
Mountain. What seems somewhat
strange is the difficulty of ascertaining
the direction. Some assert that it is
in the east. while others think it south
or west, while it appears again to some
others in the elements above. We
ourselves have heard it repeatedly and
very frequently during the Sabbath.
The sound seems to us somewhat like
distant thunder or heavy machinery.

THE VIRGINIUs INDEMNITY.-Now
that Republican rule has ended in
Spain, the President has decided on a
vigorous and decisive course in relation
to the Virginius indemnity. The de-
mands of the United States under the
protocol made with Admiral Polo, the
Spanish commander, were not prose-
cuted with such vigor as they now will
be, the necessity for moral support to
Spain of the young republic, having
been removed by the restoration of
monarchy. The opinion prevails in
many quarters, that the time has come
for the nation to assume a more agrees
sive policy on the Virginius question.

 Twenty srrastrsrs are now running at Pinos Altos, four by steam and the rest by horse power.

FREIGHT MoyEMENTs.-Field's train ar.
 and left for Yuma Thursday morning
 loaded with between 4OOO and 5000 pounds Of wool for L. W. Carr and 4OOO pounds of ore from the Old Mine for Carr and Hop
 kins. Myers train got in from Yuma on
 Wednesday with citizen freight, and start ed back yesterday morning, taking with
 it $500 pounds of ore for Gov. Safford and mining associates. and five boxes Of Indian pottery for the Smithsonian Insti tuition. The pottery, according to report, was collected and boxed at McDowell. Salazar's train arrived yesterday from Florence with lumber for O. Buckalew. NJ. Samenaigo's train has just arrived with goods for Fully, Ochoa & Co.,, which were shipped from the eastern cities via New Mexico. Jos. Goldtree's train ought to ar- rive to-day with citizen freight. One of the many cheering signs that the good time coming" is coming even in Arizona, is the steady exportation of ore, wool and hides. Cost Of freight this way Is thereby greatly reduced, and the freighters bene- dted. Then the receipts from sales of wool, hides and ore, are now considerable and increasing, and show to any careful observer that ere many years, with quick sr and cheaper transportation, the profits rom these productions alone, will be inn mense. All Arizona needs to insure the most satisfactory prosperity, are a railway .o the ocean and continued peace with .he Indians.

Death of v,c..pre.iden. Wilson.

By a Washington dispatch on the first page of THE CITIZEN, it will be seen that the Vice-President of the United States, Hon. Henry Wilson, died on the morning of the 22d in stant. He was 8 remarkable man, and of type peculiarly American. Unaided by wealth, or an early edu- cation, or influential family relations. he rose from one position to another until he reached ths second highest within the gift of the people of his country, snd passed away with a very strong hold upon the affections of his countrymen generally.
 At the time of his death, few men, If any, stood more favorsbly with the people for the Presidency in 1876. As will be seen by the following copied from the Congressional Directory, he was prominent in public affairs about thirty-five years.
 Henry Wilson, of Natick, was born at Pennington, New Hampshire, Feb rusry 16, 1872; was self-educated 1; learned the shoemsker's trade, and become a wholesale shoe-dealer own ed and edited The Boston Republican {; was member of the State legislature of Massachusetts in lS4l, 1S42, iS44, lS45, lS46, 1850, 1851, and 1852, presiding over the senate the last two years; was a member of the State Constitutional Convention of 1853 {; having been for ten years sn active officer of the uniformed State militia of Massachusetts, he raised a regi- ment of volunteers in 1861, serving as its Colonel, and sfterwsrd as mem Der of General McClellar's staff until obliged to resume his Congressional duties; was elected to the United States Senate as Republican to suc- ceed Edward Everett, Whig, who had resigned, and took his seat Feb rusry 10, 1855; was reelected in 1859, again reelected in 1871. His term of service will expire March 3, IlS77.
 Being elected Vice-President in 1872, he resigned bis seat in the Sen ate before entering upon the higher office in 1873. The Vice-President is President of the Senate, and as some speculation is indulgsd regarding bis successor, We quote paragraph five of Section 8, Article 1, of the Constitu- ton, viz:
 The Senate shall hoose their other officers, and also President pro tem- pore, in the absence of the Vice-Pres- ident, or when he slall exercise the office of the President of the United States.
