4 NOVEL CURE.-The insane woman. Mrs. Hansen, who jumpdd from train on the Union Pacific, has been found. She had suffered no further injury than some severe cuts and bruises, and strange to say had re- covered her reason. If the latter desirable change was the result of the dangerous leap, it will become fashionable to pitch lunatics from railroad cars in the hope of restoring the right use of their mental facuties.-[ Pi- oche Record.
 A good test case would be toss the Record editor overheard some time. If after that he evinced any clear idea on political subjects it would be safe to set the remedy down as Virginia Enterprise.

CHRoMos.-Tim Gleason has been very liberal with his Chromos all along, but We think he ovcrmatched himself winch he offered 10 fram, one for each pupil of the public school who should reach percentage over ninety in scholar ship for the month of April. Three of the young sters, Orrick Jackson, Asa Buffum and Francisco 0rdulle captured one each that must have cost the gentleman some SEQ or more to procure frames and glass for.

WE learn there Is petition in circulation here asking the Governor to pardon John M. Nelson, and from what we have heard of the case it would seem to be proper one for Execctive clcmency. Said Nelson was indicted at the June term of the Court in 1874 of felony, and after two trials of the case the jury were unable to agree on a ver- dict, and the Court, Judge Porter presiding, per- mitted plea of"Guiity of an assault with intent to do bodily injury" and ;hereupon sentenced said Nelson to two years Imprisonment in the Territorial Prison, in the Jail ofths county, and a fine of one thousand dollars; and from what we can learn Of the good conduct of the prisoner during his Imprisonment, and all the circumstan- ces surrounding the case, it Is tt ought that the ends of justice have been fully meted out, and therefore an unconditional pardon is asked.

MINING ITEMs.-Some parties from near tht Silver Belt mine brought In some argentiferous galena ore, on Saturday, from a new discovery, which has not been sufficiently prospected as yet to give any particulars. The ore brought in, however, samples of which may be seen at Jack son & Tompkin's saloon, Is very rich smelling rock. The only question is as to quantity.
 Jackson Ledge, discovered by Jack Moore, on Thursday last, some two miles from the old Moves quartz mill south of the Hassayampa, has not been proven sufficiently to say positively, but is believed by all who havc examined the rock to be good galena smelting ore.

IRE OLD MAN.-The most Of our readers will appreciate the following story, told by the St. Louis Republican: One Bush, a three-card monte dealer, follows his vocation at Council Bluffs, Iowa. Some years ago he left his home in Indiana and went West, in response to the advice of Mir. Greeley. He did locate lands, but went to gambling. He prospered, and. feeling we'll over his prosper lty, sent for his father to come to Iowa and eat with him of the fruit of the vine and the fat of kids. The old man thought he would go and see his prosperous son, and took the train for Council Bluffs. He was met by young Bush and taken to a hotel The young man thought best to caution his father against the thrce-card monte players who in- fested the hotel and were on the look out for newcomers. They had already spotted the old fellow. The son knew it; he gave his father some good advice before he left him for the night. But the game went on in that hotel, and old Bush looked on until he was satisfied he could do it as we'll as anyb body. He tried, and got up from the table two hun dred and fifty dollars lighter. It was just all he had brought with him, and the next day he communicated to his son the sorry in- telligence that he was dead broke; and young Bush went for those gamblers and the hotel- keeper that had permitted the swindle upon the old countryman. He was very angry at what had happened, for if he had considered his father lawful game he could have robbed him just us we'll himself In the fuss that ensued the old man found out that his son was sort of boss three-card-m man, and then he wanted to go home. The dutiful son furnished the money and saw his father off on the oars-but his game of respectable business in Council Bluffs was up, and the son was sorry that be did not rob his own father

How TO CURE SORE THRoAr.- "One who has tried it" communicates the following seasonable item about curing sore throat: "Let each one of your half million readers bay at any drug store one ounce of camphorated oil and five cents' worth of chloride of potash. Whenever any soreness appears in the throat, put the potash in half tumbler of water, and with it gafgle the throat thoroughly, then rub the neck with the camphorate oil at night before going to bed, and also pin around the throat . small strip of woolen flannel. This is a simple, cheap and slffe remedy"

TIE MARTYRS TO TRUTH-When we re- member how hard it has always been to es- tablsh a new principle, or even to introduce a new thought to the public mind; how many centuries of discussion have been required to eradicate ingraned errors, uproot inborn prejudiccs, and change long cherished opin- ions; and how fierce and bloody have been the struggles between new truths and old errors in all ages; and when we see how rap idly at the present time new doctrines, new arts, new sciences, and new systems in all de- partmcnts of human research, involving all the relations and all the interests of human beings, arc bursting into birth;'' how can we help desiring to remain yet little longer on this beautiful footstool unless VIC are sick, and miserable 2 By the way, the sick and miserable are generally more afraid and more unwilling to die (morbid "cautioneis' and ''vitativencss') than are the healthy and hap py. It is the persons who have the most to live for-the most to give and the least to get-who are the most ready to die, other things being equal These arc the martyrs to truth and the saviors of mankind But the world knows them not. The world is still too prone to applaud it's deceivers and reward its destroyers, while it persecutcs its teachers aud crucifies its saviors.
 Socrates conceived the idea of the immor- tality of the soul. He offered to give to the world what he regarded as new truth, and the world put him to death. Confucius taught the upper and lower classes of China that their real interests were mutual, and both classes repudiated him. Tycto, Brahe, Gal lileo, and Servetus advanced what they sin cerely believed to be important truths, and ris conse,rotrir burnt them at the stake. A greater than all of these taught the people to do to others as they would have others do unto them, and for this He was crucitied be- tween two thieves. How strange that in all ages differences Ofopinon, which are unavoid- able, have been punished with more severity than have vices and crimes, which are vol untary!-ISclence of Health.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
The President, that is, U. s.

from Kansas, to the important pc.
sition Of Commissioner Of PEN
sions. That appointment was
withdrawn, and tho same gcntle-
man nominated rs Chief Justice
Of Utah, which nomination has
been confirmed by the Senate.
Chief Justice Lowe was formerly
a Cincinnatian, and Judge of our
Police Court. Therefore the bos-
oms of all true Cincinnatians will
swell with pride because Lowe is
Chief Justice. It is very proper
that this swelling should take
place, and we do not desire to sec
it 60 down in any measurable de-
gree. Therefore 1t is that we ap-
pend the stationery account Of

The prosecution Furnished the
tragedy; the defence is now put
ting in the comedy. AT present
they have young and pretty sou-
brette on the boards, who simpers
and gossips in a style that would
drive a French maid mad with
envy, and narrates with unaffected
delight the conqucsts she made Of
her libidinous master and his at
tempts to ruin her. But one month
of fun is too much, and the people
are slightly weary of it. tits time
We had something more dramatic.
There is probability of the
play being spoiled by spinning the
thread too fine. The public's
nerves have been composed, and
it wants to be startled again.
Why not, therefore, produce the
other great actor, Mr.. Bcecher
himself? There is danger that
this person, who is slightly inter-
csted in the issue, may be lost sight
of altogether in following Tilton
on his lecture tours, in his mid
night forage on his parlor pictures
and his ludicrous search for soft
couches in the early hours of the
morning.
We are finding ont everything
about everybody except Dcccher.
His counsel aud witnesses seem to
have adopted the shrewd trick OF
the younger Weller, who, when
the Judge asked him If he saw his
father, looked straight up to the
ceiling and replied that he did not.
So, in this case, the defendants
lawyers are calling evcrybody's
attention to Theodore Tilton, and
keeping Henry Ward Dccchcr in
tho dim back ground. Why not
put him on the witness stand? Is
it because they do not dare?
