At basket picnic given down on the
Mississippi and Tennessee railroad a day
or two since, when the table-cloths and
provisions had been spread upon the
grass, a gentleman accidentally kicked
a large basket over, which stood at the
head Of the table. Out Of it leaped q
pointer dog which had been confined
therein for safe keeping, and the animal
broke and ran through the dinner spread,
tumbling and getting tangled in the
cloths, putting his feet on chickens and
in pickle dishes, etc., so that when he
came out at the other end the elegant
dinner was all in a .heap-a mixture of
eatables not by any means inviting. He

Commissioner Frank was today ex.
hlbitiDg a specimen of asbestos. a mine
raj which is indestructible by fire. 1t is
a horops mineral resembling cotton or
max in appearance, and out Of it can be
made clothing, gloves, hats, etc. which
articles cannot be destroyed by FIRE. It
is found in Ohio over a vast area of ter.
ritory, audis manufactured into roofing
and paint by a firm in Cincinnati. A
steamboat or house covered with this
paint is incombustible. Our scientific
reporter saw a portion of the fiber
placed in a gas jet yesterday, and after
a few minutes it was taken out, uncou-
sumed and unaffected by heat. The
word asbestos is a term applied to varie-
ties of ~horEblende and pyroxine, &C.
curing IN long delicate fbers usually
Of a white or gray color. The finer va
rieties have been wrought into cloth, and
this cloth was formerly used as a shroud
for dead bodies, and it has been recon
mended for 6remen's clothes. Asbestos
is also employed 10 the manufacture of
iron safes and for lamp wicks. Mr..
Frank will have some of the paint here
in a few days and will give it a thorough
test.

THE board of supervisors convened last Monday and on that and the following two days, closed up the business for which it met. The principal business was the allowance of accounts an d settlement with the taX-collector and treasurer. The exact sum of the bills allowed we will get and print next week, and would have had it now but yesterday the recorders office, like nearly all other places of business, was closed most of the day, and the aggre- gate amount had not been previously as certained by the clerk, but will reach fully SI0,000.
 In the matter of the bills of those who went to Cababi district 10 investigate the circumstances of the cath of Michael Layden and George Hughes, each was al- lowed for Sl6.66; a provision bill in the same for $25, and also one for horse hire for $50, were allowed.
 But one bid was presented for flooring the courthouse. and itwaS by John Wylde for $500, he finding all the materials. The bid was accepted and bond of $500 given for the faithful performance of the work. The public can rest assured that John Wylde will do a good job regardless of the bond. It is a way of his.

SAMUEL H. DRACHMAN Is nearly always looking out for something good for him self and friends, and in hls last trip to San Francisco, from which he returned on Wednesday, he was quite vigilant and reports success which will last him for hfe-at least all his friends hope so. He showed us the picture and remarked that he would have to return ere long and bring the original out to Tucson. Then another thing, he didn't forget that we have some mouths for juicy, redapples, and brought along box of them, and turned them over to us-for which he has the hearty thanks of several who keenly love good apples. We hope the donor may always be prosperous and happy, and live and long enjoy that capture he made for his own "use and benefit" as the law yers say. We may say, also, that he has purchased and has on the way fine lot of new goods adapted to this market, and has stock on hands which he is selling out at living rates.

Gardner's Gray Eagle winning the mile run, in 1.54$4 and Smith Turner's Gila Gray came out but little behind and was eecond best. "Glm Lee" came out third, "Gray Dick" fourth, and "R0d Fox" fifth. More race talk is indulged and there seems to be money to bet on the "Gila Gray" tor another race.

District Court.

District court last Saturday transacted
 the following business n adjourned
 sine die: Charles Vince Moore was sen
 fenced to five years in the Territorial pris-
 on for the crime of manslaughter, and
 William Hall for the term of his natural
 life for murder in tue second degree; both
 to be confined in the jail of Pima county
 until a Territorial prison be established.
 The case of k. M. Robertson, administra-
 tOl, VS. Dolores Abbott. was withdrawn at
 plaintiffs cost It was held by the court
 that the jurors belonging to the regular
 panel, were equitably entitled to pay for all days when properly excused from ser
 vice. The entire calendar was disposed of so far as clients and counsel desired. The court was in session fOrty-Seven days. During this time there were four
 murder trials, one of which was retried because the first jury failed to agree to a verdict. These cases had been subjects ot comments for several months by almost every man legally qualified to act as Ju- TOT in any case. In one case about 200 ju- TOTS were summoned before an acceptable jury was secured, and over 100 on others. It would not do 10 accept juror to whom it was possible to sustain legal objection, for in such event, new trials would have been ordered on review by the supreme court, and the county subjected to the same trouble and expense again, with a fair chance of the criminals getting oil UnpuniShed, by reason of the lapse Oi
 
 cess. It is somewhat remarkable that yer diets were obtained in all the murder cas- es. Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the sufficiency of the verdicts they say to man and woman slayers that there is reasonable certainty Oi some legal punishment.
 So far as we can learn, Chief Justice Dunne has left a most favorable impress sion upon the bar and community fol
 ability and impartiality; for determined
 ,1, llx nflS enacted, without prejudice for or against any one-counsel or client. From diverse sources, the compliments to Judge Dunne in these respects are abundant, and we are sure well deserved. We venture the pre- court will be reversed by the Supreme court upon any of his rulings. This ought to be Son1ce of great satisfaction to all
 concerned, save perhaps attorneys whose [ fees may be curtailed somewhat thereby.

The Last Change in Departure of
 the Mails Westward.

It is useless 10 attempt to disguise or conceal the dissatisfaction expressed by very many of our people on Tuesday morning, when on going to the post-of- fee at the usual time with their mall and packages, they, were informed that the stage and mail were gone, with the addi- tional aggravation that none would leave again until Friday; and 1t is equally futile to attempt any excuse for the sud denness of the change without the least public notice. Important mail and pack age matter had of course to lie over here three days. So far as packages are con- cerned, there Is no obligation on the pro- prIetorS, other than thelr published induce ments, to regard anybody's convenience; but in the carriage of the mails, the pub lie is more individually interested than in any other branch of the public service. l Almost irreparable damage to several of the Warmest friends of the mail contrac | tors and no doubt to many others, was 1 the result of the late change. This whole community have promptly assisted the contractors III all they have asked, and while they are not expected to deter to the mere whims of the community, they should pay due regard to its rights and reasonable wants. From the outset, we have publicly and privately expressed some excuse for the number of changes heretofore made, and any and all minor 1 linconveniences accustomed thereby; but the change of this week was so gross and ineXcusable a damage to the public, that
 we as journalist, must give expression to il, and hope that no similar prUyoca- tiou will rccur It Is decidedly unpleas-
 ant to find fault at uny time, but men
 would not be worthy the name of men, if they submitted i'll silence to such an
 outrage on their rights as that of Tuesday morning. We immediately sent sharp
 telegram to Messrs. Kerens x Mitchell at San Diego, and have written our good friend Mir. James A. Moore, superinIen-
 dent of this division, in unmistakeable language regarding the matter. Our patrons here expected us to take action in it, and we did it promptly and without kid or other gloves.
 In addition to leaving most of the mail
 of three days accumulation in Tucson, the stage left couple of hours before
 the arrival of the overland mail from the
 east, and so it had to lie here three days AS heretofore, we shall continue to aid the contractors in every just and honorable
 way, and make due allowances for bad
 roads, accidents and many such well knowr but unforeseen causes of deten- ton; but there are circumstances which
 disposition to excuse.
