Washington's Birthday.

Washington's birthday was re- membered in this locality. The Captain of the anvil battery, Wm. Pulfer, and his Company, kept their artillery booming during the greater part of the day.
 AT FORT YUMA,
 The officers and men procured the services of MT. Charles Dermer's Japanese Troupe, and having cleared out a very large hall, said Troupe gave an excellent enter tainment, to the delight of very large audience. The officers and ladies of Yuma Depot and also many citizens of Yuma crossed over the river and witnessed the performance. Many of our citi- zens who enjoyed this privilege express their obligations to the officers and men of Fort Yuma for their courtesy and kindness. We would here remark that the feel ings between the citizens of Yu- ma and the officers and men ot Fort Yuma and Yuma Depot is most cordial, and the interchange of courtesies is frequent and hear 1 ty. This is as it should be. To close the programme of the day, a
 SPLENDID BALL
 Was given at the Court House, in the evening. A gay party of bril-. liant and beautiful ladies and gal. lant gentlemen assembled, and with the inspiration of excellent music, enjoyed themselves in the most happy and refined manner The officers and ladies of Fort Yu' ma and Yuma Depot, together with the beauty and fashion o1 Yuma and vicinity composed this assembly. Everything passed of in the most harmonious manner.
 During the day, all of our clti- zens who have flags, flung them to the breeze.
 The music, during the day both at the afternoon performance at Fort Yuma and. the ball in Yu- ma i'll the evening was of a high order.

By last steamer from San Fran cisco Col. James M. Barney re- ceived another one of those man. moth safes, from the "Hall Safe and Lock Co.," The one that he received last year, weighing eight thousand pounds, was the biggest thing of the kind that we had ever seen or heard of, Eut this one beats it, for it weighs nine thousand pounds. It is as large as a small house, and we should judge that six full grown men could stand up at full length in it, without crowding. We know some fellows who we would like to try it on. We would turn on the combination and keep them in while, just to show them how helpless they would be.

We suppose the fact will be con- ceded that the best husbands in the United States are raised in Connecticut. AS an illustration we have the following story of a Norwich man who recently lost his better half. Being of a thrifty turn, he was somewhat exercised by the expenses incidental to his wife's illness. A few days before her death he went to his drugger with an empty four bottle to have it ref1lled with,a solution of chloral-hydrate, of which she had required a considerable quan- tity. With some hesitation he handed it to the druggist, saying, "Is that chloral as expensive as ever ?"
 "The price is the same, sir"
 "Let me see; it costs sixty-five cents to fill the bottle, I believer"
 "Yes, sir"
 "Well, then, guess you need not but half fill it this time. The doctor says she can't last but a day or two longer, anyhow.

The Sonora Revolutionists.
From the Alta California.

When reports favorable to the RevOlutiOnistS in Sonora were te- legraphed from Tu ;son we placed no confidence in them, but as we had no information to the contra ry, We could not with safety con. tradict them. It however ap- peared highly improbable that Serna, who had been driven from Mexico without difficulty, and who left Arizona with an insigni- ficant force, should be able to con- quer the relatively numerous troops of the State of Sonora. We now have the Ores EStreIL0 of the 3lst of December and 7th of Janu- ary before us, and they convey the idea that Serna has gained no advantages worthy of note, and that the victories reported to have been won by him were skirmishes of no importance. One of the ru- mOrS from Tucson stated that the RevolutiOnists had taken Ures :; but it seems from the EstrelL0 that sixty insurgents surprised the House of Correction at o'clock in the evening and were dispers. ed three hours later. Serna him. self never approached the Capital of the State, and his forces dis persed near Arispe as soon as Pes queira's forces got within fight. ing distance. Of course, some allowance must be made for the fact that the EstreUG is a Govern ment organ; but after making all needful deductions in considera- tiOn of that fact, we are disposed to believe that the Serna insur- rection is complete failure, and that the time has not yet come when the controlling influence of the Pesqueiras in Sonora is to be overthrown. We should be sor- ry to see that family replaced by Serna, many of whose proceed ings, as reported here, look more like plunder than legitimate war fare.

Il Democratic Bohemian Bureau.
We have it upon undoubted authority that
there exists in New York city sort of 'Behemi-
an" Literary Bureau, recently established under
Democratic auspices, whose members are engaged
to write or 'grind sut editorials in the interest
of Tilden, Hendricks and Democracy until the
existing Presidential campaign ends. This corps
is composed of quite number of scribes, sprin-
killed., no doubt, with some Pharisees, possibly q
majority. 1t embraces considerably more than
bakers dszen of regular sBohemians'' who
WELD facile pens and can write TO order regard
less Of sentiment, conscience, honesty or princi-
pie. They discharge their professional duties not
unlike ''Tombs lawyers who go into court
and defend client accused of murder, simply
for the fee, knowing him to be guilty. 1t is in
fact their business to make the best of bad case
because they get paid for it. Like certain preach
ers, their injunctons are, don't do as we do but
as we tell you. 1t is understood that this junta
is made up of mixed, motley set. They are of
all politics, different creeds, nationalities and
professions, INSCRIPTIONS regarding truth, il
falsehood answers better their own and the pur-
poses of their superiors or chief directors accus-
toned to pulling Democratic wires. Gov. Til
den himself, holding as be does appreciative
ideas about the power of the public press, is I'm.
derstood to be liberal financial, if not editorial
contributor, to this Bohemian conclsve, which
willingly adopts what he has to say, giving it
endorsement. The grindings OF this literary mill
are printed to order on slips and sent broadcast
to Democratic newspapers-daily and weekly
all over the country, whose editors, anticipating
future rewards or punishment, are expected to
publish them, in case of Tilden's triumph.
It'll well, therefore, for our Republican friends,
supporters Of Hayes and Wheeler, TO know what
sort of machinery is being used to popularize
their opponents and, if possible-though the
means seem doubtful-to secure their election -
Neither can it do any particular harm for un-
sophisticated Democrats, forming crude ideas of
Tilden, Hendricks and modern Democracy, to
learn how much sincerity and truthfulness there
exist in editorial articles of the Bohemian, DEM
ocratic literary bureau appearing in their favor
lite home journals. No doubt there will be very
many beautiful, touching, fanciful stories put
| forth by these penny-a-liners, marvellous incl
dents, elaborate eulogies, etc., and records Of
good deeds, which have no foundation except in
fertile imaginings of the Bohemian guard. 1t
may also be taken for granted that no very
special respect will be had for truth and justice
when reference is made by them to Hayes, Wheel
sr and Republicanism. Already the ear-marks
of this Bureau are visible in several quarters.

LTe-Sise Portrait of IyIden.

HoO he Looks as "Reformer' Reflected By his
WorkS-A Life Of Pretense Devoid Of Honesty
and Sincerity-MiIliOns Earned By Frauds and
Cunning.
From the New Y ork Times.
To summarize Samuel Tilden as sham re-
former these facts must be kept in mind
l. He served Tweed faithfully as long as Tweed
had chance to serve him. but no longer.
2. He obtained the nomination for Governor
by personal solicitation and the petty cunning Of
a politician practiced in the Tweed school.
3. That he was elected Governor chiefly by the
practice of arts which would have disgraced a
Tammany ward hummer running for Alderman,
among which was the flooding of the State with
photographic letters urging the people to support
him, and thus raising in the minds of each one of
thousands of rustics that he had received an auto
graph letter from the candidate for Governor.
4. That, as Governor, his much-trumpeted
''canal reform has yielded three suits, one con-
vction, and an expense to the State of $92, 600,
| but has not put stop TO any canal Frauds for
the reason that they were all stopped by consti-
tutional amendments adopted on the same day
he was elected Governor, which fact he very well
knew when he began beating his canal gong with
a view of frightening the Democrats into nomi-
mating him for President.
5. He further helped himself to that nominal
ton by liberal employment of an advertising
agency.
6. He has caused it 70 be published all over the
land that be has largely reduced the cost of the
State Government OF New York. when the figures
prove he has done nothing of the sort.
7. To prepare himself for the work Of reform
he issued in Michigan millions of dollars OF "iron
currency"
8. And also engaged in certain operations in
railroads, and especially in connection with the
ST. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad, for
which last he is now defendant in a suit pend
ing in the United States Circuit Court Tor the
| Southern District OF New York.

The PRESIDENT. another column we present
an interesting interview with President Grant,
which will speak for itself When SO great a
man is in question why cannot we be fair to him ?
All sorts of accusations have been made against
him. II be took the money and houses given to
him by a grateful people for services that will
never be forgotten while America has history,
be did what Marlborough did when the Queen
gave him rank, money and estates; what Schom-
berg and Bentinck did when William III. gave
them wealth and dignities; what the elder Pitt
did when the Duchess of Marlborough made him
one of her legatees what Wellington did when
the nation gave him palace what all the mar
shals of Napoleon and all the generals of Freder-
lex did what his comrades, Sherman and Nc
Clelan, were not ashamed to do If the taking
of presents under these circumstances is to be
censured let the censure fall upon others as well
as upon Grant.
Judge Black threw out the impression that the
President has taken presents since he entered the
White House, and to such an extent as 10 be as
guilty Of bribery as Belknap. He cited the case
of Hoar and the library which Hoar denied. He
cited EdWards Pierrepont paying 500, 000 But
that was an election contribution paid to the
campaign fund in New York We have seen no
evidence that the President has taken houors or
money or valuable presents since he became
President, and If any one has such evidence it is
a duty to The public to make it known. General
Grant will soon retire from public life. No
Journal has supported him more earnestly than
the Herald when right or censured him more
severely when wrong. He does many things we
cannot approve. But his name will be one Of
the great names in our history. 1t will live with
Washington, Jackson and Lincoln. That can
not be taken from him Why degrade name
that will be an example TO our children p NeO

NS- The only daily German newspaper in
Iowa, Der DemOkrat of Davenport, has been led
by careful consideration Of Gov. Tilden' 8
letter of acceptance to abandon him and come
out for Hayes and Wheeler The editor says
he does this because be thinks Gov. Tiden's
demand for the repeal of the Resumption act a
surrender to the InfatioDists, adding "Tilden
is right, but by no means original, when he says
preparations must 6e made for resumption The
friends of the act urged it chiefly because it
would necessitate preparations and serve as a
dam to endless imitation. Indeed we believe the
limit fixed is more remote than necessary
France did not require so long time after her
disastrous German war. Why should we, with
our boundless resources consume decades in re-
turning to sound financial basis Since bis
letter of acceptance we do not see in Mr.. Tilden
fitting candidate for President of the United
States, and therefore we cannot give him our
support"

A $40, 900 MIsTAKE.-A well known conductor
on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road
went to the depot one morning recently to take
his train, as usual, and an ehcer of the law ar
rested him On bis shirt front was a S., 900 dia-
mond pin, and in his pocket were a valuable
gold watch and chain In his trunk the officer
found $50, 900 in Government bonds An east
ern bank was telegraphed to, and the response
was that bail could be furnished in 500, 900, il
necessary, as that was the conductors credi,
there This settled, it was next the conductor s
turn. lawyer was called, and he politely in
formed the officers that the diamond pin they
had taken, had been worn by the conductor
twenty years; the watch was carried by him
years before he went into the employ of the COM
pany that the United States bonds they had
taken were the property of his wife, as the pro-
ceeds OF her share in an estate as heir, and SO
was the money in the bank and that the best
thing the company could do would be to return
what they had stolen and with it $40, 900, and
no further questions would be asked The CON-
pany accepted the attorneys terms.-Henry
