ARREST OF TIFF ABsCONDER, NEH
 MEHR.-It is not long since the new,
 was published in the Bulletin of the clandestine departure of Alfred D. Yer
 Mehr, q clerk of Parrott S O., for
 Mexico, Tn company with his para
 mour, named GuSsIe Mott, carrying Dff considerable money belonging 10 his employers. IL was asccrlained af- fer Yer Mehr's flight on the Steamerf or NaZatlan, that he Was a deflulter in the sum of about $24.00O. About two weeks ago officer Keyser was sent down tO Mexico in search of the fugi- tive, armed with a requisitiOn from Gov. Irwin. Yesterday Chief of Pol ice Ellis received the following dis patch from him, at Mazatlan. via Fort Yuma: "Ner Mehr arrested. MeXi- can authorities willing 10 deliver pris- Oner. American Consul opposes. al- leging that SinalOa not being border state, requisition must be issued by President Grant, directed 10 President of Mexico, having sufficient proof un. der the Mexican law, that he is guilty of offenSe charged. Though Yer Mebr's case is rendered somewhat more hopeful for him by the action of the United States Vice Consul at Ma Zatlan, inc prospects are very fair that the next steamer will bring the guilty pair back to this city, unless the fair |" Gussie" should conclude to install some Mexican grandee in the shrine of her affections in place of the un- fortunate Yer Mehr. The latter will come anyhow, as MT. E. G. Kelton, United States Consul at MaZarlan. at present in this city en route 10 Mexico. has received dispatch from Acting Secretary of State, John Cadwallader, dircting him to act promptly in the premises, and do all he can 10 catch Yer Mehr, further informing him that this is no case for consular interven- tion, and that a technical objection 10 surrender is not in the interest of jus tice nor desirable.-San Francisco Post, November II.

] FRoN the Boulder, Colorado, News
 we take the following:
 At q "call " meeting of the Presbv.
 tery of Colorado, on the 2d ultimo. in the Presbyterian Church of this city. l the pastoral relation between Rev. ! | E. Anderson and the First PreSbvterian Church of Boulder was dissolved. The church, in accepting MT. Anderson's resignation, adopted the following re- solutions:
 Whereas, Rev J. E. Anderson has | requested dissolution of the pastoral relation existing between us, in order that he may enter upon a new and more extended field of usefulness; therefore. Resolved, That we accede to hIs re quest.
 ?. That while with regret we sever the relations which bind us with our first pastor, we bear testimony 10 the energy, faithfulness and ability dis played by MT. Anderson in the midst of the arduOus labors attendant upon the organization and up-DuilGrng of
 the church; especially to his persist ent efforts which have resulted in the erection of our house of worship.
 3. That while we feel assured the kindly interest and prayers of this church will follow him 10 hIs new field .of labor, we also cordially commend him to the Christian fellowship and cooperation of those to whom he may be called, in the providence of God, to minister.
 MT. Anderfon goes to Tucson. Ari zona, at the earnest request of the Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church. His experience and success in Colorado caused the Board to think him eminently fitted for the work in that new, difficult and important field.
 NIT. Anderson, as it appears from the above, has been for some time engaged in pastoral duties in Colorado. He now comes to Tucson to take perma- nent charge ofthe Presbyterian Church organized in this city last Spring by the Rev. Seldom Jackson. While be- ing a Presbeterian, his chef aim will be one of usefulness to all classes. ir- of sect or denomination. NIT. Anderson's long residence in the West highly fits him for the task he has to perform here and we wish him every success.

New Safety Explosive Composition,

i Messrs. l.. de SOulages and R. Cahuc
 of Toulouse, France, have patented through the Scientific American Pat
 ent Agency" September 19, 1876, a new blasting power. which is claimed to produce q dynamical effect superior to
 the common mining powders and to
 dynamite, while it combines the ad
 vantage of cheapneSs and nOn-eXplOsi-
 bilily in the open air, with a reduced production of smoke and injurious
 gases Tn its explosion, leaving hardly any trace or residue of sold deposit of ashes in the bore hole. It consists of potash or equivalents salts, sulphur, and sooi or lampblack, combined with tanners bark. sawdust, or similar sep araung ingredients, ground and mixed
 in suitable proportions. The compound is then mingled with a solution of sulph- ate Of iron, and boiled until the mass be- comes entirely liquid, with the parts so combined as to form uniform black paste. This, when dried, pro- duces a powder of blackish color, and of a density of about O. 6. It may be stored for length of time without un- dergoing the least alteration or deterior- alIon-
 In the atmospheric air the powder takes fire and burns like any inhamma- ble body brought in contact with an ignited body or flame of sufficient intensity, producing no shock or ex- plosion whatever. Neither atmoSpher- ic electricity, nor shock of any kind, have any action on the powder, which eXplOdeS only when firmly tamped or or compressed in the bore hole, and ig- niled, like the ordinary mining pow der, by means of mining fuse American.

Withdrawing LeisureIy.

The ElkO (Nev.) Independent tells the following: While travelling through
 Arizona in 1869 with an exploring par
 ty, we made our camp one evening
 near canon, the bottom of which was covered with fine sand that had drifted
 from the neIghboring plains. While employed in arranging our camp, the
 botanist of the expedition, Dr. B., wan 'dered some distance in pursuit of plants.
 He returned shortly and reported that there were Indians near at hand. He
 was as cool as a cucumber, and didn't
 show a sign of anxiety or alarm. In
 answer to our nasty inquiries he re- piled that while engaged in examining d fossil specimen, he heard grunt be-
 hind him, and on looking around dis covered an Indian who had seized his
 gun, which had been placed against a rock. The Indian drew bead OF him, and in retaliation be drew his revOl- yer and sighted the Indian, retreating at the same time toward the canon, which was close at hand. Neither fired
 On reaching the canon he walked leis- urely into camp. A party immediately set out to determine the possibility of danger, and discovered two Indians and squaw Afler capturing them they examined the vicinity in which the doctor had met with his remark able adventure. They found his foot prints winch signified a cautious re- treat to the cehon But alas for the frai.ty of human nature; his footprints in the canon were eight feet apart by and not exactly indicat- i've of the leisurely manner in which he had approached the camp. The Doctor acknowledged the corn, and that that was about as leis- urely as he ever wished to walk under similar circumstances

TUPPER's IMPRESSIONS OF AMERI CA--At a recent reception in New York, Mir. Tupper said he had not ! thought much of what he should say
 and expected 10 have the ideas present cd by his worlhier colleague, with
 whom he was enjoying the generous
 hospitality of host, whom he would
 call the Spurgeon of America, for his sermons were as widely read in En-
 gland as in this country. He wanted
 first to tell them how he had observed
 great improvements in this country since his first visit twenty-five years
 ago Then he saw much to be plescd
 with and 10 admire Now he saw much
 more. The material advancement of the country was wonderful. It had also improved, he thought, in morals. manners and religion. He wandered
 hither and thither, up and down, and made notes of what he saw, taken only for the eyes of his wife. There was nothing m thIs country now which the novelist could hold up to rIdicule and make people laugh at It m dIsrespect. There was a great deal more refinement observable. He had not yet heard foul word or unseemly phrase. He was struck by Ame- rIcan @oOd maners as observable in railway avel. The American people were also more temperate He also spoke of the religious feeling among and closed with some remarks upon the impressions derived from the Centennial Exhibition.

DALLAS, Texas, has a system of plank sewers, and has just received a hint that they are dangerous to the stability of the town. Before they are put down the blanks are soaked in tar. 10 make them durable, and the thought that this preparation might feed subterra- mean fires never entered into the heads of the builders until the town had such a fire to fight, which happened a short time ago. A party of campers built a fire directly over one of these sewers. and the covering being thin, the sewer caught fire, which soon ran along its whole length, and shot forth dangerous flames at various places. Piles of cot ton and other property had to be nov ed with dispatch. and the fire depart ment were puzzled to know where the fire was and how to get at it. It was tiDally stopped hy damming the sewer and filling It with water. and happily little damage was done, except the de strucuOn of the sewer itself Dallas thinks ofrevising ifs sewer system.

Father DeSmet used the word "reverence. '- There being no such word in LouIe's vocabulary. he turned to the father and said: Ravarance, What the devil is that?' The prayer came to a sudden termination. On another occasion Father DeSmet endeayored to baptise the Indian. children at Grand river agency, but could not get the consent or the parents.
