Death from Starvation.

1t is distressing fact that, in this
land of plenty, death from starvation
should occur. What invented story,
for instance, can be more surprising
and touching than the history and
death of Arthur French as evolved
at the inquest held by DR.. IIardwick,
on Tuesday last? Aged slxty-tiye,
French formerly held good position
in Dublin, bat became reduced in cir
cumstances. His grandfather was
aidede-camp to the Duke of Kent,
father of her Majesty, his uncle being
a Colonel commandant of a regiment
of Dragons. He became so poor that
he determined to go to London, and
about six weeks ago started on the
journey, accompanied by his two sons.
On reaching Liverpool they could only
afford railway fare to Birmingham,
the remainder of the journey to Lon
don being performed on foot. Much
hardship was endured on the road, and,
after weeks walking they reached
town, the did mans condition being
very weak. They slept in common
lodging-houses several nights. French,
the elder, growing exhausted and Ill,
he applied for admission to the Royal
Free hospital, but was not taken in.
He next applied for admission to the
Holborne workhouse intirmary with a
like result. He then applied to doc
tor, who advised him to go to st. Pan
cras work-house. but on the way thither
he fell down in the street from eX-
haustion. and had to be assisted to his
destination by one of his sons. where
both were readily received. The old
man told his melancholy history to the
doctor, but was unable to take the food
and nourishment offered him. He
said he had not had enough to eat for
"A long time. and for some days had
scarcely tasted anything. He gradual
ly sank and died in the course of "A few
days. a post morton examination
showed that it was IA real case of
starvation. London Echo.

His Pathetic Article.

On the Bay City train coming down
yesterday was a passenger whose
strange actions drew the attention of
every one in the car. He had news
paper in one hand and handkerchief
in the other. and he would read for a
minute or two and then turn away
and weep. After this action had con
tinued for some time one of his fellow
passengers approached him and tender

man, and taking the paper he found
that the article commenced with:
"All persons are hereby forbidden to

didn't know what to say in reply. and
as he handed the paper back without
a word the griet-Stricken man re-
marked:

MILLS RUNNING AND TO RUN.-Thc Crook mill started yesterday on ore from Curtin & Cushing's mine, with some 300 tons out and waiting to be crushed from the various mines near the mill. The snow has prevented trans portaiion and the mill has consequently been idle for time. The Senator has kept pounding away all winter and will continue unless some thing breaks. There is not, nor will there be, any lack of paying ore in the Senator. accessible at ali seasons, for years to come. Luke & Cos mill, in Bradshaw, is still running on their own ores, with what success we have not heard. The inill at the Bully Bueno is ready to run, and only awaits the arrival of the copper plates which are on the way from Ehrenberg. c. E. Hitchcock has removed the battery of the Big Bug mill up the creek to the Isabella mine and erected wa ter wheel with which to drive it. He was also to start this week.

Indications of a storm today.

About week ago gentleman from Ten nessee, representing capital of S20.OOO, gave us a call, and after stating what his mission WAS, asked to look at our paper, we handed him the Morning Journal, and to our surprise he did not stop to read our newsy local "pickups," or our attractive editorial page, but turned to our advertising columns, and commenced counting our advertise ments and measuring their space.
 "Well," said he, glancing up from the paper, ais that all Is that the business of this town2 Why you haven't got near as much of a town here as thought you had"
 And then we explained to him that we have great many business men who do not advertise.
 "They are not business men to hurt If they don't advertise" was his answer.
 We could not contradict him, and we were powerless to vindicate the claims of the city.
 He left us saying that if he had time he would look around, but thought it was no place for him.
 This is one instance and fact.-[J Jeffer- son City (Mo.) Journal. Send him to Prescott with his S0,0OO the place will just suit him. Here all the business men advertise and are widc-awake

We have heard nothing from che application sent to tee Superintendent of the military tele- graph line, backed by petition uumerously sisued by our citizens for the establishment of an office here in town. The office at the Post is too fac away for any sort of convenience in com. merclal business. and it Is the belief of every one VIC have heard speak of it that the business of the line would more than pay an extra operator here by ks Increased receipts over the present arrangement. It is true that a messenger is at the office ready 10 deliver messages, and takes others to the oface when they happen to be ready for hlm when he is ou bis rounds. bu, ostso the occasion has passed before an oppor. tuulty occurs to send to the ofacc, when If i, could be reached by walking a few blocks, a rncssage would be sent and au answer returned, whercas now the business is lost to the line Then again. If the commercial and press busi ness were confined to Q city oflcc 1t would re ileve the operator at the Post of vast amount o work and enable him to devote much oi hi. ams to Signal Service matters, which under the rsseut arrangement he is unable to do. We nepe to bear that Lieut.. Reed has taken the righ, usv of the application and that the ofice may bt established.
