CAUSE OF HIS UNPopULARITY.-All the latest news from Mexico is to the effect that the new pretender, Iglesias, is attracting hosts of disaffected persons to his standard. Matamoras is the only town of the Sierra Madre that is faithful to the government, and it is believed that Rio Cultas, the com mander there, will turn it over to the revolu- tionists. Porfiic Diaz has sunk out of sight. He is represented to have foregone his aspir- ations to the Presidential chair, and to have become partisan of Iglesias, One of the causes assigned for the unpopularity of Ter do de Tejada, the incumbent President is that his government has acknowledged the debt of the nation, and negotiated another loan of $l,OOO,OO0 This may serve as the pretext for an outbreak, but most persons will prefer to go deeper and find other impel- ing motives, including the vaulting ambi. ton of certain would.be leaders, for this, the latest revolt.

DEATH OF HoN. J. K. SHAFFER.-Judge J. K. Shaffer, formerly Delegate in Con- gress from Idaho, died at Eureka, New, on the 22d of November. He was an early pioneer of this Coast, having resided many years in San Joaquin County, Cal, where he held many offices of trust, none of which did he ever betray. He removed to Idaho in 1862 and engaged in mining in connec- tion with his profession-that of the law, in both of which he was very successful, and acquired handsome competence. In 1868 he was elected to Congress, by hand some majority over the exEditor of this paper, who, although defeated by the Judge, never found fault with the manner in which it was done, and has ever held him in the highest estimation as an honorable oppo- nent, and faithful representative of the peo- pie. Judge Shaffer was native of Lex ington, Va, where he graduated and en- tered upon his profession. He was B years of age, and leaves wife and step-son. be- sides large circle of friends to mourn his loss.

Goldwater; the other half, is now used as a blacksmith shop by the energetic proprietor, MT. Howey, who has made this fine property by hard lioks on the anvil. Campbell & Roberts, the car ters, Valentine & Winder, painters; and Mr. Pierce, plasterer, are worthy of praise for the good work they have done on the splendid brick store.

A BOSTON Boy ON HENS The Boston Courier prints the following "boyis com position: :" "Hens is curious animals. They don't have no nose nor no teeth, nor no ears.
 They swaller their wittles whole and chew it up in their crops inside of 'em. The out side of hens is generally put into pillers and made into feather dusters. The inside of hens is sometimes filled up with marbles, and shirt buttons and sich. A hen is very much smaller than good many other ami mals, but they will dig up more tomato plants than anything that aint hen. Hens is very useful to lay eggs for plum-pudding. Bet your life I like plum pudding. Skinny Bates eat so much plum-pudding once that it set him into collery.

The dispute as to the boundary between Alaska and British territory is said to be assuming serious aspect" all on account of British trader, who declines to pay trib- ute to Uncle Sam's custom house at Sitka. We are not accurately informed as to the precise points of the dispute, but we should say, on general principles, that if anybody laid claim to a slice of Alaska. he ought to have it. True, it cost us a pretty penny to get it, but it is costing more to keep it, and as it does not appear to be of any particular value to anybody but the seal company, we should not be disposed to make trouble about few icebergs more or less.

ABsCoNDED.-By handbills now in circu lation, we are advised that NJ. Rogers, for. mer Sheriff of Pinal County, left Florence on November 2S, 1876, taking with him county funds. It was believed that Rogers went in the direction of Sonora. X man named Brown accompanied him. Sheriff Futile, of Pinal, offers reward of S25O for the apprehension, and delivery at Florence, of the runaway Sheriff,-who is described as about feet 10 inches high, stout frame, florid face and sandy complexion, Irish by birth" Believing the "charge" true, we hope Rogers may be caught and severely punished.

The Anpual Report of General Kautz,

The Annual Report of General Kautz commanding the Department of Arizona which appeared in Mondays MINER, is q document of rare merit, truthful in its asser, tions, and strong in its quiet, effective way of giving the history of Military and Indian happenings in Arizona during the past year. It, like most all documents framed by mili- tary chiefs who have had experience among Indian tribes and agents, sets forth the ster- ling opinion that, as it is the duty of the military to chastise said Indians, they ought, certainly, to have some say in direct ing and watching their performances upon Reservations.
 A perusal of the Report will settle the question as to the locality from whence a certain party of renegade Indians came to this section of the Territory. It will also give persons, who do not reside in Arizona, good and truthful account of white pro- gress here since the Indians submitted to the military. Last, but not least, it gives an insight into the manner in which Indian Agents, like Tonner and Jeffords, existed here on small salaries, and laid up stakes for wet days.

FAMILY NEwsPAPERs.-The value of
 family newspapers is not appreciated; but
 the rapidity with which people are waking
 up to their necessity and usefulness is one
 of the significant signs of the times Few
 families are now content with one news
 paper. The thirst for knowledge is not so
 easily satisfied; and books though useful,
 yea, absolutely necessary in their place, fail
 to meet the demand of youth or age. Our
 family newspaper is eagerly sought, and its contents devoured; then comes the demand for national or foreign news Next to the
 political come the literary and scientific jour- nals. All these are demanded to satisfy the cravings of the active mind. Family news papers are valuable to material prosperity. They spread before the reader a map on which may be traced character, design and progress If a stranger calls at hotel, he first inquiries for the newspaper; if a friend comes from distance, the next thing after the family greeting he inquiries for your newspaper; and you feel discom6tted if you are unable to find late copy, and confound- ed if you are compelled to sayyou donot take it. Family newspasers are just as necessary to fit family for its true position in life as food or raiment Show us ragged, bare footed boy, rather than an ignorant one His head will cover his feet in after life, if he is we'll supplied with newspapers He will make his mark in the world if you grati- fy that desire for knowledge. Other things equal, it is a rule that never fails. A family newspaper is family need

A RARE POLICE oFFIcER.-Von Madat. the Berlin General of Police, is a Grand Vizier of the Emperor. He knows all the secrets of the metropolis, and faithfully re- ports the most important of them to the Emperors own ear. The people never see him except on horseback, and in resplen- dent uniform. Itis his boast that he can concentrate 10000 men at any given point of the city, with fifteen minutes notice. to such a stage of efficiency has his system of mounted police advanced.
