May-Day.

At eleven o'clock the procession of little folks, marshalsd by their teacher, NJ. H. Sherman, and preceded by the sth Infantry band left the school house. officered as indicated last week, and marched directly to the Picnic grounds west of town, making very handsome appearance as they passed through the Plaza on the line of Gurley Street. Arriving at the grounds, the Queen of May, Miss Josie Blount was led to the throne by Prime Minister John Bourke, and crowned by the Crown.besrer, Miss Rose Os- borne, assisted by full retinue, as published by us last week
 After the crowning exercises, Reclamation, dialogues, music, etc, were indulged in for a time. when the platform was cleared and the children, with enough adults to keep them straight, tripped the light fantastic spell until the hour for lunch arrived when the little ones were served first and, so far as we could observe, every one was amply provided with all he or she could get away with.
 The Committee of ladies who had the tables in charge had performed their part admirably and attended in person to sec that no little waif how ever bashful, was neglected. After the little people were satisfied the older ones were invited 10 help themselves, and it was sight to sec them go for that grub. If any grown person failed to get enough to eat or drink, it was his or her fault, for there was enough and to spare
 After the eating exercises, dancing was re- stunned for time when, by special request Of the Public School, Gov. Stafford came forward and delivered splendid speech, chiefly devoted to matters connected with the public school sys- tenn, of which he is the recognized father in Ari- zona In the course of his remarks he took oc- casion to review at some length the history of various countries where the Church was superior to the State In the matter of education, and con- pared them with others where secular education under compulsory laws was the rule, and showed that ignorance and general decline attended the former, while liberality, intelligence and entcr- prize were the characteristics of the latter. After saying good word in behalf of our contempla- ted new schoel-hOuse, and rendering $l00 as an individual donation, he spoke for few moments of himself and reasserted what We have already published in these columns coming from him. that after the close of his present term of office, which will occur next sprtng, he will retire from strong enough to tempt him to seek or accept office again.
 There were probably during the day no less than thousand people, little and big, on the ground, and if any were not pleased and satis- fled, we failed to detect it.

PECK DIsTRICT.-Last week we had prepared brief account of our trip with the road viewers to Peck and the Bradshaw mountains, but for want of time and space were obliged to leave it out, and now it seems little late tO publish it. So we have decided 10 use such particulars as We were able 10 gather, as occasion may require instead of attempting Il connected narrative Of what we saw.
 Col. Bigelow, Mir. Houghtelin and MT. Wells Coe were especially kind in showing us about the mines, and all the people we met took every pains to make us comfortable and afford us all the information possible. Bigclow and Thomp- son were pushing their tunnel in on the Peck ledge as rapidly as possible, working three shifts, aud were within S5 feet of the shaft
 Houghtelin & Curtin have let a contract to some parties who ing on the Prince.
 Smith, Buttrick & Co. were gone to dinner when we visited the Black Warrior, but eviden- ces of active operations were visible in healthy looking dumps of fine looking ore.
 Monk 6S Co, who have lease on the Eve. ming Star, were preparing slide, buckets, etc, and gettiug ready 10 commence sinking.
 Mir Coe clearing away q place at the mouth of the McKinnon x Goodwin tunnel to sink shaft some 200 feet as preliminary to fur ther operations.
 Rod Mckinnon was sinking and doing assess- ment work on an intervening claim between the mine they sold to Coe and the Jackson or War Eagle caim, on the same ledge. All these mines will receive attention as they are developed.
 Two men were running cut across the Aztec, opposite the Peck location, but had not yet struck orc.

LIEUT.. DE RUDIo.-The gallant cavalry
lieutenant, whose marvellous escape from
the Sioux makes thrilling border episode,
1s the same Rudio who, January 14th, 1883,
participated with Orsini, Gomez and Pieri
IN the attempt to kill Napoleon I'LL, by
throwing hand bOmbshells in his carriage
almost in front of the Paris Grand Opera
The building which was witness TO the act
has disappeared, having been burned in the
fall OF 1872, and we think that Gomez, who
was sent to Cayenne, has died. Orsini and
Pieri were guillottned, though not before the
Emperor In mysterious Int rview prom
ised 10 Orsini, his former c0mrade In the
italian sect or the Carbonari, that he, Napo-
leon I'LL, would keep his promise and deliver
Italy from the AustriaDs, which he did at
Solferino, eighteen months later. The last
surviving OF the principal actors in the trag-
edy Of the Paris Grand Opera would have
disappeared also II the Indians had discov-
cred the retreat of Lieut. Rudio ia the under
brush OF the Big Horn. 1t has been charged
that In the trial before the court of assizes
Rudlo had turned states evidence and been
pardoned. The lieutenant experienced, liz
fact, some annoyance on that account when
he first entered the army of the United
States. But all this part Of his life falls into
insigni6cance, especially to the eyes OF an
American public, when compared with the
recent record OF Rudio in the Indian war

RFAARKABLE CASE OF SUSPENDED AN
IMATIoN.-DuriDg the last heated term Mr.
Mark Carr, OF Walpole, Norfolk county,
Mass, very worthy laboring man about 90
years OF age, received a severe sunstrOke
The day following the attack be wandered
away, and though thorough search was In
stituted no trace of him could be found. His
friends gave up all hopes OF him, and his
estate was about to be administered upon
when news came from n farm house abou, q
mile distant from where be lived that DIR.
Carr bad appeared there. His friends imme-
diately went 10 his relief and found him
emaciated and weak. He says that he left
his home and that Is the last he remembers.
He came 10 his senses In the woods and
crawled to the nearest house. The fact is
well substanttated that he must have re-
manned In the woods In state OF uncon-
seriousness for period OF three weeks, with
out food or water. Mr.. Carr Is recovering
and the case is regarded as one OF the most
remarkable on record, as our informant is
thoroughly cOnversant with the facts as here

AGIRL 8 MATRIMONIAL FREAK.-Yester-
day the counsel for Emma Levasier, who is
suing for divorce from her husband on the
ground of adultery, made q motion In the
Brooklyn City Court, before Judge Reynolds,
for alimony and fee. The court appointed
ex-Judge Daley referee to try the case and
settle the matter of allowances. Mrs. Lsva-
sier, who is 10 years OF age, Is the daughter OF
wealthy lace and fringe manufacturer OF
the Eastern District. IL the latter part OF
1874 she formed the acquaintance of the de-
fendant, who is 81 Years of age, snd popu-
lar member OF the Turn Verein, OF Brooklyn.
On April 4ih OF the following year they were
married clandestinely by Rev. John Mean
der, OF st. Johns Lutheran church, stage
street. Mr.. Happlesborg, her father, learned
on his return home that evening OF the fact
that he had q son in-law, and that the bride,
his daughter, was then In the house in quest
Of her effects, intending TO join the expectaut
bridegroom. He became very much enTaged
and forbade her departure. After q few
tears she submitted 10 the parental msndate,
and refused to join her husband. he pro-
cured writ OF habeas corpus, which was
Ieturnable before Judge McCue, OF the City
Court When the young wife came into
court in response to the writ she testified
that her liberty was Ia 10 wise restrained by
her parents, and that she did not want to
live with her husband. The parents suoss-
Quently attempted to annul the marriage,
but they were not successful la doing SO.
Action for divorce was then instituted, or
the ground that Mr.. Levssier was guilty OF
adultery. The defence is a general denial.
Owing 10 the respectable position of the par
Ties the case excites considerable attention.
