Stage Robbers Put to Flight.

MARYsvILLE, June 21st.-The
Downieville stage was stopped to-
day at the foot of Stanfield Hill,
about eighteen miles from this
place, by two masked men. The
driver saw the men first, and when
the stage came near enough, the
messenger, Hackett, who was sit
ting beside the driver, raised his
gun, when both the would-be
robbers broke and ran, pursued
by the messenger, who found
near the road the pants and vests
of the robbers, a satchel contain
ing provisions. and the packages
of dust taken from the LapOrt
stage yesterday, together with two
watches and considerable coin.
Parties are in close pursuit. Off
GERS have gone out from this city.
The capture of the rascals is deem.
ed certain.

WE have heard and read of
many cases of mental abstraction,
commonly called absent minded
ness, but the one that we are in.
formed occurred recently in the
vicinity of Prescott is a little too
heavy. A lady was cooking break
fast and had prepared her coffee
pot, which she placed on an easy
chair, and then seated herself on
the hot stove. She was soon re-
minded of the sufferings of the
early martyrs, but with wonder.
full fortitude kept her seat until
her husband came in and lifted
her from her perilous position. 1t

his former home and friends at
Norristown, Pennsylvania. The
Centennial Exhibition will form
a principal feature in this visit of
himself and wife to the east Mr..
White has been on the coast many
years and this is the first inter
mission from hard, drudging and
unremitting labor. The superior.
ity of the professional work COM
ing from his hands is known to
many. but fewer know how hard
and laborOus he makes all his work
by his answering fidelity to duty
and professional conscientious
ness. He returns here in Sep
TENDER and will bring his wife
with him, to permanently make
his home and business in Tucson.
Mr.. TT. G. Hooker has been in
town from his ranch several days
during the past week. He in
forms us of very serious loss by
fire on the part of Messrs. Ramsey
& Whalen at Mountain Springs
Station. Their temporary quarters
at the station took fire lately and
burned so rapidly that everything
was destroyed before any efforts
could be made to save them. They
lost their house, effects, tools and
all. Such a blow as this is rather
disheartening but they will inn
mediately go to work to repair
damages and recuperate.
John WATSON, surveyor general
for Arizona, returned to Tucson
on Thursday morning, from his
several months' trip to the Cen.
tennial. Mr.. WATSON is one OF
the Commissioners from Arizona
to the great Exhibition and his
yearly visits, eliminating in the
extended one of this Spring have
given him the best of facilities
and opportunities for becoming
familiar with the organization
and completion of the Exposition,

of the Territory entities him to
the credit always due the faith

We are informed that General
Kautz has ordered the establish

Major J. w. Cornyn, who left
here May %, for his home in the

health for some time before his
departure from here and only
lived to get as far as Los Angeles
where he died on June 2.

The following is what the Citi-
zen says about the Internal muir.
derer, Poinsenay, who escaped
from some civil officers in Pima
County:
The escape of Pionsenay seems
to have settled down into per-
manent and notifying misfor-
tune. News was received the
first of the week that Agent Clum
had immediately set some of his
scouts on the trail and after these
had followed it for some time,
they found that Pionsenay had
been Joined by six other Indians,
! two bucks, two women and two
children, and had escaped into
the mountains. The pursuing
party having no transportation
were compelled to return and
Agent Clum telegraphed General
Kautz the facts when orders we're
issued for the sending out of q
scouting party from Bowie. The
last we have heard is that in obe-
dience to this order, party con.
sisting of a sergeant and ten men
had left Bowie and taken the
trail of the fugitive Indians. This
escape must have been peculiarly
aggravating to Mr.. Clum. After
arduous and fatiguing labors he
starts TO return here with not on
ly the supreme qualification that
the removal Of the Indians has
been a great success but having
in his possession as prisoner the
arch Apache fiend, Pionsenay
himself, the leader in the late
murders. Here was the certain
retributiOu of law to be exhibited
to an Indian whose tribe had new
er known any law but the Chiri-
cahua system of rewards for crime
But some civil officers of the law
take possession of the criminal
and the latter escapes. If PiOn-
senay is captured or dies of his
wound, it will not be so bad. But
he will probably recover, and, il
not captured, we shall be very
likely to hear from him in the
future at frequent intervals. This
one escape may cause the death
of a score of innocent victims.

Porter and Pedro.

When Admiral Porter was pre-
sented to Dom Pedro he said to
His Majesty, ST had the honor of
attending your wedding before
you did I" Dom Pedro enjoys a
joke, and was we'll pleased with
this one, which, paradoxical as it
sounds, was literally true. Donna
Teresa, the Empress, is a NeapOli-
tan Princess, and was married to
Dom Pedro by proxy in Naples.
Admiral Porter, then young Of
ficer, was with the United States
feet in the Bay of Naples at the
time, and was present at the
marriage. He was also on one of
our vessels which formed part of
the escort of the bride out of the
harbor. This vessel was on its
way to Rio, and reached the
Brazilian Capital in time for Adj
miral Porter to witness the actual
marriage of Dom Pedro and his
bride.

The San Francisco Board of Su-
pervisors did not end their trou-
bles, it seems, by refusing the pre-
sent owner of Chaves' head per-
mission to exhibit it. Revenge
is sweet and the holder of the
head haunts that Board like grim
death. He has offered all sorts OF
propositions in the shape of COM
promises: such as, if he is allow
ed to exhibit the head to Sabbath
schools he will admit the men,
bers of the Board and their fami-
lies free, and will give half the
proceeds to the heather; if he is
allowed to incorporate on the
head and issue stock, he will pre-
sent each of the supervisors with
a certain number of paid up
shares. This stock proposition
struck most of the board in a
weak point and they nearly yield
ed permission, but Strother got
to shouting again and spoiled the
whole thing. The owner fears he
will yet be compelled to take it to
the Centennial or have it spoil on
his hands. He has had PROPOSE
tions from several Chinese, but
he don't like TO let them have it
as he is afraid they want it for
head-cheese.-CStize7a,

FROM tne PnlladelPhla Ledger
Fire Cracker and Burnt Boy"
is the animation title by which
the New York Tribune describes
the amateur juvinile celebration
of the "Fourth of July" AS the
Centennial anniversary may be a
hundred times more noisy in
crackers, and vocal in cries of pain
than any that have preceded
it; and as the conflagration of
houses, and in some instance large
sections Of cities-llke Portland,
Maine, and Allegheny City for
instance, have been caused by the
careless sport of fire crackers and
fire arms, it is not too early to
think of prevention. There are
laws and municipal ordinances
enough everywhere so meet the
danger. Ordinances, however,
unenfOrced are worse than useless;
and without the support of pub
lie opinion, the effort of the mu-
nicipal authorities are wasted.
Such displays of fireworks as are
made by experts, with authority,
and in localities out of the way of
doing harm. are pretty features of
public holiday proceedings; i'm
promptu flashes are always accom-
panied with danger.

One of the most beneficent pro-

ter all the labOrs, tolls, anxieties

able to lie down and enjoy "tired

Sleep" The world with all its
: cares and perpIexities is for the
time shut out, and we fevel in

is clear and void of offence toward
God or man, those dreams. are
apt to be sweet and refreshing to
the spirit, and we rise reinvig0r-
ated in mind and body, and pre-
Z pared to pursue the avocations of

pought that if some of those

they would give half of their
wealth for the privilege. But no.
tThey don't want to try 1t. They

A"On beds of down bedecked with gold,

Well, let them lie there. Who

Nhabit of sleeping too much ? We
think there is such danger. We
