LIEUTENANT PHILIP READE, superinten- dent of military telegraphs in California and Arizona, is still at these headquarters, hay ing been ill since his arrival some two weeks since. The Lieut., besides being good of- flcer, is gentleman of superior literary at tainments, very entertaining conversational ist and valuable acquisition both to the ser vice and society of Arizona. Just now and until new poles are provided for this line, for which there appears to have been no ade- quate appropriation made by Congress, he and all connected with or in any way depen- dent upon the line for news or business dis patches are being much annoyed. Cotton wood poles are of little practical use beyond one season, when they become rotten and fall down upon the slightest provocation.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1876.

THR CENSUS BUsrNEss-We have been left entirely in the dark as to the Juggiery going on at the Capital, except that on Sun day morning the Secretary answered dis patch of ours sent on Friday morning, say inc that he had been restrained from making the apportionment. This morning, how ever. we received the Citizen of the 18th and 18th full of self-righteousness on the part of the people of Pima County, and re- itersted charges of fraud against the Census Marshal, Board of Supervisors, and people of Yavapai The high water in Salt River and Gila last week deprived us of our Tue son mail entirely until this morning so near the hour of gong to press, that we are unable for want of time to give the matter that attention that it seems to demand. It is but fair, however, to say that if it be true, as charged in the Citizen, that certain names have been duplicated in the Yavapai roll, people who wished to be honest them selves would be more likely to attribute it to a mistake of the Marshal or his deputies, than to jump so eagerly at the idea of fraud The clear duty of those having charge of the rolls, whether before or after they were passed upon by the Board of Supervisors, would. in common sense view of the case, be to correct any errors discovered instead of jumping to the conclusion that the oifi- cers are all rascals. As to the charge that Judge Alsaps name appears in the favapal roll. the Marshal understands the law to bear him out in entering the names of all persons residing in the county at the time of the enumeration, whether temporarily or per manently, and Judge Alsap was at the time a temporary resident of Yavapai, in attend ance on the District Court. But we have not time to pursue the matter further to-day. Shall have more to say next week.

The California mail due here Monday morning did not arrive until Tuesday fore noon, being delayed at Wickenburg on ac- count of the non-arrival of the Tucson mail. It seems not generally understood that ac- cording to the Government mail schedule the mail time from San Bernardino to Pres colt is six and half days and in the event of the Tucson mail being behind time the California is necessarily detained at Wick enburg until the hour of departure as fixed by the Department. It is understood that the failure of the Tucson mail to arrive at Wickenburg was on account of high water in the Agua Fria or beyond. Since the above was written we learn by telegraph that the Gila and Salt Rivers caused the detention of the mails but that they were both falling rap idly on Wednesday morning and the mail was again on time.

.ARE YOU HAPPY:''

You ask me if I'm happy?
10 ask that opening rose,
Whose perfume scents the balmv air,
While bright its beauty giows.
You ask me if I'm happy?
TO ask yon careless bird,
Who pouIs within the leaty shade
The sweetest songs I've heard.
I,u ask me if I'm happy?
Go ask q glowing star,
That sheds its bright ettulgent beams
On myriad worlds afar.
You ask me if I'm happy?
Go ask the ripping brook,
That merily dances III and out
OF some cool shady nook.
The rose will droop her dainty head,
Her petals bright fade fast,
She will softly sigh: 'TO-mOrrOw die,
This perfume Is my last."
And through the birds sweet singing,
There rings an undertOne
OF weary saddened longing
For something all unknown.
The star that shines 80 brightly
IL glittering up too high
For human love or sympathy
TO ever come more nigh.
The merry little brooklet.
That seems to laugh and play,
Is tired. 90 tired, but never
May it rest once Oh its way.
Then, yes, am as happy
AS all the world around;
On earth all hearts are lorying
For rest that ne'er is found.

A FADED GLOVE.

Nv little granddauchte who fan would know
Why folded close in scented satin fine,
keep relic faded long ago
This pearl-gray, dainty, wthered glove of mine.
Listen: I'll tell YOU. 1t is fifty years
Since the fair day laid my treasure here
But Yesterday to me the time appears;
Ages ago to you, know, my dear.
Upon this palm, now withered as my cheek.
Love laid his fret kiss, doubling and afraid;
Oh, swift and strong across me while speak
Comes memory of loves might, my little maid!
I yet was 20 unconscious! Twas night
Some festal night. My sisters were above
Not ready quite; but l, clOaked all in white,
Waited below, and fastening my glove,
Looked up with smiling speech to him who stood
Observing me, 50 still and so intent,
wondered somewhat at his quiet mood,
Till it flashed upon me what the silence meant.
What sudden fire of dawn my sky o'erspread
What low mclOdous thunder broke my calm
Could be dreaming that this glorious head
Was bending low above my girlish palm?
His majesty of men proclaimed him king;
His lowly gesture said: Il am your slave;"
Beneath my feet the firm earth seemed to swing,
Unstable as storm-driven wind and wave.
Ah beautiful and terrible and sweet
The matchless moment! Was it life or death,
Or day or night For my heart ceased to beat,
And heaven and earth changed III single BREATH
And, like harp, some hand Of power doth smite
TO sudden harmony, my soul aWOke-
And answering, rose to match his spirits height,
While not word the mystic silence broke.
Twas but an instant. Down the echoing stair
Swept voices laughter, watts of melody
My sisters three, in draperies light az air;
But like dream the whole world seemed to ne.
A. steadyng my whirling thoughts, strove
70 grasp truth SO WondrOus, SO divine,
! shut this hand, this little tinted glove,
To keep it's secret mine, and only mine
And like an empty show the brilliant hours
Passed by, with beauty music, pleasure thronged.
PhantasmagoriS of light and flowers;
But OILY one delight to me belonged.
One thought, wish, hope, one joy, one fear,
One dizzy rapture, one star III the sky
The solemn sky that bent to bring God near;
would have been content that night to die.
Only touch upon this little glove,
And, 10. the lofty marvel which il wrought!
You wonder; for yet you know not love,
Oh, sweet my child. my lily yet unsought
The glove is faded, but immortal JOY
Lives in the kiss; its memory cannot fade;
And when Deaths clasp this pale hand shall destroy,
The sacred glove shall in my grave be laid.

as well as blows were given and taken claims
were jumped and re- jumped, the logs of one
were thrown off and those Of another put in
their stead. The confusion was increased by
the great stampede shortly after from Vir-
ginia City. At last each early settler had
claim, and strange as it may appear, from
that time to this, but little litigation has at
tended the ownership of property in Helena.
Owing to the large numbers focking in it was
found necessary to build hotel. This was
done by j. 3. Stuart, who erected it on the
very ground where the International Hotel
now stands. The institution was we'll patron
ized The first Recorder of the town was
Capt G. J. Wood. The first lady who came
to Helena was Mrs j. B. Anthony. The
first birth we have no means of ascertaining,
but the first wedding occurred on the 4th of
May, 1865, the bride and bridegroom having
eloped from Boulder, and induced Squire
Orison Miles to make them one. Early in
March, 1861, the first death, that Of DR.. s.
Rodney Pococke, of St. Louis, took place.
The remains were inferred with Masonic
rites. On the Goth of March, 1865, the Rev.
E. I. Mclaughlin delivered the first sermon.
The little congregation were seated on foun-
dation logs, while the preacher stood before
them on Natures carpet. On the 10th of
April the first Sunday school was organized,
with Mr. Mclaughlin as superintendent, and
shortly after the first day school was opened
by A. B. Patch.
The first murder in Helena was that of the
notorious gambler, Harry Slater, by the
equally notorious John Keene, and occurred
in the door of Sammy Green's saloon, which
was then situated on Bridge street, at the
foot of Water street. The murder was CON-
mitted on the 7th day of June, 1866, and
served as the basis for the first trial ever held
in this town, and for the organization of the
Vigilance Committee here. Keene was cap
tured by Colonel Robt Lawrence, and was
lodged in the house of Sheriff Wood on Main
street. From here he was taken and tried in
lumber yard The trial lasted through the
evening of the 7th and the morning of the 8th
of June Keene was found guilty, and at
mans Tree" This was the first execution in
Helena
The first church building erected in Helena
was log one, built by the Methodists, on Joliet
street. 1t was dedicated on the 23d Of July,
1865, by the Rev A. NJ Hough. The first
baptism was that of road agent, condemned
to death by the Vigilantes during the summer
of 1865, and baptized at his own request by
the Rev. E. T. Mclaughlin.
The first newspaper issued its 'No. T. in
the early part of December, 1866, and was
called the Radiator It afterwards became

There are still among US many Of the
"old timers," and we would suggest to
them the propriety of furnishing us with
"reminiscences and incidents connected with
the first days of Helena. We will at some
future time continue these notes down to re-

Ancient Skeletons in English Grounds.

Fifty-one skeletons have been discovered
within the old Battle bitches of Saffron Wal
den. The subsoil is chalk, and most Of them
inferred barely foot in that stratum. The
grave of one was deeper than the rest, and
as necklace of glass and silver beads, with
three metal ornaments, and large knife or
dagger, were found in it, it is supposed by
some to be that OF Saxon chief. With two
exceptions, they were buried with their head
to the west There are also evidences of
battle, some Of the bones being broken, and
one having had piece cut out from the
right side of the skull. The remains are in
very good state Of preservation. There are
evidences. also, of earth dwellings, some
about seven feet in diameter, and portions Of

RED DEVILS.
The Indians Attack and Murder Parties
Travelling to the Black Hills.

Fl. LARAMIE, April 20.-Mr Milligan, of
Scranton, Pa, arrived here this evening, and
says while coming in on the morning of the
10th, his party was attacked by the Indians,
in Red Canon, near the Cheyenne River
Rancho, about fifty miles from Custer. A
few of the party escaped to the rancho. Mr..
and Mrs. Mitz, of Laramie City were killed,
a colored woman taken prisoner, and man
named Simpson was also killed. Their bodies
were buried the next day, and it was found
that Mrs. Metz had been ravished. The three
men wounded we're Grichan, from Missouri,
mortaly; Tilton, from Missouri, and G. W.
Burgesse, from Virginia City, Nevada, Sc
riously 1t is feared that their wounds may
prove mortal. The wounded men are at the
Cheyenne River Rancho. The place where
the attack was made is about 120 miles from
this post. Parties from the Black Hills to-
day say that about ten days ago three wagons
were found at the entrance to Buffalo Gap,
on the Yankton route, destroyed, the stock
gone, and the signs of fight were numerous.
The wagon-covers had been shot to pieces,
and parts of the material with which the
wagon had been loaded were lying around,
some with marks of balls on them. The In
dians had undoubtedly attacked and destroyed
the entire outfit.
