Captain Eads' Attainments.

Captain Eads, the brilliant engineer, ls described as a man of varied and delightful attainments, and of quaint humor winch sometimes gets the better of his somewhat impassive exterior. He Is not only at home in ancient and modern literature, but surpasses hIs acquaintances by the quantity of mem. Orable and beautiful things with which he has stored an extraordinarily reten. tive brain. He is a charming reader, and-fOr reason of his Scotch descent Burns is one of hls favoritcs. He reads the poems in their own dialect with peculiar grace and feeling. It is added that his taste for poetry does not prevent remarkable requirements in the way of science, history and statis- tics, but certainly the best things about the famous engineer are the man. ly courage and faith in himsalf with which he has passed to success through countless harassing obstacles and em- barrassments.

Must be of Record.

Here is something worthy the atten- tion of those claiming lands in Arizona under Spanish or Mexican grants, taken from the Gadsden Treaty, viz:
 Article 6. No grants of lands within the territory ceded by the first article of this Treaty bearing date subsequent to the day, twenty-fifth of September, when the minister and subscriber to this Treaty on the part of the United States proposed to the Government of Mexico to terminate the question of boundary, will be considered valid or be recognized by the United States, or will any grants made previously be re- spected or be considered as obligatory which have not been located and duly recorded in the archives of Mexico.
 From this it would appear that all floating grants are worthless because not located" and that none will be respected or be considered as obliga- tory," which have not been duly re- corded in the archives of Mexico ," not in States and Territories, but must be recorded in the archives of the na- tion itself.

QUITE a curiosity in grating may be seen on MT. Lewelling's place, in Alameda county. This graft blends into one tree five varieties of the ap. pie. The four base stocks were orig inallY four independent trees, stand ing at the angles of a square, about four feet apart. The tops of these were inclined to each other, and unit de in a complex graft, after which interlacing branches were united by graft at each point of contact, forming. as 1t were, perfect framework for an aboriginal wigwam. Upon the top, at the apex of this growing structure, another graft was set, which has grown to be large, bearing tree. This skill ful warping of nature was executed fifteen years ago by J. Lewelling, and Is, perhaps, the most perfect specimen .Of complex grating on this coast Pacific Rural Press.

To the Point.

Don't ask an editor 10 do what you won't do yourself That is if you have a grievance, and want to whack some fellow over the head that has wronged you, don't ask your friend, the editor to make himself the breastwOrk to receive a thrust from your enemy. In other words, never ask an editor to take up your personal qUarrels or grievances, thereby involving him in unpleasant and improbable controversies. When you write anything for the press, in- dulging the least in personalities, do so oyer your own signature, for it is enough to ask the editor to allow you to exhibit your sores to the public through his paper, without insisting that he shall become q party to the row. In which the public have no kind of interest.

Rich Mines in Peru.

The Los Angeles Republican of the 18th instant, says:
 A number of fabulOusly rich mines of both gold and silver, which have remained unknown since the conquest, have recently been discovered near Arequipa, Peru. They all show signs of having been ruGely worked by the Quichua race before the conquest by the Spaniards. One mine is said to have sold seventy-One quintals of the ore in Arequipa for $20,000. This dIs- counts the Comstock and rivals Ari- Zona.
 It will appear ftom this that the coast journals are beginning to appreciate ArizOna's mineral wealth. Nevada has long been known as the Silver State, but districts that are now claimed to discount Nevada are only admitted ss rivals to Arizona.

Forgiveness.
BY N. F. J. NASH.

Forgive, though thy proud heart rebels, And thought Of wrong thy bosom swelIs; Though wronged thou art, still thou cans
 live,
 And freely, graciously forgive. Forgive! Prove not rebellious still! Control thy anger, curb thy will. No thought Of vengeance should there be Forgiveness should be full and free. Forgive, forgive, as thou wouIdst see Forgiveness meted out to thee; Let love and mercy have full sway, And thou will never rue the day. We often err and go astray From out the narrow, chosen way; And we have need to be forgiven, While struggling on our way to Heaven. And If we there should mercy ask, Why should it be to us a task Hard to perform while here we live. To gladly, cheerfully forgive?

SILVER KING.

The old Silver King seems to plod along slowly as usual. No one is allow ed in the mine, but we learn the ore still holds out as rich as ever. Only q few men are at work now and it is dlf ficult to imagine what the company in tend to do. The employees have not been paid off for about three months, which occasions some growing and a spirit of dullness through the dis trict. I am informed that the company will pay off before the holidays, but I can see no reason why dividend paying institution should not pay their employes promptly.

We might show the gradual process Of his
ruin, how he went on from his first venial sin
to crime. as the poor girl yielded to the
temptations that beset her, till that sad night
when she laid her head upon the shoulder of
her lover and exclaimed:

This is not necessary, however, to the i'm
pressing OF the moral this story OF tempta-
ton and weakness teaches. We scarcely
think, either, that it can be made more i'm
pressive than 1t is In the simple way in which
it Is told, even in the few short sentences of
the dispatch, which we have given almost
word for word. The story is indeed sad
one, but the moral must not be overlooked in
sympathy that can hardly be refused to the
unhappy man whose downfall it tells. Let
all men read it and realize the danger OF the
slightest deviation from strict honesty, the
smallest violation of integrity, In their bust
ness affairs. Let it impress upon them anew
that the only safety Is In stern and resoute
integrity and honor, which temptation cannot
even approach. Verify, the descent to hell is

A SAD STORY.

1t was a sad but dramatic scene that was
enacted, on Friday last, when Wm G. Gilman
walked into the Court of General Sessions
in New York and plead guilty to the crime of
forgery. The dispatches say that the officers
OF the court were affected unto tears at the mel
ancholy recital of the prisoners confession,
In which he described the gradual process of
his temptation and final ruin. 1t is not at all
surprising that they were, for judges and
ministers of justice have no exemption from
the human feelings of pity and commits
GRAFTON, and the story of Gilman's fall,
as told by himself, was a most woful one.
Here was an aged man who had, through a
long life, enjoyed the repute of an honest and
upright man. He was neither profigate
nor debauchee, a gambler nor a parasite
but a worker and toiler, living by his own in
dustry and thrift, and contributing his share
to the aggregate of human labor and en-
deavor about him. He made bad investments
by which he lost all the honest earnings of
years of thrift and prudence. There were
lying in his hands, idle and unemployed.
funds belonging to other parties, and he
sought to save himself and recover from his
misfortunes by betraying a trust and using
these moneys that had been entrusted to him.
This was the critical moment in his life, the
hour of his first temptation and concession
Here it was that the evil spirit made it's
subtlest appeals and brought into play its
most seductive arts. It is not hard to imagine
the alluring hopes, the paltry Qualifications
this Mephistopheles whispered in his ear,
Turing him by degrees from his honest pur-
poses, pleading all manner of excavations
and appealing to every weakness of his poor
human nature, till at last the small still voice
of conscience was hushed in his heart. These
trust funds were to him that costlier casket of
"ebony, brimful of pretty things which
Margaret found in her press. When he
overca ne his scruples and yielded to the
temptation their misrepresentation held
out to him, he took the first step
in that downward course that leads
by such broad ways and easy stages to
Avernus. The encroachments upon the funds
entrusted to him, he says, began years ago,
and grew gradually and insensibIy to such
magnitude that he lost all hope of ever meet
ing his deficiencies. Times grew worse in
stead of better, and he gradually drifted into
a sea of troubles, until at length, under the
pressure of adversely, he was driven to forge
ry. Blindly hoping that the next step would
extricate him he plunged deeper and deeper,
until the deepest depths were reached on FRI
common thief.
We might go on with the parallel we have
instituted between his temptation and undo

In the Thirteenth District Court of Louisi

In the Thirteenth District Court of Louisi-
ana Tor Concordia parish, Dave Young was,
last week, reindicted for the embezzlement of
the Concorda parish school funds.
The steal is an old one, having been CON-
nlitted seven or eight years ago. Dave Young
has been already indicted for it a number of
times, but has always managed to escape con-
viction through the interference of Kellogg
Or the District Attorney. When he was last
held Tor this crime there was possibility of
recovering the amount stolen, as Dave was
then wealthy; he has since disposed of all of
his property for cash, having probably fore
seen his trial and conviction.
The Dave Young school fund steal has
always been a leading issue in politics in Con-
cordia, and in the last election the great con-
test In the parish was for and against Dave
Ioung's candidates, who were pledged in ad-
rance to get him out of this difficulty. The
Young ticket, however, triumphed and his
candidates were all elected
Upon his indictment the other day Dawes
bond was fixed at $4,000. The Natchez Demo-
cys1t charges that Dave is still at large
although he has given no solvent bond. The
sheriff, who should look to the solveney of the
bond, is John Young, his own brother Con-

To-day France holds her electio,

To-day France holds her election 1t Is
probably the only election the Republicans
will carry this fall. The late assembly
whose opposition to Marshal President Mac
Mahon caused it's dissolution and the pre-.
sent crisis, was overwhelmingly Republican,
containing 1868 Republicans and 173 Conserva-
lives, the latter consisting of Bonapartists,
Legitimists and Orleanists. The popular
vote cast at the last election by which these
members were elected was nearly eight mil
Hons. OF this the Republicans cast 65 per
cent and the other three parties So per cent
In to-day's election the Republicans will
contest every district, while the Conservatives
II have NO candidates in some 90 districts in and
around Paris. OF the 5i2 Conservative candi-
dates put In nomination by the government
29S are Bonapartists, 131 Legitimists and 50
Orleanists.
The claims made by both parties in ad-
vance OF the election are simply preposterous
and worthless. The Republicans prophesy
that they will carry thirty-seven districts,
represented by Conservatives In the present
Assembly, while the government claims from
IN to 157 Republican districts, which would
give the government small majority In the
Assembly.
The probabilities OF the election. according
% intelligent correspondents, are that the
government by its pressure and the power it
mas over the ballot boxes, will gain score or
SO OF seats. This will leave the Assembly
Sill with large Republican majority, but
would doubtless be deemed or called victory
