MEssRs. CHARLES MCMILLEN, Ed. L. Cummings, N. L. Griffin and Josiah Flour
 ney arrived in town on Sunday last, after
 an extensive time with the boys " in san
 Francisco and grand cities Of the East.
 Like most of the boys" who go of on a
 " time," they don't possess quite as much spare change as when they left the silver fields of Arizona a few months since. However they have had their fun and are now prepared 10 settle down to work. The party except MT. Griffin left for the Globe
 District on Monday. Mir. Tourney Is principal owner in the Hannibal, the first northeast extension Of the StOnewall Jack son. Mir. Cummings, MT. DeviEe and an eastern banking firm are the other owners. Mir. Chas. McMlllen, of Stone
 wall Jackson fame, has been engaged as
 the Superintendent of the Hannibal. Charlie intends to open up the mine at Ionce, and under his management, rapid developments may be expected. Mir. Me
 Millen has done as much as any one man towards attracting attention of the outside
 world Arizonaward by the discovery of and operations upon the StOnewall. We .congratulate the Hannibal Company on securing his services.

Three Dead.
HIGHLAND,

From a correspondence to the Yuma Sentinel, we notice that a fearful triple tragedy took place at Blackberry near Mineral Park on Sunday the 18th ulti- mo. Frank McNeal was murdered by Robert White and Charles Rice, the citizens pursued, and captured White and Rice, and brought them back to where McNeal had been murdered, here White sprang from his captOrs and attempted to escape, when dozen bullets from the rifles in the hands of the citizens perforated the body of the said White, sufficiently to permit his soul to escape, and the Territory is saved the expense of prosecution. Rice was then suspended at the end of a rope and the next morning it was found that he was dead. We can but commend this swift justice, it has a civilizing tendency, and is a good way to reform murderers.

The Original Man and Woman.

Tread in a book once, I don't know
where, but l read it, that a man was
made first, and then, as the French
translate it, a outlet was taken out of
him and of this outlet a woman was
created, who tempted him to sin, who
in his turn blabbed on her. 1 W
liked that story. ldon't know whether
it is true or not, but I never liked it.
Now I'll tell you another, and 1 think a
prettier story that 1 read somewhere
else. The Supreme Brahma made a
man and a woman. He didn't make
the woman out of a scrap; she was a
complete job by herself. After making
this couple he put them on the Island
Of Ceylon and allowed them to become
acquainted with each other. (Mr. In
gersoll drew a beautiful picture of the
happiness among the birds and flowers
with a corresponding absence of moth
er-in-laws.) And they fell in love and
married. That's good anyway. 1 be-
lieve in love before marriage. But the
Supreme Brahma commanded that they
should not leave the island. The man
got up big desire to go West, and the
devil knowing this tempted him
with q mirage, and seeing a strip of
narrow land leading to the mainland,
they found it only a barren waste.
T%hereupon the man fell upon his face
and confessed his fault, and that he
tempted the woman, for which confess
sion the Supreme Brahma allowed them
both to live. Now, 1 don't say which
Of these stories is true. 1 don't say
either of them is, but 1 solemnly de-
clare 1 like the last one a great deal the
best. Bob Ingersoll's lecture.

A New England Tea Party.

as they sought q sunny spot and sat

black inquired:
"Say, Jeffersonl why don't your folks
git up a New England tea-party, and
hev some style about 'emp"
"They hev 'em every week or two.
Had one last night agin," responded
the small boy.
"Many stylish folks on hand?.'
"Only three-dad, nam and me. Dad
came in about 6 O'Clock dancing on his
heels and one eye all bunged up, and I
knew there'd be a soiree before the
clock struck 4. We got down to supper,

measure by cutting out the headings Of
newspapers and FASTING them on stih
cardboard. But Mrs. Gould'sown words
best tell the story: She was visiting us
and had come in to see the school. The
children were attentively listening to
the story of the babe of Bethlehem
Beatrice listened too, but suddenly her
voice rang out clear and strong, like the
sound Of some powerful wind instru-
ment. Slowly and distinctly she began
the same story in verse. Her eyes were
fixed, with a gaze so distant and earn
est that she seemed looking back
through the ages upon the star of the
east, the manger, and the new born
child. One could have imagined that
the fable of the SYPHILIS had for the first
time become a living truth, and that
from the lips of one to whom the gift of
second sight was permitted dropped
words of inspired wisdom. 1t was a
scene never to be forgotten. "lCincin-

Talking in Verse.

An improvisatrice has lately been dis
covered in Rome, in the person of a
young girl is years of age, who has been
giving public seances. The other even
ing 1 witnessed a trial of her at a pri-
vate reception, given in the old palace
of the Governo Vecchio. Three themes
were given her, one "Michel Angelo,
who kissed the hand of Victoria Colon
ma on her deathbed;'' another "Beatrice
Cenci," the latter probably suggested
by the palace where the entertainment
took place, in the old tower of which
Beatrice was imprisoned. In all these
attempts she showed a great facility for
making verses, and it was remarkable
to hear her on the spur of the moment,
talk in rhyme, though her verses need
ed thought and study to perfect them.
She is now under a master, himself an
improvisatore, and the n who first
discovered the power in her, and her
talents give promise of a happy result
when ripened by time and study.
Giannina Mile, originally of Naples,
though for some years of Rome, where
until her recent marriage, she had
charge of the normal school for girls, is
a most distinguished example of this
wonderful gift. Lately, however, from
the practical, business-like nature of
her occupation, she has become some
what out of practice, for this power,
which depends on the development of
the imagination, is weakened by too
close contact with the hard realities Of
life. One who heard her in former years
says that her mp%rovisations were perfect
productions, and would bear publica-
ton without the least alteration. But,
as may be imagined, this was a terrible
strain on her, and left her as weak
afterwards as though she had been
through a fit of sickness.
The late Mrs. E. B. Gould gives a
most entertaining account of an impro-
visatrice, an entirely illiterate woman,
over seventy years of age, way up in
the Apprentices. Here Mrs. Gould was
spending the summer of 1874, and had,
according to her usual custom, collect
ed the children of the neighboring peas
ants into o school, the literature OF
