Foreign Military in America.

The United States is having too mnch of it. Here is an item from a San Francisco paper:
 The Emperor of Austria having been apprised of the existence of an Austrian military company in San Francisco, and wishing to make them an appropriate gift emblematic of their nationality, desired them, through his Consul in this city, to select a suitable uniform for its members, to be furnished at his expense. The company met accordingly and de- cided upon the adoption of the beautiful uniform of the Imperial Jaegers of Vienna. The Emperor has been advised of their choice. and the complete outfit for l5O men is expected to arrive from Aus. tria in about two months.
 In the Boston Traveller we read of the fine appearance of Father Scully cadets, who are soon to compete for a set of cOlor5 with other armed, uniformed and or ganized companies, who like the Cadets belong not tO the State militia nor are in anywise under control of the State authorities. The city of Providence, Rhode Island, has full regiment of these armed and independently Orga. nized men, who repair monthly to the cathedral, hear mass and go out of town on target excur. sions and for regimental drill. The manufacturing towns of Fitch- burg, Lawrence and NeWbury. port in Massachusetts have com panies of the same kind. The same state of things is reported elsewhere. No such organizations are tolerated in any other country of the world and should not be suffered in America. Many of their members pretend to be Ame- rican citizt n' and 10 have ahjured all allegiance to potentates whose uniforms and flags they seem so proud to carry and whose designs against our institutions they are suspected of supporting. Those of them who are not citizens but only sojourners among us have no right whatever to enroll them. selves in armed organizations that owe the State no obedience, but that do testify their loyalty to a foreign prince or church. It is to be hoped that these pretended Americans have now displayed enough of their true inwardness to compel legislation forbidding all armed organizations in Ame- rica, except formed and paraded under the American Flag. in American uniforms sworn into the militia of respective States. and under control of legal authO- rites. They claim American pri- vilegcs and protection: in return America demands their undivid- ed loyalty.

YUMA A. IT, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER l. 1877

During 1862 and 63 rich placers and mines were discovered in the interior of the Territory, the route to which then laid through La Paz, up the Colorado to Williams Fork and then up that stream. Later the present wagon road was opened, leaving La Paz to the north and starting from a point then known as Mineral City. but in 1867 laid out and surveyed by F. Waldemar as the town of Ehren- berg. In 1862 ferry had been established at this same point by Messrs Bradshaw, J. M. RedondO and w. A. Werninger, and after ward passed into the hands of T. J. Goodman the present pro- prietor. The founders of Ehren- berg were c. II. Brinley. Isaac POlhamus, John Dow and D. C.. Robinson, all steamboat men. The new town did not amount 10 much until 1869, when the mercantile house of $. Goldwater & Bro. was moved there from La Paz and soon after followed by all there was left of that once prosperous town. The decay of La Paz was caused by the working out of the placer mines, the change in the line of travel 10 and from the in- teriOr and by the removal of the county seat to Yuma. The Colo radO Indian reservation was esta- blisned on the river bank above La Paz for the occupancy of the MOhave, Yuma, and such of the Chiunehuevi and COcOpah Indians as chose to make their homes there. In 1872 the reservation was extended to the sOuthward so as to include the then nearly aban. dOned town of La Paz. which was made the headquarters of the Hualpai Indians moved down there from Mohave county. These were mountain Indians and pined miserabIy on the reservation until they were turned loose again. When the reservation was first es. tablished, La Paz expected to derive much benefit from it. A relation of Mrs. U. s. Grant nam- ed Dent was in charge of it and spent immense sums of public money in fruitless schemes for ir. rigation etc.

erything. Eight or nine years later Jones lost his life in a singu- lar manner. In opening a bottle of porter he pricked his hand with a piece of wire, erysipelas set in and he died in a few days. After the freshet the town was rebuilt.
 In 1864 the extensive quarter masters depot buildings were erected on this side of the river by Major Wm. B. Hooper. then Tn the volunteers. They were burned down in 1867, but immediately re. built by Capt. w. B. Hughes. Maj. Hooper afterward resigned from the service and became a partner of the firm of Hooper, Hinton & Co.,, aflerward becoming head of the firm under the style of Wm. B. Hooper & Co. James NJ. Barney had been a merchant in Santa Cruz and WatsOnville, Califori ia. Business being ruined in California by the terrible drouth of 1864 he came to Yuma and first engaged in freighting on the Tue son road, but afterwards took the superintendency of the quarter masters depot Afterwards be- came a partner of Hooper's and still later bought out the whole concern, running it now in his own name.
 Hon. H. N. Alexander, now en. joying his third consecutive term as Probate Judge of Yuma county, had been City and County Treas erer Of Los Angeles county. Cali fOrnia. Political changes and the disasters Of the year of drouth brought him to Yuma, and for a long time he was at the depot in charge Of z ,vernment transpOrta. tion. The government was then transporting much of its own freight, keeping some 900 mules at the Yuma depot.
 Meanwhile the development of the placers near La Paz had made that the largest town in Arizona, next to Tucson, and, on the organ ization of the Territory, in 1861, il was made the county seat of Yuma county, remaining so until 1870 when the seat was removed to Yuma, then called Arizona City. October IS, 1862. the country then being under martial law and un. der command of Gen. Carleton, ,an election was held at La Paz which resulted in the choice of F. G. Fitch for alcalde, or justice of the peace, Pedro Badillo for first sher- tiff, Francisco Figueroa second sheriff. and Jesus Bilderain re- corder. The foregoing names iD- dicate the preponderance of Mex jeans in the population. Pedro BadillO, better known as Six. toed Pete from the pe,uliarity of his feet, now lives on the Tia Juana river, near San Diego and in Baja California near the Ameican line. His name frequently appears in the newspapers from his connec- ton on one side or the other, with all the disturbances that distress that country. The proceedings covering the election were sent to Fort Yuma for the approval of Col. G. w. Bowie, Fifth infantry, California volunteers, command ing Post. The election was held under direction of a committee of citizens of which Herman Ehren- berg was chairman. Ehrenberg was distinguished mineral0gist who had become interested in mines here. He was afterward murdered at a station on the stage road across the California desert to San Bernardino. His name was afterward given to the town of En- renberg on the Colorado, some six miles south of La Paz. In March, | 1868. an association was formed

The Library Of Congress.
ABOUT $4,000 BOOKS IN TIA NEW
BUILDING NEEDED,

The Library of Congress is prepared
with a full representation of the lates
books, documents and periodicals tt
answer the numerous drafts that arc
made upon it in every field of inquiry
Large additions have been made to the
library, especially in works on politica
economy and finance, and there are
few publications, either periodical o,
permanent, in this direction which are
not found in the collection. The en-.
tire number of volumes is now about
3l5,OOo. This library is especially
rich in periodicals, nearly all the
English and American reviews and
magazines being taken, with many Of
the most valuable in foreign languages
The files of newspapers alone now ex-
coed 5000 bound volumes.
The copyright business of the libra.
ry, notwithstanding the depressed
condition of the book trade, shows
more, entries than last year, about
II 1000 copyrights having been granted
since the LIST of January, 1877. An
increasingly large number of period
icals, musical compositions, photo
craps, engravings and maps are pro-
tected by copyright. T he library
grows SO rapidly, through its various
collections, aided by purchase, ex-
change with foreign Governments, the
despoits of national and State docu.
ments, additions from the Smithsonian
Institute and the operation of the
copyright law, that the necessity of a
new building, constructed especially
for it's accommodation and future
growth, has long been conceded. It is
believed that Congress- will, at the
coming session, provide for the better
protection and safety of this great
and invaluable library, and save the
$4,000 books, which are now being
piled upon the floors in all directions,
from further injury.
The use of the Library of Congress
by the general public is steadily In
creasing, the number of those reading
and writing by the aid of its fully
equipped store of authorities being
very large, especially on Saturdays,
when the institutions of learning in
Washington have holiday. This in.
creasing use of the privileges of the
library, especially during the session
of Congress, would alone compel an
enlargement of the facilities for read
ers, even were the library itself not
suffering from the overcrowded condi-
ton of the collection.-[Louisville

And then fixing both portraits or

He closed by strong exhortation
to the jury, and through them to the
bystanders; the panel, after they
should bring a verdict for the plain
tiff not to offer violence to the de-
tendant, however richly.he might de-
serve tin other words, not to
lynch the villain, but to leave his
punishment to God. This was the
most artful trick of all, and was cal
culated to insure vengeance.
The jury rendered verdict of IF
ty thousand dollars, and the night
afterwards Hopkins was taken out of
his bed by the lynchers and beat al
most to death. AS the court ad-
journed the stranger said, "John
Taylor will preach here at early can

He did preach and the house was

So
Mn. THURMAN, in his speech on
the Eustis case Friday, fully sub.
stantiated that gentleman's claim to
a seat in the Senate by quoting the
speech of Senator Morton last year,
wherein he declared that if Pinch
back was not elected in 1873, THEN
Eustis WAS, and that eff Pinchback
should be rejected, Republicans WILL
NOT sTULTIFY THEMSELVES, AFTER A
DECISION LIKE THAT, EY KEEPING THE
STATE UNREPREsENTED." Pinchback
WAS rejected by the Senate, and there
was vacancy filed by the election
of Eustis in January, 1875, by the
Wheeler Compromise Legislature.
Morton would not stulSify himself
by trying to prove that this is not
so, after his emphatic afirmations.

How the French Workman Lives.

The French laborer probably gets
more for his wages than any other.
His food is cheaper and more nour-
ishing. His bouillon is the LIQUID
essence of beef at penny per bowl.
His bread at the restaurant is thrown
in without any charge, and is the
best bread in the world. His hot
coffee and milk is peddled about the
streets in the morning at sou per
cup. 1t is coffee, not slops. His
half bottle of claret is thrown in at a
meal costing twelve cents. For few
cents he may enjoy an evenings
amusement at one of the many mi
nor theatres, with his coffee Free
Slxpence pays for nicely cushioned
seat at the theatre. No gallery gods,
no peanuts, pipe, smoke, drunken
ness, yelling Or bowling. The JAR
din des Plantes, the vast galleries
and museums of the Louvre, Hotel
Cluny, Palace of the Luxembourg
and Versailles are free for him to en-
ter. Art and science hold out to him
their choicest treasures at small cost
or no cost at all. French economy
and frugality 10 not mean that con
slant retcencllment and self denial
which would deprive life Of every
thing which makes it worth living
for. Economy in France, more than
in any other country, means a utili
cation of what America throws away,
but it does not mean a pinching pro-
cess of reducing life to a barren ex-
istence of work and bread and water.

A Bullet In the Brain Eight Weeks,

There is peculiar case of bullet
wound under treatment in the CITY
just now. The patient was fireman
on one OF the roads leading from St.
Louis. During the strike last summer
he was running his engine from the
city, and was about entering a tunnel
on the road, when a pistol shot was
fired. The ball struck Ross on the
right side of the bead back of the ear
and penetrated the brain. He fell,
and was sent to st. Louis and placed
under surgeons care. He was uncon-
scious when the physician examined
the wound, and the brain was oozing
from the aperture. For two weeks he
remained in this condition, without
knowing what was going on around
him. The physicians finally came to
the conclusion that he could not recov-
er, and he was sent home to his moth
er, who lives in Dayton. The wound
has now closed, and there is very little
trouble from it. The patient is doing
well, though afflicted at times with a
kind of stupor. The only pain he
feels is in his left leg, the result of a
sort of sympathetic affection. DR.. j..
E. Loves, who is the physician in at
tendance, thinks the chance of his re-
covery very strong, unless the ball,
which is still in the mans head, should
cause an liberation. The ball is that
of the average pistol size, and the Won
der is that the shock did not kill him
