A Woman's Freak.

A handsome boy boarded for year in
Nashville hotel and conducted sew
ing-machine agency. He was active and
successful in business, and pet of the
women, with whom he was fond of asso-
ciating. His youthfulness insured him
more freedom with them than would have
been accorded an older beau; but one
day he hugged and kissed chamber
maid, and was complained of to the land
lord. At this point in the story the pro-
noun she" must be changed to "she."

SEARCHING FOR THE POLE.
Admiral Porter Indorses the Plan Of Capt.
Howgate for Arctic Explorations.


Howgate for Arctic Explorations.
Admiral Porter has just written letter
to Capt. Howgate regarding the latter's
proposed expedition. In it he says: I'm
my opinion there is an open sea for 200
miles toward the pole; that there are
mountains, from which are precipitated
the icebergs which lately blocked up
Robeson's channel, and that, had Mark
hams furthest point been exceeded by
sixty miles, the pack would have been
passed anh open water reached again.
Every few years we must expect Just such
a pack as Capt. Mares encountered, which
will probably last for year or two, and
will then break up. If, at the moment
of breaking mp, men and boats are in
readiness to take advantage of the OPP
portunity, great advance could be made
toward the pole. There are no greater
hardships to be encountered as high as
SO degrees than have heretofore been
surmounted by the intrepid explorers of
the Arctic regions, and when one reflects
that party from the Polaris drifted
800 miles on cake of ice, and that an
infant and its mother were all that time
exposed to the inclemencies of the Arctic
regions, we ought to have no doubt about
company of strong, active men, well
provided with everything necessary to
make life endurable in that desolate re-
gion."
The letter continues in substance that
the greatest difficulty will be found in
keeping up the spirits of the men. To
do this the Admiral suggests that each
member of the crew selected shall have a
knowledge of some useful mechanical
trade, and that he be kept occupied at
this when in winter quarters. 'In the
event Of such an expedition as you pro-
pose" the letter continues, 81 see fine
opportunity for utilizing the electric tel
egraph. Wires could be laid along the
ground or ice without much danger of
their being carried off by the bears OF
foxes" In conclusion, the Admiral
states that he can see no objection to the
proposed expedition, and hopes it may
succeed.

Chicago is suffering severely from
scarlet fever and diphtheria. At meet
ing of physicians to consider the cpl
demic and it's proper treatment resolu-
ton was offered, the purport of which
was that no medicines which could be
administered would prevent diphtheria,
and that the continued administration of
them for any great length of time would
be injurious DIR. Beebee declares that
this was aimed at his recommendation of
sulpho-carbolate of soda, which, he holds,
will destroy the germs of diphtheria, the
blood and tissues being disinfected. He

A NEW ROAD to Prescott must be opened from Yuma, via the Laguna, Castle Dome Landing and TysOn's Wells. The expense will be trifiing, and confined to work near the Laguna and on the river-bank some seven miles be- yOnd. The rest of the route affords a good natural road. The distance from here to Tyson's is under 50 miles, and from there to Prescott is about 150. This road would tap the present one at TysOn's, and has already become a public ne- cessity.

Col. J. M. BARNEY returned on Wednesdays stage, and gives us pleasant news of railroad and other matters. Last Saturday 9 miles of track were laid at the R. R. terminus, which was then just S1 miles distant from Yuma. via Hanlon's Ferry. He met Griffith, Supt Ofkerens & Mitchel's stages, who informed him that he would be here to-day to begin stringing out stock for stage line to the R. R, terminus, and who expect ed to have same running inside of 15 days. The Col. informs US, that there was no good foundation for rumOrS of the incorporation of the Silver King Mine; all talk on that matter was made by the Hamilton party. The intention, of Mr. Reagan and himself, is to handle the property just as they would any other legitimate busi- ness; to make money and to avoid nOtoriety. Prior to his purchase of MasOn's interest, Reagan had bonded to Hamilton and others for $500, 900; that bond was given Dec. 24th 1876 and expires to- day. The sum being large one, Ham ilton endeavOred to raise it, in connection with Cash weller and others, by organizing a sort of syndicate to make the purchase. Hence all the talk. Subsequent to giving the bond, the property had been found to be of more value than had been anticipated, and Reagan is reported happy to hold on.

MILITARY.-Companies B and M, Sixth cavalry, have been or dered to the vicinity of old Camp Crlttenden, with view to the protection of settlers in the San Pedro and Santa Cruz valleys. The dangerous Indians in that country are not so numerous but that the boys in blue can make short work of them, if chance is given them. Recent agitation of this matter must show the neces- sity of at once directing army op. eratlons against hostile Indians, instead of confining them to ef- forts to bring Indian Agents into discredit or disgrace.
