SANDER.

Never use lady's name in an
improper place, at an improper
time, or in mixed company. New
er make assertions about her that
you think untrue, or illusions that
she herself would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do
not scruple to use a woman's name
in a reckless manner, shun them
they are the very worst members
of the community; men lost to
every sense Of honor, every feeling
of humanity. Many a good and
worthy woman's character has been
forever ruined and her heart broken
by a lie, manufactured by some
villain, and repeated where it should
not have been and in the presence
of those whose little judgement
could not deter them from circulat-
ing the foul and Dragging report.
A SANDER is soon propagated, and
the smallest thing derogatory to a
woman's character will fly on the
wings of the wind and magnify as
it circulates, until its monstrous
weight crushes the unconscious
victim. Respect the name of wom-
an. Your mother and sister are
women, and as you would have
their fair name untarnished, and
their lives unimbittered by the
slanderer's bitter tongue, heed the
i'll your own word may bring upon
the mother, the sister OF the wife
of some fellow creature.

The London correspondent Of
the New York Times says: / have
just received the following special
dispatch from Messina: Capt.
Boynton has crossed the Straits
Of Messina, passing successfully
through both Scylla and Charybdis
during the prevalence of a severe
gale, which caused the destruction
of one of the accompanying ves-
sells. Fortunately there were no
lives lost. The trip took FIVE hours,
and was witnessed by the American
Consul and many distinguished
Italians. Shortly after starting,
Boynton received blow from the
tail of one of the large fishes which
abound in the straits, but upon the
approach of the harpoon boat he
was found entirely uninjured and
laughing at the mishap. Notwith-
standing the predictions that he
would never leave the water alive,
Capt. Boynton landed in excellent
condition and in no way fatigued
by his marvellous exertions. His
reception by the entire population
of Messina was most excited and
enthusiastic. He was officially
welcomed by the Mayor and au-
thorities, aud subsequently enter
tanned at public banquet. Capt.
Boynton compares the Scylla and
Charybdis to the rapids and whirl-
pools of the Niagara river"

"To the memory of Patrick Con-

by his fellow workmen."
These words you may read any
day upon white slab in cemetery
not many miles from New York
but you might read them a hun
dred times without guessing at the
little tragedy they indicate, with
out knowing the humble romance
which ended with the placing OF
that stone above one poor and hum
BILE man.
In the shabby frieze jacket, and
mud laden brogans, he was scarcely
an attractive object as he walked
into Mr.. Bawn's great tin and hard

"Up in New Hampshire, where 1
used to live when boy" says Gov.
Noyes, "there was an old deacon
who was a great deal more pious
than honest. He was an old hy-
pocrite, and when he had done a
particularly mean thing he eased
his conscience by going out into a
field, along one side of which was
a stone wall, and kneeling beside
it praying the Lord to topple it
over on him if he had done any
thing offensive to him or wrong in
his sight. Well, we boys found it
out, and one day when we saw the
deacon making for the stone wall,
we got on the other side and wait
ed. He knelt down according to
his usual custom, anu went through
his usual formula, closing with the
petition to have the wall topple
over il he had done wrong. And
we toppled it. Jumping out from
under the stones, the old man cried
out in tones Of mingled distrust
and alarm: "Good gracious can't
you tell when a man is joking"

"Fully supplied, my man." said
Mr.. Bawn, not lifting his head from
his account book.
"Id work faithful, sir, and take
low wages until | could do better ;
and I'd Learnt would that"
1t was an Irish brogue, and Mr..
Bawn declared that he never would
employ an incompetent hand. He
turned briskly, and, with his pen
behind his ear, addressed the man,
who was only one of the fifty who
had answered his advertisement for
four workmen that morning.
"What makes you expect to
learn faster than other folks--are
you any smarter|
"I'll not say that" said the man ;
"but I'd be wishing to; that 'ud
make it aisier.'
"Are you used to the work p
"I've done bit of it."
"Much 2"
"No, yer honor; I'll tell no lie.
Tim O'Tool hadn't the like of this
place but l know bit about this"
"You are too old for an appren-
tice, and you'd he in the way, |
calculate" said Mr.. Bawn, looking
at the brawny arms and bright
eyes that promised strength and
intelligence. Besides, / know
your countrymen--lazy, good-for-
nothing fellows, who never do their
best. No, I've been taken in by
Irish hands before, and l won't
have another"
"The Virgin will have to be after
bringing 'em over in her two arms
thin," said the man, despairingly !;
''for I've tramped all day for the
last fortnight, and niver a job can
l get; and that's the last penny /
have, yer honor, and it's but a half
one"
As he spoke he spread his palm
open with an English half penney
upon it.
"Bring whom Overt" asked Mr..
Bawn, arrested by the odd speech,
as he turned upon his heel and
looked back again.
"Jist Nora and Jamsey."
"Who are theyp
"The vans me wife, the other
me child" said the man, "Oh,
masther, thry me. Howl they ever
come to me if no one will give me
a Job! / want to be airning, and
the whole big city seems against it
and me with arms like them!"
He barred his arms to his shoul-
deres as he spoke, and Mr.. Bawn
looked at them, and then at his
face.
"I'll hier you for the week." he
said sand now, as it's noon, so
down into the kitchen and tell the
girl to get you your dinner-a hun
CRY man can't work"
And with an Irish blessing the
new hand obeyed, while Mr.. Bawn,
untieing his apron, went up stairs
to his own meal.
Suspicious as he was of the new
hands integrity and ability, he was
agreeably disappointed. Connor
worked hard, and actually, at the
end of the week, he was the best
workman in the shop.
He was a great tallSer, but not
fond of drink or wasting money.
AS his wages grew, he boarded ev-
cry penny, and wore the same
shabby clothes in which he made
his first appearance. "Beer costs
money!" he said one day, sand ev-
cry cint spend puts off the bring
ing Nora and Jamsey over and as
for the clothes, them have must
do me-better no clothes to me

1t was slow work, but he kept a
1t all the same. Other men
thoughtless and full of fun, tried
to make him drink, made a jest o
his saving habits, coaxed him t.

ment, and share their Sunday frol

"She would niver go alone," he
said. "She'd be lost enthirely. ]
bade her wait; but | don't see her
boy. l think she's not in it."
"Why don't you see the Captainl"
asked one. Connor jumped at the
suggestion. In moment he stood
before a portly, rubicund man, who
nodded to him kindly.
81 am looking for my wife, yer
honor" said Connor, "and l can't
find her"
perhaps she's gone ashore" said
the Captain.

"Women don't always do as they
are bid, you know" said the Cap
tain.

maybe she didn't come. / some
how think she didn't"
At the name of Nora the Cap
tain started. In a moment he
asked:
"What is your name q
"Pat Connor," said the man.
"And your wife's was Nora ?"
"Thats her name, and the boy
with her, is Jamsey, yer honor"
said Connor.
The Captain looked at Connor's
friends, they looked at the Captain.
Then he said, huskily:
"Sit down, my man; I've got
something to tell you."
"She's left behind 2" said Connor.
"She sailed with us" said the
Captain.
"Where is she 2" said Connor.
The Captain made no answer.
"My man." he said, 1--WE all have
our trials. God sends them. Yes,
Nora started with u.s."
Connor said nothing. He was
looking at the Captain now, white
to the lips.

the Captain. 1--WE had illness on

said one man in q half whisper.
"You know how long we laid at

said Connor. "Did you say Nora
went ashore a.! / ought to be lookin'
for her, Captain"
"Many died." went on the Cap
tain--"many children. When we
were half way here your boy was
taken sick"
"Jamsey," gasped Connor.
"His mother watched over him
night and day." said the Captain,
"and we did all we could but at
last he died-only one of many.
There were five buried that day.
But it broke my heart to see the
mother looking upon the water.
"'It's his father / think off," said
she, hes longing to see poor
Jamesy.
Connor groaned.
"Keep up if you can, my man."
said the Captain. al wish any one
else had it to tell rather than l.
That night Nora was taken i'll,
very suddenly. She grew worse
fast. In the morning she called
me TO her. Tell Connor / died
thinking of him. she said +; 'and
tell him to meet me- And, my
good man, God help you. She
never said anything more-in an
hour she was gone."
Connor had risen. He stood up
trying to steady himself, looking at
the Captain with his eyes as dry as
two stones. Then he turned to his
friends:
"Pve got my death, boys" he
said, and then dropped to the floor
like a log.
They raised him and bore hin
away. In an hour he was at hom,
in the little bed which had beer
made ready for Nora, weary will
her long voyage. There, at last
he opened his eyes. Old Mr.. Bawi
bent over him; he had been sum
moned by the news, and the room
was full of Connor's fellow work
men.

He ran about twenty yards and fell Constable St. Clair appeared promptly and the burglar was found to be an Indian He appeared to be dangerously wounded and was carried up to the jail on dray A charge of burglary was entered against him, but later in the forenoon he died and was turued over to the Indians.

No steps whatever having been taken for preventing the spread of small poX here, we still have it among us. Unfortu- nately it does not kill or even sickcn its pvictims. The doctor says the disease is small poX, but most of the patients are al ways up, dressed and about half the time around the streets. If they would only get sick enough to die or to stay at home, there would be less necessity for taking precautionary public measures. Los An geles talks about Investigating Yuma and putting us under quarantine. We wish she would. If small poX is here we want to know it and to have police regulations adopted for putting a stop to it. Last summer we had d panic and burned up Squire Walkers clothes and smoked him, before allowing to come into town. This winter the doctor has been preaching small pox at us for six weeks, the patients are said to be right here in town, and we smoke nothing.

which poor men have no business. The gravel for mile below it has been worked by dry washing, i. e. by agitating it by hand, picking off the stones and allowing the wind to blow away the dust. But this process is far from being an exhaustive one andfor hydraulic washing the gravel is practically virgin.

RAILROAD improvements here continue just fast enough to not got too far ahead of Congress. Grading for passenger plat, forms goes on near the end of the bridge the earth being distributed along Madison avenue, on both sides of the track. Heavy timb.rs have begun to arrive for construct ing steamboat ways and repair yards at the bank of the river, just above the ferry. The water tanks are finished and the plans are here for laying the pipe. It is sur missed that residents of Yuma will he allow ed to purchase water by making pipe con- nections as their own expense, The water will be raised by steam pump run from the foot of Main street. The same boiler will run a steam windlass for loading and unloading the steamboats. At Dos Palmas a new water tank is being built, to be filled from the well there. Between Yuma and Mammoth Tanks are being put in new culverts and trestle work, to guard against repetition of the late wash out.

 THE Moreno Mining Go. give q fair eX- ample of what is yet to be done with mines Tn Yuma county, which have for years been passed by, probably because they were too accessible and not invested with the fas- cination of danger from hostile Indians This company was incorporated Oct. Sth, 1877, having for directors W. B. Ready, of Sacramento, Cal, D. Linderman, of Ala meda, II. Rosenkrans and R. B. Saffold, of San Francisco, and D. s. Lusk of Sacra- mento, now superintendent. They went to work on a mine over which passes the stage road to Prescott and which few ex- perts have seen fit to examine; it was too near home and too safe. The surface shows 76 different veins of mineral, carry ing gold, silver and lead, all pitching to- ward the center vein. They run over a little hill some so feet high and crop for the entire length of the claim, 1900 feet A contract was let for sinking a shaft 100 feet deep. At fifty feet they already have two feet of ore assaying from hundreds to thousands; several of the smaller veins are coming in and the mine bears every indi- cation of producing one of the richest ore bodies yet reported in Arizona. None of the men connected with the Moreno com pany are known as mining sharks or stock thieves. So fur everything seems to indi- cate that the property will be worked hon. estly ana for the best interest Of stockhold- CTS. The mine itself is most advantag ge ously situated, on the main travelled road, about 40 miles from the Colorado river at Ehrenberg We noted last week that one of the directors had been down here with an expert and that they consider the ore development in the mine already sufficient to justify putting up mill. This will be done at an carly day.

ATTRACTED by good reports and rich specimens brought in from around Gila City, the editor went out there this week in hopes of striking something that would pan out better than printers ink. We found T number of miners and dprospcctors ont there, waiting for the gravel to get dry enough to work. Six Papag0 families were camped near the station and have been bringing in about ten dollars day tor several weeks. One Indian had been mining on bar down the river below the station, getting four to six dollars a day for some time. Sherman and Donaldson had gone over toward the Colorado. Tine rich diggings south of the river extend from Gila City to Oroville, a distance of nearly three miles; this distance is by the stage TO Id which describes nearly semi circle. Across the heads of the gulches there cuts q great ledge of decomposcd quartz, crossing the radii of the semi-cir- cle and cropping out for mile and half. Below this ledge has been done all the min ing; above it there seems to be no pay; the natural inference is that from it has come all the gold. We failed to find very rich quartz upon its surface, although ev- cry piece we prospected gave from one to several colors. The ledge is so large, so of the projected Southern Pacific Railroad and within twenty miles of it's present ter minus, that there is no doubt it will soon be worked upon large scale. It is one of those lodges that reward capital, but with
