Chicago Missionary Meeting.

We clip the following items from the proceedings of a missionary meet ing lately held in the piOus city of Chi cago:
 The ladies and Sabbath-schools of the Presbyterian Churches of Colorado propose raising $500 for the establish ment of new mission, at the Aztec Pueblo O: Zuni, in New Mexico, on the edge of Arizona.
 The action of the General Assembly, in authorizing the Home Mission Board 10 commission lady teachers and Bible readers to Utah and New Mexico, and the knowledge that the work was actually commenced, lncreas- ed the interest of the meeting. There is an earnest call for twelve lady mis- sionaries for Utah, and as many more for the work among the MeXicans and AZtecs of New Mexico and Arizona.
 Rev. Sheldon Jackson, just returned from a six weeks missionary tour among the ancient Aztecs and idolaters of New Mexico and Arizona, exhibited some of the idols wOrshiped in that section, and made an appeal to the Christian women of the Church in be- half of the degraded and idolatrOus women of their own land.

The Black Hills.

We had a conversation this week with MT. Murry Durham, of Oakland, who has just returned from the Black Hills, and elicited from him some in teresting facts concerning that region. He says the regIon is one about which two entirely different accounts may be given and yet both be true, which is probably the reason why so many con tradictory stories are current One thing. however, admits of no contra diction, which is, that the place is the worst one for a poor man that can be conceived. If he depends on his labor alone he cannot possibly make liv- ing. Any man Is foolish to go there thinking that he will be able to get a living bv working for other people in case he does not strike a rich claim. There are lots of men there now will ing and glad to get a chance to work for their board Provisions and tools are very high. No credit whatever Is giyen. The richest man in the coun- frv could not get trusted for ten cents worth of grub. Nothing but hard cash will satisfy the people in there, most of whom, who have anything Co sell are eastern men who have had no expe1ence in mining camps and are the closest" people that ever lived Mining and Scientific Press.

One uaines.

It was our rather unpleasant duty to dish up one R. R. Flames, several years ago, for lying about Arizona in which he had only received kindness. He tried to economize in living and got mad because he failed even though he succeeded in getting bad beans. We thought he then learned some wisdom but if he did, he seems to have for gotten, as witness this from The Sen tinel of June 30:
 k. R. Haines was ont here boss ing" the erection of the Military Tele- graph-and nIce grapevine affair he did make It. He went away. and by slandering Arizona got the nick name of " Dirty Beans Haines" Telegraph people sent him into InyO county and the Coso Ne,-s IS now scalping him for his dirty breaking aout abaout the maouth " in regard to that section. It is about time the Western Union Co., learned to employ men who can trans act their business without slandering the very people by whom the company expect to be patrOnized.

Mining Products.

Notwithstanding the low price of stocks, the products of gold and silver on the Pacific coast do not decrease. Mining would be no more a hazardous business than farming or stock-grow- Ing, if conducted with correspond ing intelligence and economy. Farm ing and stock growing succeed best with those trained therein, but neither requires the scientific knowledge to insure success, which quartz mining does Pima county is almost a net work of lodes containing gold and sil- yer ores in paying quantities, provided they were worked so as to save from eighty to ninety per cent. of the pre- ciOus metals, as is now saved in Neva- da and Colorado and 10 some extent in Utah and Montana. Because stocks are low, too many fall to decryIng min ing as neither a safe nor legitimate business. People forget that the Com stock at present is producing more of the precious metals than at any time since its development; that the two bonanza mines-Consolidated Virgin ia and California-are sending down to San Francisco over S3,0OO.000 per month, of which $2,160,OOO finds its way into the pockets of shareholders. Just think of two mines yielding thir- ty-six millions year, One-half of which is gold, too. And had these mines not been worked or managed by scientific as well as otherwise cOmpe- tent men, they would have been flat failures long before they were known as bOnanZas.

Improved Horseshoe.

NIT. Yates, of Manchester, England has invented a horseshoe, composed of three thicknesses of cow-hide, com pressed into steel mould, and then subjected to chemical preparation It is said to last longer, weigh only one-fourth as much as the common shoe never to split the hoof, and to have nc injurious influence on the foot IL re qulres no calkS; even on asphalt, the horse never slips. It is so elastic that the horses step is lighter and surer.i IL adheres so closely to the foot that neith CT dust nor water can penetrate be tween the shoe and the hoof If all this be true, it must be a wonderful i'm provement on the old iron shoe.

French Lack Of Trees.

Trees here, as usual in France, are scarce, except in the shape of shrub bery. A shade tree almost everywhere out of the cities and gardens is a curio- sIty. It seems that if every tree that could not be turned to profit had been purposely destroyed. These left stand ing are generally trimmed for firewood. The great charm of the landscape at this season is the fresh spring verdure- very grateful to the eye of one who has hibernated three months in Paris. Another is the long sweeping lines of the ground, unbroken by either fences or houses, rising and falling according to the undulations of the surface. My companion informs me as we whirl along through these productive hills that twenty years ago they were a rocky waste-a fact which helps to eX- plain the remarkable prosperity of France of late years.-Paris Corr N. |.

 Col. G. W. Bradley, United States quartermaster has been ordered tC Idaho, and will probably be here again i'll a few days to turn over to his sue .ceSsOr the government property at 1u ma Depot. It is expected that he will be relieved by Major J. H. Lord, now at Tucson. Bradley Is one of those men whose character reflects credit on any profession he may belong to. He has been stationed here a long time and we all know him thoroughly, like him and respect him. It has never been necessary for him 10 affect pru dish airs tO prevent dishonest prOpOsi iiOns being made to him; no judge of human nature would think of doing It

"wbars Fourth July7'r The question

"Wbars Fourth July7'" The question
 came
 That famous day at dawning, While all the bells were ringlngin
 Great Independence morning. Mid roar of guns, and cannon's boom And crackers valiant fight for room D!ng-dong, screech, toot and morning. "Please tell me what is Fourth JuIyHr My dear" l answered. turning To see the wee maid, all unversed
 In patriotic learning: "Our happy land, in times afar, Was ruled by a severe mamma,
 Who, right and justice spurnlng, Determined she would make us do To her command according; But we rebelled, and so it chanced, One Fourthof July morning. Long years ago, this deed was done, By which we Independence won, The laws Of Mamma England scorning !" You understand" She paused bit, Mischievous dimples playing About her lips; then, sudden, I Triumphant heard her saying: |" Now I think, sometimes, all mammas, And, very Oren, too, papas,
 Act bad bout our obeyin'; Like yours, they want to make us do To their commands Is accordin'; Why s'ouldn't we rebel, and have A nice Fourth July mornin'?" But that was not good mamma Who ruled us in the times afar!" My explanation seeming, Triumphant spoke this cunning maid: "Pd like 10 ask that mother If she thought you was right; guess She'd say, like any other, That she knew how 10 make good laws, And you was naughty children, cause You dldn': mind your mother!"

Quaekery in the Professions.

The novel spectacle was presented in the Marine Court on Thursday last of a plaintiff nonsuited through such gross neglect of his case that the Judge on the bench thought fit to administer to the attorney a severe rebuke for hIs alleged incapacity. There is lesson in this incident. We are altogether too lax in our admissions to the Bar, as well as to other professions. Exam nations are ill some instances cOnsid- cred such mere matters of form, or in others made such farces, that almost any incompetent person may gel through. A great deal of mischief is done through legal quackery. People are led into litigation needlessly ly and hopelessly. or defeated in just suits owing Co the incapacity of the lawyers they consult or employ. We have too many practitioners at the Bar who would not be there if they had to pass a thorough examination before admls- sion. The evil is worse when it af- fleets the medical profession. It is not unusual to see a batch of four or five hundred young practitioners turned out of the New York colleges at one time, and let loose to hang out their signs if they please, and armed with their diplomas, to practice on unfor- tunate humanity. It IS bad enough to lose a law suit through the incapacity of a legal quack; It is much worse to lose life or health through the ignor- ance of a medical quack.-New York Herald.

THE Iowa Republican State Conven- ton met at Des Moines on the 27th of June and nominated John II. Gear for Governor, Frank T. Campbell for Lieut-GOvernor; Chief Justice Day for Supreme Justice, and Professor Von Corlien for Superintendent of Schools. Among the resolutions was one declar- ing "that the pubic credit should be sacredly maintained and debts paid {; and we therefore favor a speedy re- sumption of the silver dollar, it having been the legal amount of value from the foundation of the Federal GOrvern- ment until 1873. The law under which its coinage was suspended should be repealed at the earliest possible day, and silver made with gold legal ten der for the payment of all debts, both public and private

Working Expenses of the Ctty Gov
 ernmenI of San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-The Bul- letin this afternoon will publish an elaborate article, the result of inquiry into the working expenses of the city government By this appears that the annual expenditure for salaries alone foots up $1,G91, 230, or s per head for each man, woman and child in the city, or about $2S for each taxpayer The article gives many instances in which subordinate officials hold two or more offices, drawing the full pay paid each, and also enlarge on the numberless modes officials, contractors and their friends raid the city treas ury and plunder the people.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-In refer ence to the story in The New York Sun, as to a scheme by the Administra- ton for seiZing the northern states of Mexico, ex-Senator ". M. Stewart, who was mentioned as having had an inter view with Secretary Eyarts on the sub iect, gave, so far as he is concerned, a positive denial to the whole story yes terday to a Post reporter He had not, he said, seen Eyarts. or any one else, for the purpose stated by the Sun, and knew nothing whatever of any inlen- ton on the part of the Government to acquire by seizure or purchase any portion of Mexican territory.

The Silver Question.

The press of the country and all ot nearly all prominent public men are engaged in the discussion of the pub lie policy of making silver legal ten der on a par with gold, as it always had been in the Uniled States prior to 1873. There is no doubt but the ad vOcates of restoring silver to a legal equality with gold, are increasing and it looks much as if they would form a majority in the next Congress. The enterprising reporters have made the President a friend and opponent of silver, but the truth seems to be that he favOrs the legal tender of silver to a limited amount, and so it seems does Secretary Sherman. In gold centers like San Francisco and New York, the opposition to silver is decided, but most of the States and Territories which produce silver are favorable to the le- gal equality of the two metals One good thing about the discussion thus far, it has not been carried on from any partisan standpoint Senator Jones of Nevada is chairman of the silver commission created by tue Senate to inquire into and report upon the ques- tion at issue. Being from the largest silver producing State in the Union, when the exclusive gold advocates get in a close corner oyer his arguments in behalf of silver, they try to cry him down by saying he is simply trying to bolster up hIs silver mines. But be- fore Congress, this species of reply will avail nothing. Following IS q Wash ington dispatch of June g, and per haps correctly reports the Senator, though the gold people will make all possible efforts to defeat him by mis- representation III advance of his re- port going before tEe public; but the public was deceived in the demoneti- zation of silver i'll 1873, and will hard be in the effort now being made to place it on the basis it stood under the Constitution for nearly 100 years. Here is the dispatch referred to:
 Jones' report of the Silver COmmis- sion is expected to be made public in a few days It is an exhaustive argu- ment in favor of the double standard and remOnetiZatIOn of silver. The pO- sition is taken that the contraction of the currency, caused by demOnetiZing silver, has arrested business enterprises and largely contributed to the business depression. To-day Jones expresses the opinion that With silver demOne- tizcd, specie resumption would not be possible. He says that if sherman could possibly resume, it would only be temporary and the result would be great suffering and return finally to issuing paper. The Senator favOrs the passage of a bill to declare old silver dollars a legal tender for all debts, pub lie and private, and directing that upon any person bringing silver plate, bars or bullion to the Mint, 1t shall be the duty of the government 10 coin it, charging only seigniorage as may be necessary to cover expenses. Another provision of the bill would be to pro- vide that upon any person depOsiting in the Mints a silver bar at a given weight and fineness, it shall be the duty of the government to give the party so depOsiting certificate of de posit This corresponds 10 gold notes, the principle being the same.

Army Appropriations.

WASHINGTON. June 2j.-The Opin- ion is expressed in military circles that the regular army appropriation bill will not be passed. Soon after the extra session of Congres convenes, it seems to be the impression, a joint resolution will be passed appTopriating the necessary money to pay the rank and file of the army; but on account of the determined effort to reduce the army, the regular appropriation bill may be put off until the last of the extra session or first of the regular session.

LONDON, June 14.-A Berlin dispatch says the Ecclesiastical Court has sen fenced the Bishop of Limburg to re- moval from office.
 We are sorry for the Bishop, but if he is in any way responsible for the smell of the cheese which comes from his town, he ought to have been removed long ago. We don't know the particu- lars of hls difficulty, but can imagine that he was so fond of Limburger as to carry It into the pulpit with him; or perhaps he wanted a Hamburger cheese put in the corner stone of a new church edifice Tn his diocese; or perhaps he ordered a six weeks fast from every thing but Limbcrger. We really don't know, but have strong suspicious of rottenness somewhere in connection.
