CHAPTER ii.

We'll, Fred, what will you say to
all my sermons on extravaganza, when
/ tell you l have actually taken the
landlsdy's 6rss-foor rooms for a
month; and that without any view
to your advantage, which has bither-
to actuased my movements? You
will say it is only preliminary step
to my employing the artist after all
to take my portrait"
Thus did Mrs. Arlington announce
her plans next morning at breakfast
to Fred, who offered no oremonstrsnce.
1t was enough for him that she chose
to do it; Re was too well satisfied and
accustomed to her guidance and good
sense not to fall in readily with ev-
erything she did as the best possi-
BILE that could be done; and SO be as
sen,ed without g remark.
"You don't scold me, Fred! | ex-
pect your reproacbes; but they will
come later; you are too engrossed at
the present moment with the pros
pect of the examination before you
o-day but have no fear for you;
50 have none for yourself"
What will you do while l am
awayw
Stay where am; study the pict-
ures; read the backs Of all the books
through the glass doors of the book
case: and thinL what churl the
owner is to have locked them up.
And this amusement over, shall 60
in search ofa piano; we cannot live
for q whole month without one, eau
We? So l shall order it to be sent
on Wednesday morning to our new
quarters"
Suppose the '.gentlemsn" unlocks
his, and sets up an opposite tune;
the jumble of melodies will be the re-
verse Of harmonious.
Possibly; bat then, you phlemat-
ic youDgster, you wOuldn't keep me
without such q resource, for fear of
an occasional discord- Let US hope
the gentleman 10 question will give
place to the ladies, and be amiable
enough tc listen without creating Q
discord; or be may decamp altogeth-
er, if be does not approve of our per-
formances."
''But tell me what has put it iaso
your head to stay . whole month in
London? thought you said we bad
only funds for . week.
well, my dear boy, il is just this:
| have been thinking that We may as
well wait and hear the issue of the
examination; "a 10 the event Of your
being among the successful csndi-
dates. Of which | have very little
doub:, you would be ready to go to
Sandhurst without having to incur
the double expense of the journey
home and hack again. Besides, |
should like to see the last Of you be-
fore sink in'o my future oblivion,
with no further call in the world up
on my time and attention beyond
writing TO you"
What nonsense you csa talk,
mother, when you once begin I! sup
pose you expect me to believe you
are one Of the sort that Is allowed TO
90 into oblivion. ! bet yop ten to
one some fellow viii be wanting to
marry you when I am at college -
.B0sh, Fred !" she said, with .
solemnity Of manner che well knew
how to sssome, that eGectusliy
quenched any conversation the sab
ject Of which she did not sppfove.
1T 10 tine you started"
Forgive me; and good bye" be
said, with . smile, ~ he prepared to
60
Wishing him &c ID speed" she
saw him depart. and then rung for
the landlsdy.

California Banks.

These banks generally stand well
 but the recent failures east show thai
 official statements of assets and liabil
 iJies are unreliable The San Francisco
 Bulletin has lately been investigating the California banks and finds ,hat many of them fail to comply with the State Jaws, and others do so as mere matter of form and give unintelligiJle statements, and that paper makes these significant remarks
 + one private bank be exempt. then all private banks are exempt; and if one bank organized under Federal or foreign law be exempt. then all banks so organized are OK empl- IT oHe bank incorporated un- der State law can decline tu make a statement, then all can decline. II one bank can so mix items aS to Tt. quIre an expert tO understand it's con- dltIOu, then all have the same Drivi- lege. It is evident that the law will tANNNt tb lA-tfN otAil- LNA ALAE E4htA tO 4l at the next Legislature. it ought to be the duty Ot some one tI see that the law is faithfully complied with, m spirit as we'll as in letter; and also To coIiate and publish the returns The statements of tAe foreign banks are very unsatisfactory. The returns are all lacking in freshness. and are too general They ought to cover only the operations of the local branch To make them of value as showing the part they play in State finances.
 While all thIs Is true, the Bulletin does not warn the pubic that any of the l0l banks of the State are unuust worthy, but ii does carry the idea .hat the people are entitled to know more about lhe responsibility of banks which receive and handle their money without any security. The l01 banks are distributed among thirty i've of the fifty counties of the Slate. eaving fifteen counties without any organized banks

From Che EnIernr1se. Sept. 1:

From the Enterprise, Sept. 1: We are informed that Captain J. P Hargrave expects to be back in Pres colt by about the first of October.
 James Nee came in from Alexandra yesterday and reports that active prep arations are being made for the build ing of the Peck mill
 The Miller Bros. have fourteen men at work on the road from Gllson's ranch. at Date creek, to Greenwood, and they propose to make 1t good road, avail able for teams of all description.
 Mr. Ladd, of the Little Colorado, says that the Mormons, at their settlement there, have ditch eigA; miles long which supplies them wItlf 'dil the water they are liable to need.
 In the District Court today, sitting as d Court of Bankruptcy, Morris Gold water was appointed assignee of the es- tate of H. V. Cram. Geo. \. Strick- land, of Williamson Valley, on his own petition, adiudged bankrupt by the District Court, yesterday.
 On "Wednesday night the jury in the case of the Territory against William Partridge after about four hours delIb- eratiOn found the prisoner guilty of murder in the second degree. Those who heard all the evidence seem to think that Partridge was very lucky to get off SD lightly, as the proof showed the murder 10 be most diaboliCal in its nature. Benj. Morgan, who conducted the defense, and Hugh Farley, who as sisted the District Attorney in the pros ecution, both made able arguments.
 From the Enterprise of 9th.
 Judge Tweed sentenced William Par fridge, this afternoon, to imprisonment for life.
 The contract for boarding, lodging, nursing, hospital accommodation and attendance, except medical attendance, for the indigent sick of the county, was let to Daniel Hatz for twenty four dol lars per week per head.
 Water was never so scarce in Yava- pal county as it is at the present time All over the western part of the county the sign mo water for horses " is seen on wells. It threatened rain day or two ago. It was false alarm.
 Milton A. Vance, convicted of rob ping the United States mail and putting the life of the carrier thereof in jeO pardy by the use of deadly weapons, was this morning sentenced by Judge Tweed to imprisonment for life, at hard labor.
 Much has been accomplished in the way of punishment of criminals by the present term of the District Court There have been four convictions for murder, three in the first and one in the second degree; two for stage rob- bery and several for minor offcnses.

The Blooms Of Mars.

Professor Newcomb, in letter to the New York Tribune, says that the reason why the moons of Mars were not discovered before i, that the plan ct was neyer 50 favOrabiy situated, at least since telescopes had reached their present perfection. He makes the fol- lowing remarks respecting the newly discovered bodies. "Of the two satel- litcs now discovered, the most eXtra0r- dinary feature is the proximity Of the inner one Co the planet aud the rapid fly ot i;s revolution. The shortest pe- riOd hitherto known is that of the in- ner satellite of Saturu-221s hours
 But the inner satellite of Mars goes round in hours and $ minutes Its distance from the centre of the planet IS about G,0O0 miles and from the sur face less than 1000 If there are any astronomers on Mars with telescopes and eyes like ours, they can readily find out whether this satellite is inhdb- iled the distance being less than one siNtielh that of the moon from us. These satellites may also be put down as by far the smallest heavenly bodies yet known It's hardly possible to' make anything like a numerical est mate of their dimnejers, because they are seen m the telescope only as faint points of light But one might safely agree Co ride round one of tn m in a railroad car between two successive meals, or to walk round in easy stages during a very brief vacation. In fdCt, suppOsing the surface of the outer one 10 have the same ttlectiug power with that of Mars, its diameter cannot be much more than ten miles, and may bel less. Altogether, these objects must be regarded as among the most re markable of the solar system.

seienee onth aciac Const.

Sir Joseph He of the Royal So- cicty of London, is on the Pacific Coast, He Was accorded @ generous welcome by the California Academy Of Sciences, and in some remarks on the occasion, said: You may travel from England to SpaIn, from Siam to China, without finding so diverse veg citations as by crossing the Mississippi and comparing the banks one hundred miles east on one side with one hun drcd miles west on the other. He said that the GesJinies of science on this coast are great and tune will come that will show great results, and that will come with immense force
 and for these two reasons. There Is here a most intelligent and @ most aC- tive and progressive population, and. in the second place, there k here oue of the most remarkable assemblages Ol natural objects and physical phenum- ena that any part of the world pos sesSes. In speaking thus, he included the whole coast north, and south, of California. There is no section of the earth in which SO many singular phe- nOmend can be observed as in this.

Value of the Eucalyptus.

We have frequently called attention 10 the proven value of the Eucalyptus tree as an anGdote for certain levers. IL appears that reports have been re- ceiyed from fifty localities in Algiers, where the number of blue gum trees is nearly one million, and from these re- ports the following conclusions have been drawn It is incontestably proved that the eucalyptus possesses sanitary influence; for wherever it has been cultivated, intermittent fever has con- sidcrably decreased both in intensity and frequency; and that marshy and uncultivatcd lands have thus been ren- dered healthy and quite transformed Similar results have thus been obtained ID Corsica, where it Is computed that at the end of the present year there will be upwards of GOO,OOO plants of eucalyptus in full growth. These trees are of rapid growth, and should be planted in the Gila and Salt river val leys, and we have no doubt but right ly managed they would flourish along the Santa Cruz. These trees are use ful for timber al an early age, and the more trees the more rain. In every point of view, trees should be cultiva- ted, and the more useful ones Of rapid growth should be preferred in plant ing.

Senator Booth on Labor and Capi-
 EpI

Extract from the Senator's speech iI
 Sacramento, August 9: Carlyle ha.
 said, and it is not more true than it i,
 sad, that the saddest sight on earth i,
 that of man who is willing to work
 for bread and who cannot get the op portunity. And it is terrible com
 mentary on the christian civilization oi the nineteenth century that in the growth of society thls very sad thing does sometimes occur. Any one who has been looking at the course of hu- man affairs and industrial pursuits even for the last few years, cannot fail to see that there has been a gradual change in the relations of employers and employed. A good deal has been sad and a good deal foolishly, l be- lieve, about the antagonistic or uu. friendly relations between capita, and labor. Now, capital as capital does not think Labor as labor does not think. Some capitalists are wise and some are foolish. Some are liberal and some are mean. Some invest their capital in bonds and some in indus'ri- al enterprises. Some laborers are skill ful, others are unSkilltul; some are prOvident others are improvident; {; some are industrious others are lazy But when a man has labor {, sell he goes to some one who wants to buy la- bOr, and then they are in the position of making a bargain, ana the labOrer wants tO get the most he can for his la- bor and the man who employs him as a general proposition wants to buy his labor at the lowest prIce. But its just so with the laJOrer when he goes to buy anything. Perhaps he does not. buy labor directly, but he buys the commodities that are produced by labor everything that he wears, everything that he eats, the house that he sleeps under, are all the produce of labor. and in buying them he buys labor only one degree removed, and he buys it. just as cheap as he can, SD that really labor patronizes labor, just as much and a little more than capital does. be- cause there are more labOring men than capitalists. And that rule runs through all the transactions of life. that the seller tries to get the best price he can and the buyer 10 pay the least he can.

Death Of fEx-President Thiers.

PARIS, September 4-Thiers arose early on Monday and worked until : ;- 30. when he went for an hours walk on the terrace He afterwards wrote until noon, when he took luncheon, with an appetite, but toward the end of the re- past he stammered out 2 few words, hIs mouth contracted, his eyes became covered with film, and he was carried to his bed. His physicians ordered mustard plasters and leeches. He did not appear entirely aware of his dan ger. ProstratiOn was complete after twenty minutes had elapsed.
 To-day a number of well-known pol iticians went 10 St. Germaine to con dole with Madame Thiers, and tele- grams of condolence were received from all parts
 President MacMahon, who is at Mount BrIson, upon being informed of the death of Thiers, immediately tele- graphed to Paris to summon the Coun- ell to arrange for solemnizing the fu- neral with the greatest pomp. Mac Mahon thinks that in the presence of such loss to the country, all divisions should for the time disappear, in order by a great national demonstration to- pay honor to one who has rendered such great services to France. MacMa- hon has sent a telegram of condolence Go Madame ThierS, and the official jour nal will tomorrow publish decree an- that the expenses of the fu- neral will be borne by the State. It is believed that the corpse will be inter- red in the Invaildes. The whole Re publican press expresses profound and sincere sorrow.
 Private telegrams from the Provinces show that Thiers' death is regarded throughout the country as a national calamity.
 Most of the evening papers appear with black borders, and even the jour nals opposed to Thiers generally render homage 10 the illustrious patriot, al- though they mingle with their praises a disapproval of his most recently cX- pressed opinions.

 Progress.

RAMBoZ CAMP, GLOBE DISTRICT. FINAL COUNTY, ARIZONA, September 3.
 ED. CITIZEN: The great problem that has been agltating the public mind here, and which was of such vital importance to Eastern and South ern Arizona, is at last satisfactorily setlled-the change of agents at San Carlos Fears were entertained that the change would cause trouble and dissatisfaction among the Indians, but 1 am satisfied there will be none, from personal observation, being present on Friday last at the first great confab and count 1 was astoHIshed to see the peace and harmony among them. The great chiefs greeted their new agent with open arms and told their follow CTS thal this was their new father, and that they must love and obey him From the general appearance of Mr. Hart, l think he will deal justly with the interests of ihe Indians and Gov er-ment. He certainly enters upon The duties with a will and determiua- ticn that ought tO insure success. He had not been al ihe agency but few hours, when some teams came m with supplies for the Indians. when he took off hIs coat and began to receive and receipt for the goods. l believe him an unassuming and honorable gentle man. ] feel justified in saying that he will do all in his power 10 preserve peace and order on the reservation. Last week another band of the rene gade Cachise Indians lNolgee and thirteen others) came in and gave themselves up. There now only re- mains out Pionsenay and two or three others, and when they are caught or. killed, it will wind up one of the worst. bands of Indians in existence.
 Times here are improving slowly for the last month. Some fine develop. ments have been made in different. mines
 McMillan & Harris have sold the Stonewall Jackson mine for Sl2O,O0O. to lIr Martin of Santa Rosa, Cal, and from reports the mine is dirt cheap. there being more money in sight than was paid for the mine. The first ex- tension north is bonded for $lO.OOO. ! and l consider il wurfh as much as the Stonewall Several other parties are sales, of which I have no. positive reports. 1Ir T. D. Wilson ar. rived here from San Francisco, a few days ago, on business connected with the Duryea mill and mining company and his own interests. New machin- ! cry continues to arrive. The Duryca mlll will soon be in operation The machinery-eXcept the boiler which is between here and San Carlos-is all on the way from Yuma It is 10-stampl mil, and will be greatly to the advan- tage of the District. The outlook is 
 Good health prevails here The weather has been very dry, and the grass parched. It has seemed as if. the Almighty was preparing for the final contiagraiion, but as I write splendid shower is falling, which will be apt to start ihe grass, and give plenty of water for mining purposes.

The Hard Struggle.

I've looked on poverty undismayed,
 His cold breath on my cheek, I've seen him crouching at my bed,
 When winds blew shrill and bleak. Pve watched h m crawling 10 my board To snatch my Scaniy food, But never suffered him-no, not once To scare me where stood. I've fought hIm upright like a man
 That only feared disgrace; And Int him hard, and laid him low, And scorned him to his facel I've struggled-sure of victory,
 Determined, come what might, it should be a lifelong struggle
 For victory and right.

The Tool Com pany was three years in preparing to begin the work upon the contract, and now employ 2,500 men, who turn out 100000 guns per year or 600 finished guns in day. These guns are the Martini Henry rifles. The Excelsior Box Company is now busy making 2O0O0 boxes per year for the Tool Com pany, in which to ship their guns to Turkey.
