ical purposes is to be prohibited.

RExARKABLE SUICIDE.

In the annals of suicide, few cases
ara more remarkable than one that
occurred few days ago at Peavine,
where . miner named Cameron de-
.iberately blew himself up with
dynamite. Il seems that the I'M
fortunate man, who was about fifty
wears of age, was much distressed
at some remarks made about him
by his nsighbors. One afternoon,
q short time since, he was seen
coming out of his house with a
parcel in his hand, described as
being about the size of loaf of
bread, and to which was attached
two short pieces of fuse. This
parcel contained dynamite. Hav-
ing procured q match from the
cabin of neighbor, to whom he
remarked that "they had said a
great deal of him lately, but he
would put it past them now
Cameron went into the road, and,
putting the parcel on the ground,
leaned over it. He then lighted
che fuse with q match. At this
moment some boys, attracted by
his unusual attitude, came toward
him. Keep back" shouted Came
ron, flor the love of God, or you
will BIZ blown into eternity !" Thus
admonished, the boys did keep
back, and it was we'll for them they
did so, for q moment later there was
loud explosion which startled the
whole neighborhood, and Cameron
vas blown to atoms. On the spot
where the dynamite had been laid,
there was left hole about three
feet vide by three feet deep.

GIL MATTERS s

MR. THOMAS HUGHES, Of Critteuden
 Ranch, came into town this week, and re- turned to his ranch taking hls family with him. While the Indians were around .Crittenden lately he had to send his fam
 fly 10 Tucson for safety, but will risk it again. People read in early American
 history about the bravery and dangers Of the frontlersman as he stood between his loved ones and savage foe and won his
 bread with his rifle fastened to his saddle or blow; and the morbid youthful imagi- nation, fed by the dime novel and the inn .aglnative Cooper, dwells with rapt interest and delight over tales of savage foray and IeXploit. But truth is stranger than fiction, and real experience robs life on the savage frontier Of it's glamour, and Of everything else but terrible reality. It is bitter, burn- ing disgrace and shame that in this high noon Of civilization and settlement, the Ifrontiersmen close 10 large settlements Is as little protected from savage encroach-
 ment as were the frontier settlers of d
 hundred years ago. The only difference Is that now the settler has a paid protector,
 bedizened and bedecked with gilt and glitter and insolence, who leaves his charge unprotected, and lies about and in- suits him for not enduring murder and robbery in silence.

AtTubGc they already have Q school and propose to teach all who come, to at least read and write. They report considerable interest among the people in the meetings and they have al- ready baptized some converts. There ls an evident movement os MOrmons to Ari- zona and Sonora, and whatever may be the opinion concerning some Of their doc trlnes, they are industrious. aud, as tillers Of the soil they are unsurpassed. h last Sunday evenings services here, they preached polygamy. and got the matter somewhat in this shape: There are more women than men; this dlsproportion, and monogomy, among gentiles, results in prostitution; under polygamy all difficulty is obvlsted.

MR. HILTON. near Crittendeu, is now shearlng his band Of about 3,S0O sheep. They are perfectly healthy and in fine condition. He says it Is all mistake about this being only a good section for cattle and not for sheep. Mfr. Hilton is q large owner Of, and has had years ex- perienee in raising sheep in California and elsewhere, and says southern Arizona k one of the finest sheep countries he ever saw. He advises his friends 10 bring their sheep here and will himself largely in- crease his band. There is no doubt that there has been bad luck in introducing sheep here, and adverse reports have gone abroad. but Mir. Hilton says it is all the fault or lack Of care, or the improper treatment Of disease. Ho treats the "scab'' with solution of corrosive snbliraate and tobacco, and otherwise exercises the or dinary care Of good sheep management, and his sheep are free from scab and are doing excellently. There is no trouble with the grass. The trouble is bad man. agement.
