the head, but luckily glanced off,
struck by NJ. Merelli's arm. The
victim staggered, but plucked up
sufficient strength to retire into an
adjacent room and lock the door.
All parties appear to be thus salts
fed; and we are likely to hear no
more Of a matter which has caused
more amusement than annoyance
in Viennese musical circles. The
officer, having hit his man, feels his
honor satisfied and that of his sister
avenged; while NJ. Merelli, whose
wound is very slight, is not'at all
likely to stir up muddy water by
bringing the case before the courts.
Apropos Of Madame Patti, a ru-
NOR is current that the Marquis de
Caux has accepted an offer Of 30,-
600 francs or $4,000 a year out of
PATHS property, the rest to belong
to la diva absolutely. This is ab-
surd, as | have reason to know the
Marquis has already had an offer of
$4,000 francs or $4,000 year in
lieu of his share of the money, and
that he declined the offer preierring
to leave the whole matter to the
court; and the affair has not yet
again come ON before the Paris
courts. BY the way, there is a good
deal Of chaff current in Paris at
Madame PATHS expense, because la
diva appeared before the civil tribu-
nal in dress of deep black. She
was either in mourning for her hus-
bands Or her own peccadilloes, or
for the prospective loss of her for
tune, or she wished to denote that
she was already in a state of widow
hood. In the latter case, it is sug.
gested she should also have worn
the white Grape cap, or "widow's
weeds" as it is usually called.

No one, however, who has not
experienced it can realize what it is
to be off the New Jersey shore
making for New York harbor in a
snow-storm. If the snow is thick
not light can be seen, and chart
and compass and lead are all which
can be depended on. Iwell remem-
Der one such occasion, when in
spite Of the peril which few of us
probably comprehended, party
were gathered in the captains
room, playing euchre. He sat at
another table busily studying his
chart, going ont every little while
to look with anxious, peering eyes
through the storm, in vain search
for lights which were not visible.
Another captain, who was a pass
enger on board, opined that we
had gone by Sandy Hook, but our
experienced commander was not at
fault. At last the order was given
to drop anchor. Just then a
short, chopping sea struck us,
and nearly every one started to
his feet. The captain, who was
a passenger, had been playing
cards with an exceedingly cool and
rather fascinating widow, and with
spirit of mischief he exclaimed,
"There, we've struckp "Well," ,"
said the lady as sshe coolly continued
dealing the cards, "that is Captain
IS business, not mine" The
perfect composure of her manner
seemed to absolutely paralyze and
then electrify the bachelor mariner,
and it ended in her playing the
winning card, so that when next
they crossed the ocean, he COM
manded the ship and she CON-
manded him. For the rest of us,
who either had no trick to make or
were greater towards, we were
glad to know that it wasn't rock
we had struck, and to find ourselves
in the morning inside the bar, and
anchored just little outside Of the
ship channel.

Paris Gossip.

0peratic circles were startled last
week to hear that NJ. Merelli, the
well-known impressario of the I'm
perial italian Opera, of st. Petors-
burg, and who has taken Madame
Patti and the chief artists of the
Russian season to Vienna, had been
killed by a woman. AS usual, the
rumor had gained in transmission.
1t is true that an attempt had
been made to murder M. Merelli at
Vienna, but the attempt failed. II
appears that NJ. Merelli had had in
his family, for the last six years,
a governess, and with her, it is al.

RICH ground is fonnd on the bed rock all along the bank of the Gila, where it cuts through the old placer diggings near Gila City. Right at the stage station, MT. A. Lahge got S9 from the bottom of his wei and Mrs. Lange has ring made of it. The water came in so fast that it did not pay to work the ground TOT gold by bailing out the water with a windlass. Wi;h a steam pump to drain the ground, immense amouiits of gold could be obtained. Sev- eral attempts have been made to work the gravel next the bed rock under the flats Four and five dollars to the bucket have been hoisted from number of prospect shafts, but the flow of water has been too copious for mere hand labor. The day is
 ow approaching when steam pumps and
 ,odern appliances will resurrect this gold,
 tried for centuries. Yuma county has
 ready produced immense quantities of the
 stal, but the future out turn will make
 .vious production seem insignificant.

FROM Dr. J. D. Wilson we learn that the Champion mill, Globe district,is completed and at work crushing 20 tons per day: The mill is of two stamps, the stems of N hich are pistons entering cylinders. Tie stamps are raised and driven down by direct appli- cation of the steam and can be run at ;l rate of several hundred blows a minute. Dr. Wilson says that this mill, driven at its full capacity, can be made to crush 50 tons day. The average capacity of oi di- nary stamps. raised by cams and dropping by their own weight, is about five tons per day to the stamp. The Consolidated Vir- ginia stamps work about six tons per day each. Dr. Wilson reports great activity in the district and that its rich promises are being realized.

Their wO k was carried forward to point just beyond the Picacho ard within forty miles of Tue son. All hands have now reached Yuma, and most of them gone on to California.

ORDERS have been given 10 prepare q place here to store 50O,0OO railroad ties. It will take at least two miles of track to stow them, corded up on each side. These arc ties enough for over 150 miles ot road Railroad employees tell us that fully 200 miles of steel rails are already landed at San Francisco and around Oakland The railroad company has raised twenty mil lions of dollars on bonds marketed in Germany at four per cent per annum in terest. Michael Reese made the trade for them last spring. Of this money they have ten millions loaned out in California on gilt edged collaterals, at eight per cent per annum, which pays interest on the whole amount They thus have ten mil lions, which costs no interest, to invest in railroad material. The last Arizona legis- lature exempted all their property from taxation for six years. They have d pretty good show for accommodating material here for a spurt across the continent when the time for it comes.

It is said to present the prettiest kind of sight under ground and is turn ing out nice metal. This ledge goes down at d very easy angle, so that man can al- most crawl in and out of the incline with out using the rope. Bcttis takes eight men up to resume work on the Arkansaw next week. He stopped work while he was gone to California Starkweather got very good thing in buying the Pocahontas. He has got down 137 feet on it already and is turning out lots of lead. The ground is very soft and can almost be scooped out with the hand. The metal needs no dress ing but screening. Gunther has been hauling lead all summer, but this week came down here for men and supplies for starting up work on Lis claims.
