The completion of the Southern Pacific railroad to the border of Arizona has served to call the attention of Eastern journals tO the mineral resources of that Territory It is not quite true, as stated in the Graphic, that Arizona has been practically closed to the hardest of prospectors and mining ad- venturers by numerous warlike Indians. who butchered all the whites who attempted to enter or traversed their domain as whites have lived in large numbers in that Terriotry for years; but is enough that the T rrit0ry IS now open to Settlers who are not more hardy or yenturesOme than Americans will average. Of the mineral wealth of the Ter ritory there IS no question whatever; but what rank that will bear to the great Com stock lode in Nevada, no one can vet form an accurate opinion. The Graphic mentions the formation of a company to operate in Southern Arizona, which includes among its incOrpOrators such men as ex-Goyernor ThOs. A. Hendricks of Indiana, eX-Govcrnor Con- rad Baker of the same State, Hon. John C. New, late Treasurcrof the United States. and others of prominent local reputation. The shares of the company are not on the market. but are held in a lcH hands for private invest ment. There are several Arizona mines listed on the San Francisco Stock Boards, some of which are rapidly coming into prOminence.-I Ogden Freeman.

Probably before the next number of tho Journal is issued, the Arctic expedition commanded by Lieut. F. Schwatka, of the Sd Calvary, will have started from New York Harbor in the schooner Eothen, on its adventurous quest in search of the relics of Sir John Franklin. Some years since, Capt. Barry, who now commands the EO- then, procured from one of the Natchillis Esquimaux five silver spoons engraved with the Franklin crest, and gave them ts his employers, Morrison and Brown, of New York, who sent them to Lady Franklin On subsequent voyage the Natchiilis gave him two more, and said that they came from cairn in their country, 700 miles away from Whale Point, adding that there were als0,boOks there, like the one he was writ ing in. On these facts tEs present expedi- ton was started by private subscription, under the patronage of the American Geo grapoical Society; and Lieutenant Schwatka, who had applied to command it instantly on hearing the project, received the ap- pointment. and was granted an indefinite leave of absence for that purpose
 Wo ardently hope that Lieut.. Schwatka will be successful in his quest He takes with him only small search party. mainly consisting of Esquimaux, including "ESqui- maux Joe" The Eothen has provisions for IS months, at the end of which time she may be here again for reftting and re- provisioning, to continue her Arctic re- searches. With a Navy officer in command of the Jeanette, and an Army officer in com mand of the Franklin search party, the two services will be unusually interested in the Polar researches of the future Army and Navy Journal.

operation in the iron manufacture has been tried with success among the workingmen at Pittsburg. A number of iron mills have been erected west of Pittsburg by skilled ~orkmen out of their own funds Every such mill has been successful, with the ex- ception of one, which did not have a proper head in the management of its finances. These cooperative laborers understand every detail of their business better than their former employers, who are feeling their competition seriously. The wOrkingmen have another advantage in their lighter liv- ing expenses, which enables them to sell on closer margins than the regular manufact- ureTs.

The Bannock war in Idaho seems to be assuming alarming proportions. The gov ernors of the Territories seem to be doing all Tn their power to help the settlers, and Gen. Howard, with handful of men, is in the neiglborhood of Boise City. but it looks now as if it would take several weeks and may be months before the rebellion will be quelled. The cause of the outbreak is said to be the failure of the government 10 fur nish the Indians with supplies according to agreement, and is another illustration of our wise den, cratic economy.

AriZona's New Governor.

The ArizonanS are not at all pleased at the transfer of Governor Hoyt to Idaho, in orler that his place may be filled by Gen. eral Fremont. They have nothing against the latter, of whom the local Press speaks in high praise. but Governor Hoyt has made himself so popular in Arizona that the people dislike to lose him. The Prescott Miner says Governor Hoyt could do much better by the practice of his profession in that city than by change of residence, and infimates that there is doubt in his mind as 10 whether he would consent to the trans fer or not San Francisco Call, June 23d.

TELEGRAPHIC.

Chicago, June 2S.-Tha Journals Wash ington correspondent says the Potter Com
 mittee, at the instance of Butler, has entered
 upon side investigation to ascertain with
 regard to Packard or Nichols being legally elected Governor of Louisiana
 To-day the fact came out that in an Execu- tive session the other day, Butler said he
 would be able to prove that the electoral vote of Louisiana was given Hayes in pur- suance 10 agreement whereby the State Gov ernment should be given to Nichols, al- though Packard was legally elected, and that he would establish a corrupt bargain; | whereupOn the Democratic members voted to go into the side investigation; and at an examination to-day Butler laid the foundation for proving the alleged bargain. Although he believed that Hays was entitled to the vote of Louisiana and every other Southern State if a fair election could be held. A tele- graphic summons is to be sent Packard, whom Butler thinks will throw light on the transaction. It was fact that the Return ing Board was kept at work only by promis- es that they should not be harmed, and would be taken care of.

The Late Apple Crop.

The Practical Farmer prints some
suggestions about picking late apples,
which may be read with interest and
profit by many of our readers:
Hand picking should always be,re'
sorted to, especially with winter APP
pies, else the fruit will not keep loEg
or present a saIable appearance when
laid down in the market for sale. Some
few varieties ripen irregularly, and
should be gathered accordingly. In
most cases the later varieties of apples
should be left until late, so as to fully
color up, when they should be careful.
ly hand picked, only the sound, un.
Ispeeked ones being taken. A bag,
with TIVE ofthe extreme corners drawn
nearly together, AMI slung over the
right shoulder and hanging under III &,
left arm is the most con venient thing
to pick in, as it is readily used either
on the tree or when the picker stands
on ladder. When the bag Is full the
apples are carefully emptied into bask.
cts conveniently near, and the bag
filled again. When the fruit l., licked,
convey 1t to the fruit room, which
should be cool, dry and dark place,
where it should remain till the time
arrives for packing. While picking,
keep the apples!in the shade after they
are removed to the fruit room. While
some persons, new to the business, do
not think 1t makes much difference if
the fruit is little mixed, we have al

.Daniel webster Drops a Line

Webster's refuge from care was fish
ing. Trout and blue fish acknowledg.
ed his genius rs we'll as courts and sem
ators. They flocked to his hook. In
bait and debate he was equally per-
suasive. Hauling fish through the
surf when they. pulled like horses, he
would say to his com npanions: 'This is
better than wasting time in the SEN
ate, gentlemen!'
1t WAS while fishing for trout that he
composed a celebrated sentence in his
first Bunker SHill address. He Would
pull out lusty specimen, shouting,
''You have come down to us from d
former generation. Heaven has boun-
teously heightened out your lives that
you might behold this joyovs day"
He would unhoOk them into his bask-
ret, declaiming, ''Y Y GU are now gathered
to your fathers." In his boat one day
Gust before he delivered his address on
Lafayette) he hooked very large cod
and as he pulled his nose above water,
he exclaimed. "Weicome! all hail! ana
thrice welcome citizen of two hemis-
pheresl"
Everett describes an evening spent
with Webster. He found him enrire-
ly at ease, sportive AMI full of anec-
.dote5. He was as unconcerned and ,as
free of spirit, as when floating in his
fishing boat along the hazy shore, gen.
tly rocking on the tranquil tide, drop.

RObinsou CrusOe,s IsIaud.

From a highly interesting private
letter, dated April 90, we gather some
particulars in regard 10 the Island of
Juan Fernandez, the scene of De Foes
famous ramance. The letter in gues-
tion was written blythe Captains wife
on board an American whaler, which
calledat the island for supply of
wood aud fresh provisions. The wri-
ter says: Bs..-
Finding, to our delight, very clear
and beautiful morning, we were ready
for the boat to take us on shore by eight
O'Clock. We found a nice landing
place, with few houses close by the
shore. The gentleman who leases the
island from the Chilian Government
AIf de Rode, an enterprising Swiss
met US on the mole, and very cordially
invited us to his house and gave us
some fresh milk and bread, as the
morning air had sharpened our appe-
tites. He then said he would go with
US to see the cave where Alexander
Selkirk (the original of Robinson Cru
SOY lived so long. When we arrived
there bountiful lunch was set before
US, composed of various viands, wines,
fruits, &C., while there was nice, cool
water close by, makingi it altogether
lovely. tns e. ~ - - ss
: After an hour or 80 spent in examin-
ing the far-famed locality, we took
our leave, well pleased with our visit.
Mr.. De Rode has leased the antire ISL
and for period of eight years, and is
stocking 1t with cattle, with which to
supply passing vessels or to ship to the
mainland. Fine feed abounds, and
there is an ample supply of fresh wa
ter. Wild goats are abundant, and
many are consumed by the natives for
food. the skins being handed over to
the proprietor. There are also a great
number of fine fish in the surrounding
waters. The highest part of the island
is about 5000 feet high. The scenery
is varied and exceedingly beautiful.
The climate is tropical, and life in such
aplace, although OF necessity very iso J
lated, muststili possess all the roinan-
tic charm which forever invests the
far off summer isles of the Pacific
ocean,
