PAVING.
! Word TO Young Men.

Some young men, and now and then one
which Is not so young, have q habit of act
ing as though they were supremely unhappy
unless they were in the act of doing some
little nonsensical and silly thing in the
way offumbling people over. Such people
are eternully Strengthening the necktie of
the man with whom they are talking or
iumbling at his watch chain, or picking
speCis OF lint or dust from his coat or
picking 1T a button, or pointing out the
a1SeIice OF button, or sticking his fingers
into rip III ones coat or remarking upon
Ole's beard and showing how il would look
better longer or shorter, or better off entire

and hands are continually attracted to the
negative pole, their vis-a-vis. These same
are innocent enough and they don't mean to
annoy, and possibly they who know thCm
get used 10 II and doa't mind ii much But
1t looks silly. Then these fellows are worse
yet when with ladies They find a breast
pin ont OF plumb, or a hairpin sticking Il
sixteenth OF an inch further out than il
should, or q lock OF hair astray, or watch
slipping out OF a belt, or a gather of the
dress has started the stitching, or the flower
in the kat dTOops a triie, or the shawl pin

ing these matters, and keep fumbiing and

OUR EsTICES."

Bayard, the representative of the
extreme hard money wing, and Dan
Voorhees,, the leader of the soft money
clement, think the financial problem
Will be solved before 1880, and that
no apprehension need be felt lest that
vexatious question split the national
Democracy. We hope the prognosti-
cations of these political ''Tices" may
be realized but one thing the signs of
the times certainly indicate, which is,
that to have available Democratic
unity in 1880 the party Is not to be
led again into a presidential campaign
under the direction and dictation of an
eastern hard money wing, as was the
case in 1876. The sooner our leaders
recognize this phase of public senti-
mcnt, the better for the party. The
South and West were sold at the ST.
Louis convention, and great sagacity
will he required to defeat a repetition
of this same action. The national
Democracy cannot go back on the
stand taken by Democrats in Congress
on the financial question. The East
must submit, or seek other alliances.

H0N. GEO. b. PETERS.

We hear that this gentleman is q
prominent candidate for Attorney
General, to succeed General Luke Z.
Wright, of Memphis, who declines a
reelection. Bolivar feels deep in
tcrcst in the public usefulness Of Mr..
Peters. He formerly lived in Bolivar,
and greatly endeared himself to our
people by his many mental and moral
excellencies. Outside of our apprcci-
alton Of lis high personal worth, we
have watched with the greatest pleas
ure his legislative career, seeing in
his eminent usefulness in that field Of
work sure sign Of still larger success
when wcightier responsibilities should
rest upon his shoulders. He is ready
and fitted to move up higher in the
public service, and we hope the people
of Memphis, who have heretofore IA
vored him, and been by him honored
in return, will see TO ii that this gifted
and worthygentieman be triumphantly
elected to the office he seeks, which,
professionally and otherwise, he is
/ especially prepared 10 ell. 1t is a
pleasing sjyh5 10 see young man

A REACTION in favor of Davis
seems to be taking place in this
County, as in other parts of the
Territory. When his candidacy
was first announced there seemed
to be a general feeling that he
had no chance Of winning the
election; and even men kindly TO
him were disposed to cast their
votes for some one of the other
three candidates. Of late, how
ever, that feeling has been yield
ing to a conviction that his
chances Of success are becoming
very good. Many men who were
about to vote for Campbell, as
against Stevens, are now declar-
ing their intention Of supporting
Davis. 1t begins to look as if
Davis may carry Yuma County
after all. Our last advices from
MOhave County are to the same
effect.

A DISTRESSING accident occurred to Mr..
David Neahr, one of the most prominent
citizens OF Yuma, at his Picacho quartz
mill, last Wednesday afternoon. He was
experimenting the construction of an
chute, for which very heavy cotton
wood timbers were being hauled into plare
on cart drawn by mule. The mule
got frightened, wheeled suddenly around
and ran. The projecting forward end OF
the timber struck Mr.. Ncahr and knocked
him down. One wheel of the heavily
loaded cart passed over his left leg, break
ing it below the knee, and also over his
right thigh, bruising it badly. A messen-
ger was at once dispatched to Yuma. Mr..
Neahr's son James, Mr. Welcome and DR..
DeCorse started up there as soon as pos
sible, but did not reach The mill until the
next morning. Shortly afterward the
steamboat Mohave hove in sight, on her
way up river. On reaching the mill, and
learning the facts, Capt Poole turned his
boat around aud brought Mr.. NealIr down
here, ar living on Thursday aftern Don.
Mr.. Neahr is now fifiy-one years of age
but of excellent constitution He is re-
ceiving the best Of care. and will probably
be around again in few weeks. No man
knows how many friends he has until he
gets hurt. The first news of the accident
were somewhat exaggerated, and shocked
every man in town.

STEVENS friends don't seem to
think that Davis is running in
their candidates interest. Oddly
enough Davis takes a larger per-
centage of votes from Stevens
than from any other candidate.
Campbell has been picking up the
Bourbon and SOre-head vote Of
Pima County, and bids fair to poll
a vote there proportiOnately as
large as is claimed will be given
him by Mohave County. Davis
will take from Stevens many Re-
publican vOtes-how many re-
mains to be seen. Woolsey does
not seem to be mentioned in Pima
any more than he is in Yuma or
M0have. We have no reliable
advices of Davis chances in Mari
copa or Pinal, though current
opinion divides the latter be-
tween Woolsey and Stevens.
Maricopa can elect Davis or Ste
venS; her solid vote would not
elect either of the other two.
Both men have been canvassing
Maricopa, but reports from there
are now conflicting. There is a
solid domestic, or family, element
there, which is likely to be at
tracted toward Davis. It now
seems tolerably certain that Davis
will carry Prescott and all of
Yavapai County, except the east
ern and southeastern parts-Lit-
tie Colorado and Clifton: these
are reported to be for Stevens.
Advices from Mohave indicate
that Davis will not carry all the
precincts, owing to local feeling
on the subject Of removal of
County-seat. Yuma County still
seems to be for Stevens, though
with a growing feeling in favor
of Davis.

1T is strange that when a man RECEIVERS
freedom, after having been kept in penal
servitude as a convict, he rarely tries TO
raise himself to the level of other men
he usually tries TO establish an equality by
dragging others down to his own level.
Such an experiment is now being made
in Yuma. SO far it has not worked as well
as was anticipated; though a cloud has
been raised around a few men, of dirty
dust which temporarily obscures their
true proportions from the eyes of .stran-
il mighty and will prevail"
