An Astonishing Fact.

4 large proportion of the Amercan people are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life actually a burden instead of pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skeptlcism, take the advice of drug gists and your friends, and try one bottle of Greens August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions ot bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfac- tory results in every case. You can buy sample bottle for 10 cents to try. t',ree doses will relieve the worst case. Positively sold by all Druggists on the Western Continent. For sale by J. M. Harkey X Bro.

LETTER FROM wIckENBuRG.

EDITOR MNER:-Some secret hireling, in the service of ring, has published in that scurrilous sheet, the Enterprise, oi July 31st, that Wickenburg was about to be abandoned, and that MT. Peoples was going to Phenix. Such statements are simply the result of an intoxicated brain, backed by the efiiuvium of the mail con- tractors. All the merchants of Wicken- burg are increasing their stocks of goods. buildings are being erected and other i'm provements going ahead; in fact, the burg looks as lively as in '71. All the false. hoods about this town, published in the Enterprise, are promulgated in the inter- est of the contractors on the mall route from Dos Palmaa to Prescott. The object of those plnnderers of the public revenue is simply as follows: By running from Yuma, via the Sink of Date Creek, to Prescott, the distance can be accomplished in less time than the 60 hours allowed from Dos Pal mas to Prescott, consequently they have changed the mail route, and now run by the sink of Date Creek. The next step will be, as shown by the Enterprise, to get up strong petition to the Second Assistant Postmaster General to have the time re- ducnd from 60 to AS hours. By accom- plishing this object they will double their money; and, by so doing, wickenburg. Weaver Antelope Creek, and Pceples' Val ley are left without any mail communica- ton whatever.
 The route from Dos Palmas was let to run by those settlements daily to Prescott. but the contractors, in order to rob the Government, sent two affidsyits to Wash lngton, stating that the town of Wickeu- burg was abandoned, that only one Mexi- can squaw lived in the town. The next step will be to get up another strong pcti- ton for daily mail between wickenburg and Yuma or Phenix, and thus make mother big steal of several thousand dol ars.
 The United States mail contractors at his place boast that the mails are not run in the interest of the public, but in that of he contractors, who pay out annually large sums of money to bribe officials at Wash l ngton, and that Mir. Brady, one of the high postal officers, received several thousand 1 ioliars for ordering the present change rom Wickenburg to the Sink of Date | ,reek.
 The merchants and people of Wicken- 'urg ask you to publish this, and therepv xpose this gigantic fraud.

 The Cincinnati Enquirer says: ssKearney made mistake in leaving California. There are but few Chinese in New York, but any number of police.n
 The Express says, editorially, of his speech yesterday: He was tired, and there was good deal of railway jolt and rattle sld gas in what he saiu. His ideas are crude. He does not grasp the whole situa- ton by any mems. It is labor against cap- it2l, not labor and capital, that he repre- SC its. Kearney is like cask of beer in fermentation. He fro.hs and slops over. He has some elements of oratory, waich make him effective with ignorant people, but will do the workingmen more harm than good.n
 The Times says: Hard words break no bones, and if this is the sort of man who has been turning California upside down we must neeos wonder at the shaky charac- ter of things political in the Golden State.

stock Raisers Meeting.

It is proposed by several gentlemen who ore largely interested in stock raising, to hold a meeting at the School-housc in this Village, on Saturday tho l7th inst, at 2 o'clock p. m. The object of this meeting is, we learn, to organize society for the protection of the interests of stock raisers, the industry seemingly being next in inn portxnce to that of mining. A President and Secretary can be appointed whose bus iness it will be to open books in which can bc kept description of stray animals. Per sons, into whose herd may come horses, cattle or other animals can at all times re- port the same to the Secretary of the Society, and any person who has lost stock can ex- anime the same and perhaps through this channel succeed m finding their. property without the usual expense and trouble. It is to be hoped thst those Interested in this one of the most laudable industries in the Territory, will turn out on the 1zth, and organize the Stock Raisers Protective So- ciety.

Denver, July 29.-During the period of observation thJ moon appeared like huge black ball surrounded by beautiful cir cle of light, and as the sunlight suddenly burst forth again the chickens crowed as though morning had dawned.
 Lake Charles, La, July go At the mo- ment of total obscuration match had to be lighted to note the hour on the clock.
 Rawlings. Wyoming, July 29.-The weather here to-day was fine, the sky clear, and the observation perfect success. Edison's experiments with the tasimetef were quite satisfactory. Dr. Draper, or New York, succeeded in obtaining several photographs of the sun during the eclipse. Professor Watson, of Ann Arbor, and Nor man Lockyer have just returned from Separation, where the total eclipse lasted two minutes and fifteen seconds. Prof Watson discovered an intra-mercurial planet, of the size of four and half magnitude star, about two and half degrees south- west of the sun. MT. Lockyer says the eclipse was totally different, the corona being ten times brighter this time, from the one Tn 1871, showing great variation of the brightness of the corona between the maximum and minimum period of sunspots- He obtained a faint photograph of the con- tinuous spectrum of the sun, and saw no trace of lines or rings through MT. Ruth erfrrd's grading. The structure of the corona was we'll observed by him, but no trace of an exterior ring was seen, and the corona vanished instantly, while in 1871 it visible for several minutes after iotality. Only one faint protuberance was by Mr. Lockyer. He is greatly at the difference of the eclipses occurring in different srnspot periods, and 1t the intimate relation of the brightness of he corona to tue sunspots.

The accused were held over to ap- pear before the grand jury with bail fixed ct @ ,000 each. There were no witnesses for the defense, and certain dispositions takea in Prescott and offered by counsel for the accused were ruled out on the ground that Murat Masterson, whose name was eigned to the stipulaiions as assistant U. s. district attorney had had DO authority to act as such.

poIp STAGE ROBBERY.

711e stage which left Tucson on the last day of July. with the driver and three pas sengers, when at point about 20 miles north of that place was stopped by ''soli- tary highwayman, who succeeded in taking in all hands. gaining as his booty s37. the amount the three capitalists hap
 pened to have on their person at the tune. The following description of this bold .Knieht of the Road. we copy from the Florence Citizen. which is probably cer- rect. the editor of that paper having had a,favorable opportunity for knowing, being a passenger on the coach at the time of the robbery, and compelled by the sinner to look down the chamber of his Spencer car bine and disgorge the three last silver dol lars he happened to possess, at the time:
 ssSo near as we remember the man who robbed the stage on Wednesday afternoon, was about six feet high and we'll built. He had his pants tucked in his boots and wore small brass spurs such as are used by the army. His face was covered with muslin mask having opening for his eyes only. His weapons were Spencer carbine and Colts army size six-shooter When making the attack he held his gun to his shoulder all the time and his pistol rested in the finger of the left hand pressed close to the gun barrel and parallel with it which gave it the appearance of being fastened to the carbine. Our readers will remember the one man whs robbed the stage east of Silver City. N. M., about three months ago, Colonel Willard and Lieut.. West were on the coach. This robbery was committed In the night ard the report stated that the robbcr "had a pistol strapped to his gun" This leads us to believe the two robberies were com mitted by the same man"
