Extravagant Living.

There in no denying that = great
deal of the financial troub ble that cul-
inmates in bankruptcy. comes from
extravagant living. Sometimes it is the
man himself that paves the way for the
sheriff, but quite often it is his family.
A case in point as to the latter occurred
not very long ago. A New Yorker
happened to meet, down town. an ac-
quaintance from . neighboring city,
and dropped into conversation with
him. After q few casual remarks the
New Yorker asked about his friends
family. expressing q hope that they
were we'll
"Oh, | suppose they are" said Mr..
j., rather indifferently.
How il thats" asked the New York
er; II hope nothing has happened"
Well. yes, something has happened"
replied Mr.. j. "The fact of the matter
is, l haven't seen my family for six
months. You know l vas doing a
pretty good business in B, and the
folks at home got to living away up.
Nothing would satisfy them but the
best. As long as l could afford it. let
them have money right and left; but,
presently times got hard, business fell
off, and found that / was getting be-
hind. did not want to alarm nv fam
lily, but | hinted that little economy
was desirable. Bnt they paid no at
tcntion The demand for money went
on just the same Then told them
that they must economize; that / was
absolutely unable to support them in
such extravaganza. Ii was no use,
though; if didn't give them cash they
got credit, and the bills came to me |
stood it as long as could. and | then
said. Here, if you won't live on what
can give you out of my business. take
the business ITSELF so I just made over
the whole place to them and lett. They
ran it about six months and then the
sheriff stepped in. and haven't seen
any Of my family since. tried hard
to provide for them, but they would
not let me, and that's the result. l can
scarcely take care of myself now. and it
is oil on account OF the extravaganza at

RECEPTION IN PRESCOTT.

The Fremont Hoyt reception in Prescott last Friday evening was an elegant affair. MT. Benjamin Nor gan made an eloquent speech, wei coming Gov. Fremont and bidding farewell to Gov. Hoyt.
 Gov. Fremont replied briefly, ex- pressing his qualification at the many courtesies extended to him, and espe- cially thanking the citizens for this present reception. He said that the hospitality of Prescott was doublY appreciated, and more keenly felt, on account of the drcary waste of scorch- ed deserts and malapais through which tha traveller passed before reaching Prescott.
 Gov. HOyt, in saying good bye, re- marked that the happieSt moments of his life had been passed there, and that his only regret was in leaving many dear friends, with whom his associations had been the pleasantest, personally and officially.
 The public spirited citizens of Pres colt are entitled to much credit for the manner in which the reception was inaugurated and successfully car ed out. -. e.-fr

Ariyaca District

A correspondent to the Citizen from Arivaca District under date of Oct. 8 gives the following items; The Ari. vaca and Gro Blanco mining districts are daily growing in wealth and inn pOrtance by the development of old claims and the discovery of new ones. It is understood here that Kirkpate . rick and Flood are about to transfer their Gro Blanco mining property tO a San Francisco company, and that said company will push the develop mcnt fthe property to dividend ba- sis. These mines are really worth a million. The pumping out ofthe Ger TO Colorado mine is progressing rap idly. The water is now below the second level. and the first level is in a condition for exploration which will be pushed on at once. If everything is well the new mill of the Arivaca min ing company will soon respond to the requirements of the district. Among the many good developments in the district l must call special attention to the mining property of the ConsOl. idated Arizona Mining Company Their main shaft is down about sixty feet, and the work is continued day and night. The entire bottom of the shaft is in free milling ore that will average over s100 per ton, In my opinion it iS one of the richest claims in southern Arizona.

IT IS at length apparent, says the I1ma ETpositor, that the Southern Pacific railroad company will build their road southeast from Yuma this winter. MT. Crocker, jr., Judge Rob ipson, solicitor for the company, and the superintendent, are in Yuma. and say that large amount of material ties, rails, etc.,--will arrive soon. We are glad of it. If it does kill Yuma, as some think, it will help otherparts of the territory.

BASE BALL.-The showery after
noon interfered with the sport on the
base ball green last Sunday, but the
usual number of players were out,
and they kept the ball going between
whites with their customary spirit.
A scrub match was begun, but rain
prevented its completion.
Wednesday evening an impromptu
game took place. on the square, in
which the successful side scored l3
runs, to 9 for their opponents, in five
innings.
The second game of the champion
ship series between the Burnsides and
Grasshoppers is on the tapis for to-
morrow afternoon. There is promise
of fine weather and close match.
Base ball is being revived in her
vile. Last Saturday a match game
was played in that parish, near the
Ascension line, by the Stonewall club
and a nine composed mostly of New
Orleans players, resulting in an easy
victory for the Stonewalls. We pub
lish the score in detail:

date has been spoken of up to this

date has been spoken of up to this
time.
If we oppose the election of Mr..
Jos. A. Duffel as Collector it will not
be from any ill-will We bear him. He
is one of the most popular young col
ored men in town, well liked by
whites as we'll as blacks, but his
friends will do him no favor by elect
ing him to an Office which is almost
as remarkable for its maximum of in-
tricate work and responsibility as
for its minimum of compensation.
We presume Mr.. Auguste Bercegeay,
the present Collector, will be candi-
date for continuance in the position.
Mr.. David Israel, the outgoing Sec
rotary, will be strong candidate for
Treasurer, and we regard the chances
decidedly favorable to his election,
even if the present incumbent, Mr..
Francis Vicknair, perseveres in the
expressed intention of opposing him.
We think Mr.. Vicknair can afford to
relinquish the least of his four official
positions, and certainly he could give
way to no worthisr aspirant. Besides
being Justice of the Peace, he is Sec
rotary and Treasurer of the parish,
&c obiciO Treasurer of the school fund,
and Town Treasurer. Just imagine
what financial panic would result
should burglars enter his Office and
cart off all the public money at one
fell swOop!
The contest for the Constable's bd-
ton is the warmest of all. At present
the candidates are four in number !:
Messrs. Sam st. Martin, present Con-
stable, j. j. Sullivan, Jr., nominee of
his own convention, Robert Noel and
V. c. Gabrielle. The real fight will
be between Messrs. St. Martin and
Sullivan. Both have filled the posi-
ton and their respective records are
familiar to the people of. Donaldson
vile. Mr.. st. Martin has the cleaner
skirts, but his opponent is an indie
"sAS"o'o boS -totIoi, anu IL VIII not
surprise us greatly to see him come
out first hest on election day, as he
did in 1876. He is maneuvering for
the cOlored vote almost exclusively,
and has numerous "pikers " at work
seconding bis efforts ia that direction.
Little concern is exhibited relative
to the selection of Aldermen. A ma
jority of the present Council will
probably be elected on their record as
faithful and economical Legislators.
Mayer Dnffel is preparing lists of
the qualified voters of the corporation
for use at the several polls on the day
of election, and the Assessor will be-
gin Tomorrow to canvass the town
and secure complete record of the
names and residences of bona fde cit
liens. to the end that a perfectly fair
and honest vote may be had. Per-
sous who have acquired citizenship
since the registration of 1876, will be
allowed to vote upon making oath to
the fact before the commissioners of
their respective wards on the day OF
election.
