Naval Academy Graduates.

ANNAPOLIS, June 20.-This is graduating
day at the naval academy, and the grounds
are filled with people. Dean Woodward, of
Washington university, st. Louis, and men,
Der Of the board of visitors, delivered the adj
dress to the graduates in the chapel, and
Admiral Porter on the campus presented
the diplomas. When the exercises were con-
cluded the cadets cheered the graduates, and
both cheering the admiral and officers. Dur
ing the ceremonies the quarters of Cadets
Craven and Bull were relieved of considera-
bic sums of money.

The Mormons have not ceased to preach q
propaganda in Europe. and the editor of the
Wurtemberg Staatsanzieger prints a portion
of statement of their principles which he
has received from Berne, Sin the name OF the
missionaries of the Swiss, German and Ital-
ian mission of the church of Jesus Christ of
latter day saints" In German the saints
call themselves "Die kirche der Heiligen der
letzten Tage." The document published by
the StaatsaDzieger has a true Mormon twang
and shows that since it is Inevitable that the
world must be converted TO the new faith
the sooner it makes up its mind to accept it
the less time will be lost.

Pliny and Paladius Rutilius, in their
writings, describe reaping machines to have
been used by the Gsuls. 1t has been thought
by some that the Pharaohs of Egypt were
acquainted with the application OF steam as
q motor to machinery, and that they even
had their steam carriages; but Of this there
is no sufficient proof But that the reaping
machine, in some form or other, was used
as early as Christianity there can be little
doubt The identity of the machines de-
scribed by the two writers is manifest. 1t
appears that In the lapse of over fourteen
hundred years only some slight modifica-
ton on the original has been effected,

An Orphaned County.

Yuma county is now fatherless.
We have no Board Of Supervisors
and no citizens that care to submit
to the snubbing and dragoOning
that have driven one member af-
ter another out of the Board.
Samter resigned; then Fitzgerald;
Lorette was appointed, and he
too resigned but was persuaded to
stay; Lyons was appointed and he
too resigned; last Of all Grow has
resigned. Lorette is now alone;
be cannot hold a meeting all by
himself, and he is only a stepfath-
er to the county anyhow.
II is a queer commentary on
American institutions, that Amer
ican citizens can be driven from a
Board of Supervisors by the ar
rogant presumption and brutal in
science of a hannel-lhouthed alien
like our District Attorney, James
Reilly an ignorant, ramping,
braying ass. Not a day passes
that his voice is not heard upon
cur streets in angry vituperation
and insult. But, does he ever come
to blows? Not much. He picks
his men, and if by chance he
picks up wrong one, he apollo
gizes. There is no real danger i'll
him, and no reason why citizens
should fear to hold positions that
bring them into official contact
with him. Some one must become
a supervisor.

Three years ago, February G.,
1873, the Supreme Court of Ari-
zona adopted thirty-two Rules,
which were printed and published
with the Acts of the Territorial
Legislature of that year. Num-
Der 9 Of these Rules, provides that
when the certified transcript of a
case appealed to the court shall
have been written or printed by
"the party, he shall, at or before
"the time of filing the same, serve
ga copy thereof on the attorney
"of the adverse party"
Heretofore a practice has obtain
ed, among parties losing suits in
the lower courts, of fling notice
of appeal to the Supreme Court.
This is usually done before the
passing off of anger engendered tS
defeat, or to save a point; but not
oiie appeal in ten has been per-
fected, and respondents, relying
on Rule 8 of the Supreme Court,
have usually paid no attention to
such notices until served with
copy Of the transcript. Under
these circumstances, business be-
fore the Court has been too light
to suit Prescott lawyers: too few
cases came upon the calendar, or
too many were stricken from it
for not conforming to rules.
Last winter they evidently in
fiated the Court with q conscious
ness of superiority. Jcstas "Tine
was made for slaves" Sc were
Rules made for Matter; " Mind,
Mind (they tapped their fore
heads is not material; it is above
and beyond mere Rules So the
S'ourt gradually swelled up and
scared aboHe its own rules. The
lawyers then dragged in a few
Bashi-Bazouk eases, got some de-
cisionS and, having no more use
for the balloon, let the Court settle
back to Earth-and to RuleS-till
next time.
Now, litigants would like to
know if Rule 8 is i'll force again,
or if 1t has been rescinded, or if
any Of the thirty-two Rules are
in fcrce-at Prescott or elsewhere.

The Wonderful Torpedo.

Noting the fall of Russian bonds in
European markets in consequence Of the
warlike attitude Of England, and the ri
yalry Of the two powers in providing them
selves with torpedoes, We New York
Times is reminded that in<xhe 6rst out
break Of the Paraguay BrazilNq war, an
en'erprising speculator offered his servi.
ces to the Paraguayan governments for .
handsome consideration in blockin., the
advance Of the Brazilian feet upon tfe
rivers by means of torpedoes. This done,
he instantly sent word to his partner IN
New York to come down at once and offer
his services to Brazil for tie removal of
the torpedces, whose Whereabouts was to
be indicated by a specified signal. In this
way, says the Times, the one partner con-
tinued to plant them and the other to pull
them up during the whole of the four
years war, after which those enterDrising
Yankees, having earned upwards OF $780,
600 by their united eXertions, wound up
by selling The still uneXploded tOrpedoes

OREs of cobalt and of nickel are now
meeting a good demand Orders have
been given for its purchase cn this coast
by number of European tletallurgical
houses. The extensive cobalt deposits in
the Southern part Of Yuma county may
yet assume an important position among
our resources. The determination OF Ger.
many to largely replace her smaller silver
and her copper coins altogether BY nickel,
and the somewhat extensive use of this
metal for coinage purposes by our own
Government, have doubtless had some
thing to dS with producing what seems to
be a scakeity Of nickel IN the principal
marketYof the world.

Tucson and Tubac 100 Years Ago.


a document found twenty five
years ago among some old archives
in Tucson. It explains itself. It
shows how the Apaches harried
that vicinity then as they have
since, until within the past few
years. No town could have lived
for over 100 years under such ter
rible pressure, unless its vitality
was drawn from a surrounding
country rich in mineral and agri-
cultural resources:

SESoR CAPTAIN Don PEDRO
ALLANDE Y SAVEDRA:
RESPECTED CAPTAIN: In vIr-
tue of your order, dated the Goth
of the current month, to the eff.
feet that I and two citizens of the
most eminence, well known in the
country and reliable, should ap-
pear in your presence to give you
information concerning this local
ity as to watering places, lands for
corn-fields, pastures for horses and
also as to points OF ingress and
egress of the inimical Apaches,
and where they make their abodes,
I, Don Manuel Barragua, and An
tonic Romerp and Francisco Cas-
tro, (who are the two individuals
who possess the requisites which
you demanded), most respectfully
obey, and affirm that the town of
Tubac is situated between two
mountains, which are distant from
ch other six leagues. In the
y-alley there is much land fertile
/ suitable for corn-fields. There

Tor corn; but if that which is at Tu-
nnacacori be distributed, one week
to the Indian laborers and another
for Tubac, it will sufficiently ben
eft the said lab0rers, and there
Will be an abundance of water; in
this manner was it disposed of by
our former Captain, Don Juan
Bapt. Angua, and recently this
same disposition has been sane
toned by your honor.
There is much pasture, with
an abundance of suStenance for
horses and cattle, as well on the
hills and daleS as on the noun
tainless plains. In the same val
ley there is q great deal of cot
tonwood and willow, and in the
Santa Rita Mountain there is an
abundance Of excellent pine, Of
easy access, six leagues distant
OF provisions alone, there is raised
every year by the inhabitants, six
hundred or more fanegas Of wheat
and corn-not one-third part of
the land being occupied.
There are many mines of very
rich metals, to the west, in the
vicinity of Aribac, at a distance
of seven leagues; there are three

cinity, one of which yields, ac-
cording to rule, Ode sopotable ley)

beyond this vicinity, in the valley
of Babocomori, there are fine gold
placefs, examined by Don Jose de

tion, and they do not work them
because there are Apaches in all
these places; because they live
and have their pastures there, and
pass continually by this mountain
itself to a place little more than
four leagues off, called Hot Springs
(Agua Caliente). Daily experience
ing more violence from the ene-
my because he is aware of the few
troops that we possess, we have
desired to break up our homes and
sell our effects; and yoa being
aware Of it, we received the order,
which you were pleased to send
US, imposing heavy penalties up
on us if we! should remove or sell
our goods, ard have punetually
obeyed it; and now finally, the
last month, the Apaches finished
with the entire herd of horses and
cattle which we had guarded; and,
at the same time, with boldness,
destroyed the fields and carried
away as much corn as they were
able. Since the fort was removed
to Tucson, these towns and mis-
sions have experienced some cas-
ualtieS; so much so that they have
been obliged to burn the town Of
Calabasas-a calamity it never be-
fore experienced. Also, bat few
days ago, the cavalcade which the
Apaches brought from the West
was grazing for three days in the
vicinity, falling every day upon
the fields to load with corn, and to
run away with those whom they
found there; and lastly, their not
leaving the neighborhood, we mo-
mentarily expect that they may
serve uo iiii'i O,i id44ItIfG.s a., I11ey

being nothing else left for them
to do. =
We trust in God that, by tie
numerous petitions of the poor
people, this fort may be restored
to its ancient site, and if neceas-
ity requires it, there shall be more
troops to protect the herds, by re-
naming at the several points of
ingress and egress, which the en-
emy have established throughout
this entire region, and that they
may be continually watching from
the hills and adjacent mountains.
We humbly beseech you, in the
name of the whole community,
that you will pity our miSfortunes
and listen to our petition, that you
may repair the continual misfor-
tunes that we have suffered, being
in continual expectation CT our.
total destruction.
Welive in great confidence, from
the knowledge that some of us
have of you, that, by your exer-
ton, and by your conduct, and by
that of the military commandant,
we shall receive the benefit to
which we are entitled, since no
dne is better known than Seii0r
Savedra, and he knows that we
exaggerate nothing, considering
the many years we have been un-
der his orders:

evening, before large audience, on Gold

Comstock." After tracing siver\and gold
from nebelous matter, and speaking of the
vein formation, he said: We have\ seen
enough of nature now to project our mNds
into that unquiet age, and make ourselTSs
present at the miracle of creation in thS

At meeting of the vcstry of st.
Paul's church, Waco, Texas, held on
the Monday after the Goth Sunday
after Trinity, November 4th,) 1878,
the following preamble and resolu-
tons were adopted:
WHEREAS, our Heavenly Father
has called from his labors in the
church militant while ministcring to
his fever stricken flock at Point &C.
leste, Plaquemine Parish, Louisiana,
the REV. 0TIs HAcKETT, for six yea
rector Of this church, and Inns taken
him to the rest and peace Of para
disc; therefore be 1t
Resolred, That while we rejoice
that by his faithfulness, even unto
death, another name Is added to the
noble army of martyrs who have
thought the good fight Of Faith"
we cannot but sorrow that we shall
"see his face no more" here on earth.
That we desire to bear testimony TO
his pntirihg labors while over us in
the Lord, and to place on record that
we are indebted to him under God
for much of the present strength and
prosperity of our parish.
That we also owe to his faithful
and loving instruction aided by the
grace of God our personal growth in
the religious life and the love OF
Christ's Bride, the church.
That we will emulate his pure and
unselilsh life and labors of love.
i That 1t is the sense of this Vestry
that the placing of memorial win
dow in the .chancel Of the new
church would be u fitting evidence
. of our high appreciation of the vir'
, tues of the deceased, and actor
to this end is heartily commended tC
the consideration of the entire mem
berrhip of the parish. sE
That We offer our heartfelt sympa

The Waco EXAMINER allude

The Waco EXAMINER alludes to
the loose manner in which public
officers usually discharge their du-
ties, and their failure to keep salts
factory records of the business dis
charged by them. The EXAMINER
saws:
"What the government needs, and
what counties need, is concise sys-
TEN of bookkeeping, exactly such
rs is practiced in any well regulated
private business, a system in which
every cent received or expended, is
put down in black and white in such
order that the cash on hand balances
at any moment with the accounts,
and in which the book-keepcr can
at short notice make out u statement
of losses and gains, of receipts and
expenditures, Of resources and lia-
bilities that child can understand,
and the worst cayiler can not for a
moment dispute" frr1i (
As an evidence of the general neg
lect in this matter, 1t is stated that
sheriff Jordan, the present incun-
bent, Is the first sheriff in Galveston
county to keep complete and intel
ligible set of books showing all his
official transactions. The ExAMI-
NER says: .f546s
eve need a clear statement pub
ished quarterly by each officer
handling money, statement which
shall explain every cent of the mon
cy passing through his hands. A
summary of so much received and
so much expended is worth nothing,
il is the itcIHized account we need"
This was once done in the affairs
of the city corporation Of Galveston,
and doubtless operated as a great
check on extravaganza and pccula-
tion.-- Galveston Ne,os.
