PARIS, Aug 6, 1878.
IL is v orth while TO come to Eu-
rope, if for no other purpose, to get q
bird's-eye view of America or, az o
bright American girl expressed it, TO
look at our own country through an
inverted telescope. We will never
as people see ourselves as Europe
sees US, and it is not well that we
should, for, with all our national
pride and variety, we have not the
exaggerated opinion of our own
greatness, and the contempt for the
unworthiness of everything trans At
lantic that is 50 charming and in-
genuous in Englishmen and French
men. The average American has
not ss much conceit as the French
man or as much stolid arrogance as
the Englishman. But, however SO
little We may admit the justness of
their verdict, it is wholesome edit
cation to know that large msjority
of foreigners, especially in France
and England, look upon u with
very much the same plying contempt
that we regard the South American
republics. | have come to the con-
clusion, since | have had an oppor-
tunity for observation, that We are
more liberal and cosmopolitan than
our cousins on this side the water.
Their ignorance Of everything Amer
lean is sometimes amusing Last
week was talking with an intelli-
gent English lady, well versed in
English literature aud politics. We
were felicitating each other on the
immense number that spoke the Eng
lish language and the larger number
that wonld speak il in the future. !

on the right and necessity of seces-
sion because, be said, if Providence

not succeeded in making a very good
Impression on this side the water, and
especially are the habits, dress, ar d
manners of our tourist population
offensive to the French. The French
ere superficial people themselves,
and take superficial view of every
thing, and, it must be admitted, the
average American traveller is not su-
perfcially attractive. With these
volatile, amiable, graceful, conceited
apes, elegance Of manner, of dress and
address, are all the law and proph.
cts. The American abroad is good

ventional or, in the eyes of the
French, awkward. rude, addressed

Boiling for Yellow Fever.

The home Of n poor washerwoman
on lie street q widow and the
mother of four children) was inva-
ded by the yellow fever. and all Of
her children were attacked within
twenty four hours. Having had ex-
perience in nursing yellow fever,
she determined to dispense with the
services of u physician, and immedi-
ately administered the usual purga-
tives and placed the little ones in
bed, well covered with blankets.
Size succeeded in inducing perspi-
ration in three of her patients, but
the fourth and youngest one she
could not manage. The pores re-
mained closed and the skin dry. She
tried everything-mustard foot-bath,
hot drinks, and cold drinks-but all
her efforts were unsuccessful.
Stepping into the yard for a mo-
ment, the implements of her pro-
fession (the wash. boiler and tnbs)
met her visw, and instantly thought
suggested itself to her mind which
she at once acted upon. Procuring
furnace she started Are and placed
II In the room, and returning, half
Allied the wash boiler with water,
placing it on the 6re. She then took
the little one from the bed and sat
It IN the boiler allowing II to re-
mail there until it was nearly par
boiled, and returned it to its bed.
A neighbor, who had been told OF
her unavailing efforts, asked her how
the children were. After explaining
her modns operandi Of inducing per-
spiratiop, she wound up with the re.
mark, "That fetched her." All her
little ones recovered.-New Orleans

The Rain.

Californians have taken a new tack, those who during the late drouth were praying for rain are now quite willing to cry enough. The rains have been copious, water in every where, in some places the floods have been very des- tructive. The rainfall in the various sections of the State range from ten to thirty inches and still it rains. The San Francisco journals say it rains day and night, when the sun shines and when il don't. The ground is sat urated. Houses are damp, rheumatic men grumble at new pains in their bones. But for all this the rain is welcome, better too much than too little, enough rain has already fallen in every county in the State to insure good crops, and everyone predicts an abundant harvest in California this year We congratulate our neighbors on their good fortune and hope that Arizona will be sufficiently wet down 10 insure abundant crops here.

The party are look ing for a stray horse which they think Is among the Pimas and after paying tlelr respects 10 the Pima Chief and making thorough search they will return to san Carlos. The Captain. said they would be back in about five days, and left hls needle-gun in our care during that time; saying that being off duty and among friends he should not need 1t. We are just beginning to need 0 shotgun, hence we are in luck, and being "heeled" with an Indian weapon we are dangerous and lia- ble to brakeIout.

LAST Friday evening General William Myers, Colonel G. w. Bradley, Col. James NJ. Barney and MT. Phillips arrived from Maricopa Wells by private conveyance. General Myers and Col. Bradley are from the Headquarters Of the Department Of the Pacific and are making a trip through our Territory for health and pleasure. Col.

Mason placed his best team and spacious ambulance at the disposal of the party and they left on Sunday morning for a visit 10 the Silver King and other mines in Pioneer District. General Myers and Col. Bradley returned last even ing and express themselves greatly pleas ed with their Journey and observations by the way. Col.

Tucson Items.

United States Deputy Surveyor John L. Harris, returned to Tucson last Fri day after five months work in the field. During his stay out he surveyed public lands along the head of the Aravaipa valley, in the San Pedro and Gila val ley near their junction and later on the lower Gila below Mohawk station. NIT. Harris reports a large body, in cluding many thousands of acres, of very rich lani along the lower Gila with abundance of water for pur- poses of irrigation. Since farmers have lately settled in the vicinity and their growing fields of grain give eyi- dence of what can be done along the river. There are from 10000 to 200,- GOO acres of fine land in the valley and beyond question before many years they will be cultivated and add greatly to the wealth of the Territory.
 R. 4. Stretch, the well-known Cali tornia civil arl mining engineer, has been examining mines in this vicinity for the past week, but left for Globe on Monday from which district he will return here.
 ". C. Parsons, r. NJ. Leuth and J. H. White of Mohave county passed through Tucson early in the week en route south. They report affairs pros porous at the McCrackin hill
 Eskiminzin, chief of Apache In dianS, is now here and reports every thing quiet al San Carlos. He says the Chiricahua Indians are hard at work building a ditch and are fast settling down as farmers and stock men. The reports from the mines in the Aztec, Gro Blanco and Arivaca districts are all favorable. MT. Hood brought in large mass of very rich ore from the Orc Blanco the other day.
 The District Court is now in session, and as the grand jury brought in ten indictments for various offences it is probable that along session of court will ensue.
 A good many people are coming thls way and the town is full of strangers.

ROBBERS and highwaymen are getting altogether too bold. They have opened
 game in this town that wont work. Our
 handsome telegraph operator Mir. Guild, whose duties as meteorological observer. call him out at 4.30 in the morning, had a
 slight experience by moonlight alone with
 two Of these tramps, which we may men, tion as a wayside item. Last Tuesday
 morning hs Mir. Guild stepped out of his door the moon was yet shining bright, he
 noticed two suspicious looking characters standing in the shadow of Mir Deyine's
 house. Mir. Guild went to his office, and
 the men walked towards MT. Guilds
 house and then disappeared. When Mir. Guild was returning home his suspicious caused him to carry his pistol in his hand cocked-it was well he did-for just as
 he passed the corner of Mr. Deyine's
 house Mexican jumped out with a club and assumed an attitude more desperate
 than the present attitude Of England to-
 ward Russia, an accomplice appeared at the
 same time brandishing a butcher knife and intimated his attention of "sam- bling" the "star gazer." Our gallant observer permitted these desperados to advance within two steps of him and
 then he thrust his pistol full cooked in their faces, the flash of the moonlight on the nickle plated barrel sent q gleam oi terror through the hearts of the would-be lassassins; they threw up their arms and petitioned for an armistfce. Guild made
 them throw down their weapons and then
 permitted them to walk away alive. We
 are very sorry that "gleam of terror"
 wash composed of lead. Guild says he did not want to kill the cubs the first
 time, but the next time there will be
 corpse sure; and, "so say we all of us"
