THE WEDDING SONG,

THE WEDDING SONG,
Grid on loves precious armor now,
The song of life renew,
The keynote is the marriage VOW
Sung long ago by you.
From wedding song of Twenty-eight,
There comes soft refrain;
The sweet Duet of Seventy-eight,
A glorious Golden strain.
The major key is loud aud strong,
The minor soft and true;
Blending the sweetest sounds prolong
That mortals ever knew.
Thus Mother Eve first set the tune,
Her daughters catch the strain
With love and Joy they gladly sing
The wedding song again.
This grand Duet from year to year
Adown the ages oats,
Together, now as once before,
Ye sing the bridal notes.
Thus when in unison tits sung,
The harmony is sweet,
When from each heart the tones are rung
The marriage songs complete.
And when the silver chord is past,
The golden strain is DER,
May you, together, chant at last
The wedding song once more.
When time is done may you prolong
Your souls well tuned in love,
The Il oily Lambs triumphant song,
EUernaDy ABOVE.

Mrs. 0. M. Brooks presented the following
There are many pleasant places
In this battlefield of life,
Resting places for the weary
Toing mid its din and and strife.
There are smiles for those who love us
When the world brings joy and peace,
There are tears and earnest prayers
When our cares and labors cease.
There are hopes aud brightest visions,
Silver, s'golden' in their hue,
When fond hearts are plighted, welded
To be faithful, kind and true.
But when years have rolled around US,
Noiseless, swift upon our way,
Full of blessing rich in mercies,
Visions turn to real day.
And we thank the glorious Oliver
For the love of fifty years;
Faithful, constant in the sunshine,
Thro' the cleaning and the tears.
bright example thou has set us
OF the faith and constancy
Which has ever marked the long life
God has portioned ont to thee.)
Backward thro' the long succession
Memory turns with longing eye,
To the dear ones given and taken,
Singing now in yonder Sky.
Golden links in richest chain
May you all united be;
Diadems and harps of glory
Yours beyond the crystal sea,
Portland, July 81, 1873.

EDITORIAL JOTTINCS.

"PATENT OUTsIDEs. ."-Johnson, Of
Sacramento, has introduced in the As
sembly = Sill relating to newspapers,
which provides that "the composition and
presswork performed upon newspaper
purporting to be published in this State
must be performed wholly or in part with
in the county where such newspaper is
purported to be published" The Bill is
said to be aimed at "patent outsides, 4"
but we can see nothing in the above synop-
sis which would effect them particularly,
as in every instance of which we know
anything, the labor is formed "in part"
within the county where they are pub
lished. The patent outsides" in Use in
this State are nearly if not quite all now
printed in San Francisco, where two es-
iablishments are devoted exclusively to
this business, but in some instances here
tofore the outsides have been brought
from Milwaukee, Chicago, etc. These
are furnished to the enterprising (?) pub
Usher ut about the cost Of blank newspx-
per Of the same size, but the inside pages
are gotten up and printed at the nominal
place Of publication, and are frequently
| inferior to the "patent outsides." In fact,
in several instances we might mention,
the papers would be greatly improved by
using patent insides also. The home
newspaper using 'patent outsides" is just
half a paper, and that half is too often the
one which is printed abroad.
The support Of a local paper depends
mainly upon its being local, and the more
local it is made the better will it serve the
purpose Of its publication. The people
OF counties and Of popular towns believe
their interests will be advanced by q
newspaper, and when one is started they
| patronize it more on account of its being
a home institution than for any other
reason. We know such is the fact in our
own case, and believe it is so with all
papers published in small communities
When half Of the paper is printed abroad
it loses much OF its id entity rs local pa
per, and we don't believe the people take
as much interest in its welfare under such
circumstances. We also maintain that It
is the duty Of officials AS we'll as citizens
having patronage TO dispense, to favor the
paper printed wholly at home, in prefer
ence to the half local and half foreign
sheets. a law compelling the publica-
ton OF all legal notices in paper printed
acholly within the county where published
would only be proper protection to egiti-
mate publications, and would aid mate
rally in dscouraging the use OF "patent
outsides."

a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
From editorials recently published in the
San Francisco Chronicle it appears that
there is we'll defined movement on foot
in the State Senate calcul9ted to defeat
any measure proposed for the calling Of
n Constitutional Convention. AT the last
election ;his question WAS submitted to the
people Of the State in legal form nearly
two-:hirds Of those voting on the issue
were in favor OF the Convention and a
majority Of 739 Of all votes cast at said
election were so recorded. The language
Of the present Constitution is mandatory
and swith the facts rs above stated the
members Of the Legislature must do one
Of two things: They must by law pro-
vide for calling n Convention-or they
must willfully violate the oath OF Office
they took to support the Constitution Of
the State Of California. The people voted
for the Convention and the Constitution
says the Legislature must provide for
holding it. Should the present session re-
fuse to do its plain duty in the premises,
the members will have to face an out.
ragged public and take the consequences.

MINING AcCGDENT.-By the accidental
discharge Of II blast in quartz mine on
Deadwood mountain, Siskiyou county
Chas. Nesbitt and young man named
Jones were seriously injured. The blast
had been put in when it was discovered
that thd fuse did not reach below the
tampEg, and the mon We're engaged in
taking the tamping out when the explo-
sion occurred. The following account of
their injuries is taken from the Yreka
Journal Of Jan. Both: "NesbitL's right
hand was badly torn, so that Dr.. Robert,
son had to amputate it above the wrist,
and the same arm is also brokon below
the elbow. His left hand was also badly
torn the two last fingers, aud part Of the
third being blown off, leaving the index
finger untouched, while the thumb was
also badly torn though hanging to the
hand. The Doctor fastened tho thurnb in
place and dressed the hand, with tho in
tention Of endeavoring to save it. The
same arm is also broken above tho wrist.
Jones is also seriously injured, one ofhis
eyes being put out, and the other in great
danger. His face is terribly inAamed,
and on opening the eye, the Doctor OBJ
served the water escaping and tho eye
ball fattened, which renders it certain
that one eye is gone for any future use.
The other eye is also inaamed from which
the Doctor extracted pieces of rock. One
great advantage in favor of the injured
men, is tho very small loss Of blood, thus
retaining their full strength and vatslity."

A NEW YORK OPINION The T}t5-
Une Of Jan. Goth expresses itself in this
wise: These san Francisco communists
arc the fiercest kind Of roiormers. They
want mal!easance in Office TO be punished
by imprisonment for life, With no possibil-
ity for pardon. They want all bloated
bondholders who have more than square
milo Of land to be restricted hereafter to
that amount. They want the Electoral
Colleges abolished; Chinese cheap labor
abolished; but the sacred right TO organ
ize riots maintained and pretty much
everybody legislated to pieces. but the
workingmen Of Ban Francisco. 1t fol-
lows. without saying it, that these gentle
men believe that the divine law of labor
prescribes eight hours a day, and that
no workingmAn should profane his brow
with more than genteel perspiration."

An Arizona Enterprise.

One or the most important mining enterprises recently established is the Toltec Mining Company, of Water bury, Conn. This syndicate own twen- iy-tive mines in the Cerro Colorado. Arivacs, Orc Blanco and Tyndall dis tricts, in Pima county, Arizona, all within a radius of fifteen miles from Tubac. This region is proverbially rich and the mines embraced in this company have been selected with great care by Colonels ToZer and Wi,herell, well known and experienced mining engineers. Arizona has the great ad- vantages of rich ere near the surface, mlld climate, cheap supplies raised in the Southern valleys, cheap Mexican labor, and at thIs early stage of it's de- velOpment, low prices for properties of great value. The extension this Win ter of the Southern Pacific F. R. of California cuts the heart of the min ing region, assures cheap communica- ton and a consequent advance in the value of all properties. The prospect for this Connecticut organization Is ex- cellent, especially as it's management IS conservative, honest ard intelligent The control of il is held in New En- gland by some of is best and most in fluential citizens, with John C. Booth, of Waterbury, 8 rich and successful business man, as President Three of their mines have been organized into sub company, called the Belmont Mining Company, the properties being on the same lode as the celebrated HeintZelman mine and believed 10 be as rich as this property which has pro duced over one million dollars. A. F. Abbott, of Waterbury, is Secretary, and Thomas L. Watson, of Bridge port, is Treasurer, both of whom are we'll known bankers of New England.
 The above is from the New York Mining Record of September r. We give it place in THE CITIZEN for the inspection of our readers.

Large Mining Operation.

On the 27th of September, an agree ment was entered in'o by party in Tucson with A. E. & L. E. Schiefelin and Richard Gird, owners of certain mining properties in Tombstone dis tricL Pima county, including the now famously rich Tough Nut claim The substance of the agreement is that in consideration of the erection of ten stamp quartz mill, he building of a dam in the San Pedro river and ditch thence to the mines, to be completed by the first day of January next or as soon thereafter as a diligent prosecu- ton of the work can be made 10 do it, sn undivided one fourth interest in the mining and milling property is to be deeded 10 the other party. Ex-Gover nor Stafford and E. A. Corbin, and per haps some others, are interested in the transaction.
 Now the people of Pima county may rest assured that this transaction does not mean simply 6 '" stock deal" Ii means actual and legitimate mining for the profits that will follow the re- duction of the wondrously rich ore of the Tough Nut and other mines. In much less than a year these gentlemen will be turning out at least $10O, ,0OO per month.
 This is the property which was re. gently in the market at $90,000. Ii cannot be bought today for million, cash. Many thought and said the own CTS were foolish for asking $9O, 900 for their claims They did not think SC and expressed entire satisfaction when not purchased at that price. Being men accustomed to legitimate indus try and hard work, they, with pleasure on the failure of the parties 10 pur. chase, purchased supplies and return ed to the development of their proper. ty, and at once declined to sell except at much above S90,OOO. Develop ments have more than met their expec. tations. They are eminently deserving men and we congratulate them oH their splendid success.
