was again envened. n few days ago. by box
ing match between Brother HARET MAYNARD
and Brother BARNEY FARLEY. two wel-known
pugilists OF the Pacific slope. We learn from
the Chronicle that in the fourth round hazards

Brother MAYNARD Brother FARLEY staggered
back to his corner with his face Scared and
bleeding. and much exhausted. On the call OF
the nth round Brother FARLEY came u . plucky.
but evidently much distressed. while his oppo-

OF weakening. Brother FARLEY again led the
FIGHTING. but met with an overwhelming re-
Spouse from Brother MAYNARD. who followed
up his advantage as rapidly as possible.
The round ended with FARLEY knocked
down IN the corner. and he was picked UP and
carried TO his chair 10y the seconds. About this

Tribute to the Late Miss Beyer.

EDITOR CITIzEN:-Miss Mary $. Beyer died in Tucson, September II, 1878. Her history prior to her arrival here over a year ago, is unknown to the writer; but judged by her department, industry and thrift at Tucson, it must have been highly exemplary and worthy Of imitation. She came among strangers; her only means Of livelihood, her skill and Industry; asked but what she earned; lived highly respected and died deeply regretted by those who knew her best, leaving enough money to pay the expenses Of a creditable funeral. The greatness Of such a life, is made truly great by comparison. Many stout, healthy men with varied avenues Of employment open to them, lead improvi- dent and beggarly lives, the cost of their last sickness and burial being tax upon forgiving or charitable acquaintances or the public. Although having nOrelatives near to mourn her final departure, Tucson sustained loss in Miss Beyer's death, be- cause she was good, useful and self-sup- porting person. Living an industrious and respectable life, she had true friends in life, and in her last sickness was at tended by faithful Christian people, and her remains were followed to the tomb by sincere mourners.

mex,cau Independence Day.

Last Monday September l6, was the National Independence Of Mexico. The independence movement was led by Se- nor Hidalgo, a priest. The declaration was read on the evening on September b, lSlO, and was acted upon the following day, accordingly the celebration this week began Sunday evening with music, a dis play of national flags, firing of anviIs, speech making, &c. LevIn's Park was beautifully decorated and illuminated. draped with flags and other emblems. A large portrait Of Hidalgo occupied a cen tral position back of the speakers, and portraits representing his apprehension and execution were hung at either end Of the stand. A large concourse of enthusi- astic Mexicans with fair sprinkling of Americans gathered at the Park and ap- proprlate speeches were made by Messrs. NJ. Vasquez, Y. BoniIlas and c. Velasco. Early Monday morning the firing of an- vils, guns, &c.,, was again heard. In the afternoon all the principal stores were closed; at o'clock the procession formed, led by the Mexican band playing the various popular national airs. Next fol- lowed the triumphal car, carrying thirty two lovely little girls in gay and appro- priate attire, representing the various States of Mexico. The central figure in the car represented America. The ar af of exquisite taste, the character person. ated was that Of an Indian Princess with a dress and crown of bright colored feath- ters, carrying Q bow and culver in her left hand and supporting a banner with her right. After the car followed our school boys in double file each with sash and banner bright. After these came a grand cavalcade of horsemen, next following were carriages containing young ladies the fairest in the land-beautifully dressed and much admired. Many prominent citizens followed in carriages. The grand march terminated at Levin's Park, and speeches and singing ls again the order Of the day. The orators Of the evening were MeSSrS. Es- Meulnt, IT, IL DoNlit' NI' Uruchurber, c. Velasco and Wm. Zecken- dorf The patriotic sentiments expressed were greeted with hearty applause. The national hymn was sung as solo with chorus, the singers occupying the speak CTS stand. Solos and duets were sung by Misses Paulita Gomez, Josetita Vazquez, Jesus Csrrtllo, Dolores Ferreira, Celina Baron, Elisa Ramirez, Maria Lopez, Ester Hancock. The ladies sung with much spirit and expression and were frequently and warmly applauded. Many houses in town were brilliantly illuminated with coIored lanterns both Sunday and Mon day evening. Excellent order was pre- served and every feature Of the celebra- ton was pleasant and creditable.

TIE Eagle steam Flouring Mills of Tue son Is q growing institution under the pro- prletorship of MT. E. N. Fish. It has been improved from time to time till 1t has no superior anywhere. The business has so increased that platform scales to weigh wagon loads became necessary and this week they were planted in front Of the mill. MT. Fish will accommodate parties desiring the use Of his scales for weighing hay, stock, &c., thus making 1t public long and much needed. Some Idea may be had Of the present de- mands upon MT. Fish, when we state that he has shipped over 5000 pounds Of flour this week to the various militery posts to San Carlos and elsewhere.

DR. J. c. HANDY made strike in his we'll last week which may encourage the sinking Of artesiau wells in town. The Doctors well was about thirty feet deep and the water poor. He concluded 10 sink. The workmen went down about three feet further where they struck ledge Of some thing like alabaster. One of the men drove his bar through the ledge when 1t dropped about Q foot, evidently through a current Of water for as soon as the bar was with drawn the water rushed up through the hole in such quantity that the work had to be abandoned. The well now contains five feet of good water and all efforts to lower it by bailing have proved inef- fecttye.

"The veYy man OF all others aoho has the

ling still loauer betaoeen noon and night, these
things constitute the oery harvest time Of spec
ulators, and Of the 'ohole race Of those aoho are
at once idle and crafty. a disor-
dered currency is one of the greatest political
euils. Hundermines the uirtues necessary for
the support Of the social system, and encour-
ages propensities destructive to its hnppixess.
1t ecars against industry, trugality and econ

that achich deludes them aoith paper money.
This is the most efectual Of intentions to fer
tilize the rich man s fields By the sweat Of the

The amazing incapacty of the Democratic
managers in the House to meet the most
vital requirements have been especially
shown in their postponement Of the appro-

the face of the clearest warnings, they have
left the government without adequate means
of support, and great deficiencies will con-
front them at the next session. The Demo

the present Congress has outstripped even
its proverbial character.-Bufdl0 ErpreSs.
