Ben BUTLER accepts the nomination to
run as the workingmen's candidate for gov
ernor of Massachusetts,. The idea OF honest
laborers inviting the chief of rognes to be-
come their candidate horders on the ridicu-
inus. Our svmpathies are altogether with
the working classes. We sprung from their
ranks and fully appreciate their wants and
wrongs, and hence it is We feel Inundated to
see them passing under the lead of the
greatest scoundrel of the age. If the work
ingmen's agitation is to result in nothing
better than bringing Beast Butler TO the
front, it will be labor wasted.

The tides ascend for thirty seven miles.

Whenever they occur broad slough, north and west of the Fort, is filled, and completely isolates it from the main land, communication being had only by means of boats.

Ttis trade, however, can only be worked up slowly with great per- severance, and is feature of the future rather than the present. Again, at four cents in New York, lead pipe would in many cases compete with iron, and the of white lead would be mate- rially increased, thus affordIng broader outlet for lead, and helping to check de- cline To these facts must be added the that at these low rates many mines and prospects badly situated, or would cease to produce. While, therefore, a calm survey of present figures and future outlook forbids the hope that lead will again reach the prices of the early months of 1877, we may feel tolerably certain that the disastrous decline of this year cannot be repeated, and that prices cannot for some time to come fall below touch that ultra low limit"

quality.

Wood Dodd, brother of Indian Agent
 Dodd, who was murdered ten years since
 by his proteges, the Navaioe arrived in town yesterday from Camp Apache, where
 he is employed as guide. Mr. Dodd first came to Arizona ten years since with c. E. Cooley and Chas. Franklin They outftted and started from the Zuni Villages for the Coyotero Apache country, where they ex- pected to meet an Indian guide that was to lead them to some particular spot where gold could be found in quantities sufficient to load pack mules or even wagons Their guide failed to lead them on to fortune. They, however, with courage and in hopes of finding wealth, pushed on into the lonely wilds of the craggy forest, sur rounded by hundreds of bloodthirsty de- mons who were watching their chance to bounce upon and annihilate them, when fortunately they fell in with Col. Green and a large number of soldiers who chanced to be in the mountains, and were rescued from what otherwise would have been cer- tain death. When captured by Col. Green their situation was not in all particulars pleasant as that officer, finding three white men in the heart of an Indian country, looked upon them as white allies of the Apaches, and gave orders for their execu. ton, his orders only being stayed by the intervention of his guide, Mr. Geo. Cooler of Tucson, who was at the time absent from the command and arrived just in time to save them. He knew the brave adventurers well, and plead for their lives. The three gentlemen are still in the coun- try, and have, ever since their rescue by the colonel, taken an active part in fighting the Indians and, perhaps, no three men in the Territory have done so much towards and bringing to perfect subjec- tion the Apaches as Dodd, Cooley and Franklin.-t Miner.

The Lead Market, 1877.

We make the following extracts from a review published by MT. Edward A. Cas- well, metal broker, 240 Pearl street:
 "The dangerous competitors of Missouri miners today are not reductions in the tariff, but increase of the argentiferous lead productions. Territories which have advanced the figures ot their collective output in five years time by steadily in creasing steps from 13,00O tons to over 45- GOO tons, may we'll be regarded with ap- prehension, and their growth be watched with jealous interest.
 "Tne abolition of our lead tariff still seems to be to many lead producers an evil to be dreaded and prevented, while in reality it is a question of small moment. With free trade to-day foreign pig lead would cost about Az cents currency laid down in New York, and It is not likely that the price will at any future time de- cline any further, because, at rates only a little lower, Spanish production begins to fall off, so that the removal of the tariff to- day could only affect the price of our home productions one quarter of cent. It may be urged that free trade would pre- vent all advance, but as stated above, do- nestle production to day threatens far in lead than would free trade, for reports from all over the country indicate an in- crease ill 1878 over that 1877.
 "The question is frequently asked Where, then, must the decline in lead stopT 10 which the general answer may be

California Fan Palm.

The California fan palm (Prichardia fili- fera; Bahea filamentosa) is native of Ca- liiornia and is found along the Colorado river and in some places in the desert in San Diego county. Several Eastern and foreign periodicals and horticultural pa- pers have given illustrations of tbis palm,
 but none of them came anywhere near its natural structure. The cut we give is taken from photograph from plant only three years old, grown by John Rock, the well known nurseyman of San Jose. The seed was sown on the 15 h of Februa- TO, 1875, and the plant stands now three feet ten inches high The objection to palms has always been their slow growth; taking long time to make showy plant Often people have planted the Australian cabbage palm (Coryha Australis), the most common one found in nurseries, and after a few years nursing they have thrown them out because they would not make any headway in growth. About 20 years ago lot of seed of this palm was brought to San Jose and Louis Provost, the pioneer nurseryman, cultivated them and raised about 50 plants: there were distributed over the State, most of them having grown into specimens of 20 and 80 feet of night.
 Gov. Latham, of this city, bought two in San Jose, which stood, at the time of pur- chase, about 25 feet in night, for the hand some sum of S1OO0 These he moved to Menlo Park, distance of IS miles. Many doubted their ever growing, but they have done finely. They stand now 30 feet ir night and are 214 feet in diameter, crown ed with head of fan leaves. They stand in front of magnificent residence, on an open lawn, and present most beautiful aspect
 MT. Grant I. Taggart, Oakland, informs us that two of this species of palm are growing at Shasta on the premises of W. OOuEly Ol Oildotd COull- ty. They were planted some 20 years ago. they have immerse trunks from three to four feet in diameter This must be about as far north as palms were ever cultivated in the open ground. At Shasta the ground is often covered with two feet of snow. This is another proof of the hardness of this palm.
 The California fan palm is most distinct of all palms, Aaving fine thread hanging down from it's leaves. It will be very va- luable as all ornamental plant in all sub tropical climates, being the fastest grower and hardest of all palms. Not until the last three years has it's native place been known, but upon the completion of the S P. R. R., they were found along its line, and even whole carloads of large plants were brought to San Francisco and sold They may be now had almost at any nur- sery at reasonable fgure.-[ Scientific

AAUTX RELIEVED.
The Whipple Theatrical Troupe
 Loses Hts Leader.

Gen. Kautz is relieved and so is Arizona. The great commanding Fossil is about to receive government transportation to some remote point where his inefficiency and imbecility wont be noticed; to some favor ed spot where he can appropriate govern ment property to private uses," and not have the irreverent man of the SENTINEL and the uncharitable people of Tucson continually poking fun and impudence at him. The Fossil departs, but he will not be forgotten; he leaves a record. He has been well worried by the opponents of truth a..d justice, and must rejoice in the prospect of shortly being transported out of their way. His services in Arizona are so justly appreciated at Washington that he will doubtless never again be troubled with the command of a department or any other responsible position.
 Some time since we were informed by reliable authority that this relief would speedily come, hence we have held our peace. The following is fresh from the heroes of the Santa Cruz:
 DEAR CITIZEN: Tucson weeps with Prescott over the relief of 6elOVe0 Kautz; tears are flowing thick and fast. Governor Stafford and Capt. Campbell are understood to be brutal y cXultant"
 We had thought the people of Tucson would rejoice, but they seem sad. This last blow has bowed those mighty men to tears We can only add Amen! Gone to meet his grandmother.
