Gone to he . HoOsier.


 John c. Bourke, popularly known as "Johnny," an old Hassayamper, almost q native of Prescott, having come here with his parents and family when he was little moro than an infant and grown up with the place, until he is now verging on to man. hood, left this morning by stage, for Evans vile, Indiana, where he will remain and go to school two or three years, and be the guest of his half-brother, who is in business in that city. Johnny is as well known as almost any person in Yavapai County, and is a universal favorite with all classes of people. His absence will be felt by all, but especially among his schoolmates, of whom he has ever been an acknowledged leader both in study and play. Johnny Bourke and Johnny Stephens have long held supreme sway over the juvenile population of Prescott, but their reign has been so mild and just that few have ever rebelled against their authority, and now the ab- sence of Bourke leaves Stephens absolute monarch of the young "Old HassayamPers. Many are the regrets, prayers and good wishes that follow the boy as he rolls away over the desert, across the mountains and plains to the land of hoop-poles, pumpkins, o'possums, pawpaws, beach-nuts and per simmons.

Gen. Shields.

It is noticeable what special interest
republicans just now feel 10 the welfare
of Gen. Shields and how ready they are
to cry Outrage" and abuse democrats for
not electing him doorkeeper. According
to telegraphic reports the General is not
specially enamored with their sudden soil
cltude, and like the good demo-
crat that he is telegraphed to Wash
ington that he was not a candidate,
and would not take the Office if offered
him. 1t certainly was a remarkable in
stance of party affection in the republicans
to be Dandying the Generals name around
for an Office like doorkeeper without even
knowing whether he wanted it, or would
accept if elected. For man who was the
colleague of Senator Douglass, and who
has an honorable reputation as soldier
senator, and democrat, the giving him 9
pension is much more becoming and sat
isfactory way of rewarding his eminent
services than thrusting upon him an insig
ni6cant Office, or attempting to make polit
ical capital out of the refusal of the dem
ocrats to allow the republicans to dictate
who shall, or shall not, be their candidate
for Office.

Forgery.

In December last John Connery forged
John Whitsitt's name on check for $500.
at West Liberty, Iowa, and had it cashed
there. The check was on the First National
Bank of this city, and, Mr.. Whitsitt not
having an account there, the forgery was
not Immediately discovered, but when pre-
scented at the Rock Island National, where
he does business, the fraud was readily
detected and investigation soon led to the
discovery Of the forger. At Mr.. Whit
sits suggestion the matter was kept still,
she better to enable the officers to arrest
the offender, which was finally done at
Cambridge, Ind, short time ago, and he
was then brought TO Muscatine, Iowa, on a
requisition, and lodged in Jail to await the
action Of the grand jury. Yesterday the
jury found an Indictment against him on
the testimony of Mr.. Whitsitt and Mr..
Ball, the cashier of the West Liberty bank.
The prisoner seems sincerely sorry for his
crime, says it is his first offence, and when
interviewed in his cell by his accusers
wept copiously. The chances are that ht
will not be very severely punished, as Mr.
Whitsitt, who is a very liberal hearted
gentleman, seems disposed to be merciful

The most precious of Gifts.

Health is undeniably q more precious
gift than riches, honor or power. Who
would exchange it for these, the chief OBJ
jects of human ambition? 1t is obviously
the part of wisdom to employ means for
the preservation of health and the pro-
longation of life which time and experience
have proved to be reliable, Many of the
dangers by which health is threatened may
be nullifed by the use Of that most irresis
tibe of correctives and tonics, Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters, which. by increasing vi
tai power and rendering the phyical func
tons regular and active, keeps the system
in good working order and protects il
against disease. For constipation. dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, nervousness, kid
ney and rheumatic ailments, 1t is invalu
able, and it affords sure defence against
material fevers. besides removing every
trace of such disease from the system
