The Alleged Tilden Plan for Dis
 placing Hayes.

The Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Times gives what purports to be a correct account of the plan fixed upon last summer for displacing Hayes and inaugurating Tildcn. Just before leaving for Europe Tilden, according to this correspondent, had conference with intimate friends, consisting ot leading men from every State and one member of the Supreme Court, to devise means to gain the place to which he believed himself to have been elected Tnls idea was to hit upon plan that could be acted on imme- diately. Quo warranto proceedings would be too long, and it was finally concluded that bill might be introduced giving the Supreme Court original jurisdiction in certain matters connected with State rights. A bill was to be passed permitting the State of Louisiana to come before the United States Supreme Court and declare that the electoral vote of that State had been wrongly counted for Hayes, and ap- ply for writ commanding Mir. Hayes to show by what warrant this was done. It was thought that Senators enough could be found to be induced, under various in- fiuences, to pass the bill. A prominent Louisiana politician was to arrange for Louisiana coming forward and demanding the bill. A jury would be required, and it was decided that the bill should allow the selection of jury from the Chief Justices of the various States, and, if they should be exhausted, then from the Associate Justices. When the matter was ready, it was laid before five prominent Southern men. Much to the disgust of the mana

the Texan struggle he returned to Ger many, and wrote an account in his native language of that interesting period, giving much information of the new country, which has induced large emigration of Germans to Texas. He afterward returned to the United States and, in 1S40, at St Louis, joined a party which crossed the continent to Oregon. Thence he went to the Sandwich Islands, and after wandering in Polynesia few years returned to Cali forna in time to join Colonel Fremont in the effort to free California from Mexican rule. He remained in California until the Gadsden purchase attracted his restless nature. In 1856 he settled near Tubac and engaged in working the silver mines in the Santa Rita mountains, Arivica, Cerro Colorado and other parts of the Territory He was civil engineer and scientist of more than ordinary reputation and ability. The town of Ehrenberg, Yuma county, was laid out by and named after him. He was killed at Palm Springs, on the Cali fOrnia desert.

It is curious fact that the United States
 was the first nation to force an entrance
 through the closed straits of the Darda- relies. In 1901 Commodore Bainbridge,
 who had a secret message to convey to the
 Sultan from the Dey of Algiers, sailed from
 Algiers for Constantinople in the Ameri- can frigate George Washington. As he knew he would not be allowed to proceed up to the capital, he made show of con- ing to anchor of the Castles of the Oar danelles, in the meanwhile firing heavy salute. As the wind blew strong up the channel, under cover of the smoke of his all his canvas to the breeze. Before the Turks could discover his maneuvers he was out of range of their cannon, and speeding his way with such velocity that it was impossible to overtake him. When he cast anchor off the mouth of the Golden Horn, and displayed the stars and stripes, great was the surprise and consternation. He was supposed to be a pirate, as the flag of the United States, never having be- fore been floated in Turkish waters, was Having no knowledge of Ame- rica, the Turkish authorities were inform ed the vessel was from the New World After considerable delay, and threats of in the Seven Towers for having passed through the Dsrdanelles without previous permission, the Com modorc was admitted 10 an audience q. tue palace, and eventually. accornplish the objects of his mission.

How PostOn Founded Yuma.

In 1861 Professor Raphael Pumpelly des- cribed Yuma as a place consisting of one house, and says that Col. c. D. Poston, now of the Florence Lard Office, gave him the following account of its origin:
 Soon after the purchase of Arizona, Pos ton had organized party and explored the new region. Wishing to raise capital in California to work valuable mlne, he was going there Gin 1854 or lS55) with his party, when they reached the Colorado river at this point. The ferry belonged to a German Qaeger) whose fares for the party would have amounted to about s25. Having no money, they encamped near the ferry to ho.d council over this unex- pected turn of affairs, when Poston, with the ready wit of ar explorer, hit upon the expedient of paylng the Heritage in city lots. Setting the engineer (Herman Ell. renberg) of the party, and under him the whole force, at work with the instruments and great display of signal-staffs, they soon had the city laid out in squares and streets, and represented in due form on an elaborate map, not forgetting water lots and steam ferry. Attracted by the un- usual proceedings the owner of the ferry crossed the river and began to interrOgate the busy surveyors, by whom he was refer red to Poston. On learning from thai gen. tlcman that city was being founded so near his own land, the German became interested; and as the great future of the place was unfolded in glowing terms, and the necessity of a steam ferry for the in- creasing trade dwelt upon, he became en- thusiastic and began negotiations for sev- eral lots. The result was the sale of 8 small part of the embryo city and the transportation of the whole party over in part payment Tor one lott [Hinton's Hand Book

gers, they all refused to have anything. to do with it in any way, because their sec ton wanted peace, and the proposed pro- ceeding meant revolution. No influence could be brought to bear sufficiently po- tent to change these Southerners, and, much to the disgust of Tilden and others interested, the scheme failed, and thus, as the Times correspondent has it. "Those so-called Confederate Brigadiers saved MT. Hayes throne and title for the second time." The same authority asserts that Hendricks did not favor the plan, and went to Europe to be out of the way while it was being matured.

An Arizona Pioneer.

Herman Ehrenberg was no ordinary man. He came to the United States at an early age and worked his way to New Or leans, where he was located when the Texas war summoned him with others to activity. He enlisted in the "New Orleans Grays," and was present at the battle of Goliad and Earnings defeat, and was one of the few who survived the barbarous massacre of prisoners who surrendered to the Mexican authorities. At the close of

It is rumored, says NJ. Labouchere, from St. Petersburg, that the Czar is seriously indisposed-weak and so thin that he sits on pillows and soft cushions to prevent the bones from coming through the skin. He is depressed, too, with a presentimcnt of his approaching death. No Romanof has lived beyond sixty, and he will be sixty in April. When his sister died, some two years ago, she reminded him of this, and told him he must be prepared to go before he is sixty. They say her words made a that he is not well they constantly recur to him.

| flowing the points of the compass
 round towards the north, your
 eye first rests upon Avie Quah-la- Altwa, (Avie signifying mountain
 n the Indian tongue) or Pilot
 Knob, as known to emigrants; a little further on, Avie A-re-1a
 Hampan, connecting with low
 ranges of white sand hills; then
 4vie Qui-a-sa ViHo to the north-
 vest light and dark range, Avie Qui-a~sa and Avie Haz-e-nas ; then vie Sut-ma-neOu-ra - all
 iso ated ranges. Ranging across
 the north is Avie Mil-li-ket, it's highest peak called by Americans ChiI ley Peak, and by the old
 Jes sts San Pablo. The Indian
 name is in.honor of a learned and
 wise chief, who became a deity
 after his death. He occupies a
 large cavern in the mountain, the
 entrance to which is guarded by a raccOon, pet during his stay on
 earth the path which leads from
 the cave to the river bank is said
 to be distinctly marked by his
 foot prints. He seems to enjoy long intervals of sleep, and when aroused from his slumberS by the
 wickedness of his worshippers, he is believed to change his position, and the act of rolling over causes the rumbling earthquakes which are frequently felt throughout this section of country. During the last shock experienced there, It is reported that a large piece of the peak Mil-li-ket, solid rock as it is, was broken off and rolled into the plain beneath. The h. dians make regular visits to the spot, like MahOmedans to the shrine of Mahomet. To the east of Mil-li-ket is another remarka- ble looking peak, called Pin-chie, the allegorical allusion scarcely bearing mention; the two are al- most in juxtaposition. Avie.Mil- li-ket is quite an extended lange, and is about twenty-five miles north of Yuma. To the northeast, and about twenty-five miles dis tant, is Avie Tok-a-va, or Dome mountain, a solid rock many feet in night and resembling the dome of a cathedral. Some god is SUD- posed to inhabit this range. Near it is a second peak, called the Broken Dome. To the east, and extending south, are the Cone mountain and the Sierra del Gila. To the southeast mountain after mountain rises up; to the south those of Lower California Coco pah mountains) are plainly visible, so high that snow envelops their tops; and when the southwest winds blow they are more chilly than those from the north, bear ing along with them the cold air of the snow-clad peaks. From a distance these mountain ranges look rugged in the extreme, al though here and there, as you watch the play of the sun, you see reflected back perpendicular walls of smooth, white rock.
 The atmosphere is so clear that l you are able to see at long dis tances. In the morning a beauti- full sight is afforded by the mirage. It has the effect, apparently, of raising the mountains and bring ing them more plainly to view, and many arc the fantastic and peculiar shapes that are repre- sented.

Armistice.

Words comes from Constantinople that
the commanders of the Turkish forces IN
the field have been instructed 10 conclude
an armstice with the Russian commanders,
and as Russia IS said to have consented
to arrange for an Armistice, without con
siderlng preliminaries Of peace, hostile
demonstration will cease for while.
This act of the Turks is occassioned by
the advise OF Lord Derby; tn. response to
the request of the Sultan, for England to
interfere, Derby says that Russia declines
to treat with Turkey through an interme-
diate power, put is willing to consult with
Turkish representatives direct. However
humiliating it may be for the sick man
to beg for a suspension of hostilitles, it is
the ultimate fate of government that for
centuries has been but a few degrees re-
moved from barbarism. e..T.. Eys ,y..r
Although Russia may not have been fully
justified in its present movements against
Turkey, and admitting that the desire to
frae the Christians from Turkish thral.

the ambitious desire Of conquest; yet,
since the great Bear has MANNED the once
powerful enemy, and is slowly tearing its
way to the very vitals Of the naughty Sui

would rejoice to see the sceptre wrenched

hamedens, and tLeir country divided

that of idolat1y. and persecution. "a

IN "the almost forgotten past" DR.. Stone
owned well-matched PAIR of horses, rath-

church ON Sunday from his home in the
Roxbury Dist. In his congregation was a
dear, sanity old lady-a veritable mother
in Israel-who loved her pastor aud would
not tolerate the thought that he could do
anything wrong. As she was beng logged
along the mll-dam road in the family car
riage Sunday morning, on her way to
church, accompanied by her son, the pas

gait, it being little late, and passed them
like flash, the doctor holding the rains,

sighted old lady, 'to be so unmindful of

baggage and three passenger coaches
went down on the western end of the
bridge, the engines touching the shore,
three cars breaking through the ice in
eight feet of water. and one car resting on
end of ths pier. Seven bodies were re-
covered at 2 O'Clock this morning, and
