To Father Time.

Dear Father Time, when I was young. And years were brief and jolly; When hearts were brimming OCT with 10, And knew not melancholy; Ere rheumatism nipped my joints With many an icy finger, And pain was short and sharp and keen. And knew not how 10 finger. In short, when we were in our teens, And Katy's hair ali yellow; And tufts Of down upon my chin Made me happy fellow; When fields were always green as grass, 7 And meadows starred with flowers, Why-then il did not rain in floods. But came in gentle showers. It never showed three feet at once! Twas but a fieecy sprinkling, Enough tO bring the coasters out, And set the bells a-tinkling. In summer the thermometer Stood never over S0-- And there always was a breeze Near fiery little Katy. But now Pm old and stiff and gray The weather is atroc ous! One day polar bear would freeze, The next the heats ferocious! So, if you please, dear Father Time, Take back the gifts you've brought me The dollars you've so kindly giv'n, The wisdom you have taught me. My whiskers' floating glorieS, tool Oh, Pll have joys in plenty. IT you'll give me back again Those sweet years under twenty.

GuanaiuatO NIEDe-

Some very rich specimens of silver ore are on exhibition in the alley on
 the siGe of the new Stock Exchange, on Pine street, which were taken from
 the Guanajuato mine, in Arizona, and arrived here last Thursday evening
 This mine is situated in a ravine, just south and at the base of the Pinal Mountains, in Pinal county. It is one and three-quarters miles from the Sil- yer King. and adioins the celebrated Silver Queen mine. The town of Flor ence is the nearest shipping point, which is on the line of the Central Pacific Railroad, thirty miles distant. The ledge runs north and south for a distance of ten miles, and there IS every prospect of the mine becoming one of the richest in this country. It was dis covered on the 2d of July, of this year the same day as the Webfoot mine which is on the other side of the rdge by Messrs. DOrr and Connolly, two well known prospectors. They have run a tunnel into the ledge from the side of the ravine, and have sunk three shafts, out of which the ore they have on exhibition wlS taken.
 The place where the mine was dis covered has been traversed by pros pectors many times, and they have passed this ledge without examining it, being deceived, no doubt, by the surface rock which is cropped with iron ore and black manganese.
 The owners have four tons of the rock at the crushing mills on Mission street, which assayed from 5000 to 5000 a ton. The rock just as it is taken from the mine, will average $500 to the ton. The owners have not come to the city to create a sensa- tion and sell the mine, but to get the necessary machinery for working it. They have twenty tons of rock on the way, which they expect shortly.

New Postal Agent.

Says a Washington dispatch of De cember 21: At the request of Senators Booth and Sargent and the entire Pa cIic coast delegation, Major Ben. C. Truman has been appointed special agent of the Postoflice Department, with headquarters in San Francisco.
 We understand Major Truman held this same position with the same head quarters during President Johnson's administration and at the same time was correspondent of the New York Times. He subsequently located al San Diego and became editor and part proprietor of the San Diego Bulletin. He disposed of his interests there a few years ago and located at Los An geles, purchased the Star and conduct ed it until last Summer, when he sold to the present proprIet"rs. While at Los Angeles, he prepared and publish ed 8 small volume entitled Tropical California" giving a glowing discrip- lion of the southern portion of the State and it's capabilities. He iS, there fore, a man of considerable capacity, and we are informed that firm adhcr- ence to Lis friends accounts for his political success, and in great meas ure makes his publishing ventures a financial success. His jurisdiction as postal agent we presume will extend over ArIzona, hence this somewhat eN- tended notice.

4 Drunken Timber Agent.
From the Territorial Enterprise.

From the Territorial Enterprise.
 4 few weeks since special agent of the Government, l.. H. Redfield, re- ported that a copper-smelting company in Arizona was using Government tim Der in large quantities, and recom- mended that a commissioner be ap- pointed to sell the timber at a fair valuation to those requiring it. There upon the Secretary of the Interior an- nounced that the despoiling of govern ment forests must be stopped. The agent also announced that, owing to the unsettled condition of the Terri tory. it was dangerous for him to leave Tucson, and he therefore summoned the offending parties 10 travel three hundred miles from Clifton and Silver City to appear before him and answer When men of courage and enterprise penetrate a wilderness for the purpose of discovering and developing mines, it is small business in the government to seek to embarrass such undertak- ings by denying to them the free use of unsurveyed timber lands. But. without referring farther 10 this mat ter now, we will remark, on the au- thority of THE CITIZEN, that NIT. Red fields report to the Land Office was false, and that he did not draw a sober breath while in Arizona. Instead of visiting the timber lands around Cliff ton and Silver City, which he might have done in safety, he remained drunk in Tucson. and made his report from hearsay. THE CITIZEN writes very savagely of Redfeld, and inti- mates that he would probably be thrown down a sh fit should he aCain visit the Territory. We direct the at- ten;io1 of Secretary Scharz to this matter.

Congressional Proceedings.

December Il, Congressman Cain of South Carolina, presented papers re- lating to the claim of Milton B. Duff
 field, late United States marshal for the Territory of Arizona. This claim seems to 5e endowed with perpetual lite. IL has outliyed the claimant and without doubt is without merit. Perhaps ifs South Carolina manager can, at this late day, give it the semblance of merit
 On tue same day the speaker laid be | fore the House a letter from the Secre- tary of War, transmitting a report on ! cer;ain military roads in the Territory ! of Arizona; which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. This would be an interesting document to Arizona readers, and It may also bc instructive. Will not our Delegate send the Arizona press a copy for pub. licadon?
 On the same day petitions of I, 400  citizens of Pitsburg and 703 of the Twelfth Congressional district of Penn sylvania, were presented to the House asking for a grant of rublic lands, and aid m settlement of the srme, which were referred 10 inc Committee on Pub lie Lands. These petitions ought 10 be followed with others from the peo- pie of the Great West who first settled upon the public lands, for repayment of the money paid for their lands and the cost of their settlement
 On the same day, Congressman Lut- uell of California, introduced a joint resolution authorizing the official pub lica,ion of the decisions of the Interior Department relative to the public lands; which was read a first and sec ond time and ordered 10 be printed.
 On the same day Delegate Kidder of Dakota Territory, introduced bIll to guarantee to the people of the several Territories republican form of govern ment and to secure them in the right of self government; which was read a first and second time, referred to the Committee on Territories, and ordered to be printed. A copy of the bill has not as yet appeared in the newspapers coming to our office It Is one Tn which every citizen of all the Terri tories is deeply interested. Should such bill become a law, it will very likely require the Territories to pay the expenses of their own officers, legislatures, etc, conforming, as far as the bill confers selfgovernment, to State governments

TIE NICE FELLOw.-The nice fel- low flirts and dances to perfection, and is welcome at all entertainments; but then, unfortunately, he is rarely "eligi- ble,' for, if he were, it would not be necessary to pay Tn suitability for social consideration. He is an ideal lover, writes the most romantic letters, takes unheard of journeys to see the beloved one, and cOaxes his mother out of her best jewelry to give in presents. It is chiefly, however, as a married man that the nice fellow is worthy of a moments consideration appearances and reality are so curiously at variance. One constantly hears surprise express ed as to one lady that she can be SO devoted to her husband, who in society is such a stupid bear; while the same observer cannot understand why an other lady seems SO indifferent to her husband who is universally popular. No one intimately acquainted with the private life of the two households would probably feel any such astonish- ment A nice fellow as a husband re- tains his little endearIng ways, parti- cularly in public. He asks his wife if her feet are cold whether it is Sum mer or Winter, wraps her up in the hottest weather, and insists upon her eating when she is not in the least hun gry. So long as poverty does not make itself felt things go smoothly enough. However we'll good looks and a charm ing manner may grease the wheels of society, they are painfully inadequate to smooth away the difficulties of mak- ing both ends meet upon a small in come. The nice fellow is careful fo mix himself up a, little as possible with the vulgar troubles of economical household management.-The Satur- day Review.

Mining suit.

Some of our readers are interested in the McMillen (Arizona) mine. A suit has been commenced at Santa Rosa for a part ownership in this mine, which is related by the Democrat of that city as follows: "The plaintiff Tn the case of James X. Peugh vS James M. Martin, now pending in the Dis trict Court of this county, having serY- ed the necessary notices, is taking the deposition of the defendant, Martin, to be used in the trial of the case. The deposition IS being taken before T. J. Campbell, Notary Public, and is quite lengthy. The plaintiff is represented by Calhoun Benham and J. E. South ard, and the defendant by A. Thomas and X. P. Overton. The plaintiff claims that while in the Territory of Arizona an agreement was entered into with defendant to the effect that both should prospect for mines and that they should be partners in any locations or pur- chases of mines made by either. That the McMillen mine was purchased af- ter this agreement and the plaintiff now invokes the law to put him in as co-partner with defendant in his in- terest in the mine. The defendant de- mes that any such arrangement was made and states that he and Michael TieFney purchased the mine with out the advice or assistance of the plaintiff, and therefore asserts that the plaintiff has no claim either Tn law or equity to any part of the mine.-Yolo Democrat.

ABOUT the middle of last November, a young man by the name of A. F. Chaney left Nevada City between two days, and now his numerous creditors whom he left in the lurch are bewail- ing his sudden disappearance.

BIBLICAL misinterpretation was very forcibly argued by a logical youth that the wealth of Solomon was very much overrated When questioned as to the cause ot this skepticism he an swered that the account distinctly says that he slept with hIs fathers and if he was compelled to do that, and couldn't even afford to have a bed of his own, there must be some error in the inventory of his Orldly goods.
