MICHAEL ANGELO,
ANp his FIRST WORK.

The distinguished painter, sculptor,
and immor,alized architect of ST. Pc
ler's Church at Rome, Michael Angelo
Buonarolti, was born in Tuscany in
1474. lie was put ont TO nurse to the
wife OF Il sculptor, and may therefore
be said TO have sucked sculpture in his
very milk.
lie entered the studio Of Ghiralan-
dajo at thc age OF thirteen, and per-
formed tcats uuequa!ed in the annals
Of art. lie seldom had his work cor
rccted, as his copy always surpassed
the original His master being su-
pelior man himself, and capable OF ap-
p!eclating talent wherever found, en-
courayed his pupil in these develop
mcuts of youthful excellence. Not
so with his companions. They could
not look upon their young rival with
complacency, for genius Of this charac

lad ot thirteen years. Michael ADge

treatment.
Once our youthful artist took occa'
sion to critciso the design OF one Of
his lellow-workmen, and thereupon
he received such blow from the eX.
asperated man, that it broke the cartl
lagc of his nose, from which cause it
renamed crooked through life.
One day Angelo entered the grounds
of the Medici. He there beheld tleas
ures of art, which Lorenzo the Magni
fcent had collected, such as he hal
never beheld before. Struck with
their antique beauty, an instructive
jealousy prompted him, not only to
initiate, but to excel these exquisite
productions. Procuring a block Of
ma, bic, he divested himself OF his out
er garments. and seizing a chisel and
hammer, he began the outlines OF q
fauu's head"
The studio of his former master was
deserted by him, to the no small graf
ilica.ion Of his fellows, who rejoiced
that they were at last rid of their de-
tested and hated rival, whose only
crime consisted in his surprising tai
ent.
One day, as Michael Angelo was
finishing his faun's head, u man OF
about forty, exceedingly plain in feat
ure, and dressed with the greatest
negligence, stopped opposite him, and
silently observed HIM as he worked
Michael Angelo labored with ardor
without taking the slightest notice Of
the unknown, for whom he cared about
as much as for the dust that fell be.

When he had given the finishing
stroke to his work, the young man
drew back, after the manner Of artists
in general, so as better to judge OF the
effect of his performance, with which

Washington, June 2O.-Both Houses of Congress adjourned att A. M. The Prcsi- den signed sundry Civil bills before ad- journment. The customary speeches were made by the presiding officers.
 Berlin, June 20.-The Bulgarian question is again postponed. The powers continue to act in groups, but not necessarily in a hostile sense. Austria and England, from one point of view and Turkey from another, oppose Russia's claims. Germany, France and Italy aGopt a mediatory attitude. There can be little doubt of a thorough understand ing between England and Austria, or of the likelihood of it's continuance during the en- tire deliberations. The Congress has decided to admit Greece with 8 consultative vo,ce in questions affecting Greek interests.

General Crooks View.


 OMAHA. (Ncb.l. June 7.-General Crook Is of opinion that the Idaho Indians may re- quiFe considerable force to subdue them He recently visited that country and took personal observations at the Agencies. In his opinion the principal trouble arose from the fact that the Indians have not had enough food. He attached no blame to the Agents for this, as he thought they had faithfully and honestly distributed the supplies fur nished by the Government; but the fact is, the Government supplies have been short While at the Agencies the Indians depend partly on the game they can kill, there is no game of any account in the vicinity of the Indian Agencies, where the Indians de- pend wholly upon Government supplies. IF proportion to other Agencies, Bannock and other idaho Indians are fed good deal less than the Sioux
 In regard to the reported incursion of Sitting Bull, General Crook says that when he was in Chicago recently, Sitting Bull sent word that he wanted to come back, and that he would come peaceably, but that he got no encouragement The General does not believe the report that Sitting Bull is going on the war-path. and as to the Indians in the Department of the Platte, he thinks they caa be easily held in check.

rr'rom Wednesdays Da,ly.l rhe Affair at GiIIett.

Who killed Col. Taylorl and who hung setwright at Gillettl are matters that VIII be inquired into, we presume, as several citizens of Gillett are here in the custody oi the Sheriff to answer to tine charge before an examining magistrate.
 The hanging of Setwright. so far as we have heard an expression. meets with com mon assent from all sorts of people, and will probably be allowed to pass without much scrutiny. He killed a good, uselui and inoffensive citizen without the leas' cause or proyocation, and the general yer dict of thos. who heard that he was hung was, ..Served him right"
 The shooting of Taylor was quite another matter. and. although he was evidently seeking the reputation of a ''Chief, anu eA' deayoring to make people believe that nc was a great detective, ana sought to nm press upon the people of Gillett the ldea that he was a terror, a master mind, and that A wave of his hand was enough 10 quiet almost any kind of a tumuit, yet he mad been guilty of no overt act, was acting within the sanction of law, and the taking of his life if done Intentionally, was certain
 
 ly murder.
 If. however, during a time of great ex' citcment, when nearly the whole population was enraged and exasperated at the kllilns of their friend without cause, Taylor step ned out and defied them all with shotgun in his hand. as represented by some, ther the case assumes a different phase and par takes more of the character of riot ane the death of Taylor one of Its casualties Wherever the whole population of town is enlisted in cause, it is apt to hav' some merit in it, and if not altogether le9.a according to the books, it is fool-hardy Il any one man to suppose that hls unsuppor1 ed edict is going to sway the masses such time and bring them over to him At any rate, if he attempts 1t he should ex pect to fail, and, in a matter like thls, | take the consequences of his action. l he gets away with it, then indeed Is he man of power and great influence. Ihi was no doubt what Col Taylor sought. bu went at it too rashly and lost his life, no perhaps by any deliberate intention on tn part of any one to murder him, but m tn excitement of the hour, and under stress great anxiety to possess themselves of tn murderer of their friend, in order to dea with him as they felt he deserved.
 All good citizens regret that man lik Col. Taylor, in the prime of life, full of en ergy and capable of doing much good l the world. should meet an untimely deatl and all hope that it was not deliber2t attempt on the part of any one to murde him; but all the regrets of all the worl cannot now bring him back to life, and uu less there is reason to believe that som one or mole persons purposely killed hin it does seem to us useless expenditure time and money to undertake to prosecnt
 the whole village of Gillett for murder
 when we have reason to believe that such
 sentiment as murder never entered thal hearts.

Arizona is attracting large degree of attention at the present time, and from all the information we can gain, bids fair to increase rapidly Tn population and material wealth. The Territory is destined at no very distant day to occupy place in the front ranks as metal producer. The mining developments become more prom inent every day, and promises to make Ari- zona one of the chief metal producers of the world. Some of the most valuable mining property in the United States is situated in the Territory, while new and rich mines are being discovered all the time. As soon as the Territory is made accessible by railroad, there will be large influx of population and capital, when her agricultural and min eral resources will be more rapidly devel. open. At present it is a place where rough. ing il fitly describes the country. But all this will disappear as the railroad opens up the country. Arizona Is the place where the future massive fortunes of this coast are to be made.- Los Angeles Star.

Atthe urgent solicitations of my numerous friends in the Territory, annouce myself as a Candidate for Delegate to Congress, and if elected 1 shall endeavor to do to the best of my ability to protect and enhance the inter- ests of our Territory. We must have rail- roads, increase of Postal facilities, protection from hostile Indians, Mint and United States Assay offices at Prescot. and Florence. Government aid to build roads to our rich mines. and troops to protect our frontier from marauding bands in Mexico. Our motto is UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

We have never con- sistently carried out our Republican princi- pies. Wemust expunge certain men from the councils of our Nation.

 The Enterprise accuses Hardy of whining It is no. at the decision of the people, but at,what was done after the canvass, that Hardy complains.
 MT. Marion thinks that the Territory was benefited by the counting out, and seems to justify the act. The fact is with Marion Il makes grand difference in the eyes of the law whether Democrat or Republican get: counted out i Honesty and fair play is jewel even ID | Arizona politics.

 MR.J. NJ. DoDsoN :-Dear Sir: From Pres colt papers lately received we learn that the body of our brother, James s. Giles, was most kindly cared for, and carefully laid away in its last resting place by friends, fo whom, in life he was connected by no ties save that of friendship, and the hearts of an aged grief stricken mother, of a brother and sister. go out in gratitude. and thanks, to all those who cared enough for him in lite, to remember him in death. It is a source of much comfort to us, who loved him so dearly, to know he died amongst friends Poor James, ever restless, ever wandering, he found no place he liked as well as Pres colt, no people he liked so well as Prescott's people, though at times his heart must have yearned for his old home, and familiar face' of friends who now mourn his untimeiy fate A cruel fate 1t was that decreed that he should die all alone, with no one near to give him help that might have saved his life Surely he, nor no one els i, thought death so near. To us it was a terrible shock, his last letters were bright, and cheerful, containing no word of sickness.
 I write to you, Mr. Dodson, because it was at your home he died, and having known him in Kansas City, YOU must have been an old, and valued friend. Please ex- tend our thanks to all those who so kindly bestowed the highly appreciated care, and attention, and performed for our dear brother James, the last sad rites. May God be ever kind, and merciful to them all, is the prayer of his sorrowing sister.

The ''lawyer editor of the MINER would respectfully inform the Saki editor of the Enterprise, that Heading lawyers nor any other persons dictate the course we shall pursue. We will leave it to the entire bar of Prescott, however, whether or no our proposition on the proper course to have been pursued in the case of Swilling and Kirby was not a correct one. As to the in situation of the visionary, changeable being who tries to make capital out of nothing- that we expected to get some cash or property" is too ridiculous, low and con. temptible to justify us in answering, when the Saki knows, if he knows anything, al all, that we have been contributing, with other benevolent persons of Prescott (En- terprise man excluded), to the support oi the family or Swilling.
