4 True Snake story.

There 10 in almost ali human beings
. an at least occasional desire 10 hear q
or 20 read something startling. horn
BILE. Whist il bad ID noissd abOut, and
newspapers and social circles ell have
much to cay about i; but goodness,
like the sunshine. goes quietly through
the world. In order to give nv read
ers something startling. 1 will give
them . true, yet horrible story.
Snakes, IN Brazil, as IN all tropical
countries, grow to an enormous size,
and have great muscular strength it Is
seldom you hear of one attacking q
man. and the natives are generally vii
ling to encounter the largest. There was
an exception In the case OF Ascencao
lgnacio da Silva. He vas q quiet,
peaceable person, beloved and respect
ed by all Who knew him. Ii is custom
airy In that summary land for those liv-
ing near streams TO bathe in their
margin, and numerous little dressing
rooms are seen on the banks rude!y
constructed for the purpose. One
Sabbath morning, when the clear sky
and bright sun we're beginning to be
inviting, Ascencao, who, with his wife
and little son Ia boy OF five summers)
lived on the banks of the beautiful Rio
N, requested his wife to bring the
boy and they would 60 and battle.
When they reached the stream, Ascen-
Gao took the chid's hand, requesting
Phillipa to take the other and enter.
PhilliPa stopped, and, pulling the
child back, pointed in alarm to large
snake that was swimming down the
river toward them. He laughed at her
fears and plunged into the waves, Phil
lipa watching with nervous dread.
Presently Ascencao gave terrible
scream and sprsng high into the air,
when oh, horrible there was his man
~ form completely entwined by the
fierce monster he had encountered, its
head above his, with its great mouth
open, its tongue out as if defying re.
sistapce. ..'t
The eyes OF the unfortunate man
seemed projecting from their sockets !;
his hands were extended toward Phil.
lipa, as if for aid. The poor woman
screamed in agony for help. Her hus-
band quickly disappeared once again
he arose, but this time there was no
sound |; he sank, and Phillipa noticed q
disturbed state of the waters for few
moments. Then all was apparently
over the great ripping stream flowed
on with only crimson streak on it's
silvery foam, showing where a life had
gone out forever.
All efforts to recover the body were
unavailing. Ascencao had been crush
ed by the loathsome object he had
scorned, and there is no doubt that had
he been prepared for the attack he
would have conquered ; but being off
his guard and unarmed, he could give
no resistance. His poor widow and or
phan still live upon the bank of the
Rio NJ, to point out the spot and
tell the sad story Warerley. l..., @

THE BEST soap for toilet ma
ever manufactured. BEST because
1t contains all the excellencice of
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without THEIR de-
fects. BEST because Il combines
strength with delicacy in such a
way that its strong defensive quail
ties do not iniure the skin. BEST
because IL is the result Of years of
study and experiment in the SOAP
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains inGredi-
ents beneficial to the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such q manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-.
facture knows that some ingredi.
ents which are in themselves bene-
6cial to the akin cannot be, saponi-
fed; some are partially neutraliSed,
while others injure the quality of
the soap. There are soaps in the
market which. are TO some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all the best elements Of
toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to the akin. , Z

4 Bullion Club.

The old Gold Exchange in New York has passed away before the on- coming of resumption, and new in stitution has risen from ts ruins and will probably absorb its erergy. There is now in existence there a Mining Exchange for stock dealings, and we believe it has been decided to admit approved mining stocks to the regular stock board. But Pacific Coast expe- rience tells that only fewof the spec ulative stocks will ever reach those boards, leaving the great lndercurrent of mining interests to be dealt in out side. And thus far abcut the only mining stocks to the New York boards have been those of companies upon properties in the Southern States-Vir- ginia. the Carolinas, Georgia, &c., &c. Now, however, there is to be new departure, and the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Coast stocks and properties are to get more attention as they de- serve; for, as has been often said, min ing matters are taking a more advanced financial position every day. And here comes the new organization which Is to be called the Bullion Club, whose intentions are defined to be the cOllec- ton and dissemination of mining in- formation of every kind from and to the prospector, the capitalist ard the worker in precious metals. The fea- ture of greatest interes. to us in the mining field is the proposition made by the Club to act as an examiner of mining property, and as 8 kind of sponsor for, or censor of various prop critics as they may appear to be good or bad, for the purposes of investment and development l. will act as in vestigator, reporter and broker, main taining constant correspondence with all sections where there are mining in terests; and will deal both in stocks and claims.
 Our miners will see at a glance, what advantages and what dangers may flow from such an organization. II must profess to act fairly upon all mat ters intrusted to it, depending upon earned commissions forit profit; and if it hew to that line, twill be a wei come mediator between he mine own CT and the capitalist, saving great out

4 Mistake.

In Paris, the other day, young la dy went into one of the great drapery houses to shop with her maid They keep watchers there, and one of these, making smo he nad seeu someuHiug, presently tapped the young lady on the shoulder and asked her to follow her to the searching room, You have just put a pair of new gloves in your pocket, mademoiselle: don't deny It' |" know I have" said the young lady, quietly; "and if you will be good enough to look inside them you will see that, as they were bought at anoth- CT house, they could have hardly been stolen from this" That was sO,n as our cousins say The watcher had simple made mistake, and he and the entire gang of searcherS began to grovel in excuses. Now" said the young lady, turning 10 her maid, go to the nearest Commissary of Police and tell him that the daughter of Prince Orlof requires his protection" It was the very awkwardest of blunders; her father was the Russian Ambassador. The contrite drapery company IS ot- fering thousands to hush it up,

4 BurIed City.

Only a few short weeks since and this Territory was proud to own a Capital, with full outfit of officials. and a legislature of great ability and statesmanship. But something seems to have yawned and swallowed up our dear Prescott and all its precious con tents, including the telegraph man. The wire might have gone down with dear P and connection been kept up; but we fear the wire has been burned of, as no tick can be got from there wherever :here is. We should like to know of many things-whether there is to be mineralogist, @ statis- ticiau, an-all the rest of them; what was the vote on the Fourteen Divorces Bill; whether there was an adjourn ment sine die. Not enc seems to re- main to tell this tale But, most of all, was there any thing left in P to drink; or did she go down with her tongue unmoistened? We presume there will be no trouble now in nov ing the Capital: the only question will be where it shall stop. Phenix is a mere Indian Reservati on. Florence is too immoral, and would endanger our future legislature. Yuma has the penl- tentiary and the editor of the Sentinel, and should be content. Tucson has too much business of importance; it can't be bothered with small matters. Perhaps MaricOpaville might be in duced. We suggest Maricopaville. The king is deadi Long live the king But, alas Prescott. We never shall look upon thy like again.

 We might add that a vigorous effort has been made by the Ctficers of this company to secure a complete mill for their business, with stamps of great crushing power and peculiar drops. We understand that the mill Is already in successful operation. The first big run was reported about a week ago, but the cleanup has not yet been made; this will no doubt require con- siderable time. The Managing Direct or has made numerous assays of the tailincs and finds that the company IS not loosing much valuable material

Advice to Pilgrims.

When thou cometh into the chief city, beware of them that offer thee prices, and say unto thee, To, when thou hast bought of Us for 20 broad pieces of silver we will return one again unto thee; for verify these men seek thy last shekel
 Shun him who sayeth come, buy of us at less than cost, for the truth is noi in him and thou wilt waste thy sub stance upon him, aud thou and all thy household come to want. Beware of him who sayeth, To, 1 am smarter than thou, for pay Gut 50 and %, yea, even but 10 pence for my goods, flee from him as thou wOuldst from himwhO seeketh whom he may deyour
 But when thou buyest thy merchan disc seek those whom thou knOwest have dealt honorably, yea, call upon them who pay an hundred pence for all their goods: pay the shekels of gold and of silver to him who chargeth thee a small profit, for it is written that no man laboreth for naught.-Ex- phaDpp

Arrest Of Or. W z. Smith.

Says the San Francisco Bulletin of the 18th instant:
 Yesterday afternoon Dr. ". F. Smith was arrested on warrant issued from the City Criminal Court, charging him with living in open adultery with An nie Carpenter from the l4th of Febru- ary, 1877, to this date. Dr. Smith is the person in whose interest a divorce bill was lObbled through the Arizona Legislature The charge of adultery covers four days of his alleged mar lriage with Miss Carpenter. In the City Criminal Court today Dr. Smith pleaded not guilty.
 At an earlier date and during the pendency of the Smith divorce bill al Prescott, the Bulletin said in this con nection:
 But it's chivalrous Governor is not likely 10 permit such a stain to be cast on lhe Territory over which be pre- sides. If the attention of Governor Fremont is called to it in time, there is no probability that such line of doubtful policy will be pursued with his consent.
 Like THE CITIZEN, the Bulletin will be keenly pained to learn that Arizo- mas chivalrous Governor has per. mitted just "such a stain to be cast ln "the Territory over which he presides' ''

Late Washington dispatches state that it is believed there by many that the Southern managers of plans for subsidizing the Pacific Railroad, (thir- ty-second psralleD have injured their prospects by an alliance with the Penn sylvania railroad magnates They say if the Texas-Pacifc were a genuine Southern enterprise, designed to dis tribute traffic to Southern cities, il might, in the present temper of Con- gress and the country toward the Union and Central Companies, be favorably considered; but there is no guarantee that this will be done while the controlling interests remains with the Pennsylvania railroadists,

More About the Southern Pacific.

In our issue last week we referred to New York telegram which rumored an intention on the part of the South. ern Pacific Company 10 bend their road south from the present surveyed route and run nearer the Mexico line The Nevada Enterprise publishes the following article concerning the same dispatch:
 The Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany have always advertised their east ern terminus to be El Paso. We be- lieve they now have in New Mexico one of their most accomplished en. gineers to lay out the best route for a road to that point E. Paso IS just over the line in the State of Chihuahua, at the point where the Rio Grande commences 10 be the boundary be- tween the United States and Mexico A Texan railroad company is strain ing to reach that point from the east Upon the completion of the two roads there would be direct railroa1 connec- ticn between San Francisco and New Orleans. At the same time, the AL chlson, Topeka and Rio Grande road has entered New Mexico and is ex- pected to connect with the Southern Pacific somewhere in that Territory The Southern Pacific people want, and mean to have, the controlof the carry ing trade of Arlzona and New Mexico, and, despite the New York rumor, will doubtless straln every energy to make their connections W tn the Texan road to Fl Paso, and wIh the road from St. Louis as far eaz as possible Tubac is not in Mex co, Iut ln South ern Arizona, near the Sonora line, and on the route from Guaynns to Tucson. \ branch road from Tucson seventy miles long would reach Tubac, and when the through line is completed it would be very much like the Southern Pacific Company 10 gather m the Quay mas and Tucson road. as il would be a short road through rich country, and with Q southern terminus a one of the finest and most commanding harbors in the world This is the m(re probable because, with that short Dad of less than 300 miles in opposition hands, the monopoly of Arizona would be i'm possible, and the Southern Pacific greatly desire that monopoly We do not believe, either, tha with the through route secured, ard with the trunk line to Guaymas completed, all the dreams of the California railroad men would be realized. Ayear or two since, talking to a reporter, Leland Stanford expressed the belief that with in a very few years trans of cars would enter San Francisco direct from the City of Mexico. From Ei Paso to -s, cs. -..--y .2S l!f-JfIl>~ ic ittet 1000 miles-an easy route for railroad building over the table lands, and through the very heart of the wealth and population of Mexico. Tine Mex ican Government has already offered any company which will build thls road a subsidy abou suficien to bUild it. and that is a proposition which the California COmpany always take kind ly to. Our belief is that when NIT. Staaf, I'd expressed the belief that he would live to see ears arrive in San Francisco direct from the City of Mex ico, he had also belief that those cars would be marked IS. F. R. K.
