The misunderstanding Quarrel.

Burnside mumbled his words so at first
that few could hear what he was saying.
Conkling. in particular, appeared anxious
to hear what Burnside was saying. He
crossed over very near HIM and sand, In a
slightly arrogant way What do you
say ! | don't understand you" Burn
side flushed as red as a turkey cock, think
ing Conkling was desirous of interupting
him, and abruptly raised his right hand,
waving off Conkling as he said: Il de-
cline to yield | decline to allow you to
say word, sir, until L have finished what
am saying" His manner was the height
of discGurtesy, and Conkling returned ab-
ruptly to his seat and waited until Burn
side sat down. Then Conkling stood up,
and Immediately the Senators turned their
attention to him. A few crossed over to
seats near him. Mr.. Conkling WAS per-
fectly cool and self-possessed. His man
ner did not betray the slightest lrritabil-
ity. In his most sarcastic tones he said
he has generally believed that the Sena-
tors observed in their ordinary usage the
courtesy that was due between gentle
men. 1t was subject of heartfelt regret
with hlm that the Senator from Rhode
Island had forgotten to use even the cour-
tesy of a gentleman, however much of a
struggle il might have been over his ordl-
nary nature He had approached the rep
resentative of the proud, cultivated intel
lect of Rhode Island with what he had
thought was the proper amount of defer
enee The gifted Senator S discourse was
uttered in that key that had made his val
ued rutterances unintelligible to his pa
tient admirers. He, the humblest of his
admirers, had presumed TO tlmidly ask
what train of though or what statement
of fact had been presented by the gifted
Senator, and when repealed by boorish
brutality, he could but charitably hope
that the gifted Senator was not really HIM
self. He would say further that the
gifted Senator from Rhode Island was as
much mistaken in his assertion of facts
as he was in his lack of manners He
had asked, IN season and ont Of it, that
this nomination be postponed and 1t had
been out Of pure courtesy to the gifted
Senator that the postponement had been
made. Such talk as this aggravated
Burnside nearly into fit of womanly
Mysteries He flushed, stammerec, hawed
and hemmed, and the moment Conkling
sat down he was promptly upon his feet.
Conkliag had been very careful in his Ian
suage to keep entirely within parlimen-
tary bounds Burnside completely lost
control of himself, and at once got raped
across the knuckles by the Chair, who
called him 20 order. Burnside screamed
with anger as he asserted that Conklins
had said what was not true. He did not
give the lie direct, but So plainly inslnu-
atcd it that Hoar called hun to order.
Cunkling paid no sort Of attention to

Arilona's Stone Wells.

\ wonderful place is Tinajas, about
thirty miles southeast of Mission Camp.
The mountains have one face of hard,
smooth granite. All the water falling up-
on this basin has to flow through nine
tanks, one above the other. The lower
tanks are Of easy access and are often
drained of their contents by men and ami
mails travelling between Yuma and Sonora.
The upper tanks are approached only by
clrcuitons and difficulty climbing over
rocks. To one standing below they afford
NJ indication Of their existence, nor does
climbing the smooth, steep mountain side
seem possible to one unacquainted with
the way to do IL In the upper tanks
water has never been known to fail. To
this water comes game OF all kinds III
great numbers from the great waterless
country around Tinajas. Antelope,
mountain sheep, and deer of several
kinds, come in herds Rabbits and hares
are as plenty as anywhere, and are prey
for many coyotes and beautiful little rock
foxes One would think that all this
game would be thinned out 10y the Papa
go Indians, who inhabit the country
But these Indians are superstitious and
avoid Tinajas with apjecJ horror. With
in two miles of this water are certainly
l50 graves, and probably more, each
| marked by rows of stones lain in the
! form of a cross. Scores of men famlshed
for water have expended their last
strength in reaching Tnajas, only to ind
the lower tanks dry, and, ignorant of the
upper ones, have lain down in despair t"
| die. The remains have been buried by
| later travellers, and the graves marked,
Mexican fashion, by cross of stones.
During the rush To the gold fields of Cali
/ fornia, cholera attacked travellers on the
road from Mexico, rs 1t did American
travellers along the Platte; pestllence
| combined with thirst to gather corpses at
Tmaias RecollectionS Of bleaching bones
and grinning skulls protect the game from

passin" through it's usual fermentation,
tx water becomes clear and pure as any
in the world 1t comes from the clio uds
only and flowing into the tanks over IN
soluble granite, II carries no mineral mat
ter. Every heavy ram pours torrent
through the tanks, washing them out to
the very bottom No organic matter
STAYS behind. The number and variety
of birds here is marvellous, many of them
appearing to be of new and undescribed
species. At morning and evening the din
Of their songs, confined by the sides of
the mountains, is almost deafcning. All
around Tinajas is the remarkable veseta-
ton of the desert near It's tanks are
many and curious plants, nourished by
their moisture The place is one of much
interest. t.-Ari-ORd Sentinel.

for years. They were got mostly by hex

TUE SPARK OF WAR.

Frrope is in for some trouble widen
Nv. Baron Won Horst, the minister OF
national defense of Austro-H hungary
sounded another alarm at the meeting
of the reichsrath on Wednesday last.
The army bill was the subject under
discussion, and the opposition to the
government preached economy in the
matter Of defenses. This brought Won
Horst to his feet and he said most sig
niicantly: 1.-THE government could
not economic to an extent that would
weaken the military power Of the en-
pire. The people themselves instinc-
lively feel the approach of events Of
great import, and don't wish the gov
eminent to be taken by surprise"
From all of which 1t is inferable that
the peace of Europe is not assured, to
put it in its mildest form. All the
nations are arming secretly and prepar-
ing works of defense openly. Austria
is strengthening Notifications on the
Italian; Russian and Servian frontiers.
Germany is busy On the Russian and
French frontiers. France is bolstering
up in one direction only-the German
frontier. Russia is fortifying hei
German and Austrian frontiers. There
is thus general preparation for defense
Distrust prevails among them all. The
spark Of war now lowering over Europe
may drop into the magazine Of Jealousy
and ~precipitate a conflict, compared
with which the Russo Turkish wal was
a skirmish.

of thousands of patrons, in various
sums, into one immense amount, and
operate them as a mighty whole, thus
obtaining all the advantages of the
largest capitalist and best skill. Profits
are distributed pro rata among share
holders every month. In this way
large gains are secured in short periods,
and capital from $40 or SIS to $50, 000
can be used with equal proportionate
success. $50 will make 300 in 80 days.

THE CANADIAN CHEATS.

Our readers will remember that a
short time since Lord B~eaconsfield, the
very first man in the government OF
Great Britain made the startlinglr)
statement in a post prandial speech
that immigration would in a few years
be directed from the United States to
British America. His lordship's ere
dulity had been opposed upon by the
emigration agents sent out by the do
minion government. These agents
were to work on two points, viz, the
assistance of the imperial government
in the Canadian Pacific railway scheme
and the emigration Of Englishmen TO
British America.
1 In furtherance of their trust they
gave Beaconsfeld the '~'stiff' that the
fields along the proposed line of rail
way would prove to be the great wheat
producing region of North America.
Only a railroad is needed to have the
farms settled and farmers from all
over the United States would rush
thither. Beaconsheld was beguiled and
believing the story, promised the aid OF
the government in building the Cana
dian Pacific. Had not Beaconsfield
given himself away" in the speech
above referred to, the aid of the imper-
ial government might have been given
to an unlimited extent. But public
inquiry was aroused, the cheat of the
dominion agents discovered and exposed
and the promised aid will not be
given.
These same agents are now out OF
favor at home. BY their misrepresen-
tation they have cnticed q lot of inno-
cent people to Canada, who are now
billeted upon the public as acts of
charity. Cheating is the principal
qualification Of these agents. After
imposing on tile premier they did not
refrain from making misrepresentation
10 the masses. Their whole work is
based upon fraud.
The Canadian government cannot
| hope to succeed in inducing immigra-
tionto its fields by unjust and %reprchen-
sible means. The fact will be advertised
and become known all over Europe,
and poor, uususpecting people prevent
ed from going to a region which is nlled
up to as great a degree rs it n stand
with comfort to the present popula-
ton

rncts of the Ute War

1t is rightfully believed that the cir
cumstances of the Ute outbreak will be
largely used at this session of congress
to further the attempt to have the care
of the Indians transferred from the in
terror department to the war depart
ment. The points that can be used are
strong ones.
First, That the Indians left the res
| ervation last summer and destroyed
timber and grass upon the public do
main; that this was reported to the
interior department and nothing done
about it.
Second, That arms, ammunition and
spirits were sold to the Indians by trad
ers, and the agents report to this effect
was pigeon-holed.
Third, That five weeks before the
outbreak the agent was assaulted in his
own house; and reported that his life
was in danger. No steps by the depart
ment.
Fourth, That only at the urgent re-
quest of Col. Steele were troops sent for
ward.
Fifth, That over two months have
passed since the murder of the govern
ment employees and troops, and yet not
a single Indian has been punished, or
even put under arrest.
None of these facts can be denied,
