Some of the cabinet decline tn visit Foster. Geo. <. Bow en of Chicago says Foster nuriurcs q policy for the acquisition by inc United States of q portion of Mexico north of the twcnty-sixth parallel, and is interested in the international rail way. Bowen thinks the visit of the American delegation to Mexico will result in securing a peace policy, mak- ing it impossible for any political fac ton to raise the question of war with Mexico.

NEW RAILROAD SCHEME.

X dispatch from Prescott, pub lishcd in another column, informs us that MT. Gray has introduced in the legislature, bill for railroad from Maricopa Wells to Prescott. Tie mcagre information contained in the dispatch leaves us in doubt as to what route the proposed road is to take, but informs us that for every mile constructed in Maricopa county, the people of said county are to give any organized railroad company the sum of three thousand dollars per mile for construction. The diSnatch does not state whether this amount i> payable out of the territorial fund or that of the county of Maricopa. Until WIG learn something definite of the provisions of this bill, we must wi.hold our assent to any proposition of the kind That we need Tai,- road to bring lis in close connection with the great business ccntCrs, is patent to every one in this valley, but our necessities in that direction are not so urgent that we should involve ourselves in greater indebtedness to help Prescott to get a road 10 that mountain town. The sum mentioned to be given as a subsidy would be as q drop in the bucket compared with the cost of building a road through mountainous country such as exists between this city and Prescott, and We firmly believe the cXigcncics of business does not demand this out lay, for the present at least. While the HERALD has at all times favored enterprises of this nature. that they might be the means of greatly devcl- oping our county, yet we do not pro pose to countcnance any scheme that will involve the people of Maricopa in an indebtedness which will burden them down and take years to liqui! date, in order that remote and isolated neighborhood may be beuc- fitted.

THE Ner York Herold's Washing

THE Ner YorL, HeHld's Washing ton special says of the late democrat ic family fight" The real cause oi the quarrel in the democratic campis not. alter all, the war claims. The Southern discomfort, winch is SO wide. spread and deep thst democratic alarm about it would be eXcusahle ii il were not part of the whole absurd and impossible political situation here, arises out of the urgent and ire prcsS:ble desire in the South for large appropriations for internal improve ments and subsidies. Southern dem ocrats imagine that their section of couhtry is exceptionally poor, and they would like it to bc made prosper ous jy q large shower of government money. TScy SIC that they get no sympathy from Northern democrats, in this matter who have vers persist ently and effectively kept guard over the treasury, and have resisted the persuasion and threats of Southern men until, as in General Bragg's case, they are losing their temper.

 ThE pension arrears bill has be come law of the land, and il appears that there is growing feeling of alarm at Washington in respect to its probable effects. Nobody knows how much money it will require; but all see that it must establish a very seri- Ous drain upon the treasury. No ap- prupriation has yet heen made to meet it; and it is going to be a serious question how the necessary funds are 10 be secured. One journal, the Chi cago Tribune, estimates that it will re- quire no less than $2J0, 0,000,000, from first to last. If It does it will have to be regarded aSQuarely communistic measure, for dividing the property of the nation. For it will neccSSitate largely increased taxation; and as it contains lro adequate provisions against fraud, it will be availed of h; im2ostors to m indefinite extent

wrought out in all SCOTS prose more ex-
ouisite than the contrast between the RI
walls for the heroine" Six years AFTER
ward Scott wrote thus to Miss Edgeworth:
matilda was attempted for the person
of lady who is no more, so that | am
flattered with your distinguishing It,"
As this took place nearly twenty years
after the disappointment, 1t illustrates
the tenacity with which the author held
to his first love. When Lady Forbes
died, Scott was so affected that he called
on her mother, and both fell to weeping
over the sad affair. 1t Is curious Incl
dent in domestic history to see a man
carrying his first love 30 tenderly through
life, while married to another woman to
whom he showed great attachment.
Scott evidently made Matilda the ideal
or dream wife who accompanied him to
the last Having recovered from the
worst effects of his disappointment, he
met French girl whose father had saw
ed both life and fortune by fleeing from
the dangers of the revolution. AT the
time referred to Miss Carpenter was an
orphan, and to her Scott transferred his
affections as far as this was possible. He
appeared, as has been said, much attach
ed to his wife through life, and sincerely
mourned her death. She was, however,
intellectually and physically inferior to
the Scottish ladies' of the day, and the
rapid degeneracy Of the family may in
some degree be ascribed to so unfavora-
BILE union.-N, Y, Cor. Troy Times.

THE CLEAN NEWSPAPER.

There is a growing feeling in every
healthy community against the journals
which make it their special object to
minister to perverted taste, seeking out
and serving up in a seductive form, dis
gusting scandals and licentious revela-
tions. There is good reason to believe
that the clean newspaper is more liked
to-day than it was four or FIVE years ago.
1t is also safe to predict that as people in
all ranks of life, who protect their own,
at least, from contamination, become
conscious of the perniCious influence of
certain class of journals, called enter
prising, because they are ambitious to
serve up dirty scandals they are careful
to see that the journals they permit to
be read in the family circle are of the
class that never forget the proprieties of
life. Already men and women of heal
thy morals and refinement have had
their attention called to the pernicious
influence of bad literature, and have
made commendable efforts to Counteract
the same by causing sound literature to
be published and sold at popular prices.
These efforts are working silent but
sure revolution. The best authors are
more generally read to-day than at any
previous time. The sickly sentimental
story books are slowly yielding the field
to worthier claimants. To the praise Of
the decent newspaper, it may be said,
that where it has place in the family,
and has been read by young and old, it
has developed such healthy tone, and
such discriminating taste, that the lit
erature of the slums has no admirers.
Fortunately, the number of such famil-
les is increasing in the land, and as they
increase, the journal that devotes itself
to sickening revelations Of immortality
will be compelled to find its supporters
solely among those classes who practice
vice or crime, or are ambitious to learn
to follow such ways.

A HIGH PRICED MISTAKE.
How PIttsburg Man BIundered In Matter Of
Bullion,

Two miners sat down in the wilder
ness of Southern Utah a few months
since to MUNICH their bread and then pur-
sue Itheir wanderings and their search
for wealth. They were "prospectors"
who, having left the beaten track Of
treasure-seekers, wandered off, to the
amusement of their fellows, into the
comparatively level country, where
months of searching had revealed moth
ing,
"We had better get back into the
mountain country, Jim" said his 'pard."
AS he spoke his tool struck something
a few inches under the sand, and the
prospector found fracture on the rocks
and picked up a small, yellowish piece
of stone.

with what feverish earnestness his
"pard" examined the piece.

They were out of provisions and
clothes they had not the means with
which to pay the fee for securing their
"fnd." After opening up their prize
sufficiently to show thata vein of ore ex
listed, they offered it to Mr.. Ben Morgan
of Pittsburg, who is operating smelling
works few miles below Salt Lake City,

worth risking the money on. The mi.
ners continued to open their vein, but
soon again were stranded, when one of
them wrote to two Irish friends, who
had already lost money on supposed
finds" and besought them to try their
luck once more. After much importun-
ing they invested enough money to give
the miners good start, when the devel-
opment of the mine proceeded rapidly.
Four shafts were sunk and number Of
intermediate galleries run which con.
nected the shafts. The work was pushed
solely with a view to show the magni-
tude of the deposit. 1t was the marvel
Of the whole country. Conservative old
engineers measured the ore.bodies actu.

and made numerous analyses in all parts
