WHITE KID GLOVES IN CoURT.-The
court opened for Georgetown, March II,
his Honor Judge T. j. Mackey presid-
ing, 1.-THE first time in this county Solic-
itor NJ. J. Hirsch was promptly at his
post. Several bills for hog stealing, riot,
selingliquor without license, Crane larce.,
ny, horse stealing, &C., eresubmitted and
returned into court with an entry upon
most of them of "No bill" AT 3 o'clock
p. m. the grand jury were discharged af:
ter making their final presentment, and
the criminal side of the court was closed
for the want of business.
In the annals of Georgetown County,
all proceedings being regular, this is the
first time that the court has been held
and not single case tried. 1t speaks
we'll for the county and deserves more
than passing notice. In commemora-
ton of the event, in following out the
custom practiced in England for many
centuries, the Solicitor, in few appro-
pirate remarks, presented pair of white
kid gloves, emblematic of peace and
good order, to the court, on behalf of the
high Sheriff of the county. Judge
Mackey, on receiving the same, spoke in
glowing terns of the present peaceful
condition of the county as compared with
times past when the fires of civilization
had been almost extinguished. He con-
graduated the county, and hoped the
succeeding presiding judges would in
like manner be so fortunate as to be en-
abled to receive a similar symbol. Cor.

AR1zoNA's STONE WELLs.-A won
derful place is Tinajas, about thirty miles
southeast of Mission Camp. The noun
tans have one face of hard, smooth gram
lite. All the water falling upon this
basin has to flow through nine tanks,
one above tho other. The lower tanks
are of easy access and are often drained
of their contents by men and animals
travelling between Yuma and Sonora.
The upper tanks are approached.only by
circuitious and. difficult climbing over
rocks. To one standing below they afford
no indication oftheir existence, nor does
climbing the smooth, steep mountain side
sem possible to one unacquaniled with the
way to do it. In the upper tanks water
has never been known to fail. To this
water comes game of all kinds in great
numbers from the great waterlesu coun-
try around Tinajas. Antelope, noun
tain 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 void be thinned out by the Paga-
go inhabit, who inhabit the country
But these Indians are superstitious and
avoid Tinajas with abject horror. With
in two miles of this water are certainly
$50 graves, and probaly more, each
marked by rows of stones laid in the
form of cross. Scores of men famished
for water have expended their last
strength in reaching Tinajas, only to
find the lower tanks dry, and, ignoranis
of the upper ones have lain down in des-
pair to die. The remains have been
buried by later travellers, and the graves
marked, Mexican fashion, by cross
of stones. During the rush 10 tho gold
fields OF California, cholera attacked
travellers on the road from Mexico, as it
did American migrant along the Platte;
pest;lence combined with thirst to gather
corpses at Tinajas. Recollections Of
bleaching bones and grinning skulls pro.
tect the game from Papago arrows and
flint-rocks. After passing through its
usual fermentation, the water becomes
clear and pure as any in the world. 1t
comes from the clouds only, and flowing
into the tanks over insolubl0 granite, it
carries no mineral matter. Every heavy
rain pours whirling torrent through
the tanks, washing them out to the very
bottom,

The Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON, March 10.
The following is the Presidents mes,

WASHINGTON, March 10.
The following is the Presidents mes
sage:
Fellow- Citizens of the Senate and House
Of Representatives: The failure of the
last Congress to make the requisite ap-
preparation for legislative and judicial
purposes, for the expenses of the several
executive departments ofthe government,
and for the support of the army, has
made it necessary to call special ses-
sion of the 46th Congress. The estimates
of the appropriations needed, which were
sent to Congress by the Secretary of the
Treasury at the opening of the last ses.
sion,, are renewed and are herewith
transmitted to both the Senate and the
House of Representatives. Regretting
the existence Of the emergency which
requires special session of Congress at
time when it is the general judgment
of the country that the public welfare
will be best promoted by permanency in
our legislation and by peace and rest, /
commend these few necessary measures
to your considerate attention.
(Signed,) RUTHERFORD B. HAYES.
WASHINGTON, March l9, 1879.
Accompanying the message are esti-
mates from the Secretary of the Treasury
of the money needed for the army and
the legislative, executive and judicial
branches of the government. The esti-
mates are the same as those submitted
at the opening of the session, with the
exception of the items provided for at
that session. Under the army bill the
last Congress made provision for the mil
itary academy at West Point and for for
tifcatiOns and armament. This leaves,
according to estimates, sos, $40, 500 yet to
be appropriated for the support and
maintenance of that branch. None of
the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparations were provided for even in
part. The estimate for these expenses is
$16,520,9Ol, 81. To these appropriations
is also to be added the item for court e1-
penses, which is generally placed in the
sundry civil bill, but which was left out
of that bill, at the last session. The
estimate for these expenses is $3,O0O,-
900.

WHAT'S ONE BULLET TO A BASKET
FuL?-An incident occurred'in the bat
tie of Franklin, which I have never seen
in print. That sanguinary battle was at
its height, and now and then there was a
soldier who would not face the music,
and, holding to the idea that distance
lends enchantment," on all such occasions
would exhibit his faith in the idea, by
taking "leg bail" for the rear. These
cases were getting too numerous toward
the close ofthe battle, and Col. B, A.
A. G. of our brigade, was sent back to
the rear to intercept those seeking for
safety, and return them to their respec-
tive posts of duty.
Col. B said he hailed one fellow,
who was making tracks for some place of
safety, with all the energy ofdespair.
"Halt l say, aud return to your COM
mandw
The flying son of Mars took no notice
of the command.
"Halt II say, and go back to your post" J"
The soldier paid no attention to him.
The Colonel now became exasperated
and yelled out:
eff you don't go back to yonr COM
mand 1 will shoot you, sir"
Without pausing in his flight, the SOL
dier yelled back at him:
"Shoot and be hanged What's one
bullet to basketful ?"
Col. B. let him 60, and after the
battle told the incident as good joke.
