Resources in Arizona.

Alphonso Pinart, French scien- tist, has spent the greater part of the last four or five years on the Pacific Coast. He is sometimes heard of in Alaska, then on Vancouver's Island, then in Sonora or Arizona, and occa- sionally up and down the coast of this State Wherever there is strange.looking mound M- Pinart looks into it, exhumcs skeletons
 measures skulls, collects stone in-- plemcnts, and leaves nothing undone to get at the ultimate facts about ex- tiact people. The mounds of the Pacific coast are now read by him as an open book. In Sonora and Ari- zona he made drawings of all the more important Aztec rnjns, and transcripts of all the sculptured rocks. He lived among. tribes Of h. dians in order to study their language. and was able to make collections containing over thousand words, which is a very extensive range for

an Indian language. Ethnology, philology, geology, mineralogy and physical geography are the principal departments which engage this sa- wants attention. Many tons of speci- mems, skeletons. skulls, implements and so on, have been sent by him to Paris. Now and then NJ. Pinart makes nasty trip to that city to superintend the publication in French ot his investigations, which are all printed under the patronage If ere or more of the scientific societies Of esat civ. This savant pursues his investigations in an independent, sort of a way, going and coming as best suits his convenience, and hay. ing sufficient wealth to make the ex- pense matter of little consequence Probably, no scientific man has ever made so wide rangeof investigations on this coast in a more quiet way than has NJ. Pinart. His researches during the coming winter will prob ably be prosecuted in Arizona and Sonora. A friend of the savant hay. ing inquired of him thesorigin and meaning of the word Arizona" he made the following memorandum, a CODY of which M. Pinart has kind ly furnished for this paper.
 The name of Arizona" or 'El Arizona" was originally to Real de Nincs, near the headwaters of the Rio del Aquimari, the larger branch of the Rio del Alter, at the entrance of the CsRon del Irfe,no, some twelve miles to the southwest of the celebrated mines of the Pldnctds de Plato. It is now but rancho, al though remains of the former build ings are still to be met with. This place was for long time the extreme north point attained by the conquest of the Spaniards, and the name Ari- zona often given to the country thereabout. In the early part of the last century tho country to the north ward. toward the Rio Gila and Rio Santa Cruz, became better known, and at that we find the name errone- ouslv given to the newly discovered region.
 As for the name Arizona it actual ly means at tbe foot of the mountains, or 'aohere the mountains end" The spelling in the Papagos language would be Arizakd or ArizanG-the name most certainly given by the Papagos or Pimas, on account of the situation of EZ Arizond at the foot ot the high range of mountains of the
 "Planchas de Plata to the east, and the Sierra del Agua Calienta to the
 north, where towards the west and
 south extends a rolling hilly country

A new industry is being developed at Soledad, Cal. It is found that very fine paper pulp is made from the Yucca Palm, and carload of this material went East to-day at a cost of $35O freight. It is claimed that the best paper can be made from this pulp. Parties with exper- fence and capital have taken hold of the business, and we expect to see something practical and profitable developed.

DIED,

Near Byram, in this county, on the 9th
instant, THOMAS j., second son of L. W.
aud Jane Funchess, in the tenth year of
his age.
We were panied at the news of this dear
little boys DEATH who was SO suddenly
called from earth to his home on high.
He was taken sick Thursday evening, sat
up Friday, and Saturday sleeps in the cold
embrace of death. He was one of the
dearest boys we have ever known-so
quiet, 30 gentle, and 80 senslble--fond of
his books, he made rapid progress, and
was great favorite with all. Two weeks
to-day his little spirit went sweetly to rest,
he spent the day with us; he looked SO well
and happy-wanted to spend some time,
but his mother having told him to return
with his father-in his sweet good natural
way, said he would come again. Dear
Tommie, not In thy human form wilt thou
come again. But, sweet boy, if the angels
are permitted to hover DER the loved ones
left behind, sometimes when thou are
watching SO sweetly over the dear ones at
thy sad home, wilt thou not keep vigil
around us. Thy little heart was already
pure for the Masters call and though
heartbroken thy father and mother now
feel, they have chord, to draw them to
that blessful home above. Fond mother,
weep not for thou hast jewel in heaven.
Doting father, cease your signs, for Tommie
beckons thee home.
Then weep not for thy dear boy, We say---
With roses deck the spot Of his rest,
Nor willow nor cypsess let us see
For why should we mourn for the best p )"

The Picnic at the strait Grove.

To the Editor of the Comet
1t was my good fortune yesterday to at
tend picnic given by George T. Strait,
Esq, in his beautiful grove in front OF his
residence near Madison Station. Arriving
there at noon, l found quite number of
people, many of whom were engaged in
dancing, and all made happy by the sweet
music of our Capital City Band, which had
been secured for the occasion.
1t was a most excellent party of ladies
and gentlemen, mostly from the neighbor-
hood, with few from other portions of
the county and from Jackson. Among the
young ladies present, l noticed Misses
Minnie F., of Canton, Laura NJ, Ella B.,
Pauline j., Fannie and Ella NJ, Cora G. /,
and others, Of Madison Station; Miss Ellen
S., of Tougaloo; Miss c., of Livingston,
besides Miss Maggie r., and Misses H., D.,
G., and many others of the neighborhood !;
all of whom were so charming and pleasant
that it would be impossible to make special
mention of any. At two o'clock, a most
excellent and bountiful dinner was spread
ON q long table, arranged for the occasion,
and do not remember to have seen one
more enjoyed by all present than it was.
Too much praise cannot be accorded Mr.,
Strait and his most excellent and agreeable
lady. for the manner in which they exerted
themselves TO make the cup of pleasure
full for every one present, and certainly
they succeeded well.
I will long remember the occasion, and
wish TO see it repeated. j.

Bull>bat shooting within the city limits
Is becoming a dangerous Nuisance that
should at once be abated-if there is any
way in which this can be done. The lives
of our citizens are imperilled not only by
the contents of the firearms discharged in
their midst, but horses, either being rode or
driven in vehicles become frightened and
thereby endanger the lives of their riders
or drivers. This shooting is also very ans
noying to the sick; there is case in point
now, that of lady in North jackson near
College Green School House, who is dam
gerously sick with typhoid malarial fever,
and whose condition is. lot much benefited
by tho constant report every afternoon of
firearms in the vicinity of her dwelling.

The Vicksburg Herald insists, be-
cause the white people of Mississippi
are not afraid of the black people, and
have no reason for fear, that Therefore
no harm can be done by incendiary
candidates, lies and misrepresentation;
as if good understanding and friendly
feeling was not indispensable to the
well-being of community when it so
happens that one side is stronger than
the otherl What difference does that
make? Are rascals to be accorded all
the privileges of good citizens because
such citizens are the strongest? Shall
the incendiary be allowed freely to
flourish his torch because associated
society is strong enough to put him
down?-Holly Springs South.

Shooting in the city limits is becoming
great nuisance to many citizens of jackson.
For the last few evenings reckless boys
have been firing Unfortunately at bull
bats in the open plains near residences,
leaving their shot to fall all about private
yards and premises, endangering women
and children. The fact that several little
children running about private yards, have
not had their eyes put out by frequent and
sudden showers of shot, may be regarded as
a benignant incorporation of the hand of
Providence for their protection. Cattle are
shot and frightened from their pastures
The practice is in violation and contempt
of the city ordinance which prohibits
shooting in the city limits, and complaints
have been made to the Mayor, who has
issued a notice to shooters that they must
stop the business or be arrested. The City
Marshal has been instructed to arrest all
parties violating the city ordinance on this
subject

This troupe organized in this city, and
composed of genuine black diamond peo-
pie, gave their first public entertainment
at the Benevolent Hall, West Jackson, on
last Tuesday evening, to large and appre-
ciative audience composed very largely of
whites.
The singing, dancing, and general make
up of the show was worry creditable. Pompey
Lemly, George Gaines, Milford Lemly and
Gabo Harper were the end men, with Tom
Poole n very acceptable interlocutor. The
clog dancing, by Blanton and Rankin, called
forth rounds of applause, and was really
very fine display. Another performance is
contemplated at an early day.

YAzoo CRY, August 20.
Henry Dixon, who was shot by JAS.
A. Baresdale, yesterday, died at four
o'clock last evening. The following
are tho particulars OF the affair.
Henry Dixon was coming down the
east side of Main street, about half-past
nine o'clock yesterday morning, and
when he reached Housmann's saloon,
Barksdale walked to the middle of the
street, from the west side, with double
barrel shot gun in his hands and hailed
him. Dixon turned and saw his an
tagonist for the first time. He Dixon)
clapped his right hand to his pistol,
and Barksdale, at the same time threw
his gun to his shoulder and fired.
Dixon turned just as BRrdsdale's gun
was discharged and received four buck
shot in the back Dixon then ran into
the hall, and turned and fired five shots
at Barksdale, but without effect. At
his third or fourth shot Barksdale fired
his second shot, missing Dixon. The
smoke was dense in the stairway and
the combatants were unable to see each
other. Dixon bled internally and died
about half past four o'clock last evening.
The cause of the difficulty was Dix
on's abuse of Barksdale, who is the
nominee for Chancery
Clerk. The nature of the abuse was
such as to render a collision unavoida-
BILE. Dixon's abuse did not only ex-
tend to Barksdale, but to his friends
and relatives, and was extremely vile.
Barksdale will have preliminary OK
animation tomorrow Mayor j. II.
Holt and J. g. Prcwett, Esq, have been
retained to defend him.

Industrial Situation Of Mississippi.

To the Editor Of the Comet
have been struck with the strength and
practically of the thoughts expressed in
the first essay of your Mississippi Tax
payer, +" and if the other papers in the same
line, which you say are to follow, are equal
to it, am convinced that a great and need
ed good would follow the publication of at
least 5000 copies, in enduring pamphlet
form, of these papers. The people of Mis-
sissippi have not had such words of sober
advice and Bound sense since the days of
Poindexter The writer is evidently man
of brain and of thought. The people Of
Mississippi should have the benefit of such
counsel. Will you consider the suggestion
to print 5000 pamphlets for general distri-
button throughout the State ?
