Honcrs to the Dead ii;nister.

4 Berlin dispatch says the funeral ceremonies of Bayard Taylor took
 place in that city on Saturday last at the Legation. An Aid-de- Camp, Count
 Lehendorf, represented the Emperor;
 Major Won Pannwitz represented the Crown Prince, and Counts VOn Bulow and Phllipshorn the Foreign Office. All the Ambassadors, including the Chinese and Japanese, were present. The Austrian Ambassadorship being vacant Austria was represented by Prince Lichtenstein, the Military At
 tache. Among others present were
 Statesman Delfruck, Professor Gneist and Von Bunzen, the authors Aucr-
 bach, Speilhagen, Lindau and Roden-
 berg, and numbers of higher official, artists and scientists. The funeral procession was followed by two six horse carriages belonging to the Elm peror and Empress, the carriage of the Crown Prince, a number of private car riages and many mourners. A dense crowd of people lined the streets through which the procession passed. The body was deposited in the receiv- ing vault at the Cemetery of Jerusalem Church, where It will in a short time be removed to Cedarcroft, near Phil adelPhia. Mrs. and Miss Taylor vii the body to America. Mir. Taylor left very little property. His death was unexpected by himself. He was eyer ready to lend benevolent aid to others, and he, doubtless, thought he had ample time yet in life tc provide for his family. His widow possesses almost nothing except his insurance policy of $1OOO0.

4 cgTIoUs Invention.

The Titusyille Herald publishes the following:
 A new and improved mode of plant
 ing telegraph poles has recently been discovered and tried with success in thls city. The ground being staked of at distances of about two hundred feet apart, g man starts of with pocket ful of four-Ounce cartridges containing the wonderful new explosive known as |" electric powder" and with a crowbar in his hand A hole is punched from four to five feet with the bar Tn a few minutes, and a cartridge dropped toI the bottom with fuse and lighted with a match. The operator then walks to the next stake, before reach ing which a low, dull thud is heard behind, hole about the diameter of al flour barrel has been blown in the ground to the depth of four or five feet, and the work is followed up by a gang of men who plant the poles in theI holes thus made, fill in with gravel and earth, and the job is complete Itl matters not what soil is perforated with the bar, wet or dry, loam, clay, gravel, slate or boulders, provided the bar can be inserted) the effect is the same A gang of four men, with the poles delivered on the ground-one man to- blast and three to erect the poles and tramp ihem-will put up from one hundred to one hundred and fifty poles ! day of ten hours each. The cost, 1 of this new and improved process is about two-thirds less than he ordinary method of planting tele graph poles as now practiced.

English Photographic Wrinkle.

English photographers avoid the strain on the sitters' eyes, which usu- ally results in ghastly stare, by hay ing a clock-face as the point to which they are directed, the eyes being allow ed to travel slowly from the figure XII all around. The rotary movement of tue eye.ball in adapting itself, step by step, to the figures upon so small a cir cle at such distance, is so excessively fine as to cause no interference with the photographic process. The eyes are excellenty well-defned, even to the iris, and the pictures have marked superiority over these previously taken in the manner in which the details Of the eyes are reproduced. The sitters have expressed themselves as not hav- ing had any strain upon their eyes.

The Prescott Enterprise.

Last month, in his opening chorus, upon assuming control of the Prescott Enterprise, Paul Weber says:
 We shall, in conclusion, earnestly endeavor to give ous readers what they have had in the Enterprise in the past, a truly progressive, impartial and lib eral territorial newspaper.
 There is evidently typographical omission here. The sentence should read, "what they have not had in the Enterprise in the past" As the para graph stands there is neither meaning nor sense in it, and it can hardly be meant for a sarcasm for the editor doesn'twrite in that tone. Our impres- sion if any on hearing of the new control of the Enterprise was favorable. It was the removal of filthy sore and dis grace from the newspaper body of the Territory. And even if Mir. Weber inadvertently wrote as he was printed in the quoted paragraph, we do not be- lieve he means to attempt an imitation of the Enterprise of the past. It is not in him. He cannot sufficiently diyesi himself of all manhood, decency and selfrespect to successfully copy the late example of the Enterprise.

Case Of Congressman AckLn-Damdglng
 Testimony.

NEW ORLEANS, December 26.-D.
 E. Penn, member of the Acklin Inves- tigation Committee, furnishes a synop- SIS of the evidence on winch the Con- mittee took action unfavorable to Ack- lin. He accuses Acklin of duplicity in dealing with the Committee, and goes on to show that evidence was produced to the effect that Acklin, after intimacy with the daughter of his plantation manager, was active in marrying her to a hostler on his place; that the hostler deserted her in a few days, and that the girl was soon after delivered of child, gradually sank lower in social life, dying of yellow fever in September. Penn then gives a number of affidavits which wer| before the Committee. The first affidavit is a sworn statement by the girl, Matte P. Wright, denying Acklin's guilt. It bore internal evidence of being fraud ulent document, and the signature es- pecially must have been forged, as the girl could not write. The second af hdayit alleges seduction, with full par hculars of succeeding events, and was signed with her mark, and is certainly genuine. This affidavit was corroborated by eight respectable wit nesses. All the members of the h. yestigating Committee signed thls state ment of Penn's.

Down in a field. one day in June,

Down in field, one day in June,
 Ths flowers all bloomed together, Save one, who tried to hide herself,
 And dropped, that pleasant weather. A robin, who had flown too high
 And felt little lazy, Was resting near this buttercup
 Who wished she was a daisy. For daisies grow so trig and tall,
 She always had a passion For wearing frills around her neck.
 In just the daisies fashion. And buttercups must always be
 The same old tiresome color. While daisies dress in gold and white,
 Although their gold is duller. Dear Robin." said thls sad young flower
 Perhaps you'd not mind trying To Ind a nice white friII for me
 Some day when you are flying" e You silly thing" the robin said;
 "Ithink you must be crazy, I'd rather be my honest self
 Than any made-up daisy" " You're nicer in your own bright gown; The little children love you; Be the best butteroup you can,
 And think no flower above you. " Though swallows leave me out of sight; Wed better keep our places. Perhaps the world would all go wrong
 With one too many daisies. :" Look bravely up into the sky
 And be content with knowing That God wished for buttercup
 Just here. where you are growing"

THE Indian Appropriation bill passed the House at Washington on December 19. In connection there with the subject of cOlonizing the In dians in the Indian Territory elicited very animated and bitter debate The House was nearly evenly divided on the question of colonizing all Indians in the Indian Territory, and having army enough there to preserve order. This amendment was finally defeated, and a different one adopted, which provided that DO Indians shall be col onized in the Indian Territory here after, as the President has hitherto done, except by act of Congress. The vote on this was 57 yeas to 94 nays.

Opposition to tie Army BiM

The Chicago Tribune, of December 3l, publishes a Washington dispatch which says:
 Opposition to certain features of the Army bill increases, although there are many provisions which meet with general approval. Its enlargement of military power at the cost of civil authority excites wide criticism, and the issues made by General Sherman with Secretaries RawlIns and Belknap are recalled, to the prejudice of the new measure. The abridgement of the power of the President in the assign ment of staff officers, making him de- pendent upon the favor of the General of the army, meets with dIsfavor and is likely to be stricken from the bill. The probabilities are that both the Senate and House, particularly the latter, will be slow to enlarge the pow CTS of the chief military commander Tn the time of peace by limiting the powers of the President, who is the Constitutional Commander-in-C Chief.

Prescott Items.

The Miner of December 27, is the commencement of the sixteenth year and volume of that paper Dur ing the past year it has steadily i'm proved in many respects and is now quite respectable newspaper in tone and appearance, and since it has a somewhat respectable opponent Tn the Enterprise, we look for a still better order of things in Prescott journalism
 The following items are from the Miner of December 27:
 "The Tiger company at Bradshaw carry on their pay roll eighty-two names. The Tiger Camp will soon be one of the liveliest in Yavapai county" l"
 "Mr. Vessels of the Tiger, and MT. Clark of this town, have been absent in the Southeastern portion of the Territory fer the last twenty days. and rumor has it tha. they have struck a bonanza, all by themselves. Their trip has been quite secret, hardly any one knowing just exactly the To- cality they are visiting"
 "C. c. Bean, Yavapai's most ener- getic mill and mining citizen, Is out at Bradshaw, directing move ments about one of his quartz pulver- izers. Look out for the bars of bull lion"
 That last sentence is rather rough on Mr. Bean, and we believe it an un- merited insult. It's a queer commu- nity where they have to caution and watch each other whenever matter of value is being handled
 "The Board of Supervisors met this morning for the purpose of gratifying curiosity of some of the candidates for the various offices of thIs county, and opened the Clifton vote, which they found as follows: Delegate-Ste- vens, 97; Sheriff-Bowers 97; District Attorney-MastersOn, 97 and the same number of votes for the straight Leg islative ticket The vote does not change the result as counted by the Board at a previous meeting"
 Col. Riddle, Inspector General of this Military Department, who is on a tour of inspection, went by the Tiptop, and telegrsphs from Phenix, that every thing is looking splendidly at the mine. The mill, he says, Is to be moyed from Gillett to the mine, and five or six more stamps added Fms will, off course, save the expense of transport ing the ore five or six miles, and be handy to wood, etc, which will be good fo. the Company, bas little tough on those who invested in real estate and improvements in the town of Gillett. That hitherto promising young city, has lived upon the mill and the business which it attracted to the place, and this movement seems to be calculated to knock it's underpinningl out"

Red-Hsdded Girls.
An exchange pauses to remark, be- tween items:

An exchange pauses to remark, be- tween items:
 Why there should be a prejudice against red-headed girls is not wholly apparent. But there is no want of evi- dence that there is such a prejudice. Jennie Collins, who has charge of a Boston institution to secure employ ment for girls, says that nobody wants red headed girls, and yet they are quite as likely to be useful and amiable as those who have hair of another color"
 But we can assure Jennie that if she will send lot of her red-headed girls to Arizona they will find there is no prejudice here to work against that brand of girl. Whether it is that the ruder taste of the frontier delights in high colors, or that being a mining people anything of the color of gold pieases the eye, or that the reflection of a golden Arizona sunset on the head of red-headed girl would ensure her a market. there is no telling: but something within us gives the assur- ance that red-hesded girls would pass here as help and sweethearts and wives It's good place for red-headed girls, and, for that matter any other kind of girls, always provided they are good and virtuous and trim and shapely and sensible.

DOCTOR MoFFET's bell-punch has produced for Virginia, in the first year of its operation, an estimated aggregate of $323,659, while the old license sys tenn yielded $24O,OOO. This is a toler- able showing for the Doctors little bell, but not enough to satisfy him or it's other advocates, and it is generally admitted that if the bell had been rung, according to law, whenever 8 toper bent his elbow, there would have been a much greater revenue.

A NEW dollar is suggested to be called the goloid dollar, to contain half the gold In gold dollar and half the silver in silver dollar and which would make a coin about the size of a silver half dollar. It is suggested as a compromise coin between gold and silver advocates. From their course we don't think there could be any compromise with the gold men. They are stiff-necked and perverse genera tion and had better be left alone with their gold and stubbornness. Silver is one of the most important products of our country and the coin made there from is the principal money handled by the American people and no asso- citation of native or foreign bankers or capitalists can ever permanently sue ceed in de5arring it's circulation or de- basing its value. No one ever sees a gold dollar in circulation. And while US ad- vocates, from the silly Mast to the mas tiest money grabber of them all, have been poking all sorts of fun and rid icule at the buzzard," " clipped " or |" daddy" dollar there isn't more un- handy, impracticable and useless coin in the country than the much vaunted gold dollar

SMALL boys, in footing Christmas horns, should know thatthe buccinator muscle is often destroyed entirely when strained too heavily. The statistics of the medical men also show that musi- cians who perform on wind instru- ments are short-lived. The pressure on the lungs in blowing horn often destroys the delicate tissues and pre- pares the way to various forms of pull monary affections. We throw out these hints in mild way, simply as matter of duty.-Philadelphia Times.
