ArtesI0n Wells.

Now that such complete steps have been taken and are being carried out to sink an artesian we'll in Tucson. items touching the subject are of in terest. It is next to impossible to tell even approximately at what depth ar tesian water will be obtained in any locality until after experiments have been made. In Wisconsin and North ern Illinois, to our knowledge, many wells have been sunk within a few years past, and this kind of well is there becoming popular, and in the long rnn considered economical; but in localities of apparently the same formation, water is obtained at depths varying from a few hundred to nearly 1000 feet. In and about Oakland, California, these wells run from 300 to over 1000 feet. At some points in the Valley artesian water is found at few hundred feet, and yet thirteen miles northeast of Sacramento City, J. B. Haggin has just abandoned a well after sinking it 2,130 feet, at which point there were no indications of water. At near the bottom the borer passed through an oak tree, showing an old but waterless channel. Along the line of the Union Pacific Railway, artesian water has been ob- tained at from 300 to 1,5OO feet, and at some of the shallow wells it was first thought water would be found, if at all, at the greatest depths.
 We are informed that gentleman from San Bernardino, who recently looked at this section, expressed the belief that it is favorable to artesian water. The Tucson Company will soon test the question.

Maklnq c LIYInq.

Rev. Mir. Hitchcock, in an address before a club of working people in
 New York lately, said the first ques- ltion asked as we start in this life is: " How shall we get on; how shall we make a living! We need food and clothing and shelteri" These we get for the most part out of the ground, the water and the air, which are the three main sources of our comfort and our luxuries. There is natural limit set to these products; but when the earth, the sea and the air are farmed scientifically there will be provision for a much larger population that the world now contains. The population to be well supported must be industri- 'Ous, and it must be scientifically dis 'tributed. In France there are 1855 persons to the square mile, while we have only eleven to the square mile
 In France the people for the most part are well to do-better off than the peo- pie of England or Germany. Of the population tifty-three per cent. are en- gagged in agriculture, twenty-six per cent. in manufactures, fourteen per cent. in trade and only four per cent. in what is called the learned profes- sions. With us the population of those engaged in agriculture is not high enough, and that of those en- gagged in commerce is too high. Too many people are trying to make a liv- ing by selling things, and adding noth- ing to the product of the country Too many people are in what are called the learned professions; there are too many lawyers and too many clergy men-such as they are. Too large a proportion of the people are trying to live by their wits and not by work

Eastern Press on Colorado Mines.

Generally speaking, the eastern city
 press is systematically putting the
 mines of Colorado and those of Lead
 vile in particular. No one will dis
 pute their right to do this, nor will any well informed person deny that they have been largely instrumental in filling up that section with remark able rapidity. Conflicting reports about the extent of the Leadville mines are now gaining in circulation. Just at this time, the New York Tri- bune sends out correspondents and gets from them reports that the mines are immensely large and rich. The Tribune being devoted to the exclu- sive gold standard of money, it never neglects an opportunity to try to de preciate the value of silver, and if fair opportunity does not present it. self, an unfair one is made for the purpose. Since its correspondents have begun to operate in Leadville, the Tribune sees or thinks it does, an other chance to damage silver, and in an editorial telegraphed few days ago, that paper says "the letters of " our correspondent make it almost ' certain that Colorado is going to " stock the market for silver bullion
 ' heavily for several years to come"
 This is the highth of absurdity, and a ridiculously strained effort to the movement now gain ing Tn England and Germany to re- silver and place it on equal rank with gold. The idea of Colorado heavily stocking the silver bullion market, is an unexpectedly ridiculous assertion for any paper to make in the hope of influencing public opinion, and none will more promptly repu- diate it than the people of Colorado.

Proposed land 8iH

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Senator Booth introduced a bill in the Senate today for the relief of settlers on pub lie lands. It provides that when lands are or have been reserved from rail. roads on account of claims under Spanish, French or Mexican grants, they shall be restored to the public domain whether surveyed or unsur- veyed. Any actual settler who has settled, occupied, improved or culti- vated such lands, intending to claim the same under the homestead or pre- emption laws, who shall have been precluded from procuring title by req son of the reservation shall be entitled to the benefit of said laws after said lands shall have been restored. This act is not to be construed to interfere with any innocent purchaser in actual possession by virtue of purchase in good faith prior 10 such settlement.

Plenty Of Work and Good Wages.

The Tribune concludes its usual Monday review of the business situa. ton and prospects throughout the coutry as follows: While professional workingmen in Congress and in politi. cal conventions are bawling about their sutferings and wrongs, the actual workingmen of the country are today more fully employed and at better wages-the purchasing power of money considered-than at any period since the disbandment of the armies at the close of the war; New York Dis patch, June 23.

SOME of the New Mexican papers recently killed off Col. N. A. NJ. Dud- ley, formerly commanding Camp Me. Dowell, Arizona, and latterly Fort Stanton, New Mexico, and the story came to TIE CITIZEN in some paper that a court of inquiry was engaged in trying to ascertain the cause of his death Now comes the New Mexican papers denying the death, admitting the court of inquiry, but assert it is Inquiring into charges made against the Colonel by Gov Wallace. The Mesilla Independent says that the Col onel is alive and well and the indica- tions are that he will be honorably ac- quilted of the charges preferred against him.

Building and Blowing.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Company is rapidly building and al the same time keep up steady and wig orous blowing all along the line. Not a week has passed during this year that editors or correspondents of some prominent journal have not been in Colorado and New Mexico writing up to the highest bearable pitch the mer. its and concealing the demerits of the country, and now and then one of them feebly winds up in Arizona. II is now announced that the Chicago Inter-Ocean, "appreciating the i'm portance of the great mineral resources of Colorado, New Mexico and Ari. zona, has perfected arrangements with J. W. Robbins to visit those regions and report his observations for the benefit of its readers"
 The Boston Herald. New York Times, Chicago Tribune, leading St. Louis and less important papers have all worked the ground over and over, and there seems evidence enough that the writers have all been induced to do the work by the said railway com pany. If they were to begin or end all their letters by say ing they were only meant for railway advertisements there could be no possible objections to them for they are very cleverly written.

A Boston Countess.

A correspondent of the Philadel phia
Times writes from Portugal: 81 see stand
ing at a window a lady, apparently about
forty years Of age, with face not hand
some, but intellectual and expressive;
fine dark eyes and an abundance of dark
hair, and figure now somewhat inclined
to embonpoint, but evidently exquisitely
moulded. 1t is Madame the Countess
d Edla, wife of Dom Fernando, formerly
Miss Hensler, of Boston, an American
lady of German descent, whom the King
first saw on the boards of Lisbon thea
ter. According to to Lisbon and Centra
gossip, Dom Fernando refused the crown
of Spain, when it was offered to him dur
inc the Carli,t troubles, because he was
told, in answer to a question suggested
by the Countess, that although he would
be King, she would not be recognized as
Queen Of Spain. If the original Pena
was an Offering to religion, the castle, as
restored, is no less proof of the power Of
love.
As we are admiring the beauties of the
place gentleman emcrges from the shrub
berry. 1t is Dom Fernando. His pony
phaeton stands on the road little above.
He and the Countess have been stopped
i'll their afternoon drive by the piercing
cries of magnificent white cockatoo,
which, having escaped from some neigh
boring ayiary, stands dsconsoate upon II
pine tree up the peak not far from the
castle, The King stands near our little
party, and addressing us in very good
English, points with his cane and finally
succeeds in showing to your near-si GIFTED
correspondent, Master Cockatoo. For
the information of those of your readers
who have never seen real live king, |
will say that Dom Fernando is tall, slen-
der, with good figure, fair complexion,
and brown hair and moustache, slightly
sprinkled with gray. He wore a black
frock coat, light vest and trousers, and a
light, soft, felt hat, with wide brim. He
is evidently something of a dandy, as his
bright necktie, caught together with a
heavy ring, shows. His manner is kind
courtesy ITSELF and he is very popular
with the Portuguese. One hears more 70
him than of the reigning king"

Here the "cap'n" drifted to another
topic. So, bidding him good-by, the
scribe went on his way, smiling at the
moving grandeur of music, as illustrated
by "Clem Phinney" in "Great Salyash-
un's day." Capt. Charles was right in
saying the songstress was born in Wayne,
and in a very roomv, old-fashioned house,
now the Methodist parsonage, then the
home of DIR. and Mrs. Cary, his first wife
and a Stockbridge. Here the very early
days of Annie Louise were passed, pleas
antly enough, under the ancient eIms,
and rambling, when old enough, down
the daisy-bordercd Winthrop road, or de-
lighting, as baby, in the glories of an
oId-fashioned flower garden, with its
"christianthums," its rhloX, and, per-
haps, little sweet marjoram, with here
and there tall holiyhock. Before the
young girl bad much mind for localities;
before even she could correctly talk, her
wonderful Gift of melody had broken
forth of itself, and she had passed into
the long catalogue of clever children.
Her baby melodies were not heard long
in Wayne, however. DR.. Cary removed,
going to several places in Maine, for short
stays, and finally bringing up at Gorham,
where the child began school i'll earnest.
The sweetness and beauty of her voice SO
increased that finally she was sent to Bo.
ton to study music in earnest. While in
this city she sang at DR.. BartoPs church,
as well as some others, and worshipers
there will remember the exquisite purity
that filled so completely the holy music.
Her teachers were j. Q. Weatherbee and
Lyman Wheeler. Their advice was later
supplemented in Milan by Giovanni
Corsi, the once celebrated baritone; in
Baden-Baden, by Nine. Viardot-Garcia;
in Paris, during one summer, by Sig.
Bottesini, and in London, during the six
months previous to her appearance in
this country, by Mr., Henry G. Deacon,
whom she considers the best of them all.

A Chance Sbn ut.
TNorristown penn J Herald.I


Last evening, shortly before dusk,
George WeterfieId, a mi4dle-aged painter,
was sitting on the porch in front OF Mr.
Samuel Clayton's hotel at Edge Hill
Village, when he suddenly jump d up,
walked to the bar-room door, exclaimed
that he was shot, and fell dead. A ply
sician who was called in extracted a
Mimic rife bail which had lodged in his
heart. No one was seen shooting, or
was the report of frearm heard
at the hotel, but after some time
a man who came to the hotel stated that
he had seen young man named Titus
Heilman shooting with rife at Abing-
don station, half mile distant, about
the time of the tragedy. Helman was
sent for and explained that he was prac-
ticing with MIME rife by shooting at a
ball on the cupola of the engine-house at
the station The distance from the sta
ton to the hotel is yariously estimated
at from one-half to three-quarters of a
mile, no one putting it under the former
figure. The hotel stands upon high
ground, being not less than one hundred
feet above the level of the railroad, and
the ball must have been what is known
among marksmen as curve shot. Dep
uty Coroner Fenton held an inquest, the
jury returning verdict of accidental
death.
