A Bear-Faced Reporter.

From the Boston Courier.
w. Benton, the king of Ameri-
can reporters, has died in Paris.
He scattered about his (journaps)
money with lavishness. He spoke
some eight or ten languages,
and knew every man and
woman worth knowing. The Paris
Figaro says: HE had gained adj
mission to Prince Gortschakoff's
presence as sailor; to Bismarck as
q dog me.chant; to the Congress at
Berlin as photographer. He had
gone to royal banquets disguised as
a waiter, and to royal funerals as
coffin-bearer; In 1867 he made the
acquaintance of Mile. Schneider in
the role of Brazilian diamond
miner; while during the Franco
Prussian war he figured as Turko
(blacker than life), q Zouave, or
Uhlan, according as the exigencies
of the situation demanded. The ac-
complished journalist was, about
three weeks ago. in great German
city, where the sensation of the
time was a troupe of trained bears.
There were six of them, and they
went through their drills and other
performances with such startling
regularity that it was very gener-
ally suspected that they were not
bears, but men disguised in bear
skins. w. Benton thought as
much, and offered to wager
with the manager that he would
enter the den, but the manager de-
clined to sanction his enterprise.
w. Benton thereupon invited all
the journalists in the city to din
ner, assured them that the bears
we're frauds, and invited them to
be present at the afternoon per-
formance next day, when he in
tended to unmask the humbug.
Having bribed an employe of the
menagerie, Benton, disguised as a
bear, entered the cage. His five
companions seemed furiously ex-
cited, but he attributed this to
their desire to ward off suspicion.
The public applauded most enthu-
siastically. 1t was then that the
unhappy being, DESTROYS of carry
ing out his plan, turned toward the
press box, removed his BEARS head
and bowed politely. A tremendous
roar OF laughter ensued, followed
by an immense shrek of terror.
The bears, on seeing this human
face, precipitated themselves upon
the unfortunate man. Before the
tanner could take steps to save him
the reporter, frightfully mutilated,
had breathed his last. Thus per-
ished poor w. Benton, whose edit
or-in-chief seeks vainly man to
replace him." If any one doubts
the trnth of the foregoing state
ments he must have lost all faith
in human nature.

 We get encouraging accounts of the school experiment at the Colorado Riv- CT Reserve. The number of children was limited to twenty-five, but so many more were presented the first day that that many were selected from the most promising. At present it is only a day school as there was an impression or at least a report that the school was a scheme to kidnap the children. The first day the whole tribe surrounded the schOOl-rOom during the entire ses- sion, but since then they have been sat iSfied that no evil was intended. The singing is great attraction.

EX-GOVERNOR MARIsCAL, of Sonora, has been in town a day or two. It is learned from him that the immediate cause of his abandoning the contest with Serna, was the receipt of des- patch from the Minister of War, by the commander of the Federal troops in Sonora, directing him, if Marisoal did not forthwith resign the Governor ship absolutely, to join his forces with those of Serna, and drive Mariscal out. The attitude of the Government was not understood by Mariscal, but the orders were peremptOry, and he did not wish to have any conflict with the national forces, nor was he willing to bring bloodshed upon Sonora. He, therefore, will return to Mexico and place himself in communication with the Government, and learn, if he can, why he has been so summarily dealt with. He is accompanied by Senor Elias, ex-Chief Justice and Treasurer of the State of Sonora. They left for San Francisco and Mexico last Monday.

COLONEL W. F. WTTHERILL came in from his extended absence Wednes- day. Having made several trips in and out, he found a great deal of com fort in being able to get as far as Gila Bend by rail, though just before get ting to the Bend the train came near meeting an uncomfortable upset The rains had washed away some temper ary supports of the roadway, and the engineer could not see the danger un- til his engine was right on the spot. Not daring to stop he put on all steam, and succeeded in getting the lOrg train over, the firmness with which the rails were fastened, alone preventing a collapse The Colonel thinks the build ing of the road will stop, for the pres ent, at MaricOpa. The hands are growing reStive under the heat, and the company has decided not to pay off until they get to that place, as they fear assertions. From Gila Bend the Colonel came to Picacho by private conveyance without going to Florence, and reached PicachO about eight hours in advance of the stage which started at the same time he did.

PoStdI Matters.

Advices from Florence show that Major Eaton is making a thorough inspection of the mail routes in that section. He had visited Picket Post and Silver King, and on Saturday last left for Riverside and would probably extend his trip to Globe City. He had ordered the Globe mail to be sent direct from Florence via Picket Post, which was a thing much desired by the people of Pioneer and Globe Dis tricts. A side mail was ordered to Riverside and it is to be hoped he will see the necessity of extending this route up the Gila and San Pedro val lies to Tres AlamOs.
 Special Postal Agent McCusick ar rived in Florence on Friday last from California and will also inspect and report upon the mail routes in Pinal county.
