Silver rTraditIons1 1n sonora.

Many traditions exist, says the Arizona Record, among the natives of Sonora con- corning the marvellously rich discoveries of silver and gold in Arizona and Sonora. The writer, during a recent stay in Sonora, was privileged to examine mass of old manu- scripts, the work of the ancient Jesuit mis- sionaries. Some of these, referring to the mineral wealth of Arizona and Sonora, were 50 interesting that the writer made several translations. Oneof the most interesting Of these relates the story of mines of marvellous richness discovered near the Real de Arizo- na" by an Indian.
 The treasure was found close to mountain whose side extended nearly half 8 league until it arrived at ravine, which wound through the adjacent hills and is the bed of g. running creek during the rainy seaeon, but the re- mainder of the year is perfectly dry. To this point all the population rushed in great hopes, and found treasure enough to satisfy their de- sires. On the whole side of the mountain and in the ravine were found pieces large and small, many like balls of silver, others hak silver, the remainder being composed of other kinds of metal. The weight of these pieces averaged from 8 half to one and two arrobas Twenty-Five pounds). This discovery attracted from all parts the Spaniards, who, with the work only of removing @ little dirt from one place to another, found Jumps and masses of silver of prodigious size.
 A poor man who had travelled from the city OI Ol5tduC0 OI mOI0 JQAu LQT66 hundred leagues, had the good fortune to find 8 lump of silver weighing five hundred and twenty-five pounds. Notwithstanding his luck he never received any benefit from it, forit was confscated by the government of fcers Others in their discoveries were more fortunate, finding masses of greater weight and size, but what was most remarkable in these discoveries was, that at little distance from the surface mass of pure silver was en- countered, according to the account least ex- aggeratsd, that weighed one hundred and forty arrobas, which resisted all attempts to divide it, and being so large and heavy, the finders were obliged to melt it by the force of fire, and even after the operation nine arrobas of silver were refined from the ashes, and after ward on a second refinement notable quan. tity was extracted. "Persons curious in these matters" says the Father, assure me that the amount taken out in 8 short time and with no expense amounted to four hundred arrobas of pure silver"
 At the report of such notable discoveries the commander of the nearest presidio doubt ed whether SO much silver was produced from the veins of mines, and suggested that 1t was

hidden treasure recently discovered, because
 in case of mineral veins the silver belonged to the finders after paying the royal dues, but if it was treasure His Most Catholic Majesty appropriated the major part and very little was left to the finders. Until this point could be settled by competent authority the presi- dio attached the whole of the silver discovered, reporting immediately to the Viceroy of New Spain. In Mexico various were the opinions respecting it, but the most favorable prevailed The attachment was withdrawn and the silver was returned to the owners,

 P1rrsroN, Pa., Feb. 13. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 When last wrote you did not intend to send you another letter for long time, but I have been so constantly urged to continue that go on. The ''woes of commercial trav- cling" before spoken of are some of the lesser ones, in comparison to what hear talked of by other travellers. But hearsay evidence is always at discount, so it is not to be here ad- mitted.
 Yesterday morning I left New Haven at 6:3o 8. m., going to New York, stopping there few hours, then passing over to Rah- way, N. J., for dinner, thence to Easton for two hours. thence to Bethlehem for supper (and again there had another of those dreaded experiences of winding roads covered with mud in dark night), thence on to Allentown for several hours, and took the train at 8 D. m. for Wilkesbarle; and all would have been well enough for one days travel had not an accident happened just as we were to enter the latter town. I was partly asleep Git being about 10 o'clock p. m. when was suddenly startled by shock and then by some one falling upon my head and crush ing in my hat. Now, I did not much mind my head-covering being spoiled, or my crown getting squeezed, but the top of my hat being, as it always is. filled with ruff1e samples, which if crushed would be ruined, my first thought was about them. All being commo- ton did not know for the instant what was the matter. heard some screams, and men all began to rush for the door. I scrambled up as best I could, still scarcely conscious, and found we had collided with a coal train and were off the track. As soon as I knew where was I went to the car door and learned that the three Pullman cars ahead were all more or less damaged, and that the fireman and engineer of our train had both jumped off and were lying in the snow down an embankment about fifty feet below, badly hurt. It being very dark and stormy, it was impossible to see anything ex- cept the flashing of the lanterns and men running about by their light. Finding that it was impossible to get away from where we were and only too thankful to stay after learn ing how narrow an escape the whole train had from being thrown by accident into the valley below, piled up lot of car seats into a sort of bed and s'bunked in.' I could have slept well had it not been for lot of ''boys"-travelers like myself-who were in for having more of Clark" than sleep. I rested but little until arrived at my hotel in Wilkesbarre just before daylight this morn ing. Again I say if any of your readers want to change places with your correspondent, tell them to send their address. M. O. s.

Mir. John E. Russell, of Leicester, Mass, who has spent six years on the Isthmus of Panama, and who is said by those who know him to be very level-headed man, does not think an inter-oceanic canal is practicable, either by the Panama, the Nicaragua or the Tehauntepec route. He lays particular stress on the frequency of earthquakes, and the great rainfall. which at Panama is ordinarily 120 inches in the rainy season of five months; the Chagres river sometimes rises 40 feet in 8 short time, and disastrous floods are of frequent occurrence. On the Nicaragua route is the swift San Juan river, 139 miles long, the shal- low and tempestuous Lake Nicaragua, and 8 cutting of Is miles. in which there will be IT locks. More than all, MT. Russell does not believe the canal would be for the interests of this country. It would simply aid the com mercial countries of Europe to compete with our trans continental railroads.

Senator Cameron, has, it is said, within few days talked very plainly to his friends in re- gard to the nomination of General Grant. He says that his own purpose is to support that candidate, whoever he may be, whose chances of election seem best. As to General Grant, unless those now managing his case become convinced before the convention proceeds to business that he can be nominated on the first ballot, his name will not be brought before the convention at all. Further than this, unless his friends still feel sure when the convention meets that he can be elected if nominated, his name will not be presented. As to the Harris burg convention, he says that the indorsement of General Grant would not have been at- tempted in view of the shape things took for a period immediately preceding the conven- tion, if 1t had not been necessary in order to prevent his (Oaneron's) defeat. To avertthis. he had the help of quite 8 number of pro- nounced Blaine men among the delegates, whose loyalty to himself in State affairs they placed before their support of any Presidential candidate.

A question of considerable interest to brokers and dealers in stocks, grain, etc., has recently been decided by the Supreme Court of Michigan. It appeared that firm of deal CTS in produce at Owosso, Mich, made con- tract with certain commission merchants in Detroit, by which the latter were to buy on Change for the former large amount of corn for future delivery. Some heavy transactions having been entered into, a dispute arose be- tween the parties and led to lawsuit in which the defense was set up that the contract had reference to 8 gambling transaction, and thefore could not be enforced. The defend ants claimed that the parties to the contract had not contemplated any actual sale or de- livery of corn, that the agreement was in the nature of wager on the rise or fall in the price, and that it was understood that merely
 differences in price were to be paid. These
