At Carl Ramos on Monday, there was
a grand opening of one of the finest sa-
looms in the city. Of course the festivi-
ties usual on such an occasion took place.
An appetizing free lunch greeted the
first Regiment Of the X. N. Brigade,
Louisiana Veteran Guard. The gallant
troopers, led by their dashing officers,
charged up to the enemy's position and,
with knife and fork and tho Butteran
spoon, they made things "hump" for a
while. Then the refreshing process was
INDUCED in amid eloquent toasts and
speeches too often broken, alas, to be
caught by our reporter. Suffice it to
say, that Carl is a popular and accom-
modating host, who keeps the very best
of liquors and cigars, besides which be
defics them all to beat him in the art of
mixing. From the ancient cock tail to
the Arrack punch, his cry is "let them
come" We return thanks for the deli.

The French Society held its annual
election on last Monday night. We are
pleased to state that this organization is
in n most flourishing condition, posses
sing9@is it does, a handsome balance in
its treasury with which to meet every
contingency. The exhibit of its affairs
was entirely satisfactory, rejecting
much credit upon its officers and mana
gers. After the adjournment the men,
bers celebrated the occasion by convi-
val reunion and the customary inter-
change Of compliments, all of which
were clinched by few glasses of fnid.
The officers were afterwards the reci
picnts of serenadc under the direction,
of Senior Castro. In our next issue we
will give the names of the newly elected
officers, the list Of which has not vet
been handed us by the Secretary.

We owe an apology to our coDsjderat
FREUD Mr.. Johu ], Wax who, upou his
return home from attendance upon the
Rr-nnion of the Army of Northern Kir-
ginia in New Orleans last week, placed
Ns under Obligations for late papers. Mr.
Wax was elected 40 one Of the Vice
Presidents Of that gallant Association,
and though we say it of our own towns
man, wOrthier veteran never wore the
honors since its organization. The pride
with which he refers to the past aud it's
fatal results to him in the loss of his leg,
when the subject Of the late war is
introduced, shows how willing he was
to make the sacrifice. In congratulating
him we must also congratulate the asso-
citation upon its wisdom in choosing him
ggis an officer.

A Warning to Miracle Workers.
4t. lAriyOna MinpY1

We remember that, two years ago, five
of the Prima tribe were converted to the
Mormon faith by Brother Jones Of Jones'
vile, and were taught to believe that any
miraculous cure could be effected by
the 'laying on of hands, At the time
Of question the smallpox was raging in
the Pima tribe living on Salt River, and
these poor dupes concluded to turn ply
sicians and perform miraculous cures
without drugs of any kind, after the rules
laid down by Bishop Jones. They re-
paired to the Indian rancharia {village),
put out their shingles, and began prac-
tice. After about half of the children
had died Of the fearful disease, the stu
dents Of Jones' college having failed to
perform single cure, the old men Of
the tribe declared the doctors possessed
Of witchcraft, and ordered them to be
killed, which order was carried out.

ledge or mineral of any kind, with the
supposition that they will strike it.
That is the way capital gets an over
dose and draws in its horns, when it
might just as well draw a grand pfize
and credit the country operated in, in
stead of condemning it by failure. Some
of the best mines ever before the public
have made gross failure, not because
the mines were not good producing mines
but because of mismanagement, either
by defalcation, misappropriatiOn or in
ferior ability in management. A great
mistake that Eastern operators make
is in sending their friends of the East
here to open and work the mines for
them. 1t is something entirely new to
them, and, notwithstanding the various
methods and practical points of working
mines, they must first, of course, make
some expensive mistakes. Then they
have little counsel and new start and
come out wrong end up next time, but
much more money out of pocket, and
thus they battle along, till, disgusted,
they often report the mine Of no
value, and the company bursts up
after spending $500, 600 or $500, 900, con-
demns the country and all therein and
retires. Some one then comes along,
buys the mine for song, and makes a
large fortune. Therefore, I look at it
that it is detrimental TO- the country
and very expensive indeed, to try to
make mining superintendents in this
manner. There is an opportunity in
Arizona for capital without parallel if
it will operate in a legitimate and honest
way. .... .,...

THE END.
Albanian Traits.
40 TBIackWood,s Magazine

The other day native of the Del
vino. district was travelling, and came
upon a man asleep under a tree, and i'm
mediately recognized him as the leader
Of well-known band of brigands. On
locking round, and finding that he was
not observed, he cut off the briganRs Is
head. Two nephews of the murdered
brigand have now come to live in Del
vino, and every one knows the object of
their visit. They will stop there for
years, until their vengeance is satisfied.
Sometimes the man sought for goes to
live in the Island of Corfu, thinking in
that manner to escape; but he is gener-
ally followed, and suffers the penalty.
While I was stopping at Corfu, the
body of Mussulman Albanian was
found Just outside the town with his
head cut of, and from this fact it was
believed that he had been followed to
the death. 1t is horrible and ghastly
practice; and as sat in my quarters at
Delvino, and looked from my window OH
the lovely scenery of mountain and val
ley, river and forest, the houses sur
rounded with olive, orange, pomegran.
ate, and myrtle trees scattered on either
side Of the steep. hills and extending for
two miles along the valley, with here
and there aminafet, and then Christian
church, felt a shudder at the thought
that, Notwithstanding this peaceful
scene, each house probably contained a
murderer. 4.
With all this, the Albanians have a
certain sense Of chivalry. They assured
me that stranger might travel with
perfect safety from end to end of Alba
MIA with sack full Of gold, provided he
was accompanied by any female compan-
ion, and / have heard this confirmed
from other parts Of the country. An
English lady Of my acquaintance was
travelling to Join her husband in Northern
Albania. She was accompanied by only
two zapteehs, or policemen. She had
stopped in the middle Of the day to rest
under tree. when fine4ooking man,
armed to the teeth, suddenly appeared,
and entered into conversation. He was
shortly Joined by many Others, and she
found she was in, the hands Of large
band OF brigands; but they showed her
every courtesy, and conducted her safely
on her way. These same men would have
robbed a man Of everything he had, and
would probably. have smade him pay a
ransom besides.
