A Story of Rorrowers.

There lived near my fathers family, in quiet
little village in Ohio, two families who were
chronic borrowers, and the pests of the neigh
night. The former would take anything, from
pinch OF soda to a bed quilt, but made a spe-
cialty OF flour. The other family made no re-
quests, but wood, coal, joints Of stove-pipe, and
garden implements followed in rapid succession.
The day borrower became steady drain on the
flour barrel. My mother, being of sympathetic
nature, could not refuse, and would doubtless
yet ,eh have been supplying the same family with
family Of children, who was alone at home one
day when the lad who always came for the flour
entered: and In his old words said: ''Mam want
ed couple spoonSful flour to make batch bread"
This same bad girl measured exactly two
spoonfuls OF flour into his immense wooden
bowl The flour looked right lonely, bat 1t
didn't feel as lonely as that bad girl did when
Ito skin her." She changed her flour market,
but the total depravity of that girl was
clearly established During one night two
peach trees were entirely stripped of beautiful
rover called My mother told OF our loss, and,
OF course, had not the faintest suspicion as to
who had taken them, and her neighbor eX-
pressed sympathy and disgust that anybody
have her say, and remarked that 1t didn't mat
ter much, as most of the peaches were plugged,
and that whoever swallowed them wouldn't get
chance to digest them, for they were full of
epicac-all OF which was strictly false, and that
bad girls mother was Mortified at such false
hood. Two hours later, as some one was pass
ing through the alley in the rear of the borrow
er's house, he discovered about buShel of cook
ed peaches. II was afterwards learned that the
family spent many hours In the night peeling
and canning peaches, and as many hours nearly
getting them out Of the cans. So, owing to that
bad girl peaches, sugar and labor were an en-
tire loss, but we were ever after rid of our night
as we'll as day borrower. So much for having a
bad girl in the family.

Shocking neath.

Sunday evening young man named o. r. DhvIs, employed by the railway company IS telegraph operator at the wash out, three miles this side of Pantano, was run over by train and crushed in a terrible manner, his re mains being found this morning. The Coroncr's jury were in session at the hour of going to press, so that the full particulars Of the event were not oblainuble; but enough is known to render the affair a profound mystery. Davis had been to Pantano 10 purchase some things, and started for camp after dark. It was stated that he had been drinking, but evi- dence adduccd al the inquest and an analysis ot tue stomach proved that he was perfectly sober. He was a fine young man, the only son of his parents, who reside at Marysville, California, and his awful death will be a cruel shoek 10 them as well as to his legion of friends. A peculiar circumstance of the sad affair is the fact that he was one of the three young men who came tU Arizona about two months ago in the employ of the railroad, of which num- Der but one survives, the second being Wm. Reed, who was killed near Pan tano last week.

 A citizen of Cass avenue having a residence worth about $16,00O has a sign of "for sale" on the house, and the other day an old African driving a stone-blind old horse and wagon which wobbled all over the road, drew up in front of the place just as the owner cane out:

 As it is one of the many anonymous attacks that have been made to injure my friend Juan in making him older than he is in reality, and thus 10 de stroy his matrimonial prospects as re- gards the fair bee-huntTesSes of his neighborhood, 1 hope you will make public the facts as stated in the an- nexed athdavit DIFGo VERDAD.

D. 17S1, he, with eleven other Mexicans, laid out said town, and while deliberating as to name suitable for the pueblo, Juan MorinO, boy aged nine years, de sired the place to be named after him, on account of sad day being Juan,s birthday. But upon vote being taken it was decided not 10 call the town after anything human, but after the angels hence the name Los Angeles"
 Further, dcponcnt swears that he was fifty four years of age on that said day, and distinctly remembers the facts herein stated, and that the true age of said Juan Morino Is one hun dred and eight years, five months and five days.

From McMflIPu.

The pleasing news comes from Me Millen that the Democrat mine, on winch work was started up by the owners, under the direction of MT Chas. D. Shain as Superintendent, is showing up in such a splendid man ner as to be encouraging to the com pany in the highest degree. The Democrat has long been considered valuable mine, and the recent com mencement of vigorous work looking 10 its development was the occasion of considerable rejoicing in McMillen It lies near the famous Stonewall Jackson mine-in fact. we believe, is an extension of that property-aud the work formerly done on the Democrat developed sufficient of wealth to jus tify its purchase by the present own CTS at handsome figure. The fact that it is now turning out rich ore in most fiattering quantities will give re- newed impetus to the mining interests of that splendid district.

Visiting Tucson.

Hon. NJ W. Stewart, who will sue ceed Hon. John G. Campbell as Terri
 toTial Delegate to Congress just as cer- tainly as Arizona is Territory, is in the city on visit, and of course paid the CITIZEN office friendly visit. We regret to learn that he is suffering from a cold which may prevent his being present at the Court House meeting to night. He will remain in Tucson but short time, when he will leave for the northern part of the Ter
 ritory. The wisdom of MT. Stewards selection by the Republicans as their siandard-bearer in the coming cam. paign becomes every day more and more apparent, and from ali sections come expressions of most unqualified approval. He is not and never has been a strict partisan, though always
 a Republican, and the number of Dem. ocratic votes which will be cast for NJ. W. Stewart this fall will astonish some of the old hard-shells who regard partisanship as the first law of natu re

One of Globe CIty's Jewels
From the Silver Belt.I

We recently visited the Emmeline
 mine, which is owned by N. A. Bald
 win and Messrs. Buck and Hayes
 Some two years ago, NIT. Fetter, oi
 San Francisco, bonded this mine for if we remember correctly S1OOOi to day it could not be bought fer that
 figure multiplied good many times Considerable work has been done, and
 we'll done, under the management Of
 the energetic Charley Hayes. A shaft has been sunk on the vein 5O Feet,
 which shows an ore streak Is inches
 wide: this ore streak averaging 200
 ounces per ton. A tunnci is being : d,iven from the base of the hill 10 connect with the shaft, wEich it WIFI | du ia no feet Over 100 feet are al ready cut, all of which is on the same vein as the shaft, n ore of the same
 value; but in some places il Is two feet | in thickness. There has been extracted
 and worked up to the present time | from the shaft and tunnel l21 tons, ! besides lUU lpuS iItiul sAbitHE ~-'
 tons in all, which gave an average weld of l50 ounces at the mill. Ore is being shipped to the Baldwin mill
 at the Wheatfields every day, and new
 stopes are being started, which will greatly increase the yield. It is the intention to put down new working ] shaft as soon as the connection Is
 made between the present shaft and
 tunnel. The increasing richness and
 width of the mine as they go down warrants the owners in developing the property thoroughly. The work IS now being prosecuted under the man agement of J. 4. AcGowan, thor
 oughly competent man, well and fay-
 orably known in this section of Ari- zona Jack is a pushing fellow and
 we predict that ihe output from the mine will tax the powers of Inc big mill at the WheatticldS. Mr. Hayes
 does the assaying and retains gen.

ON DECK!
The Republicans of Pima Or ganize for the Coming
 Campaign.
The County Convention to be Held September Doth,
 at Levin's Hall.
Formation of a Campaign Club
 and Election of Delegates.

The action of the Democracy Of Pima county, in drawing strict party line ID the deliberations of their con ventiOn, has been the subject of con- siderable regret among a large class of citizens, both Democratic and Re publican, who deplore the present tendency to force rigid partisan issues upon the voters, when the necessity for such action does not appear in the least. The ticket nominated in the recent convention is in many respects Q weak one-in fact, the whole action of that body was Yacillatory and way ering to the last degree. In some iD- stances candidates were forced upon the Democratic 70 tcrs Tn opposition to the known wishes of a majority Of the party; and in others, men who are not0riously unfit for office have been placed in nomination by the conven- ton, that body relying upon the parry whip to elect the entire ticket and its freight of bad a. well as good. That some of the candidates placed in nom- nation by the late convention are well qualified for the offices for which they now ask votes is not denied; bu; the party machine, embodied in the convention, has put up a ticket as a whole and demands that every Demo crat shall swallow it.
 IL has been with extreme reluctance that that the leaders of the Republi- can party in Tucson and the county generally have accepted the situation They, as well as the CITIZEN, have op- posed partisan division in strictly county affairs, as detrimental 10 the best interests Of the people. But the custom which has hitherto obtained of sinking strictly party issues in the selection of candidates for county of ficers has been ignored, and the gaunt- let has been thrown down to the Re publicans as a body. The latter nave almost unanimously resolved 10 ac- cept the challenge, and have deter mIned 10 place in the field a ticket which shall be perfectly unobjeciIon- able in every respect. and it will re- main to be seen whether the intelii gent voters Of the Democratic party of Pima county will accept the ticket which has been thrust upon them ty their convention. The Democratic politicians have invited a fight and have armed the members of their party with an undoubtedly weak bal lot The Republicans now propose to accept the situation, and will go into battle clean-handed and free from the weight which handicaps he Dem Ocratic nominations. They are moi the aggressors in the fight, and they will not be compelled to swallow a ticket which they dislike-twO things which will give them the victory as such as the 2d day of November shall come.
 The first intimstioR of the disstis- faction existing in this connection was a move toward the nomination of a ticket by a convention in which those of the many Democrats who are dissatisfied with the action of their party would be asked to participate. It was finally decided to call meet ing of citizens to consider the matter, winch was cone, and the proceedings of that meeting are given in detail below.

Very few people are aware of the tact that there are five candidates for the Presidency Tn the field, all of whom are generals. Most persons are aware of the candidacy of General Garfield, Hancock and Weaver, and even General Neal Dow, the Prohib- itionist candidate. But to this list must be added the name of General John w.

The postponement was made in 6rder that ihe Convention may nOt
 in any way interfere with the exer- cises which are to take place in Lev in's Hall on that day, and also out of respect to our Mexican fellow citizens.
