Globe Mining Items.

 The Arizona Mexican Mill is work ! ing steadily and turning out bullion regularly from the rich ore which is yielded so plenufully by the Mack
 Morris mine.
 The Centennial Silver Mining Com
 pany last week shipped four bars of bullion. valued at $500. IL will do much better this week, The Centen-
 nial is proving bonanza sure enough.
 The Isabella Mill is running right along day and night on Centennial ore, which, since they commenced to roast, yields handsome returns m bull lion, another five bars having been shipped this week.
 We paid another visit to the Irene mine few days ago, and found that the tunnel had been run ten feet be- yond the southeasterly side of the biz ledge, which measures from wall to wall 55 feet, all of thIs being ore, with @ distinct streak of good milling ore in the center, which is from to 9 feet wide.
 We learn from MT II. B. Snyder that arrangements have been com pleted for the erection of a shelter on the copper claIms in which he is interested on Mineral Creek Work has already begun. The value of these claims is evident by a recent shipment of ore 10 San Francisco. which yielded 43 per cent. copper and some silver. There is plenty of wood and water in the vicinity.
 Mr. John Reese, from Pinto Creek. a few days since showed Us a amall sack of dccomposcd rock from the Rowan mine, which contains a liberal 1 sprinkling of free gold. The ore was taken six feet from the surface, and | has a strata three feet wide. On an other part of the ground, not far dis | tant, a shaft 90 feet has been sunk. | from which ore was taken some tune | ago and worked at the Isabella mill. | yielding S9l per ton in silver. This | is the same claim on which Messrs3 l Hayes and Buckingham found the | rich gold ore some two years ago. It ! assayed over S42, 900 per ton, and the present strike yielded seven ounces of gold from forty pounds of ore, beng lt the rate of $500 per ton

An Awful Squirt. 

4 ROc&land young IT. an, until quite recently, was courting fat girl at the North end. and had progressed very favorably with his suit. One evening last week he dressed up in his best clothes, carefully c0mbed his hair and
 started out to make his tri-weekly visit to his fair one, who was waiting in the parlor window with fond alfec-
 ton in her heart and a cold in her
 head, superinduced by the tiuctuating
 weather. This was, as you might
 say, a prologue Co the tragedy. It appears, moreover, that the fat girls

 dollars in good, sensible bonds, and,
 as a consequence, is an object of the young mans tender regard-had for several nights previous been the yic-
 i'm of some unknown miscreant who had raided on his hen-pen with dIs- astrous effect. Sick of such foolish ness, he had prepared ghastly Fetrib- ution for the fowl villains, and to this end had filled a big garden syringe with about a gallon of ancient beef trIce, seasoned with garlic, and flaw ored with assafGtida, and was lying in ambush behind a box, where he could sweep every approach 10 the hennery. The young man, who is pretty well acquainted with the whole iainily, thought would surprise his gIrl by entering the house by the back way. This is the situation:

IsIT CAPTAIN KIDD's SHIP?
A ship Found Buried in the Hudson Which is Thought to Have Been tEe Pirates.
Ichicnrn Tnhune l

l LNAAAt-N AAAnAAAN
 The employes of the wrecking com
 panY who have been at work for five
 or six weeks past at Round Island ! three miles above Peekskill in the
 highlands of the Hudson, searching
 for the Venture Galley, the vessel
 which Captain Kidd commanded dur
 ing one of his piratical cruises, made
 6 discovery. Mir. D. D. Chapin, of | Phillipsburg, N. J., who owns the
 island, has a tradition, handed down | from what he considers a reliable ] source, that the vessel while sailing up the Hudson one dark night to es- | cape two pursuing British men-of- war, ran on the point of rocks which mark the eastern shore of the island. | The position of the island IS such as | 70 suggest an occurrence of that na- ture. The company which is work l ing at the island became satisfied that NIT. Chapin's tradition had some basis. They accordingly sent q wrecking
 vessel with all the improved machin- | cry necessary, and powerful dredge
 and force-pump Of enormous capacity.
 The work is in charge of Superln-
 tendent c. T. Pike and Engineer c.
 P. Tasker. They began dredging 30
 feet from the shore and scoOped out a
 hole 100 feet long and 40 feet deep.
 Here they found the bow of a vessel,
 whose timbers were nearly routed away. It lay apparently at an angle
 of 10 degrees. By removing about 40 feet more of mud. and going down 20 f,af ftrrtbar fbax- roaaha1 raarlxr fba center of the wreck. Pieces of spars, ship timbers and pieces of live oak plank have been brought up to the surface by the dredger. The com pany has two divers on the spot, and they report that the wreck of a vessel at least 100 feet long lies buried in the mud at a stage of from 40 tO 60 l feet under the water. Yesterday the | dredge became fastened in something, 1 and in trying 10 raise it the chain was broken. 4 diver was let down Jj | feet, and remained under the water an hour and a half. When he came | up he reported that the dredge had | become fastened in what appeared to him to be a large gun, the point of which was fast Tn the stiff mud. In proof of what he said he brought up iron scales, which he prodded off with his sounding iron. Mir. Chapin and NIT. Pike are quite sure they have really struck Kidd's vessel, the gun seeming to them to be proof sufficient. MT. Tasker, the engineer. says the mud is all a deposit, and he thinks the amount found would readily ac- cumulate in the time which has elapsed since Kidd was captured. Mud to the amount of G5, GOO cubic yards has been removed.

Good News for the Clarendon.

We had the pleasure on Tuesday to meet Mir John R. Parker, young gentlemen who has come to Arizona in the capacity of mining engineer Of the Clarendon Company. His coming means the vigorous opening of the fine property of that company in the Santa Rita Mountains, and those who have seen the Clarendon group of mines are enthusiastic in their belief that it needs only the expenditure of small amount of capital 10 place them in the front rank of bulllon-pro- ducers. NIT. Parker, who is a grad uate of the New York School of Mines, is welcome to the city and Territory.

Politcness at Home

A boy who Is polite to his father
and mother is likely to be polite to cv-
cry one else. A boy lacking polite
ness to his parents may have the SEM
blance Of courtesy in society, but never
truly polite in spirit, and IS in danger,
as he becomes familiar, of betraying
his real want of courtesy. We are all
in danger of living too much for the
outside world, for the impression
which we make in society, cOveting the
good opinions Of those who are in a
sense a part of ourselves, and who will
continue to sustain and be interested
in us, notwith thstanding these defects of
department and character. We say to
every boy and to every girl, cultivate
the habit of courtesy and propriety at
home-in the sitting room and the
kitchen, as well as the parlor-and you
will be sure in other places to depOrt
yourself in a becoming and attractive
manner. When one has a pleasant
smile and a graceful demeanOr, it is a
satisfaction to know that these are not
put on, but that they belong to the
character, and are manifest at all
times and under all circumstances.

OUR SHIPS AT SEA.

How many of us have ships at sea,
Freighted with wishes, and hopes, and
fears
Tossing about on the waves, while we
Linger and wait on the shore for years,
Gazing afar through the distance dim
And signing, will eyer our ships come in?
We sent them away with laughter ant
song,
The decks were white, and the sails were
new,
The fragrant breezes bore them along,
The sea was calm and the skies were
blue.
And we thought as we watched them sail
away
OF the JOY they would bring US some future
day.
Long have we watched beside the shore
To catch the gleam of coming sail,
But we only hear the breakers' roar
Or the sweeping night winds dismal
wall,
Till our checks grow pale and our eyes
grow dim,
Aud We sadly sigh, will they eyer come in?
Oh poor sad heart with its burden of cares,
Its aims defeated, its worthless life
That has garnered only thorns and the
tares.
That is scared and torn in pitiful strife,
Afar on the heavenly golden shore

Mans Age.

Few men die of age. Almost all
die of disappointment, passion, mental
or bodily toll, or accidents. The pas
sions kill men sometimes, even sudden
ly. The common expression choked
with passion, has little cXaggeration
in it, for even through not suddenly
fatal, strong passions shorten lite.
Strong-bodied men often die young;
weak men live longer than the strong,
for the strong use their strength and
weak have none to use. The latter
tlke care of themselves, the former do
not. As it is with the body, so it Is
with the mind and temper. The
strong are apt to break, or, like the
candle, to run, the weak to burn out.
The inferior animals, which life tenn
perate lives, have genrally their DIRE
sclibed number Of years. The horse
lives twenty-five; the OK fifteen or
twenty; the dog ten or twelve; the rab-
bit eight; the guinea pig six or seven.
These numbers all bear a similar pro-
portion to the time the animal takes to
grow to its full size. But man, of the
animals, is one that seldom lives this
average. He ought to live hundred
years, according to the physical law,
for five times twenty are one hundred;
but instead of that he scarcely reaches
on average four times his growing pc
riod; the cat six times; the rabbit even
eight times the standard Of measure
ment. The reason is obvious-man Is
not only the most irregular and the
incorporate, but the most laborious
and hard worked Of all the animals.
He is also the most irritable Of all ami.
NAL and there Is no reason to believe
though we can not tell what an ami
NAL secretly feels, that, more than any
other animal, man cherishes wrath tC
keep it warm, and consumes himsel1
with the fire Of his own secret refiec
ton.
