Judge Porter as a Candidate
 for Congress.

On receipt of information that Gov. Stafford would not be can didate for delegate. Judge Porter on Wednesday informed his friends that he would comply with the urgent requests which have been made of him by Many citizens from all parts of the Ter iitOry, and enter the canvass a5 q candidate for the position of del. egate in the November election. This action on the part of Judge Porter will be peculiarly gratify- ing to the citizens of NaricOpa and Yuma counties, and to all who know him throughout our borders. His long residence in the Territory, bis familiarity from extensive travel with it's re, sources, It's wants, and it's people. and his recognized ability, now that he has consented to bea can, tsidate will place his election be- yOnd a doubt.
 When the campaign opens 1t will be an active one, as Judge Porter is not one to turn back, or to disappoint the true friends Of the Territory in any position he may be placed.-Ph@nix Herald.

Somewhere about 5000 men. 500 or 700 wagons, seventeen or
 eighteen locomotives, three steam
 ''navies," and a great number of
 minor machinery of various kinds
 have been engaged since 1875 at
 the southeast end of London in a
 work compared with which the building of the pyramids-witI.
 modern appliances-would have
 been no very signal feat. uither- to the one entrance to the victO- rio docks from the Thames has been from Black wells Point, but now there is dock capable of re- ceiving all vessels, no matter what they might be. Three or four miles of walls have been built, inclosing ninety acres of water. These "walls" are forty feet high, five feet thick at the top. and eighteen to nineteen feet thick at the bottom, and the whole of this enormous mass be- ing composed of solid concrete, for which S0,000 tons of Portland cement have been used. Some f. OO0.0 GOO cabic feet have been dug out. It may assist the imagina~ tlOn somewhat to Stata that if il were filled.into ordinary carts, the vehicles would form an unbrOken line 1000 miles long. The eXca- vatiOns have gone through a sub- merged forest, and among other curiosities dug cut have been reindeer's horn, a Roman vase, and what is supposed to be an ancient British canoe, carved out of solid oak. The latter is now in the British Museum.

A New York Orphan.

From the Detroit Free Press
 One of the little lambs picked up in the streets of New York by WhitelaW Reid and sent West to find home was adopted by a Detroit family about two months ago, and, ere this is published, MT. Reid has received a big pos tal-card announcing that his dear lamb has gone West to fight the Indians, and that he needn't mind about sending on another to take his place.
 This New York lamb was 13 years old. He said so at the de !. pot on his arrival, and Lalf au hour later he reiterated the state- ment at the house, and added:
 "And if you don't believe if, tlen call me a liar! That's the sort of a spring-gun I am. and don't you forget itn'
 They didn't forget it. He gave them no chance to. He ate with his fingers, wiped his mouth on his sleeve andsgave the family to understand before supper was over that he didn't come West to have his hair combed or his face washed as a regular business. On his first evening he slipped out, had three fights and stole a dog, and when hun led up he wasabout to take his beer in a saloon.
 The family expected to wrestle with the boy for awhile, and they didn't sit down on him until it became painful necessity. Dur ing the first week he stole 8 in money, gold chain. revolver and a pair of earrings, and he got drunk twice. When reasoned with and asked to do better he took a fresh chew Of plug tobacco and replied:
 "Oh! you Michigan folks are too soft! If a feflar can't have good time what's the use of bein' an orphan?"
 On Monday of the second week he sold the family dog toa stran. ger for quarter, threw the saw and tie axe into the alley, and

The proceedings 10 remove i Mayor Kalloch from office have
 been dismissed Dy the Superior , Court. The dismissal is based
 upon technicalities, is granted upon the most fiimsy and unjust grounds, aud will not please or
 2atisfy the people. Of course,
 when the matter comes before
 the law Courts, there iS only one
 view from which San Francisco's
 Incubus can he judged. That
 question is, Was he legally guilty
 or not? That he is morally guilty
 even the most braZen faced of his
 myrmidOns would hardly deny.
 The complaint against him clear
 " Ill ages: First-rhat he dll on
 divers occasions. deliver certain
 incorporate, infiam matOry and scandalouS haraDgues. SecOud-- That he asked and secured gratu. ities and rewards for obtaining and furnishing employment to sundry persons in the public off, ces of the city. Third-That he solicited and accepted free rail- road passes. The fate of the rev. erend gentleman hinged upon a demurrer to this complaint, W hich, while no attempt was made to deny the allegations, claimed that the Offpnses stated were not com mntted Gin the line of the defen- dents official duties." That is to say, that though by virtue of his prestige as Mayor Of San Francis cn, KallOch sought and obtained free passes from d number Ot rail road companies on specified occa- sions, yet so long as he did not ask for and get them because he was Mayor he did not violate the ] section of our Constitution which l reads as follows: "No railroad or other transportation company ! shall grant free passes, or pdsses or tickets at d discount. to any person holding any office of hon. or, trust or. profit in this State; and the acceptance of any such pass or ticket by a member of the Legislature, or any public officer other than the Railroad C0mmis. sioner, shall work forfeiture of his office"

 For Englishmen especially, the
 story of the American civil war
 must always possess the most
 powerful attractions. On both
 sides the principles involved were
 those which most deeply affect our own national feeling; the language, the race, the ideas of the combatants were our own. The army of Northern Virginia in particular, from the, nature of the defense ii had tO. maintain. and the character it earned and sustained, enlisted, and will for generations continue to enlis,, the strongest English sympathy. It fought with English teaacity, English recklessness of cOnse- quences, English indidereDees to odds, what was from the first a very doubtful and soon became an evidently losing battle. Once only was it fairly bea :en in the field; over and over again, both on the offensive and defensive, it proved itself more than match for ie apparently overwhelming odds. Its composition resembled very closely that of our own vol. unteer regiments. It's chiefs were men whose personal cfar.c- ter and public conduct displayed all the virtues on which English. men most pride themselves; as the people of Virginia are Ler- haps the most thoroughly English of all the many offShOots which the mother race has plantetsl in every part of the world. Gener- al Lee was as perfect type of the ideal English soldier and gen. tlemen as history can show. "StOnewall" Jackson reproduced. with many of its eccentrIcitie-, but scarcely one of its worse and meaner feautures, the htstoric characters of the Puritan leaders, Stuart, FitZhugh Lee and Wade Hampton reminded those whh closely followed their cafeer Of the finest examples of English loyalty and simplicity.

From s. F. Ne,rS- Letter.
 Tbe Supreme Court having de
 cided that the city ordinance an
 der which Denis Kearney was
 convicted of using incendiary
 language is null and void, the pesky little varmint is once more
 turned loose upon sufferinS < unity, with the added pres
 tige of having bearded the lion, l law, in his den, and overcome hin. What is the use of passing laws that are intellectual, or heinz effectuai if properly administer ed, fall before the hellOwing of demagogues as the walls of Jeri- chO fell before the blasts of Israel? What safety shall there be for tn e law-abiders if the law defiers are permitted perpetual license? To punish Kearney as an idividual was no part of the programme, but to make an example of him as representative of the danger Ons elements of society was what the situation demanded. While we do not propose to blame the Judges for errors in legislation which may not have permitted them 10 fulfill desired duties, we cannot but reflect upon the lack of intelligence and patriotism on the part of legislators, who will fully neglected to do their duty, or, seeming to attempt it, made loOpholes in the law whereby criminals may escape. The les son of it all is, that we should see tO it that our lawmakers are hon. est, capsb ble and educated men, who will perform their duty by the people, without fear and without favOr-WhO cannot be | awed or hribed into dcing that 1 which their con:cience tells them is wrong. We are sick of party 1 demagOgueS, no matter from | whence they spring. They are a bad lot all around. And now if Kearney and KallOch resurrect the fallen fortunes of the sand 1 lot, let our respectable citizens blame none but themselves, that having the power to direct events, they willfully neglect to exercise it.

A German physician claims to have discovered a means of dye ing the eyes of animals in gen eral, and man ill particular, any color he pleases.

naughty stare from Conkling. The Miss
issippi senator returned the look almost
fercely, and then he nodded to Gen.
Logan and passed on. A few moments
afterwards he found Senator Blaine. The
latter shouted out. right in the midst Of
the proceedings. so as to be heard in the
galleries: Hello. LAMAR I am glad to
see you back The two then took seat
on the Democratic side and spent nearly
an hour in intimate conversation. Senator
Conking rose to speak once during the
afternoon. Everybody thought he was
going TO make personal explanation. but
the veteran actor disappointed his
audience by simply addressing himself to
the measure pending before the senate.
This is the old bill to give to certain states
moneys loaned TO them forty-odd years
ago by the United States Mr.. Conkling's
talk was a brief legal argument, without
any special interest,

There was a silent scene" as the
Washington kilograms style it, between
Senators Lamar and Conkling The bitter
enmity between these senators is known
to everyone, but for a long while they
have borne their grievances in silence.
Both senator's appeared for the first time
this session and of course attracted much
attention. The Chicago Times correspon-
dent, describing the scene, says that Sem
ator Blaine never welcomed Conkling-he
paid no attention ito the New York sena"
tor. As soon as Lamar arrived he began
to hunt up Blaine. Mr.. Blaine was not In
his seat when Mr.. Lamar came in. The
latter came over to the Republican side to
look IN the cloak room for hin, when he
nearly ran oyer Mr.. ConkIing The New
York senator had Gen. Logan backed up
against the yellow gray walls of the senate
chamber. and was talking to him With
great earnestness. The two made very
interesting picture. by contrast. Gen.
Logan, with arms folded, dressed
in dark suit. leaned AGAINST tho
wall, while Conkling lowered ever him,
blonde and pink. He was earnest
and gesticulated like a Frenchman.
Lamar came along. and in fit of abstrac
tlon. common to him, very nearly ran
between the two. He looked ND to see
NhQ was in bic way. and was met with q
