THE trial of Lsstanis Abarta, for the murder of Francisco P Forster, was concluded in Los Angeles last Saturday by the acquittal of the pris- ener. During the entire trial Miss Abarta retained remarkable com posture. but when the verdict of the jury was announced she arose from her chair and extended her hands as If in gratitude to heaven for hei delivanoe, and then sank back and gave way 10 a fit of cOpious weeping The sym pathy enlisted by the unfortunate lady during he trial was s,tested by the shouts of the spectators in the courtroom upon the announcement of the verdict. and the unusual fact that the popular demonstration passed unreproved by the court.
 tmay seem somewhat singular that a murderer should excite SO much sympathy upoli being declared inno- cent of wIllful homicide. But the act of taking human life is not the great est of crimes, although it is very rarely justified. A greater crime, and one that could not be adequately pun ished by existing human law, was the one committed by him whose life has paid the penalty. A sudden death IS not SO greatly to be dreaded as the living death of c martyr to the greedy lust of man. Her whole existence is embittered by the deepest anguish and torture, and the divine mantle of charity gives way to the scorn of 8 selfish world. Volumes could be said in defense of the weak and confidlng creatures whose lives are forever blasted by mans perfdy, but 10 the thinking mInd the extreme enOrmity of the offense will suggest itself, and for once they will regret the absence of 6 most thoroughly orthodox place of eternal punishment in which 10 consign the perpetrator ot so great a crime,

The Robertson AIuddIe.


 NEW YORK, May 2.-A Times dis patch from Washington says; The controversy growing out of the nom nation of Judge Robinson for New York Collector is regarded by Repub- lican Senators, so far as the results are concerned, should an issue be joined in the Senate over the nOmi- nation, as having passed beyond the mere question of the individual tri- umph of the President or Senator Conkling and as involving S breach in the party in the State of New York and elsewhere that would lead to disaster in the coming elections for members of the next Congress. If the nomination of Judge Robertson IS kept before the Senate, Republican Senators say that serious result will follow to the party, no matter what may be the action of the Senate, and the question that Republican Senators will be called upon to decide is, will his rejection or confirmation be less disastrous in its results. COnkling appeared by invitation before the caucus and made long and earnest protest against the confirmation and 10 all appeals declined to modify his opposition n the slightest degree, he Wa determined to use every effort to defeat the confirmation. So far as he was concerned nothing short of the withdrawal of RobertsOn's nOmins- ton would avail in the struggle. He would not only fight the nomination in secret session, but everywhere else He should publicly arraign the Pres ident for wantOn breach of faith pledged first during his visit at the special invitation of the President prior to starting upon his campaig, ing tour in the west. He had received positive assurance that no humiliation would be put upon him and his friend, in any way, and he would receive due consideration in all matters of thi' kind that effected the interests of th' Republican party in New York. The nomination of Robertson was in vio- latior of this voluntary rendering or the part of the President, and Wa distasteful to himself sui tO Senao Pratt and those leading Republican of New York, without whose labor the State would have voted for Han 1 cock.

 PHuADELPHIA, April 24.-The mineral treasures of Pima county, Arizona, have received more aueU- tion from Philadelphia capitalists lately than the mines of any other re- zion. Some Ol the best claims in this city are owned by capi Glisls of this county, and among the most valuable age those ot the AriZnHa Southern Mining and Milling Com- pany. This company was iucOrpo rated last month under the laws Oi the State of New Jersey, with an un- assessRble capital Of I,0J9 OO0, with par value ci S5 per share. They are the owners ot ti.e full gold and silver claims, and an excellent mill site !D the noted Gro Bl8uCO mInIIg district of Arizona. The company Is free from debt, with 50, coo shares of the capital stock in the treasury. They are in close proximity 10 the Orion Company's property aud mill. and rear tha celebrated SaL Jose mine, where recent returns netted over S3OOO per ton. llr. Ii. B. MaX>on, United states Mineral Surveyor of ArizOua, in his late report 10 the company, speaks of the Silver Wing mine, be- longing 10 tbis company, "as a very exceptional oDe." His assays made at the Orion COmpany's mill showed net returns of S2731I per ton of 2oO0 pounds from a shaft only l2 feet deep ore from the same shaft, five feet eeep, gave returns of s102 09. The character oi the ore of this mine Is yellow chlnrides and sDtimoniai sul' phuret of silver, with granite torma- tIons. Assays from the western shaft have showed as high as S940, while assays from the southeastern part Of the claim, ores of sulphuret ot silver, carrying stepheuite, black suiphuret, chlorides of silver and gray carbon ates, showed returns of S3S7ei per ton, the pay streak being four feet Tn width. Immediate developments are to be mace CT this property, W.fh the intention of making the shares ci the company a good investment.

4 Bad Practice.

4 practice greatly to be deprecated exists in Tucson, and ID nearly every State where mining is the chief indus try. It is that of eXaggerating the importance of the district in which ones own mines are located and e.
 demuing all others. The man of car
 ital visits our city to examine certain property to which hls attention has been called, and he scarcely crosses the threshhoid of the hotel ere he IS confronted with persons interested Tn selling mines. If the visitor comes to look at property, say n Orc Blanco, he is informed that the ore there IS too rebellious to be profiiably worked; that no water exists, even for camp purposes; that the lodges are narrow and almost worthless, etc; but that Dos Cabezas is the place for him 60 invest, and if he wants a re- ally good mIne, with. millions in sight, # can be secured very cle3r just now, etc., etc. lie is scarcely free from one bore ere he is attacked by another, interested in some other locality, and the same invidious com- parisons are poured into his bewil- dered ear, and So on ad nauseam. In some instances investors have been actually drIven away without putting a dollar into our minss because Of thIs wholesale condemnation of prop ertIes by persons whose only object is 10 sell claim. They hear suspicious tales about even the best mines in the Territory. and go away with the Im- pression that nothing is good. and that everybody are swindiers.
 Of course there are plenty of shrswd men who listen to these tales and re- ceive them with many grains of al- lowsnce, but the general effect oi msligniDg other properties for selfish ends is bad in the abstract, and works much mischief. Ii @ mine IS not a good one the fact i5 written upon its face md can be readily seen by purchaser. If it is a good one, there may be many better ones, although not 50 well suited 10 she peculiar wants Of the customer,
 Let every one speak 50 well of his owg mines es the honest facts will warrant hlm in doing, bUt, for the sake of the good name of our incom- parable mining prospects, cease to speak ill ot the property Of others, i for the evil words not only work ! harm to those who utter them but ! casts a shadow upon all alike

is naturally full and somewhat round.
but owing to the style in which he
wears his beard, which is that of the
sixteenth century, long and pointed.
while the whiskers are cut close, as
seen casually has rather long and oval
ated appearance. His head is not par
ticularly large, but the forehead is
round and full, with the bumps of per-
ception, drawing, size and individuali-
ty well defined. The eyes, which are
full. bright and dark, are somewhat
deeply set, and are surmounted by
heavy bushy eyebrows. The nose is
straight and slightly aquiline, while the
mouth is large, with full and expressive
lips. He wears heavy mustache
which. together with the hair, beard
and whiskers, is black in color, though
now beginning to bessomewhat tinged
with gray.
The hands of the cartoonist, howeV-
er, are the most speaking portion of
his individuality-they are of medium
size, full and. plump like woman's
with fingers that, though not long, are
supple i'll their movements. the points
of the digits being slightly iattened,
with thumbs trife short and having
the appearance of being almost double
