How Bartlett Proposed to the Baroness
 BurdG COuttS.

The London correspondent of the But falO Commercial Advertiser writes: E, the way, no later ago than Saturday, was told by a well known Major in tho army-a skillful story-teller for boys who laid down the sword and taken uI the pen-certain things in connection with the remarkable union of AsllmeaO Bartlett and Baroness Angela Burdett- COutts, which, untll Saturday, l was ig nOraut of. It seems that Mir. Bartlett was spoons on an attractive young
 lady, whom he most probably would have married had not the Baroness put in a word on her own account and fOI the young gentleman's hand. If tho Baroness did not make the proposal co in good set terms" she gave the yOunl man to understand that if he made 1t ht would not be refused, and that amount ed tD the same thing. The proposal was made in railway carriage. l am in- formed that in order ts Aush matters uI in fact. to prevent an action for breaci of promise of marriace-a handsome sum of money was paid to the young ladys family as a saIge for the jiIteC ones wounded heart. The names of the parties concerned iu the transaction are known to me. It k stated th.t the ar engagement, which proceeded comfOrta- bly, enough mp to a certain point, nearly broke down when the discovery was made that the gollen ointment had been supplied by the Baroness herself. As iar as her ladyship has been able to dC | she has made over her immense for tune to her youthful spouse. An, well, let us hope that he reciprocates her ex- traordinary, not to say infatuated, ia vors. If the pair read the concluding passage of Tennyson's Princess to- gether, and endeavor to live mp to the ideal set forth there. the result will be as charmingly idylhc as even the Area dian- minded Baroness could desire.

Skipped.

Sheriff Paul left last night for So- nora, the object of his departure being the capture of B. W. Pyle, who is said to have jumped the country. Pyle was convicted of larceny at Tombstone, and his case IS now pending before the Su- preme Court. He was out under Sl5,0O0 bail, and many of our best citizens, be- lieving in his innocence, went on his bond as sureties. They are now await ing the return of Sheriff Paul, and if he brings his prisoner with him they will undoubtedly hail it as a pretty solid sort of a Christmas gift.
 Upon further investigating the ru- mored running away of NIT. B. W. Pyle, it was learned from well-knOwn and re- sponsible citizen that Pyle told him he was going away on business and would be back on Sunday night. It Is further known that the receipts at Congress hall-which Pyle Is running-are turned over daily to this citizen for deposit. He also left sum of money to be paid over to a certain party, depending upon certain agreements being first complied with. In fact, Mir. Pyle's whole course of action previous to his departure shows nothing that would indicate a desire to jump" the country, and 1t seems only fair to give him the benefit of any doubt that may exist in regard to the matter, until the return of Sheriff Paul, when his purpose will become definitely known.

MINING APPLICATIONS.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
 GENERAL LAND OFFICE, " t--Llr

DEPAHTMESr OF THE INTERIOR,
 GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. %, 1881.
 CHARLES D. BELLAAIY, Eso.. George town, Colorado-Sir: Referring to your communication of 3lst ultimo, I have to s-ate in reply that 1t is the duty of the Register of the Land Office, where an application for patent to a mining claim has been filed, to direct The application oi notice thereof in q newspaper to be designated "by him as published near est the claim" Section 2325 k S.) The term nearest the claim" means the place nearest the claim, which is to be ascertained by the Register through the best sources Of information at his com nand. It also means the nearest by the usually travelled route, and not always by an ar measurement. In q moun- taiDous country the nearest newspaper town in an air line from q mining claim may have an intervening range of noun tains, over which communication is diff ticult, If not impossible, and in any event unusual, and the law, interpreted by its spirit, certainly does not design that publication should be made in a newspaper so situated.
 Again, the Register should designate "a reputable newspaper of general cir culation." (Sec decision of Honorable Secretary Chandler, case of the Omaha mine, Sickel's Min. Dec, D. 6S.) A rep utable newspaper may generally be de- fined as one of established business standng-one which derives from the community where situated a sufficient amount of business or patronage to make 1t self-supporting. It is not es- sentlal that it shall have a large circula- tion, but it should be generally circu- lated in the vicinity of publication.
 It should be remembered that the duty of designating the proper newspa- per for the publication of mining mo- tice IS q ministerial one, to be exercised by the Register, over which this office can apply but general control.
 Where that officer violates the provi- slons of the law to the prejudice of ad- verse claimants, without actual notice, this office will take such action as the facts may warrant Very respectfully,

For City Treasurer.

The name of Mir. Marcus kftz has been prominently mentioned as a can- didate for the office of City Treasurer, to be voted for at the coming e.ection. Should Mir Katz announce hims, If as a candidate he will undoubtedly receive the approval of a large majority of our citizens. X business man of large eX- perience and rare sagacity, and eEIoying an unblemished reputation, Mir katz would fill the office in manner that would leave nothing to be desired, and in the discharge of his duties he would prove alike creditable to himself ind an honor to our local government. It IS one of the most important offices n our city government, and care should be taken that only a man Of charact'r and ability should obtain 1t.

 At the Porter's Neck Plantation, on the Sound, the salt spray from the ocean, waited in showers across the intervening banks and Sound by the great storm, killed everything in the field except the peanuts, which, curious to say, seemed to have benefited 1y the briny shower bath. All the leaves on mock orange hedge, commencing in close proximity to the Sound and running back about one mile, were completely killed, while the leaves on the trees in the neighbOr- hood al died and dropped oG, and their places have since been supplied by new ones.

THE last Legislature passed an act designating the lst of January. the 22d of February, the 4th of July, the 25th of December, and every Sunday, and any day appointed by the President of the United States, as a day of prayer and fasting or thanksgiving, and the day upon which any general Territorial cleo, tion provided by law shall occur. or spe- cial election which may be called by the Governor of the Territory, as legal hoE- days. This law is now in force. and further provides that "in case the lst day of January, the 22d day of Febru- ary, the fth day of July or the 25th day of December shall fall upon Sunday, then the Monday following shall be con sidered as a legal holiday" It will be seen that Monday, tine 26th of Decem- Der, and Monday. the 2d of January, are legal holidays.

4 Lawyers Escape.

Lawyer Mclean of Toronto stood at the altar tO be married. The bride was a you0g blonde beauty. known as Miss r. maine, who had shone for a few months in the best society of that city. The clergyman was half through the ser wee when a man hasteued up the aisle, tapped the bridegroom on the shoulder, and whispered to him. Then Mclean quietly told the minister that the cere- mony was not tc be finished, and de- parted, parting from the bride at the door. The meaning of this was that a friend had learned that the girl was an adventurist, and had hurried to the church just in time to prevent the mar risge. She was an accomplished swind- le-. and had operated throughout Cana da as an escaped nun, as a missionary from China, and in various other ways.

TelephOnic Concert at Fort hWeil'
 The citizens of Tucson have been treated, during the past week, to daily concerts by the brass band connected with the dramatic company nOsT in town. The band usually ranges itself on Meyer street, near Congress, near the telephone office. To test the power Of the telephone connecting with Fort Lowell, the operator in charge O the office communicated with the peorle at the post in reference to the presence or the band The reply received was whistle in the same tune and keeping the same time with the music oi the band. Since then, whenever the band plays on the street conr ection IS Elade with the Fort, and the people there are treated to concert that almost equals the excellent music formerly furnis he'd by the post band.
