A CommendabIe Aetion.

The subject Cf a public road from this city to La Noria has been ire quenuy discussed by the public and press of this city, and while iis neces- sity was admitted, no energetic efforts were made 10 procure one. The old road hos iong Jeen out of repair and at times almost impossible. It has also been frequently obstructed by mining debris and mill tailings at or near Harshaw, causing considerable inconvenience to travellers.
 i petition from the citizens of Har- shaw was presented by Col. II. B. Lishthizer before the Board of Super visors, yesterday, asking that the road be described and recorded as a public highway, that beirg the proper step to secure for It the protection of the law and the funds to keep it in neces- sary repalr. Through the personal exeriions of Col. Lighthizer the Board acceded to the prayer Of the petition, and appointed a committee to perform the duty above set forth.
 The importance of this move will be more readily seen from the fact that this road furnishes the only avail able outlet for very large scope of mining country in the State of Sonora, and be growing mining camps in the Patagonia District, which are directly tributary to this ely.

We learn from Mir. ". D. Caldwell, Of Harshaw, that affairs in that camr are assuming more lively asp ct than ever before Work or all iae mines is beng vigorously prosecuted, and the prospect Of the output is very fal- tcring.
 The Hcrmosa or Har>haw mine is working a foice of about D men. The mill works about e tons of ore per day. Last month nearly 3O,00D tons were worked. The mil is 8 model affair. IL is provided with the most improved machinery and apparatus, requiring but one-lourh inc usual number of hands Co run it.

 The Alta mine has about 5000 tons oi ore on ihe dump. One hundred tons are Co be hauled Co the Boston mil, on the san Pedro, for working est which will decId, whether a mil or tlrnace Is neceSsarL to reduce thc ore.

Lincoln.
rGeorge Alfred Townsend.l !

He was without question the great est man of the war period, and l think opinion IS crystalilzIng on that.
 He was certainly the greatest man ever knew. In him the genius for the special was crossed on the genius for tle ordiaary. His heart Was as big as bis brain--his human nature as sweet and large as hls mental equip meut was perfect He was man of tbe people. without having trace of the demagogue. The pulse of the great West throbbed in his blood, and the breezes of the prairies swept through his brain, but this gave him energy and clearness, without leading 10 rashness or riot. There was some thing homely and strong in his very ugliness-a suggestion of power Tn his simple, awkward ways, and sense of health and cleanliness in his hearty humor. l have been accustomed all my life tO study men and analyZe their characters, and l am satisfied that l never met such man as Lin coin Alter a lapse of nearly twenty years, l could not find single attribute of Lincoln's that was not a fitting part of bis greatness, nor could I suggest an element of greatness that was lacking. Looked at through the vista of twenty years, his character looms up, full, majestic, complete.

Are Criminals Responsible.

Having visited a great many noted criminals in prison, and having eX- amine6 them phrenologicallyin order to satisfy my mind as tO what has been the cause of their lapsing into crime I long since came 10 tue conclusion that the majority of criminals are such from the defective condition of thelr mental organization. Where one man is led to the committal of great crime by a sudden overpOwering tempta- ton, 99 lapse into crime through the overbearing action of some faculties and the weakness of others, that Is, the moral or restraining powers. The passions and propensitles are generally strong, while the organs of consclen- tiousness, benevolence, veDeratlon, etc., are defective, so there Is not that humane feeling, that conscientious ness of a superior power, or that sense of right and wrong which are the usual higher checks upon human con- duct. Hence, sometimes deliberately, often in fits of desperation, these men commit deeds of violence, and are quite reckless of the results or conse- quences. Some are deicient in all the above points, others in only one; and the majority have counterbalane- ing or redeeming qualities which would enable them to lead a moral life if they were so inclined. Though tLe animal passions and propensities may greatly predOminate, and the moral sense be feebly developed, yet it is not entirely absent. grant man may stunt it's growth, harden the feel ings of his sou, weaken the sense of right and wrong, live only in the qualification of passion, without the least regard for the future or the we'll being of the community.

From the man. ner in which the subject was handled l had naturally expected some re- sponse from our City Fathers, by way either of explanation or eXtenua,iOn, but thus far my expectations have not been realized.

THE Journal says that Mr. William Zeckendorf. who has recently visited the Silver Bell District, on his return Tuesday was startled by painful ap- partition. Driving along the road in his carriage he saw something moving in the brush, and upon investigation revealed a human being, wild, un- kempt, and SD weak from thirst and starvation as 70 be scarcely able Co ar ticulate. From his incoherent nut t-rings he learned that his name vas Charley Numau. He had probably wandered of from some camp in his delirium, and been without food Or water for a long time. He took him in hIs carriage and drove to ranch about seven miles eff, where he mad hjm properly cared for until Mr. Zeck- euCnff's wagon came along next day, when he s brought 10 Tucson and sent to St. Mary's Hospital Ly the Supervisors.

Coffee ! limitations aA -AAA-e--e--
 Martias Romero, in a recent speech before the Board of Directors of the Mexican Southern Railroad, in New York, spoke as follows in relation to the coffee crop of Mexico: "The Oax- aca coffee is of 6 very superior qual- itv and it's culture must evidently reach a great development, as it Is the most lucrative crop which can be raised in Mexico. i coffee plan tation started in a proper location, made with strict economy ana paying for the land at present low prices, will yield a Del annual profit almost eoual to the capital invested in mak- sng the plantation" l! is a we'll sknown fact that the rich alluvsal soil of the lower Gila and the Colorado rivers exten4i1g south 10 Inc Gulf of California, is particularly adapted to the {, fee tree and sugar cane. There are many thousand acres of such lana which may be had by setting upon it, either by pre-emption or under homestead act, and the time is com iug when it will prove one Of the most valuable agricultural portions of the Territory. We should be glad 10 learn of some good competent farmer taking hold of- thIs matter with a view of giving Il far test. There can be no doubt of the adaptabiliiy of both the climate and soil, and it Is only necessary for those who under take it to possess a knowledge of coffee culture to succeed.

\ Promising Property

The rock is of A oual. fly which is a certain indicator of A wealthy mineral deposit, and the owners are confident that they have but to penetrate the iron croppings to uncover handsome ore body. This Is the opinion of all the mining men who have visited that locality, and as The work of sinking the shaft prog reSses rapidly, the Epitaph readers may expect 10 hear more of that sec ton before long.

The Star of Bethlehem.
Savannah Recorder.


 Professor c. A. Grimmer of King SJon, Jamaica, who Is a scientist of fame, recently made some wonderful prophecies Tn connection with the ac- ion of the planets and other heavenly budies He says: " In 1887 tbe Star of Bethlehem will once more be seen in Casseopia's Chair, and it will be accompanied by total eclipse of the sun and moon. The star only makes its appearance in 3l5 years. IL will appear and illuminate the heavens and exceed iE brilliancy even Jupiter when in opposition to the sun, and therefore nearer to the earth and brightest. The marvellous brilliancy of the Star of Bethlehem will sur pass any of iis previous yisitatiOns in 1857. II will be seen even by nOon- day, shining with quick, flashing llghttbe entire year, after which it will gradually decrease in brightness and finally disappear, not 10 return to our OUT heavens til 2202, or 315 years after loc1. This star first attracted the atten uOu Ct modern astronomers in 157j. It Was then called new star. IL was no new star, however, for it was the star that shone so brightly f B. C., and was the star that illuminated the heavens at the nativity of Jesus Christ. This star has reappeared every 3l5 years since, and every edu- Cated astrOloger is certain that it will appear again in 1887. The appear ance of tbis star, accompanied as it will be by solar and lunar eclipses, together with the baneful influence that follows the positions that Mars and Saturn will occupy, will cause universal war and porienteOus floods and ,hIpwrecks. North AmeriC will be involved in civIl strife, and a ieIgn ot terror vii. prevail in the Atlantic States, unless Napoleon arises 10 qCell it. There will be a war of las>es-the rich will array themselves against the poor, and vice versa, everywhere" Could anything be grImmcrY
