AS exchange says it was a grace ful '.s..monial 10 science that Con grs ed to send a ship ia search of Gordon Bennetts los. ship Jeanette" T. may have been a gra- ci9us act on the part of Congress, but it would have been much more grace iul for Nr. Bennett Co have sent 8 second shin in search of the lost one. Besides We do not believe in helping Mir. Bennett advertise the Herald at the expense of the United States.
 Bennett sent the Jeanette out tO aG- yertise hIs paper, and having accom-
 plisEed that purpose he cares no more about what has become Of the ship and it's crew than Le cares about the destiny of the Papagos. Bennett,
 like hIs father. is smart; he vii! re- ceive no less than $15O, ,OOO worth of advertising for about $40, eco. When Mir. Bennett comes before the public as a tcreiacIor il IS generally with the main object Tn view 10 extend the in- fiuence of the leading paper. It would be we'll to let Bennett steer his own boat hereafter, and if he gets stranded on the beach let the great dLelist bring her into port or let her go down like other common ships, and have no further palaver about il.

Another Murder. IEpitapb March 3l

Under Sheriff Woods yesterday re- ceiyed intelligence of the murder Ci a Chinamau at A. ?. Frg-y g ranch ol the Babacomary, about four m..e> from Lurty's ranch, on Monday uiEl,. About dusk on Monday evening a young half breed Mexican named George Ward, who has been employ ed as @ herdcr on the BuDacomary for some months past, rode up Co Mr. Frarv's house and asked d CIiuamau named Charley, employed on tLe ranch, for supper. The Chinaman re- piled that there was nothing cooked in the house, and Ward rode away.
 About half an hour after that, how ever, he came back, and the China man went out Of doors Co quiet dog which was barking. 4 short Conver- satIou ensued between Ward and The ChinamGn regarding some trivial mat ter, when the former abruptly said,
 ''I want the money you have The Chlnaman had barely time to express
 surprise ut the request before Ward fired two shots at him from revolver. The Chinaman then ran through the front room, where MT. Frary WAS Sit- ting, into a bedroom at the rear and fell to the floor, grooming piteOdsly all the while. MT. Frary at once took
 in the situation, and seIZing pair of overalls at hand threw them at the
 lighted candle, which was on a table near the open door, knocking the candle over and eXtinguishing It. lie then sprang tO the corner of the room and took a Henry rifle and a shotgun standing there and retreated 70 the bedroom door. He then sang out Go Ward that he had no money, but would give him his watch if he would come after it. Ward was evidently too sbarp to fall into the trap, and It IS thought that he shortly after de- parted Meanwhile Mir. EraTy, who feared that Ward was lying in wait for him outside, sat for nearly two hours in the bedroom door with the cooked rifle across hls knee and the Chinaman lying dead at his feet. Finally, fearing that Ward might set fire to the house, MT. Frary took his rife and made a run for his nearest neighbur, a man named Hank Leroy, living about a mile distant. Here were found three Mexicans, who, ia company with several raucher5 who had been collected together, accom- panied NIT. Frary back to his house. Ward was nowhere to be found, and the dead Chinaman, who is described as a very intelligent and faithful man, was buried. WaIds object was un- doubtedly the murder of both Mr. Frary and the Chinaman, as he had reason 10 believe that the former had sold his ranch the day before, and would probably have considerable money in the house. It is probable that had the Chinaman not stepped outside both of the men would have been killed on the spot. On the ar- rival of intelligence of the affair in this city yesterday Under Sheriff Woods dispatched Deputy Sheriff SOule in search of Ward. Lut when Sou'- ar- rived at Charleston he learned tLa- Ward had left the Whisky Pas, ranch tbelow Bisbee) the night before, headed for Sonora and he accord : ingly gave up the pursuit and returned to the city.

The feast day of Santa Catalina oc- CUTS on the 3Oth day of April and Father Antonio Joyenceau has con- scnted 10 celebrate the day with re- llgious service at the " Log Cabin '' oU Sunday, May 1.
 What an event in history, civiliza- ton and religion was The first mass celebrated before Columbus at Santa Domingo in 1492.
 What an awe-inspiring scene was that when the Pilgrim Fathers first invoked the blessing and protection of God in the primeval forest near Plymouth Rock in lG20:
 The first European eyes that rested upon the snow-capped peaks of the Santa Catalina mountains was in l53S, when Father Mark. of Nice, described his journey to the Moqui village Cihe city of Clvola).
 The first incense that will be offer ed to God from these beautiful objects of His creation will be on Sunday, May 1, 1881.
 The vernal equinox has been cele- brated by the sons and daughters of God since flowers first bloomed in the garden of | fen.
 The feast of the First of May is the fes wal oi Nature, and of Natures God.
 It's tradition passes through peoples and all nations. It's celebration is re- corded in SanscrIt, Order; Hebrew, Greek, Roman and English literature.
 Maidens have danced around the May-pole in blissful innocence of its significance since the sap first ascend ed in the trees by the rivers Of waters"

IT seems to be a fact that as emigra ton extends west and the soil is culti- vated that the rain fall increases. Citizens of Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota have for several years past clsimeu that the rainfall was grad ually increasing as the country be- came settled. That section of coun- try has been favored with several heavy snow storms during the past winter, winch, on the approach of warm weather, Is melting, and has caused damaging floods on the Upper Platte river, Loup'S fork and Vermil- lion and Missouri rivers. The dam age by floods is heavy, especially al Yankton; the lower part Of the city has been oyerfowed, driving the in habitants 10 the hills. The city of million, Dakota, has also been in- undated, the water reaching as hIgb as the second story windows. Farm CTS on the lowlands have generally been warned of approaching danger, which has been the means of saving many lives, though large amounts of cordwood, fencing, hay and grain have been washed away.

One of the Chafn.


 I" .0nversation with a gentleman WI ntly returned from ihe East. we asked him about Eastern cities, when he made the significant remark, Chicago. Kansas City, Tucson, Los Angeles and San Francisco are the live towns on the Southern route they are the towns which most i'm press the traveller" He informed us that there was no place on the line of the Southern Pacific route which pos sessed more life than Tucson, and none, Tn hls opinion, which give greater promise for the future.
 The remarks of this young man may, to few, seem overdrawn; but when we stop to consider, we must admit that they are entirely within the bounds ot reason. Ten years ago the beautiful city of Denver possessed 5000 less population thar Tucson does to-day; yet she now boasts of popu- lation of more than 34, GOO. and is still growing.
 We only call the attention of readers to this fact in order to show what the probable growth of Tucson will be during the next ten years. The agri cultural land of Colorado is not one whit better or more extensive than that of Arizona, while our grazing lands are far superior 10 those of that State. The number and richness of our mines surpass all other States and Territories. There Is no country un- der the sun which possesses a finer cll- mate or one which so fayors the sue cessful development of mines. The weather never becomes warm enough in the mountains of Arizona to he oppressive, or even uncOmiorlably warm, while Co our winters, as we call them, are about the same as frosty morning in October or Novem- Der in the States. Tucson has never had 2 boom, nor do we look for one now; but we have what is much bet ter-a steady, healthy growth which we believe will stay with Us. The CITIZEN has always had faith in the future of Tucson, because we have solid and tangible basis to build upon. There is no denying the fact that Tucson is the great commercial center of ArizoLa, one end of every important thoroughfare in Southern Arizona and in the neighboring State of Sono- "a, Mexico, leads to Tucson. Here is where the great commercial houses of the Territory are located; here is also the principal moneyed center; trade connections are made with every part of the Territorv. Our town has passed that turbulent period usual Tn the history of all frontier towns when lawlessness runs rampant, and is as orderly as towns III the old settled States, and with good schools she holds out superior inducements for men of means throughout the Terri tory 10 make their home among Us.

AT the recent session of the grand jury indictments were found against eight of the inmates of the county jail for various offences. Of these SIX were convicted and sentenced, one acquitted, and the trial Of one put over until the adjourned session of the District Court. This is a very large percentage of convictions, and indicates a thoroughness of prosecu- uon and expedition of business highly satisfactory to the taxpayers of the county.

THE OYSTER crop.
Ingenious Devices TO overcome
Existing Impelil nentS OF Growth.

To-day's Philadelphia Record says
Lovers Of the delicious hivalve Will be
disappointed to know that the crop Of
the lower Peninsula has been mater
tally affected by the recent dry spell.
While fair oysters a.e gathered at
Cri,tield, and the shipments from this
point are extensive, tn" crop elsewhere
is verv poor. When the supply Of
fresh water from the streams emptying
into the bays in which the oysters
grow is small, as during the present
fall, the bivalves suffer greatly, hecom-
ing 80 salty in flavor as to be III a de
gree unpaatable. Besides this, they
do not appear to thrive, and are rarely
found in well-tatteneu condition. At
the fisheries this serious ilnpcdlm"nt 10
growth is partially repaired by the use
of artificial means in the shape of
"monitors, or flats. The oysters are
taken from the rock in their present I'M
profitable condition, spread upon the,'
flats and taken to fresh water and sunh
Here they remain several days in these
feeling grounds. When raised to the
surface they are 70 and to be fa:, palat-
able and ready for shipment. Another
ingenious plan to bring tulluess 10 the
most dyspeptic-looking OF the crop is,
upon being shucked, to pace them in
barrel with twenty-five pounds of ice
The barrel can be fastened tightly and
put upon the cars. The ice in the bar
rel will last for several days, and by
the time the Western dealer gets his
consignment the lean and hungry
biyalye will have consumed the ice and
built upon this sustenance full smooth
and nutritious mouthful. the present
rains are expected to have a marked
effect upon the oyster and ma.erllly re-
duca the prevailing high prices.

erical inefliciency Of our army. AL
though nominally 25.oOO men strong,
it barely numbers 5000 These are
scattered over millions Of square miles
of territory and are 0vcrJaxed with

cies arise, they must be drawn from
great distances at much loss OF time aud
no little expense. The General OF tbe
army estimates that i, would not cost
more to increase the force to the desired
degree thar it does to effect long AMI
rapid movements Of troops. The time
has gone by when the country needs to
teel alarm at the increase Of our mill
