Counting One and Marrying the Other.
 New York World.l

COLUMBUS, O., February 2+.-A prominent State official has two very beautiful and highly accomplished daughters-Aliss Kate and Miss Jen- nie-both of whom were well and ta- vorably known in society. A carriage trimmer who lived hard by was assid- uous Tn his attentions to Miss Jennie. the younger, and matters had pro- gressed so far that an engagement was entered into with the consent of tine father, and all the arrangements were made to celebrate tbe nupuals last evening. Cards were out, presents were selected, and cOngTatulatiOns had already begun 10 arrive. Sudden ly and without explanation the invil- ed guests were notified that the we'd ding had been indefinitely postponed. The reasons therefor have just been made known. On Tuesday Miss Jen nie went 10 her room and found lying on her dressing case a note addressed to her sister in the handwriting of her affiauced. With woman's curiosity she opened and read the note, and was rendered almost insane to find in it the full detaIls of an arrangement for her sister Kate to meet the car rage trimmer at the residence Of & minister and have the marriage cerc- mOny performed that evening. Has tening to the parlOr Co cOntron, her sister, she learned that Miss Kate had gone -out a short time previously. Miss Jennie immediately began to make preparations to go 10 the min ister's, but they were interrupted by the arrival of the carriage trimmer and his very new wife, who gave no explanation for their conduct other than that e it had been intended from the first" They then repaired 10 the residence of the carriage trimmcrs father, where they still remain. Miss Jennie was prostrated by the uneX- pecIed blow, and now lies at the point of death from an attack of brain l fever

A Model summer Resort
rBo.tqa Po.t-t

Recently the landlord of an up-
 country summer hotel was in the city
 and called several people to see if
 they would remember his house when
 decidiugon the place 10 go next sum-
 mer. He struck a Devoushire-street
 broker, who has a large family. and
 mentioned what he wanted. ." Got a
 nice plsce?" asked the broker. First
 rate, said the landlord. Q" Many at-
 tractionss'' '' Several" '' How's

 mantle spot where lovers jumped of
 a high bluff into pond :' ' No;
 folks up our way don't make sucn
 cussed fools of themselves. Oh,
 well. have you got any cave about
 with an old hermit in it: No,
 sir. if any superanuated tramp tries
 to loaf about that part of the country
 and get money out of our guests by calling himself a hermit, he'll ind himself in the House of Correction
 quicker than d hornet can get his work in.n '" Ahi Got a mIneral
 spring on your place .' No, sir. li a man is sick we've got a good physi- elan in the vicinity, an good, pure water is so plenty with us that we don't try lo ecOuOmiZe on it by induc. ! ing our guests ,O drink from some nasty pool thatll give em an attack of chnlera." !"

ONE of our old citizens was going home at d late hour recently, when he was suddenly confronted by a foOipad, who, with his pistol at hls head, de- manded hIs money. The citizen as- sured the fellow that he had no moB- ey, that he had "been 10 a fair. '' Before he could say more the rascal dropped his pistol, put it in his pock- ct and presently took out his wallet, and crushing something into the citi- zen's hand, said, in grief broken ac- cents as he turned on his heel, Been to a fairg Poor fellow, take that-I wish it was more" He was soon lost in the night.

TEE boom is coming. The first through train over the new route is an index Of ihe activity of travel toward Arizona that Is to follow the opening of all rml communication by the southern route. Beginning with the arrival of tho firsI tram on Sunday evening, a stream of strangers will pour into Tucson greater than il has facilities lo accommodate. \ dele gatioD Of our people ought 10 greet the first through tram in fitting manner upon lt7 arrival here, and as many distIn- guished and representative people will likely be among the passengers, they should be made to feel that they have not become stranded upon inhospita- ble shores. Our city Is not avery inyit- ing place, atIls best, and the contrast with cities of the East will be un- pleasantly great 10 the guests. In such an event a httle genuine frontier hos pilality will serve a good purpose, both on behalf of our people and the claims 10 public attention by req son of the Terfitorial resources, and to the comfort Uf lEe strangers beneath our roof.

 Black Goose mine, just over Turkey Creek and in line with the Texas, was sold last week to Messrs. Williams and J. II. Stout, together with the Turkey Creek mine, adjacent thereto. Black Goose gives greater surface in- dications than any ledge in the dis trict, ss the croppingS, for l5O feet In width, are strongly impregnated with mineral, the assays of which run all the way from ten to eighty dollars in silver. The ore body in this mine Is believed by competent judges, to be wonderful in extent, and gives every evidence of being of medium rich ness. It being nearer 10 the Texas smelter than is the Texas mine, the ore can be reduced at minimum rates.

About Great Men.

One mild consolation which we may offer to those who lament the decay Of great men is. that great men are great humbugs. Sixty years ago the coun- try was at the opening of q iong era ot peace and rapid internal development. It was also an era of ''great mem at least 1t seems so now from dis tance. galthOugh Webster, Clay and Calhoun spread over a period Of 40 years seems not very generous dis tribution. What they dId for the country would puzzle any body to tell. It was discovered in 1860, at any rate, that they had left one prodlgiOus job undone. The country without @ single |" great man on either side plunged into the greatest civil war Of history. The emergency made com mon men great, and men who became great in an emergency may be par doned human weakness in more vulgar moments. One sympathizes some times with that hOmely character in the old play, who after much dissap- pOintment from the meE Of genius and brilliancy pressed upon his attention bursts out profanely: II am tired of your great men and your brilliant fcl- lows. Give me regular old-fashioncd d-d foOl!"

MIR. THos. ANDERSON, of Fl Capi- tan, called at the Chronicle office a few days since and left a specimen of coal, taken from the bottom of a thirty-fOot shaft Tn what is known as the Black Diamond Coal Mine. The coal field is located about fifty mics south of Globe in Pinal county, and fourteen miles from old Camp Grant. The vein is about 20 feet wide, gad inclines about 4j degrees. The belt, as far as prOspected, is about ten miles long and half a mile wide. The coal is anthracite, and IS lighter than the Eastern variety. Mr. Anderson used some of this coal in sharpening picks, and says it answers the purpose ad- mirably. There is no waste, as the coal is entirely consumed, leaving but ashes. It now seems as if this section Of country has a veritabie bonanza in this coal mine.-L LGl0bc Chronicle.

THE CITIZEN.
Inc New stnte.

The San Francisco Bulletin has very sensible article on the question of carving new Stale out of the s0uthern counties of California and lsouthern Arizona. But We assure the Bulletin that the people of Arizona have Do Idea of favoring such a prop osition and have never seriously con- sidered the question. IL is true that a few thoughtless legislators and one or two papers have referred to the prop osition, which originated with some disappointed mem bers from southern California, who expect much more from their Sta;e in the way of public wsihi6sgs and State perquisItes than Pm Pima SoaH S eailiied 10.
 County Tef would be just as much reason and siterlg New Mexico and Texas for Setg weTe pGI s1 oG of the southern portions Of his eaiterriloy 10 add to southern Ari- NamD and form a new Slate, with srsie.sr RiSt right on tine Gulf of Mexico. Nine .ona does not desire change of ingg boundary lines, neither is she nnssesady nss to try the expensive experiment M a State government. We take the Following extract from the Bulletin upon the subject:
 Most of the efforts to carve out new Cs.s.- r., farga fFarrff.rfas r,rarft .- turely into Statehood, originate with men who want to be Senators or Gov ern0rs There are few eases in our late history in which these nasty movements have been of the least benefit to the people. If we mad not erected a State Government in CalIfOr- nia until 1860, we should certainly have escaped the heavy debt which we have since almost paid. Itwould have been better for Nevada If she had never taken upon herself the cares and expenses Of Statehood. These changes have heretofore been pretty generally brought about by invoking The sentlmenIalIIY which used to be 70 pOtent.a factor in our politics. But it IS felt that not much can be effected in that way now.
 But il does not Iepose on any more solid foundation than the other method. Southern Arizona can make just as much use of the ports of Los Angeles and San Diego in ils present political condition as If II mad direct control of them. State lines are no barriers 60 commerce under our sys- lem There Is not the least Impedi- ment in thls respect t0 tine full deyel- opmtnt of Southern Arizona under the present arrangement. It can move to these ports just as much as it pleases If il has anything to send anywhere. There is one argument, however. which can be opposed to all this loose reasoning, which will be regarded as conclusive. Congress has not the power To grant the request of South ern Arizona without lhe consent of uur Legislature. hat, we are quite cer- tain, wIll never be given. There is too much pride of history connected with CalifUrnIa 10 permit the redUc- ton of ils fair proportions.
