Wild Cats.
Arizona Dsmoer.t.l

A great many of our Eastern miu- ing exchanges are troubled about the dangers which besst the pockets of the guileless investor from the land of the rising sun, in the Western mining camps, and their columns are full of advice tC these innocents as to the proper way Of proceeding. Of course everybody understands that a great many worthless mining properties are offered for sale in New York and other cities. Dealing in wild cats '" Is followed by large number of en- terprlslng gentry in those cities, and the greater the excitement in 2 minin z camp the greater the nun Der of worth less properties that are flooded on . too crsdulous public.
 We are not altogether certain that the gratuitous advice of some of these Eastern mining papers is entirely dis interested. We notice that most Of them have sOms untamed feline of their own, whose attractive qualities they are never tired of lauding in their columns. Every other fellows mine IS pittall for innocent investors ex- cept theirs. This can hardly b3 con- sidered unbiased advice 10 men who ueslre to invest Tn mines. They will do well to pay no attention to it. If people want 10 purchase Q mine let them have Il examined thoroughly by men who are competent and honest, and there can be no danger of being swindled. They will find that min- ing communities in the Far West are doing all in their power 10 discover and expose the schemes of swindlers who attempt to float tbeIr worthless properties. The advice of these East ern mining newspapers is a good deal like the protesiatiOns of C0dlin and hls montebauk companion, to Little Nell, in Dickens novel, and. people who are thinking of investing in mines should receive it with several grains Of salt from the jealous and disinierested @ givers.

Globe Mining Exehange.
tSlIver BeItl


 Our business men have at last awakened to the necessity of having representative men abroad, and have taken the initiatOry step locking to that end. Two meetings have been held in the Belt office, programme adopted, committees appointed and stock subscribed An office will be established in Globe where miners can list their mines for sale with the assurance that the agencies in other localities will be duly informed in re- lRliOn thereto. The hTst office, 10 be established in Tucson, will be in time tO meet the anticipated influx of mine buyers from East and West, which are sure tO find their way by rail to that place upon the abatement of cold weather. The time for such a step 8 near at hand, and the opening of all- rail by 6 junction of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and the South ern Pacific routes will afford the op- portunity for thousands of people who q not care to inconvenience them- selves or be subject Co the fatigues of stage travel to come and zee for themselves, and learn with the proof in sight of our wonderful metallic wealth, which VIC know we have. in Globe District, and through he rep rssentations of trusted agents we e1- psct to bring our mineral wealth to the knowledge of others and direct those seeking investments ia mines 10 Globe, where they are most likely to get thoir moneys worth of mining property. Our merchants and busi- ness men have given the project much encouragement and it behooVes min ing men as well ts lend 8 helping hand.
 Since the above was in type an or ganIZation has been effected by the election of officers: E. F. Keilner. President; John H. Hise. Vice Presi- dent; 4. H. Morehead, Secretary: F. B. Knox, Treasurer; Committee on Minerals, T. C. Stallo, Geo. Scott, s. Klein; Committee on Constitution and Bylaws, Morehead. Hise and Kellner; Edward Coker, agent at Tucson. With such men as officers it Is evident that business will be done on the square, and that no wildcat schemes will be foStered or sounts- hanced by the association.

CarolInas sweet sixteen.

A curious petition was that ad- dressed in 1133 10 tho Governor Oi South Carolina by sixteen maidens of Charleston. It ran thus: '' The humble petition of al! the maids whose names are under written. Whereas, we, the humble petitioners, are in a very melancholy disposition of mind considering how all the bachelors are blindiy csptiVa,ed by widows, and our own youthful charms thereby neglected: in consequence of this, sur request Is that your EICellency will for the future order that no widows presume to marry anyyOung man till the maids are provided for; or else to pay each of them q fine for satisfac- tiOn for invading our liberties, and likewise Q fine to Do levied on all such bachelors as shall be married tO wId- Ows. The great disadvantage it is Co US maids, IS that the widows, by their forward carriage, do snap up the young men and have the vanity tO think their merit beyond ours, which is Q great imposition on us, who ought to have the preference. This Is hum bly, recommended tOyOur ExcellencY's consideration, and hope you will per nit no further insults. And we poor maids, in duty bound, will ever pray" The fOrlOrn sixteen would have ap- proved tbc edict of the POrtuges, king. which forbade widows more than fifty years old from remarryiugo on the ground that experience taught the widows of that age commonly welded young men of no propriety, wHo dissIpated the fortunes such marriages brought them, 10 the pref udics of children and other relatives.

GOOD SENSE.
4 Republican Paper on tho Prescott Democrats Efforts to Force Party lines in TerritOral Legislation.
lPhenix Gazettl

Judging by the Democrat of the 4tb inst. one would think that the conduct of two Democratic members of the Lower House-frOm Pima county-in SO far disregarding party discipline as to vote for C speaker of independent sentiments, had com pletelv and totally wrecked the De- mocracy of the country. The gentle man who presides over the destinles of that journal, in a maner entirely at variance with the candOr which usually charateriZes his conduct, tragi- cally depl0res, in a manner calculated to arouse party feeling, what he Is pleased to call the betrayel Of the Democrats of Arizona Territory who have fought SO gallantly; so nobly and so truly in the campaign just closed, who have schieyed so brilliant a vic tory for principle, and nothing but principle" Admitting that during the last campaign party lines were drawn in our Territory, we gee no ress- on why they should now be drawn in our legislative bodies. The princi- ules which the editor of the Democrat SO pathetically parades will never be in any way effected by the conduct of our legislators, SO long as we remain a Territory. and even if the principles which that party is supposed to ad- vocate at present, were entirely sub verted, it would not greatly inJure the party, ca it has on more than one Oc- casion shown a wonderful aptitude in changing it's party tentes. Our cit izens sTs satisfied with the political campaign we hsvejust passed through, and have no desire to see a contInua- ton of it in the Legislature. The men who compose that body have been elected To work for the general good, and not to spend the time in idle vapOrings over the principles of any political party. To attempt to lug in such 8 mummy into the body of lawmakers assembled at Prescott, Is both ridiculous and foolish and we would advise that any member who may endeaVOr tO constitute himself in- 10 a representative of party, and as such strive 10 kindle the fires of par tisauism, be promptly sat down on by his colleagues, and the harder the bet Ter. Now, Friend Democrat, instead of wasting time in trying 10 make our Solons believe that they must let their party think for them, we ask you 10 join in trying to make them believe that their real duty is to forget party, and to work together harmOniOusly for the general good of the Territory of Arizona. There is abundant work for them to do, and they will have all they can attend to during the next forty days if they do what the people Gzk of them.

" Party Lines."

The Prescott Democrat scores Messrs. SamanIego and McCafferiy most unmercifully for their defec- ton from party since the beginning of the session. As near as can be as- certained from 8 careful perusal of the Democrats columns (which is done religiously every morning before breakfast by the entire CITIZEN statD the defechon of those gentlemen consisted principally in refusing 10 give the Territorial printing entirely to the Democrat, at the Democrats own prices, and without any attempt at securing the advantages of cOmpe- tition. The Democrats ideas of party lines are evidently compre- hensive enough, in all conscience. Let it further extend them to compel the Legislature 10 board at a Demo cratic hotel, wear Democratic shirts Gf sny) and drink-but, come to think of it, that's all there is to drink, any way.

Indian Ideas Lightning.
rEuslish Mcdaniel


 The Indians of America have some curious ideas about thunder and light ming Recently two Indian women were struck by lightning m the neigh hOrhOOd of Fort Buford as they were carrying provisions Co the garrison. The Indians could not be induced tO stay ne5r the bodies, which they thought to have become the habita- ton of an evil spirit The catastro- phe was attributed tO the presence of whites. Nearly all the Indians of the United States imagine thunder Co Ee caused by the Tapping of the wings Of a gigantic bird, while the flashes are iron serpents which everywhere accompany this animal The an- cIent tribes of the Mississippi Valley worshiPped thunder in the form of a god, who was 10 be pro- pi,iated with sacrifices; they offered him d dog whenever II thundered or child fell i'll. This god was belieyeC Go produce fires The natives of Hon duras burn cotton seeds on the altar of the gods whenever it thunders. More southern tribes do not offer sacrifices, but prOstIate themselves abjectly on the ground on approach of thunder storm (which naturally diminishes their chance of beng struck. In Mexico sites for temples arc supposed to be indicated by the Deity where the lightning strikes.)

Tho Mining PrOspector. rNa-r-. M.ufrLwl

Behold the prOspeCtor who wander eth over the face of the earth.
 He trayerseth the hills and pickeih the barren mountains with his pick.
 The pangs of hunger grip his bow les in the morning. and ct night he lieth down with only blanket to cover him.
 And the graybacEs come forth and rend him.
 An he liftsth up the voice of lamen- tation in the wilderness and cries aloud to heaven:
 Why has this afiiIctiOn come upon me. and why do the terrors of hell compass me round about?
 And while he sleeps the wolves de- vOur his substance.
 And when he findeth the croppings he diggeth in the ground and tacSeth up the location notice on a board.
 Then be hieth to the valleys and sayeth tO the capitalist:
 Hearken unto me, for l have truck it big. Here are the samples from the ground, and behold the gold makcth lousy the rock with richness
 And the twain return 10 And others toiling upon the claim.
 And the pFospector graspeth bis gun, saying:
 Get ye gone from here, for this II holy ground"
 And a fire coming out of the bush Smites him on the hip, and he calletl with a loud voice:

 And they hasten to take of hi boots, and the fragrance of bis sock reacheth unto heaven.
 And he giYeth up the ghost and il gathered to his fathers.

Chalk Your Hat.

The cant phrase, "Chalk your hat" which is still current in many parls of the Union, is said to have had is origin in literal illustration of tbe words. Admiral ReesiIe was aD owner of various lines of stage coach es in the days before railroads. He spent much of his time in Washing ton, where, indeed, he lived for sever al years. At the annual adjournment Of COngress he would pass his friends of the House and Senate-he was we'll acquainted with all the prominent politicians of his era-Over any stage line he controlled. He would say % an OhiOan or Kentuckian.
 Il suppose you're going back Co Cincinnati or Louisville, and I'll pass you through by stage"
 When he was asked, ''H0W" he would reply: "Give me your hat. He would take the hat, make a cabal- istic chaik-mark on it impossible to counterfeit, and return it with the re- mark.
 That will serve your turn; any of my agents will recognize that any where, and won't receive a cent from the man whose hat Is so marked"
 Reside WAS right. All hIs agents knew the mark at once. The thing became so common that some fellows tried to initiate it, but they were in- variably detected and compelled either to leave the stage or pay their fair. In the South and West "Chalk your hat" still stands for what the East styles dead heading.
