Arizona Luck.

An Arizona correspondent of the Los
Angeles Herald gives something of the
romance of mining in that country. He
says: Ask months ago a middle-aged
mana former resident of Gospel Swamp,
had to borrow money to buy burro to
go to Santa Catarina Mountains pros
pecting He sold the other day a mine
for $4,000, and has better mines still
tor sale. Another former resident Of
Los Angeles discovered a mine in the
Dragon Mountains, and kindly placed
friend in the claim. After while be
was offered $4,000 for it. and on find
ing the other half owner, discovered he
was in an advanced stage of intoxica-
ton. The whisky eyed individual, who
had not put up 81 in The claim, conclu-
ded: Worth (hic) a million (hic) IL it's
worth cent (hic). Won'tsell for S75,-
600 (hic). Our wives will be dressed in
silk (hic) down in Los Angeles (hic)
The result was the parties bought ou,
the sober partner, snd are now engaged
in the pleasant labor of freezing out the
would-be millionaire. Another instance
and will leave mining matters. A Ger.
tain miner owed merchant $ll0, and
on coming to pay his note had only
$l00. The merchant tore up the note
remarking thatit was all right; put me
on some claim that you discover Tht
miner did so, and the claim has sine,
been sold for $40, 0,000."

Ordering John Adams Below.

4
One OF the most successful of the
commanders OF the American Navy du
ring the Revolution was Commodore
Samuel Tucker, OF Msrblehead His
biographer, with pardonahle pride in bis
hero, claims he "took more prizes,
fought more sea-6ghts, and gained more
victories than, with few exceptions, any
naval hero Of The age"
The simple manners that then prevail
ed in Marblehead are illustrated by an
anecdote Of the way Mr.. fuckers CON-
mission as captain was presented to him.
He was chopping wood one day in his
yard, with his sleeves rolled up, and a
ltsrpauliE hat slouching over his tace.
Suddenly an officer rode up to the gate
and halted, looking as il he had made q
mistake. 1l Af at.f
II say, fellow he shouted somewhat
roughly to the woodchopper, 81 wish
you would tell me il the Hon. Samuel
Tucker lives about here" s a
Honorable! Houorable!" answered
Tucker; "there is not man OF that
name i'm Marblehead. He must be one
of the family OF fuckers in Salem.
am the only Samuel Ticker there is
here" ia
Something about the young man sug
gested to the officer that the commission
which be bore,appointing Samuel Thicker
a Captain in the American Navy, belongs
ed to the wood-chopper. He banded 1t
to him and returned to Cambridge. a..
Captain Tucker always obeyed orders
to the letter. He was ordered to the
Boston, which ship was assigned to carry
John Adams as envoy to France. One
day, the Boston, falling in with an armed
merchsntman, engaged her. Mr.. Adams
seizing6a musket took his place among
the marines, and when Capt. Tucker or.
dered him to go below, continued at his
post. vs. ;rs 4sf - ,ses, sssss
"Mr. Adams" said the resolute Cap.

forcing him away, 81 am commanded BY
the Continental Congress to deliver yor
safe in France, and you must go below

~ Cheap John and q companion
have been doing lively business for
some time in selling bits of soap at 81
each to 'sgreen 'uns." The plan is to
wrap small bits Of soap in paper, and,
in the presence Of the spectators, en-.
close bank notes Of various denomina.
tions, from one to ten. The bits Of
soap so treated are then put in the box
along with the other packages which
contain no money, but which in no way
differ from the packages containing the
money. OF course purchaser is not
allowed to often get one ofthe packages

Leader arrived at the school house 1t
was already illuminated by tin, cup OF
lamp oil and rags. The handle had
melted off the tin and in short time
doubtless the, whole school house would
have been on. fire. There was a slip OF
paper lying on the desk (on which the
tin was setting) on which was written
hi fire and birthstone, which looked as
though the perpetrator of the act thought
some one would be there before any
mischief was done. But thatshe did not
