Wagner, Inxratitude to the Jews.

There was one man who took pity on poor young musician, and supported hrun and got him work This man was 8 jew, yclept Meyerbeer, the tirst man who helped him, the 6rss man whom he attacked the moment he had an op- portunity to use his pen in gratitude for services received Another man gave him the first piano he ever had; .his man, Also, was a Jew; so that, owing the real starting point m musical life to 6 grea. composer and benevolent friend, Wagners mightiest effort as a literary man was to heap every possible insult and calumny on the Jews, though the Christians would have allowed him to die from starvation; but then Christian l. only a baptized Jew. Be this ss 1t may, know that he says not only that in Vienna the Jews have at sBcksd and most grieVosly harmed him the said Jews being the well-knOvn critics, H8nslick, Schelle, and Spiedl, all three the best Catholics, Gs Vienna Catholics go; but he even openly stated shat he could not return to England because of the unfrlendly reception which greeted him at his last appear snce here, or, III hIs own words, "the antipathy which be met in London, years ago, is bhsed upon the peculiar character of the English religion. hay ing more affinity with the Old than the New Testament" That is to say, there gre only two true religion systems in the world: WGgnerites and Jews. Those Christians that do not adore Wagner and mo other God by bis side" are Jews, i. o., a set whose intelligence is nothing but ill-used shrewdness turn ing tie world of believers in Wagner into infidels, who believe in Mendel- sohn, Mozart, ROssini-musicians and melodists unworthy of being named in she same breath with the lord of lords; Richard Wagner.-Temple Bar.

r ,ss- youstor Rowing North,

The startling theory of the change in the position of the earth's equator has resulted in the recording of the follow ing phehomena, to which the attention of scientists is called. Prof. A. M. Blake, the well known Cleveland astronomer, writes As follows, inclosing a letter he has received from a correspondent, to which reference was made q few days ago:
 E NEW HAVEN, Conn, June Both.
 A. M. BLAKE, EsQ.: l have noticed when the sun is in the zenith, at noon, that the gnomon on the suns dial casts a shadow shorter than the indications on the dial. Your letter is very clear. As inr as I can see the sun crept further north frtm June Fist Summer solstice, old style) to the 27th, and begins to re- trace. A. B. CHAPMAN.
 Professor Blake then says: "He veri- fies my calculations; on July 2d the sun on the return set in the same place as on the advance, June Fist. Hence, tho sun scores right SIX days, and left lon the return five days, which equals eley- en days that 1t was not occupying the same relative position to the earth thas 1t did old style. This proves conclusive ly the change in the inclination of the earth to the plane of it's orbit"
 The above correspondence was read to Professor Clppinger of the Fort Wayne Methodist Episcopal College, himself an astronomer of no mean at tainments, who stated that he had no- ticed the same phenomens in, connec- ton with his sun dial, and that if what Profession Blake stated was bis calculs- ton, and it had been thus verified, Blake had scored one point and that a very streng one, in favor of hIs theory of the change of the equator, owing. to the change in the inclination of .he earth to the plane of it's orbit Fort Wayne Gaxetta

 GRANT, A. T, August 3.-The so called outbreak of Indians in New Mexico IS DO outbreak at all. A troop of cavalry from Arizona is following few hoStlles that committed the depreciation on the Gila . few days since. The arrange ments made by Colonel Bracket for following and punishing the hostiles in Arizona will be successful though the savages are already beyond the boun- dsries of the department
 SAS FRANCISCO, August 4-MeIican leyies an assessment of $l.
 SALT LAKE, August 4-To-day the Tribune telegraphed T. Shober, acting Secretary of the Senate, for full text of the amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, which passed the Senate yesterday, and received the fol- lowing in reply: "rhe Governor of the Territory of Utah is hereby authorized to appoint officers in said Territory to i'll all vacancies which may be caused by a failure to elect in August, to hold their offices until their successors are elected and qualified, provided the term of offico shall not exceed eight months." This is a complete surprise to the Nor mons, as it takes from them all county offices and will place the Territory on an American footing. Without this amendment lav-defyinR pOlygamlsts would hold all offices which the Ed monds bill was intended to deprive them of. No doubt the bill will pass the House as it came from the Senate. It is the greatest triumph yet achieved over the polygamists.

AN UNEIND CUT.

Delegate Oury may well eIclRim "save me from my friends" His most staunch supporter, our morning con temporary, has given him the unkindes. cut of all, and is the first Democratic newspaper of the Territory to begin the attack upon his Congressional record. The Star says, in speaking of the River and Hsrbor bill:
 Arlzona is alone left out in the cold. But lest the CITIZEN should say that is all owing to our having a Democratic Delegate, we desire to inform our con temporary that Montana IS also repre- scented by a Democrat and gets more sp- propristiOns than all the rest of the Ter ritOries combined.
 The reader is left to infer that it is the man and not his politics, and that either the Montana Delegate is a gentleman of extraordinary ability or Arizons's representative is but minnow among the Congressional whales. By the can did confession of the Heading Demo cratic organ" of the Territory, under exactly similar conditions Arizona's Delegate succeeded in nothing while Montana is especially favored. Compari- sons ARE odious.

COPPER PROsPECTs.

The prospects of Tucson becoming the chief shipping point in Arizona for copper bullion are very promising. Sil- yer Bell, the Old Hat and the Santa Rita copper mines are all tributary to Tucson. There are already four snelt- CTS in operation, and two more are be. ing constructed. and the mines are look. ing better than ever before.
 Copper mining in Arizona is in It's infancy, and our mining men have much to learn about the business. They have already learned one very important fact in relation to copper mines in Arizona It is that in almost every instance the mines improve upon development Cop per that assays only two and one-hslf per cent is now worked a. . profit in Nevada, which shows the perfection that has already been reached in the reduc- ton of copper ores. We venture to ss- sert that there is not copper mine in this section of Arizona but that can be made to pay. Every prospector who has s copper mine should attempt to develop it, for he can rest assured that it will bring money in the near future. There is another thing about copper mining which has been generally over looked, and that is the permanency of copper mines. Copper mining has been successfully carried on in England for nearly two centuries, notwithstanding the ore was of low grade and many of the lodes were small, irregular and much broken up. The copper mines in Spain, which are also of low grade from two to two and half per cent have been worked for centuries. and have enriched every company that has operated them.
 The great copper mines of Germany. which have been worked for more than five centuries, are still valuable proper ties, and give employment to many hun dred men. Martin Luther. the great Protestant retormer, worked in tue cop per mines in Germany $50 years ago. We are in the habit of boasting of the great depth reached in the Calumet and Hecla and the Comstock lode, in this country, but in Germany they have fol- lowed up lodes and removed the ore l42, ,560 feet--a distance of twenty-seven miles. The ledes n Germany, however, are not vertical, but lie horizontal, much the same as coal fields in this country. Our copper mines will be successfully worked long after the names of our present silver and gold mines have been fo-yotkap

TIE Tombstone Independent has the following in relation to 6 gentleman who could undoubtedly have the Re publican nomination for Delegate if he would consent to accept:
 Governor Tritle is mentioned in con nection with the delegateship, and cer- tsinly his speech at Tucson on his return from the East, whsther intended so or not, was as skilled bid for the position as We have yet seen. The Governor was not backward ID stating what he had done for the Territory during his Eastern trip, and to make himself "solid" with his hearers, cas- uslly mentioned that through hls ex- ertions, Fort Lowell was to be enlarged and made an important distributing point While we hardly think the Governor serious cOntemplRtes making the race, 1t cannot be denied that, if he could secure the Republican nOmina- tion, he would be a formidable com petitor. He is evidently no novice in the winning ways of the successful politician.
 The above item is msnifestly unfair to the Governor and some of the filings come with poor grace from q paper which supports 8 man for reelection whose Congressional record IS dead failure. As far ss We know the Governor has DO idea of allowing his name to be used in connection with the position of Delegate. His forty days service as voluntary representative, however, shows what he could accomplish in that posi- ton, and if candidate, his election would be in the interest of all the people, fires pectlVe of party.

THE WATER WORKS.

The developments made by the Tucson Water Compauy's works on the Santa Cruz siI miles above town has conclu- siEely shown what may be done at other points along that stream in the way of raising water to the surface. An open cut about 600 feet has brought enough water to the surface to ill 8 space 3 feet wlde by inches in depth with rapid flowing stream. By the expenditure of few hundred dollars, like or greater amount of water could be raised at the lower end of the Papago reservation. IL could also be raised at other points below, so that there can be no doubt a sufficient amount of water can be had to irrigste all the land from Jimmy Lees mill south to the reservation. By the building of one or two reservoirs in the Santa Catalina mountains, and the con struction of a Hume from the mouth of the Rillito canyon across the military reservation several thousand acres of desert land might be reclaimed. mere is no doubt but that the productive land in the immediate vicinity of Tue son may be doubled or trebled by a comparatively small investment, but it will require an organized effort on the part of those who desire to engage in agriculture. There is also large tract Of excellent land with plenty of water near the surface, just above the Papago reservation to the southeast, which might be thus reclaimed. A number of our enterprising young men pre-empted land out there. If they would now go to work and run ditch into the level of the water above, they could secure any amount of water to irrigate all the good land in that locality.

Eight feet is the fashionable height for the first floor, and nine the most al- lowed. in the fashionable villas at New port. This is remarked change from the twelve and fourteen feet ceilings heretofore popular The windows are square, with minute psnes of glass, and seem to be thrown at the house to lodge wherever it happens, many open, light cssements, snd there must be several sizes of glass in the same sash. Piazza rails are built high and solid, SO that you ID reality sit, when out of doors in a room without roof. LoOp-holes filled in with square lattice cause these piaz- zRs to look very much like fortresses The ehimneys, built of handsome brick. are not covered indoors, and the sides of many drawing room gre entirely of brick. with a fireplace and wooden brackets and shelves for bric-a-brac The color is rich fred cement is used5 and ths effect is good.

A Street Romance.
Fron London Society.

A very interesting little story belongs to the exhibition of tho RoyA al Academy this year. A lady and her daughter, in a sudden shower of rain. took refuge ID R doorway. It was that of great artists studio; and the great artist himself en- tering at the moment, invited them to come in from the rain. As the rain steadily poured down, he studied Etten- lively the young girls face and figure; and presently producing bis card, he asked the mothers permission to make a painting of her daughter. So fiattering a compliment from SO distinguished an artist aonld not be declined: and @ beau titul portrait. the result of great many sittiugs, WAS finished in due time, and is one of the ornaments of this years eI- hibition. Such painting would have an immense value; but it was gracefully presented by the artist to the young lady herself. Its only fault is that 1t hardly does justice to the lovely original.

REPUBLICAN PRospRnrs

The Republican primaries have been appointed for the 12th inst, and the county convention to elect delegates to the Territorial convention for the 18th inst. The time is short for the notice, but 1t is sufficient and with the steps taken by the committee we have no doubt the Republican electors in the
 7eral precincts of the county will be fully informed. We hope that all will take an interest and that as many pre- cincts as possible will be represented in the county convention by their duly elected representatives, and not merely by proxies. This is a matter of great importance. We want the dele gation chosen to go to the Territorial convention Q representative one. The vote of the county should not be placed in the hands of one or two men as was that of our Democratic friends and for which blunder they have been kicking them selves, metsphoncslly speaking, ever since. The county convention should try and select delegates, majority of whom will consent to attend the conven- ton. In that way We can insure the assembling of a convention which will properly and fully represent the average Republican sentiment of the Territory. and there will be no occasion for con- plaint.
 There is more importance attach ing to this organization of the party than appears at first blush. The Terri tory is State in it's formative period and Arizona will carry into the sister hood of States the political character istics possessed by it as Territory. There has never been fair test of the political sentiment in the Territory. It has been taken for granted because the Territory, just at the close of the war, received large influx from the detunct Southern Confectionery that it was Democratic. A majority of the TerritOry's representatives in Congress have been Democrats, but they were gen orally elected from local or personal rather than political considerations.
 This fall, however, square issue will | be made. The Democracy are oVer-con- fident and really calculate to play big | game Of bluff. We know, however, that | great change has been going on ID the | political sentiment of the Territory, the ! result of protest against Democratic misrule and an influx Of new blood which IS largely Republican. The capi- tai which has developed our mines is Republican, and the gigantic enterprises of all kinds are in the hands of Repub- licans. That party represents the pro- gressive clements of the country.
 Colorado, the Centennial State, owes much of her prosperity to her political course.
 We believe these elements are numer- ically strong enough, if properly organ ized, to insure the election of Terri torial ticket We therefore urge upon the importance of thor ough organization, and that IS what these primaries are for. The campaign will be a short one, but we believe with proper effort it will result in placing good, energetic, stirring Republican in who will be able to attend to the many pressing needs Of the Terri tory.
