MR. BLAINE's position as candidate

MIR. BLAINE's position as candidate for the next presidency is now pretty clearly defined. He is, in the first place, Garfeld's political heir. In the second place, he is the champion of national supremacy in this hemi. sphere, and in the third place, he is the Christian and high-toned apostle of international peace. He thinks these are pretty good cards, and though he has nominally retired to private life, he will play them for all they are worth. His address to Pres- ident Arthur, published Saturday morning, is an indication that he pro. poses to keep himself before the peo. pie. MT. Blaine will in all probabil. ity be continually heard from at suit able intervals until the next republi. can convention, unless he previously learns the hopelessness of his cause, which he IS not likely to discover, as that is the last thing that the candi- dates for the presidency ever find out

The Smoky Council.

The city council had quite little time in deciding whether they and all others present. should have a right to smoke while they were in session.
 During the first part of the meeting Messrs. Chapin and Flynn appeared in the council room smoking, and were ordered by the mayor to cease. A motion was made that the rules be suspended and smoking be allowed, but it was defeated The mania to indulge, however, overcame the gentlemen, and Mir. Thomas again moved that the council be permitted to smoke. Mir. Dean seconded the motion. A vote was taken which was decided lost by the secretary, upon which reconsider ation was taken, and Messrs Thomas and Dean voted aye, Mir. Atchison no, Nash remaining silent; whereupon tbe gallant mayor arose and voted no. the casting vote thus being left to Alderman Nash, who de cided in favor of the smoking faction. Mir Thomas asked that the motion be not spread on the minutes, but MT. Atchison, in strong language objected, and argued that the motion just as put, "that we make smoking room of the city hall" be prop erly noted in the minutes, and it was so ordered
 All restraint having been taken off, general smoke, by reporters and all, was indulged in, until the mayor stated that the room was SO filled with smoke he was al- most ready to faint and accordingly or. dered that no more smoking be allowed in the council. The mayor and the secretary adjourned to the door so that their delicate lungs might be refreshed with pure air.

Dust to Dust.

The funeral of Joseph Wetsel tooS place yesterday afternoon, and mound of mo ther' Earth rises Tn the cemetery to mark his last resting place; but this is not all it marks. It is burning brand of shame upon some of the military officials of the territory. Of what use is the military to Arizona if they are to be kept in camps such as Huachuca, where there is no pos. slble danger from Indians? Such camp is well enough as headquarters, but some of the troops from this camp and from Fort Bowie should be kept continually upon the scout If this had been done 1t would have revealed the hiding place of the renegades that have been lurking in the old stronghold of Cechise, and have saved the life of Mir. Wetzel as we'll as others, if the rumors current last night prove to be true, to the effect that three more bodies had been found in the Ora goons The following is the verdict of the coroner's jury on the body:
 TERRITORY OF ARIZONA, so
 COUNTY OF COCHIsE,
 In the matter of the inquest on the body of Joseph Wetzel, deceased, we, the jury impaneled by the coroner of Cochise county, to inquire whose body ssubmitted to our inspection, and when, where and under what circumstances he came to his death after viewing the body and hearing such testimony as has been offered to us, find that the person was Joseph Wetzel, of the state of Missouri, and that he came to his death on the Sd day of February, 1882, by being murdered, as the jury be- iieve, by hostile ApacheIndians travelling north towards the San Carlos reservation, and We believe this, and all such occur. rences that have been committed in this region, arc due to the inefficiency of the United States military authorities sta. toned in this territory.

New Quartz Crusher.

Allen Oliver, Forest Hill, Placer Co.,, in this state, has patented, through the Mining and Scientific Press patent agency, an improve. ment in quartz crushers in which a reciprocating rolling weight is fitted to ocillate upon a bed or mortar into which the material to be crushed IS fed. This device consists in an improved means for producing the reciprocating rolling motion of the segmental crushers and in keeping them in place, so that they do not slip in the mortars, while they are allowed to rise and fall as the ma. terlal beneath them increases and diminishes. This is effected by a series of connecting rods which pro- duce parallel motion, these rods passing through holes on guides which move vertically in the closed ,a mortar box, so as to keep a tight

These segments may be united so as to stand side by side, each seg. ment standing in its own mortar, and q shaft passing through their upper ends, extending out upon each side so as to receive the ends of the pit man or connecting rods by which tho segments are caused to roll or oscil- late.
