On few the effect of mOrphia is to excite Co some in- tellectual effort, if effort that can be called which is pure delight, gl0Ti9us feeling of untrammeled power, of uu- crippled exercise of the highest faculties. 1t Is as though the mind had suddenly developed wings. But at the very height of enchantment the influenced of mOrphia begins to subside. The glory fades. The wings trail, and the feet that are their sorry substitute become weighted as with lead.

FIX GOVERNOR sAFFORD.

X short time since it was announced that Ex Governor A. ?. K. Stafford was about to withdraw all his interests from this Territory. This announcement Oc- casioned great regret among those who have been acquainted with him since he has been identified with our Territory, and among others who can see the many evidences of his foresight and public spirit We say nothing disparaging of those who preceded or have followed him, when We state that Governor Saf- ford accomplished more for the Territo- " than any governor we ever had, and there are good reasons for the esteem and confidence in which he Is held by our people. This point We should make stronger were it not for the fact that the ex-Governor is now in the city, and we learn that the report of his withdrawal is erroneous. This information we know will be received with pleasure by all the readers of the CITIZEN.
 The ex-GOvernor still has large and valuable property interests in the Ter ritorv. and he feels as lively an interest in all that contributes to the growth, development and the present and future wellbeing of Arizona, as though he dld not own a foot of land IL Florida He feels at home here and regards himself, as he is regarded by our people, as a res ident of Arizona. We hope he may con- tinue this relation, for when Arizona becomes a state which IS among the near future possibilities, 1t may express its appreciation of his valuable services in a more substantial manner than here tofore. Senator Stafford would not be a bad title to bestow upon the ex-Goy- ernor.

Shakespeare.

The starting up and the successful run made by the new smelter just erected at Shakespeare will make "red letter day in the history of that camp. The long struggle which holds back a mining camp and discouraSes mans property owners is over with Shakespeare.
 The period of production and bullion output has come. That is the most i'm portant era in every mining camp. It interests not alone the fortunate owners of the producing mine, but the owners of other properties. It demonstrates that the mineral will produce bullion It in- creases the value of all property, it in- vites the attention and confidence of capital to the locality.
 We are pleased to note that this time has come to Shakespeare. which We have long considered a promising camp only needing capital to bring it to the front.
 Its smelling ores of Silver and Copper will be a source of great wealth to the owners of property in that vicinity.

 George Phillips has taken a contract to sink the shaft on the Silver Cave fifty feet from Its present level
 We have been shown specimens of ore from the Nina Chiqeita mine, in Silver Camp district that surpasses in richness any we have ever seen
 A more peaceabIe camp than Dos Cabezas does not exist. Our worthy "Chief of Police" quietly patrols the streets, and silently mourrs over the lack of activity in his line of business.
 A number of men Lave been working on the road leading to the Silver Camp, the past two or three days, placing il in a good condition preparatory to hauling ore from that camp 10 the mill here.
 Thomas Hatton, Vim. Hanmore, John Casey and Fred Plum, have leased the Jumper mine for 'ponths, and com menced work or the sane last Thursday. It IS their intention to take out ore and have It worked as soon as the mill starts up. Messrs. Hatton and Hanmere are experienced and killed miners, 50 1t is fair to presume that this valuable pro perty will be opened up in such man. ner as to be shown to advantage to visi- tors.
 The Goldsmith mine, belonging to C. W. Barrows & Co.,, situated at west end of town bids fair to make a good mine. The shaft is down 30 feet with well defined walls of state and ledge, average two feet wide, the assays run- ming as high as SIzo in gold and S2o m liver. Work has been suspended on account of water and will be resumed again as soon as the necessary pumping and hoisting machinery can be had from San Francisco. The Pepper Sister mine, belonging to the same parties, situated also at west end of town, shows 1attering prospects. They have well defined vein of three feet in width that assays well in gold

nailr Prarers at College.

The New York Herald says: In his latest annual report President Eliot gives the results of the inquiries made with the view of determining to what extent daily prayers are had in the families sending students to Harvard. The ngures cover about seven hundred and fifty families and show that ttwo-sevenths ofthem doand five sevenths do not have daily prayers al home .As Harvard students are mostl from New England these statistic give some idea of the extent to which household devotional exercises there prevail among the classes from which college boys are drawn. They would seem to indicate a marked decline in the observance of this custom since the days when New Eng land was more Puritanical ifnot more eody than now. But it may be doubted whether any other part of the country can show so large a percentage of pray ing families. The purpose of gathering support morning prayes al college has m transformation was 10 aCertain how much the families .epresenJed by the students President Ehot's report does not say what conclusions, if any, the college au- ,hori,ies have drawn from the statistics collected. But on the punciple that ma iority vote rules the fact that i've students in seven are not required to attend such exercises at home would in itself justify and encourage the discontinuance Of compulsory daily attendance at college prayers.

! sa4 story About John and Katrina.

Aulcl= Lhdusasl uaLette.
 An old German named Fritz, who lived on Chapman, near Industry, made such an idol of his daughter that he would allow no one to see her. A fruit tree agent once persisted in showing some at tentiOn to the girl, and the man took a shotgun and filled him with pepper and salt. But no daddy can play that always on girls, and so young farmer named John Well succeeded in getting her out to place on the creek bank under the deep foliage of giant oak, where the court ing proceeded blissfully. The old cuss had to go out one night to see about the cattle, and discovered the couple. A rifle ball pierced the cOOIng roOster's brain, and his body was dragged up and buried in the garden. Katrina pined and died, and was bured beside the yOungster who had made all the trouble. Wells disappearance was the wonder of the neighbOrhoOd for eleven years, when a couple of weeks ago old Fritz passed in his checks" and before doing 80 made a confession of the above facts. He was planted beside his victims

THE SHALL Pox DISPUTE.

The question as to the genuineness of a reputed case of small pox is now being 1 tried in the Recorders court The cir
 cumstances are substantially as follows: 4 few days since the Acting Health Officer was requested to call on a sick man residing on Congress street He
 visited the patient and pronounced the
 disease mild case of small pox. With
 out declaring his opinion he telephoned
 to Dr. Lyford to go and diagnose the ease. The latter did so, and without
 knowing the opinion of Dr. Holbrook, pronounced the case small pox. Dr.
 Holbrook then again visited the patient
 with Dr. Gardner, who pronounced it the same. He then quarantined the premises and hung up yellow flag.
 On Sunday Dr. Watson visited the patient and pronounced the disease to be inhammatory rheumatism. As he passed out he removed the yellow flag. Afterwards he returned with Dr. Kane, who examined the case and agreed that # was not a case of small pox Going out, Dr. Kane removed the yellow flag. which had been replaced by the Health Odiler. These removals caused the arrest of both Drs. Kane and Watson yesterday, and the examination was com menced before Judge Bragg at the Court House
 Here is a case in which the doctors disagree.
 Small pox is one of the most difficult diseases to determine and doctors fre- quently make mistakes in calling small pox that which is not small pox and vice versa.
 The CITIZEN is not a medical expert, and does not assume to settle the ques- ton. If the doctors have erred the out come will settle the dispute.
 This, however, we do know, that small pox is prevalent m all parts of the country, and Tucson can hardly expect entire immunity from the dread and loathsome disease without taking all the precautionary measures possible, such as vaccination and the isolation of genuine or supposed cases. IL Is no particular hardship for a sick person to be so guarded that If the disease Is contagious II cannot be spread, and the safe side demands the isolation of all cases m which there Is doubt. The health off cers have resting upon their shoulders a weight of responsibility winch does not deyolve upon other physicians The cit izens at large hold them responsible for the safety of the city, and if they err il should be on the safe side. Better quar- antine against a dozen cases of other diseases than permit one small pox pa tent to spread the disease.
 We desire no unnecessary scare circu- lated over the disease for we are satis- lied that thorough precautionary measures have been taken and have no fears tha. the disease will become al all general m our midst, but we want no chances taken.
