soldiers held on Saturday night, Sept.
9, at the residence of Henry A. Dinges,

without whom our enterprise would
have been failure, are we profoundly
grateful, and more than ever convinc-

and sisters, the wives and daughters
of this lovely Valley.

MASSEY AND BARBOUR.

We this week nail to our masthead
the names Of the above gentlemen as
candidates OF the Democratic party
the former for Congressman large
and the latter for Representative of the
Eighth District. Although we would
have preferred another as our cahdi-
date for the first office, we defer to the
united wisdom and policy of the whole
party, and throwing aside our per-
sonal preferences for the good of the
cause in which we are engaged, we
shall give him a cordial and hearty
support. We contend for principles /;
high, pure principles, existing in the
nature of things, unchanged and un-
changable; not for this man or that,
whose mere aggrandizement can con-
fer no benefits on those who elected
him to power. Mr.. Massey has prom
ised to uphold the true principles Of
the genuine Democracy, and is oppos-
ing with all his might the Bosses who
are endeavoring to destroy the last
vestiges of liberty in this once proud
old Commonwealth, and for this every
Democrat should give him his hearty
support.
Mr.. Barbour, our present represent.
alive, who has been renominated with
such remarkable unanimity, is wei
known to his constituents as a sterling
Democrat of the old type, with abili
ties of very high order, and one who
has ever been true to his State anc
country. He is one in whom we car
safely trust our interests, and one who
will bring to his support the hones
men Of all parties. We now have oul
ticket in the field, and forgetting all
personal preferences and with an eye
to the general good, let us rally to
their support with zeal and unanim-
ity which will insure their triumphant
election.

MAssEYs ELECTION SURE.--The
Democratic party will cast its vote
solid for Massey. The negroes and
straightout Republicans will vote for
Dawson. But Malone will buy and
hoodwink enough negroes to go fol
his man to ensure Massey's election
by handsome majority. If the me-
groes were more intelligent, Malone s
man Wise. would not get 1000 votes
in the whole State, and the contest
between Massey and Dawson would
be very close and the result extremely
doubtful. But as it is, Massey's cleo
ton is sure by good majority.

paper in a shop-window, Gar

"God reigns, and the Govern

"Why! Why! This is blasphe-
nous! See!" he exclaimed, to
his companion. 'gt says, God
resigns His government at

A quiet little suburban lady
one day stopped another lady on
fremont street, Boston, and said,
"Oh, Pm glad to see you. I want
to make some inquiries about a
poor person in whom you are
interested"
The lady addressed looked as
much surprised as if also had
never been interested in a poor
person; but taking the proffered
hand, said" You surprise me;
I thought you had left town.
Let us step into this doorway"
AS they 'stepped in" they
came very close together, and the
philanthropic lady stopped, flush
ed, and said, "Pray excuse me
Pm mistaken; [ a1n very near-
sighted, and I thought you were
Miss A-the City Missionary"
"Indeed!" answered the lady
with big white pufrs. well l
am mistaken, too. thought you
were my neighbor in Beacon
street-till [ took a good look at
you. ] am also near~signed."
The two looked little morti-
fed, and Beacon street-of the
new style-smiled family and
moved on; and the quiet little
suburban lady smiled and moved
on too.
Serious results sometimes arise
from near-sightedness and it
should he looked after somewhat

people. Have our schools any
responsibility in that matter?-

mans order is as good as any one
else's."

you please"
The oysters were opened and
placed before him, and when he
had devoured them he said:
"Now take six oysters, run
them through a clothes wringer
to remove the dampness, and fry
them for me in olive OIL"
This order was also filed, when
he called for cup of salt and
water, added milk and sugar and
drank it down and asked for a
bill.

vance that am a singular man."
replied the proprietor. "YOur

to begin when the long-haired

The lesson seemed to sink deep
into his heart, for he halted at a
fruit store and, without any ex-
plantations in advance, paid tb be
usual price for banana and car
ried it off without asking the
seller to dip the ends in rose
water.

81 thought those signs on the
posts very singular for a cemetery,
but they are stranger still for a

at the remark.
"Why," she replied, "you GER

the girl was little provoked.

A very pleasing incident is re-
ported as taking place upon the
downward trip of the Mount
Vernon steamer this morning.
An old fellow stopped up to a
blonde with the complexion of a
rose-tinted lily-if one were to be
found-and grabbing her deli
cately gloved hand exclaimed,
"Why, how de do, Miss -?
Didn't know you were here. Is
your pa and ma here? When
did you leave home?' And the
manner in which she rose, its
superb sense of dignity and sat =
isfaction. and the tone in which
she said, This is my husband,

down the house upon any first

The Silver Queen Mining Com.
pany. of San Pedro district, are
preparing to ship ore to the Jes'
sic Benton mill.
The prices of horses at Phoenix
has advanced fifty per cent. in
the past two weeks, presumably
owing to the demand for them in
mining camps and on the ranch
es.
The next infliction the news
papers Will have to bear will be
the Twelfth Session of the Terri
torIal Legislature, which con-
venes in Prescott on the first
Monday of January next.
Governor Tritle has issued a
proclamation appointing Thurs
day, November 30th, a day of
thanksgiving and requesting all
Arizonians-good and bad-who
have any reason to be thankful
for worldly blessings, to sing
peans to the Supreme Being and
eat turkey on that day.
The Gypsy mine has been en-
corporated by Illinois parties,
capital slock 100000. 1t is situ-
ated on the McMillen trail about
two miles from the Cottonwood
Spring and about five miles from
Globe. The mine is not yet de-
veloped. About ton of $1S5 ore
from it was worked by II. Jewell
at the Miami mill.
The Citizen says: "The little
city in Arizona, but on the con-
fines of Sonora, is happily bles-
sed, so far as names are concern
ed. By resident Americans it is
known as and called Line City,
by railroaders it is called NOga-
les, by Mexicans it is called Villa
Riva, and by postmaster Isaac it
is called Isaacton; but Line City
and Nogales it is most commonly
known, and one or other of tn EN-
must eventually predominate.
An exchange says the follow
ing is given as a recipe for Tue
son hotel soup: "Take a pail of
water and wash it clean. Then
boil it until it is brown on both
sides. Pour in one bean. When
the bean begins to worry prepare
it TO simmer. If the soup will
not simmer, it is too. rich, and
you must pour in more water.
Dry the water with a towel be-
fore you put it in. The dryer
the towel the sooner it will
brown. Serve hot"
