STILL IMPROVING.

tis an old saying that good news never comes singly,' and the saying seems to prove true at least Hs to the copper mines tributary to Tucson. It has been but few days since an i'm p5rtant and very rich strike was made ID the Omega mine. which was immedl- atsly followed by a similar report from tleComanche. Next We are informed of the complete success Of the new dry smelter at Silver Bell and a strike of very rich ore in the Bull-Docer mine, in the Santa Rita mountains not far from tue Omega. The Columbia Company, which has taken hold of the Bull-DOeer and other mines in that locality, have a 3O-t0n shelter up ready to begin opera tions, and hoisting works were sent out last week from this place Both the Columbia and the Omega companies will begin 10 ship bullion at m early date, the former from Papago station and the latter from this place. The Sil- yer Bell bullion Is being shipped from picacho station. The working of these mines will give employment to quite an army of miners, treighters and laborng men. which will distribute a large amount Of money in our county. Taking into consideration our copper and silver mines, the prospects for the future min ing operations in Pima county are better than ever before.

TOO SAD.

It really makes our heart weep bleed ing tears of sorrow when we think that Delegate Oury is to be laid away into the political graveyard with Mastersou, Hughes, Purdy and Weedin as pail bearers and long procession of empty carriages to complete the cortege. Had he quietly suggested to the owner of the Demoaratic party of Ari- zona that lesser light could as well be sacrificed, and refused re-nomina- tion, we could cheerfully have over stepped the utmost limits of strict veracity and said that he was a good Delegate and that the Territory felt proud of him-iust such taffY as is always given to those whom it is policy to lay away in an idefinite political somnolency. We could have retrained from telling some things he did not accomplish, and from sending sharp shafts of burning truths into the inflated gas bag that has borne him aloft.
 Still, regrets are useless, and our warm personal friendship for MT. Oury will not be permitted to swerve us one iota from doing our whole duty in lift ing the burden of Democratic misrule from our Territory and in giving our people all the rights and privileges to which they are entitled.
 Again our political eyes are suffused with briny tears of sorrow.

THE NEW INDIAN AGENT

The change made in the agency at San Carlos is promising of excellent re- suits Hon. P. P. Wilcox, the newly ap- pointed agent, states that ID the man. agement Of the reservation there will hereafter be complete harmony with the military, and that both the agent and the troops will work for the best inter- ests of the Territory. The San Carlos agency has long been notorious at Washington for the trouble it has oc- easioned and Secretary Teller prevailed upon Judge Wilcox L. accept the posi- tion of agent and carry out to the letter the full intent of the new policy, through purely personal considerations. NIT. Wilcox found the agency in very bad shape, and would have hesitated in ac- cepting the appointment had he known its true condition. Reforms at the agency will be at once inaugurated, and absentees and returning renegades will be treated vigorously.
 If Judge Wilcox succeeds in carving out his clearly defined policy, he will de- serve the appreciation of every good citizen in the Territory.

Short Hand for the Blind.


 Dr. Arendts, the inventor of the sten- ographic system named after him, has finally succeeded ip arriving at most important result in the education of the blind. As will be remembered, the Ger man schools for the blind adopted about three years ago the so-called point type, with the working of which one has had good reason to be satisfied on the whole. Its chief inconvenience was that not only the writing itself but still more the reading of written matter consumed too much time. The Ides of utilizing sten- ograpby in blind schools has frequently been mooted among teachers, but hlth- erto never been practically realized. About a year ago Dr. Arendts made first trial with a thlrteen-year-old bind born boy, whom be taught the rudl- ments of stenography. Last week thls pupil appeared before Berlin audience, consisting chiefly of experts and persons interested in the movement, and then and there exhibited 8 surprising dexter ity in writing down political articles dlc- tated at random from newspapers, de- scription of modern Greece. etc.-pieces, ss fact. vbich an experienced stenOgra- pher, in fuls possession of his eY eslgnt, could not but have considered to be of more than ordinary difficulty. The boy wrote them as rapidly as quick pen men would have done, and afterwards read of what he had written wth re- markable huency, passing his fingers along the lines. The handwriting was perfectly correct, legible and even artis- the, and what is more, was accomplished in scarcely more than third of the time required by the so-called pOint-type. The subject is to be laid before the Ns- tional Congress of German Teachers, which IS to be held at Frankfort-on- Main at the end of this month, and If not immediately, can hardly fail to be gradually adopted in the schools for the blind throughout Germany.

Absinthe.
British Medical Journal


 The consumption of this seductive, health destroying liqueur seems to be on the increase, and Is now, according to Mir. Winter Blyth, sold in large num- Der of places in MarylebOne, for which parish he IS the public analyst and medical officer of health. It seemed to him, therefore, right and proper thing to chemically examine samples ot thls liquid, which WAS done. Abslnthe IS a yellowish-green hqueur, which contains, as a peculiar ingredient, a poisonous oh having a deleterious effect on the nerv- ous system; the oil IS called wormwood- oil, and IS produced ln nature by the Artemisia absinthium. Other havoring oils are always added. such as pepper mint, angelica, cloves, cinnamon and anis-seed. The color IS produced by the iuuce of nettles, spinach, or parsley; or, in other words, IS due to the common green "chlOrophylT found Tn all green plants. Most samples of abslnthe con tain sugar. The average composition of absinthe is ss follows: Absolute alcohol in 100 parts, 5000; oil of worm wood, .33; other essential oils, 252; su- gar, 1.50; chlOrOphyll, trace; water, 45.60. Alcohol causes drunken sleep; alcohol and absinthe combined produces con vulsions. The poor wretches gwen up to misunderstanding suffer from pecu- lar train of nervous symptoms, terml- hating in softening of the brain and death. The last moments of the absln- the drinker are often truly horrible. M. Voisin records a case in which a man was picked up in the public street in an epileptic fit. He was known to be a large consumer of absinthe. The con vulsions lasted until death-four days and four nights. During the last five or six hours of life the skin of the face hacanne almost black

HoN. H. M. TELLER Secretary of the Interior, was interviewed at Denver last Saturday upon vario4s topics. Upon the Indian question he said his policy was a happy medium between the Quaker policy and that of the military. He believed in disarming them and keeping them on the reservation, with the agent responsible for their good be- havior. He expressed himself in favor of industrial schools for the education of the Indian children, and will soon have In operation such institutions at the Pawnee agency, Nebraska, and at the Sioux agency at Fort Lyon, Kansas, where the unused government buildings will be converted into schools. He an- ticipated no trouble in carrying out such a policy, for we feed and clothe the Indians, and they are not unwilling to be thus provided for, and do not object to having their children sent to school. While there may be some people who consider the civilizing influence of edu- cation upon Indians as somewhat ex- perimental, yet the steadfast determina- tion of the new Secretary to disarm the Indians and compel them to remain upon their reservations is great step towards solving the Indian problem.

A SCIENTIST living in the East, whence all wisdom Is said to emanate, is trying to convince the people of the United States that rain can be produced arti- fcially. This smacks of progress, and the efforts of the savsnt in this direction should be encouraged. The people of this world want to be able to produce a copious precipitation of moisture at will, and also, when the cold bleak winds of winter brings the binding snow into ubwelcome places, to artifcially pro duce a tropical sunshine. The great want of modern times Is a scientific artificial equilibrium for all things a sort of a patent governor for dame Nature-that can be adjusted to the general or individual comfort of man. He wants peach blossoms in December, and hoar-frost with his July iuleps; he wants wisdom in boyhood and youth at eighty; he wants his virtues paraded be- fore the world, and his vices forgotten, and, in fact, he wants everybody to think him a little better than t'Other fellow. All these and other lesser min istrations to his selfshness are demand ed in the great inventions that are to crown mortal man with immortal glory.

ARIVACA, A. l., Aug. H. looz.
 FnrroR CITIZEN: Some days ago I ,.oticed an article in your paper in re- i,tipn 10 some statements which had 5,.gr made about the way in which s-,ericaps were treated in Sonora, in ,rIicb vou use the expression of native Americans Of foreign birth," causing t-7uble down there. Did you use that concession in a general sense, and did v1n intend to apply 1t to all foreigners -,rn- into Sonora or to any particular race: FOREIGNER.
 We did not intend to apply the eX- r-sssion in a general sense, nor to any narticular race" We intended it for the ra=s under discussion. We are not eai.e so marrow minded as that yet. We gre willing to accord to every man frs-ice. as every one should have justice meteI out to him. If he does right, he should have credit for it, if on the con- t-ary he does not do right we will con demn h-m the same as we would native born American for an unjust act. No sane man would condemn any man be-
 
 cause he may have been born to the East or to the West a few thousand miles. Every man of foreign birth who becomes a naturalized citizen of the United States has the same rights un- der the law, that native born citizen has. and IS entitled to the same treat meut by his fellow man. There are just as good men born in Ireland as in Germany, and just as good men born in the latter country as in England, there fore it would be folly to find fault with the foreign born of any nation. Good men and bad men may be found among al people. We shall always approve of the acts of good men, and should cer- tainiy condemn the bad acts of the bad men no matter from what country they r1me.-ED.

The ScnNilIeS

The long-threatened bill for divorce of Mrs. Frances NJ. ScOville against her husband George Scoville was filed yes terday in the Circuit Court. She states that on the 1st day of January 1855, she was married to George ScovIlle, and has had by him four children, three of whom are of age and one, Bertha Catherine, Is now 9years old; and since her marriage she has always behaved herself toward her husband as a chaste, dutiful and af- fectiOnate wife, but that he on the 10th of May last, at No. 70 Monroe street, shook her and twisted her arm Tn anger and with extreme cruelty; also, that on or about the 18th of June last, he agaln, i'll anger and with extreme cruelty shook her and twisted her arm, "and that at divers other times and places since said marriage he has been guilty of lll-treat- ment and repeated cruelty toward your oratrix making her life miserable" On this account Mrs. Scoville asks that she may be divorced and forever freed from the bonds of matrimOny now existing between her and her husband, and may have such other and further relief m the premises as equity may require. MT. R. F. Blanchard appears as attorney for Mrs. ScOville.

A Badness Spell.
Bradford News.

Two or three years ago there lived m the lower oil country a prominent oll producer who was a nOtOriously bad speller. In letter among other errors, he spelled water with two ts. A party of gentlemen were discussing this pecu- liarity in the bar-rOom of the Collins House, Oil City, one evening, when the poor speller himself chanced to come in-
 "Hello~ said one of the party, cor pulent gentleman, now remotely con nected with the New York Petroleum Exchange, i've were just talking about you"
 -'Is that SOP" was the reply. And what were you sayiDgY
 "Why, some of the boys claim that you are the worst speller in segeteen States"
 "Tbey do? think I can spell about as well as the average producer.
 "I'll tell you what I'll do with you, said the first speaker. "I'l bet the eham- pagne for the party that you cannot spell water"
 "All right" replied the producer, and he proceeded to spell the word, water"
 That's the way 1 spell water for money" he quietly remarked, but when [ spell 1t for fun I sometimes use two t's."
 The corpulent gentleman paid for the wine and the silence became so great that you could hear house fall down.

The Slave Trade in India.

Swedish missionaries in Nubia report that they have recently experienced much opposition from the Egyptian agents and officers in the Upper Nile valley, who exceedingly dislike Europeans on account of their hatred of the slave trade. A very extensive slave trade is carried on by Egyptians and Turkish merchants in the regions south and west of the Blue Nile. Troops of the wretched negroes are brought north ward in chains. Those who prOvr too weak for the journey are either abandoned without mercy, to perish from hunger or wild beasts, or their drivers at once cut their thrOats or stab them. The girls are sold to the harems of wealthy Egyptians and Turks, while the men and women are disposed of as servants. There Is also steady demand for male negroes of certain class for attendants and guardians Of the MahOmetan harems; bu6 the great proportion of these men die from the injuries sustained in the preliminary training for the duties of this office The Swedish missionaries have been compelled to return to hhartoam instead of penetrating sOuthward as they intended. The Egyptians regard the missionaries and other whites as spies upon and opponents of the barbanhes connected with their extensive slave traffic with the interior.

THE GREED FOR GOLD,

The greed of man IS often tue direct cause of his deepest woe, and the glut of wealth frequently obhterates those fine moral sensibilities so cOnEpicuous among men of the middle walks of life. The following OCT true tale, from the Ten Mile, Colorado, News, is fair illus tration of this fact. The names of the parties to the transaction are omitted:
 A curious story is afioat respecting a well known and highly valued mine in this State. The mlne, 1t seems, had ceased Co pay dividends, and the Eastern stockholders were at a loss to account for the disaster. They received regular returns from the superintendent show ing that the ore had fallen of very seri- ously in grade; but while the superin- tendent's report tallied with the returns from the sampling works, the mill runs varied very far from the assayers returns from samples. The President of the mine at last came to the conclusion that there must be something wrong in the management. He accordingly dis patched two experienced detectives to the mine to work up the case. They disguised themselves as mlners and en- tered the service of thecompany to work underground. When they came of their shifts they took care to fill their dinner buckets with ore from the drifts in which they had been working. Their samples tallied in value with the specimens which had been assayed, and varied from the mill returns from S300 to S400 per ton. Aided by the clue thus ob- tained, the officers of the company had their ore followed from the mlne to the sampling works to which it was shipped, and soon discovered that the sampler and ore buyer was paying forty to fifty dollars for ore which was worth from S400 to $500. As soon as the evidence was complete the trap was sprung and the ore buyer confronted with the proof of his guilt. It Is understood that he squealed at once, and compromised the matter with the company by paying over S400,000 and furnishing complete &C., count of the manner in which the oper- ation was conducted. The superinten- dent protests his innocence, but his story Is not believed, and he has been re- moved. The officers of the company seem to think that they have been robbed of something like a million dol lars in seven or eight months. The mat ter has been kept very quiet, and no whisper has yet appeared Tn print
