 Now when you reach Macon, you go and see Col. Blank" they said to me at Constitution office in Atlanta. "Ihe colonel knows every body for miles around, and hell post you on every thing
 Thanks"
 But he's R peculiar man," continued Grady. You've got to strike him just right or he won't talk for shucks. He's strictly temperate. and yet you must take a flask along and ask him to drink. It's an old Southern custom, you know, and, while he won't drink drop, hell expect to be invited to. You can i'll the flask with water, and hell never know the difference.
 When I reached Macon prepared for 6 call on the Colonel. l bought apInt flask at drug store, and told the clerk to i'll it with something good to soothe a sore heel. I didn't ask him what ls was, but a suiff or two convinced me that sweet oil and tar formed the great CT portion. With this bottle in my pocket I entered the ColOneIs office and told him who l was and what J wanted.
 'Yes, sir, glad to see you-sit down. he replied, and bs soon as he had sealed his letters be turned and began:
 50 you want to know what we can raise here, do you? Well, my boy, you can say everything-everything. We raise wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, yams, and"
 Just then he looked over to the water cooler, and put in with
 "Say, Colonel, have a drcp of some thing good; put up by the best house here"
 "Thanks; that's just what l was hank ering afterT he replied, 6s he held out his hand for the flask.
 How I got out of there alive, l can't remember, nor can Irecollect what be came of the bottle, but there IS whol' newspaper staff in Atlanta who ma. look upon themselves as doomed men The Colonel took his quart daily, and | was put up job to get hold of my deaa body for a new medical college at Saya .

WE have more faith in the ability and the disposition of Delegate Oury to do right, than our morning contemporary. although that paper supports him for re- election and we do not. There is yet time for Mir. Oury to secure the passage of the bill suggested by the CITIZEN, under suspension Of the rules. No time has yet been set for adjournment, and the probabilities are that it will not be before some time next month. We be- lievs that Mir. Oury can relieve this Ter ritory from the effects of this fraud if he desires to. And We do not believe that he has that political covardice which the item in this mornings Star, about lack of time, is intended to cloak. There is DO time allotted yet for this session. and Delegate Oury has the grsndest op- portunity to make n record for himself We are surprised atths weak kind of po- sition of the Democratic organ on this subject.

The Pre-Historic HIners of Lake Su-
 neriOr.

The copper mines now worked ln Michigan, on the shores of Lake Supt- rinr. are situated on the workings of that interesting race, the copper miners of Lake Superior. Their excavations can be readily traced at 8 depth of from 10 to 20 feet in the solid rock, their pits, on the Isle Royale alone, covering an nrea of more than a mile and a half in length. Their hammers, frequently amounting to several thousand, are found in large heaps. Although they carried away an enormous quantity Of copper, and must have worked through many years, vet they seem never to have known that copper could be smelted, for they left all fragments too small to use, and the masses too heavy to lift, and no traces of the action of fire have ever been discovered. Some Cornish miners working recently in one of the | mines cut down q dead cedar. As they
 were hewing it out small but perfectly | formed hammer dropped from the centre | of the log. The tree was found to be nearly 2j0 years old, and had been dead ! hundreds of years. How curious il
 seems that the Cornish miners have come from the East to continue the work of q departed Asistic race, who came from
 the West at a period far back in the
 shadowy past

 A half a dozen well-armed lndans were seen a few evenings since survey ing Globe from the night on the south of town. It is also reported that two Mex jeans were robbed Of their horses, few days since, in one of the canyons, few miles west of Globe.
 There IS much concern in Globe ln re- gard to the Tewksberrys and the other inhabitants of Pleasant Valley. At last accounts they had prepared themselves for a seize, bus their situation ls bad one. being in a narrow canyon, and, as they will be attacked by over two hum dred Indians, their escape is doubt fuL

Some years ago one of the best Amer ican miners on the COmstOck was lnvlt- ed by three Cornishmeu to Christmas dinner. The invitation was accepted, and at the appointed hour the American, whom We shall designate as Bill ID thls narrative, appeared at the cabin occu- pied by the Cornishmen. \ tine meal was smoking on the table, and there was a generous supply of beer whisky and cigars. After ample justice had been done to the dinner, and cigars nad been lighted. the conversation drlitel into the relative merits of old England and America. The Cornlshmen were feeling their oats, and were very boast ful and vain-glorious. One of them said Ameri.Gn beef was not worth eat ng-nothvithstandingithe fact that nc had just got away with about three solid pounds of it-and that the beer was only fit to drown cats in. Another took up the strain. and asserted that one English soldier could, alone and unaided. whip five Americans. | Bill grew naturally restive al | the tone the conversation had assumed, but the laws of hospitality for time kept him silent. This last assertion, | however was more than flesh and blood could bear, and he fired up and asked his entertainer if he had never heard of | the battle of New Orleans, where General Jackson with 4,00O had licked q British force of S,0O0. "Ho," said the Cornishman. that's a lie" But" re. torted Bill, read history and you will find 1t to be a fact" "D-n your his ] torv." replied the Cornishman, do you
 lppose would read your bloody Hs,.4ricap lies" Well" retorted Bill lossing sll patience, "I'll give you al illustration of what one Amerlcan cal do" and springing to his feet, with thre,
 well-directed blows straight from tn,
 shoulder he knocked the three Cornish
 men into heap. Then, realizing vha he done and knowing that as soon a

GEN. sroHEkAN IN ARIZONA

The Los Angeles Herald complains
 because Gen. Stoneman's record in Ari-
 zona IS being used against him in the
 Calnornla campaign, and claims that
 his removal was due to the efforts of cor
 ruptlonlsts who opposed him because of
 hls sterling honesty. It has been the practice of every dishonest rascal and in- competent official who has been com pelled to leave the Territory to libel and islander our people. They always proclaim themselves the victims of a corrupt ring and martyrs to their own honesty. Gen. Stoneman in his official reports attempted to saddle Indian dev- htry upon the whites in order to shield himself of the results of his ignominious failure to protect the settlers of this Territory from massacre and robbery.
 These reports the CITIZEN repro- ducsd at the time and denounced.
 Gen. Stoneman used the money that should have been used to secure the proper protection of our frontiert,nsn in constructing works which were of no practical use. Indian nassacres. plum dering and outrsges occurred without interruption. There is no page in the military history ofArizona, not except ing that made by General Wilcox. that shows such glsring incompetency as that upon which ia written the record of General Stoneman.
 The CITIZEN at that time stated that all thst was needed was "ope man" to make the army efficient for the protec- tion of the struggling settlements in this then sparsely settled region.
 At last the prayers of this Territory were hoard and General Crook, whose return to this Territory as the successor of another incompetent is so loudly hailed with delight, succeeded him. The change produced magical results. Vigorous measures were taken to s1lp- press Indian disturbances, the Apaches were conquered and an era ot peace followed such as tho Territory had never had before.
 Look upon the record Of StonemRn and that of Crook and say whether Stoneman's removal was the result of the machinations of corrupt ring or whether 1t WAS because of hls manifest of incOmpetency. If it was the former, we hope it may continue to work | until every incompetent official is driven | from our midst.
 We give Mir. Stonemen and bis friends | to understand that the men who ss- sisted in his removal still reside in this 1 Territory: they comprise men Of both political parties, and they are we'll and | known throughout the coun- try. and all attempts to patch up his record by hbeling them will prove as great failure as did his administration | of the affairs of this department.

 THH apologist owns the Democracy of Arizons, body and brooches, and it cracks the lash over the heads of reoalcitrant members of the party with all the As- surance of ( political ring InaEter. It says:
 "rhe Democrat who threatens to aban- don his party because his own particular views and impressions are not earned out, is half way on the road to the Re- plblicans, md tho Soonar be finishes the journey the better it will be for all con cemed. A chronic growler IS more to be dreaded than an open enemy"
 Democracy is the most unmitiSsted despotism under the sun. ID it there Is no room for Independence of thought or action, and when member of the party claims to question the fiat Of the party leaders and organs, it is time for him to leave.
