 Il only three days, having fallen an easy .lctim to diphtheria. which baffled the .kill of three well-known physicians. Tla Greeley was born in New York in
 $50, and was therefore in the thirty .econd year of her age. She was ,ducated at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, Manhattanville, having graduated
 with high honors from that institution tt the age of eighteen years. After her academic term she embraced the Roman

An Essay on Woman.

Alter man came woman. And she has been after him ever since.
 She ls person of noble extraction, being made of a mans rib. I don't know why Adam wanted to fool away his ribs ID that way, but l suppose he was not accountable for all he did. ! It costs more to keep a woman than three dogs and ashOtgun. But she pays | you back with interest by giving vou a ! mousse full of children to keep you awake | all night and sme IT mOlasses candy over your Sunday coat.
 | Besides, a wife IS a very convenient article to have about the house She is | handy to swear at when you cut yourself with a razor, and don't feel like blaming yourself.
 Woman Is the superior being in Mas Sachusetts. There are about sixty thous- tnd more of her sex than males in the state. This accounts for the terrified, hunted down expression of the single men who emlgrate from the East.
 Woman was not created perfect. Sue uas her faults-such as false hair. and talse complexion, and so on. But she is great deal better than her neighbors, and she knows 1t.
 Eve was woman
 Sue must have been q model wife, for lt cost Adam nothing to keep her in clothing. Still l don't think they were Il bit happy. She couldn't go to sewing circles and air her information about every body she knew, nor excite the envy Ol other ladies by wearing her new win ter bonnet to church. Neither could she 1ang over the back fence and gossip with her near ueighbOr. All these blessed privileges were denied her.
 Poor Evel she's Is dead now. And the fashion she InaUgUrated Is dead now. lf 1t hadn't been for the confounded ~snaik' perhaps the ladies Of the present day would dress as economically as Eve Ild.
 Woman is endowed with tremendous fund Of knowledge and tongue to suit. She has the capacity for learning everything she was dIvinely intended to bnow, and a few extra items beside.
 Young ladies take great deal of stock n classics and iearn last
 When you see a young lady from Nassar with an absorbed look in her eye. and her lips moving, you under stand at once that she IS mem0TZiug d passage from Virgil But perhaps d closer inspection will reveal the fact that sue Is only chewing gum.
 A woman may not be able to sharpen lead pencil, or hold an umbr, la, but she can pack more articles in a trunk than a man can in a fOur-horse wagon.
 The happiest period of woman's life Is when she Is making her wedding gar ments. The saddest IS when her hus- band comes home late at night, and yells to her from the front doorsteps 10 throw out handful of keyholes of different sizes.
 There K some curiosity in feminine nature. For instance, l once knew q younS lady who could easily pass an- Ither one on the street without looking around to see what she had on. Poor thIngl she was blind.

 More IndIsE Depredsticrs.
 Special to the CITIzES.l
 CHARLESTON, April 1s.-News has just been received here that two Mexicans were killed last night by Indians eight miles from Hereford at the Point of Mountains. The Mexicans were hauling coke to Bisbee and one of them, the wagon master, named Pedro Flores, was a short distance in advance of the teams, when the Indians appeared short dis tanee from the road, and fired at him, ,~o of the bullets passing through his body and probably killing him instantly. The driver of the first team secured his rifle and returned the fire, and some Americans who were eamped about a mile below and within sight of the scene, say he kept them of for some time. un- til an Indian on the other side of the road and not seen by. the driver, fired and killed him. Also the driver of the second team escaped to the camp of the Americans The Indians took look at the Americans, but seeing SO many men, were evidently afraid to attack them. The Indians then returned, and taking a large stone, broke the skull of Flores, and taking five of the best mules, rode away. The bodies were taken to BIsbee. Flores and the driver were both from Tucson and well known there.
 The Cannou-canpben Case.
 WAsHINGToS. April l9.-The House by nearly a party vote has decided to proceed with the Campbell-Canuon contested election case as against the tariff commission bill.
 The Star Route Cases.
 WASHINGTON, D. D.. April 19.-The Star Soute cases have been resumed. Williams called on the Government to furnish bill of particulars describing all papers and petitions alleged to have been forged. Tue Government resisted and asked the c 'urt to decide on the re- quest as soon as possible. After some argument on forfeiture, Dorsey's recog- nizance was stricken from the records. Nerrick called for the arraignment of s. A. Dorsey, who pleaded not guilty.

A HANCOCK BOOM.

4 Hancock boom IS being worked up m the East, on the anti-Chinese ques- tion. The dissatisfaction with which the anti-Chinese movement was gener- ally received throughout the eastern States has led the Democratic leaders to suppose q bland and child-like move ment focused upon celestial subject might be prolific of happy results.
 In the furtherance of this plan the Chinese Minister to the land of Wash ington, last week visited Governors Island upon the invitation of General Hancock. He was accompanied by his Secretary. They were both dressed in colored silk and wore their little Man larin hats, with little red button ou top. Upon landing at the Island they were met by Captain GEenther, Com mander of the Post, and the other off, cers of the garrison and conducted to General Hancock's house, where they were formally welcomed by the General. As they passed the guard house the guard turned ont and presented arms. The whole party then proceeded to ill., >pect the Notifications of the Island When they arrived at the south glacis of of Fort Columbus salute of fifteen guns was fired by light battery. After the the salute the party proceeded to the fitch of the fort, where there was one of The Gardner machine guns. This gun is worked by a crank, and the number of .hots it can fire per minute Is limited only by the rapidity with which the crank can be turned. The highest num- Der ever attalned Is 800 a minute. The ,uu having been loaded and discharged and its mechanism explained to the Minister, he was invited to try his hand tt firing it. Tucking mp his vO!uminous sleeves, the Mandarin revolved the rank of the murderOus instrument with | velocity that soon exhausted the car ridges in the magazine. Then he said trough his interpreter: Good gun" After this the party was entertained at luncheon by General Hancock at his 'esidence. When the Minister and his ,uite left the Island they were ac- ,ompanied to the boat by a crowd of ,ficers. The guard turned out and stock with presented arms.
 Hancock Is the man who would have vetoed the Chinese bill had he been .lected President. Certainly

RERUKINa CRIME.

An overshadowing vanity seems tc doom the whole Guitcau family to ' speedy oblivion. The chief criminal will soon yield mp his worthless life as . compensation for the brief period of no- toriety he has seemingly enjoyed. His sister, Mrs. Scoville. has found OccasioI also to parade herself iEtoa conspicuous notoriety through au attempt to become the conservator of Guiteau's property. The mania has extended even toScUvills the husband of Guiteau's sister, who had barely finished his defense of the muI- derer ere he entered upon the lectur field, with hope that the nUtOriety ac- quired in the trial might bring to him a fine income. To the credit and good sense of the American peopl, let it be said that they refuse to listen t, tine defender of the infamous murderer, and his attempts to reap from the general public harvest of wealth as compensation for his services to tht slayer of President Garfield, are met, as they deserve to be, by the silent con tempt of personal absence.
 The parade of crime and the morbid curiosity of the -tmerican people t' learn that worst phases of human degradation have reached their summit of attraction, and it is very gratifying to note the fact that they turn away in silent horror from any exhibition of the disgusting details of so great crime as the one committed by the degraded speciman of humanity whose death must take place on June Both.

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.

The CITIZEN has already expressed the
 opinion that Pima county could give q bonus of from S2lOOO to S50,O0l to se- cure the building of a railroad from Tucson to Port LObos, and make money ID the operation. But" says some one, "we are likely to get the Lobos road without having to pay anything; let us wait and see" We will admit that such a thing IS possible; but lightning doe, not often strike twice in the same place. We have tue Southern Pacific and if that corporation finds it tn their interest to build from here t. L"bos they will do SO, not otherwise. We should see to it that 1t becomes ''their interest" to build from here. The most direct route to Lobos would give us 90 miles of railroad m Pima county, which, as We stated in a former article, would, with other taxable property that would be settled up, and improved along the line of the rad, add at least S600,000 to the assessment rolls Of Pima county. At the present rate Of taxation vi about three per cent. on SIOo it would give us a net income from that source Of SlS,OOO annually, winch would provide for the interest and sinking fund and still leaSe a balance of about SI0,- UOO year to apply to Territorial and county funds No intelligent man who can compute simple interest can doubt this. This estimate is at the minimum. It Is even liable to be much greater, while the benefits to be derived by our town and county in the increased population and wealth that would surely follow cannot be estimat- ed. It will readily be seen by the above figures that 1t would require but few years to pay of such debt; we should then have an income from that source over and above what We would have if the road should not be built. We are not in favor of lavish and unnecessary expenditure of money, but We believe that the iudicious eIpendi- ture of reasonable amount in aid and to secure railroads now will be "casting bread upon the waters"
 We earnestly hope that our citizens will wake up to the importance of the oc- casion and go to work with that will and determination which will overcome all obtacles. There should be no division on this question; every citizen, and es- pecially every taxpayer who has the future prosperity of our town and county at heart, should do everything in his power to secure the Lobos road to Tue son.

RUSSIA

The ostracism of race winch has led to the Inhuman oppression of the Hebrews in that unhappy country, is explained in McMillan's magazine as follows; It says the Moscow Ring are now the real Ministry. and their policy is fatal. They are patriotic Slavs, fnll of the enthu- siasm of their rising nationality. Seri- ons as their foreign ambition may be, it is not more dangerous than their reckless desire to exhalt the Slavonic idea at home by centralization, by suppression of all provincial rights and all variations of creed and language, and by exclusion and expulsion of all foreign influence, whether in the shape Of officials or ideas out of "holy Russia" The cry of "Russia for the Russians" will be more terrible some day, if it is not checked in tune, than the dream of fCOnstantinople. Itis this tremendous tendency which has affected Poland, which has crushed Lithuanian society and commerce, which persec1tes alike the heterOdox sects, the Roman Catholic population and the Jewish colonies and will annlhilate them if it can. It is the same tendency which makes a grievance of the appointment nf skilled English and Germans, though Russia absolutely requires them to tIain her own workmen, and of the small proportion of Slavonic names amongthe high places of the Army, although it is a proverb among tacticians that the Slav who is an excellent Captain or Lieutenant IS utterly incompetent in posts of high commanl. It Is the same tendency which is pressing even now for the abolition of the limited self-govern- ment which still prevails with the most excellent results throughout the OSt- provincen and in Finland, and which is seekingt to devise further tariff restric tions in order more effectually to "close the frontiers" against the enemy. It + the same spirit that gives defiant ring to the speech of Skobelef at the Geok Tepe banquet. It IS the same pressure -Courtly, sacerdotal, and popular at once-which half compels and more than half persuades the Government to re sent as an insult even the most courteous observations on ihe recent massacres oi the Southern Jews. The tendency l. fast becoming a crusade.

Is Friday an TnlnckY Day 2

There are two sides to every question. Judge ye. Daniel Webster was born on Friday, and on Friday just fifty years be- ore, George Washington was born. On
 his very Friday, was horn Martin Van .Suren and John c. Calhoun. Other Fri lays have been distinguished for the birthdays of President Taylor and Rufus fling, of Edward Everett and Tho1nas Carlyle, of John Brown and George Ban ,rott, of Franklin Pierce and Heniy LOngfellow, of Jefferson Davis and }harles Dickens, Ot Stephen A. Dou glas md Rutherford E. Hayes. Not only have he births of distinguished men occur red on Friday, but notable and sad events have taken place on this day, and rom all, it appears that matters take place on Friday very much as they are won't tO do on other days of the week. 1t was on Friday the Southern Confed-
 racy was formed, and President Lincoln made hIs way to Washington in disguise ,n Friday night. On Friday General Scott resigned the command of the United States Army. and on Friday Col Jnel Ellsworth was killed at Alexandria. Virginia President Polk and Tyler. President Lincoln and Pierce, with HOr- ace Greeley, died on Friday. So then, .t seems that the good and the bad come equally alike on Friday as on other days pf the week: and any view to the contrary has a strong smacking of heathenish su- perstitiOp.

THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
 NIT. Teller was born in Alleghany county, New York. on the 23d of May. 1880. He studied law and was admitted to the New York Bar, practicing m New York until 1858, when he went to Hi nOis- He remained there till 1881 Al that time Colorado had great attractions for men of enterprise. Mir. Teller found himself longing to go there and he went. He busted himself with the development of the country and took a iaudable in- terest in the admission of the great and rich Territory into the Union. He also acquired wealth. He was elected to th, United States Senate as a Republican from Colorado in 1876. This was the first office he ever sought or held. He began at the top of the ladder and was a perfectly satisfactory Senator. His senatorial term w"uid have expire in March 1883, therefore bis resignation as Senator and acceptance of a seat iu the Cabinet extends his public services.

INDIAN CREMATION.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin thinks he has discovered re- markable similarity between the Hin doos and the Yuma Indians, as shown by some of their customs The writer says he twas much struck, in reading a letter to the Bulletin. describing the mortuary customs of the Hindoos, with those practiced ir the vicinity of Fort Yuma at the present time. In fact, they are literally the same. So much has been said on the subject of the best method of cremation of late years, that 1 had been impressed with the idea that something equivalent to the heat of a compound blow pipe was necessary to consume human corpse, and yet I have seen three fourths of a cord of wood prove sufficient in the open air to com pletely destroy every vestige of an adult body, and have never perceived any mo- tceable odOr during the process. The body IS burned as soon as poss ble after death. Four post are planted, enclosing a space six feet by four, and ordinary cord wood, mixed with lighter material IS piled across it to a height of two feet.
 The body is laid upon this, and as much more wood piled upon it, and the whole fired. Everything belonging to the deceased, excepting live stock, is thrown upon the fire, even grain and food. His house is burned, the camp moved, and his name is never men, toned. His account is closed; there is no inheritance; no shoes to wait for.
 The horses of the deceased are killed and eaten by the funeral guests. The Yumas never eat chickens or eggs, though they raise poultry for sale; nei- ther will they touch pork or mutton. The mourning does not necessarily take place during the burning of the body, though tha. is preferred when practicable. Runners are sent out to summon friends and relatives, and it is not until all are good and ready that the pent-up feelings of the bereft find vent in a howl, lasting twenty-four hours or more, according to the position or sex of the deceased and the supply of horse meat Females are not violently mourned."

Globe Items.

The Centennial mill is running on rich ore and is credited with being well managed.
 | Mack Morris bullion shipment for the week ending April II, S5,22S5S; total to date, S57S,5641S.
 The many friends of Thomas West wool will regret to learn that he is still in the insane asylum at Stockton, and not mentally improved since he was taken from Globe to California. The Dundee mine has 100 tons of ore on the dump which will average S1OO per ton. The width of the pay streak IS two feet; of the ledge six feet. The Montana mine, northeast of the Dundee, has 100 tons ut ore on the dump which averages S15O per ton. Pay | streak is three feet wide; width of vein eight feet. Five hundred tons of free milling ore, mostly chloride, which will mill S9O or over in sight.
 The Buffalo mining and smelling company are busily engaged in hauling ore from their mines, the Illinois and BuffalO, to the smelter The anxinuslv looked for water jacket is supposed to be on the road from Wilcox. The Denora mue, we are informed bv by Mir. Brockman, is looking well-two assays showing respectively S215 and S400 per ton. He also informs us that the Centennial is yielding some rich ore.
 Chronicle.
 We learn from good authority that Ford and Booth have struck a good body of orc, resembling that of the SOuth PiO- neer. ou their mine, the Republic, near the South Pioneer. The ore is said tO resemble that of the latter mine, to be rich, and the vein to be improving in depth.
 Mr. Samuel D. Lount arrived in Globe Wednesday night from Phenix, to put in place the ice machine shipped some time since from San Francisco. but which k detained the other side of the Gila by high water. MT. Lount is determined tO have the machine in operation by May list, if possible, the enly drawback being the nOn-arrival of the machinery, which he expected to find on the ground upon his arrival. Mir. LOunt came over the Reno road, distance of 126 miles. in two and One-half days, in a buggy with one horse, and says the road IS excellent on the other side of the summit. as re- constructed by NIT. Gotten. of Phenix. and that with the expenditure of few hundred dollars on the eastward slope of Reno Mountain, the road for the whole distance from Phenix to Globe would be- come good wagon road.
 At the Mac Morris, large tank is be- ing put in at the GO0-foot level, ore paratOry to running drift on that level. The sinking of the winze from the fifth tO the sixth level was interrupted at a depth of seventy feet on account of water, which filled the winze to the depth of thirty feet. In running the drift upon the sixth level from the main shaft towards the winze, in about ten feet the water ID the winze was tappsd and immeditely began to fall at the rate of three feet Tn twenty-four hours. There Is every idication to show that there Is an immense body of ore on the sixth level. We understand that the La Plata Mining Company propose placing the old holsting works of the McMorris upon the Plata mine, which adjoins the MeMorris, and will in a short time com mence to sink on the main shaft of that m1ne vigorously.
