Household Marriages.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 By the terms of family compact, made at Frankfort in 1886, sons of the Rothchilds were never to marry outside the narrow circle of consan- guinity. Leopold, the son of Lionel, was the first to depart from the com. pact, but he married as much money as he possessed, the Perugias being to Trieste and the East what Roth childs are to western Europe. Mar riages in the Rothchild family are stately in ceremonial, and are the subject of as mach talk as royal matches. Intefharriages with very near relatives is a recognized He- brew custom, and even before the compact of Frankfort, was an al- most invarlable practice among these millionaire kinsmen. An selm, the first head of the Frankfort house, married hls niece, the eldest daughter of Nathan. James, the head of ths Paris house, married his brother Solomon's daughter. Nathan. however, married outside the family, but he married more millions than he had then made. His astonishing success in London had excited the fear and astonishmert of his com patriot, Levi Cohen, one of the then potentates of the Exchange. Cohen suggested union of the two fam lilies, but after the marriage became alarmed at the apparent desperate ventures of his son-in law. lie pro- tested with the arch-specuIator, but received for his pains the character istic taunt: "You have given me but one of your daughters; it would have been good stroke of business to have given me them all, for they would have died great deal richer than they ever will be-" He was a miser to the last, and lived like a successful retail grocer.

A MAN named Peter Doland killed a young German named Peter Smith, with a poker, Tn Cochise county on the 21st inst, and so our neighbor keeps ahead of us.
 GOVERNOR Tritle was last night rendered grand reception by the citizens of Tomb stone. The affair took place at the court house. All the principal citizens partici- pated, and thus Tombstone has got alSNd of us again.
 The above grouping of items occurred in the same order in the Arizona CTucson) Daily Star of yesterday The first, pre-. sumably fact, is matter that no good citizen of this county or territory need care to be considered "ahead of" but the second is an event that inc people of Tombstone and vicinity may justly feel manly pride in, and more especially as the reception of a live governor has never bctore fallen to our lot. Tucson usually ahead in affairs of this kind, has evidently lost it's grip or is taking long rest. Perhaps the selec. iton of Mir Tritle as governor was not to Tucsons liking. Who knows?

The ore is of two kinds--leaf tin, and English or silver tin, carrying also 50 ounces of silver ana five ounces of gold. The vein is l2 feet wide, and shows on the surface for 1900 feet. The ore is pronounced by experts in Denver, Pueblo and Washington the richest tin ore ever discovered m this country

ACCORDING to the Bodie Free Press of March 25, a most important development has been made in the Monday mines, at depth of 642
 feet. There is a 4-foot vein of rich ore at a depth of 69S feet which av- erages s73.l9, and at 7l2 feet the average is $9236. The Press says: "the general expression of opinion among visitors is to the effect that the development, considering it's depth and position at the south end of the camp, is the most important that has been made for long time"

Silk as Bullet Proof.

An interesting feature disclosed in the post mortem examination to-day of Billy Grounds, was the finding of buck shot partly imbedded in several thick folds of silk handkerchief which the deceased wore al the time Ire was shot, around his neck. The other shots were sent with such force that they penetrated the skull yet this did not pass through thick portion of the silk handkerchief. Dr. G0odfellow, who made the examination, states that in a previous instance man was shot in the breast through a pocket containing silk handkerchief, and bullet did not pass through the handkerchief but carried it into the body. A silken armor may se the next invention.

Of Deeds that are Dark and Crimes
 that are Foul.

Early this morning a report was circu- lated upon the streets that man had been killed at Soldiers Holes, in Sulphur Spring valley, last night. But little heed was paid to 1t, as no person could be found who would father the report as a fact. About II o'clock, however, an EPITAPH re- porter met gentleman of well known re. liability and integrity, who informed him hat he had seen man from Soldiers Holes who said that a man had really been killed there during the night, in drunken ow. These were all the particulars that could be learned The mans name who brought in the report was not obtained, therefore there was no clue to follow the nan up and get at the facts of the case.
 ANOTHER ONE .
 Later, Mir. w. $. Williams met man on horseback who had just come in from sycamore springs, who told him that a tody had been found near the springs, or between there and South Pass Mir. Vii Hams asked fer the particulars and was answered that full particulars would soon be here with the body. If there. is any truth in either one or both of these re ports 1t may be learned betore the EPI- TAPH goes to press, in which evect the par ticulars will be given.
 Later. Mir. Walker, superintendent of the Sycamore Spring Water company, saw parties who came in from the springs this morning and they contradicted the report. This fortunately settles one rumor, and now if some one would come along and authoritatively contradict and settle the one from Soldiers Holes the community would be most heartily thankful.

rre-ery. Your Lamp Chimneys.


 The Diamond Is a Leipsic journal devoted to glass matters. and from that we clip the following bit of in. formation:
 Place your tumblers, chimneys, or vessels which you desire to keep from cracking in pot filled with cold wster and little cooking salt; allow the mixture to boil over fire and then cool slowly. Glass treated in this way is said not to crack, even if exposed to very sudden changes of temperature. Chimneys become very durable by this process, which may also be extended to crockery, stone ware, porcelain, e;c. The pro. cess is simply one of annealing, and the slower the process, especially the cooling portion of it, the more effective will be the work"

DURING the fight at Jack Chandler's ranch yesterday morning, our veracious contemporary says, Breckenridge sought the protection afforded by the friendly shade of a tree" If he had depended upon the friendly shade of an Arizona tree, he would not be here today to tell the tale. Our version of it was that Breck." relied more upon the friendly butt of the tree than it's shade, which is rather thin pro- lection from 45 caliber Winchester. Ten dollars he was right.

Circumventiug the Law.

SALT LAKE CIrY, March 29.-John Taylor, the apostle, Joseph Smith, and others, have quietly removed their wives to separate houses, think ing thereby to avoid arrest. Taylor's first wife only resides in the official residence with him. Numerous po- lygamous oiliceholders have also re- signed, and their places have been filled by monogomists. It is said no polygamous marriages have been eel ebrated since the bill passed.

CAN any one explain the lack of corliality in the Nugget as regards our governor? It surely cannot be on account of anything he has done since he was installed in office, unless it be because he has expressed a firm determination to put down the lawless element infesting this country, Tn which event the Nugget might lose some warm supporters.

TIE value of metropolitan jour nals is something marvellous. The New York Sun is represented by $50 shares of stock of which one share was sold the other day for $4,l00. This puts the value of the whole $1, $1,400,035-not a bad esti- mate for small daily paper. But this sum does not represent the value. This single share was not bid up to the real value. The actual price of the Sun stock is $5,000 per share, which brings the value of the entire interest up to Sl,750,500. Five thousand dollars per share is five times more than par value, which is sl,o00 per share. For years the Sun has paid five per cent dividends on the stock; so that one share brings to the holder $500 per year. At this rate of interest, $5,0O0 per share is not high price. Mir. Chas. Dana's income from salary and inter- est on stocks is said to be S15,000 per year, and Mir. England's, the pub hsher, is quite large.

 The records show that John Casey has sold the Golden Chief mine to P. R. Fully and others, for s4,50O.
 A party of capitalists from New Orleans, and other points in the South. are expected to arrive here the first of the coming week.
 We are informed by Col. Clute, who was in town last Thursday, that the smelter will be in operation next Tuesday, at the mines in the Chiri- cahua mountains, of which he is superintendent.
 MT. J. NJ. Ringor, a merchant at Shanghai, China, and one of the members of the Commonwealth con- pany, will arrive in Dos Cabezas in few days, to look at the company's mining property here.
 Messrs. J. A. Kelly and A. Fort louis, two of Tombstone's prominent business men, were in town on Tues. day. They remained over day while en route to Bowie, Wilcox, and other places. Both were sur prised at the rapid strides our camp is making iu population and in business.
 Mir. w. w. Tice, president of the Mill company, has written letter to the authorities asking for freight rates on two or three car loads of coal landed weekly at Wilcox. It is the opinion of that gentleman that coal can be delivered here, with saving of more than half the expense now incurred in using wood.

DENVER MINING ExposlrIoN

1t Is a settled fact that Denver, Colorado, is to have a mining expo sition to open on the first of August. The cost of the main building will be sl50,OOO, with other improve. ments estimated at s50,000. The general plan of the building closely resembles the new National Museum at Washington, D. C., and the DOT tion to be completed and occupied this year will be a cruciform, with a frontage of 500 feet and depth of 312 feet. These measurements will convey an approximate idea of the extent and importance attached to the exposition. Arizona ought to he largely represented at this mineralo gical show, and particularly Cochlse county. It will, no doubt, have an effect similar to the late cotton ex- position at Atlanta, Georgia, and will draw thousands of capitalists from all parts of the United States to wit ness the rare collection of minerals, inn proved machinery, and methods of treatment of ores there on exhibition, in which event the mining industry will be greatly stimulated by the in fusion of new capital.
 It is generally conceded by those best informed in relation to the mines throughout Cochise county that we have as yet only just begun the work of:development. Out of thousands of promising locations and prospects there are but about dozen produc. ing mines, where there ought to be q hundred or more, allowing for the usual ratio of barren lodges. These are Grand Central, Contention, Head Center, Girard, Good Enough, Tough Nut, West Side, Ingersoll, Stonewall, Old Guard, Vizina and Copper Queen. In this list we have only included those mines that are large and regular bullion or ore producers. There are scores of other mines in and around Tombstone and Bisbee, to say nothing of the Hua- chucas, Swisshelms, Chiricahuas, Dos Cabezas, Winchester, Yellowstone, Cochise, Dragons and Tarquois that might be put upon paying basis at an early day, were they worked in Il systematic manner like those first named. It is this class of mines that would be greatly benefited by rep resentatlon at the Denver exposition, and steps should be taken among tho mine owners to have them repre-. sented.
 The mine owners are not the oEly ones that would he benefited by such movement. Every merchant and mechanic, all professional men and laborers would equally feel the stimulation wrought by the infusion of new life and more capital into mining enterprises. The stockraiser and ranchman would be equally ben. eftted with the balance. If the pro. ductive mines in Tombstone are 10. day sufficient to support population of six thousand people, as many more would double the population and make the value of property cor respondingly greater. These are in controvertible facts, and facts that should arouse our business men to early action on this subject, A meet ing should be called by our most prominent men to consider this sub ject and take steps for a concert of action so that a creditable exhibit may be made.

smugg,ers or Cowboys. wh,chg

A gentleman who came Tn across the Sulphur Spring Valley from the SWISS. hem mountains yesterday, saw two squads of men driving band of about fifty head of cattle each, at a very rapid rate. They were making across the south end of the valley toward the Swisshems, having the appearance of having come from the upper San Pedro or iu that direction. He count ed seven men with one band, but made no count of those driving the second. He was at such distance that he could not jeans, and what excited his suspicious was the rapid rate at which the stock were being driven. It is more than probable that the cattle had been smuggled acress the border at the south end of the San Jose mountains between San Pedro and Fronteras, and the parties were making for the friendly Chirlcahuas, within whose deep canyons they could hide in case of pursuit. IL is sad to be . we'll known fact that most of the beef consumed qt  San Carlos comes from Mexlco, duty free, and is sold 10 the contractor at cores. pondingly reduced price. But small frac- ton of the cattle driven from Mexico ever re. ports to the customs officers on the border and pays Uncle Sam the duty exacted on imported stock. This is more the fault of the government than the people, for the reason the customs officers are stationed at distances from the line, as at Charleston for instance, which is twenty-five miles from the line Our Solons at Washington are guilty at times of saving at the spigot and wasting at the eung," our Sonora bor- der being one of the cases in point.
