Mrs. NIckersOn Sues for Divorce and
 AlimORy.

Mrs. Emma C. D. Nickerson few days since filed a petition in Washing ton court for divorce from Major Azor H. NickersoD. The petition sets forth the marriage of the petitioner to the de- fendant at San Francisco, Cal, on August l3, 1870, and their removal to Washington in 1879, and states that in July, 1880, the petitioner, by the advice and direction of the defendant, went abroad for the purpose of obtaining medical treatment for herself and of educating her daughter. After May 3l, 1882, the letters and remittances from thA aAfsndant. winch until then had come to her regularly, ceased. Numer- ous letters written by petitioner to him to ascertain the cause of his silence and neglect remained unanswered. SO that, until April, 1883, she was in utter ignor- ance of the reason for 1t. On the 24th of April, 1883, she received a telegram from her mother stating that her husband had obtained fraudulent divorce from her and had again married. Petitioner thereupon returned to the United States and instituted proceedings to have the decree Of divorce annulled, and the court on June l9, 1883. ordered the decree vacated.
 The petition also charges the defend ant with adultery with Tena Diller Car ter (the woman to whom Major Kicker son was married after the divorce was obtaIned.l The petitioner asks on these grounds for decree divOrcing her from Major Nickerson. allowing her alimony, the custody of their child and the right to assume her maiden name-Emma Cecilia Derby. Counsel for Mrs. Nick erson has also filed a bill in equity against Azor H. NIckerson, William H. Mathews and Tena Diller Carter, ask ing that they be enioined from selling or encumering the real estate or personal property of Azor H. Nickerson, in which she claims dover and other rights, and also that conveyance of the property on Dupont Circle to Tena Diller Carter on May 3l, 1883, through William B. Mathews, trustee, be set aside and the possession we held subject to the order of the court.

ME. KIEFER late speaker of the House
 of Representatives was recently in New
 York, and gave his views on the political situation in Ohio. He said
 The first man on the ticket, Judge FOraker, IS a gentleman of many accom- plIshments and stands very high in the
 State as a man Of culture and integrity ] His character IS unimpeachable. When very young he went into the army as a private soldier and came out of 1T a cap
 tam, with fiue military record. The republican candidates for Supreme l judges are men ot eminence and give strength to the ticket. The candidate l for Auditor Of State, NIT. Oglevee, Is serving his first term of four years in that office. lie Is an exceptionally good man for the place. He was nominated Dy exclamation. He was also private 1 soldier and WAS wounded Tn the battle of Chicl amauga. The rest fl the ticket
 Is made up of strong candidates. The entire ticket cOmmends itself especially
 to the energetic, active young men of
 the State. The party in Ohio Is without
 faction or division of any kind. There
 Is nc such thing as stslwartsm and half-hTeedism ID that State.
 "The Scott liquor law will, of course, be discussed very great deal in the canvass. The main provision Of that law which imposes tax upon the sell Ter ot intoxicating liquors will be ex. tensiyely nsed by democratic speakers
 Co influence and control what is termed
 the whiskey element in the state. But I
 think in many localities 1t will be ex- eeedlngly unpopular to deny the policy
 and ius;Ic of taxing the liquor traffic. l
 have very good reason for believing
 that great many who are.in that traffic
 are quite willing to snbmt to a fair and equitable tax upon their business. The
 moral classes, not to say prombitary temperance people. wlli be glad to see
 such law sustained. My own iudg-
 ment is that the Scott Liquor law will not do the republican party any harm"
 Il predict that the prohibitory ticket
 will receive a smaller vote thls year ID Ohio than 1t has received in many years although a very strenuous effort will be
 made by prohihitionlsts and democrats to give the prohibitory party vitality. l
 know that a great many who have here tofOre been chased as republicans, but
 for the last two years have voted the
 prohibition ticket, have declared that they will not support that ticket this
 year, and l do not thInk. therefore, that

The CITIZEN IS in receipt of the late Peter Cooper's book, just out, entitled "Ideas for a Science of Good Govern msnt" The completion of thls book, on the 30th day of January last. was one of the last acts of that good man who dld SO much for the poor in his adopted city. The book is made up of compi- latlon of ideas from intercourse and cor respondence with statesmen, divines, scholars, artists, inventors, merchants, manufacturers, mechanics and laborers. Mir. Cooper, in his preface, states as fol- lows: II consider it my duty to transmit them to posterity in book form. In our young country these toplcs-the science of good government, a strictly national currency. tariff and civil service-are of the greatest importance, aud must be regarded as the foundation for all gov ernmental superstructures. When this nation, numbering now fifty millions, can realize that before these three topics all others must dwindle into insignIti- canoe. she will have attained the higher degree of political wisdom. Over thirty years ago learned finance with our veteran financier, Albert Gal latin, who was Secretary of the Treas ury under Jefferson and Madison. About that time l corresponded with Secretary Robert J.Walker on the tariff. Since then l have engaged in large fin ancial, manufacturing and educational operations. This varied experience and my daily reading enabled me to think, converse, speak and write on finance, tariff and civil service which I tried to combine in this volumn" While the CITIZEN does not agree with the late Mr Cooper as to the conclusions arrived a., the book is well worth reading by all who are interested in the questions con sidered. It contains much information that will be of use both to the states man and the thinker, and coming as it does, from the pen of a man who was honest in all his convictions, it should meet with favorable consideration from those who read and think.

\ Degenerate Scinn

A San Francisco letter says: A ghast- ly tragedy which occurred iu low dive in this city last Friday night IS worthy of mention solely because 1t shows the inability of the descendants of old Span i-h families to hold their own against the encroachments of Americans, A young SpRniard named Sanchez, in fit Of Jealous fury, shot and dangerously wounded his mistress, pretty waiter girl in the saloon, and then turned the pistol agaInst his own breas', sending 0 bullet through his heart. He was di- rect descendant of the old Sanchez fam fly, who once owned a large ranch, now covered by the many fine residences in that part of the city known as the mis- sion. Had the family retained one quarter of their possessions they would have been mIlliOn1ires beside whom Stanford snd Crocker would be compar- atively poor. Bnt the land was sold or squandered, the family absorbed many American vices, and this son, good musician, contracted Bohemian habits, and fell to the position of pianist Iu Barbary coast saloons where, to the wretched music he drew from badly tuned instruments, gang of low pros titutes wheedled money out Of drunken sailors and veriant countrymen for rot gut whisky and beer made from aloes and nut-galls. This, of course, is an ex- treme case, but of all the old Spanish families who were the aristocrats and leaders at tho outbreak of the gold ex- citement, not more than a halfdozen have preserved their position and their landed estate on which that position was founded.

DON'T BE roo TASTY

Quite a number of prospectors have already made preparations to go into the Sierra Madre country in search of gold and silver mines, which are be- lieved to exist throughout that country. That the Sierra Madre mountains con- tam mines, there can be no doubt: but prospectors and others in search of the precious metals, it seems, will never learn that distance lends enchantment to the view" On the western border 1t seems that danger also 'enchauts" the hardy prospector, and to a certain ex- tent he takes pride in venturing into dangerous places. But, fascinating as the prospect seems, those who contem- plate going to that country should con- slider well what they are doing before they go into the dark mountains '' where, up to the time General Crook en- tered, the foot ofg the white man had never trod. The able-bodied bucks of the Chiricahuas are lingering about, and if prospectors should go in there now they would run great danger of be- ing murdered by the Chiricahuas as well as by Mexican banditti, who are known to infest that regloa in great numbers. The field Is a good one, but the time has not yet come to enter il. Wait until the Chiricahuas are gathered ID and the country becomes a little more settled, then there will be some chance of going there to return but at this time 1t would be worth a mans life to attempt 1t.

"THE CITIZENS policy on the Indian question Gf it has any) is 10 allow the politicians in the east to say how tht Apaches shall be disposed of, irrespect. i've of the wishes of the people of Ari. zona or their interests" Star. Such a statement from the Star can be account. ed for when We take into consideration the fact that 1t does not know from one day to another how it stands on the h. dian question. It is not strange then shst It falsiies and misrepresents the position of others. The CITIZEN Is abundantly able to take care of its pol. icy on the Indian question" without any suggestions or interpretations Of the Star. Our neighbor will do well # il succeeds in untangling its various posi- tions on the Indian question. Such loose assertions as we quote from the Star are not creiitable to any journal. If the Star has nothing more worthy fl being said it would do well to keep quiet. Newspapers as well as men are apt to be judged by what they say, and if the Star should be judged by what it has said, its palladium must sink to the lowest depths

NEW YORK, June 27.-Davies, tea appraiser, has completed the inspection of large cargo of teas, brought into this country by the Flintshire, and found that large proportion of it is grossly adulterated. He, to-day, pre- sented his report to the collector, show ing that he had rejected 3,l00 packages, which, if sold in the market, might have realized about S22.0O0. These teas con- stituted kinds of all cOlors, sizes and de- scriptions. Some were mixed with sand; some with gravel; others con- posed of exhausted leaves, and still oth- CTS composed Of dirt and paste. About 800 packages of colored Japan dust were also rejected on the ground of high color and admixture of mineral substances in | tended to make the tea heavier in weight. This tea was also brought to this country by water, on board the Flintshire. The collector and apDraIser of tine port of S' Louis have forwarded | divers samples Of the so-called tea, and sent to this city by way of San Francisco. Examination has clearly shown that the stuff was only wild leaves. indiscriminstely collected and dried and sent to this country to be palmed of as tea. This was intended to be sent to the part of country remote from regular markets and there disposing of 1t as tea, regardless of the fact whether or not of its injury to consumers. Davies said this morning that the new crop now ar irving overland appeared to be of good quality.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., June PA spe- cial says that General Sherman is a very unhappy man. A high army officer, who knows him well, declares he is not what he seems in his bluff and hearty interviews. In the first place he really hates to give up his position at the head of the army; 1t has been his sole occu- patton against melancholy or bitter domestic disappointment When he is settled in St. Louis, Mrs. Sherman be- lieves that she will win him from the friyOlities Of this life and get him to find salvation in the Catholic church. In the dull regions of St. Louis he may fall prey to his wiie's persistence, and, for the sake of peace, go through the form of joining the church. Up to the pres ent time Sherman has gotten along with out any religlon whatever. He said re- gently, ''I do not think I need any priests crutch with which to hobble the rest of the way to the grave, but can't tell what may happen in the future"

IT strikes us that it is about time for the Tucson CITIZEN to quit blowing about its report of Crooks campaign. All its talk about special alcorrespondents, cOurlers, etc. is all bosh. It did not have a correspondent with Crook during his campaign, neither did II have a courier from Silver Greek, and even If 1t did, 1t bur shows that the party, whoever he might have been, displayed a remark able lack of enterprise, for substantially the same news contained in the CITIZEN and Epitaph special conrier dispatch was sent from Tombstone to the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner by their telegraph reporter, and appeared on the bulletin boards of every leading pa- per m the United States hours before the "CIrIZEN courier" so called, reached Tombstone from Silver Creek. Give us a rest. Tombstone Republican.
 The CITIZEN was not aware that itIhad been "blowing about its report of Crooks campaign" Indeed, the CITI- ZEN entertained the idea that it had been rather modest in reference to that report The trouble with the Republi- can is that it has been blowing, and if we remember rightly 1t claimed to have furnished the earliest as well ss the most complete report of that campaign. The Republican Is usually wide awake, and does not often faIl to secure the latest news in its locality, but if it fur nished the latest news on the occasion above referred to it must have been Tn an extra which failed to reach us. As to the statement that ''substan- tially the same news contained in the CITIZEN and Epitaph special courier dispatch was sent from Tombstone to the Chronicle and Examiner" it has this much of truth in it. The CITIZEN re- ,urI Was suu uU tho nAamIurI Uy ,l-e writer hereof. from Tucson, and 1t was the only report published in any morn ing paper ID California, on the morning of the l2th inst The Chronicle did not have the report, until the 18th, and then by way of Fl Paso, but in reality 1t was made up in San Francisco from our re- port. It is true that the report was pub
 ished in number of the leading east ern journals but every one of them were furnished by the CITIZEN. No other dispatch reached the east in time for publication on the morning of the 12th. The statement about the news having appeared on the bulletin boards of every leading paper in the United States, hours before the CITIZEN report reached Tombstone. is a mistake, as no report except that brought Tn by young Smith, which could be looked upon in no other light than rumor, was sent east, on the l1th inst. Even the New York Herald report which was sent from Tombstone on the night of the llth, dId not get through in time for the 12th, and was not published until the morning of the 18th. These are the facts, and the CITIZEN Is pleased to inform the Repub lican that 1t has all the proofs and can produce them on thetshortest notice.

 CoLoR blindness IS much more con- mon among males than Is generally sup posed: but females are nearly exempt from the disease, which IS heriditary and mcurable. Dr. Jeffries, of Boston, re- gently delivered a lecture on color blind ness before the master mechanIcs Of Chicago, on which occasion many of the leading railway officials of the west at tended The Doctor explained that no connection existed between form and color; man having the greatest percep- ton of form might be totally color blind. Referring to the primary colors, red, green and violet, he said the greater number of persons afflicted with color blindness con founded red and green and recognized them as blue. He had ex- amined l9,229 males, SU3 of whom were color bhnI, and II, ,925 females, but l2 of whom were similarly afflicted. Ez- perts have conc,uded after very careful investigation that color blindness is caused by muscular action making a different impression on those so affected from others whose visual organs are in normal condition. Many of the most serious railway accidents are attributed to visual defect, and many people who are effected with the disease are not aware of 1t.
