1 An Earnest Warning to Prospectsrs tO go Slow.
 George F. GhiselIn writes as follows
 to the San Diego Sun:
 Prompted alone by kindly motives,
 l ask space ln your columns for this communication. hoping 1t may timely arrest the attention of any and all who are disposed to act under the intiu- | ence of the startling reports being cir | culated pertinent to the extraordinary | gold placers that are said to exist in Lower California am little inclined | to accredit such reports, yet accepting such as fact, there are serious and in- surmountable objections to miners ven- turing on such an expedition, and more especially SO, as applies to those going to San Quentin, the proposed point of debarkatlon on the Pacific coast of the Territory.
 From San Quentin, (which has no im- portance whatever, beyond being safe landing place) as far south as Fl Rosa ITO, e distance of quite fifty miles, save water, no sustenance for man or beast can be had. There water and perhaps little grass can be obtained.
 On leaving Fl Rosario the traveller T or bad country. the surface of the earth being covered with small, irregulRrly- shapen rock, and naught of vegetation, save varieties of cactus, rendering prog ress to man or beast slow and f8tiguing, if not dangerous.
 Along almost the entire route from Fl Rosario to San BOrgo, distance of nearly two hundred miles northwest of the alleged plaeers, little or no grass, water or food for man can be obtained, and unless well equipped with pack ami mals, laden with all supplies needed, the inevitable fate w1ll be perishinG from lack of water. heat during the day and cold at night. None other than the natives of the country, well mounted and familiar with the few water holes and all bypaths and cut-Offs, can hope to make such trlp successfully during the summer months.
 To those who are being deluded into the belief that there are good placers at Santo Domingo, the site of an aband- Oned mission some forty miles north and east of San Quentin, I have only to say. the result of labor there on the part of Mexican and Indian m ners has not av- eraged for years past as much as 5O cents per diem.
 From Muleie, port on the bay of the same name on the California Gulf coast. to the placers is quite as many as one hundred miles in northwesterly direc- tion, and there Is great, If not equal measure, similar difficulties present themselves, while after arrival miners cannot find water enough for themselves and animals, to say nothing of what will be needed for placer washing.
 \ personal familiarity with much of the territory of Lower California, Ire quent conversation with many of the res idents. and careful study of an official map of the country, warrant me, trust, ID endeavoring to stem the tide of nasty adventure along the route that can only lead to cruel disappointment and great

THE troubles in Dodge City, Kansas, between the friends of Luke Short and inc Mayor still go on. Governor Click seems to be disposed to protect Short, and invited him to return after having stationed company of militia there but Short does not consider it safe to do SO vet. The city authorities have posse of several men on duty, and the State had a company of militia on duty which is said to have been largely composed of the friends of Luke Short, but they be- came so unpopular that Adjutant Gen. ernl Moonlight has issued an order suspending the organization for the present. The quarrel, so far, has result ed in closing all of the saloons and gambling houses, which the State authorities will not allow to be reopened again without arrests. Dock Holiday and Wyatt Earp are still iu Dodge City secretly surveying the field. The town contains many notorious and disrsputa- ble characters, and it is not yet clear how the thing is going to wind up.

 BOSTON has developed "King of the Peter Tanks" He was not of the lower order of frauds, but did business after the ways of respectable people. His name is James Henry Langly, and he is the re- puted president of the United States con- struction and Investment company. He occupied four handsomely furnished rooms. where dozen young clerks busted themselves as though their work was of the utmost importance. These clerks, 1t has been ascertained. were con stantly coming and going and were made to pay premiums for their places, and were turned out at the end of a few weeks. The imaginary business schemes that Langly engaged in were numerous. He imagined himself 6 manufacturer of cars; run a foundry; a friction journal bearing company; sn elastic railroad frog company; live stock express com pany and Texas land syndicate. He was ready with stock of all those com panies, to sell to those who could be in- duced to buy, and the various kinds of stock held placed him in position to supply almost anyone who had money to invest in just such stock ss desired and being a Boston man, no one for moment supposed he was anything but what he represented himself to be. The reputed capital stock of James Henry was s600, 900; and the stock certificates were beautifully engraved which struck the average BostoniRn's eye and created desire in him to possess them, and not few bought of the beautiful engrav ings. But they were not worth 70 much as clean white paper, because they could be used for nothing save ''certii- cates of stock and as the certificates paid no dividends, and could not be re- sold, they were just little bit worse than nothing. This Boston operator also had the habit of inserting adver- tisements in papers of good repute stat ing "that any person who would invest SIOOO in paying concern would be given superintendency at s75 month" At other times he would advertise "agreea- ble positions to parties who would in- vest S2.5OO in the company" Five or six dupes have come forward SO far, and it is expected many more will turn up. The furniture of his grand office was bought on the installment plan. Of course those who contributed from one thousand to two thousand five hundred dollars were given some sort of useless employment, and paid thelr wages for a few months, but they invariably got dis charged upon some prete1t or other, their investment, however, became per manent Of course James Henry IS well educated, is a most sffsble and sgrees- ble parsonage, inspiring confidence in all with whom he comes in contsct; be is now to be tried on his merits. But, ! good gracious! who would have thought that "culehered" Bostonisns could have been duped by such a transparent | fraud?

ADULTERArED LARD

 charges are made in such distinct man.

 by such reputable firm, the members
 of which are also members of the Board
 of Trade, that there can be but little,
 If any doubt, of their truthfulness. The
 firm of Fowler Bros, "The Anglo-Amer-
 ican Packing and Provision Company"
 IS enc of the largest concerns in this
 country, and their meat canning estsb-
 lIshmerts at Chicago and Kansas City
 are the largest in the world.
 McGeoch < Co. charge Fowler Bros.
 win being guilty of acts of bad faith to
 members of the Board of Trade that
 lard named in the warehouse receipts is.
 sued by said firm IS prime, steam lard is
 adulterated, and that samples of the
 lard taken from tierces in their ware
 house by provision inspectors which
 was inspected by competent chemists
 and by them analysed, was found to con-
 tain tallOw, beefs fat, cotton-seed oil and other substances different from hogs lard, and that they represent the
 mixture as 'prime steam lard" wissa L. fact from 20 to 25 per cent. of the mix ture IS spurious. Fowler Bros. are rep resented to have several thousand tierces of the spurious lard. The matter will come upin the Board of Trade, and it is to be hoped that If the charges are well founded the Fowler Bros. will be pun ished according to their crime. McGeoch & Co. have, however. not gone far enough ID summing up the charges. They only say that Fowler Bros. are guilty of acts of bad faith to members of the Board of Trade" when the facts are their good faith to the board of | trade is matter of little importance in oompanson to the fraud, when such | spurious goods reach consumers, who | must pay for four pounds of brine steam lard" when they will receive but | three, and aD additional pound of stuff that should properly go into the vats of | soap makers.

ONCE Tn a great while we find jour nal that understands the Indian ques- ton in Arizona. We copy from the San Francisco Stock Report an intelli- gent view of the situation; iti as follows; 'Indisrs. who have doubtless been on the war-path. are slipping back to the reservations. After Crook has done all that is possible aud the Indians who have been raidIng the southern border are either killed or back again at the agency, the question of removing all Apaches-friendly and hostile-to the Indian Territory ought to be taken up and settled for ever. The Indians ought to go, for their own good and that of the white settlers. It is hard on the good Indians that they should have to suffer for the bad; but in this world that is the way, unfortunately. The good people of San Francisco have to pay for keeping up police, courts, prisons and all the expensive machinery of justice just because small per centage of humanity IS bound to be bad. Therefore the good Indian can not with good reason grumble at being transported to the Territory with the bad, seeing that he cannot control his murderous brother. There ought to be no more Indian wars n the south after this one.

We are told by gentlemen who have recently visited Tucson, that the citizens of that town are anxious to know how the Florentines feel toward the proposed narrow gauge railroad from Tucson to Phenix, via thIs place. We can assure our neighbOrs that the people of Flor ence and the Gila Valley are strongly in favor of this or any other enterprise that will give us railroad connections with the outside world. But they must be convinced that it IS a legitimate, bona tide enterprise and not simply specu- lative scheme, before they put their -houlders to the ewheel.-Enterprise.

A Remarkable COraet Player.

A dispatch from Erie says Miss Mag gie Knoll, a young sister of Hutsy Knoll, a well known cornetist, has gone 70 Cincinnati under an engagement to play cornet and violin solos in the Leipsic Orchestra of Cincinnati. A female cOrnet soloist IS rare enough, but the manner Tn which this young lady acquired knowledge of the ccrnet and violin is stIll more remarkable. Mss kuOll has been an invalid from her childhood, and few years ago was com pelled to live in bed. During the night she was subject to fits of fearful con vulslons that left her a mere wreck. In order to ward off these recurrent at- tacks, of nervous origin, it was sought to divert her mind from herself and her surroundings by giving her brother Hutsy's cOrnet or violin. Finding that her attempt to play partially effected this the course was continued. and dur ing the long nights the young lady would be practicing on one or the other of these instruments. In course of time she became remarkable fine player, rivaling her brother in many things. Her recovery was gradually brought about, and her fame having ex- tended abroad has resulted in the engagement mentioned. She Is 2l years old Cleveland Leader.

Fun Text of the Document Which has Gre
 ated a CommotiOn.
 The following is a full text of the cir cular addressed by the Holy See to the Irish bishops, and dispatched from Rome to each of them on the l1th in- stant:
 Whatever may be the case as regards NIr. Parnell himself and his objects, 1t is at all events proved that many of his followers have on many occasions adopt ed hue of conduct Tn open cOntradlo- ton to the rules laid down by the supreme pOntiff of Dublin, and contain ed in the instructions sent to the Irish bishops by this sacred congregation, and unanimously accepted by them at their recent meeting at Dublin. IL is true that, according to those instructions, 1t IS lawful for the Irish tO seek redress for their grievances and to strive for their rights; but always at the same time observing the divine maxim to seek first the kingdom of God aud his justice, and remembering also that ir IS wicked to further any cause, no matter how just. by illegal means.
 It Is therefore the duty of all the clergy, and especially of the bishops, to curb the excited feelings of the mutt itude, and to take every opportunity with timely exhOrtatiOnS to recall them to the justice and moderation which are necessary in all things, that SO they may not be led away by greed of gain to mistake evil for good, or to place their hopes of public pros perity in the shape of criminal acts. Hence 1t follows that it is not permitted to any of the clergy to depart from these rules themselves, or to take part in or in any way promote movements incou- sistent with prudence and with the duty Of calming mems minds. It IS certainly not forbidden to collect for the relief of distress in Ireland; but at the same time the aforesaid apostolic mandates ab- solutely condemn such collections as are raised to intame popular passions, and to be used as a means for leading men into rebellion against the laws. Above all things, they, the clergy, must hold themselves alOOf from such subscriptions when 1t IS plain that hatred and dissensions are aroused by them, that distinguished persons are loaded with insults, that never in any way are censures pronounced against the crimes and murders with which wicked men sustain themselves, and specially when 1t IS asserted that the measure Of true patriotism IS in propor- ton to the amount of money given or reiused-so as to bring the people under the pressure of intimidation.
 In these circumstances it must be evident to your lOrdship that the collec- ton called the "Parnel testimonial fund.- cannot be approved by this sacred congregation; and consequently it cannot be tolerated that any ecclesias- tic, much less bishop. should take any part whatever in recommending or promoting 1t. Meanwhile We pray God long to preserve your lOrdship.
