BosroN, September 24.-A special sent to
the New York Tribune from this city says:
The bswilderment caused by the with
drawal of Henry L. Pierce from the can yaSs
at the eleventh hour after his nomination
by an overwhelming majority was assured,
would have amounted to CONSERVATION and
panic had any less sturdy personality than
that of Congressman Robinson been the
Pis GilsT. The course of Mr.. Pierce is a
mystery that has yet to be solved for the
public and the true story, if ever told, will
constitute racy chapter in the secret his.
tory Of American politics. His declina.
tion has brayely altered the complexion
and tendency of Massachusetts, Republican
policy for the time being. His vote in
Congress against the counting of Louisiana
for Hayes and his personal affiliations with
the liberal
Independent and Progressive
wing of the party gave thst wing a prom.
InenCe and active leadership in the prepa-
tons for the campaign that it has not been
wont to assume OF late years. Mr.. Pierce's
backing out has left the "kickers' commit
ted to an orthodox not to say stalwart lead
er, conservative and eminently respectable,
with no feryent enthusiasm for Civil Ser
vice Reform and hardly a conviction of its
necessity. But their loyalty is undoubted
in view of the alternative of Buffers re-
election. Charles Francis Adams, jr.'s
steady refusal TO be a candidate and the in
trusting of he work of drafting the reSOlu-
tiOns to him to prove the substantial unity
of the Republican party las it was in
Massachusetts,, for this years work at least.

The ChiIdren's Cantata.

The Cantata, last evening, by the children of the Baptist Association, was very pronounced success, and evinced much earnesr labor and training among all connected with it. The town can afford to be proud of such work as was done in the musical line, and of such an audi ence. The house was literally pack ed, and though the hall is very large quite number remained standing during the whole evening.
 The "Snow King" solo by Ser geant Huber, was one of the finest things that music lover may listen to in a life time and was the gem of the evening. Misses Medbery and Duckham also did honor to the mu- sical profession in their duet, "He Left His Throne" which was very sweetly and understandingly ren- dered.

 The past brought solace sweet, The new year may repeat
 The happiness complete With which that year was rife. Good Bye, Old Year, good oyci We would not have thee stay. Thou dwell'st in memory

Whipple Barracks, headquarters Of the Military Department of Ari- zona, are abont one mile north of Prescott on the cast bank of Granite creek. It is a large frontier post, that is, so far as buildings are con- cerned. There are but few soldiers in the Barracks. Officers headquar~ ters are comfortable, not costly.
 Headquarter bnilding, in which is transacted most of the business of the department is a handsome cOm> fortable building. Enlisted men live in pretty good houses, shops, stables and corrals and all are kept clean and neat. Divers sutler store IS wei filled with goods and is favorite place for people who wish 10 trade or pass an idle hour. There is a telegraph office in the post also a signal station. Some people inn
 igine that there IS nothing to do around g post of this description,
 this is fallacy. Officers, men, em ployes. laundresses, all work with a will, at something or other As everything has to be done by rule there is necessarily q great deal of fred tape" swung around the circle of Whipple. The Post has good water works and fine hospital, and is the healthiest station in Arizona Just now the cost of wood (for fueD, hay and grain appear large, and they are, as these supplies are gen. orally turned in" by contractors during the fall of each year. Cons tracting was for many years a pay ing busine ss; but competing bid, ders have caused it to be anything but pro fitable. Owing to "sholt" appropriations by Congress, supplies have to be dealt out with care.
