BL00Hs BROWN
Aud His Valiant SaIItes Upon a
Policeman.

The ardor of the great cOlOred mill
fitary chieftain, Captain r. 7. Brown,
has been undergoing cooling process
for two or three weeks past, and may
now be supposed to be "fris up" In
spite Of the rising thermometer.
Captain Browns first display Of
those valorous qualities. which have
made him solid with the gentlsr sex,
was at q meeting Of a society when an
orator made certain poetic illusions to
the divinity Of the female nature.
The Captain vociferously demanded
of the speaker that the poetic allusion
be repeated, that he liked it and
wanted to learn it by heart and let it
sink down deep in cavelet in his re.
verberating heart. Browp seemed so
determined to have nothing but this
beautiful sentiment and said SO, SO
often and SO loudly, that colored
Patrolman Randolph, who was present,
advised him to remain quiet. Brown
refused, and again interrupted the
speaker, whereupon Randolph put
him out, Brown grew abusive and
would have been taken to the lookup
except for the intercessiou of members
Of the society who begged Randolph
to accept an apology from Brown and
let him go home, as they did not want
their society in court. Brown grace>
fully apologized and was allowed to 20.
ALI this ranked in the heart of the
valiant warrior aud day or two after.
ward he made formal complaint to
Chief Davis, claiming that he had
been roughly handled without cause
and that Randolph had drawn pistol
on him. The Chief, after investiga
ton and conference with President
Hadden, told Brown he would not
prefer charges against Randolph
unless he Brown would
agree that whoever was
found to be in fault should be fined as
if in court. To this Brown did not
agree, and sought redress before the
Grand Jury. Chief Davis explained
the case 10 the Attorney General and
no indictment was found, at the time.
Brown then went before Esquire Elliot
and swore outa warrant for Randolph.
The case was tried and Randolph was
discharged, Brown being taxed with
the costs, SIT. Esquire Elliot re-
marked that if Brown had been on
trial he would have fined him.
Browns ardour was not yet cool. He
again went before the Grand Jury and
by some hocus pocus procured an in
dictment. The case came up before
Judge Greer, who ordered the jury to
return verdic: Of not guilty, as it was
frivolous prosecution. Browns eye
is bloodshot and his soul is sad.

IMPOLITIC.
What Vice President Burke
Thinks Of Clinging to Ihe
Corpse of the N. b, HI.

"What do you think will be- the
result Of the meeting of the Missis-
sippi Valley Sanitary Sooiety2" asked
the reporter this morning of Major
Burke, acting President of the Taxing
District.
The meeting has undoubtedly
been captured by the National Board
OF Health" was the reply.
You think, then, that the meeting
will simply uncork the bottled senti-
ments OF that asphyxiated board, or in
other words, that only the label has
been changed2"
II think the spirit Of the National
Board will. and is, controlling this
one, and | do not hesitate to say
regard the entire proceeding as wrong.
While l certainly entertain a
high regard for the National
Board, l am not willing to say q alone
is prepared to deal intellisentIy with
epidemic diseases. It seems to me
that the idea Of extending the marine
service so that it may be intrusted
with the treatment and prevention Of
epidemics is good one, and should
meet with the approval of all intelli-
gent men. The marine service is better
able to cope with threatened cpl
denies than such an organization as
the National Board of Health could
ever hope to be. Besides, tho marine
service can do it for less money. The
United States government has already
signifed its intentions in this regard.
and it seems 70 me the best thing we
can do to gracefully AOquiesce. Even
if the marine service could not do AZ
effective work, we cannot afford to
oppose the national government, II
is impolihc.

Cnveiling Of the statue Of Lafayette
at Lie Puy. France.

The unveiling of the statue of La
fayette at LIE Puy, France, Sept. 9th
was an interesting affair, not only tc
the country of his nativity, but also
to this, which is so largely indebted
to him in our revolutionary struggle
to free the colonies from the thraldom
of England. The writer is perhaps
the only person of American birth in
Arizona, who had the honor of speak.
ing to and shaking hands with the
illustrious patriot and general. AL
though fifty.nine years have elapsed
since then, we remember the occasion
as distinctly as if it had occurred yes
terday. His whole life was devoted
to the struggle for the establishment
of constitutional freedom. Conse'
quently, it was eminently proper thai
the United States Of America should
have been represented at the unveil
ing of the statue, by our resident
minister to that republic, Mr.. Morton
and that the flags of France anG
America should have been so conspic
uously entwined and placed along the
principal streets of LIE Puy.

The following is from the Silver
City, N. NJ, Enterprise:
"The San Carlos Indians raised
100000 pounds of barley last year.
Pretty good for Indians who used to
raise two or three hundred scalps per
year instead"
Without questioning the statement
as to the amount of barley therein
stated, we must take exception to the
reference to the non-production of
grain in previous years. The fact
is that 100000 pounds, or 5000 bush
els of barley were raised during the
year 1881, under the administration
of Agent Tiffany, and sold to traders
at the agency, at McMillen and Globe;
10000 pounds more than is claimed as
raised by San Carlos Agency Indians
the succeeding year, under the man
agement of Agent P. P. Wilcox. In
addition to the product of barley for
1881, official statistics in the Indian
Department at Washington places the
corn crop of that year at 10000 bush
els. The annual report of the Indian
Commissioner to the Secretary of the
Interior confirms our statement of the
product of that year not taking into
account the fields Of corn which were
destroyed by the military, camping
and subsisting animals on the fields,
during the outbreak of White Noun
tain Indians. The Indians are also
credited, by the department, in 1881,
with having dug twenty-five miles of
irrigating bitches, which were de-
stroyed by the unparalleled floods about
the 1st of September, of that year,
which entirely covered the San Carlos
and Gila bottoms. The Yumas and
Mohaves, living on the south side Of
the Gila, suffered most from the heavy
flow of water in the ravines on the
north side of the Turnbull range,
which covered everything, and forced
them to temporarily abandon their
homes in the bottoms. The Tontos,
on the north side of the Gila, lost their
dam and ditch, put in by Capt. Chaflee,
and another ditch was greatly injured
The Yumas and Mohaves also lost
their ditch and dam. The entire
farms on the San Carlos river were
entirely covered with water, and some
of them rendered worthless by depos-
its of sand. And yet the showing OF
that year exceed in value the product
of the succeeding year, which the Sill
yer City Enterprise finds worthy Of
favorable mention, and so uniustly
contrast. With thc prc"ioua harycst.

John Jacob Astor, son of the old
New York furrier, has in turn decided
his estate, which he acquired of the
old man, and its accumulation, to his
son, William Waldorf Astor, now

of the nutria and beaver skin mer-

remain intact, as far as practical, in
the family of the Astors ad infiuitum
Thus, by the plodding, painstaking Of

dispatch from Casa Grande says:
Apaches are now trading in Casa
Grande under the protection of a white
flag. The Apaches have sold chased
gold ring marked R. r. F. to R. F. NJ,
besides two good bracelets marked
"McComas." Geronimo, the chief who
captured Charlie McComas, said he
had not seen the boy since Crook S
fight. Intense excitement reigns at
Casa Grande. The neishborhood is
full of Mexican troops from various
parts trying to surround the Apaches.
A terrible combat is hourly expected.
We give the above for what it is
worth, without banking upon its re-
liability. 1t, however, may be true.
