There has been quite q revival in
English opera in London, and a cores
pondent says that '.the day may not be
far distant wheni it will seem as absurd
to sing in Italian at Covent Garden thea
ter as it would to sing in English at the
San Carlo theater in Naples" The uc-
cess of Gilbert & sullivan's opera's is
due to q considerable extent, to the fact
that English is theS vehicle of express
sion and it is believed that a good COM
pany Ike the Boston Ideals, who would
start QUITO give Martha" EZRA Dia
volo,".sNorma,' and others Of the old
Italian operas in good English dress,
would meet with great success in this
country. At present the apparent de-
ixxhtin the Italian opera is the veriest
counterfeit in the world. It is simply
fashionable and those who want to be
considered what they really are not,
must yocierously applaud what is a
bore to nine-tenths ofthose who witness
its representations. No better evidence
of the truth OF this statements required
than that Immediate enlivenment in an
audience upon the introduction singing
in English, whether operate music or
simple and popular ballads.
The snobbery Of money is obvious to
everybody. It peryades almost every
locality to q greater or less extent. It is
no more CONSPICUOUS among millionaires
than among tens of thousands whom the
accident of fortune has placed in COM
parative independence. But a new
species ofsnobbery has arisen-the snob-
berry Of aculture"-or what passes for
culture. Its possessors are not always
rich. and frequently are deficient in
nearly as common as many people sup
pose-but they are often musical, have a
smattering of French, affect high art,
adore etchings, can draw little, paint
plates and saucers, are enthused.
with the Italian opera, and
are up in the little conventionalties and
etiquette of what is termed society. This
class, in many respects, is more often
siye the.n moneyed snobs, and is getting
more numerous as educational advan-
tagesS are getting more common. It is
almost invariably sycophantic to the
rich, while itcontemns and sneers atthe
rich and poor alike, who do not possess,
certain accomplishments, of but little
practical value. The cultured snob has
reached the west, and his antics among
his followers, are q source of amusement
mingled with pity ard wholesome con-
tempt.

More Indian Atrocities.

W. M. Breckenridge arrived in this city last night from Fronteras, Sono- ra. He reports that on Monday last authentic information reached that place that the previous day, three Mexicans and one American had been killed between Arispe and Bacuachi, and a lot of animals run of. The names of the parties are unknown. When last seen the savages were head ing north in the direction of the Mule mountains. The President immedi- ately dispatched fifteen men on the trail of the Indians. In few days, no doubt, this same band of copper. colored cut,throats, with their hands reeking with blood, and the animals stolen from the murdered men in theil possession, will be numbered among the good Indians on tho San Carlo: reservation. Well may the patient Arizonan and Sonoran exclaim, "How long, oh Lord, how long. ."-Tombstone Epitaph of the 29th.

"Old Timer" in the Arizona Citizen snubs the Star for crediting the thrift of the Navajoes to the present h. dian policy and truthfully sets that journal right in regard to their good husbandry and acquisition of property previous to and since 1847. We can vouch for the truth of Old Timer statement for quarter of century. Zebulon Pike, antedates our knowl- edge of them and in 1909 spoke of them as tillers of the soil and success full stock raisers and weavers of most valuable blankets, so compact as to be impervious to wind and water. We have known as high as S100 being paid for one of these blankets and have heard of their being sold at greatly beyond that price. In 1881 it was officially announced that their probable number was about 16,OOO, a decided increase on the computation of1S79.

AnoId Arizonan Wanted.

A late cable dispatch from London is as follows: The London police au- thorities offer reward for informa- tion of the whereabouts of John Me Cafferty, who was convicted of treason in Dublin ill 1867, and sentenced to penal servitude for life. McCatferty was born in Ohio, of Irish parents, and served in the Confederate army during the war of the Rebellion. He went to Ireland in 1862 intending to assist in the Fenian revolt, but was arrested at Queenstown, on board the vessel on which he iournied from America. He was tried at Cork and was discharged as an alien and returned to America. He arrived in England in 1866, and organized the Chester Castle rald, for which offense he was arrested in Dub lin harbor. He was again tried and was sentenced to death, but the sen tence was commuted to penal servitude for life. He subsequently, escaped from custody.
 McCafferty served as member of the Arizona Legislature from Pima County during the session of 1881.

The Profits of Mediums.

Helen Fairchild, who styles herself a medium, commenced action against J. w. Haskins yesterday to recover S25OO damage for an alleged breach of contract. She claims that while she was prosecuting her business in this city the defendant came to her and proposed that she go to New York with him to attend to any business he might present to her for prosecution. She alleges that the income of her business here was $50 day and that the defendant agreed to give her that amount each day for six months. He also agreed to pay the expenses of the trip and pay her living expenses while in New York. She alleges that she spent considerable sum of money in preparing for the trip and that when she was ready to go the defendant re- fused to carry, ,out his contract,--S. F. Chronicle,

Sergeant Mason, who attempted to kill Guiteau, who shot the President of the U. S., has, upon the strength of a potion containing more than mil lion of names, been pardoned. In reality his greatest crime was breach of discipline in trying to take the life of the prisoner whom he was detailed to protect. Mason's bullet would only have precipitated the death of the as- sassin who was subsequently, hanged and his bones stripped of their flesh.

It is estimated that the Indian res ervations in the United States com prise over 150,000,000 acres-234, 900 square miles. As there are 66,400 In- dians in the country under the imme- diate protectigf of the Government, this gives all Leverage of more than four square Eile, to each. This fact alone demonstrates the monstrous ab- surdity of our present Indian policy. The savages are not only fed and clothed in idleness and the "bucks" fatted for summer depredations, but a vast body ofifertile land is held from settlement. It is estimated that each Indian in the United States costs the government $1 ,000.-Ex.
 The profundity of the writer of the above is prodigious. By his method of computing, he has almost wiped out the aboriginal race. When Bar mum becomes aware that we have such quidnuce in America, he will doubtless engage him as an attraction for side show. And now for the facts. The number of Indians under the immediate protection of the gov ernment," according to official data, is 246,417, or 1S0,O17 more than that stated in the waif that has been swinging around the circle of news. paperdom. The aggregate square miles in the combined reservations is 243,091a or 155,57S,56O acres, being 1-75 less than square mile to each Indian. The aggregate agencies mum Der sixtyIeight, having in charge 246,417 Indians. Indians not under control of agents of the government 15,4A are principally in the Territo ries of Arizona, Idaho and Utah, ant the States of California, Indiana, Kar sas, North Carolina, Oregon ant Wisconsin.

The Indians are broken up into small bands and are scouting through the country in all directions. They are heading north, and it is thought that ere this they have come in body to Silver Creek to meet the soldiers stationed there to await their coming.--Epitaph.

Michigan children that had to go with
out stockings and shoes. and they took
the money there was in their banks
and wrapped it up in q piece OF

write on it: "To help buy shoes for

[A%ppiause.] Ever so many years ago.
two girls, one named Susan, and one
named Rebecca, were friends to one
another, and Susan vas going away
somewhere to make a visit, and she
gave the other girl, the one named Re-
becca, a tin box with thirteen quar-
tiers of a dollar in it to keep for her.
And while she was making the visit,
her uncle came there and bought hel
very good clothes, and carried hel
somewhere to 60 to school, and she
grew up and got married to a Captain
Of a vessel, and went to sea with him
in that vessel. The girl that was
named Rebecca took are of the thir-
teen quarters, and when she grew up
and her husband died, and She could
not get enough for her children to eat
five children-people said: why
don't you spend the thirteen quarters
you've kept so long," She said: 81
will not; they are not mine" When
she was an old woman, then people
said: ooh, Susan will never come back!
no use keeping the thirteen quarters any
longer" And her grandchildren said:
"Come, grandma, buy us something with
the thirteen quarters!!' She said: ''They
are not mine" One day a young mar
named Charlie came to that town to
see the house his grandmother lived in
when she was a small child. His
grandmother used to be that Susan that
never came back. She was not alive.
Aunt Rebecca said to him: "Here is
your grandmother's money-thirteen
quarters-in your grandmother's tin
box. l have kept them owe sixty
years; take them" Charlie said:
"You have taken care of them over
sixty years; keep them" She would
not keep them, and he would not take
them, and they sent them to the people
that had their clothes burnt in that
great Michigan fire. lApplause.l
My aunt says that sometimes money
makes people do very mean things.
She thinks we ought to spend some Of
our money, and keep some to give
away. Here is a verse she made. She
says it is not very good because she

There was a mean fellow named Benny,
Who had many and many a penny,
But would not give anybody any.
He spent every one for his W self alone,

Deep.Sea CuriOsities.

A very ingenious continuance is the
trawl which is ordinarily used for
dredging the bottom of the sea. 1t may
be sunk to a great depth, beinga@ached
to a steel wire rope four miles long and
is a canvas bag dragged on runners on
the bottom, which keep the mouth of
the bag in a position to catch and hold
the dredgings. On hauling the bag tc
the surface the contents are poured into
a great screen and carefully classified
and preserved in alcohol. Some of the
deposit from a half mile or more below
the surface was found under the micro
scope to be full of minute and beautiful
shells. A fish found at 600 fathoms was
fully able to resist the pressure of the
mountain Of water upon it, estimated
at 300 pounds to the square inch, and,
on being brought to the surface, the
fish's eyes protruded from their sockets,
and it was quite dead long before
it reached the top of the water through
the lack of resistance, which would
burst an iron plate, but which was nat
ural to the %inhabitapt of the great deep.
The fish had eyes, though its home ia
supposed to be as dark as E.rebus.-
