TIE delegate ID congress from Wyom- ,ug is a wide-awake active man, who lets no chance slip to secure what be- longs to his Territory. While on his way to Washington the other day, he told a Chicago reporter, that "the most important thing be will ask for, IS that the same privilifes in regard to timber lands shall be given that Territory as others enjoy" That is exactly what Arizona needs. We want the laws which now apply to California, Oregon and Washing on Territory, made to apply to Arizona. As the law now stands we can not acquire title 10 timber land, and We trust our democratic friends will urge Mir. 0ury to see NIT. Post and try and have the law made applicable to Arizona as well. Mir. Post also says he will ask for Lew government buildings at Cheyenne. Government buildings are also needed in Arizona. The gov ernment pays out nearly S5,000 annually ID rents in Tucson winch could all be saved to the government by the cree ton of suitable buildings. MT. Oury has had long rest and 1t would be good for his health if he would now go to work and do something.

Japanese Social Life.

The lecture of last evening in the Lowell Institute cnurse by Professor T.. ;. Morse dealt specially Nf'l eIe suoiai characteristics of the Japanese. 4 most conspicuous feature Of their intercourse with each other is, be said, thelr p0hte- ness. No harsh words are ever heard. TO eagerness for selfish advantage, no indifference or f0rgetfulness of the feel ings of others. They do not salute by shaking hands. but by lowing, unusual consideration or cordialIty being ex- press d by profounder bows or more numerous repetitions thereof. The rich people dress their children in the most inferior garments in sending them to school, in order that the feelings of the poor children, who can get no other. may not be hurt by any contrast. There is no profanity in their language. A trifiing mishap or otiense IS uOt unfre- quently met among our people with @ volley of oaths; but the Japanese, when wrought up in his feelings to the high est pitch, never utters any stronger eX- pression than what in our language would be the exclamation, How vexa- tiousw They keep their angry passions under control, vet they do not lack fierceness, but make excellent soldiers. Their kindness to animals is extraordi- nary. The song of wild birds IS heard constantly in the gardens of the great cities. Birds of passage aliPht in the ponds and public grounds of Tokio, and wild deer come down from the noun
 tains and go about freely and unharmed in the streets of densely populated places. The driver of a vehicle will turn out of his course Tn the public highway that he may not iniure a dog winch Is sleeping in the middle of the street. Many other facts were gwen going to show that the Japanese civiliz ,tion is, in respect to reclitude of conduct, kind liness. sympathy and urbanity, superior to our own.-Boston Advertiser.

The Follies of Great Men.
Tine Houseboldl

Tycho Brahe, the astronomer, changed color and his legs shook under hIm on meeting a hare or a fox. Dr. Johnson would never enter room with his left foot foremost If, by mistake, il did get foremost, he would get back and place his right foot foremost. Julius Cesar was almost couyulsed by sound of thunder, and always wanted to get into a cellar or underground to escape the noise. To Queen Elizabeth the simple word "desth" was full of horrors. Tal- leyrand trembled and changed color on hearing the same word spoken. Mar shal Sake, who met and overthrow Op- posing armies, fled and screamed ID terror at the sight of cat. Peter the Great could never be persuaded to cross a bridge: though he tried to master the terror, he failed to do so, and whenever he set foot on one he would shriek ont in distress ard agony. Byron would never help any one to salt al the table, nor would he be helped himself;if any of the article happened to be split on the table, he would jump up and leave his meal unfinished.

GortschakoT,s Liheralism.

The following story of how Prince Gortschakoti came tO be regarded as a liberal III the reign of Nicholas is told in the October number of the Russksya StarinH, on the authority of the prince himself: "I never enjoyed the favor of the Emperor Nicholas tsaid Prince Gortschakoff.) because of the hostile re- lRtions existing between Count Ness l. rode and myself. I was at Vienna for many years without being honored by any distinction. The emperor's feelings toward me were heightened by the fol- lowing incident, which ID itself wus a.- together insignificant, but the conse- quence of which was that persons in the emperor's surroundings regarded noe as a 'hberar-et that time sad thing. When Count Benkendorf came to NieD- na, the ambassador being absent, hastened to pay s visit to the count. After few cold phrases Count Bender dorf, without asking me to take a seat, said, Have the kindness to order my dinner for me- quietly touched the bell and ordered the servant tO bring the maitre d'hotsL What does this mean? angrily asked the count. 'Is means that you, count, can order yOur dinner for yourself From this answer the count at that time at the height of his power, concluded that l was 8 liberal As the result the late General Meseuzeff told me that for three years the following notice was put up ID ;he third division: Prince Alexander Gorts- chakofT Is not without abilities, but he IS DO friend of Russia "-Pall Mall Ga Zette.

THE ROBBERS IN WESTERN NEW mExIco.

1 4h lEEN NEW IAEAlNO.
 For several months past a band of Id"Iess men have been lowering around
 the western portion of New Mexico and Olifton, Arlzona, and it is evident that
 pad men continue to congregate in that locality. They come from New Mexico,
 Texas, Arizona, Sonora and Chihuahua. and are the offscourings of tine territo- ries and states above named. No coun- try ID the world possesses better or more thorough and fearless officials than does Arizona at thIs time. The sherlffs Of Final, Pima and Cachise counties have not only arrested all criminals in southern Arizona, but have frightened tue would-be criminals 10 the eastern border, and while Sheriff Stevens, of Graham county, IS brave and fearless officer, the thieves have gathered around him so fast that it is hardly possible that he can hold his own, notwithstand- ing he has done and is still dolng every thing in his power to enforce the law. Governor Sheldon, of New Mexico, has been active IL suppfessing lawlessness m that territory, and has succeeded in | driving most of the criminal element to | the western border of New Mexico, who make their headquarters in Bernalillo | county. Texas has also contrib uted her quota. The hiding grounds Of the outlaws are believed C. be near the lIne of New Mexico and Arizona, where it joins old Mexico. The congregation of the thieves in this locality is of rather recent date, and the robbers are but just falrly organized. Hitherto their robberies have been of rather desultory order, and perpetrdted by one, two or three men; but they have now accumulated sufficient strength to undertake more iaring teats, as their work of last Sa,ur- lay, at Gage. New Mexico, proved.
 But the season ot robbery and mur- Ter will not last long. The country the 'Utlaws have selected, while it possesses many advantages to the successful ply ng of their vocation, has one impedi- nant which will render the field dan ,erous one for them to operate in, if it iocs not result in their destruction. IL s the scarcity of water. When a robbery s committed they often have many n.les t. travel before they can reach water. Every spring, water-hole, or ,rook in all this region of country, IS ,nown to old settlers. and when g traIl |, B once s5rack, the sagacous detective IT sheriff has only to look at his map .hich shows the watering places, and , f;sr following the trail of the robbers few miles can tell where they are head ng and send T portion of hIs posse head and strike the trail at some ont of he way place 20 or 30 miles away and [ hus save much valuable time Iu follow ! ng mp a trail which Iu 8 dry country ! Ike this. iR exceedingly diliicult. We do not believe that the bad lement above referred to will be able l o hold their ground for any length If 2 inc, even if no rewards were offered for he robbers. But with S3,0O0 on the s cad ct each man who participated in C he robbery at Gage station, the chances C [ capturing hem are greatly increased.

IrHinr nnh tne Crifics

What a mess the New York critics have node in trying Co analyzs the
 acting of Henry Irving. They wanted
 to appear wise unto their day and
 generation; but their efforts in thls
 direction so fer, have resulted inU nothing more pronounced than a visible slonga-
 ton of their owD Guricles. The English b star dazzles q em with the spleudor of his impersonatiH ns, and dazes them
 with the stranceuess of his methods. They undertake to dIsseci a character. but before they are half through tbe genius of the actor rings the cblnCes OF 1t so often that their analysis is con- founded. And so they fal back on con- mOnplsce compliments. absurd tropes, and trite generalties. The average dramatic critic can no more fathom the methods of Irving than could tle rustic the motif ot the picture wlen Le asked the artist how he mixed his Coiors. The famous reply of the painter is probably the key tO eX Hence n every art.

Peeullarities of Watches.

Watches are peculiar. You can take two watch movements, made by the same firm and apparently in all respects precisely alike, and yet one may run vastly better than the other ever will, even with the most careful adjustment Queer, at first thought, isn't itS The two watches are made SO closely alike that the parts are Interchangeable, and yet each has is own Individuality, as lt were, and one is, as [ have said, likely to be a markedly better time keeper than the other. Why is lt? Give 1t up. It's toe deep for me. Perhaps it's for the same reason that one of the two locomotives, built in the same shops, from the same patterns. by the same workmen, under the same superintendent, and of the same materials as near as possible, will steam easier and do more and better work than it's mate. suppose that 1t is impossible Co make two pieces of ma chinery exactly alike.

WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.
PIMA COUNTY.

PIMA tOINI1.
 Silver Cave.-This mine, which is
 situated near the head of Temporal
 Gulch, ID the Santa Rita mountains. was
 discovered last July. It is owned by
 Metcalt and Carty, who have already
 done considerable development work on
 the mine, and still have small force of
 men at work. We learn that the mire is
 looking well. The ore IS yellow and gray carbonate, and we are informed
 assays S60 in silver and $5 in gold per
 ton. The ledge is about 21% feet in
 width and shows the same class of ore
 at different places nearly the entire length of the claim. Should this mine
 continue to develop as 1t now promises,
 r IS the intention of the owners to erect
 Q fye-tOn shelter soon, as the ore IS free
 and of sufficiently high grade to warrant 1t.
 Franco American.-Them man shaft on this mine at last reports was down about 35 feet, aud still looking wall. The small seam of high grade ore, to which reference was made in these columns, had widened out to 5 feet at the bottom of the shaft, and the indications are that it will continue to widen. When depth of % feet is attained. a cross cut will be run to determine the width of the lode.
 Peerless mInes.-Another car load of | ore has arrived from the Peerless group, | which will be shipped to the Argo works at Denver for reduction. From parties just n from Mount Ben Nevis, We learn that the mines are looking as we'll as ever, and that considerable ore has &C., cumulated on the dumps.
 Arizona Peerless. This mine, which has been confounded by some with the Peerless group in the Quijotoa moun- tains, IS situated in Myers district, some B miles west of Mount Ben Nevis, in different range of mountains. NJ. F. Campbell IS superintendent of the Ari- zOna Peerless mining company. Mr. Campbell reports having reached a leptn or lJU feet, and has ledge feet wide, on which work is being actively pushed.
 Checker mine: Mr. Aaron Mason, says the Enterprise, will go down to the QujOtoa camp next week to make ar- for sinking well and start ng a force of men at work on the Jrocker and other properties in which he Is interested. He had sixty sacks of pre- shipped from the CrJcker and the iverage of the sixty sacks was over s600. If the Quiiotoa veins do not change with depth that camp , will produce as much bullion as did the 
 Emerald: We learn that Mir. Adams has recently visited this copper mine, which ies at the base of Mount Ben Nevis. n the Quijotoa district, for the purpose, [ IS supposed of thoroughly testing the character of the ore. It IS more than likely that work will be inaugurated on ! number of mines in thls locality soon. ( 3nt the first thing to be done, is to ,ecure sufficient water 10 supply the , amp. Then there will be no further ielay in opening up the mines of this district, winch the CITIZEN believes are lmong the most promising that have Fs,- ]
