Once upon time, if history be true
the frog-eating Frenchman went to war
with the pig-tailed, opium smoking Chi
naman. The army of the latter was
armed only with rude bows and arrows
and enjoyed no discipline to speak of.
The Frenchman thoroughly licked the
Chinaman, and the French army return
ed VIGOROUSLY to Paris with beating
drums and flying banners. Now all is
changed. Circumstances alter cases. The
Chinese army is well equipped with the
latest improved neutrality-suspicious.. They
are about five to one of the Frenchmen,
their discipline and drill are excellent,
and they are spelling for shindy, and
hence the frog-eater is skittish. Illus
tration: A little man had threatened to
whip big man. Whip in hand he en-
tered restaurant where the big man
was dining, but after short survey Of
the back of his enemy he retreated, and
when asked why he had not carried his
direfll threat into execution, he replied:
ooh, pshaw! that fellow is twice as big
as he was yesterday" A similar senti-
ment appears to be just now actuating
the willy French. China looms up in
far grander proportions than when arm
ed with bows and arrows, and ready to
light out over the landscape at the first
roll of French musketrv.

It's tritc saying that "Fools give
feasts, and would we could as truth
fully give the balance of the quota
ton as applying to the Tucson Crook
banquet, June 22a, which is, ''and
wise men eat them" Toasts, speeches,
mirth, music, wine, women and wit,
greeted the eye in startling head lines
of the columns of the Citizen June 23,
1883, announcing that banquet had
been given which was especially
gotten up in honor of General Crook,
and to which 120 persons were in
yited. lnasmueh as that number rep
resented but one in hundred of the
residents of that city, the council, to
whom the bills were presented, have
properly sefttsod to pay for a supper
from which so large majority of their
constituents had been excluded, and
who, as exempiifed by the action of
Levin Park meeting, called to endorse
Gen. Crook, were opposed to any such
demonstration. The banquet, if we
can judge from the amount of some of
the bills presented, must have been q
grand affair. One, Paul Maroney's,
alone was $725. What the amount of
the residue is we have no means of
computing. This sequel to the ban
quet BELTS its inception. 1t was a
strained affair, and was not endorsed
by the people Of Tucson. Mr.. Enricht

Harper's Weekly is illuminated with
Crooks mythical battle field in the
Sierra Madre. 1t presents weird as
pect, so wildly grand, and so sugges-
tive of death, that one instinctively
looks for buzzards on a blasted limb,
and then for the dead and wounded
there being none, accounts for the alb
sence of the buzzards. The steep as
cent showing pack train toiling up
and up the side of a cloud-capped
mountain, reminds one Of where Alps
on Alps arise, and where all is desola-
ton, and the identical side-cut by
which the first Napoleon, the Nestor
Of his race, was. enabled to cross the
Noric Alps, and force the Emperor of
Austria to throw up the sponge, and
sign the treaty of Leoben. Grand as
this picture is, the artist would have
produced more stiking effect had he
not tumbled the mule and -four into
the yawning gulch, and instead hung
a three-quarter moon, peeping from
rifted clouds, over the top of an i'm
provised Matterhorn of so substantial
form as to convey the idea that he
had placed it there to stay. Such a
monolith would have produced such a
striking effect as to have justified the
artist in saving the mule and its pack
of grub to the government, and the
necessity for board of survey, or the
averment of an affidavit man. An
artist is allowed great latitude in the
creation Of an historical picture, and
thereforefore he is to be commended,
in this instance, for exalting buttes,
over which the pack train passed, into
a recognized mountain of such shape,
and peculiar steepness as to rivet its
outline upon the mind of those who
have had the good fortune to have
seen it, in Harper's.

The threatened eruption of Y

The threatened eruption of Vesu-
vius, following so close the terrible
earthquake on the island of Ischia,
which destroyed so ntahy lives, is suf-
ficient cause for grave alarm among
the people inhabiting the plain Of
Campenia. A recent dispatch from
Naples states that lava was descend
ing from the crater In the direction of
Tore del Grece, at the southwest foot
of the mountain, and that the inhabi-
tant were fleeing for their lives. This
town was destroyed by an earthquake
in June, 1894, when a stream of lava,
estimated to have contained 46,00OO00
cubic feet, broke over it, and poured
into the sea in mass / ,204 feet wide,
and Is feet high. Thousands of lives
were lost by this eruption. The town
was rebuilt, and for long time has
been favorite suburban resort for
wealthy Neapolitans and foreigners.
The last eruption occurred June 1876,
but the inhabitants were notified of
the impending danger by Professor
Palmeri, who has an observatory on
the mountain, and sought safety.
The beautiful city of Naples, with ITS
100000 inhabitants, would be in i'm
minent danger should the present
eruption continue, and there are those
who predict that the city will even
tually meet the fate of Herculaneum
and Pompeii. AS soldiers, familiar
with danger, become Indifferent, so
we presume do the people living un-
der the shadow of Vesuvius, forget the
peril which continually threatens
them.

The Clifton Trouble.

In our last issue we simply referred
to the fact that an assault had been
made, by unknown parties, at Clifton,
on Col. George, formerly resident of
Globe, by which he suffered considera-
BILE violence. The Clarion of the 1st
inst, and the Lordsburg Advance of
the 4th acquaint us with the particu-
lars, and it now appears that most
dastardly and brutal outrage has been
committed. The facts as given by the
Advance are these:
For some time there has been more
or less trouble at Clifton, between the
mine owners claiming the town site
and parties who are sQuatting on the
land.
During last week miner named
Farrel, jumped place near the super
,intendent's house. The superinten-
dent, whose name is Campbell, caused
a party Of employees to eject Farrell by
force. Farrell determined to have re-
course to law, but Campbell to stop
this, concluded to force Farrell and his
attorney, Col. George, to leave, and for
this purpose raised a lot of men en-
ployed at the mines, but a friend of
Farrel's learning their plans, warned
him of their coming, but being man
not easily frightened, he went to meet
them and by appealing to their SYM
pathies as fellow workmen, and de-
claring that,if Campbell or the com
pary, could show any patent or legal
title to the land he would vacate. BY
this means he managed to escape in
jury or mistreatment; but just at this
time, when the affair was about to be
settled without any overt act, one Of
the Campbell party fired a shot at
Farrell, and he returned the fire, but
as no one was hurt the affair rested
until Campbell had Farrell arrested for
discharging fire arms, and one of his
friends named Denton for disturbing
the peace. Farrell, in retaliation, had
the man who fired at him taken into
custody charged with an attempt to
kill; employing Col. George to prose-
cute. This caused the Campbell party
who feared nothing so much as an in
.vestigation before the courts, to con.
clude to run Farrell and his legal ad-
wiser out of town. They organized a
party Of the employees of the company
and started to hunt them up, they
found Col. George and dragged him
across the river and ordered him to
leave at once under penalty of being
hanged. He promptly refused to go,
saying, that he had not violated any
law, and asserted his rights as an
American citizen. Upon hearing this,
they knocked him senseless and coated
him with tar Col. George is suffering
from their mistreatment. Besides
their personal violence, the tar in dry
ing, caused the skin to crack, causing
intense pain.
The particulars, as stated by the
Clarion, are materially the same, al
though it does not give the names of
the parties who perpetrated the out
rage. Such acts of violence, when re-
course can be had to law to settle the
claims, should be severely denounced.
The act was still more rephensible be-
cause Mr. ~GA0rsse-was simply acting
as attorney for Farrell, and in all
countries it is recognized as a lawyers
privilege that be. be allowed to defend
whomsoeyer he plcases. We hope
that the guilty parties will beprompt-
ly prosecuted, and summarily dealt
with, as an example to those who have
so little regard for law.

Singular circumstances.

Last weeks Miner contains the
following: 'H. H. White, who has
been working on the Dunkirk mine for
sometime past, last Sunday, while
reading the Bible under the large pines
east of the mine about half a mile, be-
coming absorbed in thought, uncon-
sciously dropped the Holy Book from
his hands in such way that it fell over
a precipice about fifty feet high. De-
scending into the canyon to recover it,
Mr.. White found it lying face upward,
open at the Gospel Of st. Matthew,
Chapter VII, while a large piece Of
rich quartz, which had been dislodged
by its fall lay on top, tearing ajagged
hole in the seventh verse so familiar
to ali Christians:
ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock and it shall be
opened unto you" .',
Accepting this as good omen, Mr..
W. searched, and in but few mo-
ments succeeded in locating the ledge,
which was over two IT. in width and as
says 1925, on an average to the ton.
The mine is considered the richest thing
yet struck in this district, and an offer
of $1,000 made the fortunate owner
for it, was declined.
The circumstances, to say the least,
are peculiar. and if the story did not
come from the most reliable sources,
we would hesitate to publish them.
