visited this city.

Dickinson, and the Copper Reef, owned by Jere Fryer and Julius Baeuerlen. The consider ation for the first named property was S6O,0OO and for each of the last two the sum of $2O.0OO was paid The buyer was s. Chamberlain, president of the Casa Grande Copper company. The properties were recommended and the sale made by MT. E. o. Ken nedy, the we'll known inning man of Globe, which is a sufficient guarantee of their value. They are copper prop critics and lie near the the Copperos- ity. We have not made a personal inspection of the properties, but are told by reliable parties that they con tain large bodies of good copper ore. We presume they will be worked by the Casa Grando Copper Company or incorporated in Cleveland, Ohio.- Arizona Gazette.

Dr. watsons' Leap at Vienna.

On Saturday afternoon three Scotch men, Dr. Watson, MT. John McLaren and Mir. Robert Mackenzie, were walk ing over the Reich's bridge, which spans the Danube at a height of 70 feet. The two younger men leased Dr. Watson, saying that his courage would fail him had he to jump from the bridge into the river. All at once Dr. Watson mounted the parapet, and before his friends could hinder him, jumped into the river, which ran 70 feet below. Despite the river being at five degrees Reamur, and with a terrible current, Dr. Watson swan comfortably to the shore, where he was received by the police, who escorted him to the police station and made him change his clothing, against his will. The incident created a painful sensation among the hundreds of peo- pie who were crossing the bridge. Dr. Watson will be subjected to a fine.- London Daily News.

SPECULATION IN TRADE DOLLARS.

Trade dollars have quite specula- tive quality in consequence of the bill in Congress for their redemption, and the tendency of the quotation is strong ly upward. A few weeks ago they were sold freely at 93 cents, but the latest bidding price in New York was 96, and none are offered at less than 9S3. The Bankers Monthly, speak ing of the pending bill, says: "The principal objection brought against it is that the coins now remaining in this country are, for the most part, in the hands of spectators ,,who bought them up at discount, and will reap profit of 10 to 15 per cent. on the operation. It is estimated that there are 100000 to S,OOO,OOO thus held, and that as many more will come from China, but the statistics on the sub ject are very indefinite. The Mercan- tile Exchange of New York and other bodies have expressed themselves em- phatically on this point. It is doubt fui,if the government is morally bound to redeem them as full dollars, for they were never considered as a coin of the United States Tn the full sense, but only disk winch was certified by the government

Geo. Vanderbilt, the literary mem Der of the family, is the owner of the chess table and chess men that form erly belonged to Napoleon l., and which he used during his exile at St, Helena. Not only this, but there is even more of a ghastly interest at- tached to this souvenir. It was stand, ing by the table when the physicians were making their post-mortem exam, ination of the dead Emperor, and when they took out the heart they pulled open one of the drawers of this little table and laid the heart upon it, and to-day one may see the deep stains oi the blood on the inside of the drawer This relic belonged to Mr. McHcnry of railroad celebrity, before it came into Geo.
