DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.
An Angeleno Badly Hurt. but At

An Angeleno Badly Hurt, but At
tends to Business all the Same.
Mr.. X. w. Chilson, Of this city, is in
receipt of sad news from his brother, d..
G. Chilson, who is now in Arizona, and
likely to stay there for some time. The
Chilson brothers have been very enter
prisiog and very fortunate in their min
ing operations. In the HERALD few
weeks ago mention was made of the
fact that they had sold some mining
claims for 500. 900 in cash, aud had still
others which they considered very valu-
able. Mr.. Jere Fryer, another Ango-
leho, is also operating with the Chilsons
in and around Casa Grande.
In addition to the news received from
Mr.. r. W. Chilson, whose prospecting
name is "Dick," the Florence Enterprise
has the following account Of the acci-
dent:
''Sunday week Professor Dowley, Jere
Fryer and ID. G. Chilson went down to
the Sheridan range to inspect mine
and upon arriving at the shaft discov-
cred that the windlass rope had been
stolen. They bad q small rope with
them and Mr.. Chilson attached it to the
windless and started down the shaft on
it. When within about thirty feet of
the bottom of the latter the rope broke
and Mr.. Chilson plunged headlong down
the shaft. Messrs. Fryer and Dowlsy,
after experiencing considerable difficulty
in procuring ropes, hoisted the wounded
man to the surface and took him into
Casa Grande. Upon examination it was
discovered that Mr.. Chilson's left leg
had been broken near the ankle, one of
the bones in his left arm forced out of
place, three of his teeth knocked out
and his body seriously bruised. He re-
ceived prompt medical care and is doing
well. Mr.. Chilson is one of our pioneer
prospectors, o sterling young gentleman,
and we regret that he should have met
with such serious misfortune"
1t might be supposed that this trifling
accident might reduce the energy of an
ordinary mortal but it seems that the
Chilsons don't look at accidents in that
way. for after being mangled, bruised
and broken up like an old basket he sold
three mining claims TO Prof Dowley for
$4,000. Such is the pluck of pros.
pector, and of such Is the Chilson fami-
ly. 1t will also be of interest TO the
people Of Los Angeles to know that the
new mines will be opened by Prof.
Dowley, and form another trading camp
for our merchants and farmers. The
mines previously discovered by the Chill
son boys are now in active development
and pouring out tho bullion Of which
this city gets a good share. If Mr..
Chilson with one leg broken, arm dislo-
Gated, head broken, and teeth knocked
out can sell mining claims for Sl5, 900 it
is reasonable to expect that when his
personal injuries are repaired he will
surpass this price a hundred fold.

Little Things.

The following is from B. IF. Taylor,
copied from an old scrap book:
Little martin boxes of homes are
generally the most happy and cozy; the
little villages are nearer to being atoms
of a shattered paradise than anything
we know Of and little fortunes bring
the most content, and little hopes the
least disappointment. Little words are
the sweetest to hear; little charities
fly furthest and stay longer on the
wing; little lakes are the stillest, little
hearts the fullest, and little farms the
best titled, Little books are the most
read and little songs the most loved.
And when nature would make any.
thing especially rare and beautiful, she
makes it little-liitle pearls, little dia.
monds, little dews. Everybody calls
that little that they love best on earth.
We once heard good man speak
of his little wife, and we fancied she
must be perfect little bIou of wife.
We saw her and she weighed two hun
dred and ten. But, then, it was nc
joke; the man meant 1t. He could
put his wife in his heart and have room
for other things beside; and what was
she but precious, and what was she but
little? Multlm in pGrvO--much in lit
tle-the great beauty OF all we love
best, hope most for, and remember
longest"

A. Little Farm Well TILED.

Perly Poor, in American Cultivator.
Is regarded by those who have in-
vestigated the subject as comparatively
more profitable than large one; yet
how apt farmers are to buy all the
land they can get hold Of, leaving
themselves no cash capital for the hire
of help or the purchase of stock, fertili-
zers and implements. A farmer in
moderate circumstances, with fifty or
sixty acres of land, for instance, will
bring every inch'of it into high state
of cultivation; the labor employed in
preparing his grounds will be more
than doubly compensated in his subse-
quent exemption from toll, while the
owner of a widespread territory of 300
or 400 acres, which he has but sparing-
ly supplied with nourishment, must
work more sedulously upon every acre
during the progress of vegetation, and,
after all, reap but meagre and mad.
equate harvest. AS a single acre of
land highly cultivated can be made to
yield a crop equal to three or four
scantily prepared, it must be obvious
that the extra labor in dressing the
former is abnndantly more than saved
by the diminished labor in attending
it.
Farmers who, under the influence of
the Gland greed" grasped at the man
agement of too spacious territory, ac-
cumulSte nothing, except now and
then an additional patch of land which
serves only to increase their burdens
without augmenting their income.
Were they, on the contrary, to confne
their exertions to smaller spots, while
their crops could be rendered equally,
if not more, abundant, they would
themselves enjoy life better, become
more independent, and, with better
share of frugality, more wealthy; they
would acquire time to institute experi>
ments and to examine improvements ;
they would attain what they scarcely

People Who Succeed.

1t is the quiet workers who accom-
plish most in this life. People who
talk their affairs in public, on the
streets, whisper their plans in every
body's ear, may expect them to come
to nought. Some people have pas.
sion for show and blow; if they make
rise in business everybody is sure to
hear of it. They cannot dismiss an
employee, or reproye an assistant, but
it is done where every other emplyee,
can hear. All for show, without re-
gard to politeness or common respect
for others feelings. 1t is not the truly
worthy, nor the really gifted who
make most show in this world. Slow
and sure, is good motto haste makes
waste, is a good warning; room at the
top, a good reminder. Silence is gold
en- keep your affairs locked in your
own heart until your plans have reach
ed perfection, then give them to the
world but keep them in your own
heart until it is too late for meddlers
and busy bodies to effect them.
"The world, dear friend, is as we take it,
And life, be sure, is as we make it."

the Hotel de Panama. Her only tray
cling companion beside a maid is
Henri Murgier chief justice OF the
supreme court of Tahiti. She declines
to accept any courtesies due her rank,
and asks that her incognita be respect
ed.
Her highness is known as Queen
Marau, though she is sometimes call
ed Queen Pomare, having married
Pomare V. When seen yesterday she
had discarded her native dress for a
kind of loose-fitting blue flannel
Mother Hubbard. Over this she wore
long mantle, almost concoaling the
outlines of her figure. She is tall,
voluptuously formed, appears to be
about thirty years old, and walks with
a quick, springy step. Her complex
ION is pretty bronze, her hair is a
dead black and straight as an Indians
the lips are full and red, and her ma
iesty's nose has the true Grecian out
line. The eyes are of unusual size
and lustre, and attract attention at
once by their dreamy expression.
From her ears hang pair of plain
gold earrings. A single rose adorned
the lady's hair. She speaks English
fairly well and French fuently.

she says, by reporters and friends who
desired to lionize her and so determin-

From San Francisco she went to
Chicago stopping there some time,
and after visiting Niagara came
hither.
Hermajesty admitted, good-natured-
ly, that the tastes were "barbaric"
and that she was not particularly
charmed with what she had seen in
her travels. She missed the comfort
able freedom in dress, the balmy air,
the everyday life of her Southern
home, and, in spite of the wonders
she had seen, she could not forget
what she left behind. In spite of her
warm wraps she shivered in the chilly
air as she spoke.
One of the peculiarities that struck
the queen most forcibly was the APP
parent absence of enjoyment among
the people. Every body seemed to be
in hurry and she had heard no one
sing and had heard very few laugh.
Now, at home the burden of life was
contentment and the cares were few
and easily shaken off. She thought
part of this general gloom was at
tributable to the tight corsets worn
by the American ladies' In her own
country the ladies wear a kind OF
loose gown of thin texture, which is
changed every day and is never pat
on again until it has been washed
Most of the ladies have fifty or sixty
of these dresses. The men wear a
'paren" made of bright cotton cloth
wrapped about the waist and falling
below the knees, above this they have
a kind of loose shirt.
