d A very entertaining editorial article
from Mr.. Wattersoa's Louisville C9urer'
Journal appears herewith as a sort OF
po.t-C Christmas treat. It is in Mr.. Waiter.
sons b.st style Of attack, and loses
nothing OF its steel point because it is
aimed a. a leader OF his own party.
This kind of personal editorial writing
in whick the personality OF the writer and
that Of the individual attacked come into
close and deadly clash, belongs to a period
which may be called the Medieval age Of
American Journalism. In the days OF she'I
greatest proves Webb, Weed, Bennett,
Prentice, Forncy aad Greeley entered the
lists as knight. armed cap-a-pic and gave
much the SAINT sort Of exhibition as We see
in jous. between Ws:terson and Randall.
Our journalism has nearly outgrown this
style OF Journalism. What there remains
of it ia attractive ior the reason that it is
sort OF cured.
There wore no such iltsbetween Demo-
cratic champions while they we're moving
shoulder 10 shoulder under the banner OF
administrative reform" The election
over, the old ieud breaks out With more
.avageism than ever. Mt. Watterson
warns Mr. Randall OF the sacred soil OF
the South with his protective notions. Mr..
Randall's newspaper friends reply. Ar.
Wat;crson comes back brandin: Mr.. Ran.

administration. Mr.. Wa.te'.on does no.
fail to prod Mr.. Randall with Pennsyl-
vania's $1,000 Republican majority, and
We may imagine that "a he wrote this his

This passage :, arms brings ono more
into bold relief the nit in the Democratic
ranks. The party is divided into two
wings Of tariff views &c opposite thatthere
can be no reconciliation. How long the
Randall wing will submit to be denounced

lows remain. 10 be seen. At all events
the interchange OF offensive personalities
on the eve OF the accession to power OF the
Democratic party cannot be regarded as a

parlors and other places similarly attrac-

after their arrival there n strange gentle

piano, began to run a few scales: To him
the boldest OF our gentlemen said: "Can
you play, sir?" "Oh, yes; drum a lit

the waltz that its repetition was requested

Pennsylvania Republicans are havtng a
little time Of their own over the election
OF O successor TO Senator Cameron. fthey
were ready 10 give Cameron q walk-oyer
there would Re no trouble. But there are
Pennsylvania Republicans who don't in.
tend 10 do that, and Cameron is in for .
fight TO the death.
Tho opposition Is intense, and the Phil.
adelphia PrtIs is leading it with great
ability. It's ringing appeals are bringing
responses from almost every county in
the State. Indeed where Cameron has
managed to get members OF the Legis!a.
turs bound and handed over TO him there
is determined opposition to him and his
methods. In Allegheny and Philadelphia
he has strong supporters, yet on G square

either county. Certainly he would be

Bradford, Tioga, Potter, Mexican, Warren,
Erie, Crawford, Venanso, 3iercer, Law

lection is TO be found everywhere, and Is

caucus, il extreme measures shall be

The hostility to Cameron is from tried
and true Republicans. There is nothing
OF the Mugwump parade about it. The
fight is made BY men who feel that Cam.
cron has had honors beyond his deserts
and made a poor retura for them. They
know that in the last campaign he paid
more attention to his own interests than
to the election OF q Republican to the
Presidency. They think the time has
come to put in the Senate a Republican

formed his fellow workmen OF the fact.
AS they could scarcely credit the story,
one OF their number went out TO verify il.
The man had no difficulty in finding the
spot where the struggle had taken place,
but the contest was over when he arrived,
and tho victor, the owl, having tore away
the fore part Of his enemy's body, was
ieasting on the still quivering remains.
As the man approached the owl left It's

The Quitaca Troubles.
IEpitaph.l l


 NIT. C. $. Benham, who is interested in the Capanea mines, where the trou- ble occurred between Mexicans and Americans last Sunday, arrived from NOgales to-day. He reports the Ameri- cans who were placed under arrest to be all right, although they have not yet been released They were not held ID durance vile, but were allowed the free dom of the city of Santa Cruz. The Prefecto of that place would not take the responsibility of turning them loose, and they were sent back to Quitaca for examlnation. From there, If the state ment they make Is found to be correct, they will be sent to Magdalena and re- leased. NIT. Benham has the assurance of the Governor of Sonora that this will be done. Consul Willard, of Gusymas, was at Nogales, and he, as we'll as Con- sul Poston, was doing all Tn his power for the prisoners, which was not much. To the shame of the United States gov ernment be it said that our representa- tives are sent abroad merely to be laughed at. This IS especially the case m Mexico. If our consuls succeed Tn maintaining the dignity of the United States. 1t IS through their own personal influence and not through the power of the government they represent.
 Mrs. Benham furnished Mrs. Thomas Moore with conveyance and driver, and she left Nogales yesterday morning for Santa Cruz. from whence she will go to Oultaca to join her husband, who IS held as a prisoner. Mir Striedinger left Nogales in the afternoon for the same place.

A new steel is said 10 have been pro- duced at Sheffield, England. which is expected to be of incalculable value to the manufacturing and railroad world. It is said 10 be made "by adding from 2 to 20 per cent. of the ordinary ferro- manganese of commerce to iron either wholly or to a good extent decarboniz- ed and refined and treated by any of the ordinary processes. or to steel pro duced by such processes. It is stated that small test bar containing l2 per cent of manganese was bent double when cold. and was sufficiently hard to turn iron; than an ax containing the same percentage. and which had never been hardened or tempered. cut into a bar of iron half an inch square. A cor respondent of the American MdHufdc- turer, giving these facts, says that the steel is capable of being hammered or rolled the same as ordinary steel. and showed no magnetic qualities. If these accounts are in any measure correct the discovery is likely to prove of great economic importance

Jananase Social Life.

In a recent lecture Prof F. s. Morse dealt specially with the social charac- teristics of the Japanese. A most con- spicuous feature of their intercourse with each other is, he said, their po- likeness. No harsh words are ever heard, no eagerness for selfish advan- tage, no indifference or forgetfulness of the feelings of others. They do not salute by shaking hands. but by bow ing, unusual consideration or cordiali- ty being expressed 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 feel ings of the poor children, who can get no other. may not be hurt by any con- trast. There is no profanity in their language. A trifling mishap or offense Is not unfrequently met among our people with q volley of Oaths; but a JaPsnese. when wrought up in his feel ings To the highest pitch, never utters any stronger expression than what in our language would be the eXclama- ton. How yexaiiousi' They keep their angry passions Tnder control, yet they do not lack iierceness, but make excel- lent soldiers Their kindness to ani- mals is extraordinary. The songs of wild birds are constantly heard in the gardens of great cities. Birds of pas sage alight in the ponds and public grounds of Tokio, and wild deer come down from the mountains and go about freely and unharmed in the streets of densely populated places. The driver of vehicle will turn out of his course in the sJlic highway that he may not injure a dog which is sleeping in the middle of the street. Many other facts were given going to show that the Jap anese civilization is. in respect to rec titude of conduct, kindness, sympathy and urbanity. superior to our own BOStOH ddUertiSCr.

Gordon's Laconio Telegrama


 Gen. Gordon $ telegram to Kharioun is thoroughly characteristic. recalling the laconic terseness of his famous speech when he entered upon his duties as governor general of the Scudan. It was expected that he would make a long address, but he dismissed the as- sembly with single sentence: ''I will try 10 hold the balance even" These pregnant savings of Gordon will serve as the finger-posis of the history of his mission. When his views on the Sou- dan appeared in our columns, he re- marked: "A shot has been fired" When he was sent to the Soudan, be said: ''I have received orders to cut the dogs tail of. and I will do it, 'coute gge coute.'n At Port Said, when some one asked him if he would not prevent the evacuation of Khartoum, he An- swered, dryly: Il shall probably obey my instructions" At Cairo, when he refused an escort, he exclaimed: "I will go with an army or go alone" And now, the latest of the series of these utterances. and perhaps the most characteristic of all: You are men, not women. Be not afraid am coming. Pal Mall Gafett&

SnnOra Letter.
BACUACHI, SONORA. MEXICO,
 November 20, 1881.

EDITOR CITIZEN: This is the first opportunity I have had to write you since I left Herm 1sillo, on the 7th day of September. A long tedious trip 1t has been, and full of dangers; high water was the dangerous part. We were detained twenty days in all at the RiO Yaqui. The boats all gone and no possible way of crossing; our party, con- sisting of NIT. Henry Fuller, Otis Spa,ding and myself, came near drown ing. but now we are all safe, and have Republic. One called the Vuelta, dis covered at the same time the Mulatos was, and only fourteen miles this side, within a mile of the trail. It IS a high, large mountain, and assays all over 1t from S4 to so per tOn-dIrt, sand and rock. On the very summit of the Sierra, heads a bold large stream carrying 2O0 to 300 miners inches of water. This water runs along the side of the mountain to i;s feet, and has a wonderful fall. Pines, tall and straight cover the whole country. Wild fruits of every kind grow in abundance, all that nature could has been done for this camp, and only the hand of man Is needed to make IL produce its millions. 1 am far below the figures when I thus state It. It IS a great prospect. Only think of what could be done with our late inventions, with hose, etc, washing down mountain of gold, which all in- dlcations prove. must produce millions.
 Here, nine miles from Bacuschi, and one mile above the celebrated placers, l have fine gold mine, five foot vein, as- says across $69 to S6O0 per ton, and a concession from the government for a league at the placers and the water, which will be another gold mountain property l am sure, only 1t Is high grade So far.
 My titles are all perfected, and l will sell ont this entire mining scheme for S2OO,0O0. winch also includes the eel ebrated DescubridOrs silver mine in San Juan, Moctezuma, Sonora.
 I will pay the expense of parties wish ing to buy, if all is not found just as represent 1t, for 1 am below the mark. I refer parties who wish to buy for the truth of what I say, to the Preiect at Sa1uarIpa, or to Don Gabriel Valencia, or the Governor Luis E. Torres.
 will soon write you again.
