BOLD HYPOCRISY Mr.. Blaine processes
to be the special friend of workingmen; but,
as the Norfolk Landmark says, there is no
evidence to sustain his claim. On the con-
trary, the Tribune, his special organ, refuses
to give its printers the wages which other
New York papers allow their compositors,
and there is some trouble in the Blaine
camp ON this account at the present moment
The same state of affairs exists in Philadel-
phia, where the Press occupies a similar
position to that of the Tribune. Printers
as class are among the hardest working
men in the country. Their busy fingers are
flying over their cases and their 'scopy"
when other craftsmen are snug in bed; and
the East is often lit up by early dawn when
they cease from their labors. Intelligent,
hard working, patient men they are, and
the "friend of the workingman" of whom
we hear so much and see so little, can find
no class of Society more deserving of his
support and sympathy than the American
printers. But notwithstanding the 'big
rhetoric of Blaine's letter and the brazen
impudence of the Press and Tribune the fact
remains that the printers of those papers
Blaine papers from top to toe-are excluded
from the living chance given by other jour-
nails Of the country. With such fact be-
fore the mechanics, artisans and working
people of the Republic, it can hardly be ne
cessary to point out to them that the pro-
fessional ssfriends of labor" are in point of
fact full of sham, false pretences, and by
pOcrisy.

An Irish correspondent of the Richmond

State says
"There is no man in all this broad land
who can convince an Irish Democrat that it
would be right for him to vote for Blaine
to endeavor to elect a man who did all in his
power to deprive the foreigner of the rights
Of American citizenship by advocating his

of foreigners ever printed in the United

A young boy ten years old accidentally shot and killed ore of the Indians; The boy ran and the Indian fired at him and ran away.

iso1ting Apricot Trec g.

As is well known, much trouble has been experienced by growers of apricois thr ough the fact that after the tree has matured, and as soon as weighted down by load of frnit,
 the trunks of the trees will fre> qucntly split down to The ground !, and the tree, together with the time, labor and fruit, are total loss. An orchardist of Santa Barbara, who found several of his best trees dying out, hit upon n lucky expedient which will probably prevent all further loss of this kind to both himself and neighbors. A an ex> pertinent he took one of the trees up, and binding it temporarily, run bolt through the two parts and brought them tight together. The tree immediately put forth new life, and not only grew into one again, but has grown. over the bolt entirely, so that the iron that keeps it firm and prevents it from falling under the weight of the harvest yield IS completely hid from sight.

 hundreds of other off ,ers of the army who were dismissed and in probably every instance for less cause than that for wh;ch Porter was dismissed. His was a grave breach If discipline which probably cost thousands of lives of private soldier which though possibly not SO valuable from military atand point yet just as valuable t) the soldiers, to their families' to the country, and more valuable as citi- zcns than the life of Porter himself. Fiiz John Torter has cost the United States not less than two and half millions of treasure though his in suboI dInaii2n and his persistent ir.gging at the door of Congress for a rerny.

WE have recently had tine leas- ure or peruSlng letter from a gen- tlcman thoroughly acquainted with the Mexican grant business, and who for many years was engaged upon them in California land offices. He makes very pertinent remark con- corning the Reavis claim, somewh-.
 as follows; That should the people cIuccrnegI IT Uue rIisrtr,-1., riIr- tssrI itr- ac ion permit the matter to come up
 in the Lard Office at Tucson withou
 l thorough examination on the part
 of the settlers, f,yr 8 representa'i'n !. Il their side, the probabilities are t at lhe Land Office ~ill decide il favor Of the grant, with this imme- diaie result, which Vcnld have a most disastrous effect on the corn- try, that a,l lands within the limits of the alleged grant would imme- diate'y be withdrawn from sale, and in that condition would b. likely to remain. so long as the matter should
 he ia contest. To be sure, there would be the larger portion of our valley that would remain untouched by this grant, but the result would simply be to blight very far por> ton of our valley, and keep it in that condition for an indefinite time. It is to be hoped that Col Zabriskie, who has been appointed by the gov ernment 10 guard the interests of the | settlers, will not fail to give the matter the most thorough investiga- ton, and the strongest possible rep resentation in the part of the people. i Col. Zabriskle is able to handle the matter, and we believe he is willing to handle it to tEe interest of the ! people, nor have we cause to believe l that he is in alliance with the land 1 swindlers. On the other hand, we hear those who have known him | long express the greatest confidence m his integrity; we all know of his ability However, Col. Zabriskie, as the Governments Attorney, will
 not object to such assistance in the
 matter as attorneys directly from the people most interested could un> doubtedly lend him. There is too much ct stake for the people to de pend solely upon any one attorney
 Abilities of various kinds are called
 for in greater degree than they all
 can be found in any one man, and
 the people will do well to see that
 an attorney, one of themsel yes
 whose home is equally in jec pardJ
 with theirs, IS on the ground to lent
 what assistance he may. The peo- pie of Maricopa and Pinal count e
 cannot afford to have these land
 withdrawn from the people. We al feel the incubus of the reserved rail , road lands, which lie like blots o , destruction all over the face of tn . fair, green, cultivated lands that sur 9 round them. We have use for ever foot of land that can be had in tn valley, and the same might be sai' , of the Glla country. We must se 7 that they are retained for settlemen : or rye must suffer the consequence of having them withdrawn,

Antifermentine is simple, harmless
preparation, free from taste, smell and
color, that has the property of stopping
and preUenting Fermentation in all vegeta-
BILE food. 1t is especially useful for pre-
serving fruit of all kinds, retaining the
natural fresh appearance and taste Of the
fruit It's use does away with labor, and
makes what has been hot, disagreeable
task, delight and pleasure. 1t substi-
tutes for the summer heat of the kitchen,
the cool shade of the lawn or piazza. It's
results are never doubtful when used
according to directions, and Strawberry
Short Cake, and Peach and Berry Pies
can be had in winter as well as in summer
Its use is profitable and economical, for it
saces one-half of the sugar, saves the jars
broken by heat, s0Des the fruit cooked
away, and saves time and labor lost by the
old methods. One package will put up
30 quarts Of fruit. For sale by GEO. RULL

Here and There.
The Watch GarcIIe.

The CAPITAL yesterday gave all the
particulars attending the sinking of
the yacht Gazelle, leaving US moth
ing of interest to add to-day. The
Baltimore Sun, INDUCED in some very
timely reflections, which we think
should be read and remembered by all
who go on excursions.
The sinking of the steam yacht
Gazelle, says the Sun, on Tuesday
night in the bay without the loss of
any of the excursion party of ladies
and gentlemen or of the crew, forty
four persons in all, was a narrow es-
cape from.a very serious disaster.
That no lives were lost is manifest
ly due the usual GOODNESS and
self-possession displayed by all
on board the little steamer-olficers,
crew and passengers. The compare
lively small number of the party, OF
course rendered it less difficult to
prevent a panic than would have
been the case with larger vessel
crowded with excursionists, but,
small as itswas, the result might and
would have probably been far differ
ent had any of the party given way
to fright or excitement. AS it was,
all kept their heads level, and a slight
ducking from the spray and the rain
and the loss of some personal effects
were all that came of danger that
on board. The result carries with it
its own moral, and it is one that is
especially valuable just at the begin
ming of the excursion season. In the
vast majority of cases like this escape
from danger and disaster is sim
ply question of GOODNESS and pres
ence of mind
