Colonel Bigelow, an old hassayam- plr, writes as follows to tAe Prescott Miner: "Tonto Basin is almost shut ont from the rest of the world, but it is one of the best grazing sections in the Territory Our observations have extended over the whole area, except sng the extreme eastern portion, and t excels all tA5 rest. Though there are said to be at least 15,000 head of cattle in the Basin, which is sixty or sayenty miles across, they appear 10 be thinly scattered over the country, and except in the immediate vicinity of the camps and ranches, the grass on the ranges seem to Dc almost un- touched. The settlers ciaire that there is great mineral wealth in gold, cop- per and silver in the Basin, and wa oerta,nly saw some very favorable looking prospects, but the difficulty of access is very diseouraging to miners, and has proved a setback to develop ment.
 Mesfs J. .. Batge and J. VI spaf. ford, who have been on visit to the Grand Canyon and the snpai Indian nation, having been absent for eighteen days, returned hoAae on Wednesday last. Mr Burge took up- wards of 40 views of a very interest ing nature, that being his mission tberc, and Mir. spafFord has collected a large amount of valuable information which he will impart to Eastern pa. pers in the way of correspondence, They speak very highly of t6e manner in which they were treated by tue Supais, from whom they gained much valuable information. Flagstaff Champion.
 Tue failure of tue mail ceach 10 ar rive on Friday last was caused by the stealing of the Stage Company's stock at Navajo station, by Navajo Indians. Two head of the horses were recovered at Sanders, but up to the present time tho balance of the stock is still in the hands of the Indians. These red men should be kept on their rcSeryation.- St. Johns Herafl,
 It is reported by tte Denver Rspub- lican that Henry GebIard has pur- chased four thousand yearling cattle which he will drive to his rang, on the Giia river, this Territory, in the fall after tbe quarantine einbargo in New Mexico and Arizona is raised.
 It seems that tbere was no authori- ty fop the annoancemeut, published in So many ofthe Territorial papers, that tue southern Pacific railroad would reduce their rates on June 1st. The Star says that the Tucson officials have not been adglsed regarding any re. auatioh.
 A correspondent of lho St. Johns Herald says: Flagstaff is responsible for a great deal of the commercial dullness reported st Prescott Tonto Basin, tue Verde aud all points east of Prescott can be more cheaply sup piled fEsg6 Flagstaff than from any other point.

ReJukiHg u King.

The timidily which hesitates to rebuke
profanity was once shamed by a King who
had been himself rebuked for profanity.
Riding along the highway in disguise, aud
seeing u soldier at an inn, he stopped and
asked him to drink aie with him. On an
oath which the king uttered while they
were drinking, the soldier remarked.
Il am sorry to hear young gentlemen
swear"
His Majesty took no notice o! it. tut
swore again. The soldier Immediately
said
an pay part of the ale, If you please,
and go; Tor I so hate swearing that, If you
were the king himself, | should tell you of
it.
"Should you indeed?" asked The King.
Il should" was the emphatic reply of
his subject.
Not long after, the king gave him an OPP
portunity 10 be las good As his word. "
Having invited some lord To dine with him,
he sent for the soldier, and babe him TO
stand near hi n, in order to serve nm If be
was needed. Presently, the king, not now
IN disguise, uttered N oath. And defer
entially the soldier Immediately said:
''Should not my lord and king fear an
OATH"
Looking at the heroic so der aud then
at his company of obsequious noblemen,
the King severely remarked:
"There, my lords, is au honest man. He
can respectfully remind me of the great
sin of swearing; but you can sit here and
let me stain my soul by swearing, and not
so much AS tell me Of II"
