PRESIDENTIAL POLLS.
Hair of the Occupants of the Executive Man

carp, - in Cleveland Leader.
Here is a curiosity 1t is case containing the
hair of all the Presidents. from the fine gray
lock of George Washington down to the semi
blonde one of Garfield. This case shows that
the color of a mans hair is no sign as to his
presidential success. Jefferson had red hair
and we are told that he was freckled. John
Adams wore wig, and his son, John Quincy
Adams, had the baldest head which ever rested
On the pillows of the White House.
Martin Van Buren, was also slightly bald, but his
badness came more to the front of his head than
Ceveland's. Van Burens hair was beautifully
wavv, and he combed it we'll back from the side
of his face. While he was President he wore it
Short and it had become quite gray. Some of
Jef1erson's portraits represent him with his hair
banged in front, and coming down over his fore
head in the style of the dude of to-day. Every
enc knows how Jackson's hair stood up all over
his mead as straight and stiff as the quilts
OF porcupine, but all are not aware that he
was as gray as a badger during his presidential
term, and that his hair was as fine as the thinnest
strands of spun silver. John Tyler was also
fine haired. and he was very fine looking man
William Henry Harrison coined his hair well to
the front of his ears, ard he was gray at the
time he was elected. Frank Pierce had thick,
curly hair, which fell down upon his forehead
and James Buchanan kept his gray head we'll
trimmed, combing his hair so as TO show to the
full his high, open brow. Polk pat
termed after jackson in combing his hair
straight back with hardly part and
both Fillmore and Taylor parted their hair
on the left side of the head while Frank Pierc o
parted his boldly on the right. President Arthur
had dark hair, which WAS growing gray when he
left the White House. He kept it we'll combed
back from his face and wore it short. President
Lincoln did not pay much attention to his hair,
and most of his pictures represent it as rather
long. 1t was dark and straight President
Ceveland's hair is brown and thin. He wears it
short and combs it up from his forehead as
though he wished to increase the size of that
part of his face His head is bald at the crown
and the badness is daily increasing though he
plasters his hair over it in vain attempt to

kindly woman, honestly set to do what
was required of her, could have been
found. The teaching needed was SIM

tine. ltwould now be called very insult
flc1ent, but it made homely industrious
housewives, fit for the daily duties oft

Meantime Robert Fearon and the set
ne brought about him rioted at the Mill
Farm, and the oak parior was the scene
of orgies such as Mr.. Butterworth never
Imagined. The former servants left, and
very different people filled their places.
Soon money began to run short. Pro-
bate was refused to Robert Fearon
until he proved his fathers death, and
this he could not do. Fearon the elder,
for some reason of his own was out of
the way, and his sons assertion that he
died when on prospecting expedition,
needed confirmation.
Meantime on Mr.. Butterworth's in
vestments the interests accumulated.
Robert Fearon's precise knowledge of
these investments seemed curious, but
availed him nothing until he could prove
his heirship.
The mill hands all left; they could not
stand their new master. Then Fearon
tried to let the mill, but the big wheel
hung Stlll ana Idle, Tor no man would pay
rent with chance that it might be to the
wrong person.
And SO the reign ofmisrule went on as
long as money could be had but this
was not forever, and after a time the fur
niture of the old house began to be sent
into the town for sale. All outside effects
had long before been disposed of, but so
long as funds could be had, drinking and
gambling went on at the Mill Farm.
Cicely Ashton meanwhile setting her
selfto hernew duties, found muchthat was
sympathetic to her kindly nature in the
care of the little girls who formed her
charge, Doubtless the change in circum-
stances would have been more keenly

 EDITOR CLARIoN:-We are plod ding along after the old sort, nothing of great inter est having occurred of late, except a little squabble over the water question between four men of Pima and one of Central, which resulted in three law suits, the Pima four coming out second best in every instance, but the prospects are that, although they are whipped, they are not conquered. They will no doubt take the matter tv q higher court.
 The 24th inst, the anniversary of the entrance of the Mormon pioneers into Salt Lake valley, was celebrated in picnic at tn e Moody grove. Each settlement was well represented.
 A public meeting was held a short time ago at Pima to take into consideration the propriety of enlarging the Stafford mill canal to twenty feet wide, and at the best point above the mill leave the mill canal and run a new canal in a westerly direction to Pima. This will cover q large tract of good land, and provide means by which our population may be greatly increased, and l believe it is generally admitted that the Mormons are no disad- vantage in commuuity, especially when they can't vote.
 Mir. Layton proposes to give eighty acres of land for a town site one mile and a half below Stafford, with view of encourag- ing immigration. This new town site will be covered by the new canal referred to. A preliminary survey will be made in a short time by Mir. Martineau, of Pima The drafting of the articles oi incorporation are under the su, pervision of c committee, who is to report on the last Saturday ot August, and soon after books vii be opened to receive stock in thc said enterprise. It IS q live thing and its fruits will be seen no many days hence. PoSE.

Shooting Array.

Between one and two o'clock this morning a shooting affray occurred between John NJ. McCor mac and Albino Aguirre, in which the former was seriously wounded. As nearly as can be learned, it seems that Aguirre bore McCormac a grudge, arising out of some previous difficulty, and had made frequent mention of the same, threatening to be revenged.
 Armed with a six shooter, he visited the Coronado saloon and vicinity, and in vile and abusive language threatened the life of McCormac, finally making his way into the Coronado chop house. McCormac, who was on the other side of the counter separating the chop house from the saloon, ad- dressed ASuirre, and after some words attempted to climb over the counter, whereupon the shooting began. Shots were inter changed on either side, both par ties passing from the chop house into the street.
 McCormac was wounded in three places T, in the left arm; 2, wound entering left side and mak- ing exit just below the shoulder blade; 3, wound just above right groin, exit above hip joint.
 McCormac is attended by Drs. Firing, Lennon and Lacey, who pronounce the wounds of a seri- ous nature, and state their patient to be in a very critical condition.
 Aguirre escaped immediate y after the shooting. It is unknown whether he received any injuries or not. A reward of $500 has been offered for his arrest, and parties are searching for him in every direction. It is to be hoped that he may be secured shortly, and that justice be meted out tc him for his dastardly crime.

 PRESCOTT, July s1, 1885.
To the people of Arizona.

To the people of Arizona.
 With inexpressible sorrow the people of America contemplate the loss to the nation of the eminent citizen and pre-eminent soldier, Ulysses s. Grant.
 With grateful love throughout every state and territory of the Union, his great achievements and noble character are revered. Pride in his great name fills every American heart, and the senti- ment resounds in all nations of earth. He is gone from among us, and it is fitting and in accord with universal desire that public oppression be given to the grief of a mourning nation. Now, therefore, I, F. A. Tritle, Govern or of the Territory of Arizona, do hereby proclaim Saturday the Sth day of August, 1885, the day named for the burial of General Grant, as a day of special mourning through out the Territory. And I earnestly recommend and request that on that day all business, public or private, be suspended, and that all the people of Arizona unite in demonstrations of sorrow and fit ting obsequles to the illustrious dead.

 Four Indians in confinement at the post guard-house escaped last Sunday. It seems that under a guard of two soldiers, the Indians were sent to the river to bathe, where, taking advantage of the dense hush, and probably assisted by negligence of the guards, they effected their escape. The garri- son was ordered in pursuit, and a reward for their apprehension offered by the commanding officer, but up to Sunday night nothing had been heard of them. "L."

 We have often been asked why the term 'Greasers" is applied to certain element of population which predominates in some DOT tions of this Territory. Not know ing why, and failing to gain the desired information from the Lii brary of Universal Knowledge and other sources of information to which we habitually resort when seeking the sunlight of truth, despair and doubt became our portion. But an old veteran of the Mexican war, who followed the destinies of Scott and Taylor, told us the origin of the term. At one time during that conflict number of Mexicans were cap tured, and while prisoners of war were directed by the sergeant to lubricate the axles of the wagons, spells of war. They cheerfully complied, and from that time henceforward were called "Greas- CTS" The question has been set tied, and further dispute or un certainty is not in order.
