Our old friend Charles Shan

Our old friend Charles Shan
 non, editor of the Southwest
 Sentinel, was married last week
 in San Antonio, Texas, to Miss
 Ray, enc of the fairest daughters
 of the Lone Star State, so says a
 number of our exchanges. Such
 being the case, we extend our
 most cordial congratulations to Charlie, and sincerely hope that the full fruition of love's young dream may be his portion, and in the expression of that sentiment we voice the wish of large num- Der in this camp who know Mir. Shannon we'll and rejoice at his felicity. The prevalent idea that newspaper men must look beyond the stream of time for happiness has been exploded-peace and prosperity should be their DOT tion in this dim spot which men call earth, for they fight the good fight and keep the faith. MT. and Mrs. Shannon will please accept the best wishes of the CLARION that their matrimonial venture shall be all that the mostsanguine could anticipate. And may many Rays of radiant light, even though l they be little ones, make glad | their hearts, and, like stray streaks of sunshine, bring joy and glad ness with their coming.

With all due deference to the individual who advises us how to run the CLARION, and makes ldiotic suggestions, we would gently re- mind him that when We wish medical advice we call upon q physician and pay for the pre- scription, and when We desire legal advice we turn to our law books and draw from that foun- tain of knowledge, or consult a counsellor at law. Ex gratia we would advise you to call on Mir. Smith and secure a large piece of ice, and sit on 1t to have your un- derstanding cooled.

 There was a time when we admired F. M. Pixley, the editor of the Argonaut, but that time has passed. He is lawyer Of promi- hence in California, and as a jour nalist his ability is far above meniocricy. He talks we'll and writes better. Why he should have conceived the insane idea that the people of Arizona are what he represents them to be is beyond our conception. MT. Pix ley, if you place any value on that putrid carcass of yours, for the Lords sake keep out of Arizona, and do not cross the Colorado river until you have made your peace with Heaven. The people of this Territory know you to be a fawning sycophant, and that the truth is not ln you. The Tailings speaks kindly of you thusly: Parasite Pixley has vented some more of his spleen on Arizona and its citizens. The fact that this professional lick spittle holds the citizens of the Territory responsible for doings of an Indian ring, whose members are as much detested here-ex- cept by an interested few-as are the Apaches, shows that Pixley's arrogance is only equalled by his ignorance"

Sunday morning last, while we were alone in the sanctum of the CLARION, seriously meditating on the certainty of death and the possibility of a visit from the Sheriff, we were made glad by the incoming of Dr. Miller and Jas. Colquehoun, Esq, and with their coming there seemed to be ray of sunshine, which made us feel that we had been transferred, temporarily, from a garden of ice
 bergs to a bed of moss roses. We appreciated their coming, and re- gretted to learn that We could not supply what they most needed, to wit: spiritual consolation. They visited North Clifton for the pur- pose of attending divine service, but in the absence of the Bishop, they sought the temporary editor of the CLARION, and he told them what they should do to be saved. Gentlemen, call again; we are ever pleased to greet you cordially.

A PITIFUL STORY.

The Terrible Downfall of Once Prominent
Philadelphia Lady Through Her InOrdi--
nate Love for Drink-Death Among Rags
and SquaIOr.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February IA
woman who belonged to one Of the best
families in Philadelphia, died in a.
Wretched frame house on Kaign's avenue,
Camden, n. j., at an early hour yester--
day morning, from the effects of an as
sault on her by two young negroes, Will
liam Fisher and John Burley, on the 14th.
of January ThejEas''woman once the hand
some and accomplished wife of ex-Judge
Woodward, and moved in the best So
ciety. She became addicted to drink,
and her downfall was rapid and.
terrible. Her friends, for long time,,
tried to reclaim her, but at last they were
compelled to abandon her, though they
fixed upon her an income sufficient to-
maintain her in comfort. After she was
given up by her relatives, she became
utterly abandoned, and associated with
the vilest characters. and was continu~-
ally under the influence OF liquor. Some
years ago she moved to Camden to the
house where she died, and her furnl-
ture and clothing attracted much atten--
ton in that squalid neighborhood, by
their expensive quality. But she.
died in the midst of filth and
rags. Early in the evening
of January 14th the residents OF the neigh
borhood heard screams in Mrs. Wood
wards residence, and upon breaking into
the house, found the unfortunate woman,
bound and gagged, lying in q pool OF
blood. Fisher and Bailey were arrested.
for the assault, and the latter having
turned States evidence, the men We're
sentenced by Judge Read to five and six
years respectively in the State Prison.
The death of Mrs. Woodward was
caused, beyond doubt, by the
brutal kicks and blows she received at
the hands of the negroes, and from.
which she had been suffering ever since
the attack. DIR. Wills, the physician who
has been attending her, says her death is
the result of the injuries, and refuses to-
give a certificate of death until post
mortem examination is made. Monday
evening she sent message to M. Sco--
vile, Esq, to come to her house and
write her will Thinking it one of her
MANY Whims, Scoville did not go. About
three O'Clock yesterday morning the
woman spoke her last words and at 7:45s
o'clock she died.

ANOTHER REVERSE.

General EarIe's Force Attacked By the
RebeIs-T1le Latter RepuIsed and Driven
at the Point of the Bayonet-They Raiiys
However, and Administer a Sharp Defeat
ON the British--GeneraI Earle Among
the Killed.
LONDON, February 12.-The War ONCE
has received the following information
in dispatch from General Lord Wolse''
key:
The fortified vessel in which General
Earle's detachment was proceeding up
the Nile from Brit, reached the pass
above Dulka Island Tuesday The enemy
appeared in great force at this point
After causing some demoraliza--
ton among them by heavy
fire from the guns on board
General Earle and a portion of his men
landed and attacked the Arabs, driving
them back at the point of the bayonet,,
carrying the pass without the expendi-
ture of ammunition. This course was
adopted in order to save the supply of
cartridges, which had become greatly
reduced. The enemy, embold-
ened by their comparatively slight
loss in the conflict, rallied and made a
fierce onslaught upon the English, firing:
with remarkable precision. They re-
pulsed the troops with heavy loss, and.
captured The floating fort. General
Earle was killed while gall ntly leading
a charge. Three other officers were
killed and four wounded. Eight of the
men were killed and thirty-tiye wounded
The enemy's loss was considerable.
THE LONDON PRESS IN MOURNING.
LONDON, February 1l.-All the morn
ing papers have their columns borderedz
with black, as token of the grief which
is universally felt over Gordon's fate.
Some papers confne the mourning en-
blems to the editorial page, but in most.
of them the column rules are reversed on.
all the pages. The Neles says: "Tne age
of chivalry was revived again in Gordon's=
history, and the whole world thrills with
passionate grief at this Christian war
rior's death.' The Standard alone re-
fuses to believe Gordon dead, and clings-
to the shadow of hope that he may be a.
prisoner or may have escaped to the
South.
