Veterans and National Cuardsmsn
IN. o. Picayune.l

~ ". lCdl uuc.
May 1lth has been declared
"Vetersn and National Guard
Day" at the Worlds Exposition.
The celebration of this grand mill.
tary fete should be, and, we are
assured, will be distinguished by
an enthusiasm, a brilliancy, and a
popular demonstration which will
make it one of the most memOra.
BILE events of the Exposition. II
will constitute, in fact, a national
reunion of members of the Grand
Army of the Republic, ex.Confed.
crate associations, veterans not
identified with these bodies, the
National Guard. and other militia
ry organizations throughout tho
Union. The objects, as eloquent.
ly expressed in the invitation to
the celebration, are "to perpetu-
ate the undying waller of our vet
Grams; to awaken between them
the esteem and respect so often
displayed on the field of battle.
aud to recall the pleasant pauses
and tacit truees which they ex.
tended toward each other during
the long sieges of our late strife.
To also cultivate and encourage
among the National Guard a spirit
emulous of their fame, and to Illus
trate to them that bravery in the
field is a sure sign OF a noble heart
in the ordinary affairs of life."
Certainly such a gathering o.
veterans of both armies, and OF
the citizen soldiers of the Union,
would have a vast influence in
Strengthening the kindly feelings
which have within recent years
sprung up between the soldiers Of
the North and of the South, and
which we all hope to see blossom
into a perfect and unfading flower
Of brotherly love and universal
solidarity. 1t is eminently proper
that this fraternal festival should
take place in the midst of an Ex'
position which has brought to-
gether a marvellous collection 0l
the products of peace, and which
will boast no greater triumph than
this reunion SO far.reaching in its
influences, and so full of promise
for the future.
The arrangements for this event
are being made by a joint commit
tee composed of representatives
Of the military organizations Of
this city, and the Associations ol
the Armies of Northern Virgins
and Tennessee, and the Grand
Army of the Republic. Coming
as it will, Immediately after the
great competitive drill at Mobile
and on the day prior to the utter
national drill at the Exposition
the presence of a splendid body
of visiting companies is assured
An attractive programme of exer
cises has been prepared. 1t is ex
pected that Gen. G.. I. Beauregart
will have command of the troops
Gen. John A. Logan Of Illinois ant
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia will
be invited to deliver the ad
dresses.

In London, few days ago, COL
Ellis gave a dinner party la Port
land Place and laid a strip of carp
ct from his house to the roadway
for the benfit of those hidden to
the feast. Mrs. Watson fell over
the carpet and hurt herself, and a
jury awarded her $50 damages.
The Colonel appealed, but the de.
cision was upheld, the Lord Chief
Justice remarking that the public
had an uncomfortable right to use
the highway, and that those who
laid down carpets thereon must
take the consequences. AS Lord
Coleridge observed, this adds a
new terror to dinner parties, or
rather to the responsibility of
those who give them.

In July last Mir. Myron H. Re

In July last Mir. Myron H. Key holds, of Clifton, was accidently shot through the right foot while hunting in the mountains, sustain ing a dangerous wound, which pre- vented him from attending to busi- ness for twenty two weeks. For tunately for Mir. Reynolds he had taken the precaution, some months before his accident, to secure a policy in the Travellers Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn, for S5,000 in case of death by acci- dent, or S25 per week during total disability. He has recently re- ceived, through Dr. E. J. Firing, the local agent of the company, the sum of S557.14, being the full amount of his claim. The compa- ny paid the demand without any unnecessary delay after presenta ton. With this example of provi- dence and forethought before us, we advise our friends to call upon Dr. Firing and insure without de- lay, for ''no man knows what day may bring forth"

By reference to notices pub lishcd elsewhere it will be observed that two gentlemen who are we'll known in this community are en- titled to the congratulations of their friends. Mir. Solomon was presented by his wife last week with a girl baby, while Louis Smadbeck, now of New York, but late of Clifton, is also a happy dad. The CLARION is informed, confi- dentially, of course, that since the boy putt in an appearance Louie has suddenly grown too large for all the the clothes he used to wear, and has been obliged to order an entire new outfit. Please don't give 1t away.

 Judge Hyatt takes great inter- est in schools, and makes most efficient superintendent.
 The school in Clifton is doing well. and pupils are progressing satisfactorily. We would suggest that the teacher would be encour. aged and pupils stimulated if pa rents and other patrons of schools, would manifest sufficient interest to visit them occasionally.
 The new school house recently completed at Duncan is an orna- ment to that fourishing village, and a credit to. the enterprising community. It was, we believe, built entirely by private subscrip- tion, and IS undoubtedly the hand somest and most comfortable structure of the kind in the coun- ". It is situated at the head of Parks street-an admirable local ity. Its dimensions are 24x36 ft, it is wainscoated and ceiled, and is lighted and ventilated by ten large windows. The trustees desire to secure the services of a male teacher who can combine the requisites of instructor of the ris- ing generation, with clerical abili- ty sufficient to teach the older members of society to remember the precepts taught them in ear Tier years and other places, as in culcated in the blessed Sermon on the Mount.

VIII He Keep His piedses

Private letters received in Cliff ton from Prescott, seem to indi- cate that w. c. Bridwell, Council man from this county, is standing in with the element that Is trying to divide Graham county, although he knows that nine-tenths of the men whose votes elected him are opposed to it. We publish the let ter he wrote to the Chairman of the Graham County Democratic Central Committee for the benefit of any members of the Legisla- ture who may not be aware of the fact that MT. Bridwell IS pledged by that which is valued above all things among gentlemen. his word of honor, to OPPOSE county divis- ion. It is as follows:
 ARAvAIpA VALLEY, ARIz., Oct. f, 1884. HoS. G. H. HYATT, Chairman Democratic %. County Central Committee:
 DEAR SIR: Your letter of date, September 25th, giving official notification of my nomi- nation by the Democratic County Conven- tion for the Council, just received, although I previously had unofficial information of the fact MT. Ming informed me on his re- turn from Solomonville, that himself and Mir. Barney Norton had GIVEN PLEDGE IN MY BEHALF IN REGARD TO THE QUESTION OF COUNTY DIVISION. I take this means of in forming you, sir, that accept the nomina- ton so kindly rendered me, with many myself to oppose any and all measures having for their object the division of Graham County, and to add that heartily endorse the reso- lutions and platform adopted by the Demo- cratic County Nominating Convention.
 Very truly yours,

Here is another for Bolan. This time its the TombstoneRecord, the ablest edited daily newspaper in the Territory, that speaks: Pete is one of the smartest politicians and lobbyists in the Territory of Arizona. He can give such men as Stewart and Hooker grand discountin any kind of wire pulling and beat them, and 1t will not be many days after Pete's arrival be fore the names of Sierra Bonita's statesmen will be noticed among the departures from Prescott. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mir. Wilcox Stockman."

 EDITOR CLARION: Perhaps few lines from the county seat may not be unwelcome to you, although news is quite scarce and times very quiet.
 Of course you have heard long ago that our leading merchant, I. E. Solomon, has another mouth to feed from his scanty earnings, but still groceries are sold, I believe, at the same price. At any rate, I know that whisky, as the market reports say, is same as last quota ton, but a little weak"
 Twenty-one has taken rest and Barney has closed for a day or two. He left this morning in a coach and two to bring, as he said, couple of bummers from Bowie Station to this place. It seems like carrying coals to Newcastle. Perhaps, after all, it may be drum mers that he is going to fetch.
 A story is told here of a some what disgusted partner in com bined grocery store and postoffice in this vicinity. It seems that his pard, the F. M., taking advantage of his youth-hc being young married man-has beer playing the infirm dodge on him and lazily resting at home on a plea of some kind of rheumatic affection, leav- ing the partner to do most of the heavy postoffice work. It is we'll known that the Mormons of this valley do blg thing in the way of sending all kinds of articles through the United States mail. Now, this gentleman, has been heard to declare that he some times had to pull brush fences out of the Pima mail to pick out his dozen or so letters. It Is told-that he was kicking about it to a Mor- mon woman who happened to be in the store. You Mormons," he said "send everything in the mail bags. By and by I expect you will be bringing your young ones from Utah through the mail" "Why, Uncle John," she replied, and in nocent smile lighting her face, "all the babies in Smithville, that I know anything about, come through the mails"
 Among the various enterprises of this metropolis of Graham is the enlarging of small photographs, carried on by a German gentle man, who seems to be doing quite a business.
 Thomas McAIurren, of Maxey. has been arrested on a charge of complicity in the attempt to kill Tom Picket in McMurren's saloon a few days since.
 An altercation occurred two or three days since, in this town, be- tween two prominent citizens of the place, in which fire arms were freely used, that is to say, one of the parties seized an old Winches- ter that had been in the corner of the postoffice for over two years, unloaded, and aimed it point blank at his adversary, and would un doubtedly have shot him dead but | for the interference of bystanders. No arrests. Yours truly,
 VERITAs.

Prescott society is an enigma to a stranger. There are three classes in and about Arizona's Capital, i e. the official class Officers and their families stationed at Whip pie barracks), the "perspirers, 1" those living lon the hill," who intermingle with the first named and consider themselves way up, and lastly, the sweaters" or in habitants of the ''hat," who think they are as good as any one else, even if they do take boarders. Caste in India does not draw a stronger line than IS drawn in Prescott between class No. 2 and No. 3. There is no such thing as going up or going down. If you belong to one set once, you are classed with it forever. Neverthe- less ''black sheep" from other pas
 lures occasionally stray into the charmed circle of the 'perspirers," and 1t is quite evident, judging from an item in the Daily Journal of last Friday, that something of the kind has occurred. It says: Prescott society must be sadly in need of amusement, if it will fol low the lead of certain tin horn gambler, who apparently q aires to the position of society laade..."

On Friday last cars began run ming regularly on the Longfellow incline, and coke is conveyed by rail to Morenci and ore to the Smelter at Clifton. It will proba- ply be several days before the full running capacity of the incline is attained as some slight alteration has yet to be made. It has proved a success in every respect, which is satisfactory to all interested in the important enterprise.

s. J. Callahan, who has been a compositor in the CLARION office for the past fifteen months, left for California last Monday. He is a good printer, and young man of fine habits, industrious and re liable, who, during his sojourn in Clifton, made many friends by his genial department and social qualities. We hope that success may attend him in all his move ments and that tho lines may al ways fall to him in pleasant places.

From the rerrltorial Capital.

|
 PREscorr, AnIz., Jan. 3i, 1885. Since my last report nothing ol greatimportance has tra ispired in legislative matters. Those mem bers who started in by advocating minor matters are gradually switching round, as they all have small hatchets of their own to grind.
 In the House, bills continue to be introduced without cessation, but the Council seems to be laying back with desire to quash the same at the first opportunity, sev- eral having already been indefin- ltely postponed.
 A vote was taken in tho Council yesterday on a question relative to railroads forfeiting certain lands, which is supposed to virtually set tie all railroad legislation and by which that body declared itself by a small majority favorable to mon- opolists.
 It IS said that the bill for the for nation of Sierra Bonita county will be introduced next week; but the prospects of its passage are growing beautifully less. NJ. w.. Stewart is still on the ground working lke a beaver, but the pre- sumption is that his labor will be in vain. The appointment of liar wood. of Cochise, as Chairman of the Council Committee on Coun- ties and County Boundaries, will prove disastrous to the scheme, even if the bill should pass the House, which is very doubtful. :
 Graham's representative in the House. Judge Sias, is standing firm and will undoubtedly continue so until the last, and it is believed that when anything arises that re- quires his services he will be of sufficient weight to carry his point. As to Bridwell, however, I cannot say as much, as it is thought he is breaking.
 Some person has charged Assem blyman Frame, of Cochise county, with selling out to the friends of the new county project, but he de nies the charge and I believe stands solid on the question of no division.
 The first scrapping match of the session occurred just after the ad- journment yesterday, two of the Yavapai delegation being the principals. The cause seems to have originated by one accusing the other of being implicated in a steal now before the House, and the result was a black eye and a few scratches. More pugilistic en- counters are anticipated before adjournment.
 The members of the press are now arranging for a Bohemian banquet to the mcmbers of the Legislature, which promises to be the grandest affair of the kind ever witnessed in Arizona.
 The stockmen held their meet ing here this week, and as q result of their labors will submit a bill in their interest, which will no doubt pass.
 The bill making county recor- ders ex-officio clerks of the board of supervisors was, after having been reported, referred to Com mittee on Judiciary. A bill segre- gating the office of assessor from that of sheriff, will be introduced next week. It will, however, only effect the larger counties.

A. l.. Moeller, of Prescott, died in that city on the 18th instant. He was a native of Pennsylvania, about 60 years of age. Doctor Moeller,as he was familiarly called, was a pioneer, coming to Cali fornia in 1S49, where he resided until 1863, when he came to this Territory, and lived in Prescott since that time. He accumulated wealth and was man of influence. He represented Yavapai in both Houses of the Legislative Assem- bly-
