Editor CLARION.
 New Years morning was bright and cold and ushered in happiness to all. The whole valley here abouts is wrapped in ebeautiful mantle of snow and presents 8 sight which is very pleasing to the eye of the beholder. Such a phenomenon is not remembered by our oldest inhabitant.
 Mir. Peter Anderson, of this place, lately met with a very pain ful accident, and it is feared he has received very severe interna injuries. His life was at one time despaired of, but now, though con- fined to his bed, it is believed he will eventually pull through. He was, it seems, drawing logs to build bridge and was standing on a log when the team somehow started, and the unfortunate man lost his footing and got under the log which rolled over him, crush ing him severely.
 Not very long since the citizens of Pima, acting under the advice of Mir. Bolan, organized a con- pany of volunteers, according to the statute, as protection against Indian hostilities. They applied to the Governor for arms, and yes terday I learned that they had got an answer from him. He did not exactly refuse them, but po- litely told them to stay at home and mind their own business, and to look to the Government and soldiers to protect them.
 The Governor will, I presume, allow citizens to defend them selves with their own guns, or must they wait until few of them are killed before organizing? Per haps it would be displeasing to his High Mightiness if they should organize then. Maybe they ought to rest quiet and allow themselves all to be moved down like grass before the scythe. R1No.

Last Monday Judge Mccormick received a telegram from Mir. 4. l.. Calvin, Deputy Sheriff, asking him to come to Duncan and try a man for shooting. The Judge re- piled that as much as he would like to oblige the Duncan people, such action on his part was i'm possible, as the crime had been committed out of his jurisdiction. Duncan, it appears, had two Jus tices of the Peace, but one of them had left the country and the other had temporarily absented himself on business.

Stalactites bearing rich cop per hang from the roof and equally valuable stalagmites rise from the floor, presenting a sight at once novel and interesting.

 Has been fraught with greater blessings than that which has accrued to the inhabitants of malarial ridden portions of tho United States and the Tropics from the use of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters. The experience of many years has but too cleary demonstrated the ineftciency of quinine and other drugs to effectually combat the progress of inter mittent congestive and bilious remittent fevers, while on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bit ters, a medicine congenial to the frailest constitution, and derived from purely botanic sources, affords reliable safeguard against against malarial disease, and arrest it when developed. For disordersof the stomach. liv- CT and bowels, for general debility and renal inactivity, it is also . most efficient remedy. Appetite and sleep are improved by it, 1t ex- pels rhumatic humors from the blood, and eariches circulation impoverished by mal- assimilation.

Early Presidential Hospitality.

From Lippincott's Magazinel
 President Jackson's table manners were as democratic as could be desired. He had at each plate two forks, one of which was of silver and the other of steel. The President used steel fork for himself, and after his dinner he always smoked his tobacco from g long handled corncob pipe. Andrew Jackson entertained lavishly on the night of his first inauguration. The carpets of the East room were ruined by the orange punch and lemon ade which were served to the crowd which came to his reception. Barrels of this punch were made and it was brought into the room in buckets. At last the people began to rush for the walters as soon as they entered the room Glasses were broken and ladies' dresses ruined. Tubs of punch were finally taken into the garden and in this way the throng was drawn off and it was possible to serve cake and wine to the ladies. At Jack sons farewell reception a monster cheese, IS big as a horse head in circumference and nearly a yard thick, was cut with saw blades made into knives and served out to the guests Each guest received three pounds of cheese. The event was the talk of the na- ton, and when Van Buren became President his New York friends, cumulative of Jackson, sent him g big cheese. It was cut up in the East room. The greasy crumbs, falling up on the carpet, were trampled into it, and ths ruination of the furniture during these two administrations led the later Presidents to discontinue the practice of serving eatables at general receptions. Now no guest comes to dinner at the White House unless inyit cd. In Van Buren's day Bacourt, in his Souvenirs dun Diplomat" says that the Presidents cook told his valet that for sev- eral months preceding the election of 1S4O many persons arrived at the White House for breakfast or dinner, and threatened to vote against Van Buren if they were not en- tertained. The cook stated that he had all the trouble possible in satisfying them, and they often returned what he sent up, doing 80 on the pretext that it was uneatable, and or dered something else.

where the negro has his rights. William
 Drysdale writing from Nassau to the New
 York Times says: No West Indian darky
 will do stroke of work unless he actually has to, and then he will do as little as possi-
 ble. The government (the British govern ment of course) began policy of betting end pampering the negroes, making them in law the equals and, in fact, the masters of the whites in all the English islands in the
 West Indies. This is the position they are now in in Nassau to day and no white man there dare call his soul his own. After fifty years of freedom, with schools established especially for them, and churches and ehapels on every corner, they are the same lazy, ig- norant, superstitieus set they were year after they were freed and thousand times more insolent and overbearing. West India negroes are somewhat like fire, good servants but bad masters. They outnumber the only chance if any white man happens to be on jury; various public officers are blacks, and the white ones are thoroughly impressed with the governments policy of giving the negroes every possible advantage. After generations of oppression and cruelty the negroes are naturally glad of a chance to make the whites smart whenever they can And they do it the more, perhaps, because the whites are cowardly set, afraid to pro- tect their persons or their property. .=:

A sIGNIFICANT QUAKREL.

'
 | The evidence continues to increase that
 the great labor organization which only a | few months ago was going to speedily and efectually right all the wrongs of labor is in ! process of dissolution. Its mystery has gone, it cannot get money enough to work with, and there are many and bitter quarrels The noted and notorious Assembly Mo- 49, the assembly of the notorious Home club, has again come to the front in char acteristic way. At special meeting of the legislative head of the order held at Cleve- land, members of local assemblies of Brook lyn; dissatisfied with the rulings of District No. 49, asked that Long Island be severed from New York and Westchester county and l made into g separate mixed district to be known as Montauk division No. - The Cleveland convention did not oppose the re- quest. Consent being obtained from that body the next movement of the Long Island men, which included twelve local assemblies, was to apply to the executive board of No.
 49, not doubting that, in the interest of the
 order, consent would be obtained to sepa-
 ration. To the surprise of the petitioners
 excuses were made and action delayed until
 patience ceased to be a virtue. A call was
 made on General Secretary Treasurer Turner
 for the issuing of charter to Montauk with
 the seal of the order appended. This was
 promptly refused. Next an appeal was talk
 en to General Master Workman Powderly
 He refused point blank to countenance the
 separation. Other efforts were made, but
 the Home club was always on hand and the
 Long Island Knights could get no satisfac-
 tion. Finally an attempt was made to assess
 them $1 head and to this extraordinary de-
 mand not only did the adherents of nn- chartered Montauk refuse to pay one cent,
 but other local assemblies which did not sympathize with them in their movement for independence took like action. The dis gruutled Knights have made public protest
 against the whole performance. They charge District 49 with "waging war against the entire order; against it's principles, against it's dearest objects and against all that is free and democratic in the order"
 This quarrel only makes palmer what has long been apparent-that the tyranny of capital is no more unbearable than the tyranny of men who try to achieve some fame and some money by tflabor agitation p
