Jehn Augan Arrested.

John Mugan was arrested m San Fran cisco. few days ago, for Sheriff Paul, of Tucson. He is well known to many of our citizens. His mo,her--a worthy woman-was until recently the jaui,res, of the Tombstone city hall.
 The Tucson Citizen gives the following account of the misdemeanor for which he was arrested:
 When Charley Driscoll bought out the interes, oi R. L. Moss, his partner in the saloon business at the Quijotoa, he bor- rowed $500 from Mrs. King, . hard. working widow woman, who kept . laundry at that camp. Afterwards, when the fate of the town was sealed by the closing down of the works, Mr. Driscoll turned over to Mrs. K,ng all the stock and fixtures of the saloon to satisfy the above debt. The license to sell liquor had some time to run, and Mrs. King placed one John Mugan, who seemed to have no regular employment, in charge of the place, hoping to convert the re- manning stock into money. Mugan and Mrs. King both had the combination of the safe and frequent, access to it, and Mrs. King kept deposi, of all the money she had in the world-some S75o-therein.
 On the evening of March a9,h, a gang of smugglers were at the camp, and Mu. gan sold them all the liquors, cigars and other stock, together with such of the bar fixtures as they could take away, es. timated to be worth, at such sale, be. tween $4oo and $500, and they were all taken away during the night. Early the next morning Mugan, having taken the proceeds of the sale and the $.So on de. posit in the safe, went on foot ahead o' the stage, about three miles into the val. ley, and when the stage came along he took passage to Tucson. He spen, one night here and the next day tsok the west bound train for California.

Poor Quality of Idols.

The Hindoos are again complaining oi the poor quality of idol furnished them by the Birmingham manufacturers. l, seems that these manufacturers have been producing such ugly styles of idols that even the most religious Hindoo can't worship them with fervor Moreover, they are made of cross.grained, knotty wood, and are painted with cheap min- eral paint, which in ho, weather comes of when the devotees kiss th-m. The Hindoo is very patient, but it does rifle hin when the paint of high.priced idol sticks to his lips.

THAT DECLARATION.
The Grand Old Nan Makes the Greatest
 Effort of his Life.

Effort of his Life.
 Yesterday morning, the grand ole man" walked into a friends office ane seating himself, brushed back hi: newly dyed locks from his Grecian fore head in weary manner. Drawing from his pocket manuscript, he placed it or the table, exclaiming: There, sir What do you think of thata" with the air of man who had at last accomp. lished his mission in life and had 10 more i've for.
 "What is thisl" enquired his friend, eying the manuscript suspiciously. "Tha,, sir" replied the veteran preya. ricator, as he teyed with his cane, "That sir, by God, sir, is the greatest effort of my life. That is the eliminating achievement of lifetime, spent in the service of an ungreateful country. It is . Declaration of Principles of the Tomb. stone Anti.Chinese League, of whose principles l may justly say, l am the exponent. To that document have de- voted many weary hours and the expe- rience gathered during forty-seven years of active life on the bench and forty. three years in Congress. It is docu' ment which will go thunderlng down the ages, in company with the Declaration of ndependence--upon which work, great though it is, think may without van. ity say, have much improved. The names of Robinson and Washington, will be linked together in the minds of a grateful posterity.'
 Here the z. o. m. paused for breath, while his friend took up the document. Just then the grand old man spied an EPrTArH reporter making for the office and picking up his hat and cane, he hastily made his exit. As the reporter entered the office, Mir. X. handed the manuscript to him, remarking: Here, that's something for you, haven't time to wade through such trash"
 The reporter glanced through the pages, then turned to the beginning and read it over again more carefully. As he read, smile spread over his features, which gradually enlarged to broad grin.
 "Wha, are you laughing at % euquired Mir. X.
 "Why," said the reporter, as he drew printed circular from his pocket. "I thought 1 noticed something rather ia. milar in this effas'on. Just compare those two productions, will youl"
 Mir. x. glanced over the printed shoe, and smile illuminated his face, also. The circular was one of those published by the Non-Partizan Anti.Chinese League of California and the wording of it was, throughout, precisely the same as in the production of the grand old man, even to the style of the heading.
 Alter good laugh, in which Mir. x. heartily joined, the reporter went of, more than ever convinced that the grand old man" is grand old fraud.

The Record of 1861 Beaten by Two
Feet.
Boatmen Getting Ten Dollars Head
for Carrying Passengers.
Damage Done to Property VIII
Amount to Vast sum.

MONTREAL, April 19.-At late hour last night
correspondent visited part of the flooded dis
trict. In order to get to the western portion Of
the city he had to make a long detour. All the
low-lying streets were covered with water. In
some places the water rose so rapidly that the
people had no time to prepare for it, and had to
take refuge in the upper stories of their houses,
where many are without fire and fuel, and as yet
with no immediate prospect of relief in the shape
of provisions. In some streets the water is six
feet deep. The merchants, say that the losses
will amount to millions of dollars. This is the
worst flood that ever visited Montreal.
The fire department is demoralized, about half
the stations being cut off by the water. Two ex-
tensive fires took place yesterday The fremen
tried to drive through the water, but in most
places found it too deep and had to go to work in
boats and on RATS.
The people who owned boats must have made a
small fortune during the past few days. Ten dol
lars head has been the price charged for a half
hours SAIL and even at that figure the craft have
today visited the flooded district. They found
that at the point where the flood of last year was
than it was at any time in 1886. Wooden side
walks were floating, and sections of them were
used as RATS. Some of the inhabitants had plac
ed forked sticks at the sides of these RATS for
as rowlocks, placed barrel on top for seat, and
with roughly hewn oars managed to propel them
along at taif rate 3f speed The people in many

Fhe' The water is still about two feet higher than

and Notre Dame streets are flooded almost to the
city limit while the fields and low-lying grounds
are nothing but a vart expanse OF water. MeGlll
street 3 flooded up to st. Maurice street. The
water is literally covered with RATS and craft OF
all description, loaded down with people. The
district between McGill and ST. feter street,
which lies lower than the eastern part OF ne pus-
mess section, has suffered extensively. In some
places water rose to st. Sacrament street. IN tls
district the boatmen are driving DISK traue con-

could be seen hanging about who had been unaDie

ance as it did yesterday. From Mount Royal
away to the southwest, across the river, the vii
lage of La Prairie is seem apparently completely
of the river to st. Lambert, the houses along the
river bank stand with water all around them. The
river front of st. Lambert cannot be seen ON ac-
count of the ice which is piled up to the very
doors of the houses facing the river On this side
of the river the scene is quite as desolate From
the very foot of the rapids right down to Hochela-

Ali of Point st. Charles appears to be under water,
and every street in the lower part of the city

The river is clear of ice from a short
distance above the bridge west to the rapids, but
