TIE United States navy has at last awakened and asserted its prowess. Admiral Luce, with the Yantic and Galena bristling with big guns, steam ed into the harbor at Port au Prince, on Thursday morning of last week. and demanded the immediate surren- der of the seized steamer Haytian Re public, the alternative being the bom- bardment of the city. The swarthy president considered the dilemma but few minutes and discretely complied with the demands of the admiral. There is an exhibition of backbone that does honor to the stars and stripes, and if any other seven-by- nine coral reef makes like attempt to defy the great American navy 1t will be made to suffer like humiliation. Our troubles with the bigger powers will, however, continue to be taken under advisement, and if they don't of- fer a satisfactory apology, why-we | will,

M'ALLISTER'S JOKE.
How He Made the Indians Believe They Had Found a Gold Mine.

r Had Found Gold Mine. ~ Prof. McAllister, the prestidigitateur and ventriloquist, happened to be travelling across Lower Idaho some years ago, on his way from one town to another, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. It was in the days of early stage-coaching, before railroads were quite so plentiful as at the present time. The professor, one afternoon before the show commenced, in wandering about the streets of, think it was Lewiston, en- countered on the outskirts of the town small band of Indians. Two or three com panions were with him. While chatting to- gether, looking about and observing things generally, McAllister became quite familiar with a mongrel dog owned by the redskins, whom he proceeded to pet nonchalantly.
 "Fine dog," said the professor.
 "Ughr' grunted the buck.
 "How much you sell him for7" asked the magician.
 holding up pair of dirty fingers to indicate the amount
 Him very fine dog," said McAllister, stroking the CUTS back and taking gold piece from the tip of his nose.
 "Hi hip exclaimed the redskin, looking on in astonishment, his eyes ready to start from his head in excitement.
 "Him very fine dog, indeed" quietly continued tho professor, this time taking a whole handful of coin from the dogs mouth, nose and ears, which he transferred to his pockets.
 Strange noises were heard proceeding from the interior of the brute. He groaned and laughed and howled and parked, at all of which the poor, deluded redskin stood in the utmost awe and astonishment, and couldn't for the life of them understand what had come over the spirit of the ami nal. It was hard to tell which was the most surprised, the Indian or the dog. After filling his pockets with gold and talk ing another fstful from the cur's nose, the professor left the redskins in peace He had not been gone ten minutes before the latter bounced upon the poor, doomed ani- nal and cut him wide open. Like the goose that laid the golden egg, there was nothing inside, and it was only fair to presume that the only reward was fine feast upon ribs of roast dog, browned to turn.

News from Earaua-HaIa.

Tom Cochran, mining oracle who with George F. Davis, went to the Gen. tenial district shortly after the first reports were received of the rich strike in the Harqua-Hala range, returned to Phenlx to-day. He is one of the best posted mining experts in Arizona, and is also a very conservative gentle man. In brief interview he stated to the reporter that the discovery was a most wonderful one; that he had never seen richer ore in his life, and his belief was that permanent camp would be created. The hole of the rich claim is now down more than eight feet, and although but one wall has been developed, 1t is known that the lodges lay between porphyritic lime and quartzite. Thus the great value of the discovery has been veri- fled, and that Mr Cochran is in earnest IS demonstrated by the fact that he will leave again for the camp, just as soon as he can secure supplies, develop a number of claims which he has To- | cated.-Arizonan

Among the Huts of Ireland.

In three days time had visited nearly 200 huts and cabins in the wilds of hi showen. The mere mention of the words, 'I am from America" was the magical talisman opening every door and heart.

 But one of the whole simple host, a poor old woman living alone with goat and pig in hut, turned upon me.

4 Change Of Text Books.

My oldest child is just IS. and my youngest has recently passed tho fourth anniversary of his birth. It is reasonably certain that no radical changes have taken place in the earth's surface during the fourteen years which span the eight natal episodes already referred to. But think that in that interval every child possess has needed a new geography during the continuance of each scholastic year. And am sadly convinced that each geography is en improvement" upon its discarded predecessor. The domestic pile of text books seems to accumulate, and yet they are apparently useless. I am presented st the beginning of each school year with the same formidable list of books that arc imperatively needed in this con- stantly advancing science of geography.
 I am naturally meek and uncomplain- ing man, and 1 have no doubt that sSSnuld excite in my own offspring feel ing of LttYing contempt if I attempted to bound" tke state after the exploded methods of the s'old school" but some times wonder in my artless Japanese fashion" why it is that whenever the ficlzle Mississippi river changes it's mind, or MT.

Ainu Ideas Concerning Spirits.

Although the Ainu ideas of future ex- istence are very hay. yet they consider that the spirits of men are well disposed toward the living, and may be relied upon to bring good fortune to the village and the inhabitants thereof; hence they have no fear of the spirits of men; but it is very different with those of old women. They are considered to be very malignant witches, in fact-who are seeking some means of working mischief. Formerly this prejudice was more deeply rooted than at present, and in order to prevent tho spirits of old women bewitching the place and the people, their houses were burned down as soon as ever the corpse was taken away for burial. This was done in order that the spirit might have no abiding place, and, while engaged in hunting for its home, would be diverted from it's malicious plans. This notion corresponds with the superstitions of barbarous nations in other parts of the world.-J. K Goodrich in Popular Science Monthly

Major Safely in Trouble.

NEW YORK, December 24.-Major John J. Safely of Lodi, Ind, person al friend of General Harrison, was ar rested at the Fifth-avenue Hotel on Wednesday last ,and spent that and the next night in Ludlow-street Jail. On Friday he was bailed out. The com plaint on which the order of arrest was issued set forth that on August IS, 1882, Major Safely, the defendant, William Beard, the plaintiff, and George H. Sisson and Con Burns en- tered into an agreement for the pur- pose of procuring bonds and contracts for the purchase of a tract of land and water rights on the San Francisco river in Arizona Territory, together with the Lone Pine group of copper mines; that the parties were to be equal owners of the property, and that the profits were to be equally divided between the four owners. This prop erty. the complaint sets forth, was, for business reasons, deeded to Safely, who was to hold 1t for the benefit of all the partners.
 The property was purchased before January, 1883, for $85,000 in bonds, and its alleged was sold in Boston to one Michael H. Simpson for $l85, 5,00O in February, 1883, the transaction be- ing negotiated through S. M Hamil- | ton of New York, who, it is said, paid over the proceeds to Safely. The com plaint alleges that $100,000 were paid to the others as their shares, but that the plaintiff never received his; that the plaintiff was in fact absent in i Mexico and was not notified of the sale un.il early in 1884, when he saw the defendant n Arizona and was in formed by him that the property had been sold, subject to inspection by ex- perts, but that it had not been pai| | for.
 Beard alleges that Safely promised to notify him as soon as the money was received, but hearing subsequently that it had been a cash transaction an effort was made to find the Major which, however, was not successful until July of last year. The complaint relates the efforts made by BearC JQ cOIlecJ the money, ana accompany ing aflidavits set forth that Safely or the occasion of an interview between the parties acknowledged the debt ant promised to settle, but failed to do so Hence the suit and application for al order of arrest.
 The plaintiff is mine superinten dent and was at one time in charge o the Old Dominion Copper Mining Company, at Globe, Arizona. Th' Major says he never promised to pa, the plaintiff $25, 900 or any other sun whatever, and denies that he is indebt ed to him in that or any other sum.

The Monarch Mine.

J. A. Conlee, superintendent of the Lela Mining Co.,, was in the city last evening. The compay's mines con- sist of the Monarch and Leona claims near the Vekol.
 There are twenty-five men at work. A drift or tunnel 200 feet long has been opened on the line of the vein and the breast is 125 feet from the surface A cross-cut 215 feet has been male all in ore and the walls have not yet been struck. This great mass of ore will mill six dollars per ton in gold, and it is all free milling. Mir. Conlee says the vein is true Assure and they have 1t for 5000 feet. A ten stamp mill is now at Casa Grande which will be put in the mine just as soon as the roads are passable. A well is being sunk for the purpose of ob- taining water supply for the mill So 1t will be seen the outlook for this mining enterprise is quite flattering- Star.
