InaIopdon Music Hall.

The London music hall furnishes at once music and liquor for the masses. There is always c chairman" who an- rounces the title of each song and the name of each vocalist. The importance and impressiveness which he shows in his manner, and its apparently impressive effect upon -he audience, gives the Ameri- can a strange sensation He doesn't know whether to accept the whole thing as se- rious or as farce. It is always the same old tune which has been sung to genera tions of LOndoners, with variations 0f word and sentiment to suit the times. The farces are long, tedious and stupid the fun is boys' horseplay. The BOwery ten-cent temple of the drama would not tolerate such bosh.
 The music hall at night is the favorite lounging place of that fine animal in uni form, the British soldier of the Horse Guards. in his tightly fitting red jacket, his cap raked So far on one side of his head you wonder it does not fall of. his hair neatly brushed, his legs fsultless as to cut of Pantaioon, and in his hand aIwHys a little switch cane. He affords a re- freshing contrast 10 the prevailing dim and dingy hue of London's garb. You will see there suits of black on mems forms which look as if they must mo- mentarily fall 10 pieces. It won't do to call such clothes rusty. threadbare or seedy. There is a certain quality of de- cay visible about them never seen here. They give you the impression of having been first worn, say. sixty years ago, and then abandoned for year or so to the moths, and then hung up four or five years in a second hand clothing store, and then purchased and worn few years, and So on, alternating as above mentioned mp to the present time. This treatment gives them a certain look of oleaginous rotten ness, rich. fruity and peculiar.-Prentice Mulford In New York Star.

Reasoning from a Sorud Text.

Say the doctors-and who shall say them nsy?-s special predisposition seems requisite to the development of rheumatism. Where there is this tend ency, most of us know from observation what 6 deep hold disease takes whence once incurred snd neglected Tor short time. Is not this 6 sound text. then, from which to advocate the early use of Hostetter's Stomsch Bitters ID 6 malady so hard to dislodge as rheumstism? Au- other thing. It is we'll ascertsIned that @ falling of ia vigor, resulting from iu- digestion and msl-nutrI;ion' increases liability to rheumatism. What then, IS more likely to act as spreventive-sside from its remedial action-Than this potent rectiier of the gastric troubles that increase the rheumatic tendency. Malaria, constipation, dyspepsia bilious ness, sleeplessness, nervousness. debility and kidney troubles succumb to this genial preventive and remedy.

Death alone can break into the case, and, seizing the ever swing ing pendulum, which we call the heart, silences at last the clicking of the ter rible escapement we have carried so long beneath our wrinkled foreheads.

 Editor CIT1zKS;-We had a steady ram here commencing Saturday evening and continuing until Monday. It was Q good one-s regular "eilly-washer." The Rio San Frsncisco. which meanders through this burg, was on a regular tear. ou. of the banks and just sweeping things clean as it went. A wire suspen- sion bridge used by he employes of the Arizona Copper Company in particular, and the public i'd general, was washed of its pins and down the canyon, to the great inconvenience of all ooncerDed,
 Among the names mentioned in Clif- ton for Governor of Arizona, I have b, ard Coi. Herring, Mir. Wolt1ey and I Governor Tritle If the choice lay with Clifton republicans I believe that Vol fey would get the plum. Gen, Wilson made 8 mistake iD not getting his name on the Independent ticket in this conn., ty, as fl he had done so ihe majority wonld have been for him and not for Smith, That ticket was a winner from the start and 1t was voted straight ger eraily, Had Mir, Msddux accepted the place on thls ticket and remained here he would to-day be Graham County 6 District Attorney. All this is plain now, but before the election even the leaders of the IndependeIt movement did not anticipate or expect the election of their full ticket.
 The gentlemen belUn gipg to the Mason ic Lodge here are arranging for grand ball and supper cn Dec. 24th, There IS quite Lodge here and nothing will be spsred Co make the occasion of this ball one long to be remembered by the Clif- tonites, especially the young ladies and gentlemep, Jake Abraham, mIne host of the Clifton Hotel, is eI=rting himself, which is sufficient guarantee that the af- fair will be 8 grand success.
 The usual Thanksgiving turkey will be carved and dispensed Tn Clifton Thurs day. Itis to be hoped that our Republi- can friends will not desecrste the dsy by ringing in politics; but their enthu- sissm continues here and no doubt they will be found tbsnking the Lord for what they received st the hands of the snti-free traders ID New York city.

Startling Incident of the War.

During the-esrly part of 1863 the gen. erals division was quietly settled in quar- te.s in its camp south of Murfreesboro'. While there he related this curious incl dent:
 "Col. Conrad, of the Fifteenth Missouri, informed me that he got through without much difficulty; in fact. that everything had gone all right and been eminently satisfactory, except that in returning he had been mortified by the conduct of the two females belonging to the detachment and division train at my headquarters. These women, he said, had given much annoyance by getting drunk. and to some extent demoralizing his men To say that | was astonished at his statement would be mild way of putting it. and had not known him to be most upright man and of sound sense, l should have doubted not only his veracity but his sanity. Inquiring who they were and for further details, was informed that there certainly were in the command two females. that in some mysterious manner had attached them selves to the service as soldiers; that one, an East Tennessee woman, was a team ster in the division wagon train and the other private soldier in a cavalry com pany temporarily attached to my head qudEltTs TUT tcNuEl uuA N-
 While out on the foraging expedition these Amazons had secured a supply of apple jack" by some means, got very drunk, and on the return had fallen into Stone river and been nearly drowned After they had been fshed from the water. in the process sofresuscitation their sex was disclosed, though up to this time it appeared to be known only to each ether The story was straight and the circumstance clear. so, convinced of Con rad's continued sanity, directed the pro vost marshal to bring in arrest to my headquarters the two disturbers of Con- rad's peace of mind After some little search the East Tennessee woman was found in camp. somewhat the worse for the experiences of the day before, but awaiting her fate contentedly smoking cob pipe She was brought to me, and put in duress under charge of the division surgeon until her companion could be se- cured. To the doctor she related that the year before she had "refugeed' from East Tennessee, and on arriving in Louisville assumed mans apparel and sought and rbtained employment as teamster in the quartermaster's department. Her feat ures were very large. and SO coarse and masculine was her general appearance that she would readily have passed as a man. and in her case the deception was no doubt easily practiced.
 Next day the she dragoon' was caught and proved to be a rather prepossessing young woman, and though necessarily bronzed and hardened by exposure. l doubt if, even with these marks of cam paigning, she could have deceived as readily as did her companion. How the two got acquainted never learned, and thoug gh they had joined the army inde- pendently of each other, yet an intimacy had sprung up between them long before the mishaps of the foraging expedition. They both were forwarded 10 army headquar- ters, and, when provided with clothing suited to their sex, sent back to Nash vile. and thence beyond our lines to Louisville. Gen Sheridan's Book.
