OUR NATIONAL BIRD.
The Eagle IN MytholoEy. In Heraidry
and In History.

AS the lion lS the king OF DeaStS, the
eagle is the king OF birds. The an
cient Romans used to let an eagle
fly from the funeral pyre OF de-
ceased Emperor. Dryden alludes TO
this custom In his stanzas on Oliver
Cromwell after hfs funeral. when he
says:
Onicious haste.
Don't let too soon the sacred eagle fly.
In heraldry the eagle signifies forti-
tude, and 1t has for several centuries
been favorite device on royal BAN
ners 1t was the ensign OF the ancient
Kings OF Babylon and Persia Tho
Romans adopted it together with other
devices, but Marius made it the ensign
Of the legion and used the other de-
vices for the cohorts. France, under
the Empire. had the eagle for its ma
tional device. The two-headed eagle.
as device. was first used by Constan-
tine the Great, and signifies double
empire. There is a superstition, very
ancient, that every ten years the eagle
scars into a Fiery region" and plunges

the eagle, he looked on "the sun OF

The Montana Election.

The agents of the Republican National committee, whose task it was to steal the legislature of Mon tana and with it the two United States Senators form that State, have advanced another step in their desperate programme. Having found public opinion too hot to face with their scheme of throwing out the entire vote of strongly Dem ocratic precincts, on the general principle that the election ought to have gone Republican and must be made to go as 1t ought to have gone, they for time abandoned the pro- iect, or protended to do so. Now however, they returned to it with a new and carefully-prepared pre- tense which was duly set forth in the Republican organ of this city yesterday by way of ascertaining how the public would regard a re- newal of the olfort at robbery. The new plea is that Italians who could notspeak English carried with them to the election booths (under the Australian syslem) cards declaring their inability to speak the lan- guage and their desire to vote the Democratic ticket. It is contended tbat these men would have voted the Republican ticket if they had not been manipulated, or at any rate that they ought to have voted in that way. In all this We have another illustration of the present strange attitude and temper Of party which has rapidly lost its character as 1t has seen its popular support slipping from under it. The conviction of it's leaders seems to he that the Republican party has an unalienahle right to continue in power; that if the people persist in deciding otherwise they must be restrained in their folly and obstin- acy; that elections should be deter mind by what Republican manages think the vote ought to show rather than by what it does show, and that in counting votes 1t is necessary 10 determine what they are by a pri- ori reasoning as to how the voters would have voted if undisturbed by Democratic wiles. This is grOtes- queIy unrepublicon, but it seems to be modern RepubIicanism. - New York World.

For some time Julius Linden meyer, of this city, bas been sick and finally got so low that his death was considered question of d very short time and in fact hourly ex- pected. Although in destitute cir cumstances the physicians here did all they could for him. Dur ing one of their visits Dr. Chenow- with suggested a trial of the Brown-Sequard Elixir discovery and Drs, Stevens and Gregory. thought 1t a good idea. At the time the patient was completely para Iyzed on one side and could not speak above a whisper. Procuring the necessary ingredients the phy- sicians made the test, giving tue patient six injections, ofone dractm each. In a remarkably short time he was able to talk and use his par alizcd limbs. Seeing the effects were evidently permanen they gave him six more injections and he continued to improve, so much so that in few days he talked cheer fully, had the use of his limbs and every way felt improved.

It may be that HarriSon's choice can be explained on the ground that he wants d tried politician, one who will understand how to work the office for the administration without making a fool of himsef before the country. The President has had trouble with his green hands. The experienced members of his Cabinet are laboring for themselves, and at best they are not Ievelheaded per sons. Blaine and WindOn are about as liable tn errors as any of the new men. Noble, Miller, Tracy, and Wanamaker have neither reputa- ton nor practice i'll political lead ership. Tanner came near wreck ing the administration by his blund- ering exploits before anybody could stop him. Raum knows politics, ii he knows anything. He handled his former office dcxterously, and he has buIl,lozed more than one State convention in Illinois. He has no principles or ideas to lead him astray. He is a poli- tician, and q bold, shrewd. ac- tive politician. He knows all the public men who visit the Capitol, and will be of service to the ad- nIinistraiion as a saiisiier." When he can not deal with the soreheads he will crush them.

Printing in Early Times.

EDITOR HERALD-That old Ari- zona typo, John H. Marion, in his Prescott Daily Courier of the 2Sth ult., gives some interesting remin- isceuces of Arizona papers. priters, etc. After reading the arli- cle of Mir. Marion, 1 find an "out'' or two, and, perhaps, inadvertently on his part, one or two errors, which 1 propose to correct.
 The first paper published in Ari- zona was named the "Arizonan, J not Ar;zonian, at the town of Tu- bac, about fifty miles south of Tue son. The Arizouan survived but a short time, and upon its collapse, "Uncle' Bill Oury purchased the material and moved 1t to Tucson. Sometime in the eos, the same pa per was revived-The Arizonan- at Tucson, and edited and publish ed by P. ". Dooner. Octuber 15, 1870, the Tucson Citizen was estab- lished (not 1888, as Marion puts il, ) by Surveyor General John Wasson, as a Mccormick and Stafford organ, but neither of the last mentioned gentlemen were (inanciaHv) inter ested in that paper Tn the spring of 1871, r. W. Dooner's Arix6nan'' suspended, and "Uncle" Bill Oury again stored the material in his house on Main street, Tucson.
 Late in the fail of n or spring of '75, the material of the two de- funct ArizOnans was again brought out, with which was started the Tue son Weekly Star, published by A. E. Fay, l.. C. Hughes purchasing the material from Mr. Oury; and Hughes was, from the first, as he is at present, the sole owner of the Star.
 As to the duel mentioned by Mr, Marion, it was fought by Uncle Bill Oury, within the shade of d large cottonwood, which yet stands near the spring, little above and south of Tucson. This duel was fought with muskets, at l6 plces, Uncle Bills antagonist coming out of this fight second best.

On the 21st ot September last, during Charles Hendergast's ab- sence from his ranch, 14 miles northwest of Phoenix, a Mexican laborer stole his valuable horse, Jasper, brought it to town and sold the same. Marshal Blankenship recovered and returned the horse five days later. At l 30 this morn- he arrested Jacinto Salez, who is charged with the crime. Marshal Billy laid for two hours on a man. ure heap waiting for his prisoner to walk into the trap.
