A CURIOUS SAFE.


The following story Of a queer
find comes from Idaho: 'sMr. Ben
son, a dairyman who has resided
in ketchHm for the last two or
three years, has an old wagon
which he bought eight years ago
in Boise City. The wagon has
been in use nearly all the time
ever since. One day last June
Mr.. Benson was going over the
summit with his wagon when some
thing broke. In examining the
wagon he found a piece of tin
which had been tackled on had
come loose, and in taking the tin
Of two bars Of gold dropped out.
It.appeared that hole had been
cut in the wood, the bars placed in
this prepared space and the tin
tackled on to cover it up. Mr..
Benson sold the two bars of gold
for $1,70O. Mr. B. formerly re.
sided in or near Boise City, but
who the man is that converted his
wagon into a portable safe will
very likely never be known.

IT required seven years of hard
fighting and a much longer period
of preparatory work, to drive out
of our country the doctrine of the
divine right of kings. That of the
divine right of judges to render
corrupt decisions that must not be
so characterized without liability to
fine and imprisonment by decree
of the official implicated is much
more tar-reaching than that which
the men of 1776 fought to sup
press.

A Maine Wild Beast Den.

1t was growing night and we
were on top of a barren mountain;
but we had great hopes that by
pressing on with our utmost speed
we might cross the top and de-
scend far enough on the opposite
side to reach the timber and SO
make fire and shelter for the
night. A stified cry caused me to
stop and look around, and as | was
a little in advance of Mr.. Prentice,
who had fallen into a crevice or
fissure a little on one side from
the path / had taken; and in
answering his call | found he had
slipped down fifteen or twenty
feet in a narrow seam in the ledge,
and was sitting on a shelf of the
rock that protruded out over a
large, dark place, which appeared
to be room. [ asked him if he
was much hurt, and he said he had
sprained Ills wrist-he guessed
that was all. | worked myself
down toward him with difficulty,
and found it next to impossible for
US to get up again that way; so,
worming our way carefully down
by stepping OH and clinglng to
projecting spurs of the ledge, we
soon found ourselves in a large
room, and fearing to advance in
the darkness, / gathered some dry
sticks and leaves that had fallen
or had been blown into the crevice,
and lighted a torch.
The room itself was oblong, per-
haps 20 by 40 feet, and its irregu-
lar sides might be 30 feet high.
We did not stop long to examine
the beauties of this cave, feeling
it possible that we were prisoners
in this lonesome den, but began to
search for some opening to make
our way out; but what was our sur
prise and horror on looking about
to find bones and skulls of animals
scattered promiscuously about the
place, some of which were very
large and different from anything
we had ever seen before, although
we had hunted and killed all kinds
of wild animals indigenous to this
part Of the country.
Going around the unequal sides
of the room we discovered a
passageway, long and narrow
leading into another apartment
through which ran a small stream
or brook, out of whose sands we
brought away specimens having
the appearance of gold; and listen.
ing we could hear the growing
and ,snarling Of some large animal
which appeared to be some dis
tance further into the mountain
This gave us quite an impetus te
escape if possible from our seem
ing prison.
Creeping along a well-worn path
way on the south side of the cave
we discovered a glimpse of day
light in the distance, and lost nc
time in following the pathway out

CONTEN TMENT.

The moments speed like fairy gifts;
The sun is kindly bright, ..
As through the half-closed lattice Sits
The mornings welcome light. ~
Fhe air is balmy and serene,
Refreshing nights repose;
The day is pleasant in each scene,
And tranquil in it's close.
There's beauty passing on the street
In lawn or sober black;
There's poetry in all you meet,
Of happiness no lack.
IT'S joy to bask meath fortunes smile,
Though followed by frown;
In bliss complete I'll live awhile
My wife is out of town..

The Alexander Sullivan held in Chicago te answer the charge of hs participation in the murder of Dr. Cronin, is, the Santa Fe New Mexican alleges, the same person who once published a Democratic newspaper in that place, which, from our reeollee- tipn of 1t, we class as of the pyrO.sch- nc order. Should the statement of the New Mexican prove true tAat the Alexander Sullivan now under the judicial harrow in Chicago is the Santa Fe celebrity who left there under cloud, a further inquiry into his record will find his name booked in the criminal docket upen the charge of feloniously taking human life, and if VIC are not mistaken, he plead jus tiGcation and was acquitted of the charge. As it is historically true that there were two DremIos, may there not also have been two Alexander Sul- hvans in Chicago to fill the public eye? l? We know of our own knowledge that the Santa Fe Sullivan went from that anclsnt pueblo, as straight as the crow flies, to Chicago, where we heard of him in after years, deeply concerned and laboring in ward meetings for the preservation of the Union,

The rapidlty with which the arable lands Tn the United States are being absorbed and brought under cultiva. tion, shows the necessity for imme- diate steps being taken to reclaim the arid lands of the West. It appears from the May report ofthe statistician of the Department of Agriculture that the area under the four principal arabic crops--corn, wheat, oats and cotton increased from 128,000,000 acres in 1879 to 169,000,000 acres in 1888. This represents an expansion in nine years of the area under these crops, of 3l 100000 acres, or an extent of land more than equaling the entire area of the three northern New En- gland States. If this ratio of increase holds good in all titled and grass lands, we have now a total area oI improved lands in farms of 356,000,000 acres as compared with 2S5,000,0oC acres in 1879, or an increase almost equal to the total surface area of New England, New York and New Jersey equallng the entire area of improved land in 1880 in the eleven cotton States, with the addition of Delaware and Maryland.

The Swiss method of slaughtering cattle seems at once humane and prae- tical. Tho consular report on dairy farming describes 1t as mask Of iron which fits the skull closely and Is buckled on. In the center is a steel barrel ten inches long Tn which a SS- caliber cartridge is placed A steel needle projects outside. When all IS in readiness tap on the projecting needle with hammer discharges tue cartridge, which piercez the center of the brain and lodges in the sp,nal mar row, producing instant and painless death. The animal is instantly bled This meshod should take the place oi the clumsy and brutal methods of our own land.

June 22d tho BELT discreditcd the statement that it was fixed fact that the Chirieahuas were to be returned from Alabama and again turned loose upon the San Carlos reservation. We are now Tn possession of information which satisfies us that the Government never contemplated the perpetration of such an outrage. Upon the autaor- ity of Adj. Gen. Kelton it is asserted that Geronimo and his band will never be returned to Arizona. It is quite probable that the place of thelr permanent location has been deter mined ere this, and, doubtless, will be in the mountains of northern Ala bama. When everything Is definitely settled, Geronimo who IS now under the ban and an exile, will be restored to his tribe and accompany them to where, only in inauguration, he will be permitted 10 indulge in the bloody pastime of wantonly sacrificing hu. man life.
 Our old friend Captain F. E. Pierce, of Bsnicia Barracks, California, who was ordered to Washington for con sultation regarding the Apaches, re- gently under his charge at San Carlos, is doubtless there before this tune, and IS so thoroughly informed in relation to thair necessities, management, etc., that 1t would be well for the Govern ment to heed his advice, even if in conflict with that of the numerous throng of ladian Inspectors who know just enough of the aborigines and thelr management to be mistaken.

John II. Oberly, the Democratic Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Ire tires and is to be superseded by Thomas J. Morgan, Republican, one of the members of the Indian Rights Association, composed of philanthropy ic and well-mcaning individuals who appear to know less about Indians than they think they do, but, not withstanding, so far as the West IS concerned, there is not tosS-up in choice between 0berly and Morgan. The latter gentleman suited the Indian Rights Association to T, and which, through it's secretary, Herbert Welsh, urged the retention of 0berly at the head of the Indian Bureau, and fail ing in that, procured the appointment of Morgan.
 Under the circumstances, Arizona g only hope is in the over-ruhng control of President Harrison, or Secretary of the Interior Noble, both Western men, who, doubtless, will regard the rights of the whites as paramount to the Apaches- which was not the case during the Cleveland administration, whe accepted the opinion of General Sheridan, and acted accordingly until General Miles interposed in behalf O! the whites, from which time tht, thrill ling echs of Geronimos war wheop ceased to reverberate throughout southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and the sister States, Chihuahua and Sonera, of tho Repub lie of Mexico, and since which time the debt of gratitude is fonCly mir rored, from grateful hearts, il, warm acknowledgements to Genera! Miles for his quietlng influence upeIt those enee beleagued sections,
 Although the West may be i,ppre- hsnsive that the installment of an Indian rights sympathizer as chief ot the Indian bureau bodes them 70 good, we can not believe that its fature is quite as dark as the gloss of the ravens wIng.

 During the spring of Is7I, while working fin the field at my home in Morgan county, Ga, pulled of ny shoes to give my feet rest. Unfortunately, walked into clunp of poison oak, and in few days my feet were in a terrible condition, and could not put on shoe because of the soreness and swelling. was treated as poison oak cases usually are, and everything was healed up. About the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every succeeding spring for five years brought back the same condition of the dis ease, only each time it became more dis tressing, because began to think it was a lifetime trouble. Finally, wss induced to try Swift's Specific. l took six bottles, and to-day am entirely we'll My improvement was gradual from the first and TO evidence of the disease remains l shall take pleas urc in testifying as to it's curative proper ties.

The copper market has been fairly
 well sustained, the deliveries during the first half eff June, especially in Europe, being large, and further da- crease in visible supplies, during that period, of 3900 tons IS reported. Quo tations for Lake brands are firm at l2c., while sales of casting brands are reported at 10a to 10ac. The decrease Tn visible supplies IS probably ex- plained by the fact that some of the mines are holding back their product.

The Commissioner of Internal Rev enue has called the attention of the Secretary of the Interior to the swind- ling operations practiced by U. $. off cers in Alabama, in making cases of alleged violations of law on slight pre- texts for the purpose of making fees for themselves, and such of their friends whom they desired should profit by their iniqultous conduct. The matter has been referred to the Attorney General for such action as he may deem advisable.
 The officers accused of being crooked are appointees of Grover Cleveland, and while reference is made to those only In Alabama, 1t Is well ascer- tained fact that Arizona has also suf- tered from tho more than questionable acts of some of his appointees, but as human nature is tho same, it IS net proper to charge Democracy alone with being impure, for thereason that it is morally certain that there are these who havo held oflicial positions in Arizona, and elsewhere, under Repub- lcan administrations who have and will fill dishenorable graves. As a
 
 rule, such men, like the small boy at the circus, are ambitious to occupy q front seat and are not unlike the lilies of the valley, as they neither toll nor spin, but they are generally endowed with the gift of gab and q superabun- dance of impudence, which serves them to ''cut shine" and in whose presence oracles are dumb. Thelr chef object in life IS to hold office and no soooner are they out of one office than they press their claims fer an other; and they generally get there, not because of any merit in them selves, but because of their continual ly shaking hands with John Doe and Richard Roe and of their frequency in popping up, like Jack in the box, in political meetings, representing them selves as the delegates of justice and truth, but ia reality little less, in kind, than the fy-blow that generates the maggot that labors to be on top.
