Startling Discovery.
J. KNOX CoRBETT, P. NJ.

The discovery by the inhabitants of locality hitherto unvisited by the pesti- lent scourage of fever and ague, that it exists in their very midst, is decidedly startling, Such discoveries are made at every season, in every part of the Union. Subsequently, when 1t is ascertained, as it invariably is at such times, through the valuable experience of some one who has been benefited and cured, that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is thor oughly effieacious eradicator of the ma larial posion, and means of fortifying the system against it, feeling of more security and tranquility reigns through out the whole neighborhoo6. Besides the febrile forms of malarial disease, dumb ague and ague cake are removed by the potent action of the Bitters to which science slso gives its sanction as a remedy for rheumatism, dyspepsia, con- stipation, liver complaint, debility, kid ney troubles, and all diseases impairing the organs of digestion and asslmila- tion.

Copper.

James Lewis & Sons, of London, in their August report on ores and met als say of copper:
 The past month has been notable for the sale by the French Bankers of the balance of the copper upon which they had made advances to the Societe dis Meteaux, with the exception of 1000 tons Cape B. S., subject to litigation, and few hundred tons of manufactured copper.
 The reduction of the quantity of cop per held on account of the Society des Meteaux from 179,OO0 tons to little more than 1000 tons in the course of sixteen months, the value having in the mean time advanced about e20 per son, shows not only good management on the part of the vendera, but also to what low ebb stocks held by consumers in all parts of the world had been reduced. The enormous consumption of copper during this period is also largely due to the greatly extended use of copper wire for electrical purposes, and of sul- phate of copper for the prevention of disease in vines. As far as We can learn, the manufacture of sulphate of copper will probably absorb 10000 tons more copper this year than last. Al ter the large deliveries of the two pre- vious months, reducing the stocks 16,- 53S tons, those of the past month have been on a more moderate scale, and the reduction is only 891 tons. Consumers have bought largely of matte, but defer taking delivery until they require it.
 In the United States the demand con- tinues large, and Lake Superior ingots ton, with 2h per cent, discount. Four matte have been shipped from here to New York, and we understand further quantity is going.-Silver Belt.

WHICH WAS RIGHT.
AFev.Remarks On A Case Of News.

On the 29th the CITIZEN published the following news Item in it's columns:
 The CITIZEN is in possession of infor- nation which it considers reliable, stat ing that Gov. Wolfiey has been removed from office on the strength of charges preferred at Washington. It is also said that an Indiana man has been chosen for the position. The news will not be especially startling to those who have watched the governors course since the opening of his administration.
 The same report was sent to the as- sociated press. As was stated the Orr HEN considered it authentic. In point of fact it knew what it was printing. That night the associated press correspondent at Phenix without and knowledge of the situation but presuming upon the fact that nothing escapes his mental grasp sent the following incorrect re- port to be printed all over the country:
 PHENIx, Aug. 29.-The report sent out from Tucson saying that Gov. Vol Hey had been removed is without found ation. It is emanated from false reports circulated here yesterday by enemies of the governor. He is out Of town, but a close friend of the governor said to- night" 1t is preposterous to say the gov ernor aas been removed without hear ing. He has gone to Washington, it is true, but he is fighter and he'll down his enemies".
 The following day a dispatch from Washington as subjourned.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-At the re- quest of the secretary of the interior, Governor Wolfiey (Arizona) resigned his office and his resignation was accept ed. In response to request for state ment as to the cause of Wolf1ey's retire ment. Secretary Noble to night said:
 "Wolfiey's personal or official char acter has not been brought into question He was an honorable gentlemen as he (secretary) had been for many years and was still his friend, yet while this was so, he believed with the president that change would be in the interest Of all concerned. Murphy, secretary of state. will act as governor until Wolfley's successor shall be appointed. We simp- y desire to call the publics attention to the fact that the CITIZEN prints noth- ing sensational at the expense of facts. When news is not authenticated it is not printed-in the CITIZEN.

In the Land of Silver.

St. Louis letter to the New York Sun: The moment you get west of the Miss issippi you are made to know at once that you are approaching the region where gold and silver are dug from the earth by the practical use of it as cur rency. If you hand out i've dollar bill in New York to pay for some small pur- chase you will get one and two dollar bills in change except for the fractional part of a dollar. Here you will get all your change in silver. Big round sil- yer dollars are plenty-in everybody's pockets. Gold is also in wide common use, as you will find if it becomes neces- sary to "break" into twenty or fifty dollar bill. I am told that the negroes who comprise large proportion of the laboring population here, prefer silver to paper money, ana hoard it away as tangible evidence of their accommodating surplus of earnings.

AN illustration of the strength and value to a community of a great news paper was given last week in San Fran cisco. Albert H. Mum, d bookkeeper by profession, was arrested in that city June 9th, charged with being Frank Williams, a deserter from the U. S.. Army. Mum strenously denied being anybody but himself, notwithstanding which he has been confined in the gov ernment prison at Alcatraz. Since that date the Chronicle became satisfied that it was a case of mistaken identity, and has 80 consistently searched every nook and cranny for evidence, that Mum hasjbeen discharged. The pessimist who is inclined to look through the glass of progress darkly, will find in this action, of the Chronicle something to commend. Papers may err, and are many times mistaken, for they are guided by human hands, but when a great paper throws the full strength of its power in favor of a poor and unknown man, there is room to believe that they are not always sordld.

MURDER WILL OUT.
ANTONIO YEPPA, A FUGITIVE
 FROM JUSTICE SINCE 1886.
Arrested at Levin's Park and Held
 for Murder.

The old trite saying, that murder will out is verified ID the case of Antonio Yeppa, who came as bridegroom to the Feast, and remains prisoner, charged with the crime of murder.
 In 1886 Antonio Yeppa, the prisoner, and HoseoHario Burden the victim, pa ss- ed a night of revelry at rodeo near Tu- bac Mescal flowed freely and the whilom friends became quarrelsome. Words led to blows, and in the early morning Burdon was found in an unconscious state, his head badly beaten with the butt end of pistol. The affray occurred near the house gof Frank Proctor, and hereIthe wounded man was carried to be cared for. Yeppa also came to Proc tors for breakfast. During the meal Proctor stepped into the room for the purpose of getting his winchester, but Yeppa had his suspicious aroused and together with Mexican named Ce- roz fled. They were pursued by Proctor and two Mexicans to the Santa Cruz, where the trail diverged, one going up, the other down the river. The pur- suing party divided, Proctor and one Mexican gong down, the other Mexican going up. Proctor soon found he was on the wrong trail and returned. The Mexican followed the fugetive as far as Arivaca, where all clue was lost and the murderer reached Sonora. Here he has remained since, em- ployed portion of the time as a guard, but always under the viligent eyes of the American officers.
 Believing the matter forgotten, An tonio crossed the llne last week with the intention of spending a week or two at the feast in this city. Following the morning of his arrival, Marshal Roche and Sheriff Shaw spotted him in Levin's Park, and he was immediately arrested.
 Antonio will have ample cause to re- member the Feast of San Augustine.
