AN INsULTING- LETTER.

Collector of Customs George Christ at Nogales, not satisfied with disrupting the Republican party of Arizona by his arrogant and contemptible scheme: and methods, has now turned his atten. ton to writing abusive and cowardly letters to Federal officials, that are as superior to him as a white man is to an Apache.
 U. s. Consul Delos II. Smith, who re. presents this government at Nogales Sonora, has just been made target ior the collectors vile abuse and saloon bravado, but in a geutlemanly way re- plies to the collectors letter and hangs that persons hide on the fence to dry.
 Consul Smith has filled his position with dignity to himself and credit tc the government, but because the col lector happens to be unable to control him he abuses MT. Smith in that man. ner peculiar only to himself and that class oi people with whom he IS thor. oughly at home.
 The correspondence, which We pub. fish elsewhere, will not injure Mir. Smith but it impairs the further usefulness o Collector Christ in Arizona, either as ( public official or as the assumed boss o the Republican party.

 Colonel Henry s. Olcott used to be shrewd, very able newspaper man, for a time particularly active in ferreting out fraud and humbug. Punishment for this may now have overtaken him in the shape of tendency to believe what his fellow men declare to be arrant non sense. Colonel Olcott, in brief, declares there are mahatmas, that he has seen and talked with them, and that, most staggering of all, they have sent him letters by psychic telegraph. That is to say, they understand the laws of matter so we'll, in their high and mighty way, that they can take a letter, dissolve it into its primordial atoms, in that shape wait it across a continent, then, by sheer force of their "larnin," put the atoms together again and make it fiutter and fall in real, solid, tangible shape at the feet of the person for whom it is de- signed.
 Now Colonel Olcott, once a newspaper man, who therefore ought to know bet ter, informs us that he himself has actu- ally received such letters. and he used to be truthful man before he went to India and the mahatmas got hold of him. Meantime the New York Sun offers to give certificate of genuineness over tho editors signature, if Olcott will deliver through his mahatma postal service letter directed to a certain person not named, and inform the pub lie through any newspaper of the con- tents of the letter as obtained by the occult knowledge of his mahatmas.
 The proposition is fair enough one, Of course it is easy to take refuge in q lofty superiority and say mahatmas will not work at newspaper dictation. But then it will follow sensibly enough that nobody will believe in them. If there are mahatmas, now is their time to ap, pear to us. It is unfortunate, indeed, that such fairy tales should meet at the outset the investigator into real psychological science, thought transference, etc. There is . world of true scientific knowledge hidden hitherto from general research which we seem just on the point o grasping Under such conditions every thing that cannot verify itself according to the severest tests ought to be brushed aside like cobwebs.
