\ San Francisco telegram of June f4th says: .A letter received st the chinese consulate yesterday says that the Chiuainan ah Quang Tia hay ing been acquitted of the charge of numbering Poker Tom. the Piuts h.
 dian, st Bridgeport, Cal. was drag ged from the court room aud turned
 t,yar to the Indians, by whom he
 was cut into pieces. :.
 The Chinese consul here will
 bring the matter to the attention of
 the Washinton Government.
 The Chronicles Hawthorne. Ney.,
 special gives the ghostly details of
 the killing of the ChinaInan as fol-
 iows. Poker Tom, the Piufe In-
 dlan. disappeared five. weeks ago.
 Ills body was cut into small pieces.
 The body had been packed in brine
 and was completely pickled. An
 Tia gave the Indians . big feast a
 few days after Poker Tom disappear- esf, and served some choice delica- 'eies. which the Indians greatly rel ished. The Indians now believe that Tia made fricasse of Toms head sud heart and served it at the feast.
 Last Monday night the Chinaman gave himself up to the police, as he feared an attack from the Indians, The Indians kept gusrd around the jail all night, fearing that Tia would get away. The next morning Tia was arraigned on . charge of murder. He admitted the killing, but said 1t WAS done in self-1efense. He killed Tom with club, and then cut the body up to escape detection.
 The justice of the peace acquitted Tia, and as he was leaving the court room the Indians bound him with a rope, led him q half mile from town aud then brother of Tom cut of one arm. The Chinaman cried pit eously, but the Indians cut of the other arm. Then they cut off both legs and his head. They cut his breast open with clever and scat tered his entrails through the sage brush- Two hundred armed Indians were present and the butchery was witnessed by two white men. As the sheriff did not protest no one inter- 'ered with the Indians.
 Lawyers and the justice are blamed 'or acauitting Tia, as it was known hat If they turned him loose the In- fians would kill him.

n MINER is probably so called because it never contains any mining news. It is rather singular that the Demo crat should have published such an item, as the paper in question cop its very freely of the mining news m the ARIZONA MINER without even giv- ing credit.
 "Adobeland" is the name of new illustrated paper which has just been started at Albuquerque, by Messrs. Stivers x Butler. the first number of which has been received at this office. The names of the publishers has suggested the query whether the senior member of the firm may not be our old friend Tom Stivers. whom we knew twenty years ago as the brilliant city editor of the Atchison, Kansas, Champion. The first num- Der of Adobeland is quite interest ing.
 i So far as the JOURNAL MINER is concerned, 1t puts into circulation in this county annually a sum run ming into the thousands, more than is received from the immediate com munity in which it is published, not withstanding the generous and lib- eral support given to it. There are few communities in the country that give more generous support to their local papers than is given in Prescott, notwithstanding that even here some job work isimported from abroad. This generous support on the part of our people induces good patronage from outside advertisers and the money thus received as well as that received from subscribers living abroad is all put in circula. ton here. So that besides the work done by the local papers in helping to advertise the town and the terri tory they actually put money in cir culation in the town

Eight Important Advantages.

Here are some of the advantages of ir-
rigation as laid down by Walter III.
Graves, the we'll known engineer:
First-Immunity from drought.
Second-Freedom from excessive
moisture or flood.
Third-The ability to cultivate any
kind of plant permitted by the climate,
from the aquatic to that needing mini
mum amount of moisture.
Fouth-The ability to control in a
large measure the growth of the plant,
making it early or late as desired, and
sometimes growing two crops of the same
kind ON the same land during the sea-
son.
Fifth-To control the condition of the
soil, making 1T suitable for the pillow or
seed.
Sixth-TO supply certain elements to
the soil needed for plant food.
Seventh-To dissolve and wash out
certain baneful ingredients of the soil
that frequently exist in such excessive
quantities rs to destroy plant life.
EigEth-The most important advan-
tage is the fertilizing deposit left by the
waters, supplying a nutriment to the
crop and adding to and enniching the
soil.-[The Irrigation Age.

The Earth's Solar Origin.

are considered high scientific authorities
that the earth, and consequently its iron,
at one time formed part of the sun, the
term sun, as used i'll this case, being I'M
derstood 10 include not only the sun
nucleus, but also the deep covering of in
candesoent vapOrs which surrounds il,
which, for convenience, is called its at
mosphere. The investigations of chemists
and scientists withthe spectroscope have
revealed in the sun no fewer than TWEEN
ty-ANe distinct elements, all of which are
known among things terrestrial, and
there is every reason 10 believe that the
remaining elements either existed at a
former period or exist now in the sun.
Among the metals discovered in the suns
atmosphere is iron, and, in consequence
of the enormous heat, it, along with the
other metals, Is in state of vapor. Not
only is the presence of iron Enthusiastically

be expected, having respect to gravity

The splitting Is accomplished by ex-

CREOLE CONSERVATISM.
They Cling with Tenacity to the Be
longings or Ancestors.

Creole women cling with great ten
acity TO the belongings OF their an
ccstors. The antiques that bring such
marvellous sums away from New Orleans
are yielded up only upon the demands Of
urgent necessities and after many and
grievous heart-throbs. The dealers will
tell you; eyes, there Is some wonder
fully wrought furniture; there are gems
In vases and wares OF great value, and
we know where to place our hands upon
them. but no money will buy them now.

There is one old dealer on the Rue
Charities who shakes his head, shrugs his
shoulders and smiles knowingly while
he says; when they needs bread bad,
then get what want for $25, and
maybe not so much. Them old French
women, they used to be glad for So.
Somebody told them better, and now
they get greedy, too"
There died recently in the free ward
of the Charity Hospital woman who,
while in dire want held in her posses
sion furniture such as q queen might
envy, says the Illustrated American. A
few days previous to her demise she con-
sented, after many solicitations, to be
taken away from the solitude and desti-
tuition of u thrce-roomed shanty in the
third district. The little, antiquated
hut was in a most dilapidated state,
making it positive danger to ones
limbs to cross the floor. The fOun6a-

to step down from the banQuette.
Imagine in such a place furnishings that

Quality of American Soldiers.

Infantry, of course, constitutes the
main body of all modern armies, and by
the quality of its infantry an army must
be judged. The capacity of Americans
to make excellent soldiers was proved in
the war without question. That hun
dreds of thousands of men, most of them
entirely unacquainted with the elements
E cu OF discipline and drill, were trans
lvrned in so brief period into officers
aud soldiers was certainly one OF the
wonders of our time But the material
was in the main of the best the desire
TO master the new trade well-nigh uni
vcrsal and very strong; aud there were
from the beginning many opportunities
for practising what had been learned.
The armies of 1862 we're far and away
superior to the levies OF 1861. The
armies of 1868 were decidedly superior
to those OF 1862. But in 1868 it is prob
able that the highest point Of efficiency
was reached in both the Federal and
Confederate armies in the East, and GER
iainly in the Western army of the Con-
fcdcrdcy.-IS cribner.

down to play as usual, aud his luck was

skilful player he won trick after trick.
The last game he scouped the entire th;r
teen tricks. Then he retired. The fact
that he died soon after taking thirteen
tricks of whist has caused horror with
all the superstitious people OF Germany,
and assure you that they are many. Pm
