COMM THROUGH THE RYE-T. F., City,
Inc duerist wishes to know IT, when Burns
wrote the song that has been sung by so many,
ne referred TO field of grain or 10 the River

song IS unknown, but it was entered at Sta
uoners' Hall, London, June %, 1885, and was
sung Dy Mrs. Henly at The Royal circus IN
pdntomime called Harlequin Mariner" The
nfst slanza OF The original song IS as follows:
II body meet body
Gong to the fair.
Ii body KISS a body
Need body care
Burns touched up" this song and from the
language uSec there can be no DOUBT mat he
meant The River Rye. What he wrote READS:
Comm through the Rye, poor body,
COMM thr ugh the Rye:
She draigleU a her pettlc0Ie
Comm through the Rye
Oh, Jenny's a wat, poor body,
Jenny's seldom dry.
She draiglet her peJticote
Comm through the Rye.
Gin body meet body
Comm through thu Rye,
Gin body kiss d body
Need body cry?
Comm through the glen,

One who has analyZ'd many OF the Old-time
songs saws in a book published some years
since: $50 we see that the popular Idea of the
song as having reference 10 passing through
field of grain is erroneous. 1t furnishes a
striking example of the popular cOmprehen-

catches word instead of an idea" In printed

That Loan Commission scandal

In the receut campaign every thing possible was done to side track Oakes Murphy. The demo crats stopped to the dirtiest cam paigu work ever perpetrated in the territory. They accused Murphy of stealing about SlS,090 in the fund ing bond transaction.
 MT. Murphy may have been guilty, but if he was. why did not the democrats go a. it in business like way, and commence both civil and criminal proceedings against him in the courts, instead of using it stn- ply for mud slinging7 The only reason we can think of is that they the democrats-are now, or intend in the future, doing just such work as they accuse Murphy of doing, and they desired to protect him in order that they might be protected when found out. They expected to beat him by the methods they employed without resorting 10 the courts.
 Now, the party leaders have a ~hunch." They see great promise of state election in the near future; the senate committee has decided 10 place the statehood bill on the preferred list, and it will, in all probability, pass at this session; they see what a strong candidate Mr. Murphy will be for the United States senate. and they have decided that they must do something to kill his chances. They have, accord. ingly, at this late day, commenced an injunction suit to prevent the payment of the Loan Commission warrants.
 This is a cheap way of getting powder to be used in making a noise in the state election. How dramatic ally, and with what pride" Znhck, Herndon, Heney and others will point to what they saved the terri tory. We imagine we hear the boom of that big gun now; but, gentle men, it won't work, the voters will see what you do is from a selfish motive and not in the interest Of the people.

Gilmore & Bradbury are working their Zero mine, the lease and bond having expired under which 1t has been worked during the past year.
 Notwithstanding the low price of silver. Tombstone is said to be turning out 150 tons of ore weekly that brings back from the smelter between $9,0O0 and Sl0,O0O. In addition to this her miners, are piling up great reserves of mineral against the rehabilitation of silver, which seems to be drawing nearer every day.
 On Oak creek, tributary of the Hassayampa, some very rich placer ground has been recently discovered and is being worked now, giving a yield of several thousand dollars in the yellow metal. In consequence. quite a boom has been noticed there and m any miners have been running thither. in many instances only to be disappointed in not securing the much coveted ground. Consider able of the dust has been shipped to Prescott. being of coarse char scter and rated high in quality.
 4 party of Colorado miners re- gently left Prescott, and are now busily engaged iu constructing, at Walnut Grove, a new placer mining machine, which is as unique as 1t is new, but answering, nevertheless, all purposes in placer mining, it is claimed by the owners that wet gravel can be as successfully handled as dry, and tests made with both characters of dirt give gratifying results. This new invention can be easily transported by three men to auy location desired and in mechan- ism is quite complicated. The own CTS have secured lease of several acres of dry ground owned by Hon. A. \. Moore. near Walnut Grove, and are now working the same.
 Castle creek, particularly that portion near Briggs, seems to be the favorite location sought after at present by the mining element, probably on account of the mild weather that is prevailing there, and the result is the discovery of several mines, which. on the surface. show indications of wonderful wealth. Hardly a day passes but what some prospector comes in with his fortune" while the hills and gulches everywhere contain numberless prospectors. An ad- vantage this district has over many others, lies in the free milling char acter of its ores. Universally, the croppings on all lodges are free, and as depth is reached, the ores retain their character, a very small percentage of the rock on some of the older mines containing sul- phurets. The district also has an abundance of water, and in very short time it will undoubtedly be the scene of a very active career.

THEY SHOULD RE HANGED.

A few days ago in Arizona, traia robher, who held up a train on the Southern Pacific Railway, in that territory, was convicted and sen fenced to hang, the jury being only out half an hour.
 This Is in accordance with a law passed by the Arizona Legislature a few years ago, inflic,ing the death penalty for train robbery. In this case, the robbery did not result in any loss of life, and the robbers only secured a small booty from Wells Fargo's ear.
 1t Is announced that an appeal will be taken, and that it is gener- ally the opinion of lawyers ia he territory that the law making train robbing a capital olfense is uncoa- stitutional, and that the Supreme Court of the Territory will order a new trial in the case of this criminal oo a simple charge of robbery.
 In the interest of law and order, 1t IS sincerely to be hoped that this opinion is not we'll founded. When Arizona made train robbing a capi tai ofFense, it was generally hailed throughout the country as a move iu the right direction.
 The man who puts a mask on his face, takes shot gun in his hands, places an obstruction on the track. and holds up train, is self-con- victed murderer at heart, although his action may not in every case, result in the loss of life. He knows we'll when he starts upon his enterprise that she chances are that some life will be sacrificed. He is prepared, if necessary, to take life, to take innocent life, to take the lives of men, or perhaps of women or children who have never done him any harm, whom he does not even know. Such a man is far more of murderer, a brutal, das. tardly, deliberate murderer, mur- deIer for revenue only, an altogether despicable and death deserving criminal, than man who. while in- asmed with momentary passion or under the influence of strong drink, plunges a knife into the heart of man for whose restoration to life he would perhaps a moment later be willing to sacrifice his own.
 Yes, indeed, Train robbery is murder, and if the Arizona law making such a crime punishable with death is contrary to the con stitution of the United States, then the sooner that constitution is so modified as to suit the require ments of condition of affairs that was never contemplated by the founders of the union, the better will it be for this country-for hu- manity. y.--Lcs Angeles Times.

Arsaoe omoer.s outbreak.

J. F. Shropshire, special deputy constable from Walnut Gro7e, created quite a bloody disturbance this morning in Attorney Hartman's office, over the National Bank, and a warrant is out for his arrest. It seems that he secured warrant from Justice Jeff Davis, of Walnut Grove. for the arrest of man named L. K. Troxel. The latter was in Prescott, and Shropshire made the arrest on Saturday. The charge on which the warrant was issued, it is alleged, was that Troxel was in- debted to Shropshire to the amount of S75. After spending Saturday night in jail, Troxel was released from custody. This morning while he was seated in the office of his attorney, and while the latter was absent, Shropshire entered and assaulted TFoxel, handling him pretty roughly, and causing blood to flow freely. In the melee several articles of furniture were broken. The occupants of an adjoining office, being attracted by the noise, went to Troxefs relief. and pulled his assailant of, when the latter went down stairs, mounted a horse tied there, and started south on a galiop. 4 warrant was placed in Deputy Sheriff Merritt's hands, who started in hot pursuit of the deputy uonstabla,

Aletter from the Archduke Joseph, the only member of the imperial family who resides permanently in Hungary, which has just been pub hshed. gives a pleasant picture of the relations between himself and Moritz Jokai. It incidentally mentions that it was on the suggestion of the great Hungarian author that the archduke published his own work on the gypsy language. While Moritz Jokai was staying at the archduke's country house the latter remarked that his guest WAS in the habit of constantly jotting down notes on separate slips of paper, whether at home, out walk. ing, talking, watching the dancers, or in the vineyard-in short, every where.
 This excited the curiosity of his host, who was not Q little surprised to hear in reply to his inquiry that all these fragments were part of a novel he was then writing and were sent of direct to the press. Arch duke Joseph says that he read the work with special interest, looking attentively for any indications of the manner in which it had been com posed, but could not find the slightest trace of discontinuity. ty.-Vienna Cor.

 Under the direction of Cotton and Frankland u690-l7O5l the operations of the postoffice largely increased.

 During this same period posts were established in North America. and for some time an ocean penny post age existed between our country and that colony. A reformer called Povey set on foot a halfpenny post in Lon don, and the letters were collected by men in his employ. who rang bells to announce their approach. Povey was soon dispoSsessed of this arrangement, but letters continued to be collected by the sound of bells in London until 1S46 and in Dublin down to September. lS59.-Loudon Academy.
