AN ExpRessMAN's HARVEST.
Queer Things the Northern Soldiers Sent
Homo From the War.

Queer Things the Northern Soldiers Sent
Homo From the War.
The greatest harvest reaped by the
principal express companies was during
the late war of the rebellion, when ev-
erything was sent and received by ex-
press, no matter what the cost. The
writer of this sketch had varied and
somewhat tedious experience in the bust
ness during that protTacted disturbance,
and was witness TO many scenes OF SOM
Der and many of a humorous character.
These were mostly seen in the returns
from the seat of war just after a battle
Sometimes after victorious Federal
action, or the capture of a rebel town,
he officers, as well as the men, made a
practice Of sending home trophies they
had captured These often were house
hold effects Of comparatively little val
ne, and cost the recipients at home
large tax for express transportation
Sometimes live stock was sent, consist
ing largely of dogs and donkeys, some
times singing bird, or fowls of pecul-
lar breed. On one occasion stalwart
negro fellow was received at the Boston
Office, sent by an officer who found he
could do nothing else with him and
Thought he might be Of use on his farm
at home The grinning darky had card
firmly fastened about his neck, giving
the address where to land him, with this
direction: Feed and grub this snigger
all that he needs.
1t was sad, however, to see the
rough boxes often piled mp outside the
Office containing the remains of the
bows in blue sent home for burial among
the scenes which they had left short
time before for the southern battlefelds.
These relics often proved burdensome
cost to their bereaved families at home.
We were always glad to forward remit
tances of money to the oftentimes dis
tressed ones at home. The business
transacted by some of the big expresses,
Adams & Co, for instance, was Of enor-
nous proportions, and added largely to
the wealth of many proprietors, the ter
rible war proving godsend to them at
least. Boston Transcript

Held by q Hair.

In gathering of officers after the
Franco Prussian war a French officer
claimed that the French nation is the
most artistic nation ON the earth, and
that her artisans can make thing of
beauty out of anything, however ordi-
nary or crude.
The great Prussian general, Won Man
teufel, who was present, plucked hair
from his shaggy beard, remarking, Let
them make something beautiful out Of
that -
The French officer sent the hair to q
friend in Paris, telling him the circum-
stances and urging that, as the Prus-
slams had defeated the French in the late
war, they should not be permitted to
defeat them in the claim to artistic SUI
premacy. Giving the hair to capable
artisan, with proper instructions, the
result was beautiful scarfpin repre-
senting a PHussian eagle, artistically
wrought In gold, standing on rock,
and depending from his beak was sin
gle hair, at the ends of which were two
beautiful gold medallions, on one OF
which was inscribed 'Alsace" and on
the other Lorraine.
Thus the artistic scarfpin aptly de-
scribed the political situation: Prussia,
as the eagle, with its conquered prov
inces dependent, but held by hair, for
the temper Of the people of Alsace and
Lorraine was bitter toward the Ger
mans, and the tie which held them was
very slight.

If our forehead is rigid with wrinkles
before 40, what will it be at 20? There
is one consoling thought about these
marks Of time and trouble-the death
angel almost always grasses them. Even
the extremely aged in death often wear
smooth and peaceful brow, thus leay-
ing our last memory of them calm and
tranquil But our business is with life.
Scowling is a silent kind of scolding.
1t shows that our souls need sweeten-
ing. For PHYS sake let us take a sad
iron, or a glad iron, or smoothing tool
Of some sort and straighten the creases
out Of our faces before they become in
delibly engraved upon our faces. -Ex-

Copper Output at Clifton.

It should be source of qualification to every citizen of Graham county to know that the mining industry at Cliff ton was never in 8 more satisfactory condition, barring of course the very low price of copper. The mines owned by the Arizona Copper Company and the Detroit Copper Company are yielding all the ore which 1t is possible to handle in the great reduction works at Clifton and Morenci. During the past year there has been @ steady increase in the shipments of copper, and there is no in- dication of a falling off in the present quantities of desirable ores for years to come; it is believed the Arizona Copper Company has enough ore in sight for a run at the present rate for twenty years. During the last six months of last year the Arizona Copper company shIp- ped 4,777,1 1l9 pounds of copper, or 2.33s tons. For the same period the Detroit Copper Company shipped 4,9l1, 1Ss pounds, or 1,955 tons of copper; the total shipments of the two companies for the six months was S,6SS, 306 pounds or 4,293 tons. This was by far the largest output for any six months in | the history of the camp. and still the in- crease is growing. For the months of Januar February and March of this year the shipments of copper by the two | companies were ss follows.
 Arizona Copper Company-Jsnuary 852 ,331 pounds or All tons; February S6O,83 pounds or 430 tons; March 1, ,l68,532 pounds or 584 tons of copper; ,9S3 pounds or 35 tons of copper matte.
 Detroit Copper Company-January 359, $50 pounds, or 19O tons; February 595 ,350 pounds or 298 tons; March 453,- 750 pounds or 225 tons.
 The shipments of gold and silver ores was very light from Clifton during the
 last half of 1894, owing to the low price of silver, but 1t is fact that there are 8 large number of silver mines in the vi cinity of Clifton that would be worked with handsome profits if silver could be
 restored to the price which it command
 ed few years ago.
 l The Bulletin reioices in the prosperity of the Clifton country; it means large and continuing market for the various products of this valley, where corn, bar ley, hay, potatoes, onions, chili, beans fruit. butter, eggs, etc., can be exchang' ed for cash at good prices. The mining
 companies are of course struggling against avery low price of copper anG
 their profits are on very narrow mar
 gin, but it is hoped that prices will soor
 be better and that the struggle fer ex
 istence will be succeeded by smoott
 sailing and handsome dividenda Ora.

WESTERN CATTLE RAISERS.
An Organization to Defend Their
 Interests is Being Formed.

CHICAGO, April 5-The Post says: 1t IS learned from sources close to the fountain head that the cattle raisers of the west are bending every effort to the perfection Of an organization during the coming season to fight the dressed beef combine. The advance in the price of beef has incensed instead ot modifying them. They claim that they are only getting small and wholly inadequate sd- vsntages from the advance in the price to consumers, the combine taking most of it and leaving them an insignificant in end of the gain.
 Cattle rsisers are now deyoting them selves to the consideration of scheme of establishing markets at Chicago, Omaha, St. Louis, Kansas City, New York and other points for the sale of cat tie for future delivery, sale to be made so cording to recognized grades and de- scriptions.

A Handsome Testimonial.

The Nogales Oasis has the following just and we'll deserved compliment to Governor Hughesi
 Although of different politics from our worthy governor, Hon. l.. c. Hughes, We are pot blinded by preju- dice, ana can See and admit the truth respecting the qualities of any public man. Knowing and appreciating the governor as we do, it has been a matter of wonder to us, why he has been made the subject of so many malignant attacks from members of his own party. It is notorious generally admitted fact that our territorial affairs have never been better administered than during the time he has been in office. It is like wise true that the gubernatorial chair has never been filled by his superior ip intelligence, moral uprightness, or one who felt and exhibited a more sincere desire to advance the interests of the territory.
