LETTER FROM FAIRFAX.
Correspondence of Alexandra Gazette

Correspondence OF alexandra Gazette.
BUSH ELL, April 13.-The good peo
pie of the Franconia ueighborhood are
to be congratulated upon the fact that
the new Methodist Church they have
recently erected is indeed reality.
The exterior has been nicely painted,
while green shutters to the eight large
windows gives it all handsome ap
pearance. The interior is, however, in
an unfinished state. Temporary seats
are arranged and stated services will be
held every two weeks, including the
usual weekly prayer meetings. Rev.
Mr.. Munday, of the NJ. E. Church, is
the stated pastor to this people, and
yesterday evening at 8 p. III. preached
an interesting discourse to a good con-
gregation that filed the house. The
building will be used for religious pur-
poses as it now is until fall, when it is
the intention to furnish the inside by
havinga double floor laid-the sides,
ends and ceiling finished with topgued
and groyed plank, which will be oiled
and vanished. They also wish to pur
chase settees and pulpit furniture.
The ladies of the church will.lenG will
ing hands ana hearts as they always do.
To all those who have assisted them in
financial way they are deeply CRATE
full, but they viii still need other help
in money to finish what has already
been begun and will be glad of any as
sistance given them iu this way, and ii
will be a good investment. A lady
friend has suggested that when the new
church is consecrated it be called
Rodgers Chapel instead of Beulah, this
would be eminently fitting and proper.
Not long since as Mr.. Marshall Scott,
at this place, was getting out timber
in the woods where he resides he came
across a percussion shell in good state
of preservation, and he is satisfied that
il was fired from Col. Arthur Herbert's
farm from what was known during the
late war as Fort Worth, as the federals
were in possession of the county at the
time. Mr.. S. will take special care OF
this interesting souvenir and will per-
haps experiment with it at pork killing
time with no serious results, we hope.

men who went adritl at st. Johns, n
F, on the ice made their way ashore or
were rescued by boats except two.
The boats got within mile of one OF
these and then lost sight of him and he
perished. The other man is supposed
to have been drowned. Several of the
rescued men were driven to eat their
leather boots before being found. Much
relief is felt that the loss Of life was so
slight, there having been only three
deaths, whereas fully a thousand men
were seal hunting on the ice.

GAGE NOT A CANDIDATE.
Bnt Would Like to See a Gold
 bug Governor.

The Journsl-Minsr published the following letter from E, B. Gage, for merly of this city and now of the Con- gress mine:
 (Edltor Journal -Miner)-In vicw of the article published in the Morning Courier to the effect that I was likely to be a candidate for the appointment of governor, I would respectfully state that l am a candidate for no political office, and would not, under any cir eumstsnces, accept an appointment. There are many Republicans in the territory who are entitled to consider a,ion politically, and st the same time much better qualified than I am. It is to be hoped, however, when . change takes place that it will not be until after full and careful consideration is given to each and every candidate ; that Arizona's interests will be placed above the wishes of ambitious men, and that her next governor will be a Republican in every sense of the word and one who was not afraid to stand sausrely on the St. Louis platform.
 Yours very truly,
 F.. B. GAGE.

UNDER THE GROUND.
A City That Exists and Flour

It is generally believed that light and iresh ar are absolute necessities to human existence, and that If the normal supply of either be cut off men cannot long exis,. It appears. how ever, that tbere is at leas, one spot on the glsbe (nr, rather, in the globe) wbere civilized community of hu- man bsings not only manage to exist, but which live in Hourishing condi- tiop in place where sunlight is ,otsl- ly unknown.
 We refer, says the Republic" to ths City Of the Salt Mines." which is situatsd several hundred feet below the surfGcs at Wielicka, Galicia. This wonderful subtsrrsnean city has . population of over 6 thousand men, women and children, scores of whom have never seen tine light of day or the earth's surfscei Thi. remarkable city has its town hall, 6 theatre and its ss- sembly room, as welt as . beautiful church decorated with ststues, all being fashioned from pure crystslizsd rock salt. It has we'll graded streets and spacious sauares, all we'll lighted with electricity. As mentioned in the foregoing, there are isolated casss in this undergrcuni city, whore no. single individual in three or four suc- cessive generations hss ever seen the sun or has any ides of how people live on the outside of the earthl Their rock-salt houses are said to be perfect santiariums, and the average longevity of the denizsns of the "City of the Salt Mines" is sAid to exceed that of the surface inhabitants of Galicia.

OLD IN EXPERIENCE.

In the eyes of Senator Thurston of
Nebraska Mr. Bryan is guilty of the
objectionable crime Of being a very
young man. zone strong objection to
Mr. Bryan Mr. Thurston is quoted
as saying. SIS his age" But Mr.. Thurs
ton needs shed no lackadaisical tears
on this account. Mr.. Bryan, it is true.
is under forty years of age. but he
has crossed the constitutional limit.
and to assume that age still initiates
against him is to challenge the ripened
judgment of the great men who drafted
the constitution. Moreover, though
Mr.. Bryan is comparatively a young
man he is many years older in expert
ence. Psychicaliy speaking. one would
judge Mr.. Bryan to be much older
than Mr.. Thurston But intellectual
disparity is not to be COMPOUNDED with
disparity in regard to years. While
Of more ripened experience. Mr.. BRYAN
is in fact several years younger thans
Mr.. Thurston. The question here
arises. How old must a man be to be
free from the incumbrance of youth?
The constitution fixes the age of the
president al not under So years. This.
age was sufficient in colonial days. and.
to say that it is not now, means to
admit that the American people are
in state Of mental retrogression. Mr..
Bryan IS an old man in experience. He
is as old in experience and older in
years than Thomas Jefferson was
when he drafted that sacred instru-
ment-the Declaration of Independence.
He is older in years than General Sher-
idan was at the close of the war. Mr..
Bryan ranges around thirty-seven
years of age. Napoleon was emperor
of France at thirty-fve. Alexander
Hamilton was just beyond thirty when
he promulgated the financial policy of
