 Los ANGELES, July L. The where abouts of Mrs. John Bradbury and II. Russell Ward, who are supposed to have eloped toget her yesterday. are not known in this city, and ap- parently none of those who arc most interest are attempting to 6nd out. Col. Bradbury has caused to have published a statement that he will not be responsible for auy debts contracted by his wife, and D yond that he seems to have no interest in the case. He was seen down town at his club early this morning. The pair are supposed to be on their way 10 Australia, via San Francisco. There is a we'll authenticated story that Ward secured the services of the Friends steam launch, and to- gether with Mrs. Bradbury and a friond left San Pedro last night at a late hour. Bradbury has, it is said, employed detectives. It is supposed that Mrs. Bradbury succeeded in raising money on her jewels yester- day. The objective point of the runaway couple is presumed to be Honolulu, and from there to Aus tralia.

rhr m,la Mrnina,nn..

Chas. Meadows ads mot with a very Sggravating disappointment in connection with hls Wild West Show. After spending two or three days among the Pima Indians, he succeeded in securing the services of lot of them, and left them with Frank Prothero to attend to seeing them of for Prescott, expecting them on yesterday mornings train. He states that he arrange d with the railroad company for the transpor- tation of the Indians to Prescott in an empty coal car. Prothero writes to him that he had the Indians at the depot, but that full fare Of $S.2 was demanded for each of them. As he was not prepared to pay this, the Indians did not come, but return, d to their reservation.
 No one regrets more than Mir. Meadows the misunderstanding which prevented him fron getting these Indians, but Haulapai Charley and his followers will take the place of the Pima Indians that were to hold up the mail coach.

F.S. Ne,her,on serlou.lr Iniar.ar

Late this afternoon word was re- ceived in this city that MT. r. J. Netherton, ex-terTitorial superin- tendent of public instruction. had been thrown from horse at Mesa and seriously injured.
 From what can he learned of the accident. it appears that Mir. Meth erton, who has recently embarked m the butcher business at Mesa City, with a number of men, went out this morning to gather and drive to Mesa bunch of cattle for the shop. The cattle were beng driven into town, when several of the animals turned down a side road, aud Mir. Netherton, on his horse, dashed after them to bring them back. When the cattle stopped and turned, Mir. Nether;on's horse, which is trained to such work, stopped sud. denly, and Mir. Netherton, not ex- pecting it, went over it's head. He struck the ground on his forehead and face, smashing the bones of the for, head, breaking his nose and ter ribly lacerating both eyes.
 It is not known at the present time whether the injuries will result fatally.-Phenix Herald.

The Juh,is. Poem.

Samples of Alfred Austin's jubilee poem have been given to the news papers. The poem itself is meas ured by the yard rather than by the foot, and no editor at first ventured to print the whole of it. It is fairly representative of Mir. Austin, and entirely inoifensiye. Mir. Austin has always been pinafore poet, Snd his proudest boast has been that his iingles could be repeated to child with the safety and effect ol dose oI Mrs. Winslnw's soothing syrup. Mr. Austin's jubilee poem sustains his previous reputation in this line. There is not tho slightest bit of seditiOn, sensation or suggestiyeness in the whole thirty verses. It is as safe as bowl of bread and milk.
 The opening stanzA is peaceful and pastoral; in fact, it IS bovine. Listen to this:
 ''rhs Lark vent up."
 This is a noteworthy incident of the Queens raign. The lark weat up. Larks some times go down, or they got dizzy and take their patrons home in crooked paths of iuebriaty; but this particular lark with which NIT. Austin was acquainted went up. This happened sixty years ago.
 Tho mower wlset his scyths"
 NIT. Austin does not explain why tho mower should have been whet- ting scythes when so great an event as he Queen's coronation was on, but whet 1t he did. Perhaps he did not know there was any Queen. He did not vote for her.
 Mir. Austin here draws a long breath and goes on:
 ''On golden meads hine rurninAtins lay"
 In this Is shown the solid and we'll poised character of the British mind. The kinr, instead of flashing wildly around m search of free sil- yer and things, lay on golden meads and ruminated. Many people would be very happy to ruminate if they could lie on golden meads and do it. The kine was in luck. But what their ruminating had to do with the Queens coronation is not expressly stated. Perhaps they were resolving to be better cows in future. The rest of the verse is a reckless and sweeping statement that "All the world felt young and blithe just as today" We wish all the world felt as young as Mir. Austin acts. It would be fresh snd beautiful sight.
 Cautiously thus, foot by foot, Mr. Austin lets himself down to this historical statement:
 They placed crown upon her fair. young
 brow,
 They pat seepter in her sirlish hand. saying; Behold, you arc tho sovereign lady
 now or this sroat land.'
 This evidently has something to do with the coronation, and though 1t IS not a gorgeously poetical state meut, it is lucid and inst tructive. The youth Of Britain will under stand from this that the Queen was crowned.-Washingion Times.

aoaey.s for July.

With it's July number Godey's (the oldest monthly magazine in America) enters upon it's sixty eighth year of continuous publica- ton, and celebrates the event by the issue of an Anniversary Mum Der, the title cover of which is reproduction of the first cover ever used by the magazine. This cover is a quaint reminder of the years that are long passed. and will in terest many people. 1t suggests a striking contrast when compared with the magazine covers of this time, and is worth keeping as q curiosity.
 The general contents of this issue taken as a whole make what it's editors believe to be the best num- Der of G odey's ever published. AL most every kind of topic appears, the illustrations are peculiarly fine and varied, and the poems are strong, striking and original in con eeption. The Godey Company, Lafayette Place. New York.

Montague Island.

From Yuma to Montague Island IS only 65 miles. Over an almost dead level mesa, along the west edge of which lies the SIch bottom lands of the Colorado river. No place on the Pacific Coast possesses more natural advantages than the Island for both q summer and winter resort. Within easy reach are the celebrated clam flats, the shell bank, the hot mineral springs of Santa Clara, the fine duck, wild geese and crane hunting of Coio- rado and the Hardie rivers. the wild hog of the Hardie, the finest fishing of the world, the oysters and shell fish of San Filepc, and not too far away the deer and antelope of the hills and mountains and the thou sands of hot and cold mineral springs, and the mud and other volcanoes of Cocopah. If the road was built today it would be the most popular resort on the Pacific Coast. It has the most even climate in the United States, never cold. never hot, no fogs, no frost, almost the the same the year round. At the Island the water is fresh twice in every z4 hours, and salt twice during the same time. Salt when the tide comes in, aud fresh when it is out and the waters of the Colo rado run past it. The tide rises 32 feet. Just think of 1t only two hours from Yuma. What a resort 1t will be. What others than Yuma's 400" can go to the seashore. Montague Island covers nearly 1000 acres. The time is not far distant when Yuma will have one of the best health and pleasure resorts in America-SentineI.

No Msshlsss Wanted

PHILADEEPHIA, June 25. Tho Phil adelphia Ledgar promises 10 enloy before louglns distinction of being the only leading paper in the United States set up entirely by hand. 1t is understood that, in response to oYertures from a number of manu lecturers of various type-setting machines, Publisher George w. Childs Drexel has given it out flat footed that no machines will be in troduced into the Ledger office dur ing his lifetime, or certainly dur ing his control of the paper. This decision Is in strict accordance with the policy laid down by the late George w. Childs, who regarded his printers as a portion of his per sonal family, and refused D con sider any proposition for the equip. ment ot the Ledg,r with type-set- ting machines. on the ground that he would not be party to the throwing of single one of his printers out of employment. AL though tho carrying out this decis- ion was not made binding upon Mir. Drexel. he has decided upon his own volition to follow iu the foot steps of his distinguished predeces- sor, and while the old men arc still at the case, many new ones have been added to meet the require ments of the large paper, with the certainty that they can live and die in Ledger harness if they are so minded. The Ledger is now the only paper in this city not set by machine, and it's faithfuluess to the old "typo" means m additional ex- oenditure of Q good many thousand dollars monthly as compared with the composition bills of its contem- poraries.

Too Useful.

When person imagines that his
experience and usefulness is so great that
his employers, the church, party or COM
munity cannot get along without him,
that moment his usefulness is ended, and
the time has arrived for putting him on a
''back seat" The "swelled head" disease
is seldom curable-or at least it takes a
long time to recover from it. The follow
ing from the Business Journal is a fair
illustration of this fact:
Mr.. L a good natured German, was
the proprietor of a clothing busi-
ness in country town. He had 10 his
employ one John s, whom he had
advanced from cash boy to head clerk 4.
Since his promotion John had several
times asked for raise iu his salary, and
each time his request had been granted.
One morning John again appeared before
the old merchants desk with another
request for an increase of ten dollars per
month.
"Vy, Shon," said MIR. L, II dink l
bays you pooty veil alretty; vat for l
bays you any more?"
"Well," replied John confidently. 81
am your principal help here. know
every detail of the business, and, indeed.
l think you could not get along without
me.3'
ssIs that SOP" exclaimed the German.
"Doonder. Shon, would do suppose you
vas to die?''
"Well," hesitated John, 81 suppose
you would have to get along without me
then"
The "old man" took several W hiffs from
his big pipe and said nothing,
At last he remarked: "Vell, Shon,
guess pou petter consider yourself dead"
