west bound train from the track down an
embankment while running at the rate
of twenty five miles an hour. The ex-

fatally injured. The forward cars were
total wreck. The engineer and fire
man were in the engine when it stopped
rolling, the engineer holding TO the
throttle valve, and neither seriously
hurt. The escape was miraculous.

A recent telegram from Miller's
Station, Indiana, says: "The body of
Burr, who accompanied Prof. Wise in
his balloon, was washed up on the lake
shore to-day, and the Coroner is now
holding an inquest. The body was easily
identified as that of Burr by the marks
on the underclothing. The rema ms
were well preserved having evidently
been in the water for some time" That
is all that is known OF the matter. 1t
is presumable, however, that the fate OF
Prof. Wise WAS drowning also. The
balloon which was seen by the railroad
engineer to pass out over the lake at the
same point as that ut which Burr's body
was .ohnd, evidently descended in the
lake shortly after leaving the shore.

Southern men of a certain extreme
stripe of so called democratic politics
have got case before them upon which
they may fairly claim that peace hath
its victories of a sort more remarkable
than any gained in war. At one time in
their lives the great ambition of many of
those gentleman was to destroy the fed
eral government. With that administra-
tive machinery smashed up or badly
crippled the States would necessarily be
left to themselves. All the possibilities
of coercion would be ended. Hence the
process by which the South was to be
freed from the bond of union with the
North was to be the destruction of the
government which gave effect to the OBJ
legations of that bond. Some Southern
men had other ideas of the real point in
the war, but that was a prevalent and
popular one. For five years the South
tried to carry out that programme, and
the bitter and bloody struggle ended in
failure and ruin. But to-day in the Uni
ted States Congress the South has almost
within reach the attainment of that very
in war. By the use of the power acquir-
ed in a constitutional way the South can
successfully deny to the administration
the means to carry on the government,
and without money to carry on the ma
chinery the machinery will perish, and
there will cease to be a national govern
ment. Nominally it is the democracy
that does this but the democracy is once
more as it was anciently-the South plus
the Northern allies of the South.

A young man in church at Brighton,
England, was very disorderly. The serv-
ice was ultra-ritualistic, and he persisted
in interrupting it with remarks, applause,
etc. The indignant vestrymen had him
arrested and brought before magistrate
to answer for disturbing the worship, and
q very remarkable defence was the re-
suit. The young man admitted that he
was intoxicated at the time, but explain
ed his behavior on the ground that he
firmly believed himself to be witnessing
the performance of band Of japanese
jugglers then in the town! By mistake
he had got into the wrong place, and in
his fuddled state was unable to tell the
difference. He was let off with light
punishment the magistrate evidently
believing that the difference between
ritualstic mummeries and japanese jug
glery was not so patent that the young
man was greatly to blame for not seeing it..

There are two ways OF lighting q

prefer the latter method in their
battle against Kearney. To read
their accounts of the Coll Deane

good dose OF tar and feathers for
his unwarranted interference with

his case came up for trial, jury of

all the testimony, found him not
guilty in about ten minutes.

The boy who spends an hour OF
each evening lounging idly on the
street corners, wastes iu tho course
Of u year three hundred aud sixty-iive
precious hours, which, if applied to
study, would hmiliarize him with
the rudiinents of almost any Of the
familiar sciences. II, in addition to
thus wasting only one hour each ev-
ening, he spends ten cents for n
cigar, which is usually the case, tue
amount thus worse than wasted
would pay for ten of the leading
periodicals of the country. Boys,
think OF these things. Think of how
much tiTe aud money you are vast
ing. and for what ! The qualification
afforded by the lounge on the cor
ner or the cigar is not only tempor-
AIRY but positively hurtful. You can,
not indulge in them without seriously
iniuriug yourself. You acquire idle
and wasteful habits which will cling
to you with each succeeding year.
You may in after-life shake then eff,
but the probabilities are that the
habits thus formed in early life will
remain with you to your dying day.
Be warned then in time, and resolve
that as the hour spent in idleness is
gone forever you will improve each
passing one, and thereby fit yourself
for usefulness aud happiuess.-Rur.

 FLORENCE, ARIZONA, Dec. 18th, 1879.

 EDITOR STOCK REPORT, San Francisco, Cal.-On my return from Globe District l was enabled to visit the celebrated Silver King mine, located in this county, and about thIrty-fiye miles north of Florence. had heard much of it's great wealth. My examination satisfied me that instead of the report being exaggerated, the contrary Is the fact. In the management Of the prop erty much credit IS due for the manner in which it has been opened up during the past year. They have, without any expense to the stOckht lders, sunk a fine timbered shaft three hundred and fifty feet deep, cutting the vein proper at three hundred fec. At a depth of two hundred and fifty feet a cut was made through eighteen feet of granite to the hanging wall where the vein Was tap ped and crossed for seventy-eight feet, all solid ole, much of it assaying in the thous- ands, half of it higirin the hundreds, and the rest of it will work to profit. The same rich ore was exposed where the shalt passes into the vein, and no change was visible all the way to the bottom. The value of this mass of reserves cannot well be prop erlY estimated, but it assures to those inter- este1 the possession. beyond doubt, of great wealth, that will outlast this genera ton. The tep-stamp miIl of the company has run without inlermission the entire year on pay ore taken from the old workings on the foot-wall Si1e. No dlYidends nave been declared since last October. but the property has been apd is being opened, and the show of ore now made more thau compensates for the delay. Surveys and plans are now be- ing made for a firss-c.ass thirty stamp mill at the mine, with reduction works complete to turn out the bullion there. Until this new mill is ready and in running order the present ten-stamp mill at Picket Post will be kept running as at present, when the con centration process will. be changed to that of amalgamating, and the twenty-five thous and tons oi tailings will be converted into bullion. Everything at the mine and mill indicates a thoroughly defined poliey3 of economy and practical material result. No company on this Coast can show better record in this respect. Any doubts that pre- vailed heretofore regarding the Silver King being q true Assure vein of great magnitude are now ended, as both walls are fully ex- posed. They are of syenitic granite and the vein matter is quartz and porphyry. Much of the ore is most beautiful ruby and native silver. This property has a fair reputation but not near what the showing made entities it to. Its owners may well be proud of it's possession. and at some not distant day Arizona and the Pacific Coast will render to it the position in the mining world to which it is so Justly entitled.

The confirmation of Secretary McCrary as Circuit Judge in succession to Judge Dillon, who resigns to accept a professor ship in the Columbia College Law School, adds ripe lawyer to the bench of the United States Courts. As member of Congress the ex Secretary had the repi- tation of being an cmineutly fair man. He could be trusted, while sustaining the views of his own party, not to treat those of his opponents dishonestly. With his habits, tastes and learning. the new Judge will be more at home on the bench than in either House of Congress or as the head of one of the Executive departments. His mind is emineutly judicisI. And it is safe to predict that he will be n worthy sue cesser to the great jurist that preceded him on the bench.-Graphie.

This retrospective view of the past shows
with what fidelity the Republican party has
kept its pledges in the settlement Of some of
the greatest questions ever submitted to the
American people, That it has made some
mistakes we are willing to admit. But, taken
as a whole, IL has record Of which any party
might well feel proud. Aud its days Of use
fulness are not ended There is work for it
to do yet. 1t must complete the restoration of
the Union. Until every man, white or black,
rich or poor is free to express his political sem
timents without restraint and in absolute
safety in every State in the Union, there is
still work for the Republican party to do.
There is work for the Republican party as long
as men are found who advocate repudation, or
insist that promise to pay n dollar is dollar.
Until honesty prevails in public life; until
free education is afforded to every child in the
| land until all political bitterness and strife

| Cqual as GoD created them and intended they
should be, there is work for the Republican


party, and it will continue to exist. And as
! long as men are controlled by reason, and not


by blind prejudice, so long will the people of


tilis country trust the party that has so sa-
credly kept its pledges.
