HON. JOHN J. GoSPER, Secretary of Ari- zona, returned to Florence on Monday from a visit to the San Carlos Indian Agen- cy. Our Secretary had never before been to san Carlos and so was disappointed, Of course. He expected to find horde Of turbulent savages, controlled only with the greatest difficulty and among whom an outbreak was always imminent. But his stay of two days changed his opinion of Apaches. He found them all content ed and orderly, and says Ire can see no sign Of trouble and no cause for apprehen- sion. He believes the Indian Police sys- tenn inaugurated there in 1874 is the only efficient mode of reservation discipline. We are glad to have our prominent oth- cials acquaint themselves with the true condition Of Indian affairs in the Territory. In California papers of last week, we mo- tice a telegraphic report announcing that an outbreak is feared from the renegades south Of Mount Turnbull. We have heard no such report in Florence and we are sure the report was sent for political or selfish purposes. Such reports do our Ter ritory great injury and injustice, and all who are interested in the progress Of our country should use every endeavor to cor rect and prevent such reports. Secretary Gosper is among the men anxious to pre- sent the facts as they exist, and he author izes us to say that in his opinion major ity of the Indians at san Carlos are so in- ured to reservation life and discipline that it would require very bad agent with considerable force to drive them away from their present homes.

but there was heavy tone underlying
the business throughout the day, and at
the close the feeling was rather fat. The
range of prices for Western corn was 70

cents for May, closing at about "a and
70! cents. The lowest figures were made
between the morning and afternoon
Change and the highest before the open

the largest buyers at the afternoon board
were among those not heretofore active

late speculative movements. The ten

Chicago were in concert with our own,

IT IS now said that it can be clearly
shown that the Republican politicians
paid large sum of money to the Louisi-
ana Returning Board rascals for casting
the vote of that State for Hayes, and that
the whole business of the purchase and
sale of the Presidency will be made
known by Packard and those interested
in his being sustained by the troops. This
with the secrets connected with the Loui-
siana Returning Board, and the purpose
ard acts of the Committee sent to New
Orleans by Grant, with Sherman at its
head, will be made public. This will be
done in the Senate at the next session,we
are told, as sure as the sun shines, if it is
not done before.


In this way the dirty politicians who
made fraudulent President and helped
to install him in office, now hope to re-
venge themselves when they find that
Hayes will have nothing to do with them
personally, nor pay them for their rascali-
ty with appointments. They are fools
as well as scoundrels. Hayes may laugh
at their vengeance. He got his office
from those in higher positions. The jul
dicial members of the Electoral Commits
sion gave Hayes his Office. They knew
he was not elected. Hayes should kick
the whole crowd out of his presence
He did accept oftheir dirty work, but that
is not a sufficient reason for introducing
the scoundrels to the Eonest people who
may call at the White House.

PROPOSED REDUCTION IN TIE ARMY.
"A Washington dispatch states that a
bill is in course of preparation and will be
introduced in the House at the extra sess
sion reducing the army to 10000 men,
and thereby effecting a saving to the
government of many millions. Now that
the Indian wars are at an end-and it is
the opinion of Gen. Sherman and Gen
Sheridan in conference there on the sub
ject that we will have no more of them
and the troops are to be used NO longer
for police duty in the Southern States,
there is no need of standing army of
the present size it is claimed by those
who favor more retrenchment.

FIsHY WATER.-.The Brandywine

Water Department will have it done

The same complaint is made of the
smell and taste of the water in Baltimore
and other cities. No doubt the Tenth

inches of mud on the bottom. They also
contain thousands of fish which have
been pumped up from the Brandywine

Together We walked in the evening time
Above the sky spread golden and clear.
And he bent his head and looked in my ewes,
As If he held me of all most dear.


o, it was sweet in the evening time
And our pathway went through fields of wheat
Narrow the path and rough the way.
But he was near and the birds sang true.
And the stars came out in the twilight gray.


o. it was sweet in the evening time
Softly he spoke of the days long past,
Softly Of blessed DAYS to be;
Close to his arm and closer pressd
The corn field path was Eden to me.


o, it was sweet in the evening time
Grsyer the light and grayer still,
The rocks fitted home through the purple


shade


The nightingales sang where the thorns stood


high,


As walked with him in the woodland glade.

And the latest CLEANS of daylight died,

We swept the dew from the wheat as We passed,
For narrower, narrower wound the way.

attractions for the offspring yet unborn
as it once had for our children. Yet Il
little while and all this will have hap

funeral will wend its way, and the

will be forgotten. Days will continue
to move on, and laughter and song will
be heard in the room where We died;
and the eve that mourned fOr US will be
dry and animated with joy, and even
our children will cease 10 think OF US,

In the theatre the audience prepare
To laugh as soon as his voice is heard
behind the scenes, before he makes his
entrance; nobody gets so hearty well
come, nobody is listened TO with more
delight, nobody gets a more humping
benefit. Behind the scenes he is
scarcely SO well liked he gets too much
the lions share of the popular favor TO
be quite loved by the actors; to say the
truth, he is a little inclined to ride over
peoples feelings roughshod, and is not
too particular about making joke at
his companions expense, both on the
stage and off. To the leading man the
low comedian is specially objectiona-
BILE. and the tragedian regards him
with ill-concealed dislike and secret
bitterness: for the solemn air and ma
jestic pretentions of the high artist offer
innumerable openings TO the shafts of
wit of the professional joker, and of
these he freely avails himself. No man
likes to be laughed at, certainly the
great man does not; and so it comes to
pass that the two players are seldom to
be seen together, and when they are
obliged to meet at rehearsals con-
slant sparring goes on between them,
especially in the arrangement of any
scene where both are present, since the
comic man has no scruple in being as
funny as he can, and "gagging" most
numerically, even while the hero of
tragedy is on the stage. Still we should
all miss him if he left us, for he is very
amusing; for theatrical work is duller
than most people imagine TiRsley's

Ny ideal woman is frank, intelligent
generous, energetic, gentle and tender
10 the hearts core, and has dash of
romance about her. The romantic are
ever buOyant, for sO-called romantic
feelings are only an evidence of the
spirits fresh life. They do not really
sink into the dry-rot of an innate exis-
tence they do not swell the list of the
nervouS-minded. and the sOriid and
the mean, and the intriguing and the
self-righteous. OF them are not made
the slaternly or shrewish wives, the in
capable or Indifferent mothers. the
treacherous friends, of whose existence
we may hear any day on all sides.


They take no ungenerous advantage
of simplicity or rimidity, they stand
aloof from detraction-they would not
willingly Sully the pure. bright cur
rent of their own thoughts. They may
startle many around them by All honest
outburst of indignation. but they will
not harhor malice, or seek To perpetu-
ate the evil they have denounced. Above
all, the romantic are strong in religious
faith; for the ideas of perfection, and
beneficence and beauty and goodness
and truth, are most powerfully devel-
oped in them. Let no skeptic come
near him with his cold philosophy and
useless creed. that cOnsigns ''dust to
dust" even while the living flesh
might alone and well confute him by
the power of its uncOnquerable in
Stincts. Those who have once tasted
of the water of life AT the fountain-head
are not TO be dismayed by the reports of
its after-failing course amid the miry
and darkened ways of an imperfect and
faithless world.


OF this class were the women who,
in all ages and countries, have greatly
signalized themselves in true wOmanly
ways, bearing witness before, time
past and to come, that true nobility of
soul, steadfastness of purpose, heroic
courage and high faith, are naturally
allied TO the earnest truth and the deep
rooted affection of which they spring
spontaneously, amid circumstances re-
quiring the grandest developments of
Individual power.

the two occupants of the room. refused
to allow any one to live in it, and
caused it to be transformed into box
and lumber receptacle. A few months
afterward the waiter, accused of hav-
ing purloined some articles of wearing
apparel from a lodger, stole away TO the
lumber-roOm, where he was found
hanged, and the owner of the house, in
despair, sold his lease and left a place
where the demon of suicide seemed to
rule supreme. The hotel was sold
again and again, but none could keep
it. A strong-minded druggist took the
premises and carried on his business,
despising tradition and laughing at the
old gossips, whose stories had enabled
him to make such bargain. Domestic
misfortunes shook the cynicism of the
unbeliever, who, finding his wife had
deceived him, retired To the room which
had become the chamber of death, and
there poisoned himself with his own
drugs. The whole quarter was up in
arms, public opinion demanded that
the fatal room should be walled up, but
the new owner laughed at the fears Of
his neighbors, and declared that he
meant to occupy the chamber in ques-
ton. At last notice was given that the
place was about to be pulled down to
make room for the Boulevard Saint
German. An indemnity of tl0,0OO
was demanded, but refused, and the
jury having decided that f3, 500 was
ample compensation the owner grew
despondent and declared he was a
ruined man. He was compelled to ac-
cept the money and was elected in due
course, but few days ago he asked
permission to visit the old premises be-
fore they were pulled down. His re-
quest was granted, ana nothing more
was heard of him until the demOIisseurs
went into the place, where they found
him hanging by the neck in the fatal
room.

The essence Of the HindOO religion is
propitiatiOn. The native mind has q
practical turn, and wishes to attain a
definite purpose in its sacred rites. 1t
is willing TO 90 through any amount Of
trouble in its observances, if some clear
gain is To be got by the process. The
clearest gain that the native mind can
picture 10 itself is the averting of evil.
And its fertile fancy has been set to
work to imagine all the sources of evil
possible. Every conceivable calamity
is attributable to some evil agency,
either god, or devil, or a deceased
man. There are good agents on the
other side, and they may be propitiated
to fight against the bad agents. In a
dim way they recognize a Supreme
Being; but they argue that he is too
good to hurt any one, and so he may be
left out of the account. With this ex-
ception, everything that produces the
notion of power is worth Precipitation
consisting in depositing little offerings
of food or OF anything that the agent, if
alive and in human shape, might be
conceived to like. Thus, Oh the tomb
of one English official, who had terri
fled them during his life, the natives
deposited little offerings of brandy and
cigars, hoping that he will still like
these luxuries as much as he used 10 do,
and that as long as his spirit could
smoke and drink it would not occupy
itself in annoying them. Again, offer
ings were deposited Oh the tomb of
another Englishman who had in life
been famed for shooting tigers, in the
hope that his turn for worrying tigers
still survived, and might be somehow
put to good account.-London Spectator.

This is the Leuchtenberg palace. name
suggestive of dark page in the history
of the imperial family of Russsa. Some
there are who remember the romantic
story of the marriage of the Gar NichO-
lass favorire daughter to a dashing
young German officer. The Duke of
Leuchtenberg was good-looking, but
comparatively poor and obscure, and it
is said that the wayward princess made
the first advance, and even that the
stern emperor consented to the marriage
only to avoid scandal. At any rate.
romance and royalty did not seem to
agree well, and the union did not turn
out well. The duchess, tired of her
former idol, gay and dashing, but at
the same time scholarly and thoroughly
honorable German, and began to form
Hdisons, the most notorious of which
was with a Count StrogOnOff. After a
life of mortified seclusion and constant
study the duke died, refusing to recog-
nize on his death-bed the last two child
rem born to the princess. Immediately
after his demise the latter was forced
to marry Strogonoff, and was banished
from Russia. She took up her abode in
Paris where she died few years ago.
The children of this union have been
somewhat under a cloud, and several
matches proposed for the very accom-
plished daughter were broken of for
some unexplainable reasons. The old
est son-the young Duke Of Leuchten-
berg-has now Joined the army of the
Danube, and may accomplish something
in the field that will place a renewed
lustre around his wronged fathers

ated him and his sister from the re-

pearance of a single elector. There
has never been a crowd outside, and
no indication of what was going
on within. Indeed, stranger
might pass dozen election places
without having any idea that the
destinies of France were being per-
haps decided more or less behind
the portal, about which a policeman
was lounging. The mode of proce-
dure is in every case the same. Just
within the doors number of touts
offer you voting paper, that is to
say, the name of candidate print
ed on a slip. This kind attention
is for the benefit of those who are
too lazy to write the name them
selves. The elector then, if he has
not already done SO, provides him
self at the proper bureau with a
printed authority to vote. Every
Frenchman is inscribed, or can get
himself inscribed, on the book of
the arrondissement in which he
lives, and the autorisation is de-
livered on application to every adult
male provided with this paper. The
elector walks into the voting room,
at one end of which is a table,
whereat sit the president du bureau
and his five or six assitants. The
elector raises his hat and hands his
paper to the president, who rises to
receive it, and calls out the name,
which is verified and marked on
one Of the lists laying on the table.
The elector then hands his folded
up slip Of paper containing the
name of the candidate; the presi.
dent drops it into the box before
him; the voter bows and retires and
the business is over. Nothing could
possibly be more simple than the
method employed, or more quiet
than the means by which it il
carried out. The voting at Belle.
