In a number of the Boersen Courier.
of Berlin, an incident is related of Prince
Bismarck's domestic life, which is m


commonly interesting. Most people who
read the newspapers have heard Of the
great ehancellor's daughter. The Young
lady, though not beautiful, is aniabIs
and accomplished, and accustomed to
the homage of the high society in which
she moves. With her father she has
been great favorite ever since she grew
up. When in Berlin, he has been wont
TO spend with her whatever leisure mo-
ments he could snatch from his labori-
GUS occupations, and in the country his
idle hours have been usually passed in
her society. The prince observed With
concern that his daughter repelled ali
proposals. Of marriage made TO her.
Though wooed by the most eligible
sRitors. among the heirs Of the richest
families, members Of the most ancient
nobility, gentlemen filing tie highest
official positions, even q prince - the
young lady declined them all. After
brooding long time over the possible
reasons of his daughters conduct, the
chancellor, believing at last that he had
fathomed the secret of her severity,
opened his heart to her on the subject.
he teld her that he felt sure that she





must have become profoundly attached
to some person inferior to herself in
position and wealth. He then begged
her to mention the name of the man to
whom she had given her heart, as he,
her father, was rich enough to change
the conditions which might seem TO
render her lover an ineligible match
With flowing tears the lady confessed
that she did cherish such an affection as
her father suspected, an affection that
was returned, but that her lover was a
simple lieutenant In the army. The
next day the lieutenant appeared in the
presence of the father. The chancellor
hardly gave him time to speak before
saying, " I know why it seems to You
impossible to become my son-in-lAW
Notwithstanding the difference of social
position your wish shalf be accomplished
Though do not know you, the love of
my daughter is to me sufficient guRran-
tee of your worth" But instead of the
joyful thanks which the prince naturally
expected, he received a reply of the fol-
lowing tenor: [" I thank you for your
goodness, but this union is impossible
L belong to an old Catholic family.
cannot take home as my wife the daugh-
ter of him whom my family regard as an
enemy of the church, whom I myself
am almost compelled to look upon as
such" The officer then sadly took his
departure, leaving the chancellor utter
ly confounded, Who had little antici-
pated such a rejection of his eondescen-
sion. Having summoned his daughter,
the chancellor told her that the officer
wholly refused her hand and that she
must forget him. The daughter, be-
coming paler than ever, replied: "He
is too honorable to deny his religious
faith 1 will not ask him such sacri-
fee, and if he desires it LESS believ-
ing than he-will adopt his religion, to
render our marriage possible" The
father saw his child become more incon-
solable from day to day, and at length
he was thrown into q state Of fearful
excitement, which was not without con-
sequence. So things stand st present.

At first it surprises one that love

one kind OF love that is chiefly depicted
in works of fiction But the love itself
is the most remarkable thing IN human

The railroad and stock-speculating
operators have for long time had the
farming or producing interest by the
throat. How do you suppose they must
feel when the tables are turned and
they wake up to find out the farming
interest is SO resolutely prepa8 ing to
take them by the nose.


The railroads have been able to regu-
late the price of the produce raised by
the farmers. What must be their state
of mind when they find out that the
farmers are getting ready to regulate
the receipts of the railroads.

THE STAKE.


Wall street has not only thousands of
millions at stake IN the struggle, but its
abiding intrinsic power and its power
of humbug are also at stake.


If the Wisconsin law makers, or
rather the western grangers, win the
day, we shall perhaps breed fewer pau
pers and millionaires during the rest of
the century than we have done within
the last few years. If Wall street
wins, we shall doubtless go on breed
ing millionaires and paupers quicker
than ever.

Next is the Copper Crown mine ascending the hill and showing yet more distinctly on the surface, until reaching the Crown Reef on the summit of the next hill, and extending the entire length of Crown Reef and Matilda, which latter tel inmates on the valley beyond. Along this distance croppings vary in width from five to one hundred feet; at some parts merely showing on the surface, while at others the vein crops to height of five to ten feet, and in some places forms small mountains of ore carrying copper to the extent 25 to 60 per cent. On the four last mentioned mines there is no development except a small shaft on the Coronado on what IS now thought to be a spur, but will prove a portion of main vein separated at the surface but the lOcators have commenced active oper- ations which will be pushed vigorously until the richness and extent of all the mines are fully demonstrated, and with the means and energy of the owners, we doubt not that at no very distant day this ledge will be daily yielding it's tons of copper.

THE editor of, The Albuquerque Review is hardworking man and anxious to present all the valuable facts of his sec tion to his readers For this purpose, he lately addressed notes to many people for information and hopes they will meet with Q proper response. People often complain of certain items not appearing in the local paper, when in the very nat ure of things the editor could not know of them without being informed, and per haps the compliments are the only ones possessed of the facts which would have enabled any one to have written them up correctly. There is not newspaper man worthy the name, who does not always consider it favor to be informed of any item worth publishing. The Review makes this very sensible observation, es- pecially referring as it does to country papers:

 It is nonsense to expect publishers of newspapers to wander arc dnd like census takers from one house to another asking for information ot equal importance to. the giyer as the receiver, which can read fly be furnished them through the mails with little cost of trouble and expense.

THE Missionary Bishop of Nevada and Arizona, Bishop Whitaker, in his annual report to the Episcopal Board of Missions, alludes in very mplimentary terms to General Crook and his work in Arizona, which he evidently thinks partakes sOme- what of the missionary character. Bishop Whitaker found a great improvement in the condition of things in Arizona, and this he says, "has been brought about mainly by the wise and humane manage ment of Indian affairs by General Crook. had the pleasure of meeting him at his headquarters, and of becoming acquainted with him, and became satisfied that the high opinion which the people Of Arizona generally entertained of him is well founded. His policy am convinced is the true one. He is prompt and severe against those who break their treaties, or begin war. but he is generous and kind toward those who wish for peace, and will keep taeir word. The Indian has no better f.iend than General Crook, and the Apa- ches are fast coming to understand him, and to trust him. If any man can bring them into peaceable relation with the white population. I am sure it will be done by him."-[Army and Navy Journal.

The casual observer would not detect in
this city any strong indications Of imme.
diste strife, but residents Of this place. OF
both parties, know too we'll that the strong
arm of the government alone keeps down q
fight. The members Of the White League
are continually armed and ready for
foray; the Republicans are self reliant,
though they deprecste the gage OF battle,
and eschew the use Of arms. A spirit Of
discomfort pervades all classes, and it is
with no sense Of weakness that it is asserted
that this state Of things ought not to con.
tinue.


The opposition have had no cause for
complaint concerning registration. but .
wa.like sentiment pervades their manly
boso,ns, and they would like to arrive at
victory BY the quick issue Of q coup de main

It was, perhaps, queer combination OF
thoughts on these facts, with q desire to
maintain his credit in the community that
induced one of the panel to act as he did.
He was one Of the irregularly first drawn OF
October. Although Q long resident he was
not citizen, for he was q native OF for

lied. He could then have easily escaped
serving by making the proper declaration.
But he didn't dare to. He had proclaimed
himself citizen by an act of rebellion. he
had signed the call Of the White League Of
the fourteenth of September, and joined IN
the subsequent proceedings. Could he
confess himself An armed alien or should he
be silentf


Two days did he deliberate. and each

has again come forth, and he will probably
inaugurste his citizenship by performing

Yes, vice is eminently uncomforta-
BILE. Look at the red-nosed drunk
ard, at the gambler with blue rings
about his eyes, at the woman with
paint on her cheeks and demon in
her eye. There is never any air Of
repose about these poor people,
though they are jolly sometimes.
The heas of retribu,ion are always
biting them and the shadows of their
lives fall upon the innocent and make
them uncomfortable, too, in many
ways.


Perhaps the hardest of all is the
necessity which the purest men and
women feel Of avoiding suspicion Of
crimes of which they are incapable,
and the fact that any one rs innocent
and careless Of appearances as .
young child, would soon gain the
reputation of being one Of the most

: You ask in regard 10 con-
dition of crops. / will give you :
correct statement:


Our spring was very promising
and crops Of all kinds up to June lst
looked well. About that time the
chinch bugs made their appearance,
completely destroying an spring
wheat and seriously damaging the
fall grain, spreading them into the
oats and corn. About July lst the
drought commenced. The heat was
intense, running for days and days 1t
100 to 10 degrees and accompanied
by strong scorching winds from the
southwest which dried and blasted
the tassel of the corn as soon Is it
made its appearance. Following
this, August 7th, the grasshoppers
made their appearance, coming in
countless millions. In twenty four
hours after their arrival nothing was
left of the corn but the naked stalk
and in many instances the stalk itself
was eaten, at least one half its length.
After finishing the corn they attacked
the fruit and forest trees. had
about three hundred peach and
cherry trees that were very fine, the
admiration of myself and neighbors.
In short time they were as naked
as in mid winter. A few of them
had fruit on which was eaten, leaving
the pit on the tree. | also had out
about $500 forest trees and one mile
of hedge, very fine. The trees were
stripped Of their foliage and the bark
Of much of the hedge stripped of Is
if done by rabbits. | also had
piece Of white beans looking well;
they, together with late potatoes and
all garden vegetables were eaten to
the ground. After remaining with
us nearly a week they departed to-
ward the southwest. The trees that
were not girdled commenced to put
forth new leaves and looked quite
green when new army Of the in
sects made their appearance and
again stripped the leaves from the
trees. utterly destroying the growth
Of this year. They have again de-
parted.


Without the grasshoppers our corn
would have been light, owing to
chinch bugs and drought, having had
but one shower of any consequence
in three months. As it is, there is
nothing left. BY request of County
Commissioners | have made an ex-
animation of the condition Of this
township. The corn will not average
one bushel per acre.


After liboring hard all the season
! find myself with nothing to show
in return except few bushels Of oats
aud few early potatoes, and this re-
port will apply to all sections Of this
and adjoining counties. -.

probably De something more to report
Irrhe Superior District Court the ipiunc-
tion on the appropriation bill came up on a
motion to confirm the default. Every item
had it's representative intervenor, and the
tail form of the Attorney General was sur
rounded by swarm of attorneys eager to
show the Justice of the claims Of their
clients.


Colonel Field first fled what might be
called an omnibus answer, for it took in all
the petitions of intervention and denied
every allegation contained in them. Most
OF the counsel then desired to have some
thing to say about the manner they were to
''get in The court was enlightened as to
the views of counsel on the proper mode Of
proceeding, and as many ways were sug-
gested as there were counsel. More ways,
IL fact, for one counsel had three.


The court listened, and then ruled that
the case should be tried IN an entirely diff
tecent manner from any mode offered. The
interventions merely made a change of par
ties. The case was on a confirmation of de-
fault. The proper way was for the Attorney
General to prove bis case. The first thing
to be learned was how much the revenue
would be for 1874, next, did the appropria-
ton exceed it, and how much. All excess
would be void, and the question then would
be what was unlawful and what not.


Attorney General Field then explained
distinctly what position he maintained and
divided the items into classes as they we're
arranged in the bill. He believed all the
items he had included in the petition of the
State were void. He fled the report of the
Auditor for 1873.


Auditor Clinton was sworn, and said the
amount of appropriations under section one
was 81 ,l36, 900; the revenue would probably
be about 81 ,050,000 there was generally
falling off of about twelve per cent; he
could not estimate the amount under Sec
ton two, as many of the items were indefi-
mite; in addition 100000 absorbed by the
Legislature must be estimated.


The case was here continued to Thursday
to accommodate counsel.
