A medical writer says: Nothing helps doctor like mysteries. A man has a pain in the head and back. He calls on the doctor. He explains his symp- toms. Now, suppose the doctor says, "Yes, l see. Pain in the head and back-tired. You, sir, must rest go to bed early for Q few evenings you must let up-rest! You are exhausted, that's all." Now, that won't satisfy you ; thero is no science about that. You know all that yourself. You went to the doctor to learn something about your case, and if all Ee can tell you is, that you are tired and have got the backache, what's the use of the accumu- lated medical wisdom of three thousand years Any child could tell you that you are tired and have the backache.

 But suppose the doctor carefully ex- amines the back of your head, and your spine, and asks dozen questions about the precise location of the pain, what time in the day it appears, etc., all sorts of nice, ingenious questions, and then, after some moments of profound thought, he tells you that he is sorry to say that this is rare case. It is clearly one of those remarkable cases of periodical polarization of the cerebro- spinal axis the case is exactly like one reported by distinguished German physiologist. The sufferer was we'll known military man. The doctor then proceeds to write @ prescription in Latin. There are half dozen in gradients, and he informs you that the prescription is an exact duplicate of that which was used for the German general, with the exception of single ingredient, which he adds because of the difference in climate. Now, don't you know that you rather think that this doctor knows what's what? And although you confound his big names and Latin nonsense," still it looks as though the accumulated wisdom of the three thousand years was something after all. At any rate this cerebro- spinal axis doctor is miles ahead of the backache chap.

A traveller describes the weather sta tion on Pike's Peak as building of stone, walls two feet thick, thirty feet by fifteen, and nine in height. Three men are spending the winter there, taking observations. They are used to the lightness of the air, and do not ex- perience any serious inconvenience. Water boils at so low temperature that it takes about three times us long to cook food as the ordinary level. The air is so clear that the eye can sweep dls- tance of two hundred miles in every direction.

Note to tue Editor of the Courier Journal: Some people, you know, have way of reading one chapter of a story, and if it does not please them or come up to their standard as to what a chapter should to be good, will condemn the whole, and throw the book or paper aside with the remark that "that is enough of that" I have endeavored to bar this practice as applicable to my serial, and I think have succeeded. I would have such people to understand that, in order to get the sense and beau- ty out of the following tale they must take it all in.

No thought of purity, or virtue,
or truth that God gives US to set afoat
in this world can ever perish. And
so of the words we speak. We may
never think OF them again, but this
universe is vast atmosphere of waves,
and they run on and on, and never stop
to knock at the door, the ear leaving
the human heart to take it in and on
again and OF, and there be a thought
worthy to be reiterated, another voice
takes it and sends It on. And 1t Is
thus that what is vile drops as into the
ocean to be buried out of sight, AMI
yet not lost, for the vile has made
stain that, save by the blood of Christ
can never be washed away, but the
pure and true lives on until It's consu-
mmation finds is home with the purl-
fed in heaven.

l am often tempted to wish that
there was not another religious book
except the Bible, and then there
would, I believe, be far less difference
Of opinion, and more simplicity of
opinion. Were CHRIST the model of
life, and his preccpts the standard Of
opinion, many who are by the errors
and i'll judgment Of even his faithful
followers led astray, would be filled
more with that spirit of love and
peace which marks his character.

Notwithstanding the frequent pubhca' ton in nearly every newspaper in the mining sections of all United States min ing laws and regulations under them, there is still much confusion on the sub- Ject. We hear there are 8 lot of miners prospecting in Aravaipa canyon, and that they are in doubt as to how to proceed in making locations and records thereof. The United States laws and regulations together are very explicit and not difficult to understand. The miners can meet and pass any Otherlaws and regulations not in conflict with those of the United States. They can fixthe boundaries of the district, choose a local yecorder, limit the width of claims, but not to less than twenty-five feet nor more than three hundred on each side of the vein, and many other acts of importance to holders of mining property. They may do much to prevent men from holding ground year after year without doing work of any account When not in conflict with thelaws and regulations en- acted and made by the general govern Inent, all local laws and rules of miners are enforced by the United States. Each mining district may easily procure a copy of the United States laws and regulations and by having them on file with the local recorder or other designated officer they may be readily consulted by any locator, or by the miners generally, and all hands be governed accordingly.

There is no other branch Of government service which so constantly concerns the people generally and in all parts of the nation, as the postal, hence the following is of interest to our readers:

 WASHINGTON, November ll-Post- master-General Jewell is engaged in the preparation of his annual report. It had been stated that he is opposed to the proposed Postal Telegraph system. This assertion is premature, as he has not determined what position he will take on the subject. He says the system has sue ceeded i'll other countries, but there are circumstances which make the acquisition of established private lines a matter Of doubtful wisdom, and the construction of new ones would be unadvisablc As to the subject of Postal Savings Bank, he does not favor such an aggressive move ment on the banking and financial instl- tutions of the people. The Postmaster General Is evidently amazed at the eX- penditurc of S32 900, 900 against receipts of S23, 000,000 this year. He will recOm- mend either retrcnchmcnt in the eX- penses or an increase in postage. He thinks there are eXtravaganceS which he will endeavor to suggest comedies for. He does not advocate higher rates of postage, but he Goes think that if it be necessary to make up large discrepancies at present existing, such an increase in rates would be preferable, as the cost of transportation is cosntantlY increasing.

DR. B. SEMIG, quite generally known in Arizona and especially in Tucson, as an acting assistant surgeon in the army, has recently passed successful medical examination and been promoted to be an Assistant surgeon, with a view to his being placed on the retired List. He is quite a young man, but lost leg in the discharge of his duties as a surgeon in the Modoc war. We have noticed for over year a movement to secure his promotion and retirement. We have sno doubt but the Doctor would prefer his limb restored than to be a.retired assistant surgeon, but the latter will be a substantial comfort to him all his life.

THERE is some talk of amending the act of Congress relating to growing timber , upon treeless plains. The object is to in. duce men of means at distance from the lands toplant- and cultivate trees on them. Almost any measure that would effect the , object, would be justitable, and some budding statesman ambitious to win cer- tain fame, can do it by perfecting and securing the passage of bill that will induce people to grow timber upon the vast and treeless plains Of the country.

WE are informed that some of the custom house officials or employees at Guaymas. managed to extract some goods from packages of freight passing through there for E. D. Wood in Tucson. A stamped official envelope of the custom 2 house was found in package from which articles had been taken, which is regarded as pretty good proof of where the pilfer- ing was done.

Promptness in forward ing these assigned documents will save the claimants much annoyance and vexa- tious delay, for if a patent has been made out in the name of the original owner and sent to the local office for delivery, it will not be recalled or cancelled on account of an assignment receipt or certificate.

IT is now decisively demonstrated in
physiological science that colds are the
effect of arrangements of the stomach
and the blood. "When," says a writer
ON the subject, the human body is at
it's prime, with youth, vigor, purity, and a
good constitution on its side, no degree
of ordinary exposure to cold gives rise to
any unpleasant effects. All the ordinary
precautions against colds, coughs, and
rheumatic pains may be disregarded, and
no i'll effects ensue. But let the blood
become impure, let the body become de
ranged from any acquired disorder, OF let
the vigor begin to wane, and the infirml-
ties of the age be felt by occasional de
rangements in some vital part, either from
inherited or acquired abuses, and the
action of cold will excite more or less
disorder of some kind, and the form of
this disorder, or the disease which will
ensue, will be determined by the kind OF
pre-existing blood impurity or the pre-
existing fault of the organic processes

EMIGRATION RRTURNs.-During the
brst nine months of the present year there
was a great falling of in the number Of
emigrant arrivals in New York. The
number arriving at that port during the
first nine months OF 1873 was 227s9l,
while during the corresponding period OF
this year only 124.6SO emigrants arrived.
A part OF this reduction may prove per-
msnent, for the continual drain made
upon the labor markets Of Europe must
result some day in bettering the condition
oil those who remain, and thereby check
the desire to emigrate. But tie greater
part Of the reduction was more likely due
10 the panic Of last fall and the conse-
quent depression Of business. 1t seems
probable, too, that there has been re-
turning tide Of foreigners since the panic,
but there have been no oillcial figures on
this subject published.

We presume the closing session Of the
present City Council will form no excep.
ton TO that Of similar bodies. II will be
very full Of business. Some important
matters have occupied the attention Of
the Council Of late, and have been put
into the hands Of committees for report.
Among these VIC may note the projected
bridge across the creek to the Peninsula.
The committee have under consideration
a proposal from the Elm Grove Railroad
Company, embracing plan Of construct
ing bridge jointly with the city. The
Railway Company have estimates for
such q bridge as would suit their pur-
poses, but, In order to secure bridge for
general travel, they have offered to contri.
butte the sum necessary to build company
bridge 10 8 joint fund, which will thus
furnish means to build bridge suitable
for the purposes Of a general highway.
We suppose a report will be received
from the committee on Tuesday evening,
and while we would not dictate, we
would respectfully suggest that the Coun.
Gil take some action in the matter.
There Is absolute and pressing need
for better facilities for reaching the PENN.
sular Cemetery, and the general belief is
that the building oil bridge at or near
the locality now under consideration for
general travel Is merely a question ot
time and not long time either. 1tseems
to be understood among the people gener-
ally that long ago they were promised a
good road to the Cemetery, and there are
no men who know better than our city
fathers that such q road can never
be constructed by tho present route.
We speak Of 1t now becsuGe all oI the
preliminary Investigations have been
made and they are fresh and familiar TO
the present members Of council. For this
reason 1t might be well lor the present
council>to determine whether with the
light before them they shall or shall not
take action In the matter.

The Pittsburgh papers Of yesterday
have something to say on the difficulty
that exists between the manufacturers
and puddlers. The Manufacturer makes
this remark: "Unless we are very much
mistaken, before another issue Of the
Manufacturer reaches our readers, Tor the
frat time in seven years Pittsburgh will
be In the midst Of a strike In the iron
mills" The Commercial says that there
Is nothing definite determined upon, but
Il learns on reliable authority that the
puddlers have agreed to submit q proper
ton, to this effect-viz-to work for IS 30
per ton, provided the card for iron is re-
duced TO 81 cents. This would continue
the sliding scale, which the puddlers de-
sire. The manufacturers are very much
opposed to reducing the card.


It is stated that the stock Of muck bar

II Is understood that the following plan
of action has been agreed upon by the Dem.
ocratic Senators in regard to Louisiana mat.
ters One of their number will, when the
question is again brought before the Senate,
offer as an amendment or a substitute for
Mr.. Carpenters bill providing for new
election, resolution looking to the recogni.
ton of the McEnery government as the gov.
ernment elected by The people OF Louisiana.
Should this fail the Democrats say they will
have acquitted themselves OF their first
duty. and will then support Mr.. Carpenters
bill as the only measure for the practical
relief Of the people OF that State. 1t is
argued by the Democratic Senators that the
McEnery governmen: is the only legal
government. and if the Senate should
refuse to recognize that fact. there would
then be. in their opinion. no legal govern
ment in Louisiana, and it would be their
solemn duty to afford the people of Louis
lana the means for establishing a legal gov
ernment. This dispossesses the matter of
the bugbear Of federal interference. which
has worried some of the States rights advo-
Gates. and makes the united action of the
Democracy more Imperative. Supporting
them in the view only that there is no legal
government ID Louisiana are more than
enough Republican Senators 20 carry the
the measure through.


Senator Carpenter says that as soon as
the debate on the finance bill is closed,
which he expects will be by Monday next;
he will try to get up his bill providing for
a new election in Louisiana. He seems to
be firm in this, and there is no evidence,
Judging from his positive manner that the
friends of the administration have made
any impression on him which would lead
him to deslst from his original fixed purpose
to try to obtain a new election.-Ne.r York

that he wished to advertise a watch and
chain he had stolen without knowing it. 1t

Fourth street, few doors above this office,
attending an auction, and the room being
densely crowded, he was forced to push his
way through in order to get to the front

coat became entangled IN a small, weak
vest chain, worn by one Of the men in the
store. The chain was broken near the hook,
and without the knowledge of the owner
the watch was lifted from his pocket and
carried away on the back of the other. He
had proceeded but q short distance when

Old Father Brayne, of Syracuse, n
Y, was very popular camp meeting
lea der. He used to tell in meeting the
following story:


While conducting camp meeting in
western New York, a messenger arrived
at the camp to inform him that the wife
of the chief deacon had died that morn
ing. Father Brayne delegated his pow
ers to another, and started to comfort
the bereaved widower. After twenty
miles ride, he reached the farmhouse,
where the deacon lived, about four in
the afternoon. On entering he shook
the widower by the hand, and sat down
in silence. By-and-by he began to con-
dole with the bereaved man, and offered
him all the consolation in his power.


cit is very heavy grief you have to
BEAR" said the minister, "but you
must bear up like man."


Yes," the deacon responded, it's
kind O. rough. Let's take walk
around"


Father Brayne, thinking that the
widower felt i'll and depressed, and that
the fresh air would do him good, read
lily assented. The deacon led him to
his barns and stables, and showed him
over his farm. The parson seemed to
take great interest in everything, and
rejoiced to think that he was helping to
divert the deacon's mind from his terri
BILE sorrow. After they had gone round
the whole farm the deacon said -


Now minister, ye see everything's
in fine order. What would you advise
me to do-bring my daughter and her
husband here to manage the place, or

for another wife?''

On Thursday evening, in this city, died
Joseph w. Langwith; yesterday afternoon
he was buried. 1t has been but few days
since we saw him at his duty across the
way. Yesterday. as it were, he stood
strong in health; to-day nothing is left but
the dead remnants of manhood. Mr.. Lang
with was a native of the State of Maine.
He had been for many years in this State,
and was known to a large number OF our
people. He was photographer by profes-
sion, and in other days was associated IN
that business with Mr.. Quay, on Camp
street. His face is also remembered by the
habitues Of the St. Charles Theatre, where
for many years he was usher. Latterly he
has been employed by E. c. Palmer & Co.,
in the carpet department OF that establish
ment. He was prominent member OF the
Order of Odd Fellows, standing as Past
Grand of Union Lodge No. 6. Consid'
ering brotherly love and charity, the
the principle tenets of that order, he was
the ideal Odd Fellow, belonging to the uni.
versal brotherhood, bearing good will toward
all mankind. With nature too unselfish to
make gains for himself, he lived and died a
poor man. His heart was all too big for
a successful struggle in life as this
world goes. He was generous to fault,
and was himself his only enemy. He
was simply "Joe" to all who knew him,
and will he remembered as one who had as
noble nature and as kind heart as ever
man had who has lived among US.

Yesterday mornings REPUBLICAN, by an
oversight, omitted to acknowledge the
obligation Of the public and the profession
to the Ouaehita Telegraph for it's admirable
report of the decisions of the Supreme
Court at Monroe. Il is not the first time
that such acknowledgment has been due,
nor the first time the REPUBLICAN has taken
advantage of the legal aenmen OF the

more by appreciation than by fattery.
Nevertheless, it should have been explained
that the many important legal points were

Judge Hawkins decision, on the rule for

battle lost only to gain victory in the
