Prof. Quinton's last lecture in the
course is given tonight, as advertised
in our columns elsewhere. This lecture
will treat of the advent of Man. an
exceedingly interesting subject, and
one on which there has been SO much
speculation. The Professor has carried
his audiences with him thus far from
the nebuls up to the carboniferous age.
Now he proposes to finish his work for
the course by introducing man on the
scene. His views on this subject will
be looked for with great intensity. We
hope the Professor will 60 further and
give US few more lectures.

 On next Tuesday the political hosts in the great Empire State wlll meet in battle array and decide one of the most important political struggles of tue season, and one which will have great influence in shaping the policy of the Democratic party in regard to the Presidential campaign of 1880. The Democrats have as their Gubernatorial nomi- nee, Mir. Robinson, who. at the previous election not only carried New York City by

 large majority, but swept the State at large. The Republicans have for their standard bearer, Mr. Cornell, who has here tofore proved himself to be bod, skillful and popular leeder, and who has entered

 the campaign with determination to over come all obstacles, and free the State from

 the fate of Uncle sammy Tilden and SeBa- tor Conkling. The success of Robinson

On the other hand the Repub- iicaus feel confident that the split caused by the rupture with the Tammanyites will so divide the vote in the city that Robinson will not more than get bare majority, and when Cornell comes laundering at the Gates of Gotham, backed by the large vote of the State outside. he will ride triumphantly into Albany, and thus forever break the backbone of Tlldenism, and prove that the strong will of the people is greater than the defunct Democratic leaders famous "barl.' y

It Is reported that the President startled Mir. Eyarts on Thursday by offering him the place of United Statrs Minister to England. Inasmuch as such an offer from the Presi- dent, if it was a surprise tO the Secretary, was equivalent to an invitation to take him. self out of the Cabinet, it may we'll have been startling, because it must imply that the Secretary has dissatisfied the Executive with his recent demonstrations in favor oi the stalwarts. and. naturally, he could not precisely tell whether it was because he had been too stalwart or not stalwart enough. But we rather doubt the report that thIs proffer of the mission was a surprise to the Secretary; for, in fact, the appearances are that he had already guessed that the Presl- dent had an intention of that sort, and even that he himself might accept the place, and that he hsd toned his recent campaign speech with a view 10 those facts. For if a man goes 10 London just at the end of a Presidential term he may not want ts come home few months later. and Ifhis staying there is to depend upon the will ofa new President of the s'alwart stripe, why, it is wise 10 stand well with the stalwarts.-N.

The late strike in this wonderful mine puts at rest forever, the theory that Arizona mines are only grass root deep. A GO foot cross-cut at a depth of 150 feet, in the new shaft, revea,s bouy of high grade ore of almost Incalcuable extent. The cross-cut is in so,id ore from the beginning, and as yet the opposite wall has not been reached. It is the intention of the superintendent to put the shaft dswn l00j feet and run shafts at proper intervals preparatory to stopping, if reduction works are erected in connection wIth the mine, which is contem plated. Steam hoisting works and cage have been ordered for this shaft and 1t is 10 pushed down with all possible speed. Shaft No i, 400 feet east of the working shaft has attained at a depth of 800 feet, where an uninterrupted body of ore, unsurpassed in richness or extent by any other mine on the Pacific Coast, from wall to wall, distance of S6 feet. The vein is unbroken from top to bottom of this shaft. and it, together with its drifts and winzes show that there are millions in it.n Nearly one-third of all the bullion shipped from the Territory last year was taken from this shaft and its vari- ous levels. The King has a future that will dwarf the recollection of the Comsteck, and that in the near future, and while this is the case, other mines in Pinal County will mark an era in silver mining in Arizona.-Silver Belt.

text books in any study may always be
made and there will always be room for
them, but there is an advantage in adher-
ing to the method of a grammar that has
been in long use. Nearly all the difference
in recent grammars from the older ones is
that they are made more abstract and the
precise need is that change should be in the
other direction if there is to be any change.
Some pretended grammarian gets new
fancy of the relations of words, reshapes
the grammar on his theory and presents his
labors to mankind as a new discovery. II
u man has called the ancient, honest pro-
noun a pronominnl adjective and added
half the short words in the dictionary to the
list of conjunctions he imagines he has
done wonders. but it seems scarcely worth
while to revolutionize instruction in the
public schools for no better reason than to
reward such superfuous labors.
