 There were most potent reasons why my first venture to start an exclusively Tobacco House m Prescott proved a success, among them were my b years experience in this

 line of business; handling Tobacco and Ci- gars only, and buying them for cash, in larger quantities than the mercantile houses competing with me. I gave better induce meAt to the trade and handling large quan- titles of goods in my line, turned my goods faster. and consequently they were fresher.

 Now as to my second venture: Although have but manufactured l2,000 of my own make, of Cigars, since I first started my Factory, can feel already, that the public is approaching my efforts to supyly them with Cigar thai is superior to any imported, for the reasons, tha: use the same tobacco that is worked into an imported cigar, and by curing the tobacco O the spot, furnish an article that is far superior both in taste and flavor. than any imported cigar, for the n ason that no cigar can retain it's flavor in coming to Arizona, on account of being on the road so long in this dry atmosphere.

 will now call the attention of all Saloon keepers, station keepers, hotel men, and dealers in general merchandise, to the fact that I can supply them with home made cigar that is better article, and at less price than any San Francisco house can af- ford to oo, for the reason that am here un- der a small expense and employ no drum mers like the San Francisco houses do, at an average expense of from $50 to $40 per day, which of course is levied on the cigars you buy, and makes them so much dearer than can afford to supply the trade at.

 In addition to the above reasons why il would be advantageous for the trade 10 pat ronize Home Industry, there are other sd- vantages which will now enumeraie:

 By supplying yourself from my factory you need not buy so large a quantity as you would from distant market, for the reason that you can be suppued at short notice, hence you wlll always nave a fresh article ana one that retains it's fresh taste and fla vor, and right here is where one of the prin- cipal advantages comesin in purch hasing

WAsHINGroY, August 27.-The au-
thoritative announcement OF Gen.
Grants Willingness to accept the Prest-
dencv Of an inter-OceanIc canal compa-
nv, under American auspices, Is re-
ceived in political circles here with
much satisfaction. 1t is universally ad-
that such an acquisition TO an enter
prise of that magnitude would insure
success, and would enable him TO lend
his influence in the United States and
in foreign countries to a project IN
which the whole commercial world
would be interested. His personal
friends are much gratified over this de-
termination, and think that he could with
all credit to his past public services aCcept
and fill such position. The politicians,
however, are not so jubilant over
this new departure, and declare that
General Grant is more a necessity TO
the party now than he was in 1868. In
his recent letters to his friends, the Cen
eral has very pointedly indicated his
unwillingness to be candidate Tor an
other Presidential term. 1t was his in
tention at one time 10 extend his jour
news in foreign lands, so as to prolong
his absence from his native land, hoping
by this self-imposed exile to avoid the
opportunities OF his political friends, and
to permit the nomination OF Republic
can candidate to be made before his re-
turn. He has finally, however, deter
mined to return, without this delay, and
it is intimated that he will early after
his return, formally announce his final
and irrevocable determination not to ac-
cept the nomination OF the Presidency II

even few dollars for printing which We
had credited him for. and yet he was sober
and honest, and very prudent in all his ex-
penditures.


We are not making an argument one
way or the other In this matter. Weare
simply stating facts, or trying to do so as
pear as we can. We are not in favor
at New Castle; and have received FEW
favors in the shape of printing. And
only desire to keep the readers OF the
GAZETTE posted. When we have gone
to New Castle we have mostly found the
officers engaged. Writing is laborions
work when one has to copy with care
and accuracy, and it is not expected that
a man can write continually, beside that
these gentlemen are compelled to be
courteous and to receive gentlemen who
call, with the usual civility extended to
visitors. Then again their business is
not regular. Sometimes they have little
to do for weeks, and at other times they
have to work night and day. The fees
comes in slowly sometimes. No WORK,
no pay. If the offices were salaried,
every citizen would have to pay part oil
the fees while having nothing to do with
the cases. Would not this tend to cause
a great increase Of this kind Of business F?
We think 1t would. Now, if a man gets
his pay in fees and does all the work, he
gets all the money. If, however, he is
not able to do all the work, or liberal
enough to pay clerk, he may perhaps
save his health at the expense OF his
pocket. Now, as TO the fees, whether
they are too high or too low, we have not
had time to examine them, as carefully
as we should, nor compare them as print
ed in the volume of 1874 with them as
printed in the volume of 1852. But so
far as we have been able to judge, we
incline to the opinion that the present
fees are not too high. 1t may be
one or two are. In reference to
the Prothonotary's Office, we think there


is one fact that is not generally known,
which is that it is in law regarded as
always open, night and day; or in other
words that officer is bound TO get up out
of his bed at any time and 60 to his
Office and record judgment, nor is he
permitted to charge an extra fee for this.
Gentlemen have not usually retired from
these offices with much money. We
doubt if there is an officer at New Castle
that has kept record of all his fees, and
could with exactness tell what he annu.
ally receives from his office. The fee


bill, as recorded in the Digest, covers
every item for which charge can legally
be made, and the same service applies in
all the counties alike.

Mat. hnhpS Store Goes Up In Smoke.


Last night about II 80 o'clock disastrous
fire occurred in West St. Paul, resulting in the
total destruction of Mat. Kuhrs store. The
building was story and half high, and par
TALLY constructed Of brick and framework. At
the above designated hour some Of the neigh
bors detected the signs Of the fire,
clambered on the ROOF to investigate,
and found the inter>or in the rear in a full
blaze. The alarm was given and soon quite
concourse of people assembled.


Willing hands undertook the task of saving
some of the property, but by this time the
few minor and valueless articles were
rescued. The material of the building
was Of the most inflammable kind, and only q
few moments after the first discovery the whole
structure was wrapped in flames and speedily
consumed.


1t is estimated that the house was worth
| about 500 and the stock of goods in store was
| variously valued at $400 to 5000. There was a
partial insurance on the building and stock,
| but in both cases SO small that it may be con-
sidered only nominal.


The supposition ventured by the by-standers
! is '5Eat the fire was the WORK of an incendiary.
| Ers. Kuhl attributes it to tramps. Yesterday
afternoon two Of this fraternity applied to her
for a meal; she declined giving it until they
sawed some wood she needed. This they posi-
lively refused to do and went away in a threat
ening and surly manner. She thinks her house
was fired in revenge by these two men. This
view is somewhat confirmed by the locality in
which the first signs of the fire were discovered
and also from the time it originated. Mrs. Kuhl
| left the store short time before IL o'clock
and went to her residence on the bluff, where
her husband is confined to a bed of sickness.
Scarcely half hour thereafter the FIRE burst
out Of the storc-building. It is presumed that
tho tramps were on the watch for her to leave
and Immediately after her departure consum
mated their dastardly revenge. The fire as men
toned was found to have originated at the
rear of the building. Access to this part was
very easy as the building was flush against the
bluff. Mrs. Kuhl is certain that the fire did
not occur through any carelessness in regard tt
the fire in the stove; the stove door was closee
and the fire almost out whe1
she left. The loss is a severe one upon Mr.
Kuhl and family, and particularly so at thi
time, as he is only recovering from a long ant
expensive spell of sickness. No alarm wa
turned in to the FIRE department by tho police
officer on watch, and nothing was known of tn
fire this side until it burst forth in full glsr
through the roof.

As it now seems almost an assured
fact that the above road is to be
completed at an early day, it will per-
haps not be inappropriate to call at
tention to the manifold ways in which
the townof Huntington and thecoun-
try through which it passes will be
benefited by it. In the first place it
will give Huntingdon direct commun-
ication with Memphis, enc Of the best
produce markets in the South, so that
our produce merchants can pay hand>
some prices for butter and chickens,
and instead of buying only enough tor
local consumption, can buy them in
large quantities, as they now do at
Trezevant, pay high prices, and ship
them to Memphis and realize a good
profit. In addition to this it will make
Huntingdon an important transfer
station from the north to the south,
and-from the east to the west, thus
building up and improving the many
industries incident to such a town.
1t will enhance the value of every
farm through which it runs, and at the
same time be convenient to the farm
ers. As for McLemoresville, well,
we are counting ON it doing more for
that little village than any town
through which it passes, unless it be
Milan-the latter will bid fair to rival

| From the San Francisco News letter.


Rumors are afoat that Gen.
Grant shows signs of a malady that
is hereditary in his family. 1t is
said that his father, Jesse Grant, was
afflicted with softening of the brain
before he was ifty years of age, and
that during the last years of his life
he was little more than an imbecile.


Orvil Grant, whose eccentric con-
duct in California only last year will
be remembered, has since been an in
mate of the New Jersey insane asy-
lum. 1t is also said that one of the
generals sisters has been afflicted the
same way.


Many people who have met GeD.
Grant since his arrival in San Fran
cisco have noticed a wild, strange
look in his eye. Often when con-
versing with gentlemen, and even with
old friends, he has stopped short in
the middle of a sentence and hesitat-
ed, sometimes for full moment be-
fore completing it.


At San Jose he was introduced to a
number of soldiers Who fought with
him at Fort Donelson. Instead of
greeting them cordially, he turned
half round and simply stared at them
over his shoulder, and never said a
word.


Again, at Stockton and at Madeira
he was presented to a number of his
old comrades in the Mexican war, but
the General treated them in the cold
est manner, and in way that left
the impression on every one present
that he was displeased at meeting
them. These, and many other in
stances of his peculiar conduct 90 to
shoS that it is sad possibility that
his mind is commencing to weaken.


While in the Presidential chair,
Gen. Grant was noted for his affable
greetings to all his visitors, and on no
other hypothesis can the great change
in his manner be placed, than that
there is something wrong in his men,
tai faculties. Perhaps the great
strain on him for the fifteen years of
his eminent public career has had
something to do with the change in
him that is now so painfully observ-
able.


Another evidence of his approach
ing affiiction is the unevenness of his
conversation. At times he will talk
with fuency and ease, and then In a
few minutes relapse into an attitude
of perfect silence, and only answer
questions by "Yes" or Il "No."


We most sincerely hope that the
great calamity of "a mind overthro rown"
may never be visited upon the illus
trious General and statesman whom
San Francisco and all the world has
delighted to honor. 1t would be
national affiiction were he to become
incapacitated for future usefulness.
