 The clerk informs fhe Citizen that the calendar for this term is the larg est ever known in Pima county; the law and civil actions numbering thirty nine. There are about seven teen cases to be submitted to the Grand Jury, ill each of which it is probable an indictment will be found To this end the District Attorney has been eminentIy diligent in the pres entatiOn of his cases. However the good to result from all this will be the determination of the Grand Jury to suppress crime and also the power of the law and order spirit which may hover over said jury.

One year ago fears were expressed that we had only surface diggings, but they are dissipated by subsequent inications as ledges are sunk upon. Pinches in leads is not an amola. They are expected and consequently do not discourage miners who have defined veins and have found ore in place. To the inexperienced, they seem i'm passible barriers and induce them to believe they have entertained hope but to be deceived and those who thought otherwise, and were not afraid of work, have pulled through and will, as soon as sufficient stamps arc here to crush the ore, have a competency if not great riches not such, perhaps. as are imputed to Sol omon, but more than sufficient to warrant a brown stone front, car riage, driver wearing plug lat and footman in the cogpe, il livery

The workmen have the foundation for the boiler completed, an6 are putting the same in position. The machin cry for the saw mill is being put up and by the last of next week the y think the mill will he ready to man ufacture lumber. The quartz mill will not be ready to run before the 18th of October. In the meantime the company w.ll continue prospect ing some of the most promising leads with a view of having large quan- titv of ore on hand for treatment when the mill is ready to receive it. We hear GIr Smith mentioned in the highest terms in connection with the management of the Golden Era prop erty. Everything is done in busi- ness manner and paid for with prompt ness. Since the commencement of operati ons by this Company in Cherry Creek District, new impet- us has been given to mining matters in that section, and many new dis csveries have been made, some of which are spoken of as very rich.

On Saturday last German residing in the
town Of Clifford by the name OF Ferdinand
Niche committed suicide in most horrible
manner. 1t seems that he had been rather all
ing for long time, though until Friday of
last week had been able to do more or less
work about the farm. On that day he was
taken worse, and continued to become worse
until Saturday evening. His wife wanted, on
Friday, TO have doctor sent for, but he would
not consent until Saturday evening, when he
told her she might go and get neighbor to
come to Lake City for physician. She went
at once, returning in half hour or SO, only
to come upon one of the most dreadful of
spectacles. 1t seems that as soon as she left.
her husband arose and put tremendous load
into an old Springfield musket, after which he
seated himself on the floor by the cupboard,

Speaking of artists, l am reminded of
Brumidi, who probably has no equal in
this or any other country as pure fres-
co painter, and who, for the past twelve
years or more, has been at work deco
rating the Capitol. Although his great
work is the allegorical painting on the
ceiling of the dome, some of the work
that he has done in the several commit
tee rooms and other parts of the Senate
wing will probably never be surpassed.
This man, now almost about to leave
this world, is certainly phenomenon.
Before he came to this country he made
his mark in all parts of Europe, for it
was the same Brumidi who did these
remarkable works of art that decorated
the walls of ST. Peters in Rome, which
have always been admired, and which
are admitted by all judges to be perfec


ton, if perfection can ever be reached
in any thing. 1t was he who also did
the decorations in the palace OF the Car
of Russia, as well as other important
work elsewhere The old gentleman
has become so feeble that he is now un-
able to climb up the steps leading to the
rotunda, where he is painting a record
of this country which will, if completed,
reach entirely around the rotunda. 1t
starts out with the landing of the
Pilgrims, and will continue, scene
af er scene, until he reaches
the Centennial, which finishes
the first hundred years of the country.
This work is pure fresco, and from the
floor the figures are brought out so re-
markably that even experienced per-
sons suppose that they are statues. A
derrick has been rugged by which he is
carried every day that he is able to
work up to a stationary swinging scat
fold. Large crowds witness his ascen-
sion, and hundreds are at all times, dur
ing the sessions of Congress, engaged
in viewing it. 1t is with great difficult
ty that some people can be made to be-
lieve or understand that the various fig
ures seen above are not real statues.
Brumidi has been at work on this,
probably the last work of his life, for
over year, and it is not yet more
than one-tenth completed. He says,
however, that if he has good health and
is able to work little every day, he
can complete the circle in about two
years. 1t will be difficult, even if it is
possible, in case he dies before he gets
through, to secure an artist who can do
so. The idea is entirely his own, and
as he only makes his drawings as he
needs them no one else can complete
the work as be intends if he lives long
enough. Brumidi works on fresh plas-
ter, which is put on the walls as he
needs it. He uses three colors-white,
kind of pink or red and black, max
ing from these pearls and grays light
and dark as he needs them for shading.
Brumidi is, as almost every one knows,
an Italian. He is over seventy years OF

Fowls occasionally fall into the bad
habit of devouring their own eggs, in
duced probably by their privation of
meat food. One poultry-raiser, whose

the best of care, tells how he finally
broke it up, after trying many remedies
in vain: eesrs


At last I thought would play trick

butt open large enough to let out the

floor than the rest of the fowls went for
their share; they got it, all of them.
They soon walked off wiping their
beaks against every thing, they. came
across. They left little for manners
sake. 1t resulted (the joke) in my
gathering the eggs the next day, and I
have not had any occasion to repeat the
experiment until last week, when tried
it with the same result, and since then

Justice Miller, in an address to the

perhaps be surprised when / tell you that
the ablest lawyer of this or any other bar,

the mechanics apprentice. Ofcourse l
do not mean by this that he has to learn
the law. But what the apprenticed me-
chanic learns of his master is not the
mechanical forces, at least not mainly
that. What he does acquire in that ap-
premiership is skill in the use Of his
tools. This is precisely what I am say

this from my own experience, for it is

from complex case presented to me for

is equally true whether the contest be
one of law or fact, or both. by practlce
and attention 1 can listen to lawyer,
read a document offered in evidence, pass
with him lightly over the formal parts
of the instrument, and when he cones to
the vital matter, the few words, perhaps,

whatever it may be, and in one-third the

In the care of the muscles avoid colds
and rheumatisms. They make people
stiff and lame. They take away the
natural elasticity which gives SO much
pleasure, and substitute worn out
tired and exhausted feeling which bor-

to bear. How very careful the owner
of fine horse is that it shall not take

Whenever we have to establish new
relations with any one, let us make an
ample provision of pardon, of indulgence
and of kindness.


1t is wonderful how silent man can
be when he knows his cause is just, and
how boisterous he becomes when he
knows he is in the wrong.


No man while unhappy can show forth
true, noble manhood. Everything
short of cheer is medicinal, and medicine
was not made for daily use.


Being sometimes asunder heightens
friendship. The greater cause of the
frequent quarrels between relatives is
their being so much together.


No one is so greatly to be feared as the
man who is willing to tell you all he
knows, because the chances are that he
will tell you great deal more.

perhaps the hardest task given us is to
lock up natural yearning of the heart

The history of the world teaches us no
lesson with more impressive solemnity
than this-that the only safeguard of a
great intellect is q pure heart; that evil
no sooner takes possession of the heart
than folly commences the conquest of the
mind.


Very few men acquire wealth in such
a manner as to receive substantial plea
sure from it. Just as long as there is
the enthusiasm of the chase they enjoy
it; but when they begin to look around
and think of settling down, they find
that that part by which joy enters is
dead within them.


In the struggle of life the hero and the
coward, the conqueror and conquered,
need sympathy equally. Often the mind
which uphoIds others needs itself to be
upheld; the honest heart that seems SC
bold and true is fainting from secret
sorrow, dying from some little wound
which sympathy could staunch.
