The Republican Senate and Democratic House in Congress seem to vie with each. other in demagogue practices, each hoping to improve the chances of their partizan nominees for the Presidency by acts oi parsimony and niggardly littlcness in the matter of appropriations. The House took the initiatory steps and sought to popularize the Democracy by pretended economy in holding just dues from those who are fur nishing the sinues of war, and the Senate seems to be craven enough to cover before the threatened advantage such action will give their political adversaries in certain quarters, and announce that they are ready, to meet the House half way in all reduc- tions that.will not affect existing laws.

 They should have had the courage to do right, as statesmen, regardless of appear ances, or what the effect might be on po- litical campaign. Every member of both Houses understands that the Government cannot be carried on without money, and that it is no economy to withhold just 3D. populations which must sooner or later be made, with additions to cover the expense of delay.

The prettiest specimen of gold in crystal ized quartz we ever saw or heard of, was shown us by Col. C. F. Head, and came from what is known as Rows mine, near the Gila This specimen is three or four inches in length, showing the perfect faces of the crystal, which arc not so smooth and glassy as quartz crystals usually are; but to make up for any want of regularity or polish, it is thoroughly impregnated, as it were, with the brightest and most beautiful quality of gold, which extends in blotches from base to apex, and terminates at the top in a sort of golden cap.

PRESS CoMINe.-Our new cylinder press is now on the way from Chicago, and if no unnecessary delays occur it will reach here in August, after which time we shall enlarge the MINER, so as to do more ample justice to many interests that for want of room, at present, we are obliged to pass over with very brief mention. In the mean time, however, we shall be much obliged to par ties living in any part of the Territory for condensed reference to what is transpiring in their several localities. After the arrival of the new press We think of running daily paper giving all the telegrams at least until after the Presidential election in November and if it can be made to pay, shall continue it indefinitely. We have no political object nor ambition in publishing paper in Ari- zona, but are ambitious to publish good newspaper which shall fully and fairly rep- resent every industrial and social interest, and which shall give to every one his or her just mead of praise for duty we'll performed and censure where censure is deserved; this is our ambition, and this is our motive, in ordering improved machinery and preparing tomeet any emergency as to quantity or quail ity of printing, that an anticipated improve ment in our mining operations may bring about. This statement of the case would be incomplete however, and false, at least by implication, were we not to add that un- deriving all these considerations we hope ul- timately to make it profitable as business investment.

DOMESTIC INFELcITY.-Police court sketches being all the rage in some of the Eastern cities, Prescott, not to be behind in the race of progress, has been trying her hand at the new sensation, and some of her court sceues if written up by the Detroit Free Press man would eclipse anything that worthy has yet given to the public

 On Saturday evening in Judge Otis court occurred case growing out of domestic in felicity, in which wife drank too deeply of theintoxicating cup,had sought the residence of ''soiled doven where she was comfortably lodged when her liege found her, and with pursuasive speech besought her to return and resume her domestic duties. To this she de- murred in terms more emphatic than polite, closing her speech with an inueudo that seemed to cast & reflection on her husbands maternal progenitor. This aroused the spirit of manhood in his breast, here there was a discrepancy in the testimony as to whether she fell out of bed, or whether he pulled her out, but at any rate she was on the floor, and to use his own words, as given in testimony

 

 he "raised her dress, and spanked her gently on the hip as he would an erring child" Meanwhile the witness made waving mo- ton with his right hand to show the jury how tenderiy and affectionately the chastise- ment was administered. Other witnesses expressed it in different language and con- veyed to the minds of the jury a different impression, but as he ought to know best what he did we only give his version. The climax was that he had her arrested on charge of being drunk and disorderly, of which the Jury acquitted her and appended to their verdict that she was entitled to divorce, and she had him arrested for as- sault and battery, to which he plead guilty, and was fined $20.

Romance, it is universally acknowledged,
is gradually being edged out of the world by
the march of modern civilization and the
practical tendencies of this iron age. 1t may
be found scattered here and there among the
vine-clad hills of Southern France, hidden in
the mountain Businesses Of the Tyrol, or in
Italian towns as yet uneXplored by the mod
ern tourist. Occasionally it is met with in
comparatively unknown Spain; and among
the peoples Of pure Scandinavian origin it
undoubtedly exists in crude and rugged
form. The Indians Of North America, the
Hindoos and the Chinese cling to its remnants
with certain degree of fondness; but no.
where has it been so little changed by the
hand of time as in the distant, sunny islands
of Japan and here, even, we must enjoy it
while we may, for reform and progress are
cutting it away piecemeal, and Japan must
commonplace, practical nations of the world


Between the inhabitants of Southern Eu-
rope-the most romantic people of our west
ern wOrld-and the japanese, there is great
similarity Of character. Both are essentially
people who live for the present; both prefer
the bright side of the mirror of life to the
duller but truer both are epicurean in their
tastes habits and costumes; to both is luxury
delightful and exercise detestable.


Without being slothful, as the Italians, the
Japanese are remarkably wanting in that
cold, stern energy, SO characteristic Of north
ern nations; without being violently excitea-
BILE, as the Spaniards. they are easily moved
to mirth and tears, and extremely sensitive to
ridicule and shame; and, without carrying
their patriotism to the frantic extreme of the
Marseillais and Bordelais, they have profound
veneration for their native land, and every.
thing pertaining to it; and, with the Chinese,
share the singularity of being one of the last
nations of the globe to throw off an old CIV
ilization for a new.


Again, they have the chivalrous politeness
and courtesy Of the French Of past genera
ton, the warm feelings of the Spaniards, and
the alteration of nature and art of the Ital-
ians. Hence the English traveller in Japan
cannot fail to remark that, while the inhabi-
tants have an awe and respect for US, their
personal feelings bind them far closer to the
nations which resemble them most in man

New YORK, August 19.-Thomas Henry,
one of the Fenians who arrived in the Catalpa
to-day, said to reporter: Wewere expecting
for about two years that we would be rescued
from prison. We always kept on the alert for
a movement of any kind which could be
turned to our advantage. We were notified
of the sailing of the Catalpa, and expected
her in March, but we did not hear of her ar
rival until a few days before the 18th of April,
the day on which we effected our purpose.
After breakfast on the 10th, about ten min
utes to eight o'clock, we left the prison gates
unobserved and entered carriages provided
for Us. Our party numbered eleven, includ-
ing the outsiders who kept in front and Fear
of US to look out for enemies. We reached
Rockingham at 1880 a. nl., where whale
boat from the Catalpa was lying, and got on.
The boats crew were then in charge of an
officer from the vessel. During the journey
by land we were not molested, though we
met several persons. When we were two miles
and half from the shore, the police came
up and captured our horses and carriages,
which had been left on the beach. We had
great trouble in finding the Catalpa, and the
police got boat and were searching for us.
A storm arose and blew US out to sea, and de-
stroyed our provisions. We were all wet
when night came on, and we were in a de-
plorable condition. When daylight came we
saw the Catalpa and made for her. When
about seven miles from the Island we saw the
colonial steamer Gurgelle and police cutter
searching for us, but they could not see us,
owing to the rough cross seas. The police
kept the Catalpa in sight, while the steamer
went to land. We were then 20 miles from
land, and near Rottenness, and rowed with
all our strength to the barque. At this time
the Catalpa and police had discovered us, and
the latter were fast pulling towards us, but
we headed the police cutter and reached the
Catalpa, scrambled on deck, the crew of the
the barque gave cheer, and we rushed over
to the other side of the deck, drew our re-
volvers and presented them at the heads of
seven men in the police boat. The steamer
Georgette was commissioned by the Govern
ment officials to follow US. The barQue could
not 60 to sea that night, as the wind was dead
ahead. The next morning the Georgette bore
down upon US, and demanded the Captain of
the Catalpa to give up the prisoners. The
latter refused, and the Georgette sailed for
the shore.


Four thousand dollars has been raised here
for the relief of the prisoners.

Our county fair is just over, says the Michigan Farmer, but Johnson's Cots wold ram did not take the prize that was offered for the best animal of that kind. Judge Klump was chairman of the con- mittee on rams, and he manifested the deepest interest in Johnson's, indicating clearly that if any sheep ought to take 8 prize that one ought to. Johnson's s ram was by itself in the pen with high board fence, and before adjudicating the judge thought he had better go in and make close examination of the animal for the purpose of ascertaining the fine ness of it's wool As soon as the judge reached the interior he walked toward the ram, whereupon the ram began to Just as the judge was about to feel the fleece, the ram leaped forward and planted his head in the judges stomach, rolling him over on the ground. Before the judge had time to realize what had happened, the ram came at him again and began series of promiscuous butts, each given with the precision and force of pile driver. It butted the judge on the back, on the ribs, on the arms, on the shoulder blades, and the bald place on his head, on his shins; it butted his spectacIes of, it butted his high hat into silk chaos; it butted him over into the corner, and up against the fence, then it butted four boards of the pen, and es- capped into the fair grounds and skedad- dled, and would not wait to have the first prize eticketpinned to his ear.

British baronets have frequently proved that they do not hold to the an cient theory of the dishonor of work. Baronets in these days are bankers and butter merchants; they go upon the stage, and they write plays. But they have lately begun to extend their labors to other fields. Only the other day, in the parish of Essex, in England, a baronet offered himself as a candidate @ for the two-fold office of clerk and sex ton, which was then vacant. The object of his action was an exemplary one. The office mentioned is what is called freehold, and, once elected, clerk or sexton cannot be removed from office during his lifetime. So the baronet thought it as well to keep the place in good hands. It is to be regretted, how ever, as an English journal remarks. that the new incumbent has thought it proper to appoint deputy sexton; for it would, indeed, in the case of some persons, deprive death of much of it's sting to be able to anticipate the burial of their bodies under the supervision of a real baronet.

A Perfect Day. The earth is wrapped in a dream of bliss,

 In rest complete And the touch of the air is like kiss,

 Comforting, sweet. And the tiny creatures are singing low

 AS lullaby; And the watching silence doth stir and glow

 As the wind creeps by. And there is the suns own mantle flung On the chestnut tops, And wonder are tangled rainbows hung

 With shimmsring drops. And over the things 50 soon to die

 Is 6 gentlsr law, A hush of peace and tenderer sky

 Than the summer saw. Open the windows wide to-day,

 Where soul may dwell, In the heart of palace grand and gay,

 Or prison cell. Oh, look, ye happy, till pleasure grows

 To nobler thing Till you bring your joy as he amber flows.

 For an offering. And look, ye weary, till grief and pain

 Trsnsfgured shine Rejoice for the crimson glory's gain,

 The hoiest sign. Oh, mourn ye never that hope is lost,

 That rest delays; They are after summer and after frost,

 These weetest daye. Often and often will skies be gray,

 And hearts be sad But the Lord hath made us 8 perfect day

 Let us be glad.

A CAUSE FOR REFLECTION made the acquaintance, day or two ago, of gentle man who is quite we'll of in this worlds goods, and he related circumstance that re- gently occurred in his own personal experi- ence that has caused us much serious reflec- tion. Our new acquaintance is an old bach elor, and finding wealth accommodating on his hands, and being without relatives on this Coast, bethought him of a widowed sister in Arkansas who has two sons, but who, in the matter of earthly possessions, is con- paratively poor. He wrote to his sister, tel ling her of his good fortune and saying that if she would send one of her sons to live with him he would do good part by him and make him his heir. The good woman, mother-like, prefering to keep both her sons at home as long as she can, simply wrote: If you had married early, as I did, you might now have boys of your own to con- fort your old age"

 Our friendsays, upon reflection, he believes she is right, and notwithstanding the rebuke, they shll be his heirs any way. We never expect to have any great fortune to leave to any body. but cannot help refecting that

 ?. Wash the wound thoroughly pouring an abundance ot water on it from a night, or hold it under a full stream from pump or hy- drant.

 Rinse the mouth and suck the wound as hard as possible, and for fifteen or twenty minutes, splitting out the blood, &c., which flows.

 When these are done, put a light poultice on the wound, keep quiet until the stuff comes off and then dismiss the matter from your mind, for all danger is past.

Coop HUMoR.-Good humor is the clear blue sky of the soul, on which every star of talent will shine more clearly, and the sun of genius encounters no vapors in his passage. It is the most ex- quisite beauty of a fine face, re- deeming grace in homely one. It is like the green in the land scape, harmonizing with every color, mellowing the glories of the bright and softening the hue of the dark; like a flute in a full chorus of instruments, a sound, not at first discovered by the ear, yet filing up the breaks in the concord with it's deep melody.
