A late San Diego Union had the follow ing special;

 SAN FRANCISCO, January 15.-A private dispatch from Mir. Blair in New York states that the federal government of Mex leo has finally confirmed the franchise granted by the State of Sonora to the Guayrias and Tucson Railway Company. This intelligence will be gratifying to The Union's Arizona and Sonora readers.

 Our expressed belief of last week proves to be true, and next to favorable legisla- tion by Congress on behalf of the Texas and Pacific company, we regard this in the order of importance to this part Of Arizona. We are not certain as to the time allowed the company to begin and finish the road, but understand that the confirmation of the concession will induce early work. The Texas and Pacific will come along sooner or later, and the Quay mas ard Arizona road can hardly fail to connect with It via this place. A City of Mexico correspondent says this company is a powerful one with s5,OOO,0OO capital in hand in 50,O0O shares.

THE registry bill now pending before the house, seems to possess the necessary provisions to secure fair elections, if election officers come nearly doing their sworn duties. We think the bill ought to provide for certain punishment of some duration and expense. This one places it in the power of judge to let guilty ones no matter how guilty either-of with no more than one cent fine or one minute imprisonment.

over the river, on the hill,
Lioth village white and still,
And all around the forest trees
shiver aud whisper in the breeze.
over 1t sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses low and sweet
Grow in the middle Of every street.
Over the river, under the hill,
Another village lieth still.
There see in a cloudy night
Twinkling stars Of household light,
Fires that gleam from the smithys door,
Mists that curl on the river shore,
And in the road no grasses grow,
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill,
Never a sound Of smithy or mill
The houses are thAtched with grass and flowers
Never a clock to tell the hours.
The marble doors are always shut
You cannot enter hall or hut,
All the villagers lie asleep,
Never again to SOW or reap,
Never in dreams 10 moan or sigh,
Silent and idle and low they lie.
Iu that village under the hill,
when the night is starry and still,
Many weary soul in prayer
Looks to that other village there,
And, weeping and signing, longs to 60
Up to that home from this below;
Longs to sleep by the forest wild,

And hcareth, praying, this answer fall:

The woman is all things or nothing
To the man who is wholly man
Is poem divine or discord
Too dismal for devils to scan;
And the words that must chime by Gods face
While eternity lends you His life,
Or jar on the harps in their place,
Are the twain we call husband" and "wife."

A BRAVE MAN.-Some newspaper has late
ly unearthed story Of mob law iu Henry CO.,
Kentucky, 10 1859, story which will bear con
densation, and which should 90 down to poster
ity, describing an example to be initiated, and a
scene TO be inmortrzed In 1859 there resided
in the county named several brothers bearing
the name of Henry, one of whom was charged
with murder. He was acquitted upon trial. but
the mob was dissatisfied with the verdict aud
demanded that not only the man charged with
the crime but all his brothers should leave the
county. One Of the brothers thus unjusty ban-
ned was slow to leave, and in consequence was
assalled, being shot at and narrowly escaping
with his life. His wife and children were
afterwards taken to him by young man named
Hunly. Then the mob demanded that HuGy
should leave the region Hunly went to his
house and told his aged parents of the situation
they decided not to obey the mob aud barricad-
I'd the house.


Outhe next day the mob came, twenty masked
men and numbers of respectable citizens who
dare not resist. The mob rode up to the house
and demanded the body of young Hunly. The
old mother appeared at window and replied
that her son had committed no offense; he had
simply aided an innocent woman and children;
he would not be driven out Of the country like u
criminal; she and her husband were prepared
to die with him. Then she bowed and retired.
The mob crowded forward, but there was man
among the spectators to be heard. As the old
mother ceased talking he came forward with
tears on his face and said "Ot all fortunes iu
life there is nothing like its fortunate ending
a man should be esteemed fortunate who finds
40 aoswer to the old Methodist prsper, Lord,
give us good time to get out Of the world. ;
| may live hundred years without finding
another opportunity to so happily end my life.
| am blessed My prayer is answered | will
die with these people !" Then drawing his pis-
tol the man (his name was Pollard) placed bis
back to the door and his face to the mob. The
effect Was grand Aesitatiug citiz ms, lacking
but the nerve to oppose rufaanism, rushed to
Pollard s support. The mob fed for their lives
before the desperate resolve OF the men before
them, and Hunly and his family were saved.
Pollard's Dame is still synonym for brave
manhood iu Henry county, and his glorious
example has done not little good. Could q
grander speech be col lived than this brief one
of six clean sentences? Aud is not the story
one to become immortal?

During the Central Wisconsin Fair a
gigantic concern exhibited on the grounds,
and among the attractions of this 'sgreat
show" was, what was venched for to be, the
veritable Cardiff Giant in all his pristine
glory. But towards the close OF its career
here, the treasurer of the concern made
himself scarce, and ran away with the re-
ceirts, leaving the proprietors in the lurch
with board bill to be settled for. The
board creditors, Messrs. Eaton & Kneisel, at
once proceeded to levy on what property
they could ind that would be likely to
satisfy debt of about forty dollars. They
found that the heaviest levy they could
make would be on the Cardiff Giant. To
be sure it was found upon examination
that it would take considerable capital to
handle an old solid chap like him, but the
case was desperate and disaster would fol-
low any hesitancy. The necessary papers
were issued to hold the giant, for tn sat-
isfac,ion of the board bill. With the aid
of several teams the monster was carted
down town. The old fellow is still unre-
deemed as piece of property, and Water
town can yet claim the honor of being the
possessor of the original Cardiff Giant.
His Giantship at present occupies COM
Portable quarters in the saloon of Joe
Cordes, Main street, where he lies peaceful
and serene, perfectly oblivious to the con-
dition of things.
