Phoenix, Jan. 20-The Touring mills of Wm. B. llellings X Co. stopped running to- day. Holders of wheat are waiting for an advance in prices, and cash payments. Mir Hellings says he will have no flour for sale at mills after this date. It is generally believed that the quantity of flour now in the market is insufficient to supply the demand, and that the amount produced by Judge Hayden. at his mills on the Tempe, will not be enough to supply the deficiency.

 Mir Helings has taken all his working force to the hog ranch, and Is turning out bacon, lard and sausage at an astonishing rate.

 The public school of Phoenix opened on Monday morning, under the efficient man. agement of Miss Shaver. The children have had long vacation, and it is presumed that they have enjoyed themselves during the Holidays. They are no exception to the gen. eral average of children, being 10th to come down to business of school hours, books and birch rods again.

 The all-ahsorbing topic of interest among our citizens Is the location of the capital, and there are as many opinions as persons to express them, as to the best method of get ting the capital here, and our grave and rev erend senors at Tucson are sorely puzzled. The telegraph operator here is securely but ton-hoed whenever he goes down street to deliver message. and news is demanded of the capital question. The people here seem to think that the capital belongs to this town, and they are determined to make no compromise.

onment in the State Penitentiary for


not less than one year nor more than


ten years, and fine Of not less than ST.,
900 nor more $4,000. Another secti0e

crime, with the same punishment, for
| any person to aid or abet in the com
mission of the act.


Some weeks since, German named
John Angel Miller, residing in Moores.
vile, Floyd county, Indiana, was mar
rled to negro woman named Mary
Simms. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Jesse Bass, pastor of the
Bethel Baptist Church, the leading


colored church of New Albany. Ii
| censc was issued to the parties by the
Clark county clerk, but it is not stated
/ on what representations. The fact OF
the marriage seems to have been kept
quite, no publication thereof having
been made.


A fow days ago the grand jury of
Floyd county found true bill for the
crime named against Miller and Bass.
The Sheriff and Chief of Police went
out to Mooresvllle and found Miller at
his home. in company with his negro
wife, and placed him under arrest. The
woman was much alarmed and begged
the officer not to take her husband
away from her. Miller was brought to
New Albany and placed in the county
jail. AT the instance of the Prosecu-
ting Attorney, Judge Smith has fixed


Miller's bail at So, 500, which, being


unable to give, he was still in Jail at


last accounts.


Afterward the Rev. Mr.. Bass was


arrested by the Deputy Sheriff, and


taken to Jail. His bond was made five


hundred dollars which hc has not yet


obtained.


The parties will be brought up for


trial before Judge Smith in few days.


The case is an unusual enc-probably
the first Of the kind which has occurred


in Southern Indiana for long time.
Miller is gardener and is represented
as quite a good looking man, although
presumably very ignorant, The wo-
man he married is said to be as black
as the ace of spades, and of anything
butprepossessing appearance. Rev. MIR.
Bass is the most prominent colored man
in New Albany, and his trial will, no
doubt, bring the colored population out
in force,


The following is q copy of the law
bearing on the case;


Section Al, No person having one
eighth part or more of negro blood
Shall be permitted to marry any negro
woman, or any woman bearing one
eighth part OF more of negro blood;
and any person who shall knowingly
marry under the provisions of this
section shall, upon conviction thereof, .
be imprisoned in the State prison not
less than one nor more than ten years,
and be fined not less than one thousand
dollars or more thon five thousand dol-
lars.

The author of "The French at Home"
says that in his walk, one morning, he
saw man pulled out of the water, appa


rently drowned. He was laid on the
right side, the face turned towards the
ground, and the jaws gently opened to
facilitate the escape of water. Several
times the head was placed q little lower
than the rest Of the body for the same
purpose, but only for a few seconds at
time. In the meantime, there was reg
ular manipulating process to induce


breathing, which consisted in pressing


the abdomen, stomach and sides of the


chest, but softly. The efforts were with


out effect; the man looked as if he had


seen the last of earth Then the pros


trato figure was carried 70 the nearest
station for the rescue of the drowned.-


Here the man was stripped and wiped dry
and he was laid, turned on the side, be-
tween two blankets on straw mattress;
the manipulating process was resumed,
with intervals of about a quarter of Z
minute between each pressure of the
body, the pressure beng repeated titteen
or twenty times, followed by a suspension
of ten minutes. Twenty minutes were
passed in this way, when a physician en-
ployed on this kind of service appeared
and took charge of the case. A warming
pan filed with hot water was passed ever
the body outside of the blanket, particu


larly over the pit of the stomach and the
sides of the chest. This was alternated
with a gentle friction Of hot woolen nit
tens and the naked hands, and the soles
of the feet and palms of the hands were
vigorously rubbed, An operator breathed
into the mouth of the man by means Of
a tube. These efforts also proving III
vain, the physician had recourse to the
introduction of tobacco smoke into the
intestines. In about ten minutes the
man gave feeble sign of life, whereupon
all manipulation was discontinued lest
it should interfere with the natural
movement. Soon he showed desire to
vomit, which was assisted by feather
introduced into tho throat. How long the
whole process lasted is not, stated, but
the reader will see it was lengthy. A
few days after the writer attended ball,
and among the most lively dancers he
saw the drowned man.

Among the worst features of badly
minded daughter, we would first single
out Incidence, or, to use the rough and
more expressive English word, laziness.
A lazy, sofa-lolling, lea bed late in the
morning young woman is an affront to
her sex, and in her own family more a
curse than blessing to her mother.
She is burden, and to her father an OBJ
ject of contempt. She is also great
promoter of domestic strife, and shock
ing example to her younger sisters.
Such being crawls, instead of walking
with tripping alacrity, through life. She
dawdles instead of works, her speech is
vulgar, and altogether her ways are very
bad indeed and to add to her misdeeds,
her health suffers through her folly, and
thus she wantonly imposes n grievous
tax on the purse and patience of her
parents. For girl to be idle in the
flush of her youth is to invite any and
all kinds of calamities to befall her with
bistering anguish, and, depend uponit,
the downward career of most afflicted
women may be primarily traced to this
early and wicked habit, for it is nothing
else, it being as easy for young woman
to be industrious as the reverse.

was announced in the midst of my
work, and left it, making him get out,
rather against his will. 1 know him too

After dinner l returned to my cookery.
Having carefully locked the door, was
surprised to see my pet there before me-.
His attitude was ominous; he was on the
top of the barrel two-thirls full of flour,
and busily occupied. He had got
hold of my egg-box, broken two or three
dozen, smashing them in the -four bar

These he was vigorously beating into
the flour, shells and all, STOPPING now
and then to take taste, with a counte-
nance as grave rs n judges. In my dis
may and grief did not scold him. Yet
to see my materials so used up, and we
living in the country, and guests coming |!

found in considerable numbers off the
island of Martha's Vineyard, coast of
Massachusetts,, ut this season of the

food by many persons, and the annual
catch is quite large. The ordinary
