THE ladies of Tucson intend to give a social party in the legislative halls on next Thursday evening-2lst-the object being to raise money to aid in building a public school-house. The Council and House both, by unanimous vote, rendered the use of the halls, and the ladies are zealously at work to make the party a success in all respects, with excellent en- couragement, too. They have already re- ceived ample assurances of a large attend ance. The ladies are always engaged in good deeds, and none could be better than that of raising money to assist the chil- dren in getting an education and in com fortable rooms, too. Those who attend this entertainment, will enjoy it all the more, feeling that they are thereby con- tributing something to the popular cause of education, and aiding boys and girls who need aid to become useful men and women. God will bless the ladies of Tue son for their efforts in this behalf.

The London correspondent of the
Graphic tells this story: One of the
most popular notions in England is
that our system of railway travelling
surpasses yours in comfort, from the
fact that with our small carriages it is
easy to get compartment to ones self,
or, at worst, a carriage with only one
or two occupants. That there are
drawbacks, however, even to this sum-
NIT of earthly felicity, the adventures
of a worthy director, who recently trav-
eled from one Midland station to an
other, may show. The train he had to
catch was very full and he was rather
late, and in hurrying to and fro he OBJ
served carriage tenanted by two men,
one of whom was 'eaning out of the
window while No. 2 was asleep in the
corner. No. l endeavored to assert
that the carriage was taken, but the
director would stand no such nonsense
and hustled into the carriage, followed
by the solicitor to the company. The
train started Immediately, and tenant
No. proceeded to explain that his
sleepy friend was lunatic, and that he
was his keeper, and that as his patient
was excitable all that was to be hoped
was that he might not wake. Un-
luckily this hope proved vain, and the
invalid being aroused required the
director to sit opposite him while he
explained the theory of the connection
between fish-ponds and frogs, the di-
rector's open mouth doing duty for the
former and the ranuncuh being repre-
sented by little pellets of paper, which
were hurled down the aperture with
great precision by the lunatic. This
interesting invalid next insisted on
the directors daubing his face with ink
which was produced from q travelling
bag, and the entertainment wound up
with screaming farce, called "Hot
Pancakes" in which the fun consisted
in the insane gentlemsn's slapping each
of his companions faces in turn, and
exclaiming, There's another hot pan
cake" This finally resulted in q free
fight, and the capture of the lunatic !;
but the director takes care now whom
he travels with.

Tom Sanders, of Buffalo, owns little,
lazy, slow mare, that is the ridicule of
his friends. One recent evening he and
some of these friends were talking of
horses, when he astonished them by
Offering to bet 800 that he could ride
his mare twenty miles in an hour. He
counted out the money in tantalizing
way, remarBing that his mare had been
laughed at long enough, and he had
made up his mind TO show what she
could do. It seemed like robbing him,
30 they all said, to take his bet, but he
insisted, and the stakes were put into
trustworthy hands. A day was chosen
for the trial, and when it came Tom led
them to the Central railroad depot,
where the homely little mare was found
aboard baggage car. Tom had tick
eted her for Rochester by express, and
when the train was ready to start he
got on her back, smiling triumphantly.
He said he reckoned that he could ride
that way twenty miles in an hour, un-
less the timetable lied. Away went
the train with the referee holding the
watch, and the three fellows who had
joined in the bet against the mare
very sorrowful of expression. About
fifteen miles had been run in about half
an hour, and Tom was grinning in an
ticipation Of easy victory, when the car
bumped over something, and he was
thrown off the mare, by hastily applied
air brakes. An axle had broken, and
the train was stopped for more than an
hour. And Tom was not so rueful over
the loss of the stakes and the failure OF
his trick as he was over his stupidity in
not thinking of taking the mare OFF the
cars and riding the rest of thotwenty
miles, as there had been ample time to
do within the hour.

Accidental Shooting at little Traverse.


A serious and well nigh fatal accident
occurred at Little Traverse last Sunday
night, whereby one Of the leading citi-
zens of that place came near losing his
life. James Bell, of the real estate firm
of Bell & Dickinson, was accidently shot
by the discharge of revolver in the
hands of Henry A. Rollins. The ball
entered the right side of the neck and
passed i'm a downward direction towards
the shoulder, and lodged out of the
reach of the surgeons probe. The
wounded man suffered very little pain
from the wound, and seemed, as well he
might, happy over his escape from in
slant death. Mr. Rollins will no doubt
be aiittle more careful Of fire arms here

The President and the members Of the
Cabinet are busy with the preparation Of
their reports to Congress, and private let
ter elsewhere printed gives some hints Of
what is likely to be the position Of the chief
officers of the administration upon the cur
rency question. The winters work in
Washington will have in view in the main,
probably, less the good of the country than
the benefit of the contending political
parties. The republicans will try to put
their opponents in a false and damaging po-
sition in relation to the currency and the
public debt the democrats will, by search
ing investigations into the management Of
public business, attempt to destroy the peo-
ple's con fdence in the republican leaders.
To the superficial view only confusion and
evil could grow out Of such contest ; but in
fact good will inevitably come of it. 1t is a
rough but effective way of protecting the
public interest and ifthe contestants on each
side prove their opponents unfit and un-
trustworthy they thus warn the people Of
the necessity Of discarding all of them and
selecting new men to administer their af-
fairs. 1t will not be public calamity by
any means if such shall be the result Of the
winters work in Washington. Both parties
have corrupt and effete leaders, men who
have lost their hold on national ideas, who
do not any longer think as the people think,
and who are careless of the public good. 1t
is a good time to bring forward new men,
and possibly the contending party leaders
who will be assembled in Washington this
winter can do no greater public service than
to exhibit each others ineficiency and un-
trustworthiness.

/ without its tale Of horror atrocity
and despair We have to look into the
/ far West among the unreasoning, savage
/ Sioux, TO find counterpart for the war IN
4 Cuba In the interest of humanity it should
I come to an end, no matter which side was
I victorious. But we do not soc how there can
Y be any doubt as to the victory. The Cuban
Revolution has lived as long as our American
Revolution, and although the English King
was stiff -necked, like Pharaoh, and would
not let the people so, in the end his pride
suddenly crumbled and he unloosed his
grasp Sooner or later Spain must follow
this example How much General Grant
can do toward encouraging this action it
would be in vain to speculate The Span
iards, proud beyond belief as q people,
are peculiarly sensitive as to Cuba 1t is the
last valuable remnant of that empire in
America which was the glory of Philip and
Charles, the last memento of the age when
the will Of a Spanish king was omnipotent
on two continents, and when the language
of Cervantes almost encircled the globe.
Cuba is to the Spaniards what the ark of the
covenant was to the children of Israel, and
woe to the unclean alien hand that dares to
touch it,


Altogether the question assumes a new
difficulty at every step. We do not contem-
plate the contingency of war. That would
be a wanton undertaking, an act of moral
treason, especially in year that is to base
its glory in Centennial Exhibition There
are no reasons for war now outside of the
Presidents ambition and the necessity of
the party-certainly no reason that has not
been operative for at least seven years. If
the administration can do anything in the way
Of diplomacy to compel Spain to emancipate
the slaves in Cuba or grant independence to
the island the country will be pleased. But
it is well to watch with suspicious eyes every
movement the President makes toward Cuba,
knowing what is possible to Chief Magis-
trate familiar with war, knowing the strange
power Of war over the passions and judg-
ments Of people, and not above appealing
to that awful arbiter if he can in any way
serve his ambition or his fame.

some attributed to the railroad authorities.

unfit for use and dangerous, the parties re-
sponsiblc should be held to q strict account

RECORDER HAcKETT ON THE PURITY OF
ELECTIONS. In charging the Grand Jury OF
the General Sessions yesterday Recorder
Hackett laid especial but not too great stress
on the importance of preserving the purity
Of the ballot box by promptly and unspar-
ingly Furnishing all offences against the cleo
ton laws. ''He who robs the charity box OF
a church" says the Recorder, lis infinitely
less a criminal than the voter or inspector
who designedly robs the elective franchise" !"
The Recorders charge is timely, and it is to
be hoped that it will deter many who con-
template such an offence from carrying out
their Intentions. No doubt a great deal Of
illegal voting is unavoidable, but the Re-
corder's warning words will do much good,
and any offenders against the election laws
will be sure to meet severe punishment if
their cases should come before the Court over
which Judge Hackett presides.

There is a comfort in knowing that we are
now at the end Of the campaign; that the fury
is spent; that this time of defamation and
calumny and misrepresentation is over. To-
day the citizens Of New York will decide
between the tickets which have been pre-
sented by the different conventions. The
general thought in the minds of all patriotic
men will be that these tickets are as a gen.
eral thing, composed Of good men. We do
not remember when both parties seemed to
strive to present unexceptionable candidates
as earnestly as during this canvass. The
effect of a reform movement upon our
politics is seen in this fact So far
as the mere men on the two tickets
are concerned citizen will have little hest
tation in voting with his party, because he
will vote for good officers. The question has
not been as to the merits Of the tickets, that
having been conceded from the first, but as
to the one man power of Mr.. Kelly represent
ing great political organization, and second
rs to the furious attacks upon Recorder
Hackett and Mr. Phelps, whom it is proposed
to drive from Office because the former would
not become the vassal Of political dictator.
This question really will decide the election
to-day. In doing SO it will decide to large
extent the influence Of the democratic
party Of New York upon the dem
ocratic party Of the country during
the next canvass As was shown in the
campaign Of Mr.. Greeley against General
Grant, the Tammany influence was the
heaviest burden he had to bear. Even the
democratic party throughout the country,
who would gladly enough have supported
Mr.. Greeley because of his high personal
character and the assurance that he would
have made an honorable and fair-minded
President, rebelled against candidate who
was largely under the control of secret po-
litical order. Therefore, if we wished i'll to
the democratic party in the next canvass for
the President, which we do not we could
desire nothing more than the success Of Tam
many to-day. # John Kelly proves him
self to be master OF New York at
the close Of the polls, that fact alone
will cost the democratic party thousands
Of votes throughout the whole nation
This is largely owing to the folly Of Mr.. Kelly
himself He had the campaign in his own
hand until within few weeks. He had it
in his power to have reformed the democracy,
reorganizing it upon the principles of free
dom Of thought and independence Of action,
embodying in its platform the glorious doc
trine laid down by Douglas Of popular
sovereignty. These are the misfortunes Of the
canvass thus far. The leaders have given us
an active fight they have excited the pas
sions Of our political leaders to high pitch !;
they have engendered much i'll feeling but
it is all over now. Our advice to citizens is,
to keep cool, to vote early, vote for the best
men upon the ticket, and whatever the result
may be- accept it as an expression Of the will
Of tie people.
