After walting for a number ol years; antil she was 32 years of age, BuzzELL, mm:tell—wdo farmer, married another woman. Miss Haxsos, who was universally od, subsequently instituted suit for presthof promise of marriage, and the night pefore the case was to be tried she was shot sod fostantly killed while sittivg near an open indow with her mother, sister and, brother. Saspicion sttached to BuzzeLL, who in time was Indicted and tried. The testimony was ex- odively circumstantial, and, though strong, was fosufficient toconvict, and e was acquitted. ‘Liter the trial there happened a series 3 burn- jpgs of bars and other property of various ons who had been witnesses against Buz- 7z on the murder trial. In course of ime suspicion attached to BozzeLn; snd & young man named Coog, who been raised by BuzzELL, has at last ‘peen Jim] confessed to the whole business, including the | murder of Miss Hassox. The youth was a dependent, and under his absolute control. On the night of the murder BuzzeLL took Coox with him to Miss Haxsox's house, and, looking throngh the window, they saw the family. ‘Bz, placed the muzzle of the loaded zun onthe window and told CoOk to shoot. Ie ised to pay Cook $500 if he killed Miss Tissos, and toreatened to kill him {f he did pot. COOE took the gun and “fired it, killing {he lady Instantly. On the murder trial Coox s compelled to swear to an alibi in bebaf of Brzzuus. This disclosure is confirmed by the drcomstances established on the trial. BuozzeLy, ‘Bowever, has been acquitted of the murder, and caonot be tried azain. It is possiole that his pupisbioent for the arson may be eked out so 2¢1n some degree to punish him for his coward- Iy and croel marder. j ———————— There should bean effort made under the (Geneva Conventicn, or the Treaty of Paris, or somethinz of the sort, to have the combatants in the Eastern war “localize ™ their conflict ina nmanner less exasperating to American readers. For instance, let them agree to call the places byreasonsble Christian names, as Troy, Dan- bury, Baldwinsville, Cohoes, Bungtown, and the lik, and desigpate the Generals by more familiar titles, as SMITH, PERRINS, BREWSTER, and soon. If this can’t be done, resort may be- 4 w code signals, such as are employed by the merchant marine of all nations, and tele- be trammitted to all parts of the uni- yerse to say that the Russians, under 182,765, sre sdvancing on ACNTMC, while the Turks, 938,657 having superseded 3855.296-in command, are falling back upon DPCFTL wiNQLSPB. If some such arrangement ss this could be effected -and carried’ out, war wonld be robbed of many of its horrors for the innocent non-combatant reader, who is now one of the principal sufferers. — Beveral hundred night-editors have heard with s groan that the Poles are thinking of tak- iog a hand in the European unpleasantuess. That s all that is needed to complete the con- fosion. Just fancy that, while TOOTROKOPLTS Pasmi is holding the line of the Xcsvlw River, from Tebignuv to the Serbian frontier opposite Schukmol, his antagonist, Gen. MIGSVALENKA- Tzrrsky, who is confronting him with the regi- ments of Petropaulovski and Ekaterinoslav and awaiting relnforcements being. brought up from Plookti by Col.

There is great concern to hear what Mr. ‘Wade will say of Senator Christlancy’s statement that the terms ‘*Democrat™ and **Republican are ‘‘abstract designations™ and *‘ metaphysical entities.” The Boston Herald has seen the “ Gontle- man™ in politics sometimes, but the **Lady™ never;and it fears Gail Lamilton will not fill the BAll in the last particular. It is said that Admiral Hobart Pasha has gold ont hisrank inthe English navy, so that the 1058 of incdme reeulting from the late action of the Government will fall upon innocent holders. Gladstone has full sympathy with tho So- clety for the Protection of Animals Liable to Vivi- scction, but his hardly timeto ssy so. Hedid manage, however, to write a note to this effect to the last general meeting of the Society. The New York Legislature has passed a blll deOning just what a dozen eges should weigh. But the Zribune eays the bill regulating the size of spring chickens aud the complexion of the early squash still sticks in the Committee on Grievances. ¢ 'The postponement of the extira session,” says the Natton, ** will give satisfaction {to every- body but the members who meditate speeches on *Hayes' policy,’ and the Washington hotel-keep- ers.” Odd epecches those will be! Lut the Nation always did have a noble scorn of syntax. In a private note concerning the unveiling f the Fitz-Greene Halleck statue in Central Park, Mr. J. G. Whittier incidentally said: **I belleve the Preeident is right. 1le could not do otherwise than withdraw the troops, and I think time will prove that the negrowill be all the better for it.™ The letter of Ben Butler to the Postmas- ter-General regarding the remosal of G. Il. Batler is generally regarded as a disingenvonstrick. **No- body but Gen. Butler,” says the Evening Post, **wonid bave tried to put into Mr. Key's mouth an excuse which he never made fora correction of & ‘mistake which needs no excuse at all.” The conditions upon which ** The Modern Symposium “"—the serial article now appearing in the Ninefeenth Century—is printed, ure that each writer shall bave the privilege of sceing all that has appeared before his own remarks, bat (except the first, who Is to sum up at the end,) nothing that follows them. As soonas the article is fin- ished it will be published in o small volume. The Pittsburg Gazelte reports the denth in Montgomery County, that State, of Richard Con- rad, an Irish patriot who fouzht in the Rebellion of 1795, and subsequently jomed the British army, ecttlingin America in 1812 Mc lived until his 110th Fear. and died only last Satnrday. Daring the delirfum of his last illness he imagined that he was onc of Lord Fitzgerald's soldiers, and scemed to recoznize his compantons in arms. The chief distinct characteristic of Tenny- son’s genius, according to Mr. Dayard Taylor's ar- ticle 1n the same number of the Jnlernational, is ** an exquisitely luxnrions sensc of the charms of sound and rhythm, based upon an carncst if not equal capacity for.sober thought and_reflection.” Thin senee of ** luxury in words ™ is discernible in everything he has written, and becomes the uncon- scions ronrce of his chief defect—viz., & 100 great attention to detail. Friends of Harvard University are now buslly enraged in refuting the standers invented by the New York partisans of Yale. The gravest charge of allis that Harvard furnished a liberal support to Soldene. The Loston Globe declares that the Harvard students who disgraced them- selves by their behavior at the Soldene perform- ances probably did not exceed a dozen in pumber. and were not distinguished by thelr condact or bearing from other young men who attend enter- tanments of this description in Boston or cee- where. Mr. Edmond About calls attention to the fact that ihree doctors in Paris have lately fallen victims to their devotion, and there is no talk of granting a pension to their bereaved families. On the other hand, the Government has jnst inscribed the name of M. Simonnel in the Great Book of the National Debt for a life-pension. His duties under the Empire were to open and close important Jetters passing through the Post-Office. M. Simon- nel was a fanctionary whose existence was denfed twenty times by the Postmaster-General under the Empire. A number of prominent men and women of Boston are intcrested in a project for the form- ‘| ing of & children’s protective society for the rescnc of children from abuse and cruelty, and to insure to them their educational rights. The first meeting was held Wednesday, and among the sigaers of the call were Heary W. Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, Richurd 1. Dana, Jr., Phitlips Brooks, James Freeman Clarke, ex-Gov. Gaston, and Lydia Maria Child. After a long discussion. in which varions plans were proposed, a committee, with Phillips Brooks as Chairman, was appointed for the further consideration of the matter. ¢ Saxe-Holm,” the admirable story-writer, is pretty well known now as Helen Iant; but various claimants to the nom de plume continae to turn up inall parts of the country. The newest ie Miss Alma Calder, 30 years old, danghterofa retired minister in Wayne County, Pennsyivania, possessor of intellectual gifts and attractions and a frequent contributor to the magazines. Asher name never appears in any of these, the inference is irresistible that she uses a nom de plume,—an al- ternative that eome of us would like to adopt if it were feasible and our friends as credulous as peo- pie ecem to be in Wayne Coanty, Penneylvania. A few weeks before his death, Mr. W. L Robinson (**Warrington ") eaid to his wife: *‘Itis curions how the belfef in the the immortality of the soul grows upon you. -As I have been sitting here day after day it has come to me; and Iam sure of it,—as sure of it, and of living again. as I am that Iam here,—more gure; for I don't know half the ttme whether I am here in the body or not. It is just like going into afiother room,—into that Toom™ (pointing to theopen parlor door near him). +*Why, this world and the next are joined as close- Iyasmy two hauds,” opening thom and placing them together, one above the other, with palms reversed; ‘‘there they are,—no break, no break between, no rulf to pass. I feel every day like one who walks by ahedge, and is looking fora zate, agap to go through, to walkon the other “gide.” The opera-troups now performing in San Francisco is without the services of Kellozz. When one of the company was asked why Kellpzg didn't go with the troupe, he answered: **We didn't want to have her come.” The gricvance against her is that she had too keen an cye to business. When affairs went swimmingly, she was ready to bear her share of the financial reeponstbility; when they went ill, she invariably drew her feminine shoul- ders from under the burdenand inslated on her $350 pernight. It is sald that Mr. IMessand others of the organization have paid her Indirectly $100,000 during the Jast thrce yoars. She always insisted on having the other members of the company sing at her benefits, and wonld never singat anybody clse's benefit without being paid for it. The mem- bersof tue company complain also becauso Kel- logg, althongh she is not engaged to appear in San Francisco until September, has permitted her manager to hang her picturesin the shop-windows, and thus interfere with the success of the present season there. Charles W. Cook, of Farmington, Mass., has recently made confession of the Kiling of Susan J. Hanson, at Brookfleld, N. H., in Novem- ber, 1674. The crime is one of tho most savago and bratal ever known even in New England, which has achieved n reputation in this respect. The kill- ing was done on the promise of $500 reward from Joseph B. Buzzell, farmer of means and reput- ed reapectability, a former suitor of Miss Hanson's, and defendant at the time in a breach-of-promise emt brought by her. She was 3% years old, and ‘had been engaged to Bozzell from her 20th year. e postponed the marriage many times, and then, 10 everybody’s surprise, married another woman. At the urgent solicitation of her friends, ghe con- sented to institute & suit for breach-of-promise of marriage. The night beforethe first hearing of the case the plaintiff was killed by a gun-shot fired throngh the window of her house at night, while she was sitting in ber kitchen with her mother, brother. and nephes. Bozzell was arrcsted, bat the evidence was mot suficient to convict him. Two years afterwards suspicion was again aroused by the burning of farm buildings belonging to sev- eral persons who had teatified agoinst him on the trial. Detectives were put at work, young Cook, who had becn his hired man, was shadowed, and a confession was at last obtained. Itwill be dificult to try Bozzell a second time on a chargeof murder, but there scems o, be a stern conviction in the neighborhood that he will get lus deserts, one way or the other. . UP THE COLORADO. The Mining, Farming, and Grazing In- terests of Northwestern Ari- zona. Good Indians Who Have Turned Their Scalping-Knives Into Sickles. How the Pioneer Arizonian ‘ Adapts Himself to Cir- cumstances. Our Correspondent's Visit to the Cele- brated McOracken Mining District, Other Noted Mines in Mohave County. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Ausrey, A. T., April 30.—From Ehrenburg to this point, distant about 150 miles, the scen- ery isabout the same as between Ehrenburg and Yuma, but from here north the river valley, is narrower and huge mountains encompass the stream at cvery turn, affording some of the erandest scenery on this continent. Some 300 miles above Aubrey begins the Grand Canon of the Colorado so loudly praised for its grandeur Dy Licut, Wheeler and Maj. Powell, who were among the first whites to explore its wild re- cesses. ‘While the nature of the country hereabousis quite similar tothat around Ehrenburs, 1 should judge there hag beca more done here than at the Iatter place to develop ts azricultural prospects. We passed namerous ranches on the Arizona side, where quite extensive and seemingly thrifty furms have been started. It is not the growing season now, and, of course, I could not judge of the farms from their products, but in a few weeks the landscape wiil change from brown to green, when the broad valley will present a more pleasing picture. Farmers find s ready market here for everything they may raisc at very high prices. ‘The Indians on their reserva- . just south of Aubrey grow considerable quanti- Ues of barley, corn, and other produce, nd they bave been enterprising enough to cut AN IRRIGATING DITCH through their reservation for scveral miles, tak- ing the water from the river at a point where some islands form a kind of. natural dam.' Tney arc thusto agreat extent independent of the river overflow, and frequently grow two crops a year on the same grouud, one_before the inun- dation and onc after. They have considerable berds of cattle, I never saw better-looking, fatter stock anywhere, aithough it would not seem possible for cattle to subsist on the meagre herbaze to be found on the river-botiom at the present time. But they do live the year round on these barren-looking plains, and keep fat. There is a kind of grass which springs up quickly after the subsidence of the river, of which stock arevery fond. Duringthefallit cures onthestalk, ana cavtie prefer it to any other food. They also eat the beans, which grow in great numbers on the mesquit bushes. Theyare very nutritious. STOCK RAISING saems to be especially adapted to this section of the Territory. At present it is quite profit- able, for the ¢xpense of caring for a herd is comparatively nothing, Stabl.s are-not nceded. All that is required is a corral in which to con- fine_the herd at nizht. Even houses for the herdsmen are not absolutely nccessary. It seldom or never rains, and the mercury in the thermometer never reaches freezing point in the valley. On the mountains one may select a temperature to suit himselfl. People live out of ‘doors in this country almost - al- together. One’s blanket is his house and bed. The true Arizonian _spreads it upon the ground wherever mizht hapoens t0 overtake him, and slceps as sweetly asthough he were in a_feather-bed. Such trifling hin- drances 8s sand-storms, rattlesnakes, scorplons, tarantulas, and centipedes, do not disturb his repose. If it blows, he rolls his head closer in the blanket and lets it blow, indifferent to the fact (which sometimes happens) that around about him is forming a miniature sandhill. The sand-storms clear the air and diffuse electricity through the atmospnere. They act as a kind of tonic on the human system, filling one with life and animation. The stories of Arizona reptiles are grossly exageerated. There are some, to be sare, but, like other animals, if let alone they are harmlcss. During my travels of some 1,200 ‘miles through the Territory I have failed to sec either of the reptiles above mentioned, though I Thave been constantly looking for them. The most noted mines hercabout are those in the McCracken and Hualapias districts. THE M’CRACKEN lead bas been worked since 1875, It was dis- covered by MeCracken & Owens, who deeded to the McCracken Company the south half of the Jead, and totne Signal Company the northhalf. This lead crops out for a distance of 6,000 feet, with an average width of thirty fect, and is prospected to a depthof 375 feet. “At the depth of feet the lead is forty-seven feet in width. ‘The course of the vein is north and south, dip- ping to the east, with splendid walls and clay seams between the quat the walls_showing every indication of a true fissure vein. Itis afree milling ore, worked by wet crushing. It yields mostly pure silver, with; however, a little lead. The McCracken Company has 3,000 tons of ore on the dump and kunocked down in the drifts and shafts that wiil nssn§ $85 per ton, and will work to within 15 per cent of lts assay value. This may be considered an a"‘eragc, but four fect of the ledge assays all the way from 3900 to $G,000 to the ton. The McCracken Company has an old ten-stamp mill on the Big Sandy, about eleven miles from the mine, wlr.% which they produce an’ average of $30,000 bullion per month, giving, it is claimed, a net profit of $14,000 per month, working twenty-two-tons per day. They are preparingto put in’a new twenty-stamp mill. TILE SIGNAL MINING COMPANY is an outgrowth of the mew era in Arizona mining. It was organized in San Franciscoa few weeks since with a capital of $10,000,000, divided into 100,000 sharcs, of which Col. Thomas Ewing, ex-Gov. Safford, aud William N. Leet, of Arizona, and J. D. Frey and A. K. P. Harrison, of San Francisco, arc the sole owners. They have Purchascd a new twenty- stamp mitl, which will be roon in operation. The Signalisprospected1501cet. Ithasthesame body of ore as the McCracken. They expect tocrnsh forty to tifty tons per day, and they calculate that the cost of milling and reducing their ores will not exceed $17 per ton, leaving a net profit of $50 to $55 per ton. Miners' wages are $4 per day. The mincis only twenty-eight miles from this place. One advantage the miners in this district have 15 in the abandance of timber near by. Mesquit, ironwood, and cottonwood are found in large quantities in the mountains. There are a great many OTHER PROMISING PROSPECTS in this district, amon§ others the Buro, Centen- nial, and Alta, which are o doubt as good property as the McCracken, and which a_live man with capital can pick up cheaply. There ulte 3 number of minmg men and are capitalists’ agents in. herc looking around, the same as in the other districts 1 have visited. The old miners andsettlers who have sEznl vears in these mountains, firm in the faith that the value of their mining and agricul- tural resources would be recogmized eventually by the outside world, feel greatly encouraged since the completion of the railroad to the river, which gives themn quick connection with San Francisco and the East. 1 cannot begin to mention all the mines in this region which have come into notoricty of late, nor is it desirable.. I desizn only to speak of the mining intercst of the Territory in gen- eral terms, particularizing ouly as to the mines which have attaincd greatest prominence. If any one wishes more especial information, the best way would be for him to come and see for himself, which he can now easily do, for the trip to_Arizona Is robbed of its terrors and fatigue. 1 have- been careful not 1o over-statc the prospects which all the hills and mountains abundantly show, and I fecl certain that at the same stage of developmant even the Nevada mines did not give evidence of such enormous riches. . Next to the McCracken, the mine most talked about in this region is THE HACKBERRY, in the Huatapais district, about a hundred miles north of Aubrey. It yields a high grade, rebell- jous ore,. requiring roasting to reduce ft. It assays from $100 to $3.000 perton. Ithad a ten-stamp mill, which burnt down a few months ago, but another is purchased and on the way, to be set up soon. Mineral Park is in this district. Itis the county scat of Mohave County, and isa floyrishing Iittle place, sur- rounded by mountalns, which are filled with rich prospects. Cerbat, scven miles north of Mineral Park, has a ten-stamp mill, which is run- ning and aoing well. There are a large number of Iocations in the neighborhood, many of themn ery fiattering. Cedar District, to the south of Hualapals, and the Silver-Glance Mine, in.the same locality, are_attracting a considerable at- tention of Jate. The Iatter is owned in Boston. It yields silver and copper ore, very hizh grade, assaying from $800 per ton, but it has to be smelt . AUBRET, where I mail this letter, is an important land- ing. Large quantities of freight are shipped rrgm herruglnto the interior, and all the bu‘l’ ion of the McCracken and neighboring mines comes this way en route to the ratlroad.” It is a place of about 200 inhabitants. Farther north about 100 miles is Hardyville, the present head of nav- igation, a place of about the same size. A few miles south of Mardyville is Camp .Mohave, where several companiesof United States troops are stationed to watch the Indians; bot that is hardly necessary now, for the Indians of this portion of the Territory are peaceably Inelined, and quite incustriou v YGLES1AS. e ———— _THE SEWING-MACHINE SHARKS, ‘The Vigorous Manner in Which the Chicago Organization Assisted in Their Final Dis- comfiture---ITow the Wilson Company Has Again Proved Its Sterling Worth——A Com- pany which Hated Monopolists and Alded Largoely in Estirpating Them, One great sewing-machine company has at all times in the past assafled the monopolists, and has ever been practically in favor of low prices. The Wilson Company of Chicago, headed by its President, Mr. W. G. Wilson, has always fiatly refused to enter into any combination for up- holding prices. Mr. Wilson’s own exertions are admitted on aul sides to have been largely in- strumental in preventing any further fraudulent extension of patents, aud he goes upon record as the chief ring demolisher. "Of course the rout of the extortionists redounds to the Wilson Company’s advantage. The latter organization now ha¢, in addition to its peerless machines and immense capital, the prestige of having forever broken up the high-priced monopoly. The Wilson Company wi continue fo sell Its admirably-made machines at the lowest of rates, and it will cost no more to buy a matchless * Wilson ”” than is asked for the shoddy-built, uncouth concerns made by other manufacturers. The Company will also continue to be the friend of the poor, and the workwoman who must have a machine will, as in the past, be afforded an opportunity to buy, and make her payments in light stated insm{l- ments. Machines will also be sold on credit to responsible partics. No rascally _canvassors have ever been known to be allowed to handle the Wilson machines; only men of character being permitted to solicit for this company. It is a credit to Chicago that onc of her largest industries should have been 8o instru- mental in banging to pieces the giant monopo- 1y of the century. . K ———— ITEMS OF INTEREST.

CATARRH REMED) CATARREL What it is and what cures it. In the summer of 1860, assisted by Prof. Carney. of Boston, one of the most distingmished chemiats and microscopistsin. thin country, I made a chemical and microscopic snalysis aad examination of the blood of ONE TUNDRED persons suffering with Catarrh, and in every fnstance I found certain elements pertaining to healthy blood deficient. To know what those elements are and how to supply them in the same . relative proportions in which they existin the blood of the heullr; subject is what comprises the suc- cessfal treatment of the disease in question.
