Fifty vears aero The London Morning Chronicle published a poem entitled as above, which excited much attention, Every effort, even to the offering of a re ward of fifty guineas, was vainly made to discover the author. All that ever tran spired was, that the poem, in a fair, clerk ly hand, was lound near a süeieton oi re markable beauty of form and color, in the museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lincoln's inn, ijondon, ana mat tne curat or of the museum had them sent to Mr. Perry, of The Morning Chronicle. Behold tliis ruin ! 'Twas a skull, )nce of ethereal spirit full; This narrow cell was life's retreat. This space was thought's m ystcrious seat; W hat beauteous visions tilled this spot! What dreams of pleasure long forgot! Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear, Have left one trace of the record here. Beneath this mouldering canopy Once shone the bright and busy eye; But start not at the dismal void, If social love that eye employed, If with no lawless tire it gleamed, But through the dew of kindness beam ed, That eye shall be forever bright, When sun and sfars are sunk in night. Within this hollow cavern hung The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue. If falsehood's honey it disdained. And when it could not praise, was chain ed ; If bold in virtue's cause it spoke, Yet gentle concord never broke, This silent tongue shall plead for thee, When time unvails eternity. Say, did those fingers delve the mine? Or with its envied rubies shine? To hew tiie rock or wear the gem Can little now avail to them. But if the page of truth they sought, Or comfort to the mourner brought, These hands a richer meed shall claim Than all that wait on wealth or fame. Avails it whether, bare or shod, These feet the path of dutv trod? If from the halls of ease they fled To seek affliction's humble s'hed; If grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned, And home to virtue's cot returned. These feet with angel's wings shall vie, And tread the palace of the sky. Mohave Countj". The í olio wing is taken from a private letter dated Mineral Park, November 4 : Robt. Steene, the purchaser of the Kcv- stone, has returned and is engaged in "sinking" the mine. He has three shifts and works night and day. progressing a! the rate of two feet per day. I am unable to say much regarding the showing. The ledge between walls is near four feet. They appear to average a ton or more per day of uie, the value of which I am unable even to estimate. Hie "63," near Cerbat, is turning out excel lent ore. The last ship ment worked 000, in San Francisco, steene does not intend to ship any ore. He says he will go to the depth oí' 150 feet, and if the prospect will warrant, he will have his ore worked here. I cannot say whether he is able to procure a mill to work his ore, but he relies either upon procuring one himself or that some one will erect it in the event of his mine showing well. J. W. Munn, formerly part owner and superintendent of the "Lone Star," lias returned from California. He was hard pressed, financially, and was obliged to hypothecate 1500 shares of his stock. He brought back money to redeem his stock, and I understand is "fixed" to resume work on the mine. Rev. G. A. Roedor has spent the past week at the Park, giving a discourse each evening. We feel very grateful to Judge Tweed for holding Court for us. The Judge would not take up the county seat case, so the matter stands as before awaiting Judge Porter's act ion. J in í ge Tweed made a most favorable impression. This morning n.o.ií, daylight, after a blast, a vo!:iue of water came into the Keystone, ri tig six loot almost instantly. Four men v. i;h double track and two 15- allon buckets have onlv reduced the amount four inches at 10 o'clock this morning. Yavapai County. Condensed from The Miner of Nov. 8. The Vulture mine and mill may be put in paying shape again. J. D. Cusc-nbary, a former superintendent of the old company, is now in the Territory, endeavoring to settle ancient debts and to get the property ready for European capitalists, who' pro pose to laKe uoia ana worn it as it should oe. The quartz and placer miners are hard at work in Weaver and Walnut Grove districts. In the latter, Henry & Smith are wo king Rainbow ore in prrr.strars C. B. Getting is working ore from the Mont- omery; Mr. Louteria is crushing out of lie Providencia, and all with paving re sults. Goodwin & McKinnon. of Eradshaw. on Saturday last, searched the bottoms of their two arrastrars and found twelve hun dred dollars in splendid gold the product of eight tons of War Eagle ore. On Upper Lynx Creek, ShcKon and others are sinking on their lodes and working the quartz, while placer miners are making very fair wages. It is said that J. W. Swilling and others will soon construct arrastrars on Black Canyon creek, with which they design working ores from some ledges in that vicinity. We are called upon to announce the death of A. C. Williamson, which occurred in Prescott Tuesday, November 4, 1ST?, and was occasioned by the existence in his right breast of a very large tumor. Mr. Williamson was a good citizen, honestand straightforward in all his dealings; was a faithful friend, and a pleasant, genial com panion. A man at a hotel found a lady's night gown in his room, it having been left by the previous occupant. He went to the clerk with it, saying: " Look 'a here, Mr., this is a hollow mockery, a delusion and a snare. If you can't fill it up, I don't want the darned thing in my room."

The Dutch Once 3Iore The Smart ness of Printers The Steamer Ohio The Financial Situation- American Bad Roads and Weath er "Go West," or Back to Vien na -"What is Wheat Worth- Abroad t" Wooster, Ohio, October 31. This is the last day of the great shov at Vienna,, and the first opportunity I've had to say a part ing word to it; which word is rather forced upon me by your apology of Oct. 11, for at tempting to know more about Vienna than I did who " had been thar." There is no one more aware of the mechanical beauties of my manuscript than myself, hence if you follow my spelling right through, you will not be far wrong. I am also aware that the Dutch language is noi a favorite of mine, but your attempt to improve upon my rendering of it in the same number oí ihe citizen, satisfies me that you had better let me entirely alone. Your blunder about the great " Ringstrasse " (circular street), is outdone by trying to engrait upon the Dutch a mixt ure of French and African l-.nglish wrote plainly enough : " Der Weltausstell- ung," (the universal exhibition.) You left off the r, and hence "De Weltausstolluug which is enough to cause a Frenchman to declare war against all the Dutch ex tant, and make our colored brethren hold an indignation meeting. If Sam Eostick, tne barber ol meson, don't cut the throats oi both proprietor and printer or IHk Cit izen, then I am as ready to damn him as I am the Dutch. Printers and publishers are a very smart set; I have known sever al oeiore. it enrist were to sena clown a new commentary on the New Testament, you would, ring some cnange or otner on his siielling. punctuation or what not : and if the devil were to send you an account of a big thing on brimstone, you would all swear that he had no business to know anything at all about hell outside of Ari zona. The most representative feature of Amer ican industry and enterprise at Vienna, outside of pumps and a big map of the Nortnern l'acinc itauroad, was a youns man with a case of type and small ma: chine press. I should say his name was v m. h. Stewart. He was something of a god-send to me there, and lager beer suffer ed wnenever we met. lie was tnere in tne interest of the " American Youth Publish ing Company," and printed a little paper of that name; and the big Dutchmen were much astonished thereat, for newspaper printing in Austria is small potatoes as yet. Speaking of beer, I did not tell you enough about the article made at Vienna. In brief then, there is no beer outside of Vienna, For the best of beer and brass bands, Vienna leaves all the world far be hind. My existence there depended en tirely on those two things, and I feel a longing to get back there again I think now, in view of the beastly roads here and bad weather, I coiud somenow right :t out against the Dutch and the devil through all eternity, by having plenty of Vienna beer at all times, iou speak in that pa per of levm Knowing "now to run a brewery." I remember tnat Dutchman: a good enough fellow, and perhaps makes as good beer as any man in the United States. Moreover, I do not wish to injure his business in the least. But it behooves me, as an honest " looker-on in Vienna," to add that L. don't know hovr to run a brewery; don't know what good beer is, unless he nas "oeeiiyar" ami grown up in the only simon pure lager beer school. Then there is a good deal in what the Eng lishman says of the Americans on the question of beer "They 'avn't got the ops." American lacues at icrma wilt bear me out m this opinion of that re markable article of food and raiment. In Summer time they swim and sleep in it. It has been snowing and raining for two weeks here, ami altogether tne roads are as bad as possible and in such horrible contrast with Europe generally that I would like to be back in Italy for instance. The Appian Way of historic interest at Rome, buiit 2000 years ago, and yet in use. is yet a better road than any in America. It is ine oiu siory me ii;i.-cisiiij uur.ai piness of man as iie grows older, whether a traveler or stay-at homo. The old folks here have no desire at all apparently to ibandon this enmate ana muaay nigii vavs for anything claimed for the other side of Jordan. Ah, but how they do like to go on accumulating moro land and beeves, as Falstaff would say! But I was essentially nonplussed dried up and dis gusted over all my budget of European knowledge by one oi my country cousins (bv marriage) night before last. His wife did most of the talking, and confined her self very well to the average questions put to a " tourist," but finahy she hesitated a little and her bettor-half came to her re lief. But as before said, it laid me on the shelf. He asked me "what wheat was worth " over 1 here? He certainly knew that I didn't take any wheat away with me hadn't a seed to sell abroad? As soon as I get recruited np on cider and apples, I will " go west." The dough-nut era does not set in till after butchering some weeks hence. I ask myself, in presence of these good people what in thunder is the use of going to Europe? The newspapers most all publish the market reports local and general, so that there was no use of asking the above conundrum at all. And now that I know how it is and what it all amounts to, I say to all concerned don't go to Europe, but go west. And that also reminds me of how I man aged to get this far along, considering that I was lolling about the city of Cork, Ire land at last accounts. It took us three days to make the steamer Ohio, of the American line, stronger than she was be fore; so that when wo started a second time and being favored by good weather, the ship made a notable passage nine days and five hours between Queenstown and Cape May. The Egypt of the Nation al line, had the start of us several hours, and she did not reach New York as soon as we got to Philadelphia. The company evidently will make it stick as well as money, and who knows but this quiet en terprise of the Quaker city will yet revolu tionize shipping interests in the United States? The Pacific Mail folk-i are having three large iron propellers .milt on the Delaware, and altogether these American built vessels bid fair to split the Clyde bus iness in two soon enough. It is the expec tation, if not yet deliberate intention, to construct two additional steamers to those of the Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois two larger and very fast 6hips, so that the company will be enabled to make first-class weekly trips to Liverpool The , stock of the company is largely subscribed to by the people of Philadelphia in gener al, though what they lack the Pennsylvan ia nanroaa company is good lor. And that brings me down to another question the late or pending financial disturbance. Col. Scott came home to find further unpleasantness, I think I told . you what he told me about the Texas Pa cific bonds? That he had ten millions ne gotiated at a good pr;ce. but before the pa. pers were signed the. Cooke -& Co. collapse came along by cable, and Scott said to " wait a day or two." Well, at last ac counts, that day or two was still too much The day was set to meet in Paris for the final act, but "hence these tears." Scott tooK trie case philosophically, playing eu chre with his usual spirit, luck and skill apparently feeling that he would do some- thingtogeteven as soon as ashore. He de veloped into the good graces of all on í )i : V ' ia '1 Til r.'t '-trt hn I'll, Qmimrr ri and it was only characteristic of human nature perfiaps that while he was gone and during the crash, half a dozen persons whom he took out of the gutter and help ed to wealth and position, did all they could to stab him in the back. So he must, have felt sort of wolfish the beginning of tne present ween, now tnings are or will be, remains to be learned. Pennsylvania Central stock shrunk about fifteen per cum,., arm on jionuay greenbacks were so scarce that I had to take checks on the best bank in Philadelphia for the little balance due on my letter of credit. I do not understand the great question of nuance, uui, someining is evidently more or less rotten outside of Denmark. Wad my letter been on Jay Cooke & Co., as I was recommended at first, I would now be in the little republic of Switzerland wait ing for something to turn up; perhaps in Byron's prison of Chillón.

When the proposition to celebrate the first centennial anniversary of American Independence by a grand international Exposition of arts, industry, and science, was urst oroacneu, grave tears were ex pressed, in view of the general ill success which previous undertakings of this char acter have met with, that, instead of draw ing tne attention ot the world to the won lerful progress which has attended our Hundred year's lile as a nation, we should make ourselves ridiculous by adding more to the list of failures in this line. Whether or not such fears have now vanished, they ought, at least, not to cause us to divide our energies in the work which has now proceeded so far that to abandon it would be itself a disgrace. 1 here is no inherent reason why this kind of enterprise should not be successful. In every instance of ianure wnicn nas Heretofore occurred, the result can be traced to defective or dishon est management. The integrity and ability of the men to wnom nas oeen connned the management of our great Exposition furnish powerful assurance mat uie utmost care and dil igence will be used to guard against dis honest or unwise practices. General J. R. Hawley, the Chairman of the Centennial Commission, is known all over the coun try as one ot the most incorruptible men in public life a thoroughly patriotic and public spirited citizen. The names of the gentlemen comprising the Centennial Board of I manee, though some of them are not widely known, are household words among their fellow-citizens, and are vouched for as men of the highest integ rity and capacity. Several of them are able to give nearly the whole of their time to the great task they have undertaken, and will not be sparing of their own re sources to insure success. Pennsylvania has herself advanced three and a half mil lions of tioilars of the fund necessary, and promises to increase hr r siiare to at least four millions. It deserves to be said in favor of this enterprise that, unlike so many other great schemes formed nowa days, it has no savor of jobbery about it. All who contribute towards carrying it for ward have a voice in tho management of the funds in proportion to the amount of their contribution. It is not proposed to impose taxes upon tho people to further the project, but to let each man say for himself whether he believes it to be feasi ble and is willing to aid in carrying it out. A State Committee has been appointed to secure the co-operation of California. The names of the gentlemen on this com mittee are well chosen. They will do their work faithfully and honestly. California has a strong interest in doing her share, for the Exposition will afford her a rare op portunity of displaying to the world her marvelous capacities and resources. We bespeak a generous response to the appeal of the Committee lor subscriptions. r.IIiitary News. A general court-martial convened at Mc Dowell last Monday, with Col. J. II. Nel son President, and Lieut. C. D. Parkhurst udge advocate, nr. Magruuer is or ought to now be at Prescott to succeed Dr. E. I. Bailey as Medical Director of the Department of Arizona. Hits will permit the return to Lowell of Dr. Lippincott temporary Medi cal Director. The water works at Fort Whipple will soon be completed. The reservoir is to have a capacity of nearly 75,000 gallons. The telegraph was nrst in practical oper ation on the 11th. It seemed appropriately engaged in transmitting the dispatches published in this paper, which arc mainly devoted to congratulations over General Crook's appointment. In honor of the General's advancement, a grand hop came off at Department Headquarters on the evening of 11th. We are informed that all classes about Prescott rejoiced with willing hearts. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the aforesaid hop, but as it reached here some days after the occasion, our absence will be understood. Yotjno lady to a beau of whose com pany she is getting tired: " I hope you are not nervous, because that clock has a queer effect on people. All my gentlemen acquaintances start when it strikes ten, and it's just going to strike: so if you are nervous you had better go home before it begins." He that falls Into sin is a man, that grieves at it may be a saint, that boasteth of it is a devil. Fuller. " Jack your wife is not so pensive as she used to be." "No; she has left that off, and turned expensive." , Gen. Crook's Brijradlership. From The Washington Star. In accordance with the desire of the peo ple of the Pacific States and Territories,, and as a recognition of long, valuable and successful service in Indian warfare, the President has appointed Lieut Col. Geo. Crook, of the 23d U. S. Infantry, to be a brigadier general, In place of Gen. St. Geo. Cooke, retired. Gen. Crook's campaigns in Oregon and Arizona have shown a high order of ability, and it will be conceded that he has well earned his promotion. He has long been serving on his brevet rank as a major general. From Mining Life, Silver City, N. M. To the people of Arizona and New Mex ico, especially of Grant county, this is the best news heard for a long time. The pro motion of Gen. Crook is a just tribute to the ability and general success of this de servedly popular officer. He now occupies that position which his services have so long entitled him to hold. If he is retain ed in command of Arizona, our country will henceiorth suffer but very little from the Apaches of that Territory. We rejoice with our neighbors of Arizo na, and like them, return thanks to the President for this practical recognition of the interests of the western people. From The Rocky Mountain News. General Crook's promotion will meet with the unanimous approval of the west. A truer soldier, or a more skillful officer never drew a sword. It is especially un fortunate that he is to be removed from the west. The conqueror of the Apaches is too experienced an Indian campaigner to be sent to the peaceful shores of the lakes. Let Colorado. Wyoming and New Mexico be made into a department, and its command given to Brigadier-General George Crook. The News is informed that the appoint ment assures and strengthens the General in command of the Department of Ari zona. The suggestion about the new de partment is of course complimentary, if not desirable or likely tobe adopted. Ed. Citizen. From The Arizona Miner. Last mail brought us the pleasine intel ligence of the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel George Crook to the rank of Brigadier-General: a vacancy having occur red by t he placing of General Philip St. George Cooke upon the retired list. This meritorious promotion will be a source of pleasure to every Arlzonan. In no one in stance in the history of our country's In dian wars has any officer been attended with such a succession of successes. The campaigns of General Crook have invari ably resulted in much good, have been de cisive, and in due time he has accomplish ed all that could be done. His great abili ty needs no comment from us. He has been judged by those best qualified to de termine upon tne worm or an officer and their verdict comes to us in his promeilasir We extend to General Crook the hand of congratulation. Sonora News. ' We have a private letter from Guaymas of date Nov. 8, from which the follow ing relative to the close of the Septem ber revolt at Alamos, and so forth, is ta ken: All is new quiet in Sonora. Grim-visag- ed war has smoothed his wrinkled front and all is peace.
