ANCIENT RUINS IN ARIZONA.
A letter to the St. Louis Republican gives the
following' interesting account of some ruins re
cently discovered in Arizona: A caretul ex
amination ot some extensive ruins, found some
miles east of Florence, on the Gila river, has
heen made. Lieutenant Ward was the first ex
ptorer who came upon the desolate remains of
.a oooe imposing architectural pile. It has been
deserted perhaps for more than a thousand
years, and has been crumbling away in the
-wilderness. The Apache even never pitched
his tent upon the spot so thickly strewo with
fragments of the work of a perished race. The
principal ruin is a parallelogram fortification.
600 feet in width by 1,600 feet iu length. The
walls, which were built of stone, have long been
overthrown, and are overgrown by trees and
viues. ? In many places a mere ridge indicates
the line of the Will, the stones having disap
peared benoath the surface. Within the in
closed area are the remains of a greater struc
ture, 200 feet by 260 feet, constructed of rough
ly-hewn stones. In some places the walls re
main almost perfect to a height, of some twelve
ieet above the surface. Ou the east side of the
graoda casa there are two openings ot an oval
shape which doubtless served the purpose of
windows. On the inner sides of the wall of
the palace, lor such it doubtless was, there are
yet perfectly distinct tracings of the image of
the sun. There are two towers, at the south
east and southwest corners of the great inclo
tures, still standiug, one of wbioh is twenty-six
and the other thirty one feet high. These
have evidently been much higher, as the brok
en lops and amount ot debris near their base
indicate. A few copper implements, some small
golden ornaments, ooc being an image of the
sun with a perforation iu the middle?and
some stone utensils, and two rudely carved
stone vases, mach like those found at Zupetaro
aod Copan, io Central America, aie all the
works of art yet discovered. No excavations
have been made as yet to determine fully the
extent aod character of these ruins. The ruins
are situated io a small plain, elevated nearly
two hundred teet above the bed of the Gila.
Just west of the walls of the fortification there
is a beautiful stream of water having its source
by the mountains, which crosses the plain, and
by a series of cataracts fail into the Gila about
two miles below. The fragments of pottery
aod polished stone reveal a condition of civili
zation among the builders of these ruins ' ana
logous to that of the ancient Peruvian. Cen
tral American and Mexican nations. The coun
try in the vicinity ot this burieb palace is par
ticularly wild, and unusually desolate. No
olue to the builders of this great fortified palace
with its towers aod meat, has been, or is likely
ever to be discovered. One tbiog, however in
apparent, that this whole country was once peo
pled by a race having* higheT grade of civili
zation than is fouud amoog any ot the native
tribes of the later ages. But whether this race
were the ancestors of tt^a Pimos, or some ex
tant people, is not and cannot certainly be
koowo. The ruins oo the Gila are another un
covered Palenque, another Copan, an Atlan
exposed at last to bewilder and confohod. It
is understood that these extensive ruins will be
thoroughly explored witbio the present year.
OLD LOVE REKINDLED.
The wedding was that of Mr. Conger, mem
ber of CoDgress from Michigan, with Mrs. Sib
ley, widow of Major Sibley, United Stales
army. She was Miss Humphries, daughter-of
Judge Humphries of the Supreme Court of the
State ot Ohio, aod twenty-seven years ago was
affianced to Mr. Conger, then a handsome,
blooming youib. They quarreled and parted.
In six months the quariel was forgotten, and
they were again engaged. Miss Humphries
was protty, a belle, and a flirt. Her flirting
propensities did not please Mr. Cooger, aud he
remonstrated with her., Being a high-spirited
girl, she again aod finally broke the engage
ment, telling bim she would never marry him.
He left the State. She married and he mar
rieu. Major Sibley lived twelve years. There
were no children, and at his death she went
abroad. Mrs. Cooger lived a few years, aod
left three ohildren. In October, weary of Eu
ropean life, Mrs. Sibley determined to return
to her home in Cibcinnati. Arriving in New
York, it oocurred to her to come to Washing
ton for a few weeks. Ob, woman, how myste
rious are thy ways! Ooe day, time hanging
wearily on her hands, sbe wandered (?) to Con
gress; of course, never dreaming that in this
august body sat her affinity I An hour passed;
the debates were prosy &nd tedious. So, gath
ering her wraps about her, she prepared to
leave the gallery, when there was a tap ou her
shoulder. Turning, who did she behold but
the lover of her youth I
After the commonplace greeting in an agitat
ed voice, she made the inquiry : "I suppose
your family are with you/" "D.d you not
know that my wife was dead?" With tragio
start nhe averred she did not. They chatted
some time, and, on leaving, she said: "I am
at the Arlingtoo, will you come aod see me?"
Hesitation ou his part, blushes on her's, aod
then in a low voice replied Conger, "I will
come if you will take back what you said
twenty-five years ago." "I will," she answered,
and she wilted. ,
The engagement was very brief, and the
happy twain were united last Saturday morn
ing at 11 o'clock. The bride wore a pearl
oolored satin brocade w&h diamond ornaments,
and looked very well, albeit she oould not look
sentimental,-far sbe is not very young, and'
weighs about one hundred and ninety-five
pounds. -- Cincinnati Commercial
A Chinaman entered a store in Helena,
Montana, the other day, and walking up to
the counter, deposited a grasshopper thereon
saying as he gazed upon the clerk with a con
fiding look : "He too much hoppee; all hop
pee- stop him. You sabbee?" The obliging
clerk at once oommeooed measuring off mus
quito bar, to the intense delight of the heath
co. The grasshopper had been destroying bis
garden, and wanting to purchase some rnus
quito bar, but not knowing the name of the ar
ticle, he brought.the destroyer with him, aod
the clerk understood in a moment the ahicle
needed.
The excavations carried oo for some years by
Mr. Wood of the Great Temple of Diana of
the Epbesians, have been discontinued. The
platform oo which the Temple stood has been
uncovered, and on the north side was found a
htne kiln, built sinoe the destruction of the ed
ifice, and into which much of the sculpture and
nimble .work must have been thrown. The
wge altar waB also uncovered.
