OUR CLEARANCE SALE The next morning tlio three .fortunate men, already millionaires in imagination, repaired to tho spot, and during Uie ne t two or threo days picked up on tho surface of tho ground nearly forty thousand dollars in gold in lumps of from twenty pounds downward. It was several weeks before the startling news reached tho city of Phoenix, the nearest point of supply, but When it di'l come and spread onward to Tucson and Tombstone, and into California, an immense rush eC prospectors and miners commenced, that is : ■ ill increasing. Hundreds of mining cla < havo since been taken up, for this di- :ct, so long unnoticed, turns out to bo a. lutely impregnated with tho precious mi Is, and within a radius of ten miles of the j -uanza numerous largo bodies of gold, silver, copper and argentiferous galena ores aro being assiduously worked. Of these, however, no explicit account can bo given as yet, as no final results have bren obtained. cently Had* In That Territory. The miners, Harry Watton, Robert Stein and Michael Sullivan, are all well known in Arizona, having been engaged in searching for nature s hidden wealth for many years, says a Barrisburg (A. T.) correspondent. After mcnumentintr their respective claims the .two former returned to camp to prepare the proverbial beans, bacon, bread and black coffeo on which the prospector thrives, while Sullivan lugged behind on the hillside. Pretty soon ho saw a curiouslooking stone, it was about flvo inches long, threo inches wido and an inch thick, and though dark in color it had yellow Btreaks and ridges intersecting on its surface that made his heart give a sudden jump. Ho stooped and picked it up. It weighed about three pounds, and ho saw at a glance that it was solid gold. He considered that to be a pretty fair afternoon's work, in view of tho fact that gold is worth 1301 45 a pound, so he returned to camp and partook of his beans in silence. After supper, as the three lit their pipes and drew around ttie camp-fire in the gathering dark ness, ho drew out his gold specimen. By tho flickering firelight they recognized it at onco as tho royal metal, and were wild to know where ho had found it. But Sullivan was astute. Ho had not picked it up on 0110 of his own claims, but nevertheless ho wanted "some of tho pie" himself, so ho said: "Look here, fellows! We three are out in theso mountains all by ourselves, and i say let us hang together. If you will both agrco to consolidate our nine claims and work as partners 1 will show you where I found tho gold." The consolidation was made, and it then turned out that the gold had been picked up on Walton's claim, within six feet of a hole ho had dug that very afternoon. He had named tho claim tho "Gold Hill.'' and it did not belie its name. Rich Discovery of the Yellow Metal Re- GOLD IN ARIZONA. washee, but ho no cuokee.

The oflictr gladly consented, and in the curse of a day or two, when his wife went, to the kitchen to pn pare dinner she found a Chinaman, cue-ed and whitevestc I, already at work among the pots and pans. She cheerfully retired in his favor. About, a week later, when the oflk e and his wife sat down to dinner, they observed • that the heathen in atteuduncn upon them was not the heathen who had been serving them for tho past week, bi t an entirely new and different one.

NEVER BEFORE have we been so successful in clearing out all our Odds and Ends in SUITS, PANTS, and BOYS' CLOTHING. The people understand that when we advertise BARGAINS IN ODD SUITS that we mean jnst what we say. Our trade this year has been greater than that of any previous year. And we can truthfully say that wo have had no Dull Season. From 7 o'clock last Saturday morning until eleveu o'clock Saturday night our store was crowded with the best trade in this county. We still have some Odds and Ends in MEN'S, BOYS' and CHILDREN'S CLOTHING that will bo sold REGARDLESS OF QUALITY OR PRICE. Our NEW FALL STOCK is coming in every day, and we can say with pride that there never was so fine a Fall aud Winter stock brought to Pnnxsutawnsy as we will be able to show. We have been through the Eastern markets, and have made a selection of the FINEST CLOTHING MAFUFACTURED IN THIS COUNTRY. They are well made, perfect fits, and of the finest Imported Goods. Our highest ambition is to please our customert, and we have learned in the past, two years that our customers want good goods. Instead of paying $30 or $35 for a tailor made suit you should remember that yott can buy the same quality of goods at our store, and just as well made, too, for $15, .$18, $20 and $22. This is certainly a great Baving. The man who wants to wear fine clothes will find it to his advantage to look through our stock before leaving his measure with a tailor for a Fine Suitor Overcoat.

The visitor, say# tho Memphis Avalanche, was a man of sixty, well preserved and stoutly built, with hairy, muscular hands; a big head, from which timo is plucking tho strands of sandy hair, a short beard of tho samo color tinged with gray, and gray eyes, with tho quick, keen glance peculiar to men who havo carried their lives in their hands and who search la that swift moment tho features of poop's they meet for tho first time. It was Cieorga Dovol, an Ishmaolitc of the Ishmaelites, for forty j«ars tho king of tho river gamblers, who in his eventful career has seen more of theseamy sideof existence on and along the Mississippi than any other living man, ami whose name is as familiar as pig tracks to people who havo traveled on the great river before and sinco tho war. on Western .St^bbiiiouU. George Doro!, it Once Pumous Gainhlei In warlike times when battlo was the business of life and victory over a foe' tho highest honor that could bo had, when homo in tho true sense there was none, and when castles were less houses for pleasant living than strongholds to shelter raiders and resist assault, women were as heroic as their age. If they were not so accurate in their aim as the archers, of whom it was said every English bowman "boro under his girdle twenty-four Soots," they knew how to man tho ramparts and defend tho bridges as well as their lords themselves. Womanliness in the bower, dignity in the hall, courage in tho castlethat was tho wholo duty of these noble women of a rude but manly age, and to their example, their influenco and their shaping power as mothers England owes much of her greatness and half of her Btrcngth. Letting Boadicea pass as an example of tho feminine lighting blood, wo find in Damo Nichola de Camville an early specimen of the war-like political woman. She took tho royal side in tho famous war with tho Barons, and held Lincoln Castlo against Gilbert do Gaunt, first for ICing John and afterward loi Henry III., till the battle called Lincoln Fair broke her power. Tho boautifu! Countess of Salisbury, she who was so urdently beloved by the third Edward, was another lnstanco of feminine daring, in her case coupled with the lovoliest and mqst gracious sweetness, Black Agnes waj again a heroine, of the virago type, and Queen Philippa,Queen Margaret, and others of the same kind honored their adopted nationality by their courage and devotion. Meaner women were as bravo. In a skirmish at Naworth (1570) Leonard Dacres had in his army " many Asperate women who there gavo tho adventure of their lives and fought right stoutly." And at tho end ol tho last century and tho beginning of this about half a dozen women on ttie whole enlisted as privates in tho army, and "pulled their pound" as gallantly as men Miss Jennie Cameron, Scotch and Jacobite, was another example of the fighting worn en with whom naturo had stumbled and spoiled the original design.

The goat shot away likpaflash, and as he drew near he made a long jump to give full force to the intended blow. Next instant both had disappeared, and wo ran down expecting to see them struggling in the muddy waters.

"What a fool of n nigger to take such a risk?" growled a second. From where we sat on the tavern veranda we could look right across tho Mississippi river, although at tho edge of ti.e river on our side there was a bluff forty feet high, with a strong current below. All along this bluff, sa\a a writer in the New York Run, were commons, and we had an unobstructed view. Wo were talking and smoking when a goat came around the corner of an old abandoned warehouse ainl began to feed toward us. Five minutes later an old white-headed darky, using a cane to help him along, came out from behind the same warehouse and stood aim t on the edge of tho bluff, and appeared to ga. e across the river. and It Smvoil llim WVtl, It Was a Trick I.earned During *|u> War Body Brussels—75c., H0j., 00c . 51.on and $1 ifi Rugs, Smyrna and Reversible from J1 to $7.y.'>.

Queer-looking sea-creatures gay.o down with shining goggle-e.yes upon the inevitable "fat gent," always found at a Turkish bath, who half imagines himself a merman disporting himself gracefully in the Neptunian realm. The scewo is altogether we.'rd and well cal minted to enhance the pleasures of ablut :c:mry indulgence on tlw oriental plan. The proprietor of tho concern, as a preliminary to starting it, sunk an artesian well on the promises and struck, not fresh water, as he had expected, but a vein of tho purest sea-flood, which came in straight from tho Atlantic between two strata of slate at a deptli of a little over two hundred feet. This was considered a misfortune, for it costs money to boro into the earth with pipes, and another attempt was made some distance away from the first hole. Two thousand dollars moro was expended, and tho flow of salt water was struck again. Scientific experts were called, and they said that it was evidently a subterranean branch of tho ocean, of no great depth bit of unknown extent.. The phenomenon was considered so extraordinary that i.arnel Harvard professors liavo Ik 011 making it a subject of serious discussion. Tb" ownerof tho well', was not much interested in tho geological aspects of tho matter. It merely occurred to him thatho was f l 000 out. But at length the notion struck hi:a that he might employ tho water ;. t profitably in a different way and make real soa-batliing one of the attractions of his place. So l.o constructed an enormous tank, to hold many thousands of gallons, and turned the flow of tho oceanwells into it. And now, after going through the sudorific and other < ::ereises incidental to a Turkish bath at this institution, onoenjoys tho luxury of a Uc'ightfi.i and invigorating plungo in the sea. If the refined Bostoniun desires a bath in old ocean's stimulating brine ho is no longer compelled to seek it—in caso circumstances compel him to endure tho summer's heat in town—by a journey to tho beach. Ho can obtain one almost at a moment's notice, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, by simply stepping into a certain establishment on one of our main thoroughfares in the heart of tho city. Here is found what is boasted to b° tho most gorgeous and completo plant for administering ablutions in tho Turkish style so far known in tho United States. It was only opened tho other day and its most remarkable feature is the facilities it offers for sea-bathing on the spot. Arm of tliv .Sea.
