Too BAD.-A little girl, dressed in
bloOmer costume, who had been
seated between her elder sister and
her beau, during a drive to the
country, on her return accosted her
mother thus: Ma, ma, L won't ride
with sister Jane and Tom Smith any
more, for he keeps a-hugging and
a-kissing her all the while. Now
just see here how mussed up my
pretty bloomer hat is, at the same
time holding up to the astonished
mothers view dilapidated looking
bloomer. Susan, Susan, how can
you talk so?" was the mothers ex-
clamation. 1T can't be possible
that your sister allows Mr.. Smith to
take such liberties!' Yes, but it
is possible, was the reply of the
mischievous little mink, ''and,
mother. she likes it, for she leans up
to him just like brother Jacks
Guinea pig when he scratches his
back"

Who has recently made the country
Arizpnat a visit and returned. He
considers Arizona greatly overrated,
and that it can bear no comparison
in mineral wealth to Nevada. To
reach it, the most terrible of burn
ing deserts must be crossed. and
then there ara no facilities for min
ing: there are no good houses, mills,

gha mines are neither plentiful,
rich. nor accessible; living Is ex-
pensire and poor. wages low and the .
people slow. The Eulture mine IS
undoubtedly rich. and the great
Tiger mine, Of which so much is
id to create an excitement, shows
only a stratum Of about four inches
thickness in rich ore. Hair is the
surest crop, and that is raised chiefly
by the Apache. Having been the
length and breadth of that delecta-
ble Territory, I can fully corrobor-
ate the statements Of Marley, and
Join with his advice to let Arizona
alone. Eastern Nevada, with its
many mines, railroads, good and

the comforts and advantages of life
IS thousand times preferable TO
Arizona, and this is the opinion Of
all who are acquainted with the two.

The population Of London, according tc

half o million In ten years. In the United

is two thousand years old. Forty years ago
the population OF London was a million and a
