Mr.. F FoRoUE, the irrepressible ice
cream man OF this place, so we'll
known to all the people OF the capital of
Arizona, has again distinguished himself
by trait OF genius. Stimulated by his
zeal for the good Of Tucson, and regard
less ofexpense, the enterprising old man,
who, though born In France. does bust
ness in true American style, now offers to
his patrons the Centennial glass bearing
the date of July !, lS76. We cannot
exactly say that the elegant articles were
manufactured expressly for the old man,
but for aught we know, that might be the
case. At any rate, every true American
should now jump at the chance of taking
his favorite ice cream in a Centennial
glass and thereby prove his loyalty.

How to Make Mischief.

Keep your eye on your neighbors.
Take care of them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong if you do. To be sure
you never knew them to do anything
very bad, but it may be on your account
they have not. Perhaps if it had not
been for your kind care they might
have disgraccd themselves long ago.
Therefore do not relax any effort to
keep them where they ought to be.
Never mind your own business
will take care of itself. There is a man
passing along-he is looking over the
fence-be suspicious of him; perhaps he
contempla,es stealing one of these dark
nights; there is no knowing what queer
fancies may have got into his head.
If you find any symptoms of any one
passing ont of the path Of duty, tell
every one else what you zee, and be par
ticuIar to see great many.
1t is a good way to circulate such
things, though it may not benefit your
self, or any one particularly. Do keep
something agoing-silence is dreadful
thing; it is said there was silence in
heaven for the space of half an hour;
do not let any auch thing occur ON earth;
it would be too much for this mundane
sphere.

Narrow Escape of William ".

One cannot but wonder whether Will
liam the Fourth OF England ever learn
ed that plot was laid for his abduction
during hi- visit to New York in the
spring of 1882. The Prince was young
and reckless midshipman. given to fir
tation, and TO the inebriation which
found vent in wrenching off door knobs;
and il probably never occurred to him
that in his person the "rebels" would
find hostage worth having. The pro.
ject originated with Colonel Matthias
Ogden of the Jersey line, and the in
tention was to surprise the Prince and
his commissioned guardian, Admiral Dig
by, at their quarters in the city man
sion of Gerardus Beekman on Hanover
Square. Two officers and thirty nine
men were to aid Colonel Ogden in his
enterprise. Embarking on rainy night
in whale-boats, they were to land in New
York near the Beekman mansion, force
the doors of the house, capture the Ad-
miral and Prince, and convey them to
to their boats. The plan was approved
by Washington, but it does not appear
that any decided attempt was made TO
carry it out. In some manner the ap-
prehensions of the British leaders were
excited for the safety of the Prince, and
every precaution was taken against a
surprise. Had it not been for this warn
ing, the boldness of the plan appears
likely TO have insured its success

"As Much Alike as Ants In a HILL. -

don't know what the lady was talk
ing abont. / merely heard the above
remark as she was passing through my
wood. Ha! ha! thought I to myself,
why, there is as much difference be-
tween ants as between people! I'll tell
you how / know it: The little school
ma'am has a turn for experiments, and
I've seen her make one or two on this
very point. One day she picked up sew
eral ants from one ant hill and carried
them to another ant-hill, where there
appeared to he thousands OF inhabitants
all looking just like the new -comers.
But it seems the ants could see the diff
ference, for the unfortunate strangers
were recognized as intruders, and were
instantly set upon and killed.
Another time the little lady took some
ants from a large hill, and shut them up
in bottle with some very ill-smelling
stuff called asafoetida. The next day
she returned, bringing the bottle with
the pri.oned ants. or course the poor
things smelled very strongly of the asa
foetida, and their nearest relations could
hardly be blamed for refusing to known
them. So felt quite frightened for
their sakes when the achoolma am re-
turned them to their home. But no.
Though they were at first threatened by
their fellows, they were soon recognized
and allowed to pass. ''Blood" was
stronger than asafetida.-"Jack -in-the-

A Strange Case.

6. H. Haselton, of Greensboro, Yer
mont, has little girl four years old,
who fell from the bed when about three
months old striking on the back of her
head and hurting her severely. Very
soon after this her head began to grow
quite rapidly, and in three months had
increased nine inches in circumference.
All efforts to arrest the growth proved
futile. The head now measures twenty
six and half inches one way and twen-
ty-four and three-quarters the other.
The expansion of the head seems TO be
all above the eyes. The body is about
the size of children of that age, and we'll
formed, bu, it has not enough strength
to carry the head, so the child has to be
held, or lies in Its crib, or plays on the
floor, just as it wishes. 1t seems to pos

and leaning too heavily on the show
case broke one Of the panes Of glass.

Well, you can't go out Of the store

Storekeeper in a determined voice.
I'm sorry, but I'm willing to be licked,
If that will do any good, replied the
stranger, rapidly getting out Of two coats
and vest, showing arms like joints Of

Preventing Sickness.

Some months ago sensible business
man, while travelling at the South fell
in with an invalid gentleman. In the
course of conversation the latter remark =
ed to the former, 81 suppose you also
must be something of an invalid, as you
are devoting so much time to travelling" !"
Not at ALL" replied the business
man; II am in the best of health; but
am travelling SO that l may retain my
vigor."
"But your business, my friend-does
it not suffer during your absence?"
Better that my business should suf-
fer little than that by over application
] should be totally incapacitated for at.
tending to it" was the reply.
The exhausted invalid pondered a
while and then said, II with / could
have reached that conclusion twenty
wears ago."
Here is a lesson. A summers vaca-
tion does not always repair mind or
body weakened by excessive exertion:
rest itself is not always rest, and recre-
alton sometimes seems only WEAKNESS to
the overtired mind. Thousands who
are simply slaves to business are ever:
looking forward to a time when they
shall relax the strain and rest. That
time seldom comes until too late. They
subject themselves to a pressure which
common sense should tell them is abovs
the limit of safety. Little sleep, hasty
meals and constant business anxieties
wear out the life. Hard work is not in
furious in itself; but Americans seem
not to understand how they can work
hard and yet obey the physiological de
mands for systematic relaxation. Long
vacations are we'll, whenever they can
be taken, but a short time given to
pleasant, wholesome rest and recreation
every day, free from thought of bust
ness, will keep the power of life fresher

Something About Oranges.

Oranges, which ave now 40 plenty and
90 cheap that even the poorest are moi

favor, were quite unknown to Enrop
cans little more than three centuries
ago.
IL is said that the very first orange
tree ever planted on European soil may
still be seen, Rnarled, and old, and bar.
ren, in one Of the gardens at Lisbon.
From this partriarchal tree how many

This orange tree came from China.
The pips from which it grew were
brought with great care from the Asiatic
lanj by Portuguese, and planted in hia
own country. Now oranges are grown
all over Spain and Portugal, in the
Mediterranean islands, in Southern TIA
ly, and all along the northern coast of
Africa, "a well "a in the islands OF the
Caribbean. in our own Gulf States, and in
Central and South America. IL IL said
that oranges grow most pIentifully in
that part of what we call the "Holy
Land" lying round about Jafia, and on
the road from that sea port TO Jerusalem.
In climate favorable To it's growth,
the orange tree yields it's fruit with
marvellous abundance. Twenty thonsand
oranges have been plnc ked from a sinRlr
tree at the Island Of ST. Michaels. the
swePtest and richest Of all oranges are
those which grow in China, and which
need almost no care or culture. The
hlood-rrd oranges come mainly from the
Island Of Malta.

Always Disappointed.

Did you ever see, far, far away from
you the beautiful purple mountains
and set forth to seek them, with a vague
feeling that upon them the world must
seem more beautiful. more romantic
than it does upon the plain? But as you
go on, though the roads are hilly and
there Is some climbing to he done, you
| discover that you never seem to reach
those mountains, those wondrously beau
tiful mysteries that smile upon you
from afar. You tread common earth
and Chamber over common rocks. The
trees and bushes grow even less beauti-
full; they are sIunted and rough: there
is much that is troublesome in the path,
and you cannot believe that you are
higher above the earth than you were.
Far away lies the beauty and the mys-
terry far away, faraway, and about yon
only mire, and dust, and stones, and
common heritage. Even should yuu
mount to some highest peak and look
back, you would find the beauty in the
valley you had left, not on the rugged
mountains where you stood.
And so in life. Climb where you may
to whatever pinnacle. you never reach
your beautiful mountain. Where yon
stand annther's eyes may now be fixed.
To him it has the beauty, the mystery,
the charm 1t once had to you. You have
only proven to yourself that the beauti-
ful mountains are yet farther away. And,
alas! living feet never reach them, but
must for ever press common earth.
Oh, the golden mountain of Wealth
Oh, the Curious mountain of Fame:
purple as an emperor's robel What say
those who stand upon them? Only this:
They were hard TO climb"
And that most beautiful and roseate
mountain which two ascend hand in

tians. We never may. Yet they make
the valley beautiful-and we would be

MISCELLANY.
A Glimpse of Gen. Washington.

One other scene may properly be ad
ded to this brief record Of the struggles
and triumphr of old New York There
came a sunshiny day in April, 17S9,
when George Washington, President
elect of the United States by the nnani-
nous voice of the people. stood on a
balcony in front OF the Senate Chamber
in the old Federal Hall on Wall street,
multitude filled the streets, and the win
dows and roof of the adjoining houses.
Clad in suit Of dark brown cloth of
American manufacture, with hair pow
silver shoe-buckles and steel hiIted dresa
sword, the hero who had led the colo-
nies to their independence came modest
ly forward to take up the burdens that
peace had brought. Profound silence
fell upon the multitude as Washington
responded soleDnly to the reading of
the oath of office, II swear-so help me
God" Then, amid cheers, the display
of flags, and the ringing Of all the bells
in the city, our first President turned to
face the duties his coupIrymen had i'm
posed upon him. In sight of those who
would have made an idol of him,
Washington's first act was to seek the
aid of other strength than his own. In
the calm sunshine of that April after
noon, fragrant with the presence of
seed-time und the promise OF harvest, We
leave him on his knees in Old St.
Panl's bowed with the simplicity of a
child at the feet of the Supreme RHler
of the Universe-[ John F. Mines;
