SOCIAL LIFE.-Any great movement
for good in social life begins at home.
1t begins with fathers and mothers.
The first and highest duty is to make
home cheerful and attractive. Hus-
band and wife must do this for each
other. Without this, their mutual af-
fection will dry up. If they have chill
dren, it is their duty to make home
sweet and precious to them. Children
with good homes seldom go to the bad.
Girls who have learned to trust their
mother, in their whole round of thought,
seldom get talked about. Boys who
are made to feel the strength of a
fathers and the tenderness of a mothers
love, seldom run wild. Their natural
love of fun and mischief does not bind
them over to the DEVILS service.
Pleasant, cheerful, bright homes, then,
are the great demand. They may be
poor, but they can still be pleasant and
attractive and good. The heart and
spirit are more than furniture and
dwelling.

~The other day a groceryman at
Vallejo gave a large party, at which
the daughter of the carriage painter
who lived next door created decided
sensation. 1t was not that she was
more handsomely attired than the other
ladies present, but that when she
gyrated in the "dance of DEATH she
was observed to display the only pair
of pink silk stockings in the room. She
left the house for a few moments at the
expiration of the dance, and in the
next waltz exhibited a pair of light
blue dittoes. An hour later her crushed
and exasperated female friends beheld
these supplemented by further hose of
a delicate. chocolate shade. And so it
went on until her miserable rivals de-
termined to follow her the next time
she disappeared. They traced her to
her fathers paint-shop in the back yard,
where she was discovered, brush in
hand, and about ornamenting her neither
extremities with final artistic coat of
light salmon. The exulting spies rush
ed back with the damaging news, but
it was too late. The men were all too
tight to understand, the music had gone
home and the lights were being put
out. Thus it is that frand and duplicity
triumph, while honest simplicity walks
around with darn on its calf and a
hole in its heel.-San Francisco Post.

An Incident Of Colorado Life.

In drear and wintry prairie opening
called Summit Park, " Oregon Bill - has
established his hermit home. His cabin
is visible mile down the meadow, and
thin corkscrew of smoke was curling
above it's dirt roof when we passed. The
other day while o. Bill was away thirty
or forty miles at his next neighGor's, re-
building dilapidated leg or something,
another fellow whe wanted to be her
NIT came along and jumped Bills pos
sessions. By and by Bill came limping
back home ON crutches, and the jumper
met him at the door with his gun. Bill
let go one crutch, held up his game leg,
whipped out his revolver and blazed
away Then he walked off down to
Saguache, sixty or seventy miles, told
the story aud gave himself up. An ex-
animation was had, and he was dis
charged; a fatigue party was sent up to
plant the other fellow, and now of Bills
fright there is none to dispute. -

1he Great Coal Fields of Arizona.

The great carboniferous basin of Ari-
zona, and in all probability the greatest
Of the, world, exists within 140 miles OF
Prescott. This itlifnense ceal deposit
makes its first appearance in Southwest
ern Colorado and Northwestern Mexico,
but its great nucleus extends from
TERRA Ausarilla, in Rio Arriba, New
Mexico, to the Colorado river, distance
of 276 miles, and from the San Jiian
river, distance of 1873 miles. This i'm
mense area of 38,O98 square miles is
one continuous mass of coal. It lies be-
tween the parallels of 100 and 112 de-
grees longitude, and 35 and 81 degrees
north latitude, and ell in YaTapai
county.
The great Appalachian coal fields,
covering parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Alabama, is estimated at 0,G00 square
miles. The Illinois and Missouri, cov-
ering very considerable part of Illi-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas,
and Arkansas, is estimated at all area of
40, 600 square miles. The estimated
area of the New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia coal fields, covering parts of New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward
island, and Newfoundland, is $4,000
square miles. So that all the coal meas
ures known on the American continent
amount to 5000 square miles. In this
vast area the coal does not crop out or
disclose itself on the surface, but SIM
ply Inc geological carboniferous area is
exposed. So that in Yavapai county we
have nearly one-half the whole known
coal area of this great continent
In the $4,000 square miles of coal area
il our county, the coal crops out or ex-
poses itself on the surface over the en-
tire space Prescott Miner.

Dancing Denounced.

Mrs Gen. Sherman has written an
other letter against dancing. She says
that she has noted "the wall of the
wounded and the guilty dancers since
her first denunciation of the amusement.
1T is not to be expected, she continues,
''that young girls. who sre unconscious
of evil in the beginning, should reflect
long enough to summon the moral eour-
age to resist the alluremeLts of the dance
unless with encouragement and support
of their parents. To the honor of pure
maidenhood be it said, however, that
there are young girls who decline from
instructive delicacy, even when their
parents would have them join the throng
who dance down the broad road of
worldly pleasure.

CHRISTMAS COMING.
BY MARY B. DODGE. 4

eathery fakes are dancing, dancing
In the gray morns frosty CLEAN;
H9ralds they of reindeer prancing
From the gardens of our dream
From the bright land of the elf-king
Where the bon-bons gayly grow
Just like sweets of summer gardens,
When the tulips smile in row.
Feathery fakes are falling, falling
From the skies in softest way,
Aud between are voices calling
.' Soon IL tciU be Christmas day."
DON'T you know how in the spring time
Wintry SLOWS are scattered wide,
Ere the lovely purple blossoms
Dare to peep from where they hide7
Feathery fakes are sitting, sitting
Through the chill December air
Here, and there, and wonder drifting,
Making everything more fair;
Laying whittier folds than linen
On the houses and the trees,
Softer tha the richest damask
Spread our dainty guests to please.
Soon the bon-bons will be falling
As the fakes have fallen to-day,
And the children will be calling
To their patron saint so gay:
"AhI we knew when came the snow-fakes,
Yos would come, dear Santa Claus;
For we always (you remember)
knowthe winds way by the straws."
Soon the trees, as fair any
That the elves have wreathed with snow,
VIII be planted-oh SO many
In our many homes-and 10!
Something better far than snow-fakes
Shall be hung about their green
Candies, toys, and fairy-tapers
Lighting up the merry scene.
And the children dancing, dancing,
Till, all tired their little feet,
Shall, with half-shut eyes up-glancing,
Wonder. "why is life SO sweet ~
And some tender voice shall whisper
Flake-like falling from above
Christmas is sweet my darling,
Just because its King is lore ~

THE MIsTLETOE.

In ancient times the Druid priests,
With many solemn VOW,
Gathered thy branches, sacred plano,
To crown the priestess' brow;
And chanting grave, mysterious hymns,
With measured steps and slow,
They marched beneath the old oak-trees,
Bearing the mistletoe.
How many legend, strange and old,
Around thy branches clings,
Of superstitions fierce and dread,
OF wild, barbaric tlingsi
What curious rites or. Salisbury plain,
What grand and pompous show
Of Celts aud Mortimer, hast thou seen,
Mysterious mistletoe!
Those cruel, superstitious years
Long since have passed away;
A fairer priestess than of old
Blesses thy leaves to-day.
Trooping across the snowy fields
The laughing maidens go,
To gather for their festival
The Christmas nlistletoe.
The hall is bright with Christmas cheer,
And youths and maidens fair,
With innocent and happy hearts,
Have met together there.
With purer, deeper reverence
Than Druid priest could know,
The lover kisses blushing cheeks
Under the mistletoe.

A HeartaRending Death.

Particulars of a terrible death by
freezing have reached here from the
village of Coboconk, in North Victoria,
120 miles northeast of here. On Satur-
day afternoon the 12-year-old son of
Mr.. John Campbell, a farmer living on
Grufitt's lake, north of Coboconk, saw
deer making across the lake on the ice,
and, concluding that If the Ice could bear
the deer it would carry him, started in
pursuit. A quarter of mile out from
shore he suddenly went through, but
after desperate exertions, during which
his hands and legs were mangled by the
keen ice edges, reached a rock in the
very center of the lake. Here he cried
for help, and his father and mother with
band of neighbors ventured out after
him, but the ice was frail and treacher-
GUS. Attempts were also made to reach
him in boats and canoes, but without
avail. 1t was bitterly cold, and as even
ing set in the boy became numbed and
weak. HM 81 grew fainter and
fainter, while the efforts of those on
shore were redoubled to no purpose.
AS night fell he was seen to throw up his
hands and tumble headlong into an ice
hole, whence he was soon drawn under.
He perished, in short, from sheer cold
and exhaustion i'll the sight of his pa
rents. His body was recovered ON Sun
day afternoon.-I'oroaato (Ont.) Cor.

An Arizona Incident.

An interesting story comes from Ari-
zona. Kellogg and Carter owned min
ing claim, and foolishly quarreled about
it. Kellogg was man of few words;
''light and free was his touch upon his
revolver" With little ado, he fred at
his partner, and supposed that he had
sent bullet into his breast; but, behold
Carter was good young man, and had
a Bible in the pocket OF his gray work
ingshirt. The ball struck upon the sa-
cred book, its course was turned, and
Carter was unhurt. Then the good
young man whipped out his cleaning
bowie-knife, sprung upon Kellogg, and
carved him so artlstically that his hold
on his revolver relaxed, and he was like
to die. The good young man stanched
his opponents wound, and rode away
Tor physician, returning within twenty
four hours, having made total distance
of over ninety miles. Kellogg is recov-
ering. Garter, to avoid arrest, sought
to cross the river, and this time the Bible
didn't save him. He was drowned. The
moral of this recital is very intricate
But it is plain that Carter wasn't born to
be hanged.

A Sensitive Woman.

The following is told of a resident of
Iowa: "The case of Mrs. E. Winship,
who resides in Shell Rock, is remarka-
bic one. The slightest odor of tobacco,
ether, chloroform, turpentine, benzine,
kerosene or prussic acid will, if she in
hale it, throw her into violent convul-
sions. SO sensitive is she to the effect
that she is obliged to shut herself wholly
in room by herself. These commissions
increase in severity at each repetition,
and few days since a man entered the
house with a piece of tobacco in his
mouth before the family were aware Of
it, and, although the rooms were thor
oughly ventilated by leaving the doors
and windows open, enough of the odor
of tobacco remained to produce these
convuisions when Mrs. Winship came
into the room, and for some hours it was
thought she would not recover. Extra
ordinary precautions are used to prevent
those who use tobacco from going to the
house."

Iemperance and Nemesis.

Late in July a valuable horse was
stolen from j. II. Mason, of Green
River. The trail of the thief led toward
Denver, and Sheriff Cook of that city
was notified to keep a lookout for the
thief, whose name was Barker Martin.
Nothing was heard of him until a few
days ago, when an officer noticed
among the signers of the pledge in
Denver, the name of Barker Martin.
He was arrested last Wednesday and
lodged in Jail to await the arrival of an
officer from Green River with a requisi-
ton. In Denver he was known as
William Cooper, but under the excite
ment of a stirring Murphy address,
signed his real name to the pledge. His
temperance certificate was found on his
person.
Gov. Thayer issued 4 requisition on
the governor of Colorado yesterday for
Mason, and Sheriff Dykins will go to
Denver for him this afternoon.
