month, her husband, who is large man

his country customers, accompanied 10y
his son Euoch, young man Of twenty,
in delicate health. They were in a sprug
wagon, ss most of their custom lay among
the small towns and villages off the Inc
of the railroads.
On the third night after their departure,
Mrs. Mainwa ing awoke her eldest
daughter, who was sleeping with her, ms
well as her mother, Mrs Doughtery, who
occupied AL adjoining room, and told
them OF n terrible dream she had Just had
and which she feared was Il mysterious
reflection on her mind of an actual occar
renee. Al the same time, she directed
their attention to the fact that she had
awakened out of her dream Mt precisely
five minutes past eleven, when the clock
over the mantel piece had suddenly stop

their danger, but was restrained 10y The
strange inability to move or speak that

saw them halted aud attacked by the four

could not sleep any more during the
night, though her mother and daughter

critic throws off this gem: A snake was
recently caught in Welsh church by
"chnrming" him from his retreat by the

"charmed" by harmoniam. And no

BROTHERS AND SIsTERs-Nearly all ma

achievement in arms, a declaration OF liber-
ty, tine establishments a creed, or the foun-
dation of a ~reform-gays OF worship, OF
rest, recreation and feasting. The custom
is not of modern invention, but seems to be
an ordinance transmitted from Jehovah
through Moses to the Israelites. ''SiX days
shalt thou work but OF the seventh tilon

thou rest" Thrice in the year Shalt thou
observe the feast Of weeks, and your men

the feast Of Tabernacles for seven days unto
the Lord" And, We shall keep it a feast
unto the Lord seven days in the year. 1t
shall be a statute forever in your generation;
.ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month"
The custom has prevailed through the long
vista OF years down tothe present day, so
that all nations, sects, and social orders, and
even down to families have some memor-
able event that they are E.oud to celebrate
NJ manner peculiar to their organizations.
INC custom appears to find favor With near-

tation when it is surfeited and clogged with
malt lamentations. Every glass that the
confirmed inebriate takes only increases his
oWn Generalization His mind becomes
impaired and refuses to control the appetite,
reason descends from her throne and loses
its power to point out the evils that beset
his pathway, or assist in repulsing habits
that will prove his inevitable destruction.
The final result is he becomes less and less
mindful of his health and moral improve
ment; he loses his self-esteem and decision
OF character; he sinks lower and lower in
the vortex of vice and dissipation and is
comfortable only in the depths of misery,
with an i'll balanced brain and and an ill
regulated heart. And oh, how sad aud
how frequent are the occurrences in this,
our Christian enlightened day, that so many
of these Door untortunates, goaded on by an
unqnenchable thirst and irresstable remorse
of conscience, in a moment of seeming in
tolerable proyocation, or in a paroxyism Of
furious frenzy, commit an act hat confines
them to a folon's cell or ushers t~hemunpre-
pared into the presence oftheir God.
One of the most sublime features of this
order, the advent of which we are permitted
tonight to celebrate, is the admission Of The
youth rs soon as they are able to under
stand the nature Of an obligation to teach
them lessons of temperance and sobriety
and prepare their minds for future useful
ness. while they are susceptible of good i'm
pressions. This order is designed to be ed
ucational and instructive, and the lessons OF
practical knowledge taught in it are calcu-
lated to be of lasting Importance to them in
after wears. Already our lodge has been
presided over by some of our young yet il
their teens, both male and female, and | all
proud toesay, with a tirmuess, a dignity ant
grace that would reflect credit on oldel
heads and longer experience. And l ap
{ peal to the fathers and mothers of the you'll
in this community with all the earnestnes
OF an advocate Of temperance reform to pre-
vail or your children to embrace temper
/ ance principles while in their youth befor
: they fall by the waysidc, that they may b
: a pride and a prop to you in your declinin
years.
! Thanking you, friends, for your symp
thies ineonr efforts in the past we-ask for

MAIL SERVICE WANTED.

Some thirty people living in the vicinity of Old Camp Date Creek, who are large property owners and paya large tax, where- by they add greatly to the payment of the expenses of running the machinery of the Territory and County, are entirely without mail facilities, the nearest postoffice to them being twenty-five miles. About the first of April the F. O. Department sent an Agent to Arizona for the purpose of enquiring into the wants of the citizens in respect to mail facilities. route was recommeded to be established, by persons cenversant with the necessities of those people living at Date Creek and adjacent thereto, taking Kirk land Valley as starting point and running direct to Signal City, on the Sandy, which would accommodate the many people along the route in question. The Special Agent thought favorable of the route recommend ed, and promised to use his influence and have the route established and service put on the same. How we'll the gentleman has fulfilled his promise can be surmised from the fact that no route has been opened or service put on. The people of Prescott, Date Creek, and Signal feel equally inter ested in having direct mail communica- tions established, and will work jointly in securing such service as will cause remedy for the evil.

Millions in Mines.

The Nevada mines, which arc apparently approaching thee of their great prosperity, have certainly had a magnificent career, and however much we may deplorc the fact that just now there is nothing opened to take their place, we cannot but feel proud of the re- suit of their five years working. The grand yield of the two mines may be put down as follows. For the Con. Virginia &26,055,- s73 gold, and $3S, ,1s7, 1888 silver; total $59,- e4s,e61. The California began yielding in 1876, and the record to date is $19, ,755, ,493 gold, and $2o, ,321 ,055 silver, to which must be added $473,000, proceeds of ore sold be- the company began to crush its own ore. The whole yield of the California is $40, 550,S43, and for the two great mines the yield has been S99, ,794, ,i04. Nothing like this has been known before in the worlds history, but even this large yield we expect to see excelled by some of the benanzasjust beginning to be developed in Arizona. For instance the Peck, Tiptop, McCrackin, sil. yer King, Blackberry, Stonewall Jackson and scores of others, which are just beginning to deyelope themselves and set the mining world to thinking.

A Democratic correspondent of the San Francisco Examiner unloads himself in that paper as follows:
 In years 10 come when the line of railway shall extend from San Francisco to the con- nection with the trans Mississippi roads. through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. this magnificent wealth of silver will be un- earthed and diffused, and Arizona will take her place in the Front rank among. the most famous mineral States of the Continent. and her population will be counted by hundreds of thousands Meantime she will struggle on and every year grow more habitable. more inviting, richer and more acc -ssible. The only paper published in Pinal county is the Florence Citizen, vigorous weekly for that sparseiy settled region. The advent of the railway will doubtless cause it to expand fo the importance of wide-awake daily with its two or three editions to furnish its thousands of readers the morning and eve ming dispatches from all quarters of tile globe. And the lad who reads this may moi long be agaJer hefore Arizona shall take her place in the sisterhood of States. with no Chinese to curse her soil, and sound Deraocracy tomakc hergreat and prosperous.

FLORENCE AND THE FOURTH.

This pleasant and thrifty town. which
 was named, by Governor Mccormick, in honor of the most beautiful city in Italy, has had its Fourth of July celebration. The people seem to have been somewhat more patriotic than at other places in tie Territory. Grand preparations were made, and good time generally had. The Dec laration of Independence was read, and an oration delivered by J. P. Cum, of the Citizen, which was couched in most excel lent and appropriate language, of which the following selection is fair sample:
 "Another year has rolled away into the deep bosom of the past. With it have been swept into eternity some of the most brilliant characters of our age. The with ering hand of death has fallen alike upon the small and great. The poet and the historian, the. sage and the warrior who a year ago rejoiced, as we now rejoice, are to-day numbered with those who are mar shaled in the silent halls of death. We have enjoyed another year of peace and prosperity, while in other latds the din of battle and the clash of resoundiug arms have been the terrible opponents of strife and discord, and the thousand nameless graves and pillaged, broken homes bear witness Of wars sad ruin and hapless des. solation. While we to-day with ponp and splendor, and hearty acclamations celebrate the l02d birthday of American liberty, the nations of Europe are debating the mighty question of war oF peace. America is at peace with all the world, and why should we hot rejoice when around us cluster the ripeninp fruits uf that frcadopp ua;<.,, xra, declared for us more than a century ago T
