GOODNESS As LITERARY NkTfRIAL.

We can hardly imagine anything more
curious as subject Of inquiry than the
difficulty experienced BY every writer of
fiction in the attempt to paint . very good
man or woman. 1t seems to be very easy
to depict wicked people. The villains Of
the play and the novel appear in great va
rety with no lack of types of the finest
interest. Wickedness seems to be peren-
nially fresh. as it is proverbially engag-
ing. For instance; it would have been
quite impossible for John Hay to write an
acceptable or an Impressive poem about
sweet christian fellow who had sacrificed
his life to save boat-load OF myers
but he could paint Jim Bludso-a bad man
with o few touches that can never be
forgotten. If he had undertaken to de-
scribe good young man. who did not
chew, or drink, or swear; who taught q
class in the Sunday school, and who lived
virtually with his one wife, snd rose q
last into an act Of heroism, he would not
have found ten readers; but the rough,
coarse, profane wretch, who had one wife
at Natchez-under-the-hill and another
one up in Pike. becomes at once Q MEM
orable hero in his hands. With all that
may be said legitimately against Bret
Hart's heroes and heroines, there Is no
question that many of them are made
marvelously interesting by the forms Of
wickedness they represent. This much
is true at least, that as literary material,
the rough, low types of life and character
to be found in California and on the bor-
der. are much superior TO the best types
to be found here. er7
Perhaps the inquiry into the reason of
this should go deeper, or start further
back. 1t might be well to ask why some
of the most interesting people we ever met
were scamps. 1t might be we'll to inquire
why some OF the best men we know are
the least interesting. 1t might be instruc-
tive to learn why it is that q company of
virtuous girls will be attracted by man
whose virtue they have reason 70 doubt,
in the presence Of those who are knOwu
to be men OF purify and honor. These
inquiries might show US that goodness 10
not only less interesting to men as liter
ary material than wickedness, but is less
interesting in itself. 1t is undoubtedly
true that we should rarely 90 among eur
best men and women for our most inter-
esting characters. Certainly we should
not go among the membership Of our
churches. There arc churches the dead
level OF whose tasteless and 6aSorless
christianity is not only unintsresting, bat
repulsive.

WHAT HE WAS AFfRR.

A strong. healtby-looking young man
entered the County Clerks Office and
gazed respectfully around. Harry Thomp.
son, the Chief Deputy, stepped up and
blandly inquired of the stranger II he
wished any business transacted. ........-.-
The young man. when spoken to, start
ed back as though dreading an assault,
but he soon recovered himself, and said
in whisper:
Yes. sir-I called to see-I wanted
to have little talk-how much 10 Il, any
how?" - I
He held a soft cloth hat In his hand.
and kept turning and twisting il about ~
he spoke; his face had grown terribly
red, and big drops of perspiration were
standing on his brow.
What is it you wantg' asked the
clerk. -,
The man looked at him pleadingly.
but struggled in vain for utterance, HE
eyes bulged out. his face grew redder.
and the veins in his neck and on his fore
head swelled till they looked like gresk
knotted cords. He twisted the hat con-
vulsively and then Strengthened It out
again, and then he pulled the new lining
out of 1t and dropped 1t on the floor. Then
he picked it up all dusty from the door
and wiped his steaming face leaving .
somewhat dirty streak after each wipe.
Finally it seemed as though the poor
young man had quite recovered himself,
for he looked cheerfully around the room.
and then turning to Mr.. Thompson, re-
marked in pleasant and confidential
tone:
well it is real warm for this section,
isn't t?" sros :.
Very warm, indeed" replied Mr.. T.
''It's good deal hotter than We have Il
down in the valley. and somehow I've a.
ways had just the other notion about IT.
that the higher up you got the cooler"
eyes. said Mr.. Thompson ''but about
that business OF yours"
Another fiery blush that looked Is If Il
would scorch the collar Off his neck, fol.
lowed this remark, but the stranger held
up bravely. He leaned on the desk in an
easy. careless sort of way. and began to
toy with mucilage brush.
''The fact Of the matter is, that want
ed to-" ......f Z
Here he paused again, and meditativsly
iammed the mucilage-brush into the ink
stand. N'n'
"What the deuce are YOU doing with
that brush ?" asked the CLERK, somewhat
impatienly.
"Oh, by George-excuse me-" stam-
mered the man. rs he hastily withdrew
the brush, spattering the ink all over the
clerks shirt bosom. and as if it had been
molasses dripping from ,his fngsrs,
thrust the brush into his mouth, daubing
himself with ink and mucilage. and then
bolted from the Office. t $50 II
"Thats about the worst case have
ever seen," remarked Mr.. Thompson, q
he wiped big ink spot from the starboard
side of his Roman nose.
''Crazy as a LOOM" said Alderman Orn-
doff. who had been an interested specta-
tor of the whole scene. .'You ought to
send policeman after that man."
mo he's not exactly crazy" replied
Thompson. II knew from the starr that
he wanted q marriage license. and l.
thought I'd have little quiet fun; bas
he's broke the line now and gone OF with
the hook.'-[ Virginia CIv (Nepada)

4 Conference to be Held to Set
 He the Question.

Several sections of government land in Salt Rvicr valley, above Tempe, have recently been located b. citizens of the territory. The land has becn surveyed and the proper filings made. Some twelve days ago several parties who had located lands went up for the purpose of blowing and putting in crop, when a num- Der of Pima indians, whose place is on the Gila reservation, where they properly belong, came on the land, and by force drove off the settlers. Afler communicating with the agent and other authorities, the settlers, on Wednesday last went again on the land and completed a re-survey. While this work was being consuma- ted one ofthe party became separated from the rest, and was set upon by the Indians and compelled co seek $, eety in flight.
 Mir. J. II. Stout, Indian agent for the Pimas and 4Iaricopas, is now ic Phenix, with q view of settling the difficulty between the whites and Indians.
