 The fulsomo praises that the Territorial papers are bestowing upon the Pimas and Maricopa Indians, detailing the many noble acts that they have bestowed upon white people, etc, are somewhat sickeninp.

Dai ly mail service will spring into existence, fast and slow freight teams will line the thor ou ghfare between the Hcrald's home and the Gila Bend depot, carrying out flour and grain for the Northern Arizona trade, and bringing pack in turn from there the supplies for the 25,900 people that will, in a few short years, find pleasant anu valua- be homes in the Valley of the Salinas. Good enough.

The GOOrkhas.

The worthy inhabitants of Malta, says
the London Globe, will scarcely derive
much aesthetic delight from the personal
appearance of the Goorkha regiments
that have arrived among them. Ugly
beyond comparison, with fiat features,
and mere slits for eyes, these soldiers
are of stunted stature, frequently very
low-legged, and much too broad for
their height. But they are splendid
little fellows for fighting purposes, be-
ing very hardy, capable of enduring al
most any amount of fatigue. devoted to
their officers, and completely devoid of
even the instinct of fear. Armed only
with their kookeries" es"-broad-b -bladed
heavy knives of fine temper and sharp
as razors-they often go on foot into the
jungle IN quest of some man-eating til
ger, and If the brute is brought to bay
it rarely escapes with life. Buddhists
by faith, they hold in scorn the caste
prescriptions of Hindooism, and when
in our service they adopt many of the
customs of the English soldiery. IL is
an amusing sight to see Goorkha set
ting forth from a station for q days
sport in the neighborhood. Dressed in
some cast off European nltttti, which he
has purchased in the bazar, he carries
either an ancient fQwling-piece or a
razed Brown Bess, while at his heels
follow two or three ours of very low de-
gree, whose ears and tails have been ar
tistically dooked. Yet, bizzare as looks
his get.up, the little fellow generally
manages to bring home decent bag
unless, indeed, his weapon bursts at the
first discharge. His method is either to
stalk the game, be it a dove or deer,
or TO lie in wait for hours at some likely
spot. Between whiles he puffs his short
clay pipe and murmers the songs of his
native land, which sound rather harShly
to sophisticated ears. Altogether a right
merry lad is the Goorkha in quarters,
and held in high esteem by the Euro
pean soldiers. But his greatest talent
lies in fighting TO the death for the
side whose salt he eats. Some years
ago, during one of our expeditions into
the Peshawur hills, a Goorkha detach-
ment was skirmishing with the Afredees.
On the recall being sounded, three or
four men who had taken up favorable
positions declined to come back. There
they remained, leisurely firing at the
enemy until the Afredees swarmed down
in overwhelming force, and then out
flashed the wicked-looking kookeries,
and there was some pretty fair fighting.
OF course the plucky little fellows were
all killed, but not before the ground
was considerably Uttered with defunci

Words Of wisdom.

Believe not i'll of a brother till it is
proved beyond doubt.
Following many vocations has ruined
the life OF many man.
Make yourself necessary, young man
and your success is certain.
There is but one thing that is sure
here on earth, and that is death.
Everybody seems to think himself a
moral half bushel to measure the
worlds frailties.
1t is heaven upon earth to have q
mans mind move in charity, rest in
Providence and turn upon the poles of
truth.
In the cities Of the dead the houses
are small and close together and a
thistle is as liable to grow from a rich
mans grave as daisy is from the mound
that covers the dust of a beggar.
Those who expect the most ere liable
to the greatest disappointments. A
man of numerous desires is of all beings
the most dependent. He who contracts
and simphfes his wants will secure the
greatest amount of happiness.
1t is not worth while to think too
much about doing good. Doing the
best that we know, minute by minute
and hour by hour, we insensibly grow to
goodness as fruit grows to ripeness.
How TO ADMoNIsH. We must consult
the gentlest manner and softest seasons
of address our advice must not fall
like violent storm, bearing down and
making those to droop whom it is
meant to cherish and refresh. II must
descend as the dew upon the tender
herb, or like melting fakes of snow
the softer it falls the longer it dwells
upon and the deeper it sinks into the
mind.

The short skirt dress for street and
out Of doors wear becomes more and
more popular from day to day. Rich
and elegant fabrics are being made up
in short skirt styles, and are seen along
Broadway and Fifth avenue daily, worn
by the most fashionable women. Trim
mings of lace, fringe, embroidery and
pleatings are seen on such suits. The
toilet Ematches In all it's details. The
hat is trimmed with ribbons and feathers
to harmonize in color with the materials
OF the costume. The gloves, of un-
dressed kid ARE Of fine Lisle thread, with
clockings around the wrists, are selected
likewise with an eye to the colors of the
suit, and the short skirt shows the
stockings or the cloth top of the boots,
also to match. In fact, cloth tops to
boots have become universally popular
since the short dresses have come in
vogue. Black cloth tops are most sought
for, but those with gray or brown tops,
or checked black and white, are chosen
for special dresses. Black velvet tops
are also worn, but the shoe of the season
is the sandal top Newport tie, with
Louis XIV. heel. The straps across the
toe and instep show the colored stock
ing, which, in that case, must match the
costume, of course. Such shoes, how
ever, are not intended for street wear.
The side-buttoned boot is still the shoe
for that use.
Beautiful Balbriggan hosiery is
shown this season in improved shapes
and finish, and knitted to produce bour-
cite effects in color on dark sufaces, or
in mixtures of white and black, or two
shades of grey. For house wear with
low slippers, which must be ornamented
with bows and buckles, are shown ex-
quisite silk and Lisle thread hosiery,
with the foot in solid black and the leg
pale rose, blue, scarlet, green, or any fancy
color, and sandal straps simulated in
black bands thrown across the instep,
and continued in horizontal lines around
the ankle to the point where the swell
of the calf begins. Such stockings come
of extra lengths, and are gartered above
the knee with ornamental elastic-drawn
ribbons, bedecked with bows and Jewell
led buckles.
Madame Raymond, writing from Paris
to H0rper's B0zGr, says: "In general,
short costumes are fat only in front. In
the back the tunic or polonaise is draped
in very marked fashion. This is the
transitie n which will lead us back to the
boufant dresses, the temperance of
which was announced for this summer,
and the final adoption for next winter.
With bouffant dresses will be worn, it is
said, small paniers, which will form a
sort of miniature crinoline on each side
of the wearer. Some fashionable ex-
quisites have already adopted short cos
tunes bouffant on the hips, and sup
ported by paniers.

Two Hundred Thousand Bugs.

The San Francisco Bulletin says.
Prof. Davidson, President of the Acade-
my of Sciences, recently called the at
tention of a number of citizens to the large
collection of specimens in entomology
made by Henry Edwards during period
of twenty-five years. This collection is
said to be one of the largest ever made
in the United States, and by far the
most complete ever made on the Pacific
coast. About 60. 900 species have been
collected, representing more than 2O0,-
600 specimens. These represent not
only all the orders on this coast, but
nearly or quite all in the United Slater,
with a large representation of orders
from all parts of the world. The collec-
tion is really one of the most complete
known in this country or any other.
The collection is valued at $40, 900, or
rather that is about the sum expended
in freights, cabinets, and the purchase
OF rare specimens. The labor Of twenty
i've years is not estimated

The Taking Of the RnstIIs.

Henri Taine gives the following vivid
description of the capture of the famous
Paris prison by the French revolution
lists on July 18th, 1898. After the gar
rlson and its governor had capitulated
they were killed by the infuriated popu-
lace for firing upon them:
At the bastile from ten o'clock in the
morning TO Ave in the evening, men fire
at walls forty feet in height, thirty feet
thick, and it is only by chance that they
hit one of the inmates. At the first
demand the governor has his guns drawn
back from their embrasures, he makes
the garrison swear that they will not
fire If not attacked, invites the first
deputation to breakfast, permits the
messenger from the Hotel de Vile to go
over the whole fortress, bears several
discharges without replying, let's the
first bridge be carried without firing q
shot. If he do finally fire it is ct the
last extremity, in defense of the second
bridge, and after having warned his
assailants that he was about to do so.
As for the assailants, they are maddened
by the novel sensation of attack and
resistance, by the smell of powder and
the excitement of fight all they can do
is to dash themselves against the solid
mass of stone, and their expedients are
on level with their tactics. A brewer
takes it into his head to set fire to this
block of masonry by pumping on it a
mixture of phosphorus and oil of tur-
pentine. A young carpenter, who has
archaeological notions, proposes to con-
struct catapult. Some believe them
selves to have got possession of the
governors daughter and are about to
burn her by way of obliging her father
to yield. Others set fire to an outstand-
ing building full of straw, and thus OBJ
struct their own way. "The bastile
was not taken by main force" said the
brave Ellie, one of the assailants cit
rendered itself up even before it was at
tackled, it capitulated on the promise
chat no one should be injured. The
garrison, only too well secured, had no
longer the heart to fire in safety on
living bodies, and on the other hand it
was disconnected by the sight of the i'm
mense crowd. Only eight or nine
hundred men were attacking 1T. But
the Place de la Bastile and all the sur
rounding streets we're thronged with the
curious who came to look on at the
spectacle among them, says an eye
witness, ga number of well-dressed and
fashionable women who had left their
carriages at little distance" From the
top of their parapets, it seemed to the
100 composing the garrison as though
the whole of Paris was marching against
them. Thus it is they themselves who
let down the drawbridge and introduce
the enemy. All alike have lost their
head, besieged as well as besiegers, but
the last most completely because they
are intoxicated by victory. AS soon
as they enter they begin by breaking
everything, and the latest comers fire at
random on the first "every one fire
without taking notice where or on whom
the fire tells" The becoming suddenly
and having license to kill is
too strong potion for human nature
vertigo follows, men see red, and their
delirium ends in ferocity.

NANNIE.

cannot set down in so many words
just when or how it came TO be under
stood between my partner, John Still
man, and myself that 1 was to marry his
daughter, Mamie, when she was old
enough. l have vague impression
that she was in long clothes at the time
we first talked of it.
Her mother died when she was little
girl, and old Mrs. Stillman took her
home to tine family house at Owls Cor
ner, one of the prettiest little villages
l ever had the good fortune to see. But
Mamie was eighteen when 1 first met
her as a woman, and this was the scene
OF our meeting.
John had sent for me to come TO Owls
Corner on a certain July day, promising
to drive over to the station and meet me,
as my elderly legs covered the ground
but slowly. We had retired from bust
