'Tis far too nice and clean.
No tops, by careless fingers strewn,
Upon the floor are seen.
No finger marks upon the panes,
No scratches on the chairs.
No wooden men set up in rows
Or marshaled of in pairs.
No little stockings to be darncd,
All ragged at the toes.

No little troubles to be sOOthed,
No little hands to fold.

No nicknames Love" or Mouse"
No merry froliGs after tea,
No baby in the housc.

The Bullion Tax and Its Application,

The Bullion Tax and Its Application.
 Among those engaged in actual mining, there is much objection 10 the tax on bullion. Mining is the leading industry and on its successful prosecution the prosperity ofnearly all other pursuits In Arizona depend. Especially is this true as regards gen. eral merchandising, skilled labor pur- suits and litigation. IL seems strange tha; the law imposing il should have been passed, and it will he equally strange if the next Legislature fails to repeal it. The mining companies pioneer the business of building moun- lain roads, and this is notably true in Pima county. Their enterprise and necessities have compelled them to build expensive roads, and that, too, before they could complete tLelr mills and make bullion to tax. As an ex- ample familiar to most of our readers in Pima county, ihe Tombstone Mill and Mining Company has built at its own expense, one of the most travelled and necessary roads in the county, viz: Between Tombstone and tLe Huachuca mountains. Much of the wood and lum Der for Charleston, Tomb stone and adjacent settlements come over this road; two or three lines Of stages carrying mails, express and passengers, and all travel and trans portaiion between Tombstone, Mill vile, Charleston and the country westward pass over II. A part of the bullion tax is set apart for building roaus, and on application of those most interested for portion Of this tax 10 build q bridge across the San Pedro, on this same important thor oughfare, was refused by the Super visors as we are credibly informed. As the bullion tax thus far has mainly come from those who built that very expensive and necessary road, and who in common with thou sands of others need bridge across the river at Charleston, the refusal of the Board of Supervisors WIS not just the thing-in fact was wrong. Per haps there is not greater need ot a bridge in Pima county than at that point. The place must always be q prominent crossing. During the pres ent summer a valuable span of mules and n livery team were drowned for want of bridge there. I,would be n particularly right application of the bullion tax, If enough of it were ap- propriated to build @ solid bridge at the point indicated. What good
 reasons, if any, the Supervisors have for not SO applying il, is difficult to l understand.

Einc Residences.

The CITIZEN halls with delight the evident desire on the part of our leading people to beautify their homes and to build residences more in ac- cord with their positions and wealth. The example set by NIT. Davis and Colonel H. TUole, and followed so closely by Messrs. PomrOy, Brown, Otis, Stiles and others, is good one, and all these gentlemen have their houses decorated in the most practical and unmistakable manner of their faith n the future of Tucso-, and the interest they take in her welfare.
 Among others who now contemplate building beautiful homes in Tucson is Alr. B. Salazar, the well-known assayer, who has had plans arranged for splendid residence on Military Plaza, near Judge Woods tasteful home. MT. Sslazar's house is to cost $7.5OO, and will be in the Eastlake design, single story, seven large rooms, bay windows, front and rear porch, Lath rooms, closets, aud all ihe mod ern devices for convenience and com fort. It will be built in accordance with plans furnished by NJ. A. Patti ami, the architect, and under that gen. tleman's supervision. It is MT. Sala- zar's intention to make it one of the prettiest places in Arizona, and the CITIZEN conGratulates him on his prospective success-if the plans of MT. Pattiani are to be accepted as a criterion.
 Prof. J. R. James has also been inn proving his property on Camp street, above Convent, both inside and out, and the neat and tasteful front of his building adds much to the appearance of the street.

 Globe Ia at last bound to the rest of the civilized world by the electric wire. When we first came to this camp, three years ago, few adobe houses, and here and there an age stained prospectOr's tent were all there wereto give promise of the Globe of to-day, with it's brick and wooden stores and houses, which have sprung, and are sull springIng, like magic from the ground. That we have paid 8 cents a pound for bacon which often enough had only it's strength 10 recOm- mend il; 90 cents for sugar, 50 cents for coffee in the bsan, 9 cents for beans, $l0 hundred for flour, and well, we couldn't buy canned goods at all. Now it is changed; the mUl- tilude of stores, all well stocked, makes competition keen; the cOmpara- lively near vicinity of the railroad has reduced freIghts, and we can live nearly as well for the same money as they can anywhere in the Territory. To-day we have population in the town alone of about 700, and very few idle people are amohg them; evil dences of prosperity are everywhere, and the people are content. Many of the comforts and convenlences en- loved by older communities are no longer strange 10 us, and the latest of these conveniences is the electric tele- graph. The people of Globe will re- alize the value of :hIs line when they find themselves able to talk business to mIne buyers anywhere on the con tinent in few hours.

 Railroad advertising is becoming more and more an art, and no road Is demonstrating il to clearer purpose than the Baltimore & Ohio. To com bine quiet and unobtrusive advertis- ing of the advantages of line with information of such value as 10 make one forget the fact that it is an adver- tisement, IS indeed clever thing, and it is just this that is accomplished by the B. < 0. Red Book. Various roaus from time to time have essayed the publication of political statis ;cs, but as rule they have been the work of simply copying. It has reHn ned for the B. & 0. to prepare and sue little work which, for eXhau i've information, for concise stateincr ,'f results, and for handy and instant ref erencc, is uneQualed to-day by any of the more pretentious and complicated | text books. IL gives for each : ate | just what man wishes to know at a 1 glance. The vote of either party for | President in 1876, with total vote, ma- ! jority and electoral vote. The vote of each party at the latest State election, with total vote and majority. The | political complexion of the Legisia- ture, Senate and House Tn each State, | and if United States Senator is to be elected it is so stated. The result in every Congressional District is set forth, and in foot-no facts and fig ures are gwen in such shape as to ad- | init of perfect conception of the sii
 uation in the different districts. To wind up with the population of the | State in 1870 is shown. and the vote for President in 1879 given, with the ratio of the total vote 10 the p"pula- ton of 1870. The latest Obtainable facts from the Census Bureau are noted and an estimate made of Ihe 1 probable vote of each State this fail.
 IL is evident that much time has been spent upon the compilation and gen details, and as it was the labor of d former we'll known journalist of large experience in political statistics, it's correctness IS beyond question. There is not the slightest vestige of partisan bias Tn the book, figures and facts being stated without cOloring or com meni. The little work is gem typo graphically, being from the press of Knight X Leonard, Of this ely. The cover is an exquisite thing. the design and engraving being by the American Bank Note Company of New York. Throughout it is an exceedingly ele-
 gant and artistic book, the tiue and perfect taste displayed being certainly we'll worthy Of emulation. The Red
 Book Is not on sale, but can be had for he mere trouble of making the request for it to C. K. Lord, of Balti- more, Md. A postal card or note to that gentleman will he followed by the prompt receipt of Ihe boak, which is beyond sll comparison the handiest and most comprehensive political text book of Ihe campaign.

The Queen and The wAlf.

Silk sud diamonds and trailing lace Naughty earriscc and fair proud face; outfrOn the palace towering high, Grand and bray meath the bending sky; Ger the lawn with its carpet green, Lightly stepping came AusIria's Queen, Flashing gems h. The summer sun. Jewels gleam on her royal hands, Clasp her arms with their shining bands Sparkle and grow where the sunbeams fall But the most precious of them all The nurse Is holding with tender care The royal baby rosy and fair;
 Pressing fond kisses on cheek and brow, The Queen is only 4 mother now. Down the lawn in it's shadow deep, A began woman lies asleep.
 Hunger, poverty, pain and care Darken the face once young and fair; There by the wayside seeking rest, Ciasping babe upon her breast, Its hungry wall across the green SJirs the heart Of the mother Qnecn. Down on the green grass. kneeiing low, Barring her bosom white as snow, LayInga child without name Where only royal babies have lain, Feeding it from her own broad breast, Hungry, staryins-ah, there's the test. Mother love spans the chasfn wide; Quecn and station mast stand aside.

Rochester Union and Advertiser.
 The following lines will touch a sympathetic cord in many hearts: @ 1 saw my wife pull out the bottom drawer of the old bureau this even ing, and went softly out and wan dered up and down until l knew she had shut il and gone to her sewing.
 Me have some things laid away in that drawer which the gold of kings could not buy, and yet they are relics which grievc us until both our hearts are sore. l haven't dared 10 look al them for year; but 1 remember each article. They are two worn shO's, little chip hat with par, of the rim gone. some stockings, pants, coat, two or three spOols, bits of broken crockeTy, whip and several toys.
 Wife, poor thing, goes 10 that drawer every day Of her life, and prays over il, and lets her tears fall upon the precious articles, but dare not go.
 Sometimes we speak of little Jack,
 but not often. IL has been a long time, but somehow we cant get over grieving. Sometimes, when we sit alone Of an evening, l writing gnd she sewing, X child ID the streeet will cali out as our boy used to, and we will both start up with beating hearts
 and wild hope, oRly 10 find the darkness more of burden than ever.
 IL is still and quiet now. l look up 10 the window where his blue eyes
 used to sparkle at my coming, but he is not there. l listen for his paitering feet, his merry shout, and his ringing laugh, but there is DO sound. There is no one to search my pockets and
 tease me for presents, and never find the chairs turned over, the broom down, or ropes tied to the door r-knobs. l want some one tO tease me for my
 knife, to ride on my shoulder, 10 l'se my axe, 10 follow me 10 the gate
 when go, and 10 be there to meet
 me when 1 come; to call good ! night ? from the little bed now empty. And wife she misses him still n4ore. | There are no little feet tO wash, no ! prayers to say, no voice teasing for | Jumps of sugar, or sObbing with the | pain of hurt toe; and she would give | her own life, almost, 10 awake at midnight and look across 10 the crib and see OUT hoy there as he used 10 be. l So we preserve our relics, and when ! We are dead we hope that strangers
 will handle them Ienderly, even if | they shed no tears over them.
