THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

EHB 1keFs VOBUufHHs
To the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune.
LAwNDALE, Feb. 2.-The Rev. Mr.. Vos-
bureh, late Of New York, is preaching very
acceptably to the Baptists of our little town.
Pleasing and entertaining in private, he is
both Instructive and eloquent in the pulpit.
True, some of his congregation are rather
prejudiced against him, from the fact OF his
having been tried few months ago for pois
oling his wife, but when will people cease
looking for perfection in their 1nlnisters?

Splitting Wood.
Marvsville Appeal. ]

Yesterday as a commercial traveller stood in front of tie Western Hotel | shivering with cold and mentally cursing the fog, he noticed two boys busy saving and splitting wood. Their coats were of and their faces aglOw with the warmth of active youn blood The more he watched tn | steady blows of the one with the axe, the manner in which the axe and the resisting stick were swung high up and then lowered on a log SO forcibly as to open the knotty piece, the more he adlnIred 1t all At last he cOnclud- ed to try little of it himself; so,
 waiting till there were none of his ac [ quaintances near, he approached the woOdpile. The boy had dropped the | axe q minute after inserting it Tn a tough knOt-a regular pioneer. Cau- tiOusly the commercial traveller at tempted tO pry open the knot, the | hnadle serving as a lever. The mass next lifted foot or two several times without the desired result being ac- cOmplished. Then he paused, pushed | his hat we'll down on the back of his | head. spit upon his hands, and pre- | pared to make a grand stroke. The ! axe-handle was seized, up went the axe and the wood, and down they came; but alas, they had parted com
 pany. The axe cut open the bOx-toed boot, the end of the handle strucK him on the cap of the knee, and glanc- ing upward, gave him dig under tho vest. The knot was doing its share,
 too, for it descended upon the back of his head as he stopped, plowed it's way round to the front through his scalp
 lock, skinned his nose, took off half of the protruding lower lip, and dropped innOcently upon the prOstrate axe. | The commercial traveller gathered himself up, looked like he had been struck by zIgzag lightning, knocked down by hydraulic power, taken through a threshIng machine, and run over by truck. After a glance of inquiry and astOnishment at the boys near by, and one of dismay at the group watching him from across the street, he hobbled away to his room and ordered a dozen bottles of liniment. He will go back to the Bay for a week or two.

MexIeo's New Administration.

AdvlceS from the city of Mexico under date of the 4th inst. gives tho names of the new cabinet officers as follows: Foreign Affairs, Senor Mar iscsl; Treasury, F. Landers t Co. Public Works, General Porfirio Diaz Justice, F.. Montez War, General c. TrevinO; Interior, Carlos D. Gutierrez
 It will be seen that@General Diaz takes charge of Public Works, which, when we call to mind the great inter est he has taken in internal improve ments, would indicate an era of ad- vancement in our sister Republic. Diaz obtained the chief office of Mex ico by force, yet all must admit that he has made an able Chief Executive He has left the finances of Mexico in better shape than they have been for years, and this appointment to the portfolio of Public Works, backed up as it should be by the people, jnsures an era of prosperity for Mexico she has little dreamed of. Railroads will be extended south from the United States connecting with the capital of Mexico, furnishing a market tor all of their tropical fruits, and enable her to buy all the necessaTies of life, of better quality and at a lower price than she has been used to paying. We congratulate our sister nation On her cheerful outlook, and trust that the bonds of friendship between the two Republics may be strengthened, and that an interchange of commerce may prOve-as we believe it will the salvation of Mexico

Our Town.

Strangers coming to Tucson are ID the habit of falling into a very serious error in their estimates of the re- sources of Tucson. They look around before Investigating and arrive at the conclusion that the mines, together with the Sonora trade, is all we have tO support our town. Barren as the country looks 10 strangers, there is wheat enough raised in the vicinity or in the reach of Tucson 10 keep three flOUring-mills employed the year around grinding four and feed. We have also innumerable stock ranches, where more horses, mules and horned cattle are raised than can be used or consumed by the needs of Arizona, and the day Is not far distant when large numbers will be shipped to Cali fornia to supply that market with beef and draught animals. It is only necessary to examine our country tO be convinced of its permanency as a it place for homes for many thousands of people. Tucson will continue tO occupy the chief place among Arizona towns, aud if we but do our duty we shall see town spring up here second to no town on the Paciflc-always eX- cepting San Francisco.

A rapid penman can write thirty words a minute. To do this he must draw his pen through the space of a rod, sixteen and a half feet. In forty minutes his pen travels furlOng.

Writing thirty words in minute we must make 4S0 10 each minute; in an hour 2S,OO0; in a day os only i've hours, l44,OO0; in year of 300 days, 42, 100000.

An Eagles Pet

A pleasant story is told of the fla nous war eagle, " Old Abe, ' who is now repOsing upon his laurels at Mad
 isOn, Wisconsin. His daily allow
 ance Is a live chicken or some other kind of meat. The juvenile fowl is at once slaughtered by the king of birds, and eaten at his pleasure during the
 day. One day white chicken was put into his cage and in its fright crouched in one corner. Old Abe ' went up and locked at the little crea-
 ture, but did not harm it. On the contrary, he caressed il, and all day long went without his customary re past, until at night, as he would not deyour the chicken, other food was provided. In short, f Old Abe's 9 heart was won by the chicken, and it became hIs pet. He saw that it went to rOost at the proper time. and if the weather was cold spread the warm shelter of his big wing over it. Other white chickens have been thrown to him, and he never before or since failed 10 make meal of them. Some thing about this particular fowl touched hIm in a tender spot, and the theory of the survival of the fittest had a fresh illustration which does credit to the big heart of '' Old Abe. '

She was very much frightened, and the same night began tO complain of headache and chIlls The next morning she felt restless, and had an iching of the scalp. Dur ing the few following days she steadily improved, with the exception of the itching. One day, in combing her hair, she noticed that it came out in large quantities; three days latter she was perfectly bald. Her general health was good. but her head con- tinued bald, and was still SO when seen two years later by the reporter.

The New York Mining Record a,
 December f observes. ~Arizon,
 has the best record of any State or
 Territory for the amount of money in
 vested, and Is acknowledged among
 mining men as the coming country
 and that the richest silver mines in the world are found in that Territory
 and m the same range of mountains | as the many famous silver mines
 worked in Mexico for the last three or four hundred Year>. Many say it is
 hazardous. It is no more than. hun dreds of other kinds of legitimate bus tnesses, and one great proof of it is in seeing our bankers and foremost men of the country engaged in it. Cali f0rnia can boast of the richest gold mines m the world, and Nevada has had the largest silver mlnes. Take for instance the BOdie mine. that was selling for one dollar a share. a rich strike was made and in two months they paid eleven collars in dividends. and the stock went Co fifty-Odd dollars a share; the Standard mine. which has never been assessed, but paid is dividends, from fifty to seyen,v-flvc thousand a month, for years, with dIvi- dends in sight for the next five years to come. The Contention mine, in Tombstone District, ArizOns, was bought two years ago for ten thousand dollars, or ten cents a share. It k now paying scventy-tiye thousand dollars q month in dividends, with eight or ten miilious in sight, and the stock worth about seveniy-iive dollars a share. The Head Center and Grand Central mines, adjoining the Conten- tiOn, show equally favorable, but their mills are not yet ready to commence crushing the Ore.'

Tine Women of Montenegro.

The Montenegro women take an equal share of labor with the man ai field work, and she does all the car rying. In travel here one engages a horse to ride and a woman for the baggage. Only those who have neith- CT wife, mother, daughter, or depend ent female relation, shoulder such burdens as a common thing. Trans port by animals also, is department of female occupation. Coming from CettInie here, one meets pack-h horses, mules, donkeys, going up in drOyes, with gang Of women following. Ire menGOus weights they carry slung by straps that cross the upper chest, and as they go they knit or spin. These dwellers by the frontier are much bet ter looking than the unmIxed race of the interior, but not less hardy, strong and independent. They have no shame or hesitation in begging, and universal mendIcancy on the part of the women and girls must, l imagine, have it's influence on nor ality.
