All have witnessed death bed scenes and
felt that if skill were equal to disease
death might have been postponed many
years ago-that science (if use were made
of all the agencies she has revealed) was
equal 10 cure.
How many lime in the experience Of all

There is no reason, however, why the

of the country, the activity of her sur

for recovering lost health and retaining
the same are greater than those of any
other land on the lace Of the globe. By
a careful observance of the plain and

over daily habits and duties, and by
regulation Of the life with the remedy
above named, which is so prominent

the desirable things we have mentioned
aay not be secured in their highest
degree. 1t is therefore matter of i'm

ARIZONA SENTINEL
SATURDAY, NOVENBER5, 1881.

Artemus Ward tells "A story o.
a frontier rough who killed q man
one day, and who also asserted
that he was a gentleman. The
narrative closes with the Observa-
ton by the author that no ore
denied the allegation, since IT,
would hardly seem likely that a
man would lie about himself on
such an unimportant subject.
The present writer once wit
messed a scene between a dry
goods clerk and a woman who
was vigorously asserting that she
was lady. The clerk had too
much native politeness to cOuIra-
diet her; but+wh&r he thought,
when for an imagined mistake in
making change she struck him
with her parasol, was quite AT
other thing. We do not remem-
her of having seen it stated in
any OF the memoirs of Chester
field that he ever felt called upon
to make that assertion in regard
to himself; and to those who 50
often bolster themselves up by a
declaration of their quality, tina;
old advice of the clergyman to his
son is pertinent indeed: My son,

up with the feelings and IL stinctS
of gentleman: Let your actions
alone be the indicators of my sue
cess; for the moment your mouth
declares it, you publish TO the
world that l may Lave failed"

According to the Miner the
wool industry of Northern Ariao-
ma is taking an important Place
along side of the most formid able
enterprises. Sheep can be
brought to the Territory from
either direction and herded upon
the fine, juicy grasses, so abun
dant. The increase is estimated
at 20 per cent. The wool of 1900
sheep will more than pay the eX-
pense of herding, etc, therefore
it will be seen at a glance that
here is a chance for safe and re-
aunerative investment,

For once the Eastern press has
had\the decency to put Arizona
affairs IN a proper light, as will
be seen by the following specs
men from the Boston Post: "The
removal or Withdra wal of General
Fremont, nominally governor of
Arizona. has not come any too
soon. Absentee andIords5are bad
enough, but absentee governors
are worse, and General Fremont
HIS helped to swell the list that
has disguised not only the people
Of Arizona but the people of the
whole country AS well. While
the settlers in that new Territory
have been struggling against
great odds, and beset with great
anxiety, General Fremont has
been taking his ease at fashiOna-
bic watering places, and paying
no attention to the duties which
he was sent to look into. It is
time that the United States gov
eminent cut itself loose from this
man forever. He was never an
eminent man, but Of late years he
has become conspicuousIy negli-
gent in affairs. He stands to the
governorship about as Buffalo
bill stands TO a seat in the legis-
Iature of Nebraska"

For Young Men.

Here is something for boys to make note
of: The medical examiner of one of the
great life-insurance companies, who is not a
total-abstainer, in talking about the use of
liquor the other day said substantially this
" Young men frequently make application
for insurance who testify, in answer to the
inquiry on the blank which they are re-
quired to fill, that they take glass now
and them or words to that effect. No such
applicant ever gets insured by me- throw
him out in a minute. He who takes glass
now and then when he is young is pretty
sure to take it oftener as he grows older,
and the effect upon his health is almost GER
tain to be injurious in the extreme. Speak
ing simply as Psychologist, and not as a
moralist at all, say that no person can af-
ford to touch liquor before he is twenty-five
years old. The young man who takes
social glass now and then is bad risk
for any life-insurance company.'-Sunddy-

What Liquor Can DO.

In Philadelphia, in a respectable neigh
borhood, there is block of fourteen houses.
In these houses there are eleven families
that use Intoxicating liquor as a beverage.
There are fourteen men and eleven women
who indulge. Five families have been so
reduced by its use that they are hard y able
10 obtain the necessaries of life. There are
Two taverns in the block, and one on each
corner opposite each end of the block. One
man has spent fair fortune in this indul-
gence. 1t has nearly cost the lives of three
men and two women. Two of the men

Hayes on the Assassination.

Our national anniversary, by the awful
tragedy at Washington, has been changed
from day of rejoicing to day of sorrow.
the place of Joy and gladness. The full
measure of calamity is known only to the
Divine Being, whose intelligence and power
are infinite Upon that Being we must
rely for the consolation and support which
in this hour are so much needed by our be-
loved president, by his distressed wife and
family and by all of his relatives, friends
and countrymen. No human forecast can
penetrate the mystery of this supreme ca
lamity. The wounded president and his
suffering and anxious wife and children,
and his aged and widowed mother, are in
all our thoughts, in all our hearts and in all
our prayers. Saturday morning opened
brightly before them with the anticipated
happiness of a trip to the Hudson, to the
loved college of the president at Williams
town, and to the bracing air and inspiring
scenery of the mountains of New England.
Now we see only the pail of suspense and
gloom which rests upon the family circle,
stricken and weeping at the bedside of the
patient and heroic sufferer. This is con-
trast in the presence of which all words are
weak and vain. Silent sympathy and earn
est and fervent prayers are all the help
that we can offer and give In the interest
of free institutions and humanity the crisis
demands the faithful discharge of grave and
high duties by the people. The calamity,
great as it is, which has befallen President
Garfield, and through him our whole coun-
try, may be vastly increased by hasty and
inconsiderate declarations of opinions in re-
gard to it. If the horrible assault upon the
president was the insane act of single ir-
| responsible person, as it certainly seems to
have been, how unjustly the good name of
our country would suffer by even suspicion
that it was due in any degree to the selfish
ness or evil passions of party or faction.
Insanity is in every civilized community
the frequent cause Of fearful tragedy. Such
| calamities are found among all classes of
people, in private as well as in public life,
| and, like the commissions of nature, are be-
yond human control President Garfield
and his family have the warm and full sym
pathy of every American heart. Our couu-
| try in this crisis is harmonious and united.
1t is one in sentiment and feeling.
trust that President Garfield, whose courage
and self-possesson in his extreme agony are
so admirable, will be permitted to see with
unclouded vision that on this anniversary
of the birthday of the republic it is the
united and ardent wish and prayer of every
American in every state and section and
party that he may soon be restored to health
and strength adequate to the performance
of the duties of the high office to which he
has been called.
