AS rule, newspaper is valuable
to an advertiser in exact proportion
to its circulation but this rule is
modified in several ways. For in

little greater prominence well
printed paper naturally gives greater
prominence to its contents than one

paper has something to do with its
value as an advertising medium, and
a paper which is purchased because
it is wante ed, is much more likely to
benefit an advertiser than one which
is given. away; this is the reason
why experienced advertisers look

The Independent says, 1.-THE diff.
culties which have confronted the
President, and hitherto prevented
the success of his theory in this State
New York;. have mainly sprung
from the personal selfishness of one
man, and that one man is Roscoe
COnkling, who assumes to be the
rightful dictator of the President and
who, moreover, more than once has
shown his willingness to split and
even destroy the PARTY, if he cannot
control it for his own purposes. We
confess our hearty disgust with the
domineering assumptions of this one
man, and assure tle President that
the majority of Republicans in this
State will sustain him in exercising
the prerogatives of his Office, whether
Senator Conkling likes it or not"

One meets every day a class of peo-
pie who think they were brought in
to this world for no other purpose
than to destroy the liquor and beer
traffic-not by prohibition laws, but
by consuming these beverages faster
than they can be distilled or brewed.
And there are times when we think
that they would succeed if the distiI-
lers and brewers would only cease
distilling and brewing while they are
sleeping off their debauches. To this
class we commend the following ex-
tract from the remarks of Chief JUS
tice Parker, of Connecticut, in sem
fencing a murderer: "You sent
Daniel j. Hayes to a premature
grave, made his wife widow, and
his children fatherless. No doubt
you were stimulated to the commits
sion of the fell deed by alcoholic
liquors, the immoderato use of which
has caused more misery, more pau
perism and crime than all other
causes whatsoever. Every term of a
Criminal Court everywhere produces
abundant evidence of the truth of
these alarming facts. Let all those
who are on the downward road of
intemperance take heed by the terri
BILE illustration which your case fur
nishes of the ruinous consequences of
such course"

scholars. if you will allow me space
in your paper 1 will try to report
briefly.
This school is located about seven
miles North of Oakland, in the region
of Davis mills, hence the country is
not attractive, timber and rocks being
the objects presented to view; and
surely if there were nothing more
entertaining to the teacher than the
wild landscape, it would not be
pleasant location for teaching. But
it is. ! have never heard the people
of this neighborhood spoken of dis
paragingly, but always as being kind,
moral, charitable and good citizens
generally, and have found nothing
to the contrary, and desire heartily
to return to them my thanks for the
uniform kindness shown to me as
stranger among them during the
past winter. But praise is not alone
due to parents, for the scholars de-
serve a liberal share. Although this
school had been vorably reported
to me last fall, land the reports
were true,) yet was pleased to
soon learn that the fault was not al
together with them, and it was not
their natural disposition. They have
been studious. well-behaved, obedi-
ent, kind and respectful to me during
the winter. | believe it due to them
to make this statement in defense of
their character as school.
l have enrolled in this school SO
scholars, and have had very good
average in each term, and can truly
say that 1 have neither taug nor
known school of more intelligent
scholars. Such scholars are, ofcOurse,
easily taught, and progress is certain;
at least these scholors have progress
ed rapidly during the past Fall Win
ter and Spring terms. | believe
there are high positions in life await
ing some of these scholars, if they
but continue their studies. and
hope they will, and gradually ascend
the scale of knowledge until they
prepare themselves, for a pleasant
and profitable occupation in life.
After spending long and severe
min for ut Ixy, =
l feel loath to leave them, hut that
time has come, and | must bid them
farewell, for at least time.
In conclusion have but to again
return my thanks to the parents for
their earnest cooperation in the in
terests of the school, and to the pupils
for their kindness, obedience and re-
spect which they have eyer shown
TO me. l have done all for them that
l could, and have spared nothing to
make the schooI both pleasant and
profitable to them all, and | feel fully
compensated for what | have done
for them, with the thought that they
are all pleased with the results, and
that have succeeded in discharging
my duties to the best of my ability,
and If never have the pleasure of
teaching them again, l hope they
may secure one who will do more for
them than l have been able to do.
and that they will treat him kindly
as they have me.

How a Dog was Rebuked by a Parrot


A gentleman living near this viii
lage, says the Port Jeryis Union, has
parrot who knows good deal more
than the law allows. Last summer
a friend of his, whose name we with
hold for obvious reasons, called at his
house one day. A valuable young
dog, pointer, was With him. The
two gentlemen sat on the porch
smoking, and the parrot. which is
very tame, was seated in an interstice
in the trellis about the porch. The
dog was lying on the floor at his
masters feet, and finally his atten-
ton was called to the bird, which
was looking steadily at him. The
dog sprang up, drew on the parrot
and fastened. There he stood, still
as statue, for full three minutes,
when the parrot, with contemptu-
Gus flirt of his feathers, screamed at
him: "Go home, yOu cussed fool |"

Troubles on the Mexican Border-Attack Upon an American Camp-Killing o1 Five Men.
 TOMBSTONE, Aug. 18.-The Epitaph con
 tains the following particulars of recent bor-
 der troubles: A party consisting of Will
 liam Long, Richard Gray, William Berers,
 James Crane, Charles Snow, Thomas D.
 Clinton and Harry Ernshaw camped last Sat
 urday night in Guadaloupe Canon, about
 eleven miles east of Tom bstone and very
 near to the Mexican line. Early on Sunday
 morning the party was attacked by Medcans
 and Long, Gray, Crane, Snow and Clinton
 were killed. Berers escaped with a wound
 in the abdomen and Ernshaw got off unhurt
 amid shower of bullets. The Mexican
 party numbered from 25 to 30 men. The
 tack had been made just as the men were about getting up. One had evidently been killed while yet lying down. Crane was an outlaw and fugitive from justice. Long was about twenty-two years old and had been in that section of the country with cattle for about three months. He came to Arizona from Kansas about five months ago. He and hls father were men of large capital and have had extended experience In the stock buSl- ness. The son was bringing in some cattle for the Tombstone market when killed. The immediate cause of the killing is as follows A party of 'sRustlers" as they are called went into Mexico last month and stole some cattle. They were followed by Mexicans, who got so close upon them that they were obliged to abandon the stock. This was at point in the neighborhood of the late murder. The Mexicans took the stock and started back home, picking up such cattle as they chanced to meet. The stock was missed, and party of sixteen Americans started in pursuit, over took the Mexicans, had 8 fight with them, and retook the stock. This occurred during the latter part of July. It is probable that the recent raiders were some of the same party defeated last month.
 Great excitement prevails in Tombstone and neighborhood. A large party has been raised to avenge the murders. The Clinton ooys, whose father was among the slain, have ] slso raised body of men, numbering alto ,ether over two hundred, and very desper- ste band. They will carry the war into Mexico. Apprehension is felt for the Amer | cans in Sonore, as it will more than likely be I war of retaliation. A collision is hourly | expected. The Mexican troops are in force on 1 he line, and will repel invaders. Governor l Fremont being absent there is no head to | he American forces, and lawlessness seems 1 o be the order of the day. Serious interna- | ional com mplications will arise unless immedi- l te steps are taken to put a stop to the exist | np disorders,
