A very extraordinary person has been dis covered in Washington. He Is the public printer, and during the last fiscal year Le returned to the Treasury an undraHn &3l, 375 of the appropriation made for him, in- stead of expendiug it. Nothing has been said yet regarding his sanity, but an office holder with crank of this sort will certainly be considered by the grea; band of office holders an unsafe person at large. But his disease has never been found to be conta- xious. us.-Stockholder

We are informed from Prescott that Chief Justics French, presiding in the Third Ju. dicial District, has cleared the docket in Yavapai county of all its criminal cases, and that each of the parties against whom in dictments were found by the Grand Jury have been convicted of the crimes charged against them. This is an encouraging feature of the administration of justice in the district within the limits of which at this time there arc too many rough and reckless men on account of the building of the At lantic & Pacific Railroad The balances of Justice in the hands of judge so thorough ly learned in the law and so scrupulously honest as l, cur Chief Justice will ever be made to assume an equitable boise. Nor will the expense. of his district he permitted to assume an unreasonable proportion. He very wisely manages t0 arrange the business Of his court 60 as to accomplish the most work to the least possible time; even carry ing the exercises of the court into the even ing where economy of time and court ex- pense would sesm to dictate such course. -Phenix Herald.

 As to its contents, this numser IS an ex- ceptionally interesting one. James 0 Mera continues his series of biographical sketches in .n article upon the well-kncxn frontiers man Capt. Aubrey. Walter Frsar con tributes a timely paper upon the labor sys- ten which prevails in the Hs" aiisn Islands. F. F. Bedding has an able coIsSribution en- titled ''Ilsmigrst'on, anu How to Promote it," and c. T. Hopkins, an article upon the ''Rsstoration of American Shipping.

Now that railroad from Prescott to the out,ide world IS q settled fact, it IS proper that a meeting should be called and citizens aud capitalists discuss the Propriety of erect inv reduction works at or neEr Prescott. There are hundreds of small gold bearing ledges in our many mining districts winch would not justify man, from surface indi- cations, in building extensive works, mills. etc. 10 develop their worth, but stili would pay a niacr to work and have the ore crushed, if a mill were near by, and in this way he would not only Z,ake good wages but would stand tho chance cf striking II 'trich." Helena, Mon;.n, few years ago. was cut of from the commercial centres just as Prescott is today. She had good mines and other res,uscss, but H-s so .solated that Eastern men corld not be induced to come in and develop them. Her citzens, reallz- ing this, went to work, incorporated com pany and put up Ie lucti0n work. The re- suit Is that Helona is now one of the best bullion producing camps in the country Such, too, may he said of many ether proml- nent camps on the Pacific Coast. The mer- chants of Prescott have shown their enter prise in subscribing to the fund for building tho branch road, and VIC believe that If ac ton were taken towards the erection of re- duction works, they would subscribe lber' ally.

ENeLAND's SYMPATHY.

Rarely, indeed, has any political event
in foreign country caused so much
sensation among the English people of
all classes as has been produced by the
murderous attack upon the President OF
the United States. While l write, it is
still question whether General Gar
fields constitution will be able to carry
him through his terrible ordeal and it
is no exaggeration to say that the sue
cessive kilograms are looked for here
with rs much interest and excitement us
if one of our own most prominent
statesmen were lowering on the narrow
line between life and death.
Americans in England at the present
time-and their name is legion-will
have an opportunity Of seeing how real
and genuine is the sympathy between
the two peoples, and will, it may be
hoped, aid in disaDusing the minds OF
too many of their countrymen who still
think that England looks upon her
grown-up daughter with envy and sus-
picion, il not with absolute dislike. MIR.
Gladstone hit the right nail on the head
when he said in the House of Commons,
on the Fourth of July, that he believed
that the friendship Of the people OF the
United States for us was increasing
year by year. ,
Politicians and caricaturists may, and
probably will. do n good deal yet to
estrange the two greatest English-speak-
ing countries, but the people themselves
are learning to know each other, and
with knowledge comes respect. One
thing is certain that in the present sad
crisis, England's heartkbeats. with Am
erica's, and Americas grief and indig-
nation find their echo everywhere among
us.--HouSehOld Words.

LIrEls EXPERIENCE.

Faith, like light, should ever be
simple and unbending while love, like
warmth, should beam forth on every
side and bend to every necessity,
No man can ever be made secure from
sin by having temptation kept from him,
or by resolving to keep himself from
temptation. He is safe only when he is
strong enough to overcome it,
1t is not q question as to whether a
man may or may not have objects OF
beauty; it is not required that n man
should make himself hermit in the
desert. A man has q right to wealth
and all that it produces, but no man has
q right to hold them selfishly and shut
others out from their enjoyment.
We measure truth by our narrow
standards, and, because we cannot COM
prehend it, We fear it may come short
Let us rather measure ourselves by Its
grand proportions and try humbly
to grow up to it. Whatever else we
lose faith in, let us hold fast to the truth
wherever we can find it, assured that in
it lie all power, all goodness, and all
permanence.
Original work requires enthusiasm. II
all the original work done by men under
forty.five was annihilated, they would
be reduced to barbarism. Men are at
their best at the time when enthusiasm
and experience are almost evenly bal
anced. This period, on an average, is
from twenty-eight to forty. After this,
the law is that experience increases, but
enthusiasm decreases. Of course there
are exceptions.

terror At the meeting ard Charlie had
been so completely cured OF his flirting
propensities by the terrible ordeal
through which he had passed, that Miss
iiossman saw II was useless to exert her
iaseinations further, Husband and vile
understood each other nov,
That night Mrs, Winters sat thinking
a long time, and Charlie thought he
knew what she was thinking about, Az
length she reused and said
"Charlie, Ill admit that q woman

NEW TESTAMENT,
aArERIlL usRpuM RECONSTRUCTION.

All We have to depend upon Tor ON
translaiiOns Of the New Testament are
eOIies, ancient versions, translallonH,
and the quotations made by the fathers
Of tho church, The manuscripts ol The
New Testament are OF two kinds-the
uneial, tho oldest class Of manuscripts,
written In capitals aud without punctu'
alton, and tho "curslye" manuscripts,
30 called from their being written IN a
running hand that began TO be used ~
the 10th century, Those OF the old
class we're written between the 4th end
10th centuries, tho others after the 10Th
century, OF the old there are one hun
dred aud thirty In existence OF the
new about ono thousand five hundred
The very old and very valuable manu-
scripts are only five, OF these, the
Alesandrian Codex was originally dis
covered at Alexandria, and was sent to
King Charles ! In 1923, II IL now IN
the British museum, Nothingis known
OF the origin Of this but II IL usually
assigned TO the middle OF the 9th cen
tury II IL much mutilated, twenty,
four chapters OF the first Gospel, two OF
the fourth, aud eight OF ono OF tho
Epistles being missing, The next Is
the Vatican manuscript, supposed to
have been written In the 4th century
A copy Of this was never made WI leOs'
when facsimile was issued. The con
dition OF this Ia much more perfect,
The third manuscript IL that IN the
national library at Paris, whittier II was
brought by Catherine dc Medici, This
had been overwritten - that IN, the
parchment had been used for ether
writings; but, In spite OF that, the
original has been deciphercd. II IL as
signed to the early part OF the 9th cen
tury. Tho fourth manuscript is thai
now at Cambridge. This IL tho least
valuable, as IL IL much mutilated. II
belongs to the 9th century, The manu-.
script found in 1874 in the convent OF
st. Catherine on Mt. Sinai by Wschen'
dori, and copied by him in 1853, is the
most valuable CT the five, as 1t contains
the New Testament complete. This Is
supposed TO have been written in the
4th century. None OF these most valu-
able authorities were consulted in any
of the past English versions OF the Bi-
bic, even in making that Of King Jamess
time. The Latin Vulgate, the plentiful
cursive manuscripts, aud the tnnsla'
tions were used.

ABOUT GAMBLING.

Stock gambling should never alarm
the solid interests Of the country. The
gamblers prey upon each other when
they are not preying upon dupes who 60
in to beat them at their own games,
Fluctuations are to be expected. The
winner of to-day may lose tomorrow.
The dupes themselves are gamblers as
far as they know how to be. The pro-
fessional experts plan and play crises
for the transfer of ducats from ones
pocket to the others, and while disaster
may, and often does, overtake one set
or the other-the bulls or the bears
there is no reason why the industrial
interests of the country should take on
a panic and rush in among the crumb-
ling ruins. Railroads, ships, manutac-
lures, machinery, labor, cotton bales,
corn, wheat, bacon, and ready cash that
stands from under, are too solid and
self.reliant for panic and can not be
stampeded but the people are easily
impressed, and not unfrequently be-
come cranky from the flashes of tinan,
cial lightning they see at distance
lightning that is generated in the stock
boards and intended by one set Of oper-
ators to strike the other. The people
and their industries have only to stand
aloof and pursue their avocations, to
escape the crash CT the thunderbolt.

RAPID GROWTH,

The official census returns OF the king
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, show
the population to be 35, 245, ,562, not in.
cluding colonies and dependencies, OF
course. This is a growth of 8, 800, 900 in
ten years, and the British newspapers
are much delighted over it. But com,
parison of the growth of the United
States in the same time is enough to
silence their congratulations and re-
mind them that one of their own states
men has declared that this country is
passing theirs at canter.
OF the so, 1872, 500 inhabitants of the
United States, nearly 100000 have
been gained within the last ten years,
making our growth almost four times as
rapid as that of Great Britain and Ire
land. The immigration of six such
years as the present, would be sufficient
of itself to equal the increase indicated
in the British census returns for the last
ten years. In the year 1000, only nine
teen years away, the population of
the kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land will probably be but little more
than half that of the United States.

RESPECTABLE JOURNALISM.

It may be asked, what constitutes
"printable" news? Everything that is
likely to interest, from the prince to the
vagrant. A journal may follow this
rule, taking care, however, to carefully
reject that which pleases only the de-
praved taste, and always maintain its
dignity. 1t need not, in its efforts to
catch the fancy OF the masses, burrow
into the mires of disreputable sensa-
tionalism. Honest facts that are clean,
well written about, and grouped under
attractive headlines, make the kind OF
reading matter that first-class journal
lists should strive to give their patrons.
They may lose their hold on the people
of degraded tastes, but that loss will be
amply compensated by recognition
from the very people to reach whom
should be the aim of every respectable
writer.--Ner York Mail.

NICE COOKERY,

The most ancient vegetation of the
world was ferns in the coal age they
were the only species of plant that
fiourished, but they were ferns indeed,
very different from their diminutive de-
scendants of to-day tall fellows, grow
ing to hight of thirty and even fortv
feet in dense and swampy jungles, in All
atmosphere surcharged with carbonic
acid gas. It is strange that the last en-.
deavor to provide food for the ill-fed
masses of Europe has taken the form of
inquiry into the possibilities of convert.
ing the tender ferns of the woods and
forests into edible vegetables. We may
soon hear of the modern ferns supply
ing man with food as those Of the past
have with warmth in the shape Of coal.
It is needless to say that the idea Of
cooking ferns originated with a French
man; "fern omelette" is suggestive
of dainty frying-raas and artistic cook
ing.
