SILVER DISTRICT.
ats History.

Silver District, Yuma county.
was originally organized nearly
fitsen years ago by Col. Snively
the discoverer of gold at Pine.

that time, mining in Arizona was
confined almost entirely to Pla-

himself finally met his death at
the hands OF Apachcs. white in
search OF some legendary GOLD
fields. The few ledge. ofargenii-
ferrous galena located by Sniv-iy
and others proved valueIess in
the then condition OF the country =,
there being no market, on The
Pacific Coast, for lead ores aud mo-
apparatus for their reduction.
From this time until three years
ago the wonderful IA ines of this dis
trict have slept undisturbed, even
by the pick ofthe prospector. At
that time George Sill and Nei!s
johnson re-disc0vered the district
and located several mines. From
the old dumps they gathered
sufficient metal TO pay expenses
of prospecting. shipping the Grr
TO San Francisco. Sill, shortly af
forwards, sold out to Johnson
who yet owns some vnluabis
claims IA the district.

The Temperance Question.

You ask, in recent number ofthe
Herald, if we can do anything for
the temperance cause more than to
weep, and l suppose pray, too =?
Why, yes, bless your dear soul, for
weeping and praying only, will not
help the matter one bit. 1t will
not reform and save in heaven one
soul of the hundred thousand who
will die drunkards and, consequent
ly, go to hell this year. Then,
what of the poor widows and squalid
children? Don't wonder you felt
like weeping. Should think every
Christian would weep and pray too.
But, then, as the brother said,
something must be done all along the
line. And you ask aohat? If may
answer, l would say, when voting
time comes, let every Christian and
every philanthropist come into
line from Maine to California, from
the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the
Gulf of Mexico, and see that each
voter puts into the box clean vote
for the total and absolute prohibit
ton from the land, of the "Devils
fire. water" as | have heard natives
in Africa call it. Then something
will be done to put the vile destroy
er out of the land-and not till then.
And you see, brother, we are
working all along the line, filling
up rank and file, and, by-and-by,
you will behold, nota solid South
against a solid North, but solid
North with solid South in exter-
minating that fell destroyer Of body
and soul. Then we will invite all
nations to join us, and we will do
them good.

so. for we wouldn't be like those
Athenians for anything in the
world. Wv,
Now. what have we donel We've
zone and thrown great big stone
at those miserable sinners OF the
past, without ever having asked
ourself whether we were entlreiy
without the same sin. 1t might be

fore any body else throws any

can at any hour of the day enter
the humble home, or the lordly
mansion of the more favored classes
and instruct them and teach them
the way Of Life, without exciting
suspicious or jealousies, Thus this
grand field opens up to them, and
by the blessing of God grand
work has been accomplished in the
short space of three years, and the
aim of this Society is to push this
work until the heather shall be
made the inheritance of our blessed
Christ, and until His Kingdom
shall be established in all the earth.
III. This brings us to the final
"aim" or end-our own salvation.
The question is not, Can the heath
en- be saved without the Gospel +?
But, can we be saved without send
ing them the Gospel? 1t is not for
us to inquire how they became
heather, or of what nationality
they are; or of what shade is the
pigment that underlies the epider-
mis- and gives color to the counte-
nance, whether it be red, ash-color-
ed or black? But the questions
for us to determine are, Are they hui
man beings? Have they immortal
souls? Did Christ die for them,
and are they not, equally with us,
entitled to eternal life? And may
not we permit our prejudices to pre-
vent us from doing our duty and
therefore forfeit our right to eternal
life, and lose our own souls? Here
many make very grave mistake,
and honestly plead their own supe-
riority of race as an objection to the
work, when the very fact of SUI
periority is the most potent reason
why we should enter upon the
work. For God has brought us up
from the mire and clay and placed
our feet upon the. safe rock Of Cos
pei truth. And now he demands Of
us that we reach out the helping
hand to the fallen and debased and
lift them up. And a failure upon
our part is a sin in the sight Of God 4;
and with that resting upon us, the
blood of those whom we might have
saved, crying against us at the
judgment-bar will be our eternal
overthrow.
Then we hold that it is the duty
of every christian woman, as.she
values her sex, as she values her
soul, as she values the favor of God
and the welfare of blood-bought
souls, for whom Christ died, to do
what she can to save the world Of
mankind. Hence the Grand Aim
of this Society, to glority God and
save souls, to the end that we our
selves may be saved.
May God give every Christian
woman grace to do her duty and a
crown of Life in Heaven at last!
Respectfully submitted.

ICED FRUITs.-Take fine punches
of currants on the stalk, dip them
in gum arabic water, or the whites
of eggs well beaten lay them on a
seive, sift white sugar over and let
them dry. They are very nice for
desserts or the tea-table. Bunches of

done in the same way.

Miscellaneous Matters.

The beer product of California has swol-
len from thirteen million gallons in 1875
to nearly twice that number in 1880. Fiji
teen thousand five hundred bales of hops
were grown on the Pacific coast in 1880.
Mount Washington had, for it, heated
term for August. The mean temperature
was three degrees higher than for any Aug
ust since 1872. Rain fell on twenty one
days during the month. There were but two
clear days, while fog prevailed for sixteen
DAYS. The total rain fall was 11.96 inches.
At midnight of the 31st gentle breeze was
blowing at the rate of ninety miles an hour.
A New Jersey banker, robbed of his
watch and chain, advertised reward OF
800 and mo questions asked" The other
day he received reply, asking him to call
at O saloon in West Broadway, where nego-
tiations for the transfer Of the purloined
goods would be entered into, There he
met two men. He paid them 500 and was
handed in return the gold watch and chain.
At that moment Detectives Handy and
Forgarty, who were lying in wait watching
the transaction, bounced upon the two men
and took them to the station house.
New York paper recently advised an
enquirer who was in great poverty and de-
spair to "black boots, offer himself as

commenting on this advice says: That is

Democracy Rising i'm Europe.

From Letter to the Pail Mall Gazette
Wherever we look-whether to Russia,
whose ruler is himself living in a state Of
seige at the hands of his own subjects; to
Germany, where harmless men are being
treated with the utmost rigor because the
master of the country knows that even
peaceful combination would overthrow the
whole janissary system; to Ireland, where,
in spite of Austrian modes Of repression,
we are obliged to confess that force has
proved worse than no remedy-on every
side we see that the old methods are hope
less TO keep back the rising tide of democ-
racy. Only where full freedom is allowed
is there any hope of a peaceful issue in the
long run. Mere agitation for universal suf
frage, as in Belgium and Italy, or isolated
demonstrations, as at Barcelona, may mean
little in themselves. But all over Europe
at the present time the people are feeling
their way to common action, which, though
checked here and there by national jeal-
ousies and hatreds, can have but one end
ing--the overthrow of the monstrous mill
tarism which now weighs upon the CONT

there men in every country who regard al
political movements with view to socia
objects, and certainly never before in hi@-
tory have the people had such opportunities
for joint action for the common good.

Mr.. Webster used to tell with great zest
an incident in his professional life to Illus
trate how past studies may prove of great
service in an emergency. While practicing
in New Hampshire, blacksmith employed
him to defend contested will. The case
VAS such a complicated one that he was
obliged to order books from Boston at an
expense of fifty dollars in order to acquaint
himself with and to settle the legal princi-
Piles involved. He won the case, and as the
sum involved was small, scharged fifteen
dollars for services, and was therefore large

Mr.. Webster listened, and found the
principles identical with his early CASE
He stated them in such luminous way
that Mr.. Burr excitedly asked, "Have you
been consulted before, Mr.. Webster"
"No, sir, never heard of the case till you
mentioned it.
How is itpossible that you could unravel
such a case atsight, when have given many
hours of anxious study to itin vain?"
Mr.. Webster enjoyed his perplexity, but
finally relieved him by statement of the
facts. A great sum of money was at stake,
and Mr.. Webster received fee Of one.

loss.
The moral for this incident is that what
