PIusfu q Bible.


Il was an old Bible, family Bible, q
well-worn Bible-the Bible of an old
lady who had read it, and walked by it,
and fed on it, and prayed over it for a
long lifetime. As she grew older and
older, her sight began to fail, and she
found it hard to find her fayorite verses.
But she could not live without them, so
what did she do? She stuck pin in
them one by one, and after her
death they counted one hundred and
sixty-eight. When the people came to
see her, she would open her Bible, and
feeling over the page after her pin would
say, "Read there or "Read here;'
and she knew pretty we'll what verse
was stuck by that pin and what by this
pin. She could say indeed Of her
precious Bible, IT love thy command,
ments above gold; yea, above fine gold
they are sweeter than honey and the
honeycomb."

Twenty.three Days In an Open Boat

An able seaman named Michel Villa
has arrived at Liverpool from San
Francisco. Villa was one Of the crew Of
the British ship Milton, which was
burned at sea whilst going from Shields
to San Francisco with coal. From his
statement it appears that the vessels
cargo caught fire. So fierce did it
burn that there was nothing left for
the crew but to make arrangements
for leaving the ship. There were
three boats launched in charge
respectively of the master Captain
M'Arthur), the chief officer and the
second Office. In the captains boat
were eight persons, Including the cap
tain's wife and two children, the re-
naming two boats containing eight and
seven of the crew respectively. The
captain gave each boat the course to
steer, and told them all to keep to-
gether. The mates boat was a large
one, but not go good sailer as the
other two, so that she was soon out
distanced. When abandoned their
vessel was some 1900 miles from San
Francisco, and 1,400 miles from the
nearest shore. Day and night suc-
ceeded each other without bringing any
change or even hope to the shipwrecked
people. Villa was in the vessels
gig, which contained seven men.
and the boat was toe
small to admit of any thorough sleep
being obtained. Ten days had passed
since they left their vessel, and the two
fragile craft were still in company
For the first week biscuir1 day wss
doled out along with some preserved
meats, but the second week it was found
necessary to curtail this supply to hal
a biscuit per diem per man. The tenth
| day was the last Villa and his comrades
saw the captains boat, as, when the
following day dawned, she was nowhere
in sight. Two days later the gi7 losI
the southern trades and encountered
bad weather, during which she had to
lay to before the sea. This danger passed,
although while it lasted the poo,
fellows expected each succeeding houl
to be their last. On entering on the
third week the allowance of biscuit was
further reduced. On the nineteenth
day the provisions and water gave ont, sc
that the men were faced with death from
starvation or thirst. Weakness was now
gradually but surely overcoming them,
and every moment made their condition
worse. When twenty-three days passed
their hearts were gladdened by the sight
of vessels light, the first craft they had
seen since their own had become the prey
| of the fire. The oars were got out, and
the men pulled as desperately as thei,
weakness would permit. They blew q
foghorn which they had in the boat,
and also burnt some oakum saturated
in ter. The vessel answered by putting
out pinnacle light. The newcomer,
which proved to be the Cochin, OF
Greenook, backed her yards, and soon
had the seven shipwrecked men on
board, and was again on her course for
San Francisco.

RuiBinQ Calves.

A writer in the american Dairynnan
gives his way of bringing up a calf as
follows: Take the calf from the mother
at two or three days old. Learn i to
drink milk. Skim laaiiilk laiikk Is best, if not
soure11. It makes bone more rapidly.
Have it the natural warmth Of the cows
milk when drawn. Give two quarts IN
the morning, one at noon and two at
night the first two weeks. Increase the
feed as the calf gets older, as Joar
Judgment dictates. At ten weeks old
l4e-oan stand eight quarts at meal,
if he can get it, and will grow proper
tionately. Should he'scour, which he
will if not fed regularly, or the feed is
too hot or too cold, or the milk is sour.
or the cali was not healthy from the
start, give him pint of hay tea after
every meal until cured. If it is a
spring calf keep him in the barn until
the middle of September. The hot sun
of summer months is detrimental to
calves. See that his bed is cleaned every
day, and use good, clean straw for bed
ding, but never swamp hay or sawdust.
Have box of wheat bran where he car
lap it from the commencement; also fresh
water. He will soon learn to use these
also wisp of coarse upland hay. The
first winter give roots, apples; indeed,
you may give sliced apples when three
months old. Do not feed corn meal the
frat year, and always feed the mill
clear, and after nine weeks you need mol
heat it, and it is not absolutely neces
sary to feed it after thai age il not con.
venient, but feed shorts until at least
six months old. Veal calves should
have all the milk they can take unit.
six weeks old. After they make bone
and the outlets lose their fine flavor il
is no longer veal in its true sense.
In conclusion, let me gay, commence
to train calves the firsG week; give them
q name; they will learn it; teach then
to lead and oil you wish them to know
they will not forget it.

Other specimens have since been added, representing other mines, which wll make the Territorial exhibit, if possible, more attractive than ever. It is but just to say that I everywhere have heard the highest complime hts paid to the exhibit from our Territory.

They occupy justly conspicuous place and serve to at- tract visitors to the remainder of Arizona's showing. Then follows the Copper Queen with marvellous specimen of richly colored ore weighing 100 pounds, and averaging 2 per cent. Close by is a magnificent bar of copper run from the same mine.
 As said before the specimens are legibly and neatly labeled, giving name of mine, district, county, etc, with the assay value wherever 1t could be obtained. The com seem to be doing their duty well, and seem to act with great impartislity ia the representation Of the various DOT tions of the Territory. On the whole Ari- lons has reason to be proud of her display, and it will prove a wise investment of time | md money that she has made by attrac lg | strangers hithsr who will invest largely of | heir meanst to obtain the wealth stored in he mountains Yours truly,
