The Newspaper Business.

Colonel Aikens, editor of the Mil
 xaukee Erentng Wisconsin, in refer
 ing to the newspaper business, says:
 The average newspaper reader thinks
 he could improve the newspaper he | reads if he " ere the editor. It is
 very common for editors of long ex-
 perience-men who have devoted lifetime 10 the proression-to get let
 ters from subscribers offering ad-
 vice. No doubt some edilors need advice; but as q rule. an editor fit 10
 be in the position knows better than any one reader what ought 10 go in his paper. The readers of news
 pa,er are . community, and their
 wants and tastes are broader than those of one man hence the acute will find his way to the satisfaction of the greatest number. In this course he will circumscribc himself only with regard to truth, right and public good. He is. however, con- stantly tempted by the large sale of purely nasty and immoral papers 10 increase at the expense of dccency. But only on the ground that the devil is the payma:ter can this course be justified. Edit paper within the bounds of decency and right, and the best test of an editors work is the scale of his wares-thc of his readers. Edited upon any other principle, the paper be- comes tract, and people don't buy benevolent societies give them away.
 Perhaps the worst popular fallacy with regard 10 newspapers is that entertained that newspa- pers ought to be printed and pub lished in the interest of the commun ity-particu'arly the indigent DOT ton of the community. Churches, poor houses, asylums and all sorts of enterprises run to the for Gratuities, just as a child run to is mother for help. Politicians, office seekers and

"Want to buy muls?" querled a farmer of country editor" No; what the deuce do want of a mule ?" aikcd the astonished paste manipu- lator. Well, replied the granger, seed an item in your paper last week which said that you wished folks wouldn't talk to you so muct

George Mesrole arrived in towI
 last evening from Buekhorn Basin
 in theChirIcahuas,a and brought infor.
 nation of an Indian raid that took
 place in that vicinity last Monday
 evening. A Dirty of four miners
 named Bob Roberts, Pat Clancy,
 Burty Peck and Billy Dunn, were
 engaged ill working on an open cut
 in the Harding claim in the South
 ern and more isolated part of the
 district. Two of them, Clancy and
 Peck, were ut work in the cut, and
 the other two were asserting and
 sacking pile of ore cn the dump
 preparatory to shipping to an arraS-
 tra 10 be reduced. The men on the
 dump were joking and chatting gai- ly, when suddenly volly from some
 unseen source, made them seek siel- ter beside the dump. The shooting
 was accompanied by several savage yells aud ere mahy seconds, some seven or eight Indians hove into sight. Tho men in the cut were sale from attack, while the men who were crouched near the dump were only partially so. Dunn concluded that he would make d break tn enter the cut, though Robetrs strongly ad- viseG him to remain where he was, and he would be safe, Dunn, not needing his partners advice, made a rush, but the bullets were to fast for him, and one struck him ill the left shoulder, bringing him 10 the ground before Ee got to his ha- ven. He then crawled into the cut, and lively fusilade was kept up by the saYages interspersed with ire quent!y yells, and other indications of savage glec. One of the men had a small pocket pistol, which was flr- cd otf, as feint to make the savages 1 believe that they were armed, and | as they did not approach any nearer it is probable that the ruse was successful. The firing was kept up at intervals until after dark, when it ceased, and the savages were heard riding away southward. Several bullets struck the earth un- near Roberts and he con- emplated several times following he example of Dunn by making a break for the cut. Dunn's wound is serious, but not dang the bullet passing through the shoulder as far IS the skln on the other side where t lodged. As soon as the Indians vent of one of the men made an ln- ision in the flesh and extracted the ,all. MT. Mesrole states that pre- 'arations were being made to bring he woonded man to the hospital in his city, when he left.

A TUCSON ROMANCE.
A True Story From Life {.

1 We find the following interesting
 story in the Tucson Citizen.
 Tucson is not much given to TO-
 mances of startling or sensational
 nature, and its gossips, for every
 city confesses the possession of such
 mischieYous element, have for many
 months been compelled to turn
 anew memory's pages and open old
 wounds upon which. to feast. Yet
 under their very eyes there has
 transpired a concatenation of events,
 strange in thelr detail, yet eomEar-
 atively harmless in their results. A young lady of Tucson, who ha.
 unfolded and developed the bud of promised lovelinoss into q blossom
 of rare beauty in this sun kissed
 land, is the subject of this imperfect
 record of absolute facts. The arms
 of carbon composing the Faber,
 No. 2, of the writer, would scarcely
 adhere 10 paper on which this is
 written were he 10 neglect to say that she is possessed of classic brow, clear cut, expressive force of surpass- ing loveliness; full, ripe cherry lips which the honey bee might be pardoned for mistaking for halt opened morning glory, and mass of raven ringlets, the sport of every passing breeze. Her lustrous eyes of midnight blackness sparkle with effervescing nirth and beam with rare intelligence. Indeed she is a most loving and lovable lass, an armful of ecstacy; thing of beauty and joy forever.
 Anl her name is-no; even that | must not be told, just at present, for she yet resides il this pueblo, the same chaste, happy creature as before she became wife and widow at the same moment. For present purposes she may be called Belle Buttercup, just because that doesn't sound at all like her real name. Last summer, when the deserts of 'f Arizona were scorching under an lrdent tropical sunshine, but before he washouts made travel by rail at Ill uncertain, this young lady made ! visit to her former home in one of he beautiful cities of California. There she renewed acquaintances 'egun in childhood and was the cntral attraction of gay, social cen CTS, her Sparkling vivacity and per onal charms attracting all fashiona- , lie beaux.

THE TWO GATES.

Open the East Gate new, T. And let the day come in, The day with uhstained brow, Untouched py care or sin. For her we watch and wait,
 Wait with the birds and dew; Open the Eas. ern Gate. And .et the daylight through. Uplifr thy daily toll
 N ith brain all fresh and clesr, Strong hands that hay no soil,
 And hearts untouched by fear, Marching unto thy noon,
 Marching unto thy rest When shadows lengthen- soon
 Comes calm and peaceful rest. Open the Weste n Gate,
 And let the daylight go In pomp of royal tate,
 In rose and amber glow. It is so Ia e SO late,
 Th- birds sing sweet and low Open the Western Gate,
 And lcr the daylight go, Lay down thy daily toll,
 Glad oi thy la bor done. Glad of the nights assoil,
 Glad of thy wages won; With hearts that fondly wait.
 With grateful hearts aglow, Pray at the Western Gats
 And let the daylight go. Pray at the Eastern Gate
 For all the day can ask; Pray AI the We: tern Gate.
 Holding thy finished task. It waxeth late. sO-late
 The nj ht feils cold and gray; But through Lies Western Gate Dawns Life's Eternal Day.
