TIE ENTERPRISE has stated repeatedly that San Francisco merchants would lose the trade of Arizona unless they make stronger efforts to retain it. The Stock Report takes the same view of the matter in the following: "An Arizona paper mentions the fact that eastern merchants control the bulk of the Arizona trade, and attributes it to the fact that the eastern people are energetic in drumming up trade, while those of California are apa- thetic in the matter. This Is news to us We supposed the San Francisco drummer found his way everywhere this side of the neutral line on the Rocky Mountains. The eastern drummer crosses that line and invades the domain of the California commercial traveller: but the California man seldom finds his way east of the Rockies, and, if the Arizona paper is cor rect, he does not thoroughly canvass the field that ought to be his own by right of vicinity. The trade of all the region ly- ing west of the Rocky Mountains ought to be controlled by this city, and it does not speak much for San Francisco mer- chantile enterprise when eastern mer- chants can control the greater portion of the trade of Arizona. Of course the east ern merchant has the advantage in price in many articles; but in such goods as California produces and manufactures the difference in freight and time ought tc more than overcome that advantage Il is hard to be forced to acknowledge it, but it is the fact, nevertheless, that the business men of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City show more enterprise an6 push their trade with more engergy than is displayed by San Francisco merchants California used to be considered the fast State of the Union, but as a mercantile State she is at present very much in the background

As . rule, she tells rs, In acute cases in

Indifference. excepting with regard To
bodily suffering, or to snme duty the
dying man desires TO perform is the far
more usual state. But pstients who die
Of consumption very iI,quehtly die in a
state OF seisphic Joy end peace; ihe
countenance slmost expresses rapture.
Patients who die OF cholera, peritonitis,
DC, on the contra,y, often die in state
Of approaching despair. In dJsentery
diarrl ga or fever the patient often dies
10 q state Of indifference Those who
have carefully exam ined the dead on q
e-ield, or in the streets after an
emeuse, are strpck with the fact that,
while the expression on the faces OF
those who have died by gun-shot wounds
10 one OF agony and distress, the dead
by sword have 8 calmer expression,
though their weands often seem more
painful 10 the eye A very careful OH
eerver, who was through the Indian mu'
rfny, entircly confirms this. A iter Civ.
