When his opponeuv 49,.
lug, Mr.. Gladstone comes to his i,,-
with surprising agility, and advances
a step Or two to the end Of the table.
There is a little red box here, con.
tanning his documents, and he places
the ends of his right hand fingers
upon this box. He lifts his chin rather
above his normal height, like man
used to talking to gallery, and, as the
words flow freely from between his
lips, he emphasizes them by prodding
the box with the tips of his straight
ened fingers, AS Mr.. Gladstone talks,
he grows. In silence and repose you
see a thin and sllriveled old man, with
long, slender legs, swollen joints, a
hooked nose, sunken eyes, n sparsely-
clothed head, rather la ow 'hIough
the temples, but broaG ant Iigh over
the ears, struggling white Shiskers,
which shamble down the sides of his
face and under his throat, and q gener-
al air of physical decay that is not
altogether reassuring. But, as his chin
goes up, and his chest protrudes, and
tho words begin to roll out with
rapidity and resonance, as the eyes
kindle and the smile Of conscious
power spreads over the old face, you
begin to feel the reason of the prem
ier's grip upon the politics of Great
Britain. He has the perfect confidence
of the practiced speaker, and that elo.
quence Of manner, no less than of
words, which proclaims the orator.
He is by all odds the most admirable
talker l have heard in England. He
uses no notes, and, as soon as he has
finished what he has to say, he slouches
back upon the seat, apparently in that
state of complete physical collapse
which Charles Dickens asclibes 70 the

After drawing near to him and
speaking some words of sympathy, lie
looked at me with his blue eyes-he
could not move; it was the night be-
fore he died-and breathed into my
ear the words, Il am strong in Him
The words were few and uttered
feebly. They were the words of u
feeble child, in poor home, where the
only ornament was that of a meek, and
quiet, and affectionate mother; but
these words seemed to lift the burden
from the weary heart; they seemed to
make the world more beautiful than
ever it was before; they brought home
to my heart a great and blessed truth,
May all of us be strong in EIimv"

 "To-day the Republican Territorial Convention has made a wise and we be- lieve a winning choice in its selection of Judge DeForest Porter, of this county, as its candidate for election as member to Congress from this Territory at the coming election.
 The Judge is a genial, sociable and able gentleman, with many friends wherever known as well as enemies, which no man that is man IS without

He has held this position for eleven years, and but recently resigned to become resident manager of the Excursion Mining Com pany of Tonto Basin.
 "Wherever the Judge has been loca ted he has made many and substantial friends, and nothing 6aks more loud- ly in his favor than that from those DOT lions of the Territory where best known he received the most hearty support We expect to have much to say of the Judge in the near future"

The Mexican Treaty.

Advance sheets of a small document printed III English and Spanish have come to hand, and contain some curious provisions III regard to the agreement between the United States and Mexico as to how the Indians shall be chased back and forth over the boundary with a rifle in one hand and this treaty ID the other. IL will toe possible to run an h. dian over the line without the violation of international law The Indian must III each case be savage Indian, and the troops must not pursue him over the line at point within SIX miles of a set tlement.
 The Senate of the United States of Mexico has authorized the President of that Republic to allow the passing of Mexican troops into the United States and of the United States troops into Mexico, and the Constitution of the Uni ted States empowers the President of the United States to allow the passage without the consent of the Senate. The agreement does not require the sanction of the Senate of either country, and will begin to take effect twenty days after the date, July 29, 1882, which fixed last Friday as the time. The memorandum of agreement IS entered into, on behalf of their respective Governments, by Frderick T. Freling ghuysen, Secretary of State of the United States of America, and Matias Romero, Envoy Extraordin- ary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Mexico, and It agrees that the regular Federal troops of the two Republics may reciprocally cross the boundary of the two countries where they are ID close pursmt of band of savage Indians upon certain conditions, which are enumerated as follows: The crossing agreed upon shall only occur m the unpopulated, or desert parts of the boundary line. For the purpose of this agreement the unpopulated or des- ert parts are defined to be all these points which are at least two leagues distant from an encampment or town of either country. No crossing of troops of either country shall take place from Captain Leal, town on the Mexican side of the Rio Bravo, twenty Mexican leagues, fifty-two English miles above Piedras Nlegras,to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The commander Of the troops which crossed the frorier in pursuit of Indians shall, at the time of crossing or before, f possible, give notice of his march to the nearest military command CT or civil authority of the country whose territory he enters. The pursu- ing force shall retire to its own territory as so D as 1t shall have fought the band of which IS in pursuit, or have lost its trail. In no case shall the forces of the two countries, respectively, establish thems Ives or remain ID the foreign ter r.tory for any time longer than IS neces- -ary to make the pursuit of the band whose trail they follow.

An Unhappy Island.

Poor, little, far away Iceland, one of
 the most interesting countries m the
 world, and a great fayOrIte, 1t will be re-
 membered. with Bayard Taylor, IS now
 in a double affiictiOn, being threatened
 not only with famine but with an cpl
 demic. A letter to the London Stand
 ard gives some interesting details of the
 troubles which are crowdIng upon these
 simple, happy and sturdy people. IL
 appears that the winter or loSJ-ol was
 extremely severe even for that region,
 and the following summer was so cold
 that the hay crop, upon when depend-
 ence IS placed, was almost a failure. As
 the result of this much larger portion
 than usual of the sheep and cattle had
 to be killed because they could not be
 supported. Oats and maize were Im-
 ported for fodder, but most of the peo-
 pie were too poor to buy them, and at
 last rough weather made cOmmunlca
 ton with trading ports impossible. The
 live stock died in large numbers. Ow- ing to the coll weather this spring the
 lambing failed. As no grain and but
 very few vegetables can be raised there,
 the island rs have to depend on their hucks and herds for subsistence and for
 money with which to buy clothing grO- ceries, breadstuffs and other necessities of life, all of which have to be eImported.
 This fall they will have no trade in nut ton, tallow and wool, and, as milk from their tiocks is entirely wanting, they are now threatened with famine. In addi- ton to these troubles measles, which
 has not been known as an epidemic for more than thirty years, has broken out and Is spreading over the island like plague. The hardy people of Iceland seem to be periodically afflicted. In
 l7O7 smallpox swept of One-third of the Tn 1T59 the great famine" carried off lO,0lO. Then followed sheep plaques and dire volcanic eruptiOns. The sympathy of the world will go out towards this people, of whom the Stand ard says:

4 CORRESPONDENT of the St. Louis Globe Democrat writes of the Mormon uthinc-kouse Of Salt Lake City with a very slight knowledge of it's workings. Hscouveys the impression that its funds are legitimate plunder for the church oficials, and that the faithful are taxed to starvation by the church. This is all b1sh. The system is the basis of one of the best beneficiary institutions of our country. It is a policy of the Mormon church to extend its settlements as widely as possible ItrequIres not only hard and enduring muscle and deter mined spirit, but very hard cash to transform a dark wilderness or an arid plaIn inso blooming farms. The poor pioneers are well supplied by the church with every necessity for several years, until thelr farms return profitable yield for their industry, when through year ly lycontr5ution of tithes the church be- comes reimbursed for the original out. zy. l. is an admirable system, and forms one Of the strongest features of Norm7nism. Its practical workings can be seen in all parts of Arizona. and it has built up some Of our most prosper 0ls settlements.

From the Columbus .Gia.J Enquir--.
 Said lady yesterday, "I wonder how many pleasant homes will be made ul- happy by this election" An expIana- tIOn was asked, and she said "Why, ] have seen to-day two men drunk that I know we'll, and never saw either one Of them under the influence of liquor before. have heard the wife of one Of them say she had rather see her husband dead, much as she loved him, than Co see him a drunkard. Both Of these men are candidates, and knowing the sorrow of their homes tonight, l was merely thinking and wondering how many other homes would be saddened in the next week, and been saddened in the last few days, by the drinking Of candidates and those who had been treated by them. The great trouble with politics is that women can have nothing Co say. When a man runs for office he must treat IF he doesn't then those who do will get the votes. He must drink not only with his equals, but much more with those whose company be would not think of keeping under any other cir cumstances. He would D yer think of bringing home with him the men he spends his time with. It's all wrong and tell you this running for office has ru1ned nOre men than you hafe any idea of."
