REDUCTION Of the tariff and civil SER
vice reform must so hand in hand. Let
both be real. A tariff bill with the
principle of miscalled protection in it,
meaning the robbery of Peter to pay
Paul, is not tariff reform in the sense
the people want. Neither is civil SER
vice bill which discriminates in favor of
the ms against the outs by exempting
the former from the same test which is
applied to the latter, the civil service re-
form the people expect.

The Tennessee Defalcation.

The sensation of the day is the defal-
cation of Marsh T. Polk the State Treas
urer of Tennessee, for $402, 900, probably
more, but not less. The Memphis APP
peal says the defalcation commenced five
years ago, but owing to the failure of
the Legislature to investigate the Office,
it has grown from bad to worse until the
final elimination. The money was
spent in buying property, silver mines,
specializing in bonds, splurging and
high living The defaulter is a member
of an honored family, distinguished es-
pecially by the names of ex-President
James K. Polk and Gen. Bishop
Leondias Polk. He is Democrat, but
belonged to the High Credit faction
who thought it would disgrace the State
if she did not pay the last dollar of the
bonds which have been issued in her
name. He is a fugitive. The money is
gone. The Legislature has been left to
hold the bag; and the taxpayers are the
sufferers, as usual.

Mateh-Making Mammas.

A old lady who lad several uumnr-
ried daughters, fed them largely on a
fish diet, because, as she ingeniously
observed, fish is rich in phosphorus, and
phosphorus is the essential thing in
making matches. II the phosphorie
diet caused the young ladies' to
shine in society, they in all proba.
bility did not adopt it in vain; for just
as fish are easily attracted in the night
by any bright light thrown upon the
water, so young men are invariably
found to flock after any girl who
"shines," even though her ac-
complishments may be of a
very shallow, superficial or phosphor-
escent character. No experienced match
making mamma requires to be taught
the value Of display as an almost certain
means of attraction. That Is the secret
of the ball suppers and iced champagne.
the heavy dressmakers' bills, and the
thousand and one other items of extrava-
gance that have to be met in order that
the young ladies may make .srespecta-
blen appearance and may finish with a
successful match. And that is why so
many OF these matcn-nakinB ventures
have SO often resulted in the
most dcplorable sequels. Display Is
met with display-the one frequently
ns hollow and false as the other. The
distinguished foreigner and the iascinat.
ing young nobleman is discovered, when
too late, to be nothing more nor less than
an unprincipled advepturer; and the
merchant who was supposed to be little
il anything short Of millionaire is
found, also when it is too late, to be on
the verge of bankruptcy. Very often in
such matches both parties are sold, and
then the verdict is, SERVES them right. =

A Queer Story of Divorce.
philadelphia Times. J

llHlAuelptlt lHhts'I
A queer little story of marriage and
divorce was tol yesterday i'll Judge
Biddle's desertion court. Fanny Soap.
plewitch, mother, only 20 years old,
complained that Lewis Scapplewitch,
" HON she snid she had married less
than n year ago, had left her and refused
to support her or her baby. The little
one, looking like n bundle of white
linen, was nestled in the mothers arms.
The mother removed veil from its tiny
head and kissed her darling's cheeks.
Its age, she said, was just three weeks
aud day. The District Attorney
thought it the youngest bit of humanity
that had graced the courtroom during
his administration.
Both parties to the suit We're Israel
ties. The defendant said that he had
grown suspicious of the womans con.
duct. He had learned, he said, that she
had, under the law, a husband living
when she married him. The plaintiff
admitted that there was one living who
called her wife. She had, however, been
divorced from him before her marriage
He was an Israelite also, she said, and the
ceremony of divorce had been performed
by rabbi in New York, where she and
he then lived. That divorce, she de
AIRED, was sufficient for a Hebrew
Jaeob Myers corroborated the woman,
nd testified that the ceremony of di.
vorce had been performed in his house.
Judge Biddle, however, said that the
divorce was without force in law. As
the woman, consequently, had husband
living when she entered into the second
marriage, he said that he could not make
an order for support against the de-
fendaut. The woman tearfully left the
stand. She recovered, however, quickly
enough to AXE a short turn and had
Scapplewitch arrested on a criminal
charge.

About $50 hands are now employed

From farmers throughout tho valley
we learn that the water in surface wells
is rising very rapidly, from which fact
many predict wet season the coming

We were treated to regular typical
Arizona thunder and lightning storm,
Thursday evening. The wind blew with
terrific force for a short time, raising
thick clouds OF dust, but soon it started
in and rained heavily, and the dust was
all laid and the temperature cooled con-
siderably.
A gentleman who lives about one-half
a mile south of Cotton says he has sold
this wear over $1,000 worth of fruit from
am orchard OF deciduous trees OF only
SEVEN acres. The orchard has only been
planted four years. How is this ior an

For the last week, in the afternoons

stamps in the battery Of the Alhambra
mill, and descended to the earth.
Lightning also ran along ON the rods
that brace the building. The whole
mill was lighted up with the electric
