Such love seeks not Its own, makes all
labor light, and imparts the will and
power to do and suffer. What a mistake
the Jews made when it was said, "He
saved others; let him save Himself If He
be the Christ, the chosen of God" 1t
was His omnipotent love that brought
| Him t and kept Him on the cross. It
was His purpose to be mans redeemer
that enabled Him to heap benedictions
upon His murderers. Oh, how album
dant and blessed are the fruits of Christ's
love. There is nothing in philosophy Of
any sort to be compared to It. It builds
asylums, feeds the hungry, clothes the
naked and visits the sick. Where there
is love works follow spontaneously. 1t
is also the source Of sympathy. 1t en-
abIed Christ to identity himself with us.
Desire for sympathy universal Even
the Son himself, full Of it as he was, long
ed for the sympathy of the Father and
sought it continuously through prayer.
Divine sympathy imparts determination,
and takes away fear. Gods purposes are
seldom reached except through endur-
anee and suffering. The Anguish caused
by service soon passes and there remains
faith, purity and the peace that is Of
God. During trial the soul reaches ont
for such sympathy, as Christ gives, and II
enhances this sympathy to think Of Chris,
as the Goldman. I love to think of Him
as passing through such q life as ours,
Some how I get nearer to Christ when
look at him as . man--helpIess, poor,
weeping, healing Diseases, raising the
dead, and forgiying sin. Oh, the bliss Of
having such q friend; but how is this te
be realized3 By the union Of faith and
communion in prayer. In Adam al

Shall We Meet Againi

The following IS one of the most bril- liant paragraphs ever written by the la- mented George D. Prentice: "Ihe fiat of death is inexorable. There IS DO ap- peal for relief from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flow CTS that bloom, wlther and fade in day have no Trailer hold upon life than the mishtiest monarch that ever shook the earth with hls footsteps. Generation of men will appear and disappear as the grass, and the multitude that thrOng the world to-day will disappear as foot steps on the shore. Men seldom think of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their own pathway, hiding from thelr eyes the faces of loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence Death IS the antag- onist of life, and the thought of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not want to go through the dark val ley, although the dark passage may lead to paradise; we do not want to go down into damp graves, even with princes for bedfellows. In the beautiful drama of lon the hope of immortality, so elo- quently uttered by the death devoted Greek, finds deep response Tn every thoughtful soul. When about to yield his life a sacrifice to fate. his Clemanthe asks If they should meet again. to which he responds: have asked that dreadful question of the hills that look eternal of the clear streams that flow forever - of stars among whose fields of azure my raised spirits have walked in glory. All are dumb But as 1 gaze upon thy liv- ing face feel that there Is something Tn love that mantles through its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We shall meet apain. ClemRnthe.n

Reptiles in Disguise.

Everybody is fond of birds, but it is possible that some people might like them less fl they believed them to be only reptiles in disguise. Now, Sir John Lubbock, addressing the British Associa. tion in 1881, said: "It seems to be gen. orally admitted that birds have come down to us through the Dinosaurians (Wonder-Ezards); and, as Huxley has shown, the profound break once SUD- posed tO exist between birds and reptiles has been bridged over by the discovery of reptilian birds and bird-hke reptiles so that, in fact, birds are modified reptiles" Popular likes and dislikes are no disprcOf of relationship. Birds with teeth and reptiles with feathers have been cited in evidence, although, indeed, they are very like "CuckoO, cuckoo, welcome bird, seldom seen, but often heard" of. Birds and reptiles are alike reproduced from eggs; their blood cOrpuscles are equally oval, and not round, as in mammal animals Both apparently, swallow their food without tasting 1t. Possibly the stomach may be, with them, the seat of taste, as 1t often Is with us when We have taken physlc or eaten stale fish or too much sage and onion stufiing with duck. Both are musical.
 Serpents are fond Of melody, though they cannot make it. Batrachians as well as bipeds have their grand united choral societies. American bullfrog con- certs are celebrated as well as numer- ously attended The song of thrushes and the wailing of nightIngales may. therefore. be only developments of the green European tree-frog's resonant croak, effected, as with birds. by in- Hated expansions of the throat, very curl ous to witness. Froggy looks as proud as his predecessor in the fable, and one wonders that he does not, like him, burst himself Feathers may be only a of scales The so-called feathers of butterflies are really scales, whence their name Lepidoptera.-Lon- don Society.

Reallr NeM Fish Story.

Four ladies, a nurse, aud 10 year-old urchin in blue petticuats, leaned eagerly over the gunwale Tn a boat off Atlantic City, \. J., intent on capture. Sudden ly the young lady of the party gave vent to wild scream, and began wringing her hands over the side of the boat The gulls continued to snap the unwary minnows from the reedy marge, the vo- raciOus schools of weakiish continued tO take the hook as fast as 1t was lowered. yet heaven and earth were duly called to witness the malden's distress. Play ing the line from the tips of her fingers a hungry weakish had captured the hook just as a diamond ring slipped from her dainty finger down the cord. Weaktish have a peculiar practice, when the hooz is struck, of opening their mouths and shaking theIr heads. The fish in question opportunely opened his mouth, received the ring on top of the hook, and was at once pulled to the sur face and to the young lady's rescue.

How American Ideas are Dinused.

It may be that in view of an interest ing matrimonial event which 1t IS an- nounced will take place soon that the London Saturday Review will soften its tone with regard to American men, man ners and matters-certainly with refer ence to American women. The son Of the proprietor of that paper, NIT. Beres- ford Hope, met, admired and loved an American girl, the daughter of General Frost, of St. Louis. She has consented to marry him in few days. The young lady will doubtless tell her papa-in-laH, when she comes to possess one, of the many good qualities of Americans, of the greatness and true goodness Of ev- erything American, and will say many kind things of the men, none of whom she would prefer to her young English man, and the papa-ln-law will entirely change the tone of the Saturday Re view. That vinegarish paper needs Q change. We are not disposed tO com plain that the suggestion of change should come from St. Louis. We would net complain If the dyspeptic Ishmael- ties who now run that paper were bounced to make way for some St. Louis p1itDrS

THE LIVE STOCK TRADE.
The Royal Road to Fortune in the Cattle
 Business

Last evening prominent business man of Tucson gave 6 CITIZEN reporter an insight into the cattle business. The glimpse obtained of the royal road to fortune through livestock raising was refreshing.
 All man wants, he commenced, is a little capital. say about 5000 If he buys 200 three year-olds, the second year he has 200 more, which makes 400. The third year he has Poo more, which makes 3 total 600 on hand. He now has 200 five year-olds which lave been ready for the market two years. He also has two hundred two year-olds, and two hundred yearlings. This is the third year of hls business, and he can dispose of the original POO for the first price, S5,OOO. Each year thereafter he will al- ways have POO three year-olds ready for market on which he can alway realize the original capital invested, namely the S5,000
 Then, again, suppose that a man goes and buys 400 calves at S5 per head. When they are three year-Slds, they are worth SD apiece, an amount equal to 400 per cent added to the capital invest ed.
 Of course this IS the bright side Of the picture. There are many serious 1 drawbacks to tine business, which can only be overcome by experience and study.
 Cattle ranges are numerous Tn Ariz1- na, and natural feed Is abundant all the year around. It doesn't cost a cent Co raise your cattle; only the care in look ing after them. The only drawback at present is the lack of water, but that will be overcome, as water is found everywhere by digging.

Suppressing Bangles.

The chief of the Secret Service Divi sion of the United States Treasury has issued instructions to his subordinates to suppress the manufacture of bangles in imitation of gold and silver coins Jewellers who were spoken to about the matter said the trade knew that tine manufacture of the limitations of the colns was a violation of the law. but the demand for bangles was SO large that dealers purchased the limitations to sup ply their customers. The gold coins are made of 1i-caret gold. "The quantity of real coin used in the manufacture of bangles is quite remarkable said a jew eler. "Silver quarters and two-and-a- half gold pieces are about the largest coins that decorate the ladies' wrists. A great many dimes are used in this way. It IS a great caper of the unmarried girls now to induce their steady com pany to present them with the little sinners, suitably engraved, and to wear the trophies dangling their arms. The imitation quarters are sold at SIP per hundred, and the gold half dollars at S35 per hundred"

\ Family Quarrel.

A very pretty story of sharp religious practice Is told by the North German Gazette, apropos of the rumor that Duke Paul Ere derrick of Mecklenburg-Schw in had lately gone over to the Rh0mish church. The rumor, 1t Is explained. Is due to the following incident:-When the late Grand Duke of Meoklenburg- ScEwerin died, his second son, Paul Frederick, who Is married to a Princess Marie of WindischgrarZ. a Cdthohc, was living at Fl Bekir, in Algeria, and sum- morning thither his sister-In-iGw, Count ess Olga Mocenigo. from Venice to at tend his wife, who was approaching her confinement, he hurried home to the funeral of hIs father In his absence bis wife gave birth Co a daughter, and be- fore the Duchess was cOnvalescent the Countess took the child and had 1t pri- vately christened by the Cardinal-Arch- bishop of Algiers. On returning the Duke discovered what had been done without the will of either himself or his wife.

THE NORTHWEST.
\ Country Greatly Advertised and Over
 done.

Mir. l.. Booth, representing the firm of Tat m k Bowen, of San Francisco, was in Tucson last Saturday evening, and was int viewed by CITIZEN reporter. Mr. Booth had just returned from Ore gon and Washington Territory, where he lad been experimenting the erection of twenty saw-mills manufactured by his firm He said there were as many coming back from Oregon and Wash ington Territory as there We're going there. There is a great deal of talk that there Is not sufficient accommodation for he transportation of freight to the northwest, but he had observed that the vess els carried all that was necessary. The country Is greatly puffed. Willard is turning the bellows at the eastern end of the line in the east, and the newspapers are doing their part in Port land. The wheat crop Is poor this year The weather has been as dry as any in Arizona, and for quite a long spell There are no apples this year. The amount of goods and necessaries ship- ped from California have caused the re- mark that 1t IS a good thing that Oregon is Sc near to the land of fruit and grain. Business in Portland is the dullest ever known. The wholesale hardware merchants have sold great quantities of machinery Co the farmers on long time (anG at high pricesl, but as the wheat crop looks now, the time in which they will be compelled to wait for their pay will be rather lengthy. The crop Is shrivelled from the long dry spell, and in many places IS literally scorched from the heat. The Oregonians are q slow going people, and have plenty Of time for everything. Land IS held very high at Portland, Seattle and Tacoma Busi- nesi is very fair at the two latter places. The timber resources of the country are simply inexhaustible, and in fact are hinUrance to agriculture from their rank grovth.
 There are large undeveloped mines of iron and coal in Washington territory.
 Mr. Booth is much surprised at the pro- psrity and growth Of Tucson since he was here a year ago, and says after ext, nsive travel over all the Pacific coat that the prospects of Arizona con- parr fsvorably and a little more so with any other portion of the slope.

AROmanee of Moose Lake.

The people residing in the vicinity Of the secluded Moose lake are busy with a romance just now. IL seems that on the banks of the lake resides Elijah Camp, an Indian guide. He has a beautiful daughter, Emma, who has developed in- to noble-hearted and loving woman. For some years a family named Mead, who reside at Sing Sing, have made it their practice to spend the heated term at the Indian guides humble home. In the Mead family there IS young man named Gabrlel Mead, and quite natural ly he fell in love with the beautiful h. dian maiden, and last spring he made his lawful bride. When the older Mead learned of this he was very wrOth, and forced his son to desert his young bride. Five months ago he took her to his arms a beautiful, loving bride, and to-day she wanders alone on the banks of Moose lake with a broken heart and blasted hopes. Elijah and his deserted child have recently been twice to Sandy Hill, and Gen. Charles Hughes has the case in hand and already has opened his legal battery on the Mesds, and anybody that knows the general can guess about how the matter will end. Emma may lose Gabriel, but Gabriel will wish before the general gets through with him that he had stuck to Emma.-Troy N. Y) Tele- gram.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The Lamps Satisfactorily Tested Thi, Msrn-
 ing


 This forenoon in answer to an invita- tion from T. F. Cronise, CITIZEN re- porter visited the electric light works on Washington street between Court and Church streets. The engine was run ming on sixty odd pounds Of steam. The boiler and engines are of the Nesting house pattern. The latter are especially constructed for this peculiar business. The electric light responds to every movement of the engine. Hence, it is desirable to have the engine run with as steady motion as possible, and thest of the Westinghouse pattern have been made to that end. The engine at the works is of sixty horsepower. The dynamo was making seven hundred and twenty revolutions per minute. It is a large cast iron wheel, bound across in every direction with wire, and is caused t. revolve rapidly between two great horshoe magnets. This action generates the electricity, which is switched of by the magnets and taken on by the wires, and instantly forms a circuit. All of the lamps to the number of forty were on the floor, and were burning. A point of intense white light in each one blinded the eye, and cast perceptible sha- dow. Everything in the test to- day has given satisfaction. The compa- nys plant here IS smaller but much nicer than the one in Los Angeles 1; especially IS this true of the lamps and engines. The company has twenty-five more applications for the Brush arc light than they can fill The Swan lamps are expected to arrive next week The Brush arc lights will be turned on the latter part of this week T. f. Gro mise, who, with E. ". TIsdall, organized the company here, is well known as the author of the Natural Wealth of Cali fOrnia." These gentlemen are agents of the Rocky Mountain Brush Light Con- pany, which is organized for the SIX Pa- cihc Territories. They have organized companies at Cheyenne, Albuquerque, Silver City, Prescott and Tucson, and have companies in process of organiza- tion at Las Vegas, Laramie and Tomb stone. H. c. White is the engineer, who was sent out by the Westinghouse Ma chine Company to superlntend the cree ton of the machinery, and put it run- ming order. He will leave shortly for Los Angeles and San Francisco. F. H. Farrar IS the electrician, who will remain permanently in Tucson, and have charge of the works.
