Arizona's Mineral Wealth.

1t is but few years ago that Arizona
was looked upon as simply worthless
desert waste, useless alike for farming
and stock raising, while the owners of a
few small mines which were known and
worked labored under the great disad-
vantage of having to rely upon the slow
OK and mule teams for the Transports
ton of their supplies and products.
Communication with the outside world
was not only difficult, but the pioneer
miners were in such constant dread of
Indian raids upon them that it was i'm
possible To develop Arizona Territory
with much success or profit. But a
great change has taken place since the
completion of the Southern Pacific
Railroad across the Territory, and
though the railroad does not extend
directly to any of the mining camps,
the increased facilities for transporta-
ton, and the opening UP of the Terri
tory in consequence of it, have increased
its population and developed its mining
interests within the past two or three
years wonderfully, and specially during
the year 1882 the Territory has made
great advances in its resources.
From statistics recently published it
appears that Arizona ranks third among
the States and Territories in the pro-
duction of gold, silver, copper and lead,
the total production of these metals
aggrcgating in value for 1882, S11, 1922

The Sleep That Men, Women and Child
rem Should Have.

Il do not think q person should be
walked at morning, and for the reason
when man falls asleep he is in the
shop for repairs, as the railroad men
say. His frame and all his intricate
machinery is being overhauled and
made ready for the next days work
The wear of the previous day is being
repaired. Nature is doing that herself
just as she knows how to make the heart
throb and send the blood coursing
through the veins. Then she takes
that tired frame, lays it down on a bed,
surrounds it with the refreshing air of
night, covers it with the soft darkness
and let's the man rest Tired natures
sweet restorer, balmy sleep, visits him,
and as the hours wear by his energies
are renewed, his strength comes back,
and finally, when morning breaks and
the sunlight steals through the lattice,
he opens his eyes and is himself again.
Or if he is early to bed he awakes with
the cocks growing. Now who shall go
to that mans side an hour before he
opens his eyes and say to nature, stand
aside and let him get up. He has had
enough Of rest? Well, nature will say,
you can take him if you will, but will
charge him with an hours loss of sleep
and I'll collect it out of his bones and
nerves and his hairs and eyesight. You
can't cheat me, I'll find a property to
levy on

would be better occupied chasing but

Ignorance i'm School.

An examination of the younger. chill.
dren i'll the Boston public schools not
long since revealed some rather curious
facts. The examination was accidental.
1t was also quite out of the usual line OF
school tests. If the questioner had
asked the children something that was
in their books they doubtless would
have answered brilliantly. Undoubtedly
they could have told him what parti-
ciple was. But he asked them about
everyday things, and here were the
answers he got: Eighteen per cent. OF
the young ones didn't know anything
about COW, except from pictures; 81
per cent. had never seen com growing.
Ninety per cent of these children edu.
Gated in the public schools, which are
the glory Of America, did not know
where their ribs were, or exactly what
they were. When asked what and
where their stomachs were, however,
all but 6 per cent. seemed to have
something like correct idea. They
had had stomach-ache often enough to
know that, bless the little creatures!

Lack of Economy i'm Americans.

Americans, whether rich or poor,
know but little more about economy in
food than an equal number of savages
Some families must breakfast either on
beefsteak or mutton chops; others will
serve just as much meat, and make it
just as palatable, at quarter of the ex-
pense Of choice cuts, because they know
how to cook. Temperament has much
influence on the larder. Excitable peo-
pie will eat twice as much without
satisfying their hunger, as those of bet
ter physical balance, vet they will not
do more work. Some wives will save
the price of ton of coal by re-making
for one of the children nm old dress or
suit of clothes; some others, seeming to
be destitute either of tact, skill or in
clination, must buy everything new or
go without. Economy is science which
quite number of men and women have
mastered by close observation and dill
igent practice; others do not seem to
know of it's existence.-NeW York

Shoppers Who Won't Buy.

A New York dry-goods man wishes
something could be done TO put stop
to the shoppers-who-never-buy nuisance.
These people are very well known to the
stores, and they don't give as much
trouble rs formerly, but still they take
up valuable time.
The moment an "old-timer' comes up
to the counter she is recognized 10y
some of the statesmen, and the warning
signal, tap on the counter, is passed
along the line. Then there is fun. The
"old timer" will call for certain shade
of yellow. She is told that it is not in
stock.
"Oh, what o pity !" exclaims she; shat
is just what wanted. If you had it l
would buy sixteen yards of it.
Then it is the next mans turn. He
comes up accordingly, and tells the first
salesman that he is mistaken, that there
is still bolt of twenty yards of that
identical stuff in the store. He brings
it forward and lays it down. You would
think the shopper-who-never-buys would
be disconnected at this turn of affairs.
Not n bit of it. She says, smilingly:
"Oh, that is Just what L want. Lay it
aSIue IOr me, ana Will see my dress
maker and find out just how many yards
she needs, and tomorrow I'll come back
and buy at"
Then she departs with shipper, but
she never comes back. 1t is said there
are no such trials in England, and the
reason is that there about seven-eighths
of the population are housekeepers who
have no time to loiter around stores,
whereas in New York fully two-thirds
of the people live in clearinghouse,
and time hangs heavy on their hands,
and they kill it by worrying sales
people.

A Singular Phenomenon.

A oAu6 hVuVhhVhVm.
Three or four gentlemen were COM
fortably seated in front of hotel in
Austin, exchanging "reminiscences and
untruths regarding their expert
ences during the war. All of these gen.
tlemen had fought, bled and come very
near dying in the Confederate army.
Each had something intere, ting to tell
about battles i'll which he had been en-
gagged. There was one exception. Col.
john Randolph Tanning, Virginian
gentleman who had distinguished HIM
self on the field. listened to what the
others said, but did not volunteer to
impart any of his own experience.
Nov it is your time, Colonel" said
Maj. Rangoon of North Carolina.
Cant you give us something startling
Tell us about the Federal battery you
captured at Charlottesville.
Since you insist upon it, gentlemen,
replied Col. Tanning, Il will relate q
little incident connected with the cap
ture of that Yankee battery. 1t struck
me as being very singular. The story
is about my horse Black Hawk. He
was, as some of you know, a Jet black
not white hair on him except star
on his forehead. He was splendid
riding animal, but he was not precisely
a war horse like the animal described
by Job. He was more of ladys horse
than war steed. When he smiled
the battle from afar, and heard the
shouting and the noise of the Captains,
he didn't say 'Ha! Hal as Jobs
charger did. He wasn't that kind of a
horse"
Probably his heart was not in the
struggle. He may have been an i'm
ported Northern horse with abolition
tendencies suggested Maj Rangoon.
"No, it wasn't that, said the Colonel.
"He was naturally timid animal. This
was the first time that / had ridden
Black Hawk into battle, and the poor
brute trembled all over. L received an
order to advance under coyer "a near as
possible to the battery, and then charge.
Just before we made the charge shell
from the battery fell within ten feet OF
my horse. He reared up, and uttered
the peculiar cry of a horse III mortal
terror. The poor fellow trembled SO
that l was in danger of falling off.
Fortunately the shell did not explode.
A moment later L was Leading my
regiment in headlong charge ON the
battery, with shells exploding over and
on every side of us. Only one-third OF
my regiment survived that fearful
charge. After the battery had been
captured, j noticed that all of my men
looked very strangely at ire and my
charger. l happened to glance at the
animal, and, gentlemen, what | am stat
ing is a solemn fact, to my amazement,
instead OF being on the back of black
horse, l was riding white horse. Ex-
cessive fright had changed every hair
on the animal from coal black to a
snowy white-all except the little star
on his forehead, that had turned as black
as your hat. l never heard of similar
occurrence, gentlemen. 1t was very
remarkable. "-TerdS Sifti1l0S

"Dennis Mulcahey, if smell wan
dhrap Of whisky on your breath whin
you come home tonight, it's sorra bit
of Shape yon'n git. You'll rist your red
head in the gutter, where il belongs.
You know me, Dinnis."
This cheerful injunction was de-
ivered on the morning of April |, 1873,
on the front porch of the Mulcahey
mansion, in Shantytown, to very small
man by a very large woman, and Me
brawny arms of the speaker and the
ominous glare in her eye left no doubt
in Mulcabey's mind of the fulfillment of
her," remarked Dennis to himself, as
he walked down the avenue, "and. it
will be a long day before she sees nae
again." And it was. That afternoon
he engaged AZ laborer on Western
railroad, and before night he was speed
ing toward the setting sun in company
with half-hundred of his fellow
countrymen. Before leaving he care
fully and prudently refrained from
sending home any intimation of his in
tended departure. That night there
was no news from Mr.. Mulcahey, nor
the next day, nor the next, and by the
cepted her widowhood as an assured
fact.
Shortly before Midnight, five years
afterward, short, authenticated in
dividual could have been seen pursuing
an unsteady course up the uneven
avenue of Shantytown. His general
appearance was more indicative of in
ebriation than of affiuence, and time
and Western whisky had left their in
delible traces on his features. 1t was
the prodigal returned. Quietly he
wendell his way up the familiar path
which leads to the Mulcahey front door,
and, leaning against the Grecian pillar
which supports the roof OF the porch,
he soliloquized: Five years is n long
time to be separated from vans wife
and family. I'll not deprive them Of
me society any longer. I'll go in and
inform me lovin' wife that her Dinnis is
home wanst more" Rousing himself
from his pleasing monologue, he gave
the door light knock.
who's there?" came from within.
Its me-it's your own Dinnis come
back to your lovin' arms
whist, me children, your fayther's
come back. Dinnis Mulcahey, if it's
ralely you, hiven have mercy on you (;
that's all !"
AS she crossed the floor there was q
rustling outside the house, hasty
scrambling down the walk, and the
patter of feet rapidly moving in the
direction of the gate She threw open
the door and peered out into the dark
