The property of the Company consists of $500
head Of cattle, houses. six ranches, controlling
twenty miles of river 'front.' which controls 2OO,-
600 acres of land, houses corrals and other build
ings necessary to conduct the business, located in
Tonic Basin, centre part Of Arizona Territory.
1t has long been known that the raising OF Cattle
In Texas, NewMexico, Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west is and for many years
has been immensely profitable and the fame of the
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means, these men within a comparatively short
time, attained positions in the World of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings of
the Pacific Coast Their success shows the results
OF intelligent and persevering efforts and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
of that success proves conclusivey that investment
made in the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not ia
miliar with the resources OF the great west. And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
can be relied upon will at once commend this class
of investment to anyone who viii take the trouble
to study the history of Stock in the portions
of the United States, and particularly Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. Capital invested in cattle
will return larger per centage of interest than is
returned by any other legitimate investment and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
tainties usually attending highly remunerative or
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
The management of the Company's affairs is in
the hands of parties whose long experien renders
them familiar with all details and eminenty fit
ted to conduct the enterprise with success.

Standard Time.

The new standard time went into effect
promptly at the hour of noon yesterday. The
various church clocks were stopped at p noon,
and when the fire alarm was struck by the city
electrician, giving the Cambridge Observatory
standard time, the clocks struck the hour of
twelve. Quite number Of people gathered in
front of the several church clocks, and as the
hour struck changed their watches to standard
time.
The new time has been adopted by the rail-
roads, public offices, banks, custom house,
schools and business houses.
The post office will adopt the nav time SO
far as the arrival and departure of mails is
concerned. With regard to the hours of open
ing and closing the office and the hours of max
ing collections and distributions of mail matter
through the city, Postmaster Goddard saws
that he is able to give no definite information
as yet. He has not decided whether he will
adopt the new standard time or adhere to the
present time
The courts will adopt the new time, but some
changes will be made in the hours of opening
and closing. The Superior Court will come in
at quarter before 10 in the morning by the
new time, and adjourn for dinner at quarter
before o'clock In the afternoon court will
come in at quarter before g. and adjourn at a
quarter before 6.
The Municipal Court will begin on Monday
mornings at O'Clock by the new time. On all
other days of the week it will begin at quar-
ter before 8 o'clock.
The Register of Deeds states that he shall
make all his records by the new time standard.
The principal object of the record is to de-
termine the priority of one document over an
other, and this can be comolished without
question by the new time standard as we'll as
by the old.
All the county offices will be opened by the
new time at the hours corresponding with the
present time.

The Pnfent RnIIot Hax.


Mr.. W. 7. Butler excited the new patent
ballot box used at the late election in Massa-
chusett, to members Of the city government
and other well known citizens at the City
Clerks office Saturday, and the general COM
ment was favorable.
The box Is two feet high, and fourteen and a
half inches wide and made of black walnut.
The votes which can be from an inch to foot
in length and proportionately wide, are put
into an inclined opening at the top of the box
face down. The turning of crank causes
rubber roller to revolve, which grasps the vote
and draws it into the body of the box. At the
same time, and with every revolution of the
crank bell rings and the vots is registered by
number shown on the front part of the box.
The votes are deposited on the bottom of the
box at full length, one on top Of the other. On
examination it will be seen that on the face of
every ballot are two continuous lines about an
inch iapart which have been printed in purple
ink, and give the number of the ward in
which the vote is cast. The object of this is
to prevent scratching, as it is very easy for
an officer, if dishonesty inclined, while pre-
tending to be counting the ballots, to have a
small pencil in the palm of his hand and when
opportunity offers to scratch the name of a
candidate. Should the name of nominee be
scratched by the voter previous to the ticket
being placed in the box the ink lines will dis
tinctly show above the pencil marks, but
should the scratching be done behind the rails
the pencil marks will necessarily be seen above
the ink. The box is divided in the middle,
and can be opened at the close of voting, to see
that no ballots are left in the box. The key to
this portion and also to that part of the box
which contains the machinery is supposed to
be keptin the possession of the City Clerk, but
should any one succeed in opening either place
nothing is to be gained. The ballots are re-
moved through a sliding door at the bottom of
the box. The ballot boxes will contain about
thousand ballots. The new register, which
will be used, will also be found much better
than the dials which heretofore answered the
same purpose. Shutting is prevented, as should
two ballots be put in together, one of them
when passing through will not s-esiss the
will be registered upon the front of the box.
1t is claimed that the machinery and the
whole box is constructed in the most durable
manner, and that it is next to impossible for
the mechanism to get out of order.

BRIDAL PARTIES visiting New York, aud
those attending the great military pageant in
honor Of Evacuation Day, are advised to tarry
at the favorite hotel, the "St. Nicholas" on
Broadway. Always winning new friends, it
retains the old by the lavish care bestowed on
the least as we'll as the most important of its
departments. Comfort and good living are
really synonymous with this hospitable house.
The management leaves nothing undone or
untried to preserve its high standard of excel
lence, and more perfectly appointed or more
luxurious table would be hard to find, even in
that most luxurious city The new furnish
ings and refittings have been much admired by
very large patronage, including many bridal
parties, as "St. Nicholas" has ever been the
patron saint Of young married folk; and New
Engianders especially appreciate the merits of
Mr. Welch's liberal management of the " ST..
Nicholas"

The Health Lift.

Read what DIR. Ludwig says of the Health
Lift exercise; "To person engaged in seden-
tary pursuits, the constant use of the Health
Lift will prove great blessing. Unlike all
other physical exercises, it does not exagger-
ate the strength of one part of the body at the
expense-of the other parts, but it brings every
muscle into prompt service at the same mo
ment, causing healthy action and a renewed
and lively circulation of the blood. OF its
merits / can speak from personal experience,
having practiced on the Health Lift about
eight months. Commencing with lifting 1870
pounds, which was a full lift for me at that
time, at the end Of the eight months could
Lift $40 pounds with as much ease as could
the $50 lbs. at the commencement. I cheer
fully recommend the nse of the Health Lift.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
wILLIsToN cHuRcH.


Rev. L. Ell. HalIock of West Winstead Conn.
who has been called to the psstorate ofWilliston
church, occupied that pulpit yesterday morn
ing. He chose for his text the 9th verse of the
18th chapter of LIST Corinthians i, eye are
the body of Christ"
The preacher began by dwelling at some
length on the inadequacy at times of human
language to embody, or describe the thoughts
and ideas of men. Ideas and ideals must be
embodied before they can be realized. This
process OF embodiment is attended with loss.
In vision 1 beheld an angel in all his
hea venly glory and the vision is stamped on
my memory, and yet, find it difficult to tell
you OF my vision Such was the case when
God attempted first to reveal himself to man,
SO dfncult In the nature of things is it, for the
hn1te to comprehend the infinite. AT last
came the Incarnation, "God manifest in the
fiesh," and then the world began to under
stand that great truth. And SO on through
the ministry of Jesus men came to learn more
ana more the purpose of God toward man.
ihen came the crucifxion, death and resurrec-
tion OF Christ, and soon his ascension, and the
world was again without any tangible nantes
tation OF God. The body of Christ even had
departed from earth. Then came the descent
OF the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and
the church was formed and Christ was reveal
ed TO the world in his body which is the
church.
The preacher spoke eloquently of the great
honor and high privilege conferred on
Christians, to be chosen representatives of
Christ on earth. Describing q celebrated
painting which had once been on exhibition
IN this country and frequently copied he men
toned that small and defaced copy once was
shown little boy at his mothers knee, and in
after years when standing before the original
ne was able to recognize it by that imperfect
and defaced copy which he had beheld years
before. Brethren, said the preacher, let us
strive to be nearly like Christ in holy living,
and perfect faith, that when those who meet
us in the daily walks of life come to stand be-
fore the Great Original, they may see that
something OF his glory has been reflected in us.
THE SECOND PARISH.
The monthly temperance meeting of this So
ciety, last evening, was an interesting occasion.
The exercises began with singing, brothers!

Joshua s: 30-55 was read, followed by prayer.
The special topic, arranged on shield, sus-
pended on the wall, was "Bible wines; un-
fermented, blessing; fermented, CURSE
This fact was illustrated by scripture. quoted
by individuals, and an exercise by boys of the
Band of Hope. The temperance quartette,
consisting of Messrs. Dresser and Weeks the
Misses Stoddard and Kicker, with piano &C.
compartment by Miss Robinson, finely render
Temperance battle hymn and parting
hymn" 'IfI were boy'' was recited by
