Bill Arp on Daughters.

It IS mighty hard to see a girl come
 back to her fathers house Co live after
 she has been married a year CT two.
 Poor thing, she never knew what a good
 home she had until she Jeff tt, and by and-by she comes back pale and ssd, and
 the man she trusted goes another way. That IS the wreck of a life. No more happiness for her. No wonder that parents feel anxious about their daughters, and daughters ought to think and ponder long time before they marry. A fathers house and mothers love are mighty hard tO beat. But then a happy marriage is the highest state of happiness, and every girl ought to look forward to 1t.
 There are lots of clever young men of good principles and who have been raised of good parents. The girls ought tO mate with 'em, money or no money Money IS a good thing, but principle Is better; and If a young man has got both, and don't drink or gamble, and Is in- dustrIOus and healthy, why he is all right, and if I was a girl I would put him on probation and say, think you are very good man, but you know l am an angel, and if. We'll, if he seemed to doubt my being an angel I would just tell hIm to go hence. If young man don't look upon his girl as an angel be- fore he marries he never will afterward. and If l was girl I would be an angel Rs long as I could.

Going tO Arizona.

The drift of the mining business is just now toward Arizona. The bonanza firm. which has SO long been identified with Nevada,h has undertaken to develop the great riches of the Quiiotos district, and this fact has been enough to create A perfect stampede in that direction. Little else IS talked of by the Arizona newspapers than the expected develop ments in the Quijotoas, the best way Of getting there and how to secure the trade of the new camp. As stated ID the special dispatches to the Alta We'd nesday, the peak of Ben Nevis, Tn the mountains of the Quilotoas, seems des- tined to become the Mount Davidson of Arizona ESuch is the rush that the north ern portion of PinRl county IS almost de- serted. Doubtless many Of those who catch the contagious excitement of the moment and join the rush, do so with out any knowledge of what awaits them and may soon repent their hastiness Even If the mines prove all that IS expected of them, but few can make the fortunes to be secured by successful locations: and of the unlucky majority some may discover that they canno even find 6 market for their labor Il they go there at an unreasonable time On the whole. it would have been bette for inc California capital invested m th'

A CoRREsPoNDENr of an Eastern jour nal m speaking of the original Declara- ton of Independence which IS kept in the State Department says the strong ravs of light are gradually but surely destroying it. It is kept iD cherry case and under glass; the bold signature of John A. Hancock is faded almost entirely out. It seems strange that those who have charge of this most important and noted document of our early history should allow 1t to fade away. by placing it in the light to satisfy the few visitors who may desire to cast their eyes upon it. It should be placed in A strong box and filed away among the archives, where the present and future generations, could occasionally look it up and see that it IS safe; but II it IS continuously to be exposed for few more years, there will be nothing but the bare parchment left. It IS sad that two lines of names are already re- moved from the paper and that not vestice Of ink remains to show that names were ever there. Ben Franklin $ name Is entirely gone. Roger Sherman name Is fast fading; the name of Thomas Jefferson cannot be found and Elbrige Gerry has lost it. last syllable. Robert Morris, Benjamin Rush, Charles Carroll | and John Adams have been secured of by the light, and only eleven names out of the fifty odd can be read without 6 microscope. It is shame that so i'm
 portant paper should be thus destroyed
 and steps should be taken at once tC

The story has it that the zoo camels formerly used by the Southern Pacific railroad company Tn carrying freight across the dry wastes oi Anzoua, have been bought by one John ShIrly, an Australian sheep farmer for Sl0,000 and that he will use them on the deserts of that country.

A Strange Resemblance.

lnAAolN NhuNltlsl
 A few days ago Miss Jennie Hagen, of Angola township, was passing a second hand picture dealers store In Buffalo when she noticed among some NlS paint inSs picture that was striking like ness of herself. Looking at the rehec- ton of herself in the window and then upon the oil painting, the resemblance was wonderful The young lady, who is only ten years old, returned home to Angola full of her discovery, insisting that some one had been painting her picture and arranging her as fright (the girl of the painting was dressed in the style of the last century.) Incited by curiosity, some of the family went to Buffalo, and upon seeing the picture were as amazed as Miss Jennie.
 Their bewilderment was increased by declphering the name of Jennie on the back of the painting. It also bore the name of the artist, ''Richardson, Phila- delphla-' The painting was bought for S3.5O and was sent to the young lady's grandmother in Erie, Mrs. Dr. J. M. Clark, who recognized 1t as a portrait of her grandmother, Jennie Elizabeth Nc Michael, an intrepid Philadelphia girl. whose adventures during the Revolu- tionary period were told at hundreds of hresides by the grandfathers and grand mothers ot the present generation.

RETROSPECTIVE.

The year 1883 was marked with an al-
 most anomalous mixture of prosperity
 and calamity in this country, Europe
 and Asia. Peace brooded over the na- uon, while, at the same time, warfare mingled with the industries of the country, In the strife between labor and capital The harvests of the country were unusually abundant, and the farm ing communities rejoiced in visible re- lease from the burden O. debt, while business men amid distrust and appre- hension, struggled and staggered along, oppressed with the fear of coming panic. Contagious diseases scarcely secured a foOt-hold on our shores, cpl denies were less common than generally in former years, and ''distressingly healthy" was the verdict of the doctors; as au offset for which came up cries of distress because of the startlingly un- usual calamities on sea and land; floods and cyclones, shipwrecks and railroad accidents, burning hotels, bridges, theaters and school eiifices.
 The papers throughout the country
 reported beautiful autumn, ladened
 with its golden harvest, pcrfumed with
 an unusually balmy atmosphere, and
 decorated with its more than ordinarily
 gorseous sunset; but following closely

TIE Philadelphia Press recommends General Butler for governor of Utah. II Butler has not lost the grip he main tained at New Orleans, he has just the kind ot executive ability required for the management of that pestiferous set and if his views are in accord with the republican party on that one subject, we doubt whether there would be much obiection to his appointment, notwith- standing his politics. Besides, in sending him to manage a troublesome element abroad. the Eastern States would get rid of one at home.
