TIE five BIsbee murdersrs have been sentenced to be hanged on the 18th of March. This year Of 1881 will be noted il this Territory as the great year for hanging murderers, and the result will be of great benefit to the Territory. The tme was, so the story has gone out to the world, that a murderer could not be convicted and hanged in this Territory. These hanging bees will prove to the world that there ire law abiding people here, and men who dare O testify to the truth, and we have judges and iurie5 who a1re to do their duty. It is a healthy state of affairs when the law can be executed and crime punished. Con vince the people East that life and property are safe m this Territory, and there will be no lack of immigration. and there IS uo better proof that the people of Arizona are determined to rid the country of such devils than the prompl trial and ouyictIon Of the mur- Ge-ers. Where life and property are known to be secure people will come. The days Of the boasting, murdernus cowboy are over, and there will follow m his wake people that will fill up tbe Territory by the thousands and make it houriah as a green bay tree in the hear of a "desert, or in other words, makn the tree flourish in the heart of the Ari- Zona deserts.

Significance Of Rings.

A person who writes to the Brooklyn
Eagle and inquiries as to the significance
of rings is thus answered:
It is understood that gentleman who
desires to marry wears plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger of the left
or heart hand. When he becomes engaged
the ring passes to the second finger. After
marriage it passes to the third finger. If,
however, the gentleman desires his lady
friends to clearly understand that he is
not sin the market" and does not wish to
marry at all, he wears the signet upon his
little finger. This will inform all ladies
that he is beyond reach. With the ladies
plain or chased gold ring on the little
finger of the left hand indicates mot en-
gagged" or ready for an offer. When en-
gagged the ring passes to the third finger of
the right hand. When married the third
Fl niger on the left hand receives the ring.
When a young lady desires to defy all
suitors she places rings-one on the first
and one on the fourth finger. A writer on
the subject of rings says: "Though the
ring of gold has long been looked upon as
a necessity in the marriage ceremony, it is
by no means indispensable, and civil mar
riages may be contracted without it. The
Paritans abolished the ring. or, rather,

else to do it. I have seen her carry up
Mrs. Belford' g breakfast daily to her room

Aunt Susan's Suggestion to Fretful
Wife.

"Hester" exclaimed Aunt Susan, ceas-
ing her rocking and knitting, and sitting
upright. ''Do you know what your hus-
band will do when you are dead?"
"What do you meant" was the startled
reply.
HE will marry the sweetest tempered
girl he can find"
80, auntie-' Hester began.
"Don't interrupt me until have finish
ed" said Aunt Susan, leaning back and
taking up her knitting. "She may not be
as good housekeeper as you are-in fact
think not; but she will be good natured.
She may not even love him as much as
you do, but she will be good natured."
"Why auntie
"That isn't all, !" continued Aunt Susan.
Every day you live you are making your
husband more and more in love with that
good natured woman who may take your
place some day. After Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
rison left you the other night, the only
remark he made about them was: ''She
is sweet woman"
SO, auntie-''
THAT isn't all,'' composedly continued
Aunt Susan. To-day your husband was
halfway across the kitchen floor, bringing
you the first ripe peaches. and all you did
was to look on and say, There, Will, just
see your tracks on my clean floor. I won't
have my clean floors all tracked up!' Some
men would have thrown the peaches out
OF the window. To-day you screwed up
your face when he kissed you, because his
mustache was damp, an d said: II never
want you to kiss me again. When he
empties anything you tell him not to spill
it; when he lifts anything you tell him
not to break it. From morning until
night your sharp voice is heard complain
ing and fault-6nding. And last winter
when you were sick, you scolded him
about his allowing the pump to freeze,
and took no notice when he said: Il was
SO anxious about you that I did not think
about the pump.'''
"But, auntie-''
"Hearken. my child. The strongest
and most Intelligent of them all care more
for a woman's tenderness than for any,
thing else in the world; and without this
