True Fascination.

The reign Of very young girls over
the heart of man is ended. Sweet
sixteen" is insipid-" fascinating
eighteen tame. At twenty five the
young lady of the present may be said
to be interesting, at thirty she is
charming, and at tbirty.three she is
fascinating. But it is not till the
woman gets we'll into the forties that
she reaches the angelic period where
temper no longer Yields the mastery,
and mature thoughts smooth out the
rugged outlines of her mental life. If
she understands the art of selfpreser-
walton she may also retain at this age
the better part of her physical charms,
and be pretty in spite of the years.
Ninon de L'Enclos was regarded as
belle at the age of sixty, and care and
discretion are only necessary to carry
the beauty Of youth far into mature
life. Another custom is coming into
vogue, which must lend hope to many
spinster and widow of uncertain age,
and that is the fashion of women
marrying men younger than them.
selves. Perhaps this can hardly be
called novel innovation, however,
for it has been practised In the older
countries for many years, and IN Ire.
land has long been the custom. DR..
johnson married woman old enough
to be his mother; Disraeli was many
years his wife's junior, and Aaron
Burr married widow several years
older than himself. The famous
Madame de Stael was forty.f four when
she picked up young officer of
twenty or so, and Rachel married
Varnhagen Won Ense, when she was
over forty. and he is in the twenties.
All Of these were happy marriages,
and Miss Thackeray, Mrs. Clark and
Margaret Fuller seemed to believe IN
such unions, for they chose compare
tive youngsters for matrimonial mates.
Modern and recent marriages of this
kind have proved lucky unions, and
as some of the latter have given sort
of tone and fashion to the custom, we
may look out for tide in that direc.
ton. II it becomes the fashion for
women to choose husbands younger
than themselves, old.fashioned folks
may preach against it in vain.

The Faith Cure and Warts.

Every "wise woman in the remote
districts of the country, to which the
spread of educational sweetness and
light has mostly confined such homely
oracles, possesses a "charm" for driv.
ing away warts. Even in the time OF
Lucien such practitioners of mild
species Of occult art were celebrated
for their successful treatment of warts
DR.. luke gives case in point in
which, through the effects of the
imagination, even in cultured person,
the growths in question were made to
disappear. A surgeons daughter had
about dozen warts on her hands, the
usual modes of treatment having
availed nothing in their removal. For
eighteen months the warts remained
intractable, until gentleman, noticing
the Disagreement, asked her to count
them. Carefully and solemnly noting
down their number, he then said;
"You will not be troubled with your
warts after next Sunday"
AT the time named the warts had
disappeared, and did not return. Here
the connection between the imagina.
tive impression of some occult or
mysterious power and the cure was
too close to leave doubt that, as in
other cases of bodily ailment, the
mind, which so frequently affect the
body to its hurt, had in turn favorab,y

ARIzONA'S EXHIBIT.
The Albuquerque Journal has a
 Talk with F. M. Murphy.

The Journal man had known for some days that MT. F. NJ. Murphy, the commissioner from the Territo- " of Arizona to the exposition at New Orleans, was registered at the Armijo House, but the force of CIT cumstances had kept the aforesaid reported from interviewing him until late hour yesterday.
 "What are you doing in Albuquer- quef'' queried the pencil pusher.
 Up to the present time have been waiting for certain letters and documents from Prescott, as well as being on the lookout for Governor TritIe of our erritory," answered the urbane and popular commits sioner:
 "Why the Governor passed through here yesterday" said the reporter.
 ''I have just discovered that fact myself and now I intend to leave your city for the south at 6:1O this evening. 1 am going to the south ern part of Arizona to appoint a mum Der of county commissi oners D
 "Has either the Territorial author ities or the county officials made any appropriati ons as yet to carry forward your work?"
 Not cent has yet been approe priated, but I shall go right along asking tho individuals and commu- mites to furnish the necessary funds for their own exhibits and then when the legislature meets again I shall go before that body and ask that every man be reim bursed. /"
 "How about your own personal expenses ?" put in the newspaper man.
 "Oh, well, 1 shall have to follow the same course as the others. 1 am golng to New Orleans before my return and from there to Chicago, where Ar1zonn people have an exhibit weighing about twenty tons sent 10 Chicago for their exposition
Weekly Phoenix herald., 1884-09-04

This exhibit I shall box up and forward to New Orleans"
 Have you been in different DOT tions of the Territory"
 "Yes, indeed; 1 have just returned from the Salt River valley aud the people in that district are fully alive to their own interests and will of course make full display. 1 have also been through Mohave county and the miners in that dis trict will send an exhibit that will represent their interests. I am busy just at present with our agricultural exhibit and hope to be able to make a full display, although the opening of the exhibition is pretty late in the season for our section of the country"
 The reporter left MT. Murphy feeling confident that Arizona had been extremely fortunate in it's choice of commissioner. and that Tn spite of the fact that their repre- sentative must advance even his own expenses, the Territory's inter- ests ou1d not be allowed to suffer.

 The fact that the sheriff receives five pen cent of tax for collecting them and the treasurer three per cent for receiving them from the sheriff has attracted general alten- ton, and the proposition is that the treasurer of county receives enough fees to do the collecting and thus save to the people the 5 per cent which now goes to the sheriff.

POLITICAL factions sometimes run things to such extremes that they lower political emulation to the condition of petty personalities and often do great injury to their party and even to the whole community by allowing the themselves to advo- cate men and measures that in the cooler consider ation of such mat ters they would scorn to fird them selves taking a part in. No man can take hand in the dirty work of politics without dispising him self afterward if he has any self, respect, whatever.

A BLOODY BATTLE.

CHARLLos, PERU, via Galveston, Aug. 29.-In Lima yes terday there was a storm of bullets for over six hours. Caceras entered the city with his rabble yelling and firing. The night before all the Gov ernment troops were withdrawn into the cuartel and palace, and the entry of Caceras, although not unexpect- ed, was somewhat of a surprise. His men captured the cuartel and the churches of Mercedes and San Aug gustine from which they kept up a fusilade. They also attacked the Guadaloupe railroad station, About 150 persous were killed in Mercedes and Colleagues streets and near the palace square, where the fire was hottest. Finally the Government troops made sortie and a: last sucs ceeded in driving out the mob Ca
