SOLITUDE.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow Its
mirth,
But has trouble enough Of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer,
Sigh, 1t is lost on the air,
The echoes bound to joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleas.
ure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many,
Be sad, and you lose them all,
There are none to decline your nectarei
wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded,
Fast, and the world goes by,
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room In the halls of pleasure
For large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow halls of pain.
-lElla Wheeler.

terday afternoon. Holy communion
was administered to Frank Miner, the
colored wife murderer, in the presence
of large congregation Of colored per-
sons, by members of Roberts Colored
Young Mems Christian association and
the pastor of st. Paul's colored Baptist
church. During the unusual cere-
mony of administering the last Lords
supper to a condemned murderer sew
erai strange incidents occurred. In
the midst Of solemn prayer the loud
sauealing of rat echoed through the
building, and the next instant one of
those uncanny animals rushed out into
the rotunda from the direction of the
cell formerly occupied by Guiteau.
After hasty survey of the situation
the rat rushed through the congrega-
ton, and upon reaching Miner, who
with bowed head was listening to the
PRAYER, proceeded to climb up the leg
of his trousers. The murderer was
strangely affected by the event, and
after he had struck the animal and
driven it off he trembled visibly.

The Western Wool Growers.

The Western wool growers, in con-
vention at Denver, adopted the follow
ing memorial to congress:
Whereas, The wool growers of Colo
RADIO, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, Nebras-
ka, Idaho, New Mexico and Minnesota
assembled in convention in the city of
Denver, representing 100000 sheep
and $50, 100000 invested capital, and
an annual yield of 5,OOO, 900 pounds OF
wool; and
Whereas, Said industry has been
greatly injured by the reduction Of the
tariff bill of May, 1883, and now threat
ened with total destruction by the Nor
rison tariff bill, just reported to the
house of representatives by the COM
mittee of ways and means; be it, there
fore,
Resolved, That we, the wool growers
in convention assembled, are opposed
to the provisions of the Morrison tariff
bill now before congress, which aims
to make :, further reduction of five per
cent on all foreign woods and woolens,
and that we ask reduction of the
tariff of 1867 in its entirety as far as it
relates to woods and woolens, by which,
tor the first time in the industrial his
tory of the country, equitable relations
were established between the duties on
wool and those on wooden goods.
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
to work for and to aid in the restoration
of the tariff of 1867 on woods and wool
ems, and request all persons engaged
in or Interested in the wOOl-growing in
dustry to cooperate with us.
Resolved, That we, as wool-growers
and citizens, pledge ourselves to stand
by all committees and associations in
giving full and complete protection to
all American industries in need of the
same, and cordially invite their coop
Grafton in this matter.
The memorial concludes with an APP
peal to the western senators and repre-
sentatlves in congress to do all in their
power to restore the tariff of 1867.
The Hon. E. M. Morrill,, of Kansas,
was selected to present the memorial to
congress.

.Willem indeed saw nothing of the
kind, but he saw enough of what was in
store for him. He went home his wife
gave him a cross reception. In the
evening he went out, and when he came
home his wife was sick abed. AS he
was going out again the next evening
supper was not yet ready. So it went
on, and his wife looked daggers at him
all the time, and his mother-in-law
preached necessarily. Willem gave up
seeing his friends, and now lives in &C
cordance with his wife's wishes.
Every morning he rises at eight
O'Clock and goes about in his dressing
gown until twelve. Then he is allowed
to 90 out; at one o'clock sharp, how
ever, he must be back again, for his
wife has laid down the rule never to
wait with the meals. In the afternoon
he may do what he pleases, but not 60
out, for then his wife would have to sit
alone; nor read, for then he could not
talk with his wife; and not sleep, for
he is still too young for that. Other
wise he can do anything he ikes-for
example, hold the yarn or look after
the stove.
The evening excursions are done
away once for all, and there is no need
of his working. Every fortnight there
is company Of old wives and maid
ems, where lotto IS played the whole
evening.

success.
Mars appears to be the most injurious
planet to Jupiter, as when confgurated
by the square or opposition, or when
in conjunction, he causes extravaganza
and a foolish indulgence in hazard,
betting and speculation. The evil rays
of Saturn will frequently bring about
bankruptcy, but the trine or sextil is
excellent for dealing in real estate or
engaging in agriculture. Venus and
Jupiter, when together, give much
good taste. 1t is curious that these two
planets, rising at the same time, will
produce remarkably pretty blue eyes.
Jupiter in aspect to Mercury exercises
great influence upon the mind, causing
not only unusual ability, but honesty,
candor and strong sense of justice.
In judging the prospects of fortune
in nativity it is customary for the as
trologer first to note if there are many
planets in angles, and then if there are
many above the earth and oriental, for
all these are good indications. Next
he will see whether the sun and moon
have any confguration with Jupiter.
It must be likewise observed whether
the planets are for the most part signi-
fed, that is, in signs with which they
have sympathy. Jupiter, for instance,
is signifed in Sagittory and Pisces, be-
cause they are his houses; but the re-
verse in Gemini and Virgo, because
those two cast the opposition ray to
him when he is domiciliated. 1t is pro-
pitious to find the planets, particularly
the moon, moving rapidly. Neither
she nor the sun are ever retrograde,
but the others frequently are, and it de-
lays success.

Making It Hot For Them.

The "Of Wheeler" and his gang have evidently struck a pretty tough country along the line of the Atlantic and Pacific road. A correspondent writing from Ash Fork to the Presc ott Miner relates the following concern ing the deal they got in that place: "Last night was a lively time for Ash Fork. For some time this camp has been infested with lot of murderous cut-throats, bunko men, tin-horn gam blers and hard characters generally, with the "Off Wheeler" alias one Harlan, as the leader, apparently aided an6 abetted by so called good citizens. Yesterday it was quietly "passed along the line" that it was absolutely necessary for the peace, quiet and safety of our camp and its very good reputation to form committee of IoI." The organization was soon perfected and about dark last evening a notice sufficiently "pointed and painted" as we'll IS the consequences ''duly pictured" were served upon the of Wheeler" and two Of hls gang; and this morning Ash Fork is rid ol these murderers and cut-throats. As we are without the protection of the law we must protect ourselves. Last night our town was strongly patrolled and guarded by our abiding citi- zens, assisted by the frei ghterS, arm ed with WlnChesters, shot-guns etc. 'rin-horn gamblers, men without any visible means of support, etc., had in the future better give Ash Fork q wide berth, as the "committce of IoI" are determined to have law and order, no matter what the consequences may be-

ARIZONA'S BULLION PRODUCT.

Wells, Fargo x Co. have issued their annual statistical circular show the treasure production of the Uniteo States west of the Missouri river, a also of British Columbia and the yves, coast of Mexico. The total output of Arizona is estimated at SS,IS3,743. which gives her fifth place as to total value of production. This amount |, divided as follows: Gold, s4oo, ,6S6; silver, s4,I47,4a7; ores and base bull lion, S,535,63o. These statistics, as compared with the same for 1882, shows slight decrease, which so far as Arizona is concerned can easily be accounted for. With the return oi business activity and more settled condition of the Indian problem. prospecting will be carried on more extensively, and capital will be in vested more freely and with better confidence. The coming yer will see Arizona far in advance of hel present position as bullion produc. ing Territory.

The house. committee on public lands, in congress, at meeting held on the 2and, at which all the mem Ders but two were present, unanimous ly agreed to report to the house bill to declare forfeiture of the land, granted to. the Texas Pacific, The bill agreed upon bv the committee contains, besides the provision declar' ing the forfeiture of the lands granted to aid the construction of the rail road, sections validating all acts oi the department of the interior, Its of. hcers and local land officers, in per mitting homestead entries, selections and purchases of land granted the company, and in issuing patents, Ger tihcates and lists thereon, ard confirm ing the rights and titles of the parties holding patents or claiming the right of title under such certificates or lists of land. Payson will present the bill in the house tomorrow. The report recites the provisions of the act incor porating the Texas Pacific company. and briefly summarizes the history oi the company and the legislation in il interest down to November, 1881 when the fight between the Texas Pa. cihc and the Southern Pacific ended by a contract between them. It in. vites special attention to the hostility between the two companies down to this date, and quotes from the recently published Huntington correspondence to establish the fact of such hostility and its character. The report says on this point: "rhese letters tell tn, story.

A writer in the Washington Star Republican, says: "The Star lately mentioned that Senator Eaton had said the chief justice should be placed in the line of the presidential success, sion next to the speaker. Judge Black once told me he thought the same. A justice of the supreme court a few weeks ago, sad to me, however, that he did not think it would be wlse to 50 frame the law, for it might interfere with the impartialily of the decision of chief justice as to cases before the supreme court. He further said that to certainly remove the supreme court from the danger of having their usefulness impaired by seeking polit ical preferments, they should, when appointed for life to the position, be by law declared ineligible to any oth.

ANOTHER "HOLD-UP."
Lone Robber Stop the Wickensburg Stage at the same Did Place and Goes Through the Mail sacks.

At about 8 o'clock, Saturday even- ing last, as the driver of the Wick ensburg stage had plloled hi, "ouitil |" across Willow Creek, some three miles west Of Prescott, lone high wayman ordered hm to stop, throw up, throw out, etc. etc. The driver who was alone, obeyed orders and drove on. Officers who went out yes lerday morning found the mail pouchs cut open. Two registered packages contents unknown to us-were loot. ed by the robber, who also opened some other letters. Officers who went out early yesterday morning, collect. ed scattered letters, etc., and followed the land pirates trail until it became lost to them in the rocky country to the north of the road.
 Joe, the driver, is of the opinion that the robber was young and active. His face was covered end his feet were, of course. done up in sacks. The "hold up" occurred at, or near the same old place where stages have often been stopped and where, it ha, been said by a jury, old man Givens robbed another stage.-Courier.

An important question of etiquette was decided at the Presidents New Years reception. The point was whether, there being no presidents or vice-president's wife, the wife of the speaker ranked the wives of the secre- tary of state and chief justice as the first lady of the land" A precedent was established, for, when the hour for the reception arrived, Mrs Car. lisle, wife of the speaker of the house, came in upon the presidents arm, and took her place at his right. Mrs. Carlisle is therefore, in accordance with the law of etiquette, "lhe frs, lady in the land."
