1t has often been said that the father
who takes wine before his sons, or visits
his spirit closet in their presence, sets
them, although Internationally, per-
nicious example that may possibly bear
bitter fruit in the years to come. How
much worse, then, the example of a tip
ping mother, even though the beverage
be the harmless and popular one of
beer! The result can not be other
than unfortunate. Children form their
characters on the models of their elders.
and are very quick to observe and
ready to initiate. Parents being the
family arbiters of right and wrong. chill
dren naturally expect practice as well
as preaching, and are more prone to
follow the former than the latter.
Both the use and abuse of stimulants
by women are largely upon the increase
IN this country. The police returns of
this city are alone sufficient evidence of
this. No reasoning individual but must
see and appreciate the fact that if, I'M
der the strict ''old-fashioned' ideas re-
garding the use of liquors by women, a
thousand women, gathered promis-
cuously from all classes, yielded ten
inebriates, now, with the doing away
of those ideas largely, and the more
popular Introduction of stimulants as
beverages. the same number of women
viii yield tsojce as many hard drinkers
as the first thousand And the free
use of stimulants is on the increase.
Beer has been and still is the entering
wedge that is opening frightful gap in
the happiness of our homes and the
purity and modesty of our women.
The prison, the almshouse, the police
court-ay, even the scaffold-bear tes-
timony to the dangers of this deadly
sfmulant. Wrecked homes, broken
hearts, blasted lives and hopes, grow
rank upon this soil. The CHASTITY rel
les of once pure and modest woman
hood leer at us from the dark streets;
stagger, tattered and bedraggled
wrecks, into the grog-shop; gaze, pale
and wasted, from the hospital cot, with
large, hungry, mournful eyes; stare
stonily at US from the marble slab of
the morgue, or float aimlessly out to
sea with the changing tide.
1t is a sad subject from any and every
point of view, and the freer use of slim
ulants and narcotics by all classes is be-
coming a problem of serious proper
tons. The question meets us in every
walk of life, whether as private citizens
or public officials, and demands careful
consideration and painstaking investi-
cation. Woman herself, however, holds
the key to the whole matter, and de-
cides for or against according as she in
dulges in or countenances the free use
stimulants, of late become SO popular.
Her duty to herself, her children and
her sex bid her use every effort to dis
countenance and check by every means
in her power this growing evil.-Har-

THE TRYST.


Farewell, beloved we win not weep; It's but
little while;
When the snow is gone I shall return again,
with springs returning smile.
Where sunlight falls with shade and rain from
hurrying clouds that sweep
With nought betwixt me and the sky, there
lay me down to sleep.
The place is known to you and me, nor needs
1t more should know,
So raise no stone at head or feet, but let the
wild flowers grow.
And then some little part of me will creep up
through the mould,
The brightness of my hair will CLEAN from
king-cupS' hearts of gold.
The blue that's faded from my eyes viii meet
your eyes again,
When little speedwells on my grave smile
softly after rain.
When the warm blood Is frozen at my heart
and on my lips,
hh0Sl down above the dust and kiss the
daisy5 coral tips.
And when from out the sunset little breeze
comes by,
And flush Of deeper color steals across the
upper sky.
When the beech leaves touch and tremble,
whisper soft and then are still,
And bird hid in the thicket sings out sud-
den, sweet and shrill;
When faint voices Of the evening murmur
peace across the land,
And silver mists creep up and fold the woods
Or early in the morning when the world is yet
asleep,
And the dew lies white in all the shade where
the grass is green and deep,
You'll find me there, love, waiting you; and
you may smile and say:
Il met my darling all alone at our old tryst
to-day;
looked into her eyes SO blue, / stroked her
hair of gold,
We kissed each other on the lips as in the days
Of old.
sit was her voice SO low SO clear, that in my
ears did sound:
Beloved, there's no such thing as death; it's
life that have found
The life that thrills in leaf and flower and fills
the woods with song,
That thrills in all the cleaning stars when
winter nights were long
The life that passes with the winds from
utmost shore to shore,
Embracing all the mighty world, is mine for
eVermore.'"

THE TEMPERANCE SHIP.

Take courage, Temperance workers!
You shall not suffer wreck
While up to God the peoples prayers
Are rising from your deck.
Wait cheerily, Temperance workers,
For daylight and for land;
The breath of God is in your sail,
Your rndder in His handl
Sail on sail onl deep freighted
With blessings and with hopes:
The good of old, with shadowy hands,
Are pulling at your ropes.
Behind you, holy martyrs
Uplift the palm and crown;
Before you, unborn ages send
Their benedictions down.
Courage! your work is holy.
Gods eErandS never fail!
Sweep on through storm and darkness,
The thunder and the hail!
Work Oni sail on. the morning comes.
The port you yet shall win;
And all the bells of God shall ring
The ship of Temperance in.

GRAPES FROM SEED.

Fortunately, more attention IS now being given to the production of seed ling fruits than ever heretofore. Choice varieties from seedlings are the cxcep- ton rather than the rule. Ordinarily, where q single valuable variety is pro duced, score or more prove to be absolutely worthless. Nevertheless, the effort to produce new and more desirable varieties should be made. The great amount of fruit that can be pro duced on small area set With grape vines is an incentive to the production of choice varieties of grapes.
 Wash the seeds of well-ripencd grapes from the pulp, and mix them with equal parts of moist sand and mould. Place | the shallow boxes containing the seeds out of doors, so that the frost can act upon the seeds. Do not allow them to | become dry or watersoaked. In the spring, plant an inch in depth in beds of deep, rich soil, in drills foot or eighteen inches apart, placing the seeds an inch or two apart in tine drills. The young plants should he partly shaded for the first few weeks of their growth The surface of the ground should also be mulched, SO that the growth may he continuous. An inch or two of we'll routed manure that is entirely free from weed seeds is the best Tie the young lplants to light stakes as soon as large enough. If the season is dry one, give the bed thorough drenching at least once a week. Next November lay the young canes down and cover them lightly with corn stalks or evergreen bouphS

good as she is old, much may be expected of
the place. And so far it has done well.
While it is not beautiful city, having but
little of interest within it's limits, it is still
wide-awake progressive sort of place, and of
all it's rivals for popularity stands prominent
ly forth as a city of promise. There is
good deal of the antique about its streets
and houses, to be sure, and stranger is not
at a loss for causes Of complaint; but over
looking its defects, there is much that is
laudable, and the week passed in studying
the past and forming cOnjectureS as to the
future was not without its benefits and en-
iOyments. One day we rode to some neigh
boring canon snugly tucked away in crew
ice of the Catalina range, and at other times
across the plains to Fort Lowell, or to the
old mission Of San Xavier. The latter is
one of the monuments of Tucson. Finished
more than century ago and built by the
Spaniards, who brought so much religion to
the people whom they conquered, San
Navier (San Havier) is to-day one of the
largest as it is one of the best preserved OF
all the churches built during the years of the
Spanish occupancy of the Southwest. Rid
ing from Tucson for nine miles up the val
ley of the Santa Cruz River, one has glimps-
es, from time to time, through the groves of
live oak and muskete trees of the white
walls and graceful towers Of the church AS
they stand clearly outlined against the sky
beyond. 1t was down this valley of the
Santa Cruz, which is attracting so much at
tention as an agricultural section, that COro-
nado marched on his way from old Mexico,
in 1540 and before the advent of this in
trepid explorer and ever since the valley
has been inhabited by the Papago Indians,
whose adobe houses with thatched roofs are
scattered along the road leading to the mis-
sion. The Papagos are to Arizona what the
Pueblos are to New Mexico. PeaceaDle and
industrious, they are self-supporting and
prosperous, and to-day it is their cattle and
their farms which one sees and their brown
hued houses, with blackeyed children gath
cred about the open doorways, lend an ad-
ditional attractiveness to the ride.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.
Great is the problem of this life,
Which all its scenes involve;
Its Surglng waves come rushing on,
A mystery to solve.
The earth itself is bright and fair,
We catch it's vital glow;
Then swiftly as an eagles flight
Are overwhelmed in some deep woe.
We gaze in awe upon the blight,
Which with it's brightness copes;
Then gather up the bitter dregs,
The ashes of dead hopes.
And linger at the shrine of woe,
Its poisoned air inhale;
Till life becomes tragic dream,
Each human voice a wall,
Or drifting on with dreamy tide,
Lured by earth's glittering sheen;
Unheeding all if Pleasure reign
AS our most gracious queen.
This is not true philosophy,
But folly's fatal snare;
Brood not upon the darkened past,
OF it's lone shade beware.
And he not eager in the chase,
Mere Pleasures garb to wear,
Tier cudllSelul SdIlllelilS idao 'tiiN i'ti,
AS mist in morning air.
The Golden mean will surely win,
Its votaries will gain
a welcome entrance through the gates,
Where earth's best pleasures reign,
There is a wondrous power for good
In all earth's change and din;
When true philosophy we learn,
Life's golden days begin.

 NEW YORK, July 21.-Chairman George o. Jones of the Greenback State committee was found at the Sturtevant House this morning. He had just arrived from his home in Alba ny. He was opposed to being interviewed, complaining of the frequent misrepresenta- tions made in regard to him by the press. He Buffers nomination by the Indianapolis con- vention, he would support him, but only up on the condition that the general soon asserts his attitude. 'I want to know, and without much further dickering, whether or not he intends to be our candidate, D said MT. Jones. F'I am of the opinion that he will remain in the field as the third candidate, but in com mon with others who contributed their time and money toward building up our party, am disgusted with his delay. We have es- tablished @ party which is based on sound principles and will continue to exist notwith- standing combinations made against it. We shall not be parties to any trade or traffic and want to know, and that pretty soon, whether ex-Governor Butler cares to retain our sup port. To be frank with you our party lead CTS did have an idea that he might secure the Democratic endorsement when they nominat- ed him and that influenced them somewhat in selecting him as their candidate" In con clusion MT. Jones said that the candidacy of General Butler should he conclude to run would injure Cleveland's chances in some sections, but in others Blaine would be hurt.

that the statements received did not show correctly and accurately the profits and losses upon the transactions. The statements were condensed and it was impossible for him to thoroughly understand them on account of their meagreness. The sales and purchases were all made in the name of the firm. He alleges that the firm of McGeoch, Everingham & Go. became insolvent in June, 1883, and McGeoch, who was member of the firm, was unable to meet his obligations, but Wells never pre- tended to be insolvent. His counsel advised that nearly all of the transactions were in violation of the laws of Wisconsin and Hi nois against gambling, but he never set this up defense to his liabilities. He paid McGeoch $225, 1000 toward effecting a settle ment with the creditors, which was a larger sum than McGeoch was bound to pay. He never pretended to be insolvent, but when told by McGeoch that the lard losses amounted to $3, ,500, 900 The said he could not raise that amount of money This is the long awaited answer in the celebrated litigation between the great spectators who were shorn of mil lions in the great lard deal of last July. The case is dragging along in the courts and all efforts to compromise have failed. The plaintiff and defendant will be examined be- fore the court commissions at an early day. It will be remembered that Wells first
 
 lard, and McGeoch then instituted counter suit, charging that Wells defeated the deal by refusing to advance the promised money, and claiming $1, ,000,00 damages.

An Important DecI.Ion

CHICAGO, Ill. July 21.-Judge Blodgett rendered to-day decision which is impor- tant as settling the liabilities of branch of a foreign bank to pay the United States tax on allotted capital. The case in point was that of the United States vs the Bank of Montreal to recover $S3, 900, that being one twenty fourth of one per cent. of the money which the Chicago branch received monthly from the main bank. The Bank of Montreal was able in view of the small tax, it said, to lend money cheaper than any other bank in this city: Judge Blodgett decided that the Chicago bank was unincorporated under the laws of the United States and should be treat ed as an individual. An appeal will be made to the Supreme court
