A Cautious Lover.

John Shorger has been paying
marked attention to Miss De SmVthe,
one of the bellies of Texarkana. He
has come very near proposing several
times, but did not dare to risk it for
fear she might refuse to amalgamate.
He got around it very nicely, however.
while escorting her home from church.
He said:
Miss De smythe, if there is any
thing in the world I dislike it is to
have young lady refuse me. | wish
you would tell me if you would say
yes, in case | were to ask your hand
in marriage. /"
She suggested that he try it, but he
thought he had better wait awhile I'M
til he could see his way more clearly

SeIf-PreserVation Natures First Law.
The old saying, "a stitch in time
saves nine," can very appropriately
be applied to the preservation Of health.
Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
SarsapariIla has undoubtedly saved
thousands of mortals to lives of useful
ness and the full enjoyment of perfect,
robust health.
The first symptoms of bodily ailments
should be needed. Such evidences of
approaching prostration as feeling
of WEAKNESS and lassitude, anxiety of
mind, peculiar aches and pains in the
joints and limbs, disordered digestion,
urinary sediments, etc, should quickly
be counteracted by judicious use OF
this invigorating strengthened.
The remedy has stood a test of
forty years, and has proven itselfin
every instance the best blood puri-
fer, system renovator and strength
ening cordial that can be compound
ed from a thorough knowledge of
medicinal herbs and roots.
Try it whenever you don't feel
exactly well. Try it when things
seem to go wrong and you hardly
know what is the matter with you.
You will be gratified by its exhilar-
ating effect. The exuberance of
al4nal spirits engendered by it's use
gives it first rank among the
true assistants of nature in curing
facilitating diseases.

nearest druggist. If he has none on
hand, insist on his procuring it for you.

Another heir has been heard
 from as claimant to the vast estate of Thomas H. Blythe. the eccen> tric millionaire. Up to the 4th in.
 stant it was supposed that there were but fOtty-seven sole heirs to the property, but in the afternoon a dispatch was received by Vice. Consul Mason, of her British Msjesty's service, to the effect that a will had baen found in England, executed by Blythe in 184S, in which Caroline Glover Robson Is named as universal legatee. No one was named as executor. The telegram created
 quite a surprise in the office of the Public Administrator in San
 Francisco, when MT. Mason pre- senied it. as nothing had ever been heard of Robson. AS no further particulars were for> warded, it is not known whether the universal legatee is a married
 or single woman, or what her re- lations with Blythe nearly forty years ago were. If the will is genuine at the time it was signed Blythe undoubtedly had but a small amount of property to be. stow upon the new claimant. T. E. K. Cormack filed a notice in the Probate Court on the 14th in. stant of the claim of the English woman, so as 10 give hera chance to prove the validity of the will, as by law of California. would sbu ut her out in year. It is ex- pected that the will and woman will put in anappearance in a few weeks. The Blythe estate in- cludes the Colony near Eheren- berg, in San Diego county and the Lerdo Colony in Lower California.

Here is what the San Jose, California. Herald has to say of the recent Legisla- ture of that state: "Of course the late Legislature, of infamous memory, has been vigorously denounced already for it's corruption and extravagance, but wait until the next tax levy is made, and then the denunciation will be louder thsn ever. State tax last year was 45 cents on the s100; this year it will be 57 cents, if not more, even with the tremendous increase in the valuation of property by difference will bring curses long and loud upon the thieves who raided about $3,. 100000 out of the treasury, which must be paid ny the taxpayers"

The sailing craft commanded by Capt. Esselburn in Yuma was injured very much during the gale last Sunday night. All her rigging and sails were blown away, leaving the bare masts and cross bars. It is estimated that between 9O0 and 1000 souls were swept overheard from the deck into the sea. Capt Esselburn and his faithful crew after being tossed about for several hours finally succeeded in entering the harbor and the craft is now safely moore1 on the northeast corner of Main and Second streets, Yuma, where she is undergoing repairs At this writing all her sail and rigging had been put in place again and the ship will shortly put to sea and set her rudder for her point of destination.

The Tramp Nuisance,

It is 8 sad commentary on a country like the United States, where every resource known to industry is at its highest, that American citizens, particularly among young men, should be re- duced to the degraded condition of tramps. The reason for this deplorable state of affairs, in this regard, is perhaps plainer to political economist, than to a per son who takes the world as it comes, and when only as occasion requires pries into the causes that produce irregularities in our system of government. There is a cause for the tramp nuisance, just as much as there is cause for the Colorado river 10 flow towards the ocean, and the men who fol> low this vocation, (fOr it may be regarded now as a business in order to subsist) can no more help it. than we can help any other effect that is produced by power that is beyond our control. It is want and destitution that impel these men to deeds of crime to get the wherewith to assusge hunger and obtain clothing to cover their nakedness. This, however, is but an effect, and the cause is beyond the control of any effort that a single individual could make. But suppose we could solve the problem and by an herculean effort Of both brain and will power reach the very goal that produces this deplor- able condition of things, what then? The evil would still go on and trampism would still exist, for it would not do any good to reach the cause without the same could be removed and thus des- troy the effect. The laws that produce tramps, under the pres- ent state of business affairs. throughout the world, but more especially in the United States, are as uncomfortable and as firm, within their own barriers and the elements that support them, as were the laws of the Medes and Persians, and the tramp element must exist just as much as any thing else that is produced by legitimate causes. The causes are obvious, and we need not go far into the sOlution of problem in political economy to point them out. What are they? Centraliza- tiOn of Capital, the vast and pow erful monopolies that control many of the industries that gave employment to thousands, whose places are now filed by cheaper labor and lastly the vast amount of labor saving machinery.

A Reminder.

In every business community. though, apparently. things may move on in smooth and even way, there are some things to be regretted. The utter forgetful- ness on the part of every business man to patronize industries at their own homes and places where they do business is one of the things 10 be deplored. Whether that neglect is caused by the spirit of independence that prevails with our merchants. or whether it is because they do not realize the injury they are doing themselves. and are ignorant of the baneful results and injury done to the community by thus neglecting to patronize home in. dustries. is more than we can tell. That the evil exists is suffi- cient for us to know, and we, hereby, protest against it's contin- uance. We are careful to practice what we preach, and in our line of business, whenever we need anything in our office to carry on our business, we always buy at nome and patroniZe our mer~ chants. The SENTINEL office is well equipped to do all kinds of job work, and being managed by a good and painsiaking printer, can turn out as good work as can be done anywhere in the Ter ritory, California, or any place East. The "Tucson Star" reiter- ates our sentiments when it says that "there is no necessity what> ever in sending your orders for job printing to San Francisco or some other sea port town" Sup pose it costs 2 little more? That should not cut any figure. When the consumer wishes any goods, and it is necessary for him to have them, he never finds fault, and without any reluctance pays the price. So it should be with the merchants, or any other busi- ness man. He should pay the price asked for printing, and he should advertise freely and thus help the paper that is helping him either directly or indii ectly, by writing up the town and county in wEich he Qhe mer. chanO does business, and thus in- duce peuple to locate among them. He does more. The newspaper man often calls espec- ial attention to the merchants goods, wares and merchandise free of charge. Newspapers are necessities in every community, and the people cannot we'll get along without them, and they should therefore support and maintain them to the best of the community's ability by throwing all the business thsy can in their way.
