4 PHENOMENON OF 1883 TO BE RE PEATED ON THE l6TH OF
 THIS MONTH.

On February l2, 1888, there was . large eclipse of the sun in the Atlantic States,
 which was annular in nun Der of them.
 After the usual interval of ffty-four years and thirty days, that eclipse vill re

THE SILVER QUESTION.

The silver question is the great question
 of the hour. An advance all along the line is being made by those who desire to prsctica ally demoneiize the white metal for the proposal 10 suspend the coinage is nothing less. It does not seem as if great success would attend the efforts of the de- monetiEen, bu. they gre active and vigi- lant in season and out of season. The Cove nment of the United States has been largely at their beck and call, and has pat ted them on their back in all their strug- glea. This arises from the fact that the Cabinet is not directly accountable to Con- gress- That so many of the leading men of the principal silver producing country in the world should be SO anxious to register black mark against that metal !. its ser vice in the cause of the worlds coinage, might well be looked upon as phenome n. n, We're 1t not known that the possesors of gold desire to enhance the value of that metal snd to depreciate everything else. There can be little doub. tha. the general efforts at characterization of silver, partially successful as they have been. and the in creasing demand for gold combined with the increasing scarcity of the more valuable metal, are responsible for the general dull ness all the world over. This dullness is the result of lower prices, and lower prices mean d.ar gold. Silver equally with gold is legal tender, as far a, standard dollars are concernei, for all debts, public or pri- va,e. But the successive Secretaries 0f the Treasury have not so considered it. They have continued to accumulate it in the Treasury vaults and pay out gold. \ re- versal Of the process would advance the price of silver and the worlds markets keep down the price If gold, sni keep more of the latter in the Treasury, for large s;l- yer certificates form very desirable me dium. In view of the general dullness of trade aod the low prices, it seems to US desirable to increase rather than diminish the silver coinage. What is needed IS 10 obtain it's circulation amongst the people, acco npanied by its concumitant of silver certIicat es.

HOW TO DRIVE YOUR HUSBAND
 AWAY.

Some benedict who has evidently got tired of hearing only the one side of the story, the woes of the wives, walizes into the arena with the following suggestions. for making home unpleasant for the hus band:
 iienpeck him. Snarl at him. Find fault with him. Keep an untidy house Humor him half to death. Boss him out of bis boots. Always have the last wsrd. Be extra cross on wash day. Qanrrel with him over trifss. Never have meals ready in time Run bills withou, his knowledge. Vow vengeance on all his relations. Let him sew the buttons on his shirts. Pay no attention to household expenses. Give as much ss he can earn in month for new b'one'. Tell him as plainly IS p's.ihle that you married him for living. Raise q -~- if ire ass-r sv Svr .preas1nriy 70 ,,;l lady friend. Provide any sort of pick up meals for him when you do Dot expect strangers. Get everything the wolna next door gets. whether you can afford It or not. Tell him the children inheri, all their mean traits of character from his side of the fam fly. Let 1t out sometimes when you are vexed that you wish you had married some other fellow tha; you used to go with Give him to understand as soon as possible after the honeymoon, that kissing is well enaugh for spoony lovers, hut that fir mar ried folks it is very silly

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

A disgusting spectacle was presented in Lonlon n sh Tt time since in the attempt to hang the murderer Lee.

Unbrokea in spirit sitter the frs; failure, dazed after the second, the victim was carried away in swoon after the third futile effort, and the curious crowd dispersed, seized ny kind of over towering dismay like tha, of superstition The painful affair is caled by civilized pep ple a leg,l execution Had it occurred two centuries ago, anl we were 10 read Tn books about II, we would cast our eyes to~ard heaven and exclaim in pious indignation: What barbaric laws they had in those times We would like to know if dis gusting spectacle of that kind Is calculated to deter future criminals from committing capital offenses, ar if the well being of so- ciety Is subserved therebyl We hear of some philan bropic souls who sugges: ss measure of rrform a more expeditions and scientific method of approved murder, like the French guillotine or the Spanish gar otte

The abore named gentleman, who yester- day was nominated and confirmed aa Coun- ty Judge of Mohave county, is ono of the best kn,wa lawyers on the Pacific coast and stands in the frs: rank of the profession of which he is so brilliant sn ornament. Judge Murphy has been for nearly fifteen years a resident of Arizona, but has been SD often called on, professionally, to attend to mining litigation without its bound ries, that .h.ra is harily z camp of any pxonlin- ence in :he West that he is not thoroughly acquainted with. As a mining lawyer he has but few equals, ani his attainnen,s in this peculiarly intricate branch of the legal profession makes his appointment as judge in the rich mining county of Mohave a most appropriate one.

POLITICAL LIBERALITY.

The eourse which Governor Tritls has pursued in disregarding political consider ations out of deference to the wishes of the people in making bis appointments to office, during the present session of the Legisls- ture, is s.rikingly in contrast with the par iisan bigotry that charscterizes the Demo cratic members of the House in the early part of the session. when that body was asked to officially recognize the high and unimpeachable spirit of devotion to the in terests of Arizona, which has been so pro nounced during the administration of our present executive. Disregarding the petty feeling which prompted the Dem'cra.ic members on that occasion. Governor Tritle has never sought cheap satisfaction by con ferring on the members of his own party
 the gifts nf his office. To him the wishes of the people at large were If paramount importance, and the securing of the mos, capable man of far greater momen. than the rrward;ng of party feAlty.
