 The following touching obituary notice ap- pears in an Arizona paper: The stalwart form of our genial friend and fellow citizen, Abe Gunner, is stiff and cold, owing to g little trouble he had with Bite Off Ransom. It is not our province to say which was right, but to voice the general sentiment of regret that Abe is no more. As mixer of drinks he reached up into the artistic, and the patrons of the Montezuma all recognized the fact Abe will be buried with all the bullets which he received in the encounter, none of which, we are glad to say, are in his back, as it is not deemed necessary to get them out. The best people of the town will unite in doing honor to his memory.
 New Years day at Paris witnessed the in auguratio1i of an important postal reform. Five telephonic bureaus were opened at we'll chosen centers of business or population. The Bank was necessarily the most important, and the office of the Grand Hotel gave the greatest facilities to strangers. but Parisians in all directions could avail themselves of the offices temporarily opened near the Made lein, in the Rue de Grenelle, on the Boule- yard Malesherbes, and in the great center of the Halles. The use of these offices was not restricted merely to subscribers. The pub lie had access to all of them, and the scale of payment was fixed by time, and charge of half a franc laid down as the unit of pay ment. This secured five minutes uninter rupted conversation, with the privilege of ratable protraction.
 Plentiful as beggars are throughout Portu- gal, there is absolutely no government sup ervision or any attempt at poor-law sys- tenn, and although begging is forbidden by law even Lisbon itself is infested by profes- sional mendicants. The evil is still worse in the country where indiscriminate charity has produced race of hereditary beggars Some of the towns possess relieving officers established by private benevolence, and in the larger ones there are also hospitals for the indigent poor, called Santa Casa da Mis- ericordia Lisbon and Oporto each contain lunatic asylums supported by municipal sub yentions, the latter having $50 inmates; but the only institution supported by the State is the Misericordia at Lisbon, where LOGO foundlings are brought up and taught a trade Even this establishment only re- ceives 15 per cent. on the sale of lottery tickets.

A Party Named johnson.

"And if the same patty named John

clean hundred dollars that would be con-
6dential alsoP'
Yes
"And if this man johnson should
further add that he had been drunk
twice, had three fights, been licked
three times and was all broke up and a

nickel you wouldn't give it away so
that his family could hear Of ita'

act of seif-aestruction, had been driven
to it BY The persistenspersecution which
she had undergone at the ruthless hands

Coroner stated the remarkable fact that

Hindoo social habits. The only change
which would be efectual is. for the
Young Hindoo not to bring his wife
home to the paternal mansion, but to

monial partner, according to European
custom. This. however, would be such a
complete revolution in native habit, see
ing that several generations usually live
and have their being under the same
roof-tree, that centuries would be neg
essary to bring it about. We should
rather, perhaps, look to the aneliorating
and humanizing tendencies of the noble
efforts of those Christian ladies who pen
