The year just closed leaves Cochise county in as fourishing a condition as it ever has been since its creation. It IS an undoubted fact that it has received very serious drawbacks from the con tinuous ra,ds made through its borders by the Apaches, despite all the devilish work of these fiends, Cochise county has proceeded quietly on her way to prosperity. A reporter of the EPITApH yesterday in glancing oyer the books of County Treasurer A. J. Ritter, gleaned ', ,he following facts theretrom: We found \hat all salary warrants have been paid, nd there is al the present writing sui ;ient funds in the treasury to satisfy all ary warrants for the coming Sqaar.sI, oh is of itself guarantee that our cials are we'll provided for.

 1hs showing should make the
 lnts drawn upon this fund at least worth o6 cents on the dollar. The money to meet all outstanding interests on county bonds is now in the hands of Treasurer Ritter, viz Court house, re- demp,ion sinking Tombstone school and redemption sinking bonds All has been done that is possible by our county officials to keep this county free from debt. A. J. Ritter has been care tul and conscientious guardian of the public treasury, and to his faithful anu able management is largely due our present splendid financial showing. Drive the hostiles from our borders and ere another year elapses Cochise county with her magnificent possibilities and splendid facilities will enjoy season of prosperity seldom if ever eqsaled in this country. The prosperous condition of our ranchers and stockmen bear testi- mony to this fact.

Residents of the backwoods of Penn sylvania do not relish the appearance of too many hunters in their preserves. Several lumber camps in the northwest ern part of the state have been lately burned to prevent their occupation as lodges by hunting parties, and number of hounds have been poisoned.

ulity and her provoklng sniIIe w1tn a look which was meant for an injured and indignant one; but felt that my hot face betrayed me, so l said nothing more about it then.
 A few days only had elapsed since Jenny and I had looked over the prem- ises to let; or, rather, since Jenny had. looked them over, while 1 had-but no matter; a few days after 1 was at the cottage again, this time alone.
 The entire group of female mattresses showed me over the house again, the elder lady, the mother, pointing out to me the conveniences and praising them; and I, looking always at Mary, who seemed averse to parting with the home, assented to all the old lady said about the rooms, etc., while my eyes took in nothing, and my wounded heart assent ed to nothing except Mary and her love, her heart.
 "How much of a family have you, Mir. BartonP" said Mrs. Anderson incl dentally, while showing the neat bed chambers.
 I stood in the upper hall surrounded by the three young ladies, and the mother stood at the door of the front chamber.
 .'None at all," replied thoughtlessly.
 Four pairs of astonished eyes of var ious hues were focused upon me in- stantly.
 The grey eyes of the elder woman seemed to pierce my subterfuge, but 1 turned to the liquid brown eyes for re- lief to find in them puzzled expression only.
 ''Then you are contemplating mar riage? questioned Mrs. Anderson.
 'Ycs," l said boldly, still staring at pretty Mary, who turned away her eyes. 'I think the place will suit me very well," added mechanically. And then to myself: 1t would be paradise for me, with that girl to share it!'' ''And could you decide the p,attcr soonp" asked Mrs. Anderson. 1t is getting to be quite annoying to have
 so many people running in to look il over."
 'It must be, indeed" I replied. "She includes me, of course, in the annoy ance," I mentally added. Il will take the place." said 1 suddenly, with the foolhardy reservation vivid.y in my
 mind-"if Mary will remain and be its mistress"
 The latter had turned away from the little group, but not before 1 had seen the miserable tears start into the deal eyes. She was evidently pained at the thought of leaving the pretty nest What should 1 dop "God knows 1 don't want her to leave it," I thought. 1 would take the wise sister into full confidence, and she would undoubtedly pilot me through the trouble. Before leaving 1 had managed to add
 another crime to my sins by stealing from the center table daguerreotype oi
 Mary, just as she appeared to me in the garden, dress, hair, and all. l Intended faithfully to replace it again upon the table as soon as 1 could have copy taken.

being then called the 'Pontic dog. 1t is
said that the Russian conquest of Siberia
was prompted by the importance of this
article, and the Siberian tribute was paid
in furs. In the twelfth century the art
of dyeing furs was. invented and the
secret has been kept with such success
that the London dyers stand unrivaled.
Furs were then limited to the nobility as
a mark of rank. and no one WA allowed
their use who did not spend 100 pounds
sterling a year, which was then an inn
mense sum. The profits OF the business
have always been large, at least among
first hands.
The most valuable American fur is the
silver fox, which in some instances has
brought $50. They are sold in Europe,
and also in China, where they bring an
enormous price. The Robe of State
belonging to the British throne is lined
with sable which cost 1000 pounds sterl-
ing. AS our mink is a species of sable it
Is often dressed so as to pass for the
genuine article. The largest fortune
ever made in the fur trade was Astor's.
and it is probable that he cleared s., 600,
900 in this manner.-Cincipnati En-

Collection OF Ancient Cloth Textures.
Herr Theodor Graf, the Persian carpe,
merchant of the Schiller-platz, Vienna.
who treated for the purchase of Arch
duke Renters papyri in Egypt, and
brought that valuable collection to Aus
tria, has just completed a unique collec-
ton of Egyptian woollen and linen
cloths. 1t includes more than 300 speci-
mems, dating from the fourth TO the
ninth centuries, and all in good preserva,
ton. The specimens have almost all
been excavated from tombs, and it took
many years 10 collect, and clean them
They are stitched on large and small
folios of cardboard, with hy-leaves to
protect them from dust, and every frag-
ment can be easily and closely examined
Some of the fragments are only a foot
square, but the large specimens com.
prised an entire Roman toga, said to be
the only one e~xtant. with purple clovi,
and a great many embroidered dresses.
The collection is most interesting a.

ting, crewel work and needlework. That
