The most flatterlng reports come from every portion of tfe range in Arizona. Early and abundant grass has already made it's appearance, while all stock have passed through the winter in excellent Shap-.

The forfeiture of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad land grant, while hard on that corporation k hailed with delight by settlers in the northern portion of the territory, not only because an opportunity is thereby given the public at large to avail themselves of the forfeited lands, but for the additional reason that it makes the possibility of big cattle companies controlling hundreds of thousands of acres very improbable. In the purchase of blocd.d bulls dur ing the last season Arizona has prob ably taken the lead of any state or territory in the west. and the general disposition now shown throughout the entire territory by stock associations to fCrce every stockman to furnish a graded bull for every twenty-five COWS he possesses, will insure still heavier purchases of such stock during Io86. -Hoof and Horn.

Killed by an Overdose.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.-At an inquest held over a child, the jnry found a verdict that 1t came to its death from an overdose of a cough mixture con taining opium. The coroner said that nothing was more natural than for parents, when their. children are slck with a cough or cold, to give them what they consider to be harm less remedy. Unfortunately, however, he said, morphia, or some other mar cotis, has hitherto formed the basis of all cough preparations and i, is gratifying to know that the new dis. tovery, Red Star Cough Cure, is free from opiateS or poison and has been endorsed by health officials in all sec. tionS of the country.

To the Editor of TIE EVENING STAR:
While walking through the magnificent pub
lie parks, which SO admirably adorn w ashing-

total absence OF clue indicating the kind OF
bush, shrub or tree which is apt TO attract the
attention not only OF visitors, but also of the
residents themselves.
How few persons are there who are able to
give name To one-tenth OF tine shrubbery or
trees shading the walks or blossonIing So prettiiy
by the way side? II Is not unsafe To conjecture
that there are not hundred persons in the
city VINO can give common names, or the scien-
tllc appeItlOn vi the trees Ia either the SMITH

HOW HousEKEEPERs MAY AVOID THE DIS

oil, much trouble would be saved; for while
no one expects to use large machine without
learning how to work 1t any one can use q
lamp.
Now, the wick is the pump to bring oil nom
the font to the blaze, and as there is always
more or less dust and dirt In the Oil the wick
soon becomes clogged up and cannot pump oil
fast enough for good light; SO q complaint Is
made, when q new wick would remove the
burns, leaving the heavy Oil, and Is the lam
is filled day by day the oil gets 90 heavy that
the draft is not strong enough to pump It up,
and it refilled with fresh Oil. And then the
burner, aitsr time, gets gunmed up, and the
smoky, uneven light, which is very vexatious.

A Tribute to Mr. Gladstone.

From the LONDON EconomISt
The seeding liberals must accept a. . result
of their action that Mr.. Gladstone's career will
be terminated, and we need not say how deeply
and how justly this will weigh upon their
minds. Most Of them have reverenced Mr..
Gladstone throughout their active lives. He
has been the best leader they Lave ever had
who, in many departments OF legislation, has
done them most successfully. He has, in fact,
even b ds whole mind to ne ee1es
did this about Egypt-and Ia Ireland his
failures, until the last election, have either
been partial, or have been concealed by the
current of events. A great financial genius a
heaven-born orator, q determined and skiilful
administrators, for example, in the great
ment OF the novel device adopted to carry the
last reform bill-he has used his singular as.
tendency over the popular mind entirely for
more and more in accordance with his party's
feeling. They have understood him and sym
pathized with him In his rapid advance upon
such questions as the franchise the enfranchise-
ment of the land, and procedure. and have al
ways felt that after struggle more or less pro-
tracted he would pilot them safely to their goal.
They have felt, moreover, most keenly the effect
Of that personal magnetism which, though linn
tied in Its range, Mr.. Gladstone has yet pos
sessed In 20 ample degree. He has founded
no school, and will leave no SUCCESSORS,
but no one who ever sat behind him in the
kind Of awe and admiration which fell upon
him when he saw Mr.. Gladstone rise in a semi
hostile house, sway 1t rapidly 70 his will, hold
IL speilbOund with his eloQueDce, and sit down
having secured an ample majority, or crushed
into powerlessness an apparently formidable
foe. To tell leader such as this that he must
stand aside seems TO many Of them q blasphe-
my, and to all must involve q degree OF suffer
ing in which We sympathise most deeply. The
worst effect OF the defeat Of home rule will be
that II must close the Gladstone period, and de-
Pr1ve the country OF services which, until the
last election, were unsurpassed in value, and OF
powers which, SO far as politicians can see, are
little Diminished, and which are displayed in
the same degree by no colleague and rival.

A large audience was disguised at the miser-
able exhibition of ball playing yesterday. The
Chicagos won the game by a score OF 20 to o.
second-class amateur nine could have made
as good q stand against the Chicagos as did the
Nationals. The fact that the whitelegged
champions toyed with them and played as they
pleased would not have caused SO much dissat-

that the Nationals were capable of playing .
much better game At the start Crane was put

was evident from the start that the team

The little giant Giliigan was behind the bat

forth rounds OF applause 1t is not claimed by
any one that the Nationals are any thing like
as strong as the Chicagos, but they are able TO
play ball with them. The exhibition yesterday
was mortincation to the team and 70 the an
dience. No blame is attached to Crane. He Is
q good ball player, but he cannot play ali the

similar state OF things will not exist this after

field day and they 90 out and hunt for sinners
and track them To- their places of resort. Ever
since the first Sunday in May this skirmish
party. "a il may be termed, has left the mission
rooms which are on the avenue near 9th street
and made an invasion into the enemy's
country. They reach the 1 1th street wharf about
4 O'Clock and whenever they seq a group of
people. the wagon stops, the organ starts a hymn
Is sung and the short speeches and PRAYERS fol-
low. The meeting lasts about an hour and then

the meeting closes at this point, those present
are invited TO attend the services at the mis-

They have no difficulty in getting together "a
crowd. The singing attracts many and the
object is To hold those that come once within
the reach OF their voices. 1t has happened that
men have become SO much aroused and dis
turbct about their sinful cOnd ton that it has
become necessary TO take them aboard the
gospel wagon and bTin. them to the mis-
sion rooms The success with which this
enterprise has met has determined the man
