Keen it Back.

Husbands and wives do not know, till
they learn by experience (Which some
never do.) how much can be added to the
sum of their happiness BY thinking twice,
and indefnitely postponing when either is
tempted to say a cutting thing, the other.
1t does not take great while Tor young
couple to win the confidence. each of the
other. that nothing designed to wound will
be said When this confidence is estab-
lished words which would otherwise in
flict pain become harmless. In family
where this confidence is secured by uni
form respect for the feelings OF each other,
there is degree of freedom from restraint,
and of general happiness, which is i'm
possible where it is not. Every good
family is training school, in which the
husband and wife, from the nuptial day,
are pupils. He is an exceptional and
rarely fortunate young man. who has not
some habits of department which mar his
character and influence. 1t is expected OF
the wife that she will correct and eradi-
cate these. Unless the husband has
an incurably coarse nature, she is
Justly held responsible for the
polish and neatness of his manners,
as much as tor the purity of his linen when
he appears m church or society. And IL
the wife has unpleasant imperfecnons OF
manner or conduct, it always reflects upon
the husband This shows that by common
consent, the family is regarded as train
ing school in which the husband and wife
as well as the children, are learners.
Such being the case, each should submit
to the necessary discipline with pleasure.
But if the habit of cutting and sarcastic
words prevail it will break up that school.
and neither can be of any benefit to the
other. There is injury as well as unhap
piness, of very serious character, resulting
from sharp tongue in the family, and the
sharp tongue may not-usually at first,
does not-represent the real sentiments of
the heart, but the bitterness is not long in
finding its way to the heart, and there it
is liable to remain-not always active,
but always ready and always suspected.
Before you say cutting word to your
husband, wife or child, think it over de-
liberately.

the soil should be composed of common
sand such as is used for securing. Thor
oughly mix this with leaf-mould and loan.
The earth to be found surrounding pine
trees is admirable for baskets, which. If
supplied with charcoal and sponge. will
not require to have hole in the bottom

sufficiently friable that it may be pressed

are to be grown. the soil near ponds or

The Virtue OF a Name.

Poets think there is very little in a name
an opinion that is not shared by all business
men, many of whom are inclined to associate
much of their success with the popularity or
euphony of the firms name. Where this is
the case 1t is not an uncommon thing to see
the name retained long after the withdrawal
or disease of one of the partners. An exam
pie of this kind, saws the Chicago Inter Ocean,
is the firm of Storm, Hill & Co Early in the
year an elderly spinster, who does the solicit
ing for one OF the w. c. NJ. charities called
at the store and asked to see Mr.. Storm.
He's not in," was the reply.
The next week she appeared about noon.
"Is Mr.. Storm in?"
emo"
well, I'll call again this afternoon What
time do you close?"
Give O'Clock"
1.-TWO hours later she popped her specta-
cled face into the cashiers window and said
"Mr Storm got back?"
"Nv he hasn't got back yet" was the non
committal response.
."When do YOU think would be most like
ly to catch him?"
"Really | couldn't say. madam"
"Well, III call some other time when Pm
in the neighborhood.
Very we'll" and the man of money bowed
an adieu and went on his way figuring.
The next visit was made on the last of the
month about 10 80 o'clock in the morning,
when the hardest merchant is supposed to be
at his desk.
"Fd like to see Nj. Storm, please" said
the lady, bowling a familiar sort of good
Morning to the grim cashier.
Hes not in"
"Not down vet, chr" and without waiting
for an answer she went off to return the next
day
"Has Mr.. Storm come back YETI"
Nom"
"May wait for him?"
Certainly" and she seated herself in a
chair near the steam coil and began to read a
paper three days old. With the knowledge
of her mistake her impotence began, and,
after wait of some twelve minutes, she went
back to the interlocutor and asked:
"Do you expect him to-night?'
"Hardly."
"Was he down this morning?"
Nom"
"Well, when will he be DOWN." she in
CURED little aDgrily.
Il don't think he'll be down at ALL"
"Why?"
| 'He's dead"
The object of all this search has been in
his grave eight years, but no suggestion has
ever been made to drop his name from the
| firm. 1t is too much of convenience to be
dispensed with. Nine-tenths of all the char
liable heggars and philanthropic nuisance:
who enter the store want TO see Mr.. Storm
Innumerable nobodies who have a trouble
some aspect are invariably disposed of with
the simple statement that Mr.. Storm is no
in.

Hanging Baskets.

1t is an easy matter to cultivate plants
in hanging baskets if the directions | shall
give are followed. They require but lit
tie care. and the chances of success are
greater with the class of plants suitable
for growing in this fashion than with those
of tenderer nature only fitted for pot
cultivation. Although l shall describe
numerous kinds of baskets that will be
charming when dripping with flowers and
foliage. recommend that the pots and
baskets purchased are chosen of clay or
porous ware, which NAV be placed inside
wooden or iron frames, or glazed vessels.
If the pots are not porous. plants will not
thrive in perfection. because there is no
escape for surplus moisture and all side
ventilation is impossible In this case the
soil sours and the roots become more or
less diseased. When the baskets have
been selected, cover the bottom to the
depth of two inches with little pieces of
charcoal which serve threefod purpose.
that of fertilizer, purifier and drain
age. The dust of charcoal is excellent,
beside. to mix with the earth for growing
plants. Very rich soil is not required in
hanging baskets ordinary earth from the
garden is best. If the soil is too
nourishing the plants will run too
much to stem and lose their graceful love
illness. Dropping and climbing plants
may be permitted to run as much as they
like. but In the centre of the hanging bas-
ket must be erect plants, which, if over
stimulated. outgrow the room allotted to
them and become, besides, what is known
in technical terms by florists, Drawn
1t is very good plan to place among
the charcoal bits in the basket coarse
sponge, particularly if the vessel is deep.
for this will absorb all moisture not taken
up by the soil, and will then give it out

A HERDS DEATH. Brave Captain Crawford Shot
 By Mexicans, Who Mistake His Scouts
 For Hostiles. The Indians Being Worn Out
 Give Hostages And Geronimo Is Anxious to
 Make Terms.

Especial Dispatch to the EPrTArH.l
 PRESCOTT, A. T., Jan. 27.-The fol- lowing was received here to-day:
 "FoRT BOWIE, Ariz. Jan. 77.-Adju- tant general, Whipple Barracks, Arizona: The Command of Captain Crawford, struck the hostiles about 50 miles south west of Nacori, Mexico. The hostiles became alarmed, before the attack could be made by the scouts and fled. A run ming fight, lasting two hours, took place and the entire camp outfit of the hostiles including their horses, fell into the hands of the scouts. The same day Captain Crawford at the request of the hostiles, who sent a squaw. arranged for an interview, to take place next day, between him and Natchez and others of the renegades. Next morning and before the meeting took place Cap tain Crawford's command was attacked by a Mexican force of ISo men and Captain Crawford in endeavoring to make the Mexicans understand that tLey were attacking friendly force, was shot through the head and mortally wounded. He died on the 18th instant and was buried at Nacori day or two afterwards. Lieutenant Maus, who as. sumed command, had an interview with Geronimo and Natchez. They desire to talk to the General and want to meet him in about a month, short distance south of San Bernardino, Mexico. The scouts are confident that the renegades are completely worn out and will surren- der to General Crook. They have turned over to Lieutenant Maus, Mana and another buck, the wife and child of Geronimo, also of Natchez and two other women as hostages. [Signed:]

The schoo, Tax Question.
(Communicatsd.)

Yes, "Real Estate" it does require a two-thirds majority to carry the tax "yes" and that the friends of the public school system will carry this question is just as certain as the fact that the sun will rise and set tomorrow.
 You may try to buldoze your tenants, you may boycott your customers, you may try to hoodwink the people, bat you will shed bitter tears when the sun goes down, on the 10th day of Febuary next.
 As long as the people have voice in the perpetuation of school system, which gives to the rich and poor alike, the prince and the pauper, the same privileges, just so long will they uphold by their votes this American idea of "liberty and equality, "this corner stone of our prosperily--the Public Schools.
 What expression can better illustrate the feeling, the selfshness of these anti tax "things" than that used by "Real Estate" in Tuesdays paper:
 "We had better pay ten dollars to de- feat this tax than fifteen dollars after we are heaten"-in other words, better throw ten dollars to the dogs, than give fifteen to charity. This is indeed in keeping with the arguments advanced by the men who are best able to pay their taxes. We think the board of trustees might have pulled through with six thousand dollars, but let us not vote to close the schools--to spite couple of half feath- cred school dictators. Let us not close the schools to benefit lot of money and land sharks, who have everything to gain and nothing to lose by the defeat of the proposed tax.
 Let us throw aside our prejudices and when we cast our vote, let us not forget that it is "cheaper to run schools than penitentiaries." "CooL HEAD"

The Mails.

Many of our citizens being anx ious about their delayed mail, we reproduce the following, from the Citizen:
 The Tucson post office received three days San Francisco mail on Saturday by way of the Needles and Albuquerque and it is presumed the San Francisco mail will continue coming that way till the road is repaired. It takes two days longer to come that way than to come direct. The mail leaving San Francisco on the 22d should reach here this after noon. There has been no regular through mail from the east since the Ioth. A few letters seem, however, to work their way through every day, probably by the Texas route. Judging from re- ports there will be through eastern mail to-day or tomorrow. The con. nection between here and Los Angeles is all ri ght.

Newspaper PreserIptiOns 2

An exchange says, people cannot be too chary of newspaper prescriptions. Even when started out right the igno- rance or neglect of compositors will alter them so they make fatal doses. Once last summer an exchange published as a cholera preventive a formula which would have caused death in one dose, and recently another has done the same in prescription published for hydropho- bia. In both instances the blame is at tached to transposition of some portion of the formula by composition But that would not help back into the world poor fool whose fear of contagion had led him to have the prescription prepared for use.

Upon his last return he gave the particulars of the killing of the quarter master and sergeant by rebellious Apache scout. The death of Captain Crawford as reported by the A. A. D.

Up MlDlu& 0Iulm SUrI6ce.
 l have heretofore notified you that own three-ffths of the surface ground of the Way Up mine. I now notify you that I claim no right to said ground against any one who has been in posses sion of a lot or lots thereon for five years, as think the five years statute of limita ton commenced to run on September P, 1880, when the patent to the town site issued. But, in any event, would not disturb any one who has improve ments on lot for several years; unless, in the case of one who has indentified himself with those who fraudulently ob- tained the townsite title from Alder Ran dall, mayor, or who now buys or has late ly bought of them or given them aid or assistance.
 But, as to all of the lots on said Way Up mine now vacant or unoccupied, or that have lately been settled on or bought from the townsite claimants, or claimants under the Way Up mine, will assert my rights, but will sell at a reasonable price, reserving my right to refuse to sell to any one who, by purchasing lots as aforesaid from other claimants and pay ing for more than two-fifths thereof has indentiied himself with the frauds.
 N. B. The two-fifths interest in said Way Up surface which do not own or claim, does not belong to any one in Tombstone, as near as can find out by the records ofthe county.
