Sir Walter Scott's piper, John Bruce,
spent a whole Sabbath selecting tw I've
stones from twelve south-running
streams, with the purpose that his sick
master might sleep upon them and be-
come whole. Scott was not the man to
hurt the honest fellows feelings by
ridiculing the notion of such remedy
proving cf no avail; so he caused Bruce
to be told that the receipt was nfallible,
but that it was absolutely necessary to
success that the stones should be wrap
ped in the petticoat OF widow who
never wished to marry again; upon
learning which the Highlander re-
nounced all hope of completing the
charm. Lady Duff Gordon once gave
an old Egyptian woman powder wrap
ped up in a fragment of the saturday
ReUieW. She came to assure her bene-
factress the charm was wonderfully
powerful one; for although she had
not been able to wash off
all the fine writing from the
paper even that little had done her a
great deal of good. She would have
made an excellent subject for Llama
doctor. who, if he does not happen to have
any medicine handy, writes the name
of the remedy he would administer on
a scrap of paper, moistens it with his
mouth, rolls it up in the form of pill,
which the patient tosses down his throat.
In default of paper, the name of the
drug is chalked on board, and washed
off again with water, which serves as q
healing draught.
These easy-going practitioners might
probably cite plenty of instances OF the
efficacy of their method. DIR. John
Brown, of Edinburgh, once gave
a laborer prescription, saying:
Take that and come back in fort
night, when you will be well. Obedient
to the injunction. the patient presented
himself at the fortnight's end, with .
clean tongue and happy lace. Proud
of the fulfillment of his promise, DIR.
Brown said: ''Let me see what | gave
you." "Oh," said the man, II took it,
Doctor" "Yes, know you did; but
where is the prescription II swal-
lowed it, was the reply. The patient
had made pill of the paper, and faith
in his physicians skill had done the
rest. Faith is rare wonder-worker.

MI. Bean, the delegate from Arizona,
who BY the way is very sensible, hard
working man, and worthy son Of the
old Granite state, believes that the only
way to deal with Geronimo and other
refractory savages out in his territory and
New Mexico is to offer a reward for their
capture. As the army seems powerless
in the emergency he is confident that
private enterprise can be made available
if proper Involvement be held out to un-
dertake the troublesome and dangerous
job. Tne settlers, as rule, are unable
to bear the expense and unwilling to in
cur the hazard Of hunting the Indians.
Besides, they could not leave their homes
defenseless; but Mr., Bean thinks there
is no doubt but what Geronimo could
be brought in, dead or alive, if the gov
eminent is willing to pay $4,000 for
his scalp.--Washington correspondence

policy was furnished at the treasury de-

Assistant Secretary Smith and wanted
reasons. "Reasons," retorted the official,

dent is being quoted as more willing to
make changes than at any time since
his Inauguration. Recent declarations
of the independents and civil service re-
formers have completely alienated the

The press of the territory is already

While the above are very mPortan,
qualifications, If the people would select
representatives possessing them, with an
additional sprinkling Of brains and intel
lieence. the territory would fare better.
So long as men are selected who play
poker all night and sleep through the

awakened TO vote and then have to en-
ouire which is the democratic SIDE

very wholesome reforms. In fact, 1t is
an open question wether the territory

inteiligen, schemer than from one who
is moi possessed of sufficient intelligence
to vote on a question without beng
prompted. While the former IS liao'e

honesty and integrity as can possibly be

The editor of the Tucson Star claims
70 be in possession Of information in re-
gard TO the insane asylum, showing
''criminal negligence or something
worse" on the part Of the directors.
The only thing developed before the
honorary board and in the farce enacted
by Judge Zulick was a difference OF
opinion in regard to business matters
existing between the directors and Gov
ernor Zulick. There was no testimony
of any kind to show the board had been
guilty Of any corrupt or criminal p'ac-
uces, unless i, were 4 crime TO deposit
money in q certain bank. II the Star Is
in possession of the facts It claims. 1t
should make a clean expose OF them
Governor Zuliek utterly failed to con-
vince the people Ofthis territory that the
directors have been dishonest, and the
mere insinuation thrown out by the Star
is not likely to affect the reputation of
these three citizens whose reputation IT
seeks to blacken in this way. Our cit
liens will not support or endorse dis
honest officials, but as rule they will
not condemn or convict without evil

II one were to believe the sophomore
reasonings and conclusions drawn in a

that individual is not entitled to receive

all other articles he has written, greatly
