In MenOrianl,

Died, on the 25th instant, Susan,
infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J..
G. Rankin.
Again hath death entered the
family circle and claimed for its
own the most precious and fairest
flower. Again hath q precious
and loved one been summoned
hence. But we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him who
doeth all things for the best.
Though parents may grove and
relent at the behests of tho AL
mighty, 1t availoth nothing. Yet,
while lamenting the death of our
babe, we console ourselves with
tho belief that it is in the hands of
tho angels above, who will guard
and protect its innocence. Truly
do We realize the fact that "Tho
cradles empty now, Baby is gone"

THE OLD GRAvEYARD.-Mr. L. G.
Clemmons who has had charge of
repairing the fences at tho old
graveyard reports that he has had
cedar posts and a fve-wire fence
put around the entire yard, and
that cost Of the same has been 800;
of this amount Sl4 is yet to be
paid and Mr.. Clenmons asks those
who have friends and relatives
buried there to make up the
amount. Contributions can be
handed to Mr.. Clemmons or be
left at McFarland's store for him.
BRENNAN is always getting into
legal troubles and it takes all her
surplus cash to pay lawyers fees.
At the last council meeting S1700
IN cash was appropriated to pay
lawyers fees 10 fight the Santa Fe
bond case. The fight with the
water works has already cost a
round sum and the end is not yet.
When these things are duly con-
sidered rs no wonder the city
has no money to pay for lighting
the streets, or to cxpend in making
permanent improvements upon
them. For the past ten years the
city has never been without one OF
two extensive law suits.

An Arrow Escape.

The patient and law abiding disposi- tion of the people of Tucson could hard ly be more fttingly demonstrated than by their quiet endurance of the presence of e burly Indisnr posed in a menAoing attitude at the corner of Congress street and Church plaza. for To. these many months. During all the local excite ments occasicned bY She recurring raids of the Apache, this singular specimen has enioye ed corr plete immunity from moleststiOp, until the night of July fourth, when the Cherry Tree Vibdics- tors successfully surrounded and dis armed him, and carried away his little hatchet- This indiscretiCn has appar- ently aroused all the savage instincts of the Indian and during the pest several nights he has been observed to cOmmu- nicate by means of signals with Samp- sons squaw across the street, and II IS now taxing hll Sam DrachmAn's well known powers of diplomacy to quell the impending outbreak of actual hOstih- ties. Sans most effective molliter of the aboriginal passion has been the presentation of several Louisiana lottery tickets and box of the best HRvanss, and at this writing the red man IS peacefully inclined, and & new coat of paint will make him supremely happy.

Hebitude, Desuetude and Consuetude.

The progress of enriching the English
 vocabulary goes on. He is 6 benefsctor
 who makes two words grow where one grew before. First, Mir. Charles 4. Dans dragged from its long sleep the word "hebitude." and harnessed the Hoe press to it. Then. by a singular coincidence, the President gave even wider cIrcula- tion to the kindred word "desuetude." !" Now Secretary Baysrd, in hIs letter to CheDg Tsso Ju, stuns that gentleman with the word ''oonsuetude" The three seem surprisingly attached to "tude." |" We do not say that, in coquetting with the Latin tudo, the President and Secre- tsry were influenced by a desire tO con- cilIste their journalistic leader; but we do say that there ought to De more rhetorical diversity. Now that subsrra- ton has taken placs at the White House, there may be an ironicsl contig- nation of allied syllsbles in messages and other documents, so that, without becoming a ventose veroarian, our chef may easily lend additional miriicence to every thesicle by giving oonsuetu- to certain much-needed but now almost removed woris.-Wash- ingtOn Critic.

other day. and asked the appointment
of u cadetship at West Point. 1t was

noted Chippewa chief. and now the
king OF all the Chippcwas. | met him
this morning. He is about Is years
old, is over six feet tall, and he has an
eye like that OF a young eagle. A
romance clusters around him, and il
was at Washington. where his father,
the noted Chippewa king, met the
woman who became his mother. 1t
was in 1867 that old Hole-in-the-D Day
came here on business with the presi-
dent. Hc was made much of by the
newspapers fetcd by society, and at
the National Hotel, where he was stop
ping, he was spoken of As tho rich In
dian king. who owned the greater part
OF the lands OF the Northwest At this
hotel there was pretty Irish chamber
maid, who did up the old chiefs room.

She accepted. They were married.
and she went back TO Minnesota an
Indian queen. From the marriage
sprang this boy, who has now inherited
his fathers position. The old king be-
got the jealousy OF some of the Indian
tribes by his union with n white wife,
and they suspected him of treachcr-
ously giving away their lands. They
assassinated him. Mrs. Holc-in the
Day still lives. Her boy has the true
military bearing about him and he
looks and walks like the king that he
is. He dresses in American clothes,

The Parlor OF Our Fathers.

The following description of the fur.
nishing OF q room a century ago is
taken from one of the recently reprint.
ed stories of Edmund Quincy:
The walls were panelled in oak. with
a gilt molding, now little furnished.
Between the two windows opposite was
large mirror framed in mahogany,
with gild sconces for light. Under il
was table covered with rich Turkey
rug, which was we'll piled with books
and papers, and beneath which APP
peared a couple of small globes. The
closed window shutters were well nigh
concealed, as well as the high window
seats of oak, by the depending folds OF
the crimson damask curtains. Between
the two windows on my right hand
was a card-table of mahogany, black
with time, clasping heavy balls in its
elawed feet.
On the side of the room opposite to
the card-table was a most luxurious
easy-chair-a tit cradle for declining
with chintz, protecting the crimson
damask, which on occasions of impor-
lance was revealed to match the cur
tains. In the nook on the side of the
fireplace, answering to the door by
which 1 entered was secretary, its
looking-glass doors opening over what
seemed to be chest of drawers, but
whick, when drawn out, formed q writ
ing desk with pigeon holes innumerable.
Above the looking-glass doors were
three smaller drawers, the inner one
with futed rays divergiag from the
middle of its lowest side to its edges
the whole crowned by sort of pyra-
midal pediment, the polished wood re-
fleeing the surrounding objects like
marble, and the brass handles glisten-
ing like gold.
A thick Turkey carpet covered the
floor, and sufficient number of in
viting chairs, with carved frames and
well-stuffed seats, expanded their arms
to welcome the weary guest. 1t may
readily be conceived that took in this
inventory in less than a 1.-THE of the
time it has taken to recount ii, and had
again returned TO the blazing hearth.
The chimney was one of those which
men built when the forests grew up to
their very doors, and it was their am
bitioB to consume them as rapidly as
possible. The fireplace was encircled
with nay favorite Dutch tiles and sur
mounted by capacious mantelpiece,
which. as well as the panels over it,
was covered with particular care.
