This may be regarded ss one Of the

are disposed to look somewhat OBJ

well as large proportion OF the Rs

about the soundness of a candidates

Miriam, the heroine of the text, was struck
by that evil passion of jealousy. She had
possessed unlimited influence over Moses,
and now he marries, and not only so, but
marries a black woman from Ethiopia,
and Miriam is SO Disguised and
outraged by Moses, first because
he had married at all, and next because
he had practiced miscegenation, that she
is drawn into a frenzy and then begins to
turn white, and gets as white as a corpse,
and then winter than a corpse. Her COM
plexion is like chalk; the fact is, she has
the Egyptian leprosy. And now the
brother whom she had defended on the
Nile comes to her rescue, in a prayer that
brings her restoration. Let there be no
70 ON in all your house for jealousy, either
to sit or stand. 1t is a leprous abolnina-
ton. Your brothers. success, o, sisters,
is your success. His victories will be your
victories. For, while Moses, the brother,
led the vocal music after the crossing
of the Red Sea, Miriam, the sister, with
two glittering sheets of brass uplifted and
glittering in the sun, led the instrumental
music, ~clapping the cymbals till the last
frightened neigh of pursuing cavalry
horses was smothered in the wave and
the last Egyptian helmet went under.
How strong it makes a family when oil
the sisters and brothers stand together,

little children in the nursery that with your

killed each other fighting across your
cradle, than that having come to the age
of maturity and having in your veins and

THE ANCIENT PUEBLO.
Its Past History. Present ami
Future Prospects.

Future Prospects.
The honorable Pueblo (Tucson) has
always prided itself on its antiquity.
It claims, 1 believed, to be the third
Oldest town in the United States, the
only two which are still more venera-
BILE and antique being San Augustine,
Fla, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. 1t
was about three hundred years ago
when the first settlers of whom history
speaks came hither. Some of Tucson's
present Oldest inhabitants who belong
to the honorable society of pioneers
look as if they might have come here
about the same time. They have at
any rate, retained many of the simple
manner and customs of that period.
Tucson is pre-eminently an adobe
town. In Tombstone the adobe town
houses are tastefully disguised to simu-
late stone or brick. There is no false
pretense of that sort here; it is pure
and unadulterated mud. They have
not used it all, either; there is plenty
of it leftin the streets.
The ancient Pueblo pursuedthe even
tenor of it's ways for several hundred
years, nothing happening to disturb it's
peaceful slumber-with exceptions of
the passage of some Of the '49 gold
seekers-until five years ago, when,
amidst great rejoicing from the majority
and secret misgivings on the part of
some old timers, the shrill whistle of the
ironhorse came towake the city from it's.
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. From that time
modern Tucson dates its start. The
arrival of the railroad put an end to the
good old-fashioned days of OK teams
from Yuma, when nothing less than a
two bit piece was known, and if a person
growled at payinga quarter for aneedle,
It was all laid to the lightweight. The
old firms coming into competition with
modern methods one by n went to
buildings and a big debt, like any giddy
young city in her teens. The reaction
from the railroad boom soon anne
Tucson allowed the Sonora railroad to
be built to Benson, and the. Mexican
trade fell off. A number of grand
mining schemes resulted disastrously
to the investors. Things were looking
very blue ineaed two years ago, when
came the Qui}otoa excitement. Tucson
thought that he, good days had theme
surely come. Quijotoa was to be
another Virginia City, to which Tucson
would play San Francisco. Two or
three telegraph lines, Is many stage
ines, and several projected railroads
were fighting for a share Of the great
prospective trade. A mile of street
was built at the bonanza city," the
money for which came mainly from
Tucson, although Quijotoa contr ibuted
a great many dollars. The writer, who
was rather more of a lunatic than the
rest, took out a big newspaper outfit
and supplied a ''long-felt-want." After
a weary two years Of hopes deferred,
that have made many a heart sick, the
end has come. The bubble has burst,
and all who could beg, borrow, or
steal a ride on any mode of conveyance,
from a burro to a lumber wagon, have
left the city of the near future.-Ari-
coma M0ve1ick.

AN AWKWARD eLuNpER.
How a Travelling Ma Proved Himself &
Be q Born Liar.

Some Yeas ago I had occasion to
spend the night in the little town Of
Red Wing, Minnesota. I was given
lodging by Deacon Rogers, an estima-
BILE gentleman, who, although 1 was an
absolute stranger to him. entertained
me to the best of his knowledge aad
ability. After IN early tea 1 was taken
upstairs to the spare bedroom, which
was to be my apartment for the night
The only thing 1 remember about the
room other than its musty flavor was
the spare bed-a large four-posted af-
fair, whose coverlids were Of such
snowy whiteness and immaculate
smoothness that it seemed like sacri-
lego to disturb them; but q tired man
has little conscience, and 1 hastily dis
missed my scruples and, turning out
the light, scrambled between the sheets.
The pillows were large and soft, and
the mattress was hard and unyielding.
After shifting my position q number of
times to find a comfortable place, I dis
covered that the bed had an adjustable
ridge in it. Wherever l moved there
it was. 1 couldn't avoid it; it followed
me everywhere. 1t was the only bed I
ever saw that it was possible to fall out
Of on both sides at once. Finally in
despair l threw the pillows on the floor,
and then l made another astonishing
discovery. The ridge changed into q
hollow, which was even worse than the
ridge. Twas unable to alter this, and
it stuck to me the whole of the night.
My dreams, such as I had, were
peculiar. I was spending my time in
alternately rolling up hill and then
rolling down again, the way you do in
a sleeping car on a Southern Indiana
railroad.
The next morning the deacon asked
me how I had spent the night. Dis
liking to be thought ungrateful, 1 told
him that had never slept better.
s'How did you like the bed?" asked
Mrs. Rogers.
Never slept in one I liked better"
I replied.
A year or so afterward, while making
another trip through the Northwest, 1
met at the house of a friend in St. Paul
some people whose faces seemed
strangely familiar to me. We were
talking Of that section of the country.
when the lady remarked:
Weren't you up this way about two
years ago."
l admitted that 1 had been.
"You stopped with Deacon Rogers in
Red Wing?"
deacon Rogers, Deacon Rogers" I
repeated. 30. yes! he is the man who
had that awful bed"
"What about the bed?" asked the
lady, as she exchanged significant
chances with an elderly gentleman.
Then with rare and radiant idiocy
proceeded to describe as wildly as
could the terrible tortures I endured on
that frightful night. When I had
finished, the lady remarked %sententious'
ly to the old gentleman:
"There, Abram, 1 was right; didn't
I tell you that man was d born liar?"
She was Mrs. Rogers.-Drake's Trav

The 10, 900, 900 inhabitants of Mexico

Shoes in Mexico are a European in

The sandal, which is a sole of leather.
raw-hide or woven maguey fiber,
strapped to the bottom of the foot with
strings of the same material, is the only
toot-covering used by this class of peo-
ole, and as every man is his own shoe
maker, and the climate requires no
protection for instep OF ankle, the ma
5ional sandal is doubles the most eco
lomical, comfortable and healthy shoe
ing that can be worn in this country.
3 In proof Of this the infantry regi-
ments of the Mexican army, armed and
equipped otherwise without regard to
expense, still wear the leather sandal
in preference to shoes, not solely for
the sake of economy, but because it is
considered generally healthier, keeps
the feet in better condition, is more
easily repaired or replaced, and makes
easier marching.
The shoe-wearing population of the
republic is chiefly of European origin
or descent and such of the Indian pop
ulation as by education and association
have learned to prefer European fash
ions and modes of living. This class
has inherited from their Indian as well
as their Spanish ancestors remarkably
small, well-modeled feet and hands,
upon which they pride themselves con-
siderably; consequently a handsome
and elegantly-shapcd shoe is more es-
teemed in Mexico than a sound and
substantial one, and commands a
reader sale. Hence, the cheaper shoes
made in the country, if not so strong
and durable, are more carefully mod
eled and several sizes smaller than the
average trade shoe made in the United
States.-Boston Commercial Bullettn.

Tread of a child in the country who was
detained at q neighbours house on q
stormy night by some fascinating stories
that were being told him, and then looked
out and saw it was so dark he did not
dare go home. The incident i'm.
pressed me the more because in nv
childhood had much the same experience.
The boy asked his comrades to 20 with
him, but they dared not. 1t got later and
o'clock, eight O'Clock, nine
O'Clock. "Oh," he said, 81 wish l were
home" AS he opened the door the last
time a binding flash of the storm and q
deafening roar overcame him. But after a
while he saw in the distance a lantern, and
10! his brother was coming to fetch him
home, and the lad stepped out and with
swift feet fastened on to his brother, who
took him home, where they were so glad to
greet him and for a long time supper had
been waiting. So it may be when the night
of death comes and our earthly friends can
not go with us N we dare not 20 alone.
May our brother, our elder brother, our
friend closer than a brother, come out to
meet US with the light of the promises,
which shall be a lantern to our feet, and
then we will go in to join our loved ones
waiting for US. supper all ready, the mar.
rlage supper of the Lamb.

Miss Keziah Lee, died at Porter's, on the
9Th inst, aged 70 years, and was buried at
Freedom Church. She leaves many friends
to mourn her loss.
Protracted services have been in progress
at the Evangelical Lutheran Church, near
Berret, for several days, with good results.
Most of our farmers have killed their hogs,
weights ranging from 200 to 500 pounds, more
or less.
H. C. Cook went cunning last week and
killed II birds and 5 rabbits, without missing
a shot Mr. Cook buys his ammunition at
Berret
The public school at this place numbers
about so scholars in regular attendance, and
is well conducted by the teacher in charge, j.
Leatherwood.
Dorsey Bros, at Porters, have erected
windmill to supply their stock with water.
The young are looking forward for happi-
ness at the coming holidays. We hope they
may realize expectations.
Cleyeland's late message is an able docu-
ment and should be read by all, and especial
" by the farmer. 1t is to be hoped that some
legislation may ultimately be had in the in
terest of agriculture and looking to that and
this subject should be agitated by the press
with-"eternal process"
Day is improving and it is hoped will re-
cover. The fact that any opinion expressed
in opposition to his views gives offense
and is denounced as an intrusion" is at
tributable to a chronic disorder of many
years standing. He says we jump about a
great deal. We would like to see the man
who could stand still and see his train moving
in all directions at the same time. If we have
''wind" enough left we will try to meet him
at the concert.
