SIavarv In Arizona.

Though slavery has been abolished in
this country, there is something that very
strongly resembles it in existence in Ari-
zona. Living at Arivaca is an old Mexi-
can named Pedro Aguirre, who owns
several Spanish grants, each 14x16 miles
in extent, on which are more sheep and
cattle than he can count. Pedro is very
wealthy, and runs things in that section
and he owns every poor greaser in that
section body and soul The way he gets
possession of them is this INDECENT Mex
leans come to him and engage themselves
to do work in return for crackers and milk.
He gives them about FIVE cents with Of
crackers and perhaps five cents worth Of
milk day, and they are thenceforward
known as his poems, term which has
about the same meaning as slaves. These
Mexicans 90 to the surrounding gold
diggings with their horn spoons, carry
the pay dirt to Arivaca creek and sit
there all day spooning out the precious
metal. They get maybe 50 worth day,
which they carry to Pedro, who boards
it until he has sackful, which he takes
in to Tucson, eighty miles distant. st.

a Reuorter with Nerve.

Each newspaper in New York, Of
course, had big force on the Grant
funeral. Well, it took SO many men
that some Of comparatively little expert
ence had to be given pretty important
assignments. Among these was young
man on the World, who has been in the
newspaper business about month alto
gether. He was told to go to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel in the morning and never
lose sight Of the Grant family till night.
Up he went bright and early and stayed
till the procession was about to start.
Then he was in quan1ary. He never
could keep the Grants in sight if he went
on foot through the multitude Besides
it was about six miles to the park. A
happy idea struck him. Along Twenty
third street was long row of carriages
to be used by the Grants and prominent
people who were stopping at the hotel.
So very quietly this young but enterpris-
ing journalist threw away his cigar,
Strengthened his hat and walked out. He
stood moment on the steps and then
motioned to the driver of the best look
ing carriage. John drove up quickly
and the reporter got in.
"What number are you?' he asked.
The driver told him.
s'Yes, yes, that's right Now do you
know where you come inY'
The driver did not.
''WelI, you follow the Grant carriage.
that stands by the door now"
The driver supposed it was all right
naturally, and as soon as the procession
starte he pulled in behind Col. Fred,
Mrs. Sartoris and others. And that fel-
low rode in state and alone all the way
to Riverside Park. Talk about nervel--

Enjoying the Perfume Of Flowers.

Never touch flower with your nose
when you inhale its perfume, said
gentlewoman the other day in my hear
ing to her little daughter This lesson in
the proprieties is one which all mothers
might well impress upon their children.
Among the ruling classes in China, / am
told, it is considered gross breach of
etiquette to bury the nose in the buds
and blossoms Of a bouquet Surely, from
an aesthetic point of view, any such prac-
tice is to be reprcbated. Who has not
smiled at the appearance of those ardent
lovers Of the "stars Of earth who, for
example, thrust their nasal organs deep
down among the perfume-laden lilies,
and after many long drawn inhalations
raise their face all golden with the pollen
Of the desecrated bloom. TO treat in this
way flowers that are intended for another
seems almost sacrilege. To say moth
ing Of the injury done to the petals by
such an invasion, there is something dis
tasteful to sensitive persons in having
their bouquets brought into such close
contact with the human face, Z no mat
ter how divine it may be. The enjoy
ment of the perfume Of flowers is keener
and more refined when the fragrance IS
inhaled without touching the blossom

An old miser named James Walker
died at his home in Uniontown, Ohio,
recently, possessed of fortune of more
than $40, 900 that is known of, and there
is, perhaps, more to be discovered. He
was bachelor, and one of the very pecu-
liar specimens of humanity. He lived
in little log hut, and in the summer
season lived principally on clover and
bran. He spent most of his, time in
winter in bed and ate raw corn meal to
avoid the expense of fuel. Once, some
years ago, he walked to the bank in
Cadiz with coupons on $15, 900 govern
ment bonds which he had cashed, and
then walked to Wheeling to deposit the
amount. He was dressed only in blue
cotton pantaloons, brown maslin shirt
and straw hat-not another garment,
and he walked the whole forty miles
barefooted. During the last two years
he has been very feeble, and a sister
cared for him. He had apparently a
sound mind and was credited with be-
ing shrewd in business transactions. A
mistake of one cent in his cash and tax
receipts only two years ago caused him to
walk twenty miles back to the county
treasurer's Office, which was given him
by the treasurer out of his own pocket
to avoid a controversy, but sure enough
there was mistake in the cash account
that night. He was well-known charac-
ter throughout Belmont, Jefferson and
Harrison counties

Major BurneIl, an old Snowman, long

ung fellow Of about twenty years, be
longing to one Of the wealthiest and best
families of the Smoky city, saw her in the
show, fell in love with her, made heI
acquaintance, and was soon engaged
to be married to her. His mother, who,
until he came Of age, had absolute con.
troll of the fortune left him by his father,
threatened to withdraw all support from
him meanwhile unless he gave u[
the girl. AS a consequence he became
insane and was placed in an insane asy.

him perfectly cured and discharged him.

Huntinu for Grouse.

occasionally mighty Nimrod from
the city comes out to hunt game in my
neighborhood, " said Greenfield farmer
yesterday. "a few days ago saw q
swell of chap edging up through my
sugar bush to the wheat field. He had
on long-legged boots, and was toggled
and belted and strapped out in regular
hunting fashion. He looked just too
purity for anything. He carried darling
of gun, and he went lodging around
as if he expected to start up Bengal tiger
from behind every stump. / took short
cut to the barn and turned the old pea
cock loose. The old bird understood
what was wanted Of him. He pulled
down his eye at me and started for the
back lots. l followed down along the
fence, and pretty soon I saw the swell
hunter break cover from the woods. He
was after quail, and he soon sighted the
peacock. The bird had his tail famed
out and his head up and could be seen
half a mile away. Nimrod got his gun
off his shoulder and began to creep up,
and by and by he blazed away. | saw
the whole charge of shot tear into the
ground yards away from the old bird,
but he knew his business. Down he fell,
wings and legs Hopping, and pretty soon
he expired. The young man with the
darling of gun reached him about the
same time I did.
" Beautiful shot, says he.

much would take to let him off. sent
him to the house to see the old woman.
She has got way Of wiping her eyes
and choking her voice over the death Of
that peacock which always brings in So
extra. She let this young swell off for
$40, which is the usual price, and as he
started down the highway for Detroit the
old bird got up and marched back to the
barn with chuckle that set every hen to
laughing. That's FIVE times we've play

months, and expect more fun this sum

InocuIation AGAINST Yellow Fever.

One Of the very latest theories of inoc-
ulation to prevent disease is the alleged
discovery of well known physician of
Mexico-Dr. Carmona-of the cause or
causes of yellow fever and his peculiar
preventive to protect person against
this dread disease Eminent American
and European physicians have
for many years been investigating
this important matter, with
the view of discovering some way or some
plan whereby the mortality in certain
parts Of the world from yellow fever
might be lessened. This Mexican physi-
clan claims that he has discovered the
cause of this disease to be a microscopic
fungus, and he asserts that by inoculat-
ing this fungus in the blood persons can
be protected from yellow fever in the
same way as vaccination is a security
against smallpox. Whether his plan is
feasible and will accomplish the greatly
desired results time and careful investi-
cation will alone determine Panama

A comparison of ancient and modern
firearms shows, that the bullets of
our far-reaching rifles are continually
getting smaller and lighter. The Span
ish escopas of the seventeenth century
fired balls weighing nearly three ounces;
the Oldest donner-b -birchsen fred just five
bullets to the pound. Against such pro-
jectile, the panoply of a mail-clad knight
was, of course, as useless as paper col
lar, but the continued attenuation of
those projectiles may yet lead to the re-
Introduction of defensive armor.

The ChrOnica Franco BrasilirG proves
that the legal provisions for the gradual
abolishment Of slavery have practically
become dead-letter laws. Negro chill
dren are bought and sold as before;
many provincial papers announce slave
auctions with the special promise Of ''un-
conditional sales.n There are Brazilian
seaports where even cargo of African
contrabands could rely on the patronage
of discreet customers, for in the great
forest empire of the tropics, the nominal
control of civilized government goes
hand in hand with a good deal of feudal
independence.

A Persian Dinner.

An official in high rank, residing in
Persia, writing to New York paper,
says: Last night 1 went to Persian
dinner, served in the true Persian style
no chairs ,or tables, quantities Of
sweetmeats before dinner, and general
absence of knives and forks. Pilau
formed the mainstay Of the feast, with
mutton kibobs dripping with grease
between the slabs Of the fiat, doughy Per-
sian bread. Tt entertainment was
varied by music on several species of
mandolins and tambourines, not bad in
its way, and Persian singing, resembling
nothing so much as the screeching of a
cat being slowly and surely strangled to
death.
There was also dancing by very young
children. Among the dances was that Of
the Indian Nautch girls, an Afghan
dance, very spirited and effective, dur
ing which the tiny dancers discharged
toy pistols in the faces Of the guests, and
the Cabuli or dance of Cabul, the pretti,
est Of all, danced with number of fans
arranged on the heads, the waists and
the belts Of the dancers producing a
very pretty effect. Dancing it can
scarcely be called word has not that
meaning in Persian -ragsiden is to per-
form series Of graceful and expressive
movements, accompanied BY an appros
pirate play of feature. It is sensuous

who had a nervous twitch of the facial
muscles, was known here by the Persians

ent says he has observed whole shoals
of this fish, in their anxiety to escape
when pursued by whales, piled up above
the surface of the sea to height of from
three to six feet. On one occasion the
fish formed mass even with the top of
