matron. "Well, then, he sees a pretty neat

well, while upon new goods, these lacings
are often so pretty as to atone for reckless,
ness of cut. Another very convenient and
pretty fashion is that Of waists different
from skirts. A dark waist gives a look OF
slenderness which will allow a plump per-
son to wear a light skirt, and, per contra,
thin waist is no little relief with dark,
serviceable skirt. | scarce need say that
Jerseys are a valued and variously orna-
mented institution and Jersey cloth is now
used along with non-elastic goods, new
style waists having Jersey cloth sleeves with
bodice portion of something quite different,
but of course matching in color.
APRIL NOTES.
Very iaunty silk dresses of dark color are
made with red Jersey cloth yokes. Hooks
and eyes are coming up again as waist FAST
eners, but at present are mostly used with
plated fronts and so arranged as to be
overlappad by folds. An effort is being
made to introduce the high tuck-comb
with Spanish mantilla and fan. Jet
beads as large as crab-apples are seen and
among other new jet devices, are acorns,
fl cones, heads of barley, rye, etc, some
times mixed in chenille trimmings Novel
beads are also of smoked pearl. Round
hats have long black lace scarf at the
back which is brought round and passed
under the throat Beaded bonnets with
open work wire frame are worn without
Innings. Cash's coventry Fittings retain
standard popularity because really pretty

white-dotted lace wells are an important
feature in outdoor wear. Taking the
place of invisible nets to keep down the

THE RESURRECTION FLOWER.

He folded his hands across his preast'
AS token that tolls should cease;
And bis nallid face had look of rest.
That startled them with its peace.
So weary had been the stress and strife,
So chaf1ng the trials past;
And now, like loosened bark. his life
Was drifting away at last.
They had not the heart to.signal him.
With even touch or tone,
AS out to the sea, unknown and dim,
They watched as he went alone
They knew that the pilot who held the helm
Would guide to the furthest verge,
Nor suffer fear to overwhelm,
Nor suffer wave to merge.
And So as they sat with hushing breath,
Too burdened, too awed to speak,
There burst on the silent room of death
A child, with flushing cheek.
"Ah, seew she said, sit is sweet and bright,
And brimmed to the edge with dew,
It.hurried to open its leaves last night,
To be ready in time for you."
She knew not, the darling, what she did,
AS her childish thought she told;
Nor what was the mystic meaning hid
In that delicate cup of gold.
For over the greening April land
Had broken the Easter hour,
And the flower she laid in the dying hand
Was Resurrection Flower.

He says, "Our people have grown heart-sick at the intellectual attempts of the army and the general government, to pro- tect them. They doubt the efficiency of the one and the earnestness of the other. All industries are paralyzed, and the suspense is uncomfortable. Life under these conditions is a hideous nightmare. Something must be done and done quickly"

4 kspsntant Thief.

More than three years ago two men
 named A. ". Banks and Geo. Rich.
 stole two horses from P. J. Brannen,
 of this city. They were arrested
 tried, and both sent to the peniten
 tiary at Yuma. At the time the coun try was in very lawless condition,
 robbery and deeds oi violence were
 of almost daily occurrence. The law.
 breaking element was so strong tha,
 it was considered dangerous for the law-abiding portion of the communi. ty to prosecute the robbers they were infested with. The younger of the two thieves, A. W. Banks, boy of
 I9, was very violent when arrested, and theatened all sorts ot things against Mir. Brannen, if he was sent to prison. MT. B. thought it his du. ty, considering the crimes which were being committed, to prosecute the case vigorously and fearlessly, and tor doing so received general commenda. ton from the residents of this sec tion of the county.
 The affair and the men had been almost forgotten, when few days ago Mir. Brannen received a letter from Mir. G. +. Wilson. of Mesa City. Maricopa county, asking him to in. terest himself in obtaining pardon for the boy Banks. A reply was sent to this letter detailing the circumstan- ces of the crime, and the defiant in. sulting attitude of the criminal, as a reason why clcmency should not be extended to him.
 A few days since Mir. Brannen re. ceived another letter from Mir. Will son, also letter from the prisoner himself, which is very interesting epistle, but too lengthy for publica- tion. The writer-and the letter is we'll written-states that he comes from a respectable family ia the East, that he came to this country when he was but I7, and mixed up with what he calls "hard gang" and tried to consume all the bad whiskey he could lay his hands on. He says he was drunk when arrested and when he used the violent language and threat ened to kill Mir. Brannen. He claims now to be thoroughly repentant and fully conscious of the enormity of his crime and promises, that if pardoned, he will leave the territory and lead an honest life. The letter bears on its tace strong traces of sincerity, and Mir. Brannen has decided to join in a petition to the Governor, asking for the convict's pardon. His youth, the bad set he got amongst and whis. key are the excuses that can be used in has favor. Whether he obtains a pardon or no, the last four years of the boys life-one of lawlessness and dissap patton and three in the peniten- Iiary-make good temperance lec- ture.

hurphy's Murderer.

Dilda, the murderer of Murphy, has been sentenced to be hanged on Feb. sth, at Prescott. The prompt. ness in bringing this man to justice and his speedy conviction, is com mendable. The auth, rites wasted no time, as the crime was committed on the aoth of December and on the 2oth the murderer was in the con- demned cell awaiting his doom. Since sentence was passed the prisoner has dropped the brwado he showed after his arrest and during his trial, and shows considerable fear of his irppend. ing fate. Dilda's wife will not be prosecuted. Although there is strong evidencs that she took an active part in the crime, she probably acted un. der the coercion of her husband.
