Count r,orsan and the Tailor.

It i3 recounted that ore day, lGing caught in his private dressing room hv q. tailor who ragged. and said he would not leave till he had been paid his bill, Count D 'Orsay listtned thoughtfully for time fixing his eyes upon package that tic irate tailor had deposited upon q chair This package was enveloped in coars, sort of canvas.
 ''ILave you much of that stuff in you, shopl' said Count D'Orsay.
 What llind-that ugly canvas? If l wanted It l could to-morrow have enough to wrap up all the merchandise in the London docks.
 ''London docksl'' said the count, ''don't talk nonsense. Come to me to- morrow at o'clock and rake my meas ure for pair of trousers cut from this canvas"
 In vain the tailor endeavored to dis suade the count, stating that the canvas was not suitable for garment, and in a short time Count D'Orsay was supplied with the canvas trousers.
 At 5 o'clock one afternoon he climbed the vast staircase of Crockford s. then ere of the fashionable clubs of London. and the first person whom he met was Lord Chesterfield.
 ''Upon my word, :" said the noble lord, ''you have singular garment there something rare, without doubt. Always the same original ard charming D'Orsayr'
 The count received the compliment with sonne confusion.
 1t is perhaps not exactly elegant" he said, but it is very handy and fresh, especially suited to riding on horseback. ;
 In few moments |. group of dandies had surrounded the clever Frenchman. Lord Chesterfield ill tl.e main parlor was eXpatiating on the originality oi D'Orsay's taste, and few days after. ward the tailor found himself overrun with orders for the canvas trousers. Lord Chesterfield himself ordered a dozen pairs. Count D'Orsay had accomplished his purpose, and the delighted tailor ';ame no more with his troublesome bill. Edward King in Cosmopolitan.

NASAL VOiCFS CRTARRH AND
 FALSE TEETH"

A prominent English woman says the American women all have high, shrill, nasal voices and false 'eeth.
 Americans don't like the constant twitting they get about this nasal twang, and Yet it is fact caused by our dry, stimulating atmosphere, and the univer- sal presence of catarrhal difficulties.
 But why should so many of our women have false teeth?
 That is more of poser to the English. It is quite impossible to account for it except on the theory of deranged stom- ach action caused by imprudence in eat ing and by want of regular exercise.
 Both coudit ons are unnatural.
 Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail and end in cough and consumption, which are promoted by mal-nutrition induced by deranged stomach action. The condition is a modern one, one un- known to our ancestors who prevented the catarrh, cold cough and consumption by abundant and regular use of what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy and Dog Cabin Sarsaparila, two old-fasl- toned standard remedies handed down From our ancestors, and now exclusively put forth under the strongest guaran- tSeS Ol purity ana elllcacy ON the NOrlu- famed makers of Warmers safe cure. These two remedies plentilully used as the spring and summer seasons advance give a positive assurance of freedom, both from catarrh and those dreadful and if neglected, inevitable consequen es, pneumonia, lung troubles and consump- tion which so generally and fatally pre- vail among our people.
 Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry Co.,, Iowa, served four years in the late war and contracted disease called con sumption by the doctors. He had ire quent hemorrhages. After using War ner's Log Cabin Cough and Consump- ton remedy. he says, under date of Jan 18th, 1888: "I do not bleed at the lungs any more, my cough does not bother me. and do not have any more smoth- ering spells" Wainer's Log Cabin Rose Cream cured his wife of catarrh and she is "sound and well'
 Of course we do not like to have our wolden called nost-talkers and false teeth owners, but these conditions can be readily overcome in the manner indicated.

Weary Of Exile.

The banished Appches, doomed to a among their hereditary enemies, are growing restless and long for an oppor- tunity to enjoy banquet with scalping knife and rifle in their old haunts among the mountains of Arizona. The Mobile, Alabama, correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, gives the following bit of information concerning their habits and the escape of one of their number. He says:
 Since the Apache prisoners have been located on the Government reservation at Mount Vernon Barracks they have been allowed great deal of freedom. The limits have been pointed cut to them, inside of which they camp out as best suits their inclination. They rarely stay m one place longer than a week. An officer superintends the encampmen', |, and inspects It daily, but there Is nu guard except at the barracks gate, placed there to prevent their entrance. The whole world is open to them im all other directions, and they are frequently at at the railroad station, a mile and aOhalf away. It Was considered that this restraint would be sufficient. It IS now learned, however. that the other day Louie, one of the Indians, left at night for the far West, taking an Indian maid en with him. A mounted troop is in pursuit, but so far the redskin has elud- ed them.

ALL the irrgating canals at Florence, receiv ing water from the Gila river, are supplied from the natural flow of that strerm. Not single dam or reserv oir is used and no preparation is made to tide over a season when water IS scarce The Florence canal, it is true, has recent ly located reservoir site along it's course to furnish a supply of water during dry seasons, but the one great opportunity to create an immense lake above the Butte, fifteen miles east of Florence, is yet open for a grand irrigsting enterprise. Here nature seems to have adapted all the surroundings to the easy construction of . dam across the river at narrow point with rocky sides and bottom, that can be made to hold sufficient water to sup ply all the lands over which it can be caused to flow. A broad canyon extends back for six or eight miles that will hold many hundreds of millions gallons of water, which the winter and summer waste will easily supply, and not only can all the, canals at present holding rights to divert the water be supplied with all the water their claims entitle them to receive, but the surplus will be sutfc tent to furnish another canal larger than their aggregate capacity, with plenty of water. Tie water now runs to waste and benefits no one By impound- ing it during the season If plenty a steady and uniform flow can be regulated at all seasons and a scarcity of the tert- liking element reed never to be appre. hended. Parties have filed claims upon the site and hold iem for u e purpose of bringing the merits of the enterprise before men of capital. Practical engi- neers regard the opportunity as one of a lifetime, and it is sincerely to be hoped that the country will receive the benefit of its speedy development into practical utility

AFTER all, the principles" upon which

AFTER all, the ''princples" upon which partisan utilization is supposed to be firm ly anchored, are but shifting sands that disappear before the motive of self-inter- est. The two great political parties re- cruit their ranks from each other in the ratio of their promised or fulfilled championship of measures that affect the individual interests of the classes, and the so-called "prnciples" must vary on sliding scale to cover them. The buncGme that 'principes are eternal and never die" Is all chatf when applied to political parties, and the people are beginning to realize that it is but species of bait offered to catch their votes. The anti-Chnese sentiment of the people of the Pacific Coast governs the partisan affiliation of a majority of it's voters, and the silver in- terests sway the inhabitants of the large mining regions of the west. The pro tective tariff agitation has already caused democrats to seek the relief afforded their interests by the ''principles" of the opposing party, while the free trade ar guments have filled their places in the ranks from the Republican party in the degree their private interests are affected by these measures. The temperance party, the labor party, and the dozens ot other political organizations that have budded, blossomed and died after feeble and sickly existence, have occupied small fields of protection to the small interests of their followers, and none of them were sufficiently broad ill their scope to com maud popular support. In the abstract it is clearly to be seen that self-inte crest is the one enduring principle that com mands party fealiy of the individual, and where this is wanting in the party's pro fessed principles bis support grows luke warm or wanes entirely. The interests of the people of Arlzona lie im the sup port of its silver values, home rule, the peaceful government of its Indians, the autonomic power to foster progressive enterprises and public improvements, and paternal care of it's resources and thei developm ent through the aid of the gen. eral government This is d basis of the requirements of our Territory and it represents the chief interests of all its people, which the political parties should struggle to subserve. Self protection Is the first law with every thinking man, and he is always ready to give battle to that end as an indi vidual or in any politi- cal party that promises him the greatest assistance.

THE harvesting begins in southern Ari- zona at a time simul ultaneous with the season of planting in the northern and eastern States, and from two to six crops per year lei the advantages we enJoy over our friends in the older states. The farmer cares but lit tie for the floodgate. of heaven so long as his headgate is il repair, and he gauges the amount If wa ter given to his growing crop, by theil requirements.

The ApasEles.

The Washington haichet in speak ino of the Apache Indians says:
 The Apa,, hes are of d low caste, so far as Iadlans are concerned. They origl- mated perhaps beginning two or three hundred years ago from outcasts of other trlbes-trUm the Navajoes, the hIoouis and the Yumas. In addition to this they nave an admixture ot the blood uf Mex lean renegades, whom of Course, they have welcomed into the councils of the tribe on account of the supai,r and ill directed knowledge Of the territory to be pilla9ed. as well as intellectual superior Ity in general. They will eat what few other Indians would gastronomicailv tackle and are deficient Tn bravery and 1 nlagnanimlty as compared with tLelr brother tribes.
 There are several branches of the Apaches. The Mescaleros derive their name from the fact that mescal-the plant from which mescal, the well known Mexican intoxicant is made-is of the chief articles Of their dietary.

Otherwise the plant is boiled oAN III 'uc Of'ilJ Sb t8eS OI us 9tOWln IL Is sa to be tender and succulent. The other tribes are tie Coyeterus (fuxt s) which is the largest The Tontos (fools) who, by the way, are the most crafty of the combiua'lon; and tue Gilas, who are named for their proxlmlty to the Glla river, from the banks of which, as old timers may remember, Barnum in his carly career bought the ''wcloly hois D which aroused tine ire of "Oid Bulhonn Benton. They were once under one chef, Mangus C"lorow, and, as illus trating their cunglomeration of blood, il may be mentioned that the lately cele brated Geronimo was a son of Mangus Colorow by one of his captive Mexican slave sqnaws while Cochise was his son by all Apache wife, and the before men toned Chacn was the son of Cnchse by a Mexican slwe squaw. Altog ther, don't think the Indian is really quite SO white as he has been painted by the sympathetic as well as mere Il try novelist, nor is he so red as history and some of his enemies make him.
