A Marrow Escape.

Mrs. L. s. Pickerell, of Middlebury, Ind,
had very narrow escape from the insane
asylum. For years she was subject to head
ache, palpitation, spinal pain. sleeplessness
and nervous prostration. For three years she
had commissions, often as many as fifty a
night. Able physicians failed to help her.
At last after taking that wonderful remedy,
she was entirely cured. II is a recent discov-

A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says the mining country of the future is Mexico. Not because of the richness of the ores there, but because ot the cheap ness of taking them out. An $8 ore can be handled in that country as proftabIy as $30 ore in this country. The Mexicans are the most expert miners in the world, and they live cheap and work for cor
 respondingly low wages. He has little confidence in old mines, since the Mexicans would not have aban- doned them except for good reasons.

A Tribute to Mrs. DiaZ.

The Two Republics puslishes the following we'll deserved tribute :; There is no woman in Mexico who has done more to better the condi- ton of her sex than Mrs. Carmen Romero Rubio de Diaz. She is laboring to extend the sphere of usefulness Of her countrywomen and to demonstrate to lovers of time honered customs that 1t is no dishonor to work. She has raised some of the poor to where they can maintain themselves by their own labors, and she is cotinually deyis- ing means to give more employ ment to the worthy classes. Her latest project is to establish large manufacturing house where all the underclothing used in the army can be manufactured. If she carries her project through, which sEe doubt less will, it will give employment to over 100 women. Ifthere were a few more ladies in the city like Mrs. Diaz, the condition of her sex would be greatly improved"

THE office of Chairman of the Board of Supervisors was declared vacant last week by the Board on account of the incumbent's ab- sence. MT. Tee, who was the in- cumbent, has been member of the Board for the past three and half years. The Board filled the vacan- cy by appointing c. W. Wakefield. AS the legal half-breeds advised such a proceeding, we suppose every one will be satisfied, as no one can doubt their superior intelli- gence, if they do their superior con science.

Again, in some localities he is known as "United States" The admins tration while in an apop!ectic con dition, sent the Colonel into our midst from the cranberry swamps of New Jersey, as a land agent. We do not know what Arizona has done to merit such a prize, but we do know that the Colonel has won his spurs. and is now able to re- turn home and show Mac" the diff ference between a Jersey bull and a calf, if not between q pre-emptlon and a timber claim.

Don't Be EditGrS.

The following extract is from Col. P. Doran's address before the Arkansas Press association:
 Boys of my audience, bright faced, aspiring youths, longing for the shortest and the quickest way to for fortune, hear solemn adjur- ation, and be warned in time. Never be editors-everybody's packing blocks, creation scrapegoats and sway-backed pack mules. Dead head tickets to circuses, dog shows and festivals-(paid at the rate of a twenty-five dollar notice for twen- ty-fve cent ticket )-all very well in their way; and daily bouquets from the girls who want to see their names in the papers with the beautiful and accomplished form ula swung to them, are just too charming for anything.' But do not lead them into the den of inky horror, tread-mill labor and squan- dered opportunities. burlesquely known as the editorial sanctum. Stand back. Keep out, Be boot blacks chimney sweeps, peniten- tiary or members of maniac mena- gerie that meets in the white sepul- chre of a capitol at Washington. Be mud clerks on coal barge, deck hands in atripe factory, brake men on canal boat, engineers on a one-donkey power canal boat, dairy men with an aged oxen and two goats as your stock in trade, a servant girl in a poor-house or or phan asylum. Be stock gamblers, railroad directors presidents of sausage stuff machines, rag vendors charcoal brawlers, chambermaids in a livery stable, or policy-spout- ing senators-but never, no never, be editors, for half a one is three quarters too much for any well regulated family to have about the house."

WE LEARN that the railroad is to build its depot half a mile west of Holbrook, whereit will have it's own land upon which to construct depot buildings, side tracks, etc. We can not but see that this will seriously injure Holbrook-while the town is compelled to go to the railroad, the railroad is not compelled to go to the town-and this, the mighty railroad knows only too well.

TIE Board of Supervisors have, we believe, reconsidered their ac- ton taken in the matter of the Winslow petition, praying for an appropriation for the construction of a branch county jail in that town. We learn the Board has granted the petition in appropria- ting $500 for that purpose. It is not bad to reconsider or reflect, as each are the angels of modesty and moderation. But will it meet the approval of the half-breeds.

Embarrassment Of Riches.

Texas is troubled with a aplethOra ofcash. It's bonded indebtedness is only S4, ,5OO,00O which the holders will not exchange for the money, preferring to draw the interest and there is in the state treasury sur plus of more than $2,OO0,O00. The farmers, to whom the state has been selling it's land on forty years time, with only , per cent interest, in the hope that they would be very dila- tory about paying the principal, are piling in the money oa the over burdened state treasurer. The coun- ties are doing the same. Toadd to its misery the state has 30,OO0,OOO acres of land yet to sell, which are increasing in value rapidly each year; poor Texas.-Ph9nix Ga Zette.

The San Francisco Mining and Scientific Press speaking of copper says:
 "The terms under which the Cal umet and Hecla and and other American mines passed into the Copper Trust were 13 cents per pound for all the copper the mines could produce during a period of three years. It was further agreed that should the price ofcopper go above that figure the mines going into the combination should receive half the profit accruing from the advance over 13 cents.

Cur Delegate.

The Phoenix Gazette, an indtpen- dent papar, has the following con- cernil.g Mark Smith, every word of which the Courier endorses:
 Mark 4. Smith, Arizona's delegate in congress, has made q record for himself which will commend him to the people of Arizona, and their ap- preciation will be manifested at the polls November next. He has la bored in and out of season in the in terest of the settlers and against everything pertaining toland grants. Mir. Smith has attended every meet ing of the two land committees since he has been in congress, and it was wholly due to his indefatigable labors that desert land was reduced from $2.50 to 1.25 per acre. We constantly supported Mark Smith for the position he now fills with credit, believing that he would serve the people of Arizona with both ability and credit, and the gentle man has more than fulfilled every obligation made to the people from the stump-something almost un- heard of in politicians.

 WE HAVE been asked several times to say something about bonds, principals and sureties, and what might be ones obligation to the other.
 What do we know about it? is the question. Well we know this If you appear on the county's as +sessment roll as a property owner, you can, if you see fit, become surety in an amount less your lia bilities, debts and exemptions. This is the character of the affidavit the surety must take to properly qual- ify. Now, after becoming a surety, you have the privilege of withdraw ing if you see fit, by simply notify ing the principal and approving officer of the bond of your desire, and giving your reason therefor. The principal is then given ten days in which to perfect another bond. In withdrawing from a bond you can use the same reason" as would govern you in the loan ot your bank account, as well as "rea- sons" which may have in their na- ture reduced your responsibilities. Thus we have the manner of be- coming a surety and the withdraw ing as such, as laid down in the statutes of Arizona.
 Sureties facilitate matters and benefit the public, but for them an officer could not qualify even though his election be by exclamation. If any officer shows incapacity for his duties, his sureties, as the law stands, have the opportunity to withdraw from his bond. Now, if there be some who think an inius- tlce has been done the officer by the withdrawal of the sureties, they i also, as the case stands, have an op- portunity to show their confidence by becoming the successors to the former sureties.
 The subject of sureties on official bonds seems to be the topic of the day, and probably ere it has run it's race, it will become a subject of greater discussion, if not of thought. We have heard some who are silly ! enough to say that a surety should | not withdraw from an official bond | until the term of office of the prin- cjpal has expired, and go further by censuring the Legislature for enacting laws enabling and pre- scribing a manner whereby any surety may retire from an official bond. Thus they would have the act of becoming a surety a com pulsory rather than a voluntary one. Of course it is well known that the man who talks in thls style never was a surety on bond, nor ever expects to be.
 What property holder would be- come surety on a bond, if the only way in which he could be relased therefrom, would be the death or expiration of the term of office of the principal? and in the event that they could not be found under such circumstances, how would county governments be carried on? The act of becoming a surety is an in vestment, based upon confidence or hope, at least, and not unlike any other investment. If this con
 idence and hope vanish before real ization, ere the Investments swamp ed, the surety can withdraw, and probably no where else has he to ..give a reason" therefor.
