Beieweled Brass Furniture

1t is rather odd nows that tho Deco.
rator and Furnisher brings, that we in
this country are succeeding so we'll in
the manufacture of artistic brass work
that we are exporting the highest and
most expensive grades to Europe.
There is something for Oscar Wide to
reflect upon, considering how recently
he came as an mthetic missionary
among us. Perhaps ho would view this
state OF things as a result OF his efforts.
II it is SO it proves what peculiarly apt
pupils we arc. The thing in which we
are particularly distinguishing our
selves are tables, jewcled brass tables.
Mr.. Ruskin has long been preaching
the use of jasper onyx, amother-of- pearl,
lapsus ]azuli, etc., in furniture, and a
table just sent from this country to
England was of cval shape, made OF a
block of onyx set into shallow cylin-
drical form of framing, with brass
border including liercel band show
ing lining of red marble beneath.
There is no end to the luxury that can
be INDUCED in after this fashion. Oae
of the richest specimens Of such furni
ture in Europe is table belonging to
the Earl of Warwick and to be seen in
the state apartments of Warwick Cas-
tie. The earl few years ago was o.
fered $50, 900 for it, and though he was
pretty hard up at the time he refused
it. Its value, however, is in measure
antiquarian, as it is a perfect specimen
of the work OF the middle age Venetian
artlficers. -[Graphic.

Facts About Tobacco.

1t 10 asserted that tobacco was In use
in China from the earliest times, but we
have no certain knowledge that this
was the ca'c. II It was so, the
knowledge of the plant and its uses
must have been carefully guarded by
the Chinese, for 1t was not introduced
into any other Oriental nation until af-
ter its discovery in America. When
Columbus first landed on the island of
San Domingo, in the West Indies, he
found tobacco in use among the natives
there, who smoked it when made into
small cylindrical rolls and wrapped in
maizo leaf. The Indians on tho con-
tinent smoked it in pipe, and among
all the tribes, from Peru to Upper Can
and, tho first discovercrs found the
plant to be in use, and to have been
known to them from so early a period
that the time of its first discovery was
unknown. The smoking of tobacco
with the Indians partook largely of
tho nature Of religion, rite. The
seeds of tho tobacco plant were first
brought to Europe by Gonzalo Herman
dcz do Oviedo, who introduced it into
Spain, where it was first cultivated as
an ornamental plant, till traveller who
has noted its use among tho American
Ildians, called attention to its narcotic
properties. The name is said to have
been taken from Tabacco, province of
Yucatan, though others derive it from
Tobago, an island in the Caribbean Sea,
and yet others from Tobasco, in the
Gulf Of Florida. The practice of smok-
ing the dried leaf of the plant became
general in Spain, and its manufacture
into snuff followed soon after. 1t was
introduced into Italy in 1860, aud about
the same time into France. The first
to bring the seeds Of the plant into the
latter country was Jean Nlcot, the
French Ambassador to Portugal, in
whose honor tobacco received its botan-
ical name nicotiano, whence the name
nicotine, applied to poisonous extract
from the plant. Tobacco is said to
have been first introduced into England
by Sir Walter Raleigh. From these be-
ginnings the use of the weed spread
over the entire eastern continent. 1t
did not become known in Asia until
the 18th century, but was taken up by
the Oriental nations with great eager
ness, and they arc now the greatest
smokers in the world.

Perfect Combustion.

Firing is only done properly when the
fuel is consumed ia the best possible
way---that il, when no more is burned
than is necessary to produce the amount
of steam required. and to keep the pres
sure uniform. To obtain tlis end,
complete combustion must be obtained
in the furnace, and this is going on
when the fuel is burning with bright
flame evenly all over the CRATE. Blue

One hole was drilled below the lock in the front door, striking the chilled steel chest, another from the top, meeting the same obstruction. The front door was blown of, but no booty was secured.-Tombstone Epitaph. J. M. Slater, of the United States Land Office of this Territory, arrived in Tombstone yesterday and is stopping at the Occidental. He goes to the Huachuca Mountain to look after some parties who are ac- cused of cutting timber against the laws of the United States. Who the parties are we are unable to say, but they are prominent persons living not far from the Post.

She was on the train with Judge Sawyer, who recently delivered q decision against her claims to the late Senator Sharon's millions, and after watch ing the judge closely for some time as hs dozed peacefully in the car seat, she rushed up to him and pulled the worthy mans hair until he called for help, and having satisfied herself, quietly returned to her seat.

The following additional particulars of the murder of Supt Cyrus Gribble at Nigger Wells are taken from the Phenix papers:
 Gribble was shot through the head, the waist and again through the body, his left wrlst being also lacerated by a bullet. Gribble's head was resting on Johnson's stomach. No wounds were seen on Johnson. Attack was made from left side of road, where camp fire was discovered. Assassins fired after buggy had passed. The near horse, winch lay dead in the road, was shot in the left slde. Trail of blood and tracks of buggy showed team to have run a cir cult of several hundred feet and return ed to place of firing, where wounded horse fell and held his mate and buggY upset. A third horse, winch was being led is missing, also saddle which was in the buggy. Gribble's Winchester, which he usually rested on his left arm, was gone. The wound in his wrist would have prevented his using it even had that been his first wound, which was probably not the case.
 Gribble was unpopular with miners and had pistol and knife drawn on him about week ago. He was frequently warned against carrying bullion so open ly. Last fall he discovered two men lying in wait for him. On another oc. casion he was told that hole had beer dug on the desert from which robbers would shoot him and he~~started day earlier than intended, went fo> the place and found the excavation. He was a brave man, went heavily armed, and the robbers gave him no chance. Johnson may have been thrown from the buggy and his neck broken by striking head first on the ground, but careful exami nation of bodies has not yet Eeen made
 Gribble was 58 years of age, a native of England, where he leaves wife ant family.
 It is reported that robbers took tht White Tank trail, the most direct route to the Sonora line. This trail lies clos, to the Gila between the lIassavampa anc Salt river.

The Northern uEand for
 Southern Steers

The Northwestern Live Stock Journal, one of the best posted ranged cattle -papers~in the Nation, says that strong efforts are being made by the stockmen of Texas to get a reduction from the railroads on cattle rates from the south for the coming season, and in the same article the Journal predicts very con siderable demand for southern steers in the north this year. This demand for southern steers in the northern terri tories Is one of the best indications that could be given of the change taking place in the north with regards to the | open range business The Journal but echoes the sentiments of the stockmen 1t represents when 1t outlines a growing ! demand for southern steers in the north ern territories. The last few winters have proven conclusively-alth though somewhat cruelly--that the north ha s not the climate in which the breeding of cattle can be pursued with profit on the open range, and that if open range cat tie growing is to te followed it must be in the way of fattening feeders for beef, instead of breeding for feeders. Weakened cows and young calves cannot go through blizzards, with the mercuIS freezing ia s..sr c;,-r r1moeter like sIevrs rrrrcn 'Thad the benefit of a couple of years growth can. Where the buffalo, that hardest and toughest of the cattle type could not winter with impunity, ordi- nary stock must necessarily suffer. To the buffalo the ranges of the south were ever open as wintering ground, and the immense herds that once covered the western plains never failed to head fol the southern ranges with the first ia
 of snow. With cattle it is different, anc
 the restrictions surrounding them com pels them to remain and face the winte l through.-Hoof and Horn.
