He Got the Preacher.

A Colored brother down in Georgia
sent the following request for minister
to his Bishop: 'Send us a bishop to
preach. lfyou can't send a bishop send
a sliding elder; if you can't send a
sliding elder send us stationary
preacher; if you can't send hin, send us
a circus rider; if you can't spare him
send us locus preacher; if you can't
send locus preacher send us an ex-
hauster." That settled it and he got a
preacher.

My hip was drawn out of place There was swelling at the knee-joint, where there is a profuse rum ming. which has been there for years. Of course this has greatly depleted my sys- tenn, together with surgical operation on the leg bone l tried every known blood purifier to build up ny system, but none did ple good until took $ s. s. nSs it every spring It always builds me mp. giving me appetite and digestion, and ena- bles me to stand the long, trying, encr- vating, hot summer days.

Fanatics at Madison. Texas, in their zeal for the suppression of the Use of ardent spirits, hanged one man and shot several others for favoring the maintenance of saloons. A state of terror prevails, and Governor Ross has been applied to for troops to reform the reformers.
 The Rev. F. F. Jewell, Methodist clergyman, of San Jose, California, has appealed to all religious and tenn perance organizations to file protests to be presented to Senator Stanford not to endow his new university with money derived from the sale of wine. This IS cheeky, inasmuch as Mir. Stan ford is the owner of large grapery and donates the university to the State Of California for free education al purposes. The proposed protests can be regarded in no other light than as rebuke to Mr. Stanford for rais- ing grapes. In view of the informed ding of religious denomlnations with his patrimonial gift to the State, he should guard It, as Stephen Glrard did his educational structure, that no min isterial influence should be permitted to mar the benevolent intention of the donor.

THE STAR BOOM OF THE TORTILITA
 BUBBLE

An effort is beng made to galvanize the TortiIila mines into new life, and the Star of this city deYotes pages to booming the scheme. A MT. Francis D. Taylor, of Boston, (nOt the eminent inning englneer, Mir. Frank M. Fay Tor, of Leadville), has made long re- pert, in which he finds the Jesse Ben ton claim of the company to be very rich. Mir. Taylor's report IS altogeth- CT too vague to carry conviction, and we much prefer the special informa- tion which we have received concer- ming the property. We learn that the Totilita Company has stopped work entirely on the "By Chance" mine, and has moved over to the "Jesse Benton" claim, on which small seam of good ore has been found near the surface.
 This new find is like the old depos- It's in the same mlne, which were all small but r1ch, and they all punched out or became barren in depth.
 The Jesse Benton Mining Company at one time owned this and other mines, and put up the mill, ran some $15,OOO in debt operating it, and finally ,llest~ths satire investment in the coReern. - &
 At present the Tortilita fve-stamp null is not running; they only run when they get out little batch of ore, and have enough of the old tail ings hauled up above the mill to make a run of a week or two.
 Let no one be deceived by the Star boom, the Tortllita mines are just as we have frequently described. The statements made by the company or its officers concerning them are such gross congregations that we believe investors in the stock can recover for false representations.
 Any one can now ascertain all the facts without much trouble or any very great expense.-N. Y. Mining and Engineering Journal.

The Arizonan IS at loss to account tor the lethargy prevailing in the real estate business at Phoenix the present season, notwithstanding the large number of visitors from the East and California. The fact is Phenlcians, m their zeal to boom their town and oait river valley, and grow rich at the expense of outsiders, have run up prtees of land and canal shares to ridiculous figures, far beyond their real value, and strangers, visiting that locality, with the idea of becoming possible purchasers, have more gump- ton than they are given credit for ana refuse to pay such exorbitant prices for land. Salt river valley has much to commend it as an agricultu- fal and fruit growing region, but res loents there must give up the idea Cnat they have the world by the tall. They should show some courtesy and offer inducements to strangers, if they expect to interest them as investors AAa residents of the valley.

It is not always the case that "In the multitude of coursellors there is safety wisdom, as is evidenced by the passage of the Alien Act by the last Congress, most unwlse measure, and especially lnimlcal to the mineral pro- ducing Territories of the West, pro- hibiting as it does the ownership of mines by foreigners. The law was passed in response to the public out cry against the growth of foreign monled influence and the unrestricted requirement by aliens of lands in the United States. Its operations, as pre- dicted, has been detrimental to min ing, and the repeal of the clause winch applies to the ownership of mining property by aliens is deemed necessa- " to the development of the mineral resources of the West Senator Stew art. of Nevada. has come forward with a bill to meet this emergency, and 1t will undoubtedly be strongly support ed, and the result be the elimination of this most objectionable clause of the Alien Act.

Rabbits are pest in some parts of California, as we'll as in Australia. A very successful drive of jack-rabbits was recently made near Pixley, in Tulare county. Men, women and children assembled in vehicles and on horseback, forming semi-circular con- cession three miles long, and grad ually closed in toward a V shaped fence, at the apex of which was close corral. As they neared the trap it was found that several thousand rabbits had been rounded up. Some 800 or 55J 0i tAe G b thss Asee6i ed tie hs cordon of drivers and escaped, but a large majority of them ran into the corral, and fully 2,OOO were killed with clubs. Enough rabbits were taken alive to pay all expenses in cured.
