American Girls Conquering England.


 The Duke of Marlborough's marriage to Mrs. Hammersley has caused so much of a stir in England, that British mat rons are wondering how they are to guard against the onslaughts of the American female invaders. Modern Society, widely circulated and woll- written paper, calls upon the English girls to retaliate: ''The plain fact that American ladies are cutting out most of our Clara We're de Veres must be faced, and some consolation should be found for those daughters of au ucient English houses who behold their best partis carried off by invaders from over tho seas. When affairs grow desperate, there is nothing like a bod sorti, into the enemy's camp If New English girls capture old English barona, and graft themselves on all ancient aristoc- racy, the old English girls, especially those with titles, ought to try reprisals by going out west and looking up all the stray millionaires, railway kings and pork princes within reach. Some of these gentry possess so much gold that Solomon, in all his glory, could not have held nero silver in less esteem; their diamonds rival tho monday sun in splondor; their palaces recall dreams of the Arabian Nights; their clothes and furniture constitute the reserve fund in general conversation when all other topics run short. Their own country women think nothing of them when a British lord comes riding by; but im- pecunious peers daughters might view affairs in another light, and prefer the position of extra great lady in some American town to that of one among the many in London. It is only just that tho steamers which bring over fre1,hts of rich girls to try their luck in the Old World, should return well-laden with personally conducted ladies of rank bound for the United States"

Silver and Gold.

Farewell my little sweetheart, Now fare you we'll and free; I claim from you no promise, You claim no vows from me. The reason whya-the reason Right we'll we can uphold I have too much of silver,
 And you've too much of goldl A puzzle, this, to wcr'dings,
 Whose love to lucre flies, Who think that gold to silver Should count as mutual prize! But I'm not avaricious,
 And you're not sordid-souled; have too much of silver,
 And you've too much of gold. Upon our heads the reason
 Too plainly can be seen; I am the Winters bond. slave, You are the Summers queen; Too few the years you number, Too many I have told; have too much of silver,
 And you've too much of gold You have the rose for token,
 Ihave dry leaf and rime; l have the sobbing vesper,
 You, morning bells at chime. would that were younger,
 (And you grew never old)- Would I had less of silver,
 But you no less of gold!

Letters

Letters Such a little things letter,
 Yet so much it may contain; Written thoughts and mute expressions Full of pleasure, fraught with pain. When our hearts are sad at parting, Comes gleam of comfort bright In the mutual promise given:
 "We will not forget to writa" Plans and doings of the absent,
 Scraps of news we like to hear, All remind us, o'en though distant, Kind remembrance keeps us near. Yet sometimes single letter
 Turns tho sunshine into shade; Chlls our efforts, clouds our prospects, Blights our hopes and makes them fade. Messengers of joy or sorrow,
 Life or death, success. despair, Bearers of affection's wishes.
 Greeting kind or loving prayer. Prayer or greeting, were we present. Would be felt but half unsaid; We can write, because our letters Not our faces---will be read. Who has not some treasured letters
 Fragments choice of others lives; Relics, some, of friends departed,
 Friends whose memory still survivesi Touched by neither time nor distance, Will their words unspoken last; Voiceless whispers of the present, Silent echoes of the pastl --[Chambers' Journal.

The Troublous Re ds.

Tucson Citizen: While there is a possibility that the present Indian outbreak may be nothing more than an incipient brawl among the In dians themselves, and that the ren. egades now off the reservation may be coaxed back and further pam pered at the Governments expense, it nevertheless behooves our people to warn settlers in exposed places to be on their guard. It is a known certainty that one or more bands of renegades have gone from San Car los, and further that the last ones to leave attempted murder at Pow ell's Camp on the Gila a few nights ago. The present whereabouts of these would-be assassins is still a matter of conjecture. Until further details and more authentic informa- tion of their movements it stands well for country residents to follow the Dutchman's advice and Hook a leedle out.

ALASKA bids fair to become a Territory of great prominence. Not withstanding the many mining swim dles therein, the county possesses immense mineral belts that exceed in size and richness almost every thing else found in the world. Many failures and mistakes are bound to be seen and made, no new Territory is exempt from them, and much more can be said in favor of the mineral outlook of the territory than against it. The recent sale of the Bear Nest group of mines on Doug. lass Island to the Rothschild's of London for S2,50O, 1000 is without parallel on the North American continent and will largely aid in bringing the resources of that won, derful land into deserving promi hence. In Alaska the life oi the hardy miner and prospector is one of continuous toll and privation, as an almost eternal winter stands on watch and her great treasures remain securely locked in its icy clasp.

Arizona's Fruits.

It makes ones mouth water to read in Southern Arizona papers of the luscious fruit now so plentiful there. The fruit brought to Flag staff is insipid, as most California fruits are, with the reputation they have gained at the expense of Ari- zona and Mexico nevertheless. The choicest fruits shipped East as the product of California are grown in the valleys of Southern Arizona, re- packed and shipped from California markets. With through railroad to the South, Northern Arizona will be supplied with delicious fruit that now largely goes to waste. The Sentinel thus compares Yuma with California
 "There is not Q fig orchard yet in full bearing in California. Yet figs are selling in this market to-day at 25 to 75 cents per box, while dried figs, we'll packed in bulk, bring 4 cents and upward per pound, If the fig ever had a home, that home is in Southern Arizona. It grows here luxuriantly by the roadside, and when properly cultivated pro duces astonishing crops. The terri tory in which the fig may be sue cessfully grown is limited, Arizona can grow this fruit to perfection. !"

Ex-GovERNoR SAFFoRD informs the Tucson Citizen that in his opin- ion Southern Arizona could be made one of the most famous wintering places in the United States. Its winters are equal to those of Florida and surpass those of California, but this is unknown to the people who seek such places, and will so remain a terra incognita to them unless the people shall see proper to make it known. California in winter is too wet, and possibly Florida may have like failing, but in Southern Ari- zona the temperature is equable,
 the air dry and warm, the mountain scenery picturesque and grand, the roads good and the people hosptable.

MR. BLAINE's idea of the tariff is undoubtedly the correct one. It is essentially question of wages, that is to say, and the workingmen are the ones who are most interested in the maintenance of that admir- able system of protection which has the effect, as they know by practi- cal experience, of securing to them a better return for their labor than is received by the wage-workers of any other country in the world.
