MAN AND WIFE.
The bill to require or allow wife to
testify against her husband in criminal
and civil cases, and cice cerSd came up as
the special order.
Mr.. HAY of Madison urged the passage
of the bill.
Mr.. Elan of Louisa protested against
It's passage, and claimed that it would
promote trouble in home where there
should be nothing but love. Mr. Saunders
of Franklin also opposed it saying that
all would 90 back to barbarism if we
thus invaded the social relations of man
and wife. Mr BufOrd of Richmond said
that he could not express emphatic
enough his abhOraDce of the proposed
legislation. 1t was degrading, contrary
TO the purity, ssnciity, and truth of the
Virginia idea OF the marital relation.
God who made man and woman, one for
the other, made them 10 become one.
Who shall say that one must be com
PEELED 10 testify against the other, against
their own sense of affection, the ties of
life, or take the other alternative and
commit perjury
The debate was continued by Mr..
Flood of Appomattox.
Mr. Hay of Madison said that all this
talk about the sanctity of home was mere
sentimentaity. He repudiated the idea
that woman could be brought down from
the pure and exalted position she held by
any law.
Mr.. Hay offered the following amend
ment: Provided that no admission nor
communications made by husband and
wife to each other shall be given in
evidence.
The amendment was rejected
The House thea refused 10 engross the
bill Ayes, 10; noes, 90.

Central Siiver Mining co.

One of the very promising mining properties of Pinal county is the group ot claims twelve miles south of Casa Grande, recently sold by Mir J. C. Loss to the Central Silver Mining Company of St Louis, Mo.
 The group consists of three claims, the Horn Silver, Silver Reef and Gray Eagle mines, upon which quite large amount of development work had been done prior to the sale. Now three shafts are being sunk, one of them to be carried down 400 feet and the others 300 feet each. An ample force of miners are em- ployed and so soon as the hoist arrives additional men will be put on. Steam hoisting works and a twenty-stamp mill have been ordered and during the three or four months pending the construc- tion of the mip at San Francisco the work of development wil continue and the already immense ore body will be explored to Sufficient depth to deter mine the permaneDcy of the mines.
 A most rigid examination of these properties was made before the sale was consummated and every claim of merit made by Mir. Loss was not only fully | 5UDS StdAtlotSA OJ Al1O loClS, Oub IuS AllDGS were found even better that he had rep resented them to be-a virtue that is rare and commendable.
 The company operating these proper ties organized under the name of the Central Silver Mining Company, with Messrs. Jno Stephenson as President; Sig. Mayer, Vice President and Secre- tary, Jno. Gaunt, Treasurer, and w. ". Ashby, Superintendent. The company will work the properties upon legiti- mate business basis and, as the immense body of ore already opened up will mill an average value of over twenty-fve ounces of silver to the ton, they have a good prospect of large flu ture dividends.
 This enterprise will add another pro- dUcing property to Pinal county's long list of paying mines and it will assist materially in the general prosperity of the southern portion of the county as well as of Casa Grande, its base of sup plies

Bread and Butter in Mexico

Wheat bread is only used here by peo-
 pie above the grade of the peon class, but in the large cities and towns the peculiar double ended loaf of hard baked wheaton four bread is much eaten. Here in the City of Mexico a great Spanish baker controls large part of the bread trade.
 No one bakes bread at home, but it is universally bought at the bake shops.
 There are several grades, and the best is really excellent. The Mexican wheat is of the finest quality, and thought by ex- perts to be superior to the finest Cali fornia or Minnesota wheat. It is a curious fact that butter is not in general use in this country. Somehow people manage to get along without t, and one good reason is that there Is no really fine grade butter to be had. l have found the G,~;4h te=4a+s,- t. ';;'r,--.., he good,
