The Poorer People of London.

The remarkable well being of children fin neighbOring slums and gutters would lead one to suppose that dirt is healthy, though of course there are many who do not exhibit such evidence of robustness. But 1t is certain that the pampered infant. carefully wrapped in flannel from its birth, and doctOred upon every possible occasion, is not. in the long run, of the same endur- ing constitution generally to be met with in the lower classes, though the grumble of these concerning their richer brethren is incessant.
 Look, however, at these specimens of humanity when they reach a maturer age, their coarse ideas and ways, which are followed by many others who have not their excuse. The very way in which the coster and his like make love partakes Of the brute He is unendowed with the power of forming his feeling into delicate or even acceptable speech, so he takes to banging or pinching, and one may see the well known type of "'Arry and his gal" of fine feathers, oiled hair and high heels cufIing each other to denote their affection, or coarsely assaulting their favorites to display their displeasure, and perhaps sulkily walking apart when annoyed, but not sufficiently irritable for any more az gressive form of venting their feelings London Cor.

Tinted State. Troop. in Mexico.

The victories won by the United States troops in Mexico years ago have generally been ascribed to the superior fighting qual- ities of the Americans over the MeXicans. Rut Capt. Lester s. Bartlett, of the Spen- cer Rife company, who was recently in Mexico. mentioned this theory; An old Mexican soldier told me that 1t was the American sharpshoOters that broke up their troops. All over Mexico you will find what are called arroyas. They are what we would call guiches, and occur everywhere on the plains. They have pre- cinitous banks and sometimes men walk into them without seeing them. They seem to he the rifts at the bottom Of a sea which one day may have covered the country. The American rifemen would drop into these arroyas, which formed natural rifle nits for them, and having superior rlnes for those days were able to pick of the Nexicans before the latter got within .booting distance with their bell mouth s-1,ns The slaughter that resulted always Broke up the Mexicans before they got within fighting distance. ."-New York Tribune,

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS

Now that there is evidence of s ho m ID the country and a general revival of business throughout the ya,;ons branches of industry m this city. the CITIZEN would like to see public inn Provements keep pace with it. The city, as Tar as these things are concerned has rather retrogrsded than improved within tue past several years. We do not believe ID, and would certainly not approve an iDjud'cious expenditure of pubic monies, or an abuse of the pub- lic's credit, but We do favor legitimate improvements, such that have a ienien- cy to beautitY and better the condition of our city and enhance property values. The latter will bs but the natural results following close upon said improvements. conditioned they are stable and perma- nent.
 Since Tucson became an incorporated town-swsy back in the seventies. 1t has not had s10,OO0 worth of permanent im- provements pat on it. The various city councils have, of late years. been antag- onistic one to the other. What the pre- ceding council pu. up the succeeding council tore down. One council lit the streets with gas, thelr successors turned 1t of. The electric light, following shortly after, met with like fate and the cIty was relegsted to its ancient darkness and the belsted citizen was committed to the mercy of the wolfish thug. The town hall and engine house alone survive the econo- mist and this probably because no req sonsble excuse could be found for their demolition. In addition to this it must not be forgotten, we have 8 few rods of good streets in dry weather
 But with the revival of business we hope 10 see a revival of public enter prise, not simply by the town council, but by private citizens also. Let Bn ArboF day be appointed and recognized, and all property owners regardless of of caste or previous condition ofssrvitude to sntiqusted ideas, organize themselves into committees oI ones and plant iress and then case for them when planted. The money thus expended will be re turned to them four fold in the iuc cas- ed valuation of the property they adorn, to say nothing of the seif-grstfcssion and comfort derived in thus being privi- legged to sit under oue's own vine and fig tree. If needs be let the citizens and council cooperate, any way in fact, to let the good work go on.

Short storie. of the Best Class.

cannot agree with Mir. Howells that the well wrought short story is abundant. There are short stories whose number is beyond count and whose readableness is above zero, but the short story such as Mir. Towels exalts is certainly rare. But this is not meant as an indictment of our writers, for a short story of the best class is distinctly the most difficult thing to ac- complish in literature. It implies almost all that the novel requires-freshness of characterization and novelty of situation; and hence q writer must be rich in re- sources who can afford to lavish upon a miniature discoveries in the way of char acter and incident sufficient to set forth heroic canvas \ well known novelist once said to me: II cannot afford to write short stories; if I invent anything god enough for a short story have in vented something that is the nucleus of a novel" From this point of view it is a wonder that short stories are written at all.-ECme Journal.

Getting Out of a Serape.

Said an old veteran and prominent business man: You would not believe it, but at one time I was a member of one of the military bands in the old army. It 50 happened that the regiment to which our band was attached was sent 10 Fort Pulaski We were on one of the gun boats maneuvering in that region, and on one occasion in passing up the river, which had several outlet channels or mouths, the boat ran up the wrong channel, one so narrow that it cid not permit a turn of the boat except under the very guns of the rebels The officer in command soon discovered the mistake, but the question was how he was to get out of the scrape
 ''Sulnn distance 70 the front the channel widentd, so that there would be no diff culty ID turning the boat for retreat if tha rebel guns which commanded that part Oi the channel would keep quiet. The officer called the band tl,ether and instructed them tO play Dixie We did it and did our best. and that Federal gun boat swung round into the wide part of the channel, the hand playing the fayorite tune and the rebels cheering us instead Of firing Et us. As soon as the turn was made and the boat was out of the imme- diate range of the heavy guns we changed instantly tO The Star Spangled Banner and then it was bang and crash and roar. the very men who had been cheering us not two minutes before sending bullets after us.

The Vanderbilt Children.

Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt, relict or the man. who, when he lived, was the richest man on earth, was a Miss hissam, daughter of an American clergyman, whose stock was originally English. She had the extreme good fortune to marry Vanderbilt when he was working for his father for S1, coo a year, poor, dependent and as thoroughly in awe of the old com modore as when he was lad. She bore Vanderbilt eight children-Margaret, now Mrs. Eliot F. Shephard; Cornelius, Will liam K, Emily, now Mrs. Emily Thorne Sloan. wife of the great carpet dealer; Frederick W, Florence Adele, now wife of W.

THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.

When you feel kind of goneness about the stomach it IS sign that your fDod does not sit well and that you are about to have fit of indigestion.
 When you begin 70 feel nervous sud are unable to sit still comfortably; when your clothes suddenly seem to lose tn 'ir fit and become too tight in places the it of indigestion is surely upon you.
 When this fit of indigestion is repeated from day to day it finally resolves itself into dyspepsia.
 Chronic dyspepsia will surely make the happiest life hell upon earth.
 Remember that three to ten of BRAS- DRErH's PILLS will cure the worst case of indigestion or dyspepsia, or both, and that a regular course of them, say two every night for a week or ten days will act as preventive of either complaint.

faetUtrs' Ree0,H From Maryland
to Texas progress is the order of the
day, and when the political excite
ment is over and the crops are har-
vested then we may look for period
Of wonderful activity in all lines of in
dustry.
The Manufacturers Record has re-
peatedly called attention to the in
creasing diversity of the industrial
growth of the South. Small enter
prises of all kinds are springing up in
every direction, and year by year the
South is increasing It's production of
many articles for which it has hereto
fore been dependent upon other sec
tons. An examination of the recent
industrial growth of that section will
show how rapidly this is going on. In
Atlanta $500, 900 company is pre-
pairing to supply large part of the
Southern demand for sewing machines.
Glass factories in Alabama and Geor-
gia have proved that the South can
make its own glass. Car works III
twenty or twenty-five places and loco
motive works in Richmond and Ro-
anoke demonstrate that the South can
make its own cars and locomotives at
lower cost than they can be made
for in the North or West. Furniture
and carriage factories all over the
South are beginning to supply the
home demand, while canning faCto-
ries are saving hundreds of thousands
Of dollars to the South. No where
else in all the world is the raw material
for almost every line ofmanufacture SO
abundant as in the South, and scarcely
week passes without some industry
entirely new to this section being Or
gained to turn this raw material into
wealth, while Of enterprises in estab-
hshed lines OF industry many are daily
started. AS illustrating the increas-
ing diversity Of the new enterprises we
give the following comparison, show

first nine months of each of the last
three years:
