A Beetle in Harness.

Not long since many newspaper para graphs were current about pretty beetle which the southern ladies were in the it crawled at will, held by tiny gold chain. This beetle is the maqueche It is perfectly inoffensive, has no odor and does not deface or stain the most delicate fiber. The adjusting of the golden har- ness is nice operation, the metal being soldered on it. The harness consists of a girdle about the insects waist-between the thorax and the abdomen-to which above and below is joined slender band passing over the posterior portion of the body, longitudinally, while a small chain is attached to this harness by little staple, which chain terminates in a hook or pin to fasten in the bodice.
 By many Mexicans the insect Is re- garded as an amulet or mascot, and is usually highly prized by foreigners when obtainabie Parties who have owned in sects of this kind have often attempted to maintain them on sugar and water, but the beetles always Perished in a short time. But if fed on decayed wood, which is their natural food, they may be kept alive and thriving for more than year.
 The wing covers or shell of the beetle is exceedingly hard. Its color is light chocolate shade, and when full grown it is about an inch and half long. It has been stated that this beetle can cut through soft metal, and this fact is one of the most interesting about it. When placed in glass jar covered by thin pewter lid it has been known after few hours of chipping and cutting to make a hole sufficiently large to allow it to pass through. Specimens of this insect and the cut metal were shown at a recent meeting of the Microscopical society," New York Evening Sun.

The outlook for the stockmen of Arizona is propitious. The Summer rains, though somewhat late in mak- ing their welcome presence felt, have now "set in" in earnest, and the pros poets for a good grass year are most encouraging. Cattle in most SC tiol are in good condition at the present time, and should the season prove all that 1t promises to be, our cattlemen will have more and better beef to mark ct the coming Fall and Winter than ever before. And age will give much of this beef weish that has not heretofore characterized the beef pro- duct of this Territory. In previous years many steers have been disposed of at two years of age, and very few have been older than three years. There are now, however, thousands of -year-old steers on the range, and many older; and it is not probable that but very few steers under three years of age will be sold this year. That there will be a demand for all the available beef supply of Arizona, WS ldNS llO QOuDl. AdlllOTl1d VIII want the most, if not all, of it, and it is the general opinion that prices will be better the coming Autumn than the last. The range in Northern Ari- zona is better in the Spring than in the southern portion of the Territory, giving our Northern neighbors good beef at time when our supply of this article is limited. Consequently, thousands of steers have gone forward to market from the northern counties during the past few months, which will greatly reduce the number of beeyes that section will have to market in the Fall. Therefore, we believe the stockmen in Southern Arizona will find ready demand for all their beef, and at remunerative fgures.-Wilcox StOckmaD

The Wilcox Stockman speaks ap- provingly of two young San Carlos Apache bucks, recently returned from the Carlisle, Pa, Indian school. The education of Indians for term of years at schools established for that purpose in the East, is of doubtful ex- pediency in the opinion of most per sons who have had opportunities of observing its effect on the Indian character. Indians, during two or three years'attendance at these schools acquire moderately proficient knowl- edge of the English language, and many ideas, from the whites, not de- sirable. After their return to the reservation they almost invariably retrograde to their former habits, and are often discordant spirits in their tribe, stirring up strife and melting rebellion. The only way to educate an Indian is to separate from his tribe, when young, teach him to labor with his hands, and when capable of sup porting himself, set him adrift in u e East to earn living. To allow him to return to his tribe is t. destroy all that has been accomplished towards making him more intelligent and sel. = upporting.-Silver Belt.

 The alumni of Phillips academy number over 5000 men. Many of the most dis tinguished men of the United States were educated there. among them the Hon. Lewis Cass, who was born in Exeter, sec retary of state under President Buchanan. The people of Exeter have not been satisfied to educate men without educat- ing helpmates for them. William Robin son founded the Robinson Female semi nary, wlich is fast becoming prominent. Robinson removed to Georgia and died there in 1864. He was educated at the Phillips academy in the class with John G. Palfrey, Jared Sparks and John A Dix. Robinson left $200,00 for the bene- it of Exeter. The corner stone of the seminary was laid in 1868, and the build ing was completed and dedicated a year later.
 Exeter is an old fashioned town. It has a great many old landmarks, resi- dences, churches, etc., which give it a venerable appearance. There is a man sion called Under the Elm" the resi- dence during the Revolution of Nicholas Gilman, who was in correspondence with Madison, Clinton, Gen.

Judge Riddle, of Philadelphia, while charging jury recently, said that at the present day there were two classes that faycr.d lotteries-yely religious people and very bad people The first class wish the exclusive right to have rallies and modified lotteries, in order to make money for the Church and serve God. The other class also finds it an easy way to make money. But the Judge added that he had far more difficulty with the religious people. In Puritan times nothing was more common than lottery to pay church debt, or for town purposes, snch as b lilc in bri rilges, sem;n; r. If l.trn- ing, and for governmental purposes.

The importance of publishing a dis solution notice in any case of ch n e of firm is shown by case recently de- cided at Erie, Pa. A note was given for $2,5O0 by former member of the firm and the firms name signed to it. It was discounted at the bank and the maker of the note appropriated the pro ceeds to his own use. Being unable to collect ii when due, the bank sued the firm for the amount.
