Where the Ordinary Man Fails.

How few men there are who can successfully lay and light a fire. There are many who are able to lay and light it, but the results are us. ually painful to the patient house wife. She may send her bus band to the kitchen in the morning to start the fire, feeling confident that she can steal hail hour more of that comfortable doze which comes only with the dawn, but 1t Is an even bet that the smell ot burning wood will reach her nostrils sooner or later. and she will be oblig ed wearily to don her garments anu grope her way down stairs to the res cue of her well meaning but unsuc cessful other half. who. with his lungs full of the odor of burnt wood and the smoky tears running down his cheeks, is usually found engaged in endeavoring to put life into three sparks with his breath. The only men who are successful in starting fires are .he professional fire builders employ ed ill tue hotels, and when the ordin- ary man becomes hotel guest and re- poses i'll d warm couch on cold morning and sees how easily the ho. tel fireman does the work he realizes what a veritable chump he is himself.

A Kiss In the Dark.

Horace Vernet the artist. was go ing from Versailles to Paris by rail way. In the same compartment with him were two ladies whom he had never seen before, but who were evi- dently acquainted with him. They examined him minuteiy and com mented freely on his martial bearing, his hale old age, the style of his dress. etc. They continued their annoyance until finally the painter determined to put an end to the persecution. AS the train passed through the tunnel of St. Cloud the three travellers were wrap- ped in complete darkness. Vernet raised the back of his hand to his mouth and kissed it twice violently. On emerging from the obscurity he found that the ladies had withdrawn their attention from him. and were accusing each other of having been kissed by a man in the dark.
 Presently they arrived in Paris, and Vernet on leaving them sad: Ladies, shall be puzzled all my life by the .nqfIiry. which of these two ladies was it that kissed me?"-St. Louis Repub- t;c

Sent to Jail.

4 man giving his name as c. Armes came to grief and justice this morning before Judge Meyer. He has been in literary pursuits recently, but will not be again for sixty days. His literary pursuits consisted of swindling Miss M. Soto Mayos out of s4.50 for subscriptions to two fashion magazines, the L'Art de la Mode aud Review de la Mode. On the 10th of June he called at the dress making establishment of Miss Mayos on Pennington street, and by continued inn portunities and special inducements in duced her to pay him s4.50 for the two publications for one year: The receipt which he gave would have stamped him as fraud with any persons having a knowledge of business. It was written on very small paper, date "Foenix" and the writing was almost uninteiligi- ble. It was signed c. R. Flames. On the back of the receipt he left his ad- dress, Sacramento, California" so the lady corld correspond with him if any thing was wrong. you know. The pa pers of course never arrived.
 Since giving this receipt Armes has been at different places over the Terri tory, and no doubt other victims will be heard of. On the backs of the maga- zine is prominent notice that no agents are authorized to solicit subscriptions or receipt for the same.
 Armes was arrested yesterday and could give no explanation of the matter or show any authority as agent for that or any other concern. He looks like a tramp and evidently had only picked up the paper somewhere and has no connec- tion with it. Such men are liable to come along any day and the better plan is when you want paper is to either send the money directly the office or deal with someone known to be respon- siblc. Judge Meyers sent Armes to jail for sixty days,

 haven't had much chance to talk to the people along the San Pedro about the proposed Tucson and Globe turnpike but as it will be very much to their advantage to have this road. I doubt not that they will assist material ly in its construction. Capt. Milti- more's estimate of S26,OO is not half enough to complete this road and he cannot obtain water at Samaniego's ranch for $40 as Mir. Samaniegos already has a cry we'll sunk there to a i depth between 300 and 400 feet. The article in the CITIZEN of the 29th inst is good starter for this road and the supervisors of Globe and GIla counties : will meet the Tucsonites half way on any proposition for the building of the road. Keep up the good work. Tucson can get all or nearly all the Globe trade or traffic. and it is scerta:nly worth trying ! for.
 It is generally supposed here that MT. | Y. H. Barnhart has made another rich i strike in the Sample mine. All visitors are excluded from this mine and no one
 but the employees are allowed on the dumps. MT. Barnhart is very reticent on the subject and the miners that work in the mine are as dumb as last years birds nest, but it is reliably stated that they are picking up large quantity of ore on the dump and as the Sample ore l is extremely rich, it is presumed Mir. Barnhart is in luck again. This proper | ty belongs to the San Pedro Consolidat- ed Mining Co. of St. Louis, which Con- pany has been spending great deal of money in development work and now 1t seems there persistent efforts are about to be crowned with success.

Rather Chiyalric.

How strangely the good and bad is in- termingled in the breast of man is strik-
 ingly shown by the train of circum-
 stances attending the recapture of
 Smith, the train robber, who is now
 awaiting trial in the county jail. In
 March last he, in company with three
 others, robbed the eastern bound Alan
 tic < Pacific Express at Canyon Diablo,
 and month afterwards, after one of
 the longest chases on record, the party
 were captured by Sheriff O'Neil and
 posse in Utah, while on the return trip
 to Arizona, Smith effected his escape by
 jumping from car window on the Atch-
 ison, Topeka & Santa Fe while the train
 was rapidly decending the Raton noun tains in New Mexico. He at once struck out for Texas, taking horses wherever the opportunity presented and riding them as long as they were able to carry
 hIm. On the afternoon of the ninth day
 while Tn the "Pan Handle" near Vernon, Smith discovered woman aimlessly
 wandering over the prairie, and recogni- zing that she must be lost or in trouble,
 he road up and accosted her. She in formed him that she had been lost for two daya, during which time she had gone without food Knowing that in her emaciated condition she could not possibly survive much longer without assistance, Smith, the escaped train rob- fleeing though he was. to escape trial for crime the penalty for which was death, and still carrying on each leg h;s broken shackles-bethought him of windwill he had passed some eight miles back, and putting the woman ou his horse, conducted her to it. He left her and riding along the wire fence that en- closed the windmill for five or six miles. until he discovered the camp of the men employed to keep it in repair, and en- formed them of the woman's condition. They at once saddled, and, although the night was nearly gone. started at once for the windmill, and found the woman "a young school teacher from the east, weak, Tout still alive. and at once brought her to place where she was cared for. At daylight the Sheriff and posse in pursuit of Smith, met the same men and finding from their account and description, in which direction the fugi- tive had gone, pursued him. Before nigh noon they had overtaken him, and Smith, the train robber, who less than twenty-four hours before had turned From his way to succor an unfortunate woman, was shot from his saddle while resisting an arrest. which he might have l prevented by avoiding the delay and | observation so entailed, The story is | good enough to have moral, but, doubt | less Smith, who is now incarcerated in | the county jail awaiting trial for his life | on account of it, fails to discover it.
