Strategy and Tactics.

A battle does not consist, as many i'm agine, ip grand advance of victorious lines of attack, sweeping everything be- fore them, or the helter-skelter flight of the unfortunate defeated. The historian must so present it in his descriptions, the artist in his paintings. Even the writer of an official account must limit himself to the presentation of such mo- ments as demand special treatment. or to such episodes as involve important and instructive tactical movements. All those events which are less striking which pass more quietly. but which, nevertheless, contribute to the final re- suit, cannot be reproduced without too much expansion. Those incidents which no account of the battle. official or un- official. takes any note of, the thou sand and one events observed only by the participants, the innumerable cases in which the direction and control of af- fairs glide out of the hands of the officers these are the little drops of water that make the mighty ocean of battle and de- termine victory or defeat.-United Ser. vice,

Hfistaking . Royalty.

One night at reception at Mrs Ron- aids while l was perched upon sofa watching the brilliant assemblage, fell into conversation with a pleasant gentle man seated beside me, who was very curious about America and American life. told him great deal about America, and said that Americans in England would not at once know how to address people properly. "As for me, y l said, ''I am as green as gooseberry on this subject; even if supposed you were one of the nobility should not know how to address you" A few moments afterward Mrs. Ronalds said to me: "Mr. Wilder, that's a good thing you've been saying to the Duke of Teck; you've made an impression upon his highness." re- piled: "Why, haven't met the Duke of Teck; the only gentleman I've been talk ing to is standing over there." "Wel, says Mrs. Ronalds, "that is the Duke of Teck." Graciousi I am little enough fellow by nature, but just then you might have put me in pint cup.-Mar' shall P. Wilder's Book.

Paper Pencll&.

One of the difficulties which have stood in the way of the substitution of paper pulp for wood in the manufacture of pen cils has been the toughness of the paper covering, and it's consequent resistance to the action of knife. By new pro- cess which has been patented, the mole cular cohesion of the paper is modified in such a manner that it can be cut as easily as cedar wood. The paper Is first of all made into tubes, and quantity of them are placed in frame at the lower end of cylinder. The substance which is to be used as marking material is placed in the cylinder while in plastic condition, and sufficient pressure is then applied to force it into the hollow centers of the paper tubes After the compile. tion of the process the pencils are grad ually dried at increasing temperatures during period of six days. and they are then plunged into vessel of molten paraffine wax, which has the effect oi modifying the texture of paper pulp as described. - Manufactures and Indus tries

A Leprous Princes. in Paris.

The London leper has caused, hear, quite a scare. have no doubt that there has always been lots of leprosy in the world, but that we know nothing about it, because the doctors give it a fine Greek name. Why not translate all the new Greek names of disease into graphic English? If there were a descriptive name that we could understand for every malady a long step would be taken to- wards curing them. What meaning, foI instance, does the word eczema convey to the unlearned mind? Whenever hear doctors giving evidence to jury feel as if they were talking in a foreign lan- guage which nobody but themselves can understand. It would, perhaps, startle the world to hear that the Prince of Wales leper could find his match in a palace in this city, where there is lepei high and mighty from a heraldic stand. point. She is on kissing terms with our royalties. This illustrious person has been nearly twenty years attacked with the disease, which is kept in subjection by careful daily treatment. I never heard that she had given it to any one. There is, however, no doubt whatever as to the nature of her affection. They say that the primary cause of leprosy in heI case was the consanguine marriage of her ancestors.-ParisL Letter.

plies something open, attractive, accessl- ble to the eye. A villa on the European continent, and often in England, implies an inaccessible wall with iron gates.
 It is impossible to deny that there is something very attractive in the privacy created by the wall The world is left outside, and the family is as free within it's own domain as if it lived on planet of its own. A suburban villa at Ken sington or Hammersmith, for instance, safe within it's encircling wall, possess ing it's own fountain, its own nightin- gale, and almost its own moonlight what can be more delightful? Or the patio or inclosed court, of Spanish house, where the house itself makes the garden, and the world is absolutely ex- cluded? On the other hand, these very charms increase the regret felt by every generous nature for the exclusion thus implied. They press home the question, was the earth really meant for the few, or for the human race? Many an Amer ican traveller has felt this drawback on the delicious rural life of England. Charles Sumner, who was more petted
 
 since his day, and was suspected of An glomania on his return by even his ever kindly friend Longfellow, yet wrote soon after, l have always enjoyed the refinement of the best society, but have never sat in the palaces of England with out being pained by the inequality of which the inordinate luxury was a token"
 Of course it may be justly said that property is property, and that the most imperceptible line drawn around real es- tate-or no line at all-leaves it just as clearly within private ownership as if the wall were there. This is true, but it is also true that the ownership becomes less exclusive from the moment when it ceases to be visible and, as it were, ag- gressive. If the foot of stranger is ex- cluded, it is something that the eye is not. I once heard poor Portuguese woman say that she and her husband were 80 destitute they had nothing but the day and the night;" but the day and the night are less valuable-say, rather, that there is too little day and too much night-for those who are shut out from even the sight of the landscape by high walls The mere denial of all possibility of ownership is bad enough. remem- ber how depressing it was, on first visit to Europe, when 1t suddenly dawned upon me that the whole beautiful region of Killarney, with lakes, hills. villages, factories and square miles of verdure was all the literal property of two men the Earl of Kenmare and Herbert of Muckross," so that not square foot oi the territory could be bought by any one and whole village might at any tims be evicted at the will of a single proprie tor. It certainly set one thinking as tc whether the human race. as such, had any rightsin the planet.-Harper's Bazar

The Rlessinc of ChIldhond.

Blessed be childhood, which brings down something of heaven into the midst of our rough earthliness. These SO,O00 daily births, of which statistics tell us represent as it were an effusion of inno- cence and freshness, struggling not only against the death of the race. but against human corruption and the universal gan grene of sin. All the good and whole some feeling which is intcrtwined with childhood and the cradle is one of the secrets of the providential government of the world. Suppress this lite giving dew and human society would be scorched and devastated by selfish passion Sup posing that humanity had been composed of thousand millions of immortal be- ings, whose number could neither in crease nor diminish, where should we be and what should we be! A thousand times more learned, no doubt, but a thousand times more evil There would have been a vast accumulation of science, but all the virtues engendered by suffer- ing and devotion-that is to say, by the family and society-would have no exist ence. And for this there would be no compensation. Blessed be childhood for the good that it does, and for the good which it brings about calelessly and -un- consciously by simply making us love it and letting itself be loved What little of paradise we see still on earth is due to it's presence among us. Without father hood, without motherhood, think that love itself would not be enough to pre- vent men from devouring each other men. that is to say, such as human pas sions have made them. The angels have no need of birth and death as founda- tions for their life, because their life is eavenly.-Amiers Journal, translated by Mrs. Humphrey Ward.

A Pioneer.

Mir. D. c. Thompson, one of ArizO- zona's early pioneers and former resident of this place, is paying Flor ence a visit to gather proof in sup port of his claim against the United States for Indian depredations. He passed through Arizona in 1S49, to California and returned in 1854, since which time he has resided in the ter ritory and in Sonora. his present home heing in Harshaw, Pima county. His father operated the first ferry across the Colorado river.
 He first lost valuable span of mules at Sonoyta, on the Mexican boundary line, 165 miles from Yuma. The only remaining associates of his trip along that survey are Messrs. P. R. Brady, Granville Wheat and Hill DeArmitt of this place; Solomon War ner and Pete Kitchen, of Tucson. In January, 1871. he lost the finest team of mules in the territory. He had sent out several Pima Indians from Sacaton, where he had established a station, to gather load of hay for a body of troops on their way to Fort Mcdowell; and the Apaches jumped" them took the mules and set fire to the hay in tho wagon. The old iron work can yet be seen on the desert.
 He lost 270 head of cattle from Sac aton and Adamsville, all stolen by the Apaches, and upon this loss he bases his claim for damages against the gov ernment. There are many witnesses to the facts in this vicinity and his proofs will be strong.
 Mir. Thompson was the first deputy collector of customs in Arizona, hay ing been appointed by Collector w. w. Mills, of New Mexico, in 1865, and as signed to Yuma.
 Mir. Thompson is just B years of age, though he looks somewhat older. He is full of interesting remlniscence of the olden days of danger and has experienced all the hardships and vi- cissitudes incident to frontier life. But very few of his old comrades are still in the flesh, the larger portion of them having fallen before the bullets of the treacherous Apaches, and hi. memory extends across a broad grave yard of friends and associates. His health is not good, although he still possesses much of the vigor of those early heroes and the recompense Inc seeks from the government for his loss es will assist him in making his de | clining years comfortable.

rales from .he Gum Arahic.

In the visions of the night Malek Ah Drawbar lay upon his bed, and saw all peoples of the earth hastening together, to be assigned to their future abiding places. As he looked off to the left he saw a vast multitude, whom no man might nunlher, hocking by themselves, and at short intervals large crowds came from various directions to join them. selves with this great throng. He no. liced also that all these people regarded each other with strong but ill concealed suspicion. And who are these," asked Malek Ak Drawbar, "who outnumber the sands of the seashore for multitude?T "Oh, those fellows?' replied his guide "those are the men who discovered Arte- mus Ward and brought out Bill Nye. And what will be done with them2' asked Malek. Cant tell," replied his guide; they're not all in yet; they'll bt coming in along for the next century. And then Malek Ak Drawbar, remem. boring that he had once written to The Boomer Habbeek that he was the first man to find Mark Twain and develop tht humor that was then latent in him, gave a cold shiver foot long and awoke "I was close squeak for me-" he said, and he resolved that during the rest of hi life he would tell the truth, so far as il was compatible with editorial writing or a reform paper.-Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle.

Settling g Controversy.

TUcsoN, ARIZONA, Sept. 30, 1889. EDITOR ENTERPRISE In one of your late issues notice some one under the cover of regular correspond ent, advertises "freely" the merits of the Cyclone windmill. The gentle man does not seem to hesitate in pro- nouncing the Cyclone as the best, al- though he never saw the "Aermotor windmill" Az I do not wish to take up much of your valuable time and space, will simply state that the S. foot Aermotor is guaranteed to do as much work as any 10loot wooden wheel made, therefore being its equal but, however, not having as much sail surface, it is consequently not so liable to wreck in storm, besides having the great advantage of being made entirely of steel. Examine the Aermotor and be convinced.
