N. Y., whence she went, in 1863, to Brooklyn, to accept the position of lady principal at Dr. Vests Brooklyn Heights seminary. A recent writer in Harper's Bazar says of her and her work there:
 "Each year of her connection with the seminary strengthened her ennobling influence over her pupils and added to her large circle of friends. Those who had been her pupils never forgot her teachings, and in whatever condition of life never ceased to hold Miss Brigham in loving, living remembrance. Women who had graduated from her care sent their daughters to enjoy the same gra- cious presence, and so her circle of bless ing ever widened."
 Her election to the presidency of Mt. Holyoke took place in the spring of the present year, and though she accepted the call to higher sphere and wider usefulness gladly, yet she did so trem- blingly, her own thoughts on the subject being, as she expressed them to some New York friends: "If I go may suc- ceed. may fail, but go I must"
 She had for some time been hard at work on the project of raising money for the erection of new building for the institution she was to preside over, and though little had been accomplished at the time of her unexpected death, there is no doubt that her efforts would have been successful had she been spared She never knew how popular she was in Brooklyn and New York until she de cided to leave, and her standing in the educational world is best indicated by the fact that she had repeatedly been of fered such positions as the presidency Of Wellesley college and professorships at Wellesley, Smith and other colleges. Her life dream was to found a young la l dies school of her own.
 Miss Brigham was member of Dr.. Storrs' church in Brooklyn, and when she was killed was on her way to Brook l lyn to pass one more Sunday in her be- loved church home. Her mother, a sis ter and two brothers survive her,

 It is well known fact that the wider the base on which body rests the greater is its stability, for then, even with considerable inclination, its center of gravity falls within its base. The well known leaning towers of Pisa and Bologna are so much out of the yer tical that these seem ready to fall at any moment, and yet they have retained for cen turies their present positions, because the perpendculars let fall from their centers of gravity are within the base. In the cases alluded to the position of the center of gray lty is fixed This Is not the case with men and animals, whose center of gravity is con tinually varying with tIeir attitudes and with the loads they support

The Portuguese own a narrow strip of territory surrounding it, and as it will probably eventually be- come the principal outlet of the Trans vaal, they value the possession highly.
 An English syndicate was given the right of building certain railroads and other improvements, with the stipula- ton that should the work not be finished within a specified time, all the property of the syndicate should revert to Portu- gal. A delay of day or two occurred and the Portuguese, without any warn ing, began to destroy the nearly finished railroad and insult the EngGshmen. It is said that some shots were fired. It almost caused serious rupture between the countries, but cooler counsel prevail ed and the matter will be settled by ar bitration.

OF A REFORMED CROOK.
He Weeds a Wealthy Girl and Becomes an
 Influential Citizen.

Court House Detective George w. Ryan, who has just returned from California, says press dispatch to the Pittsbu-g Dispatch, saw num- Der of old-time crooks during his visit to the Pacific coast One of them-"Brocky" Horton, who was implicated with Lou Hauck in the murder of a travelling man in Ohio several years ago-is doing we'll Hor ton and Hauck were both hotel sneak and sure-thing men, and Hauck Is still in the Columbus penitentiary for the murder. Horton was pardoned and went west. He landed i'll Fresno, Cal, where Le Blanche, the prize fighter, trained for his late fight with Dempsey. Horton was lon the skates" there, but did not have pair of shoes to cover his feet Somehow or other he met a Spanish girl of wealthy parents who was attending the Sisters Con"ent at Fresno. Horton is a tall, lanky, ill-shaped fellow, and his face is so covered with smallpox pitts that it looks like sieve. Besides, he has dll ugly OlGoI6ub SIIdpOu SCtil Oll HIS forehead-the result of loathsome disease. Notwithstanding all this he succeeded in winning the Spanish girl, and the day after she graduated from the convent Horton married her. She proved to be worth $100,00O in her own right, and "Brocky" was not long in finding it out. To-day he drives the streets of Fresno behind spank ing team of horses and lives in the finest residence i'll the country He even has a large vineyard attached, with the words "B. Horton, Proprie- tor" over the entrance. He is looked upon as one of the best and most in fluential citizens of the place, and but very few people there know him as the thief who has done time in nearly every large prison in the country.

Call a Halt.

We understand there is a petition
 in circulation asking for the pardon of Eutiomo Baca. It will be next in order for the people to get up a peti- ton for the release of all prisoners confined in the penitentialy at Yuma. This done, the next in order would be the abOlishment of all courts. Then
 an edict from the Governor of the
 Territory for each individual to de- fend his life and property at his own
 hazard and expense. This thing of pardoning criminal after criminal, is
 becoming a serious matter to the peO- pie of this county. Too many have already been pardoned, for the good cf the law abiding people, and Governor Wolfey, before exercising the pardon ing power in this case, should ac- quaint himself thoroughly with the character of the convict he is asked to release, and see whether he is worthy of clemency. This man, Eutiomo Baca, was notorious thief and des- perado; an avowed thief; boasting of it, and claiming that he was too sharp to be caught It is well-known fact in Apache county that he never did an honest days labor ill his life. We say again, it is time to call a halt on this petition business, and if criminals in this county have friends and sym pathizers who will persist in 1t, in spite of the public veal, then it be- hooves Gov. Wolfiey, as a law-abiding citizen and chief executive of the Ter ritory, to be very chary how he exer- cises his power in this respect, and to examine thoroughly into the anteced- ents of all whom he is asked to par don, before doing so.-St. John Herald

GRAVITY.
 When a man stands upright, without any burden, his center of gravity is between the two thigh bopes. This, however, is not the case with man carrying a load, for, his own weight being added to that of the load, the common center of gravity is neither that of the man nor the burden. In this case, in order to retain his stability, the man must so modify his attitude as to keep his center of gravity directly above the base formed by his two feet. Thus porter with load on his back is obliged to lean forward Zig D, while a man carrying a load in one hand leans his body on the opposite side Zig. 9.
 In the art of rope dancing the difficulty consists in maintaining the center of gravity exactly above the rope. In order more easily to accomplish this, the performer holds in his hands a long pole, which, as soon as he feels himself leaning on one side, be inclines towards the opposite one and thus contrives to keep the center of gravity common to him. self and to the pole in a vertical line above the rope, and so preserves his equilibrium.
 A broad wagon is more stable than a mar row one; and Tn loading a wagon, the heavi- est goods should be in the bottom of the wagon, so that the center of gravity of the whole may be as low as possible.
 A boat is more easily upset when person stands up in it than when he is seated.

A THOROUGH DISGUISE.
A Recuperated Michigander Advertises
 the Arizona Climate.

the Arizona Climate.
 Chicago dispatch in the New York Press.
 The next time that John H. Miller grows fat he will probably do so in his own domicile, or at least will use every precaution not to do so when abroad. John is Michigander, who in April last approximately approached the mathematical definition of a line as something which has length but no breadth nor thickness.
 He had long fondled a desire to grow fat and had heard that Arizona air was peculiarly fitted to accomplish his purposes. He purchased return ticket over the Atlantic and Pacific road and went on his way full of hope John was so thin that the conductor paid particular attention to him lest he should be blown through one of the open windows and the newspapers howl for his own indictment for man. slaughter in having permitted such thing.
 Miller did not blow out of the win dow. He had will power enough to counteract the effect of the wind and he clung to his seat. He reached Ari- zona in good time and stayed there until he began the home voyage Ari- zona had done for him all that he had anticipated. He grew broad and stout until his friends hardly recognized him. On his return he unfortunately chanced to meet the conductor with whom he had travelled on his outward journey. When he presented the ticket the conductor looked at him quizzically and said:
 "That's all right for MT. Miller, but where is your ticket? I don't see Mil Ter. I'm willing to believe he's around here somewhere, but, as I've got no time to hire microscope to hunt for him, I'll take it for granted"
 "But Pm Miller" shouted the man. In vain did he protest and explain that he was the same individual, merely grown stouter.
 The conductor became enraged, stopped the train and had the only and original Miller hustled off. As they parted the conductor added in suit to injury by remarking:
 "Ta, ta, stranger. If you are Miller there'll be a breeze along toward night and it'll blow you home."
 That was the conductors inning. Now comes Miller's. He has sued the company for $10,000 damages, and says he is ready to prove that he is the same man who went West in | April last.

Messrs. Dumont and Wilson have telegraphed here that they will accept the proposition made them by some of the Wilcox business men in regard to the artesian well project, but the agreement has not yet been signed. The agreement is that the people here furnish the piping and give Messrs. Dumont and Wilson, who are to furn- ish the machinery and do the boring, bonus of twenty-five cents per foot. If artesian water is secured and the reward offered by the county obtained, such reward will go to Dumont and Wilson, while the well will be owned by the business men here who con tributed to the undertaking. Over $1 100 has been subscribed thus far, and it is probable that work will com mence as soon as the boring apparatus arrives, which will be in few days Wilcox Stockman.

 tive arrangement evidently serves its pur- pose fairly well, but the waste of time and labor in using it would not be tolerated by western nations. With this clumsy tackle it requires four hours to elevate the block of stone a distance of five feet. In China. however, nothing is cheaper than human labor, and the element of time is of little account; so they make up by the combined strength of large numbers of workmen for the lack of the speedy and powerful machinery used in moro enlightened countries.
 The illustration is not only good example of Chinese drawing, but it is of value from an archaeological point of view, and may possibly contain hint as to the way in which the pyramids and other great works of an tiquity were erected The Chinese are the most conservative of all nations, and the in dustrial processes now in use have survived from a remote antiquity.

Prominent people are as amenabie to accident as other folk, yet when one who stands well up toward the foremost rank in literature, science or art falls victim to disaster it causes an unwonted shock to the public mind; it almost seems to the reader that an acquaintance had been stricken down. And when the telegraph not many days ago carried over the continent the news that Miss Mary A. Brigham, the newly elected president of the Mt.
