Entertaining a Guest,

Forty years ago every town in New Eng
land had its lyceum, and, as one Of the win
ter's recreations, a course of lectures deliv-
cred by clergymen, politicians and men dis
tinguished in literature. Hospitality was
freely extended to the lecturer, and not in
frequently, if he was notable man, several
families invited him to become their guest.
The late Richard 81. Dana, Jr., the author
Of 1.-TWO Years Before the Mast" used to tell
a story illustrative of the effort made by
hosts to entertain their distinguished guests
Mr.. Dana once lectured in a country town,
and then walked home with the president OF
the lyceum, farmer. After long silence
the farmer said:
'Mr Dana, b'lieve you wrote book
once?"
Eyes"
"Waal, never read it myself; my folks
have, though"
Dead silence again fell upon the two until
their arrival at the farmers house, where Mr..
Dana was introduced to the invalid wife, who
had not been to the lecture.
'My DEAR" said the farmer, 81 believe
you've read Mr.. Dana's book9"
The wife stared, and then recovering her
self, answered: 81 b'lieve I've heard speak of
it."
Apples were brought in, and with them
came the farmers daughter, little black
eyed, sharp looking school girl
Susan Liza" said the farmer, you've
read Mr.. Dana's Two Years Before the
Mast haven't youG"
Susan Liza replied quickly, mo, sir" and
there was dead silence till bedtime. Youth's

Mental OverworiS,

The English Anthropological society has
been culling from reports Of schoolmasters'
observations on the symptoms Of mental ia
tigue. The observations reveal that weari-
ness Of mind reveals itself under the aspects
of irritability and incapacity. Children at
school showed such signs Of mental irritable
ity as sleeplessness and nervous laughter,
while those who were fatigued could neither
sleep nor get up their task work. The flag
ging will showed itself by lolling, yawning
and ianguid manner. Headache also re-
suited from overstrain in study, when COM
bined with defective ventilation. The Lon
don Lancet, commenting on these observa-
tons, says that mental and bodily overwork
is the most general and the least regarded
form of illness in this age. Its treatment re-
quires that due attention be paid to the two
great essentials Of timely rest and wholesome
diet. A man, says the Lancet, may work on
a liberal scale, provided be will interrupt its
continuity by timely and adequate intervals
of rest and will eat heartily of plain food. So
long as appetite and sleep arc unimpaired
there is little danger of overwork, but the
failure of either is natures warning signal
that the strain must be relieved

Though no doctor, 1 have by me some ex-
cellent prescriptions, and as charge you
nothing for them, you cannot grumble at the
price. We are most of US subject to fits, and
I am visited with them myself, and l dare
say that you are also. Now, then, for my
prescriptions.
For fit of passion, walk out in the open
air. You may speak your mind to the wind
without hurting any one, or proclaiming
yourself to be a simpleton.
, For a fit of idleness count the ticlings of a
). clock Do this for one hour, and you will be
glad to pull off your coat the next and work
like negro.
For fit of extravaganza and folly, go to
the workhouse, or speak with the ragged and
wretched inmates of a Jail, and you will be
convinced
Who maketh his bed of briar and thorn.
Must lie content to lie forlorn-
For fit of ambition, go into the church
yard, and read the gravestones. They will
tell you the end of ambition.
For ft of repining, look about for the
halt and the blind, and visit the bed ridden
and afflicted, and they will make you ashamed
of complaining of your lighter Affections
For fit of dependency, look on the good
things which have been given you in this
world. He who goes into his garden to look
for cohwebs and spiders will find them, while
1-vSlse who looks for flower may return into
his house with one blooming in his button
hole

THE ARIZONA KICKER.

NoTICE.-We desire to give notice to the
public at large that the next man who filings
a stone against our Office door will have to
outrun six bullets. We have got tired of the
business. We don't want to seem captious,
but enough is enough. Tim Reeves, Joe
Smith and Hank White will please take
notice.
GONE HoME.-News reached town yester-
day that William Napoleon Harrington.
otherwise known as French Bill, had departed
from this world. He was materially assisted
by three or four bullets which Hank Hender-
son fired into him during dispute about the
ownership Of a piece of land. We don't know
whether Henry was right or wrong, but we
have felt for some time that this cold world
was no place for Mr.. Harrington. He wasn't
bit content, and he was in the habit of
shooting at such people as were. He wanted
better weather, more latitude for his skill
with the pistol, and we truly hope he's got
it.
LAME EXPLANATIONS. "A stranger, sup
posed to be man who is wanted for murder
in Tucson, was discovered hiding under the
bridge the other day and taken to Jail to be
held until identified. That night he dug his
way out, and next day the sheriff was around
trying to get hundred dollar bill changed.
He says he found the bill on the street, but
that story looks fishy. There isn't man in
this town that wouldn't yell q lung out If he
lost that much money. The prisoner used
crowbar to dig out with, and the sheriff says
he must have had it concealed in his pistol
pocket. The official owes US SIS, and if we
can get our hands on the money this week we
shall, in our next issue, advise the public to
run him out of town as dishonest scoundrel
A SURPRISE PARTY.-Two or three weeks
since we denounced Col Hallimen as claim
jumper, mule stealer and wife deserter, and
added few words to the effect that he would
look well at the end Of rope. Saturday
evening, as we were talking with the cashier
of the First National bank, the colonel ap-
preached us and warned US to prepare for
death. Greatly to our own amazement and
to the intense surprise of the whole street, we
didn't run. On the contrary, we sailed into
the colonel like q brick house falling on
sand fly, and we had him licked inside of five
minutes.
We can't account for these freaks in our
nature. Sometimes we fight like a tornado
and again we run like jack rabbit. People
intending to lay for us must take their
ces.-Detroit Free Press. s

HOW jim WAS BADLY SOLD.

And his Brother Explains That the Other

''Yes, Tn in mourning" said the man, as
he carefully removed his hat and gazed at the
piece Of Grape which hid the band ''It's for
my brother Jim, who was planted about five
months ago."
'Sick longg'
'Not minnit."
Accidentally killed, theng"
"You might call it accident, but it wasn't.
It was case of misleading human nature"
The man tenderly brushed some dust off the
Grape, put on his hat, and after getting good
and ready, started out with:

lean river, out in Kansas I didn't amount
to much, but Jim was a dandy. He could
size up man as quick as you could halve an
apple. Didn't know what fear was, and the
Injuns was as afraid of him as death. I've
put up a $500 monument at his grave, and
you can judge by that he must have been q
pretty good man."
"Wellln
"Well late last fall, when we had stock
sale at the ranch, a sort of tramp came along
and got in Jim's way. Jim run over him and
they had some words The tramp wanted to
| fight, and the boys put Jim up to skeer the
liver out of him. Pm free to say I didn't like
the feller's looks. There was sumthin back
of his every day look, which had CLEAN Of
danger in it. Jim sized him up for a runner,
and when said the chap would fight, Jim
whispered:
Pete, you never knew me to be wrong.
I'll skeer him till all his ha'r loosens at the
roots
''To make great spread of it, the boys
fastened the two together by their left arms
and gave each bowie knife. They thought
the tramp would back water when it came to
the tying, but he didn't. He was right thar,
and didn't even turn pale. 1t was agreed that
tuCJ az IHo nO10I tAI1u SLO nOIo
was held five minutes to let the tramp wilt.
He stood like rock, and Jim couldn't back,
you see, without losing character"
"And they foughtf'
at wasn't much of fight. Jim was as
handy with the knife as any man within q
hundred miles, but he stood no show in that
rumpus. The word was given, the tramp
made lightning motion, and the next thing
see was Jim dead on the grass, his head cut
almost off. Thar wasn't but one lick struck"
'And-and whatp'
Nothing much. The tramp omitted hisself
and walked off, as cool as barl of ice, and
we planted jim on q knoll back of the mule
pen"
"What did the crowd say!"
''Said that my brother jim had better
stuck to readin' the character of mules and
steers and let strangers alone, and l agreed.
I'm in mourning fur Jim, but 1 allow he bit
off more'n he could chaw, and he shouldn't
done it. Grape looks well on mouse color,
don't it? It's reminder that in the midst of
life we may bark up the wrong tree. San

Suicides,

The statistics of suicides show that the
number of them does not greatly increase
year by year. In New York, from 1870 to
1884, suicides did not increase as rapidly as the
population. They averaged the first three
years of this period of fifteen years, lis, in
the next three years covering '73, IA and
TO-, 155; in the next three years 140, and in
the next three years but AS. But in the last
three years, 80, 'S3 and 'S4, all hard years.
suicides rose to 1876; but even this is not so
per cent greater than the hard years, '73, IA
and rs, although population has risen to this
extent.

Tho LONGEST River.

If we take the Mississippi and Missouri to-

in the world. The Amazon by name is only
thousand miles long. 1t then becomes the

is not so long as the Mississippi-Missouri, but
longer than what we call the Mississippi. The
