A Reward of Merit.

While Tiberius was luxuristing at
Capree, an artist, who labOred under
the Emperor's displeasure, discovered
the composition of malleable glass, and
making a vase of the most exquisite
beauty, the secret of whose construction
was known only to himself, he begged
leave to present it. The Emperor stood
with his court about him, and when he
had returned the vase, WHICH had ex-
cited universal wonder, the artist, to
every ones CONSERVATION, threw it vio-
lently upon the earth. The first emotion
in the circle must have been that the
man was mad, the next that the vase
was in splinters; to every ones surprise
it was simply little dented on one side.
and the artist with few slight taps OF
his hammer restored it at once TO its
original shape. The Emperor, thinking
that an art which could do so much with
common sand and few other equally
common materials would naturally di-
minish the value of gold and silver and
brass, instantly ordered the artist to
execution.-Harper's Bazaar.

IN THE OLD ATTIC.

This d1sty old attici How mem'ry recalls
The far with which childhood regarded its
walls,
The terrors my curious spirits have daunted.
And how when the rats scurried over the
floor.
To fancy the semblance of footsteps they
wore,
haunted
And now. when the visions of childhood are
past
I daringly tread the dim precincts at last,
A half-startled awe in my memory fingers,
ASH kneel by a chest that times ravage detes,
And raise up the lid TO discover the prize
That lightly lift with IRE v'rent young fingers
How fancy doth conjure the scenes of past
days,
As the old-fashioned garments are brought to
my gaze,
These robes that outlasted the falr forms lhat
wore them.
Tho long they have slept in a slumber secure,
see the young grandmothers, proud and de-
mure,
And the grandfathers powdered perukes bent
before them.
These little blue slippers, with faded rosette
Have gracefully paced thro' some slow minuet'
And rnerrily danced thro' the heetlng night
hours.
And this silken ball gown. so dalntlly laceo,
I wonder who owned that diminutive waist,
And covered II with such impossible flowers:
These long, sweeping plumes, in a fashion that 5
fed,
Have nodded in state DER some fair powdered
head;
Bent. may be, to list some grandfather S
wooing.
These gloves perchanced prisoned the fingers
he pressed,
AS blushing like maids OF to-day, she con
fessed
The answer her heart gave the prayer Of his
suing.
And here. in paper tied round with band,
Is a flower that crumbles to dust in my hand,
And with faint, faded lines is the paper traced
over;
What secret Of lover, or lost or untrue,
Has it kept thro' century safely for you!
I'll softly replace, nor seek to discover.
will put back the garments my hand has dis,
closed
In the chest where century or more they've
repOsed,
Perchance when this heart hath forgotten all

Some daring young hand like my own may
turn DER
The garments that her at-great-grand
mother wore,
And smile as she looks at the funny old fashions

POROUS WATERPROOFING.
An Effective Way of Excluding Water aRt
Admitting Air.

Admitting Air.
A porous waterproof cloth is the best
for outer garments during wet weather
for those whose duties or labor cause
them them to perspire freely. The best
way for preparing such cloth is by the
process adopted for the tunics of the
French soldiersduring the Crimean war.
1t is as follows:
Take two and half pounds of alum
and dissolve it in ten gallons of boiling
water; then in a separate vessel dissolve
the same quantity of sugar OF lead In
ten gallons of water and mix the two
solutions. The cloth is now we'll
handled in this liquid until every part
of it is penetrated, then it is squeezed
and dried in the air or in warm apart
ment, then washed in cold water and
dried again, when it is fit for use.
If necessary the cloth may be dipped
in the liquid and dried twice before be-
ing washed. The liquid appears curdled
when the alum and lead solutions are
mixed together. This is the result of
double decomposition, the sulphate of
lead, which is an insoluble salt, being
formed. The sulphate of lead is taken
up in the pores of the cloth, and it is
unaffected by rains or moisture, and yet
it does not render the cloth air-tight.
Such cloth is also partly uninfammable.
A solu ton of alum itself will render
cloth, prepared as described, partially
waterproof, but it is not so good as the
sulphate of lead. Such clOth-cotton or
woolen-sheds rain like the feathers on
the back of duck. AS to cost, alum Is
three cents per pound, and sugar Of lead
about twenty cents per pound, and
doubtless each could be had for less in
quantities
Experience will tell the amount Of
liquor necessary for, say score of capes;
but any way, the process will be found
to be sufficiently inexpensive and eff
fectual-N. Y. Journal

1HE ARIZONA KICKER.
Some of the Ups and Downs Of western
Editorial Life

some of the Ups and Downs OF western
Editorial Life.
We extract the following from the
last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
HAD TO Do IT.-That gander-shanked
living skeleton who edits the mOrtgaged
sheet down on Blackjack avenue is out
with TRADE against US for shooting
Sioux Jim last week. He is seeking to
get up public feeling against rs, al
though he very we'll knows that we
were fully exonerated by the coronsr's
jury.
Sioux Jim. who was half breed. was
fighting drunk. He was looking for ,
victim when he met US on Apache ave-
nue.. He drew his knife with the purpose
of carving our anatomy to strings, but
before he could proceed We pulled our
gun and sent six red-hot bullets into
his carcass. He was the third man We
have had to kill this fall in defense Of
our own life, and as we have had to pay
all the burial expenses in each case no
one can claim that we have shot for fun.
1t cost US $50 cold cash to plant Jim in
decent shape, and no one would have
given SO for him when alive.
PERHAPS IT WAs.-LaSt week a num-
Der of gentlemen organized what they
called THE Debonaire Literary So
ciety," and secured a room over Plum's
grocery for their weekly place of meet
ing. There was good deal of chuck
ling and grinning around town when 1t
was learned that we had been DELHI
erately snubbed by the aforesaid society.
Many friends called to tender their SYM
pathies and advice, but we did not need
any consolation.
Where is that society to-day? Echo
answers: "Where?' We simply tele-
graphed to Omaha, Denver, Lincoln,
Virginia City and two or three other
towns that such a person, wanted for
DEMONSTRATING, barn-bprning or bigamyi
was here, and within four days the De-
bonaires were wearing bracelets. Per-
haps it was a good idea to snub us. Per-
haps some other society will try it on.
GIVEN IT UP.-With this issue of the
Kicker we cease the weather forecasts
which we have been publishing as fore
casted from our own observatory for the
last six weeks. While we have had
wonderful luck in hitting the weather
fog three and four days ahead, our local
subscribers have had no interest in it
and have discouraged our enterprise
This arises from the fact that no one
here cares a cast iron cent what the
weather is. If fair they go out and
shoot jackass rabbits and run horses.
If foul they gather in the bar-room and
drink whisky and play seven-up. The
least that concerns them is what the
weather is going to be on the morrow,
and we don't propose to educate them
up to feel anxious about it.

WE PLEAD GULTY.-We were called
upon the other evening to act as referee
for prize fight at the Arcade Athletic
rooms, and because we refused the honor
certain persons are observing that it
was because we felt ''stuck up" and
thought ourselves better than the gen.
eral run. We plead guilty to both insin-
uations. We are altogether too high up
in the scale to referee a prize fight,
and we feel ourselves as far above GER
tain men in this town as the eagle is
above the grasshopper.
And why not? What other newspaper
in this country has increased its circula-
tion two hundred per cent. in six months?
What other newspaper has a combina-
ton under its roof of grocery, a feed
store, butcher shop, bakery, a sad
dlery and a repository for the sale OF
wheel-barrows! People who take us for
a scrub haven't got their eyes open yet

SETTLED IN FULL.-The fifth breach
of promise suit brought against US in
the last eight months was settled out Of
court yesterday and all further proceed
ings discontinued. This suit was brought
by Miss Aramantha De Rives, daughter
Of the well known Judge De Rives, Of
Jackass Terrace.
We determined at first to fight this
suit to the bitter end, but it having come
to our knowledge that Mrs. De Rives
had overheard certain declarations of
ours, and that the fair plaintiff had pre-
served all our letters we deemed it a
matter of prudence and economy TO set
tie. AS the terms were not to be con-
sidered secret, we state them here. We
bilked the fair Aramantha because we
discovered that she had cork foot and
a bad case of catarrh. If we ever marry
we want wife who Is sound on her pins,
and we don't care to stumble over an
outfit to cure catarrh every time we pass
through the house.
While the plaintiff had the bulge on
us to certain extent, we had some
thing of bulge to Offset it. We knew
that her mother used to run a second
hand clothing store in Denver, and, by
telegraphing certain sheriff, we could
have had the judge returned to prison
to serve out five more years. We agreed
to pay $40 and keep quiet-S2O in trade
and s2Oin cash-snd the proposition was
accepted. This ends the case and leaves
all good friends, and we sincerely hope
that the dear girl will soon be better Of
her catarrh, and that her cork foot may
not stand in the way of another loving
her truly and ACKNOWLEDGMENT Free

QUEBEC, February 1.-THE willy old
fox, Sir John Macdonald, has scheme
to beat the annexationists. Knowing
that, if he waits for the regular election
in 1892, the progress Of the annexation
sentiment will overwhelm him, he has
decided to appeal to the country at once
on this question, knowing he can secure
an easy victory, under cover of which he
can retire from the government with fly
ing colors, and with the annexation party
bandaging very black eye. To furnish
an excuse for this, one of his adherents
will demand of the Liberal Quebec Gov
ernment to know what it proposes to do
about Ben Butterworth's annexation res
.olution in the United States Congress.

Application Denied.

New YORK, February 11.-Judge Bar
rett, of the Supreme Court, to-day
handed down an opinion, in which he
denies the application of the North River
Refining Company, the recently dis.
solved member of the Sugar Trust, for 8
stay of proceedings, pending an appeal
to General Terms. In the opinion he says
that an order staying proceedings upon
the judgment would not restore the cor.
'poration to life, nor would it absolve it's
officers from obedience to the injunction.
