Painted Diamonds.

There is one pawpbroker 10 Washington
who has lost all faith in human honesty.
Several months ago nicely dressed man
sntered his shop and displayed pair oi
diamond earrings upon which he desired
to secure loan. The stones had that pc
culiar bluish-white color so highly priced
among lovers Of diamonds, and the pawn
broker readily advanced $3.50 on them.
The stranger departed, and in due course
OF time the pawnbroker tried TO dispose OF
them. He exhibited TIE diamonds TO q
well-known dealer. who said II they would
stand test they we're easily worth 81, 500.
The stones were removed from their set.

Then they were shaken for about Eve min

From the beautiful blush .wLiM they had

FOR SALE.

To the highest bidder for cash, the sheriff will sell all property in Yavapai county, for taxes, if the subsidy bonds are issued.
 We admire the tenacity of the Maricopa people in the way they hold on to the Railroad subsidy pro- position, and we hope, they will get their road; but subsidies are danger ous animals" after once fed, they are never satisfied and often devour those who created them. If it takes the Yayapai subsidy to complete your North and South road, we will be found on our knees until our pants wear out, praying the road will never be built, and if 1t is, and an attempt is made to issue the bonds we will fight to defeat them until we are busted, for we had better be busted now than have our property slowly eaten up by the ''cancerous'' debt that will be heaped npon this county by people who care only for Self"

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

Board of Supervisors met Decem- Der 2nd, 1889, at ? o'clock, pursuant to adjournment. Present-S. P. Behan (chairman), and Morris Gold water, supervisors and the clerk.
 On motion, it was ordered that all prisoners, sentenced by justices of peace at Flagstaff or Williams, for periods of thirty days or less, shall be delivered to the deputy or under sheriff at Flagstaff, and shall be inn prisoned by him in the branch jail at Flagstaf.-Courier.
 Mr. Supervisors, you are a wise board, you will save the county many dollars in mileage, but you forgot that the branch jail at Flag staff is not fit for a respectable dog kennel, and at the present time the deputy sheriff and constables have to guard all prisoners arrested by them, from the time of arrest until they aro discharged, or landed safely in inc county jail at Prescott. You will have to either make an appro. priation for the repair of the magni- fcent structure you have so gener ously given us at Flagstaff or appro plate sufficient funds to hire guards to guard prisoners day and night For although we have here an able and efficient deputy sheriff he would soon be worn out if he was compelled to guard all prisoners that are con victed of minor offenses along tht A. & P. R. R. The principal part of his time would be occupied ir guarding the jail to keep the prison CTS from carrying it of. Try again gentlemen, you will get there by and by.

THE religious contention in Canada con-
tinues and looks ominous for Canadian
unity. If the bitterness of feeling now
manifest is not soon allayed we may look
for an open rupture between sections. and
possibly violent dissolution of existing
union. The protesting element that an
tagoniSes the Quebec bill, to pay nearly
half million of dollars in compensation to
the Jesuit societies for lands that reverted
70 the crown on the dissolution of the So
cieties by the Pope a hundred and fifteen
years ago, is especially outraged by the
provision that the bill shall be submitted
to the Pope for his approval, before it be-
comes a law. These antagonists insist that
the Dominion Parliament shall interpose
and disallow the bill, and the situation
puts the Dominion Ministry into very hot
water. Whatever policy it may settle
upon will be bitterly assailed by one side
or the other. 1t is, however, itself di-
yided house, and is liRely to suffer dissolu-
ton. The contention is rapidly develop
ing into bitter religious strife, in which
it is not improbable the entire Dominion
will become involved, with breaking up
into several distinct and antagonistic sec
tons. If this should come about the oppo-
nenis of annexation will have reason to
point with new pride to their warnings
that Canada is not desirable as part OF
the american Union.

THE value of sanitary science has been
demonstrated in the case of the barrack
forces of the English army. Since sani-
tsry laws have been enforced the death
rate in the Guards has fallen, in twenty
1--WE years, from 20 in 1000 to 81 In the
home army the rate has been reduced from
Il to 5. In the Indian army the former
rate of mortality was 60 in the 1000; it
has now fallen down TO a. This saving
has not only been in human life and the
decrease of human suffering, but il has re-
suited to Great Britain in the actual saw
ing of nearly Ss,5OO,000. When such
proofs as these are at hand of the practical
worth of the application of sanitary sci
enee, it is amazing to reflect that there are
not two towns or cities in the hundred
throughout the country where similar die
tates OF sanitary wisdom are respected.

shall they be paid per capita on the num-

stop TO the padding of the school census
rolls, and prevent such scandals as at
tached to the taking Of the school census

THE Seybert Commission to investigate
tie phenomena of modern spiritualism
node preliminary report in 1887 pro-
naancing the inquiry made TO that date to
have convinced every member of that body
that all the mediums who had been before
1t were frauds, and practised the most vul-
gar deeeits. The only man who so puz-
lied them that they could not detect his
tricks was an ordinary worker in modern
magic, who subsequently demonstrated to
the Commission how easily it had been de-
ceived. The final and full report of the
Commission may be expected this year. 1t
Is understood that it will confirm the pre-
liminary report, and unhesitatingly pro-
nounce the so-called phenomena most COM
monty cited in proof of the truth of
spiritualism gross fraud. In the Popular
Science Monthly Professor Joseph Jastrow
quotes from the experiences of the Sew
bert Commission, and cites many other
witnesses to sustain the view taken by that
body. The general view taken by all the
scientist investigators referred to is that
the deceit by the mediums is not one-half
SO astonishing as the amazing credulity of
the deceived. 1t is simply another illus
tration of the truth that the judgment that
IN business policies and the ordinary
affairs of life is keen, strong and clear
sighted, is likely oftener than not to prove
weak, narrow and short-sighted when the
affections and the sympathies are involved.
II Is this fact that gives all manner of
superstition such hold upon the race of
men.

THE postponement of the meeting of

is freely stated to be for the purpose Of
allowing Germany opportunity to come to
an understanding with England. To the
ordinary citizen, who has not been initi-

inaiic methods, this would appear to be
ground sufficient for withdrawal from the
s.roposed conference. If Germany and
England are to caucus together and fix F"

what comfort can the United States hope
