Reading that Leads to Evil Results.

Another provocative to immoral conversation in our modern life is the erotic literature of the day, and it's promiscuous rcllation, both in the form of cheap novels and in the col umns of the newspapers; the details of divorce trials, the publicity given to lives of shame and crime, etc. Now, the reader of immoral books is never a person of moral practice Unwhole- some breeding over unwholesome read ing brings sin; much more so conver- sation pertaining to it. It is said that to the pure all things are pure; but, unfortunately, large part of society Is not pure, and the ease with which the sexes now approach each other makes immoral reading particularly dangerous. "What are you now read ing?" seems very innocent question, but its answer may be full of suggest i've shrugs and glances, of meanings half expressed and wholly understood. Undoubtedly the abolition of duelling has something to do with immoral conversation between the sexes. In countries and times when men were prompt to punish with pistol shot, or the swords point, an improper glance or lascivious innuendo, there was more ceremony towards women, and certainly more visible respect. For there are, and always have been, a class of men amenable to nothing but personal physical punishment; and it is precisely this class who con sider woman's folly, weakness or affection their legitimate prey The pistol shot is by no means advocated, nor, indeed, is there any need to advO- cate it; many times in every year we are reminded that, in spite of it's ille- gality, it is looked upon as the only sufficient redress for certain wrongs Mrs. Amelia E. Barr in North Ameri- can Review for April.

lllstting Lands.

J. A. Rankin, the special agent for the Interior Department, is engaged in the allotment of land to the Papago Indians on the San Xavier reservation. From the census taken he finds there are 275 Papagos at San Xavier. to whom he will in all probability allot land. Under the law heads of fami- lies are entitled to 160 acres; those over IS, 80 acres, and those under Is, 40 acres.
 As the area of agricultural land on the San Xavier reservation is limited it is likely the allotments will have to be less than the amount prescribed by law; but the query arises, what is to become of the several thousand Papa gos who are off the reservation, and for whom there IS no agricultural land, and are scattered in little bands throughout western Pima county and northern Sonora.
 When Colonel Rankin completes his business here he will go down to Sacaton agency and look over the ground and determine as to the pro- priety of alloting lands to the Mari copa and Pima Indians.-Star.

For some time past Supt Behan had suspected that an attempted escape would be made from the Territorial prison, in consequence of which he and Assistant Supt. Hartlee have both kept a close watch at night. Last Saturday night MT. Behan was satisfied that he had located the cells from which the es- cape was intended to be made, and upon examination he and Mr. Harllee found that the iron work between cell IS and 5 had been cut and the bolt of the cell door was sawed through, which would have given the inmates of the cell clear road to the yard, but not to freedom. The men, eight Tn number, were removed to other quarters and the attempted es- cape IS meeting with thorough nvesti- galion. The vg lance and energy of the officers prevented a serious outbreak and unqueslionably loss of life. Yuma Sen tinel.

On Sunday morning last a large portion of Flagstaff was destroyed by fire. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. This is the fourth or fifth time that Flag staff has been visited by destructive fires. It would be a good scheme for the citizens of that town to ornament one of their pines with the incendiary if they can catch him.

The Prescott Courier makes the fol- lowing sensible suggestion to the Yava- pal county board of supervisors. Any board in the Territory--except possibly the Cochise county board-would do we'll to consider the suggestion. The Courier says: "In view of tLe fact that taxes are high and the county consider ably in hoo, would it not be we'll for the board of supervisors to treot others as they treat wood choppers and printers, make them bid for furnishing supplies of all kinds, repairing roads, etc? Try It, gentlemen, and see if you cannot save taxpayers little."

Wonder what has become of Hon. C.. h. Daily? His friends here haven't heard from or of him since he went to ranch, near Florence, and grave fears are entertained that he has planted him self instead of fig tree and is growing head downward, like some persons in Dante's Inferno. Or, it is possible that he has eaten of some fruit of his own raising.

ANOTHER LARGE FIND.

Last week when the gold excite ment was at fever heat, and wagon loads were leaving for the gold field, Fletcher Fairchild, Robt. Johnson, and George Rogers were among the number that went in search of the hidden treasures. They returned on Tuesday evening full of hope, and with countenances radiant with bright prospects at their new discoveries. They located five claims in all, four of which they believe to be silver and one gold. They brought specimens which they will have assayed at once. They brought a specimen of ruby sil- yer which they think will run at the very least $500 to the ton. Their lead is from four to ten inches in width, and the croppings from four to ten feet, and extends up and down in a T ,ck for a number of feet. Their dis covery is down in the canon about seven miles. They express no doubts that the canon contains large quanti- ties of mineral. Rogers and Johnson are both experienced miners and think there is no doubt but that mineral is there in abundance.
 Later-Since writing the above we learn that the returns from the Den yer assay has been received, and the result we learn is favorable.-Flagstaf' Democrat.

The investigations which are pro gressing at present in Chicago and New York city, into alleged brutality in both army and navy are likely to be of imperfect utility. They will serve to attract attention to the two services for brief period to worry the officers who are justly held up to public reproduction for still brieier time, and in the end bring to every subaltern and enlisted man who has had the temerity to testify against his superiors in rank, condign punish ment. Not punishment such as one would naturally imagine-the blow, the curse, and like indignities-but such punishment as can only be in ficted upon an inferior by his superiors in rank where corporal punishment or retaliation for indignity is forbid den punishment that no one who has never been in military service can even for an instant conceive. Haz- ing, it is called; extra duty, menial services, just without the pale of the proscrihing law, and which refusal to do would imperil the liberty of the soldier for a term of years, that is, if a life under the flag of the United States service can be looked upon as one of liberty. Most of our military and naval officers are apparently bet ter qualified to die of delirium tremens and cancer than cannon.

ity, and imperfect appreciation of their inestimable services to the public, the grammatical ability of the members of our late legislature, as evinced in the wording Of numerous acts passed during the session, not one of which, he asserts. will stand as a flawless ex- ample of literary skill. But let us be just and discriminating. It must be admitted that the members of our legislatures are usually trifle more picturesque than literary in their ap- pearance; but in body which con tained such a distinguished mem Der as a jndge of the supreme court, d modicum of literary skill must have exi-ted. To look at the mass of them, however, one would not have believed that they could spell "cow" without the usual k of the beginner, But they could; they were not such idiots as they looked. Our beloved governor found this fact out before he had fin ished parcelling out the spells, and it grieved him nightly. They knew that promise was not the same thing as d performance, and to the anguish and humiliation of the executive, there was no miraculous manifesto tion of confidence in his promises; the swag had to be delivered. l sub init that this is an evidence of intel lectual development, which will do much to comfort and sustain us in the absence of that other prerequisite for citizenship-so insisted upon by Judge Sloan-a speaking acquaint- ance with the English language.
 By the way, that decision of the Supreme Court of Arizona puts our governor, upon what logicians call the horns of dilemma The declaration that laws passed after the sixty day limit are legal, by implication declares that all the laws which were so dilig- ently yawped as having precarious legality are once more impregnably enthroned upon the statute books; that is, until some other occasion arises when they may be attacked. If this decision be law-and 1t must be or it would not have been promulgated by such distinguished jurists-then the governor violated one of those laws, by deliberately ignoring the constitu- tional convention act. But the pen alty of official misdoing in this case will be escaped by what is legally known as "technicality." Do you know what that is, good reader? If you wish to learn, a shining example for study may be found in the decision of our Supreme Court recently delivered, wherein the English language is in- terpreted in terms of technicality. The "sixty days" of the statute are conveniently extended to cover such time as is both convenient and neces- sary for the purposes of the "technic- ality;" much as mOlasses is poured upon a piece of bread and permitted to spread by gravitation until snffi- cient surface is covered. Now what is the "technicality which the Court has so learnedly elucidated? Is it the law? the intent, or the wording? or is it the judges? I incline to the latter opinion.
 It is easily seen that the law ex- presses with precision, the intent of the framers; while the opinion of the court merely shows the expediency of their acts; the adjustment of an end to present needs; the benefit of which to the "outs'' is unquestioned.
