 An exchange remarks that the law providing for the removal by the Gov ernor of officers of counties, and also Territorial, had been in existence in Arizona for 20 years, at the time it was repealed March 10th, 16S7--but three years ago. Under it Governor Zulick removed tie Insane Asylum Commissioners. The law can be found in the compiled laws of Arizona, 1887, page 175, chapter 13. The law was approved Nov. 7th, 1866 and took ef- feet Jan. lst, 1867. Smith & Goodrich we beheye took the case Of the Cover nor when he sought to remove the asylum commissioners. The bill is nothing new to Arizona.
 Nor indeed in other localities of this confederacy. Of recent date Governor Francis, of Missouri, summarily re- moved Ed. Noland from the office of treasurer Of that State. The Pres- dent of the United State exercises the right to remove officials, Tn all cases, except where the constitution pro vides trials by impeachment.

In Westehester, Penn, there is a prosy Episcopal minister whose ser mons have a tendency to produce sleep, and in order to counteract a drowsy tendency during the tedium of gospel instruction, cards were in- troduced, to which the minister ob- jected; hence difficulty ensued be- cause of the gentleman of solemn mien who conducted the service, in order to break up the game, caused the removal of the back pews without consulting the yestry. The vestry kicked, consequently the pews were replaced at the expense of the rector who caused their removal, and he, therefore, kicked; hence a split in the congregation.

Sixty cities, in Kansas, on All Fools Day, April 1st, elected municipal of 6cers. The chief interest was the ex. ercise of suffrage by women. At Leavenworth they elected their ticket; 1; the reason of their success is attribu- table to the fact that husbands were necessarily engaged in domestic du- ties, washing dishes, cooking, baking and disciplinlng the children. At Emporia the women were worked to the highest pitch and were successful in electing one of the strong minded of their sex member of the school board, but beyond that the bucks scored a victory.

A TEACHER WINS.

The case of Mrs. c. E. Rembert, plaintiff, vs. School District No, l, of Yuma county, defendant, was tired before Judge Kibbey in the district court at Yuma on tho 25th ult., and resulted in judgment for Mrs. Rem- bert of seven hundred and fifty dol lars.
 The facts in this case are briefly as follows: Mrs. Rem bert, who IS now teaching in the public school in Tenn pc, was hired by the Yuma school board to teach the school term at Yuma, of ten months, for the year of 1888. She entered upon her dutIes as teacher and taught the school as prin- cipal, for about two months, when, without any reason given therefor, the board uneeremoniously removed her from the school, and refused to pay her for the unexpired term, though they pad her for tue actual time she taught. Mrs. Rembert declined to submit to such treatment, and desir- ing to have court decide whether teacher could be treated in such a manner, brought the suit which ter mlnated Tn her favor. Mrs. Rembert. since the successful termination of her suit against the school district, is about entering suit agalnst the trus- tees for exemplary damages Tor as- sault upon her character as teacher.
 We credit the foregoing to the Tem- pc News of March 29th.

EECUNDiTY OF FISH.
What Would Happen IL All the Eggs O
the Cod M.turedS

What Would Happen IL All the Eggs or
the Cod M~tured?
Fish that take much care of their
offspring naturally don't need to pro-
duce eggs in the same reckless album
dance as those dissipated kinds that
leave their spawn exposed on the bare
sandy bottom at the mercy of every
conner who chooses to take bite at it.
They can afford to lay a smaller mum Der,
and to make each individual egg much
larger and richer in proportion than
their rivals. This plan, of course, ena-
bles the young to begin life far better
provided with muscles and fins than the
tiny little fry which come out of the
eggs of the improvident species.
For example, the Goldfish lays 9, 900, 600
odd eggs; but anybody who has ever
eaten fried Gods roe must needs have
noticed that each individual ovum was
SO very small as to be almost indistin-
guishable to the naked eye. Thousands
of these infinitesimal specks are de-
voured before they hatch out by pre-
daceous fish: thousands more of the
young fry are swallowed alive during
their helpless infancy by the enemies
of their species. Imagine the very
fractional amount of pasontal affection
which each of the 5000, 900 must needs
put up with.
On the other hand there Is a pater-
nally-minded group of catfish known as
the genus Arsus, of Ceylon, Australia
and other tropical parts, the males of
which carry about the ova loose in their
mouths, or rather in an enlargement of
the pharynx, somewhat resem bling the
pelican's pouch; and the spouses of
these very devoted sires lay accordingly
only very few ova, all told. but each al
most as big as \ hedge-sparrow's egg-a
wonderful contrast to the tiny mites of
the Goldfish. To put 1t briefly, the greater
the amount of protection afforded the
eggs, the smaller the number and the
larger the size. And conversely, the
larger the size of the egg to start with,
the better fitted to begin the battle of
life is the young fish when first turned
out on cold world upon his own re-
sources.
This is a general law, indeed, that
runs through all nature, from London
slums to the deep sea. Wasteful species
produce many young, and take but little
care OF them when once produced
Economical species produce very few
young, but start each individual we'll
equipped for its place in life. and look
after them closely till they can take
care OF themselves in the struggle for
existence. And on the average, how
ever many or however few the offspring
to start with, just enough to attain
maturity In the long run replace
their parents in the next generation
Were it otherwise, the sea would soon
become one solid mass OF herring, cod
and mackerel.-Cornhill Magazine.

fort and Happiness.
There was story in the newspapers
Che other day about Massachusetts
minister who resigned his charge be-
cause some one had given his parish a
fine house and his parishioners wanted
him to live in it His salary was too
small, he said, to admit of his living in
a big house, and he would not do it. He
was even deaf to the proposal that he
should share the proposed tenement
with the sewing societies and clubs of
his church, and when the matter came
to a serious issue, be relinquished his
charge and sought new field of useful
ness. The situation was an amusing
instance of the embarrassment of riches.
Let no one to whom restricted quarters
may have grown irksome. and who
.covets larger Dimensions of shelter, be
too hasty in deciding that the minister
was wrong. Did you ever see the house
that Hawthorne lived N at Lenox? Did
you ever see Emersons house ct Con-
cord? They are good houses for Ameri-
cans to know and remember. They per-
mitted thought
A big house is one of the greediest
cormorants which can light upon a little
income. Backs may go threadbare and
stomachs may worry along on ,ndifer-
ent filings, but house Will have things,
though it's occupants go without It is
rarely complete, and constantly tempts
the imagination to flights in bricx and
dreams in lath and plaster. 1t develops

ON coal it has to be heated in winter;
and if it is rural or suburban, the grass
about it must be cut even though funer-
ais in the family have to be put off for
the moving. If the tenants are not rich
enough to hire people to keep their house
clean they must do it themselves, for
there is no excuse that will pass among
housekeepers for dirty house The

in big house may be a luxury, provided
that one has full set of money and an

on Inside Manipulations.


on Inside Manipulations.
1--WE deal in eggs butter and lard,
and I am an expert in testing and grad
ing all three" said a merchant to
Philadelphia Inquirer reporter There
is much fraud in the butter business
We print great deal of tub butter
The contents of five or ten tubs are
dumped out on big table. The out
side has become strong and dirty. This
we scrape off and sell to the fancy cake
bakers at from five to eleven cents a
pound, according to its condition. The
balance is reworked, resulted, made into
pound prints and sold as the best print
butter.
''Quite quantity of what is known as
mill or paddle worked butter comes
from the West Small farmers there,
who have no ice, get ten or fifteen
pounds of utter on hand in rolls, and
after awhile it becomes strong. There
are firms in Chicago that have men out
all the time buying up this rancid but
ter 1t is put into a machine some thing
like an old-fashioned paint mill and
ground up after which it is worked,
colored with Danish butter coloring,
made into prints and sold as fresh
creamery butter. There Is not dairy
man in the State of PENNSYLVANIA
that does not use butter coloring of some
sort We sell thousands of pounds of
the coloring every year. Some large
dairies buy it by the barrel
"a great many farmers in Bucks
and Chester Counties buy ten. fifteen
and some of them as high as one hun
dred tubs of our old strong butter. for
which they pay about fifteen cents.
They take it home, rework and resalt it,
mix in fresh butter in the proportion of
about one-third, color it, make it into
prints and sell it in the markets for
thirty five cents a pound, doubling their
money by the transaction. Farmers
frequently come to US on Friday night
buy tub butter at twenty-five cents
pound print it up and sell it the next
day for dairy butter at thirty-five cents
There is not much adulteration in
lard but one pound of the country ar
ticle is worth two of the refined, from
which all of the oil has been extracted
You can distinguish between the two by
a simple test. n warm weather coun-
try lard will become soft and run to oil.
That which has been refined always re-
mains hard"

CULTivATlNG THOUGHT.

How to Become Superior to Adverse Cir
cumSt.nces and Hardship.
1t has been said that it requires more
art to be good listener than a CONVEX
sationalist What an incentive to elo-
quence is an attentive listenerl What
TT umphs have come before the foot
lights through an enthusiastic audiences!
What symphonic poems have been sung
upon instruments whose swaying bows
were guided by sympathetic, silent
listeners!
How beautiful. indeed, Is thought!
However hard and mean ones toll,
fancies can rise, such as might have had
their birth midst woods and flowers
How many brilliant writer's have been
utter failures as takers; and, alas! how
many takers would have been con-
sidered wise, but for the expos. their
conversatio on makes! Men can not all
be authors, but they can be thinkers.
On the street. in the car, we can pursue
our silent thought till time and space
become oblivion-tilL, as Lowell has
said:
What we long for. that are
For ons trRnscendent moment;
Until the Present, poor and Dare,
Can make it's sneerng comment"
Ever superior to adverse eircum-
stances. oblivious to pain and hardship,
can we become by cultivatng thought.
We all know how subtle is It's influence,
though silent worker. The sudden
impulse to speak OF previously forgotten
subjects has often been traced to the ef-
feet of some contiguous mind. The
preszge OF some event is often fels by
persons given to ''presentimantR"
1t is only through persistent untir-
ing thought that grand results are born.
ALI are prone to look upon inventions
as spon taneous creations; but there is
no class Of men 30 absorbed In one idea
as Misunderstanding every thing and
every body subservient to their moods,
till, at last the result is given to the
wondering world and the inventor
again plunges into seclusion, and the
world and its surprise are lost to him as
he thinks out another so-called dis
covery." Then, ia the literary world
there have been many inspirations of the
moment but earnest deep thought has
preceded, and, at least, Indirectly
brought the great production.
The supremacy Of the mind has be-
come an absorbing movement toward
trea tment of disease. And every con-
scientious physician knows how great
is the subsection of the body to the
mind. Through our thoughts we make
for ourselves q sphere from which
emanates unconscioualy power for
good or evil.
s'Life's more than breath and the quick
round OF blood.
I'VE live in thoughts, not breathe He
most lives VIZ thinks most-lives in ono
hour NOR than la wears do some"
Then let US think, then speak; think,
then act; and lie will round oitsef to
higher meanings-nobler endsl-N. Y.
