A Financial Transaction.

\ young man who is employed in
The office of leading local architect
vas greatly chagrined TO discover,
when he reached home the other
night, that the conductor of an Indi-
ana avenue car had fOisted upon him
half dollar In which there was plug
half as large as the coin itself. He was
primarily disguised at being made the
victim of such palpable fraud, and
he declared his intention of handing ii
back to the offending conductor, if
possible. Accordingly he timed the
mans car and boarded it on the fol-
lowing morning. That night he re-
turned home and proudly boosted that
his ruse had been successful and that
he had handed back the spurious half
whence it came. In proof of this he
Inhibited the change, and among it he
was panied to discover a plugged
nickel which could not have deceived
I blind man. He resolved to give this
back to the same conductor, and the
next time he boarded his car he so ar
ranged the nickel in his fingers that the
plug would not be conspicuous when
he handed it over. Just as the con-
,luctor approached him, the man sit
ting at his left said: Excuse me, sir,
out l see you have a nickel there;
lave dime, and if you will give me
your nickel l will pay both fares" As
there was no visible way out of it, the
young man handed the plugged nickel
in silence, but he went out on the
front platform and froze during the
rest of the trip, lest the stranger
should discover the plug.-Chicago

The Pan-American Congress.

The notion of the solidarity of
America is one which has but recently
come into consciousness among the
people of the United States, such has
been the force Of race and religious
prejudices. But, from the moment of
its first appearance, that thought has
been borne in upon us with rapidly in
creasing power, until it bids fair to
create a sentiment and even a passion
of Pan-Americanism, which cannot
fail to have the largest and most bene-
ficient effects. 1t is, of course, natural,
and it is proper as well, that the first
discussion Of our relations with our
southern neighbors should have refer
ence to trade, moneys, and the means
of INSTRUMENTATION But our Pan
American propaganda should aim
chiefly at social and moral affiliations,
and should be pursued in every way
which will tend to bring the people
concerned to cordial and unselfish
interest in each others welfare and in
the harmony and prosperity of all the
Americas. The sentiment of Pan
Americanism that has appeared of late
In q manner which, despite the inter-
ested efforts of subsidy seekers and
cheap political jobbers, is SO truly
striking and so prophetic OF good,
could not fail to derive an immense
impulse from a proper commemora-
ton of the great occasion of 1892

A WASHINGTON telegram Of the 18th
instant says that Senator DAVIS does
not take very kindly 10 the idea suggest
ed in the Arizona memorial that Geron
limo and his Apache band be sent to
Massachusetts,. He says the climate is
too harsh for them. Chairman Perkins
Of the house committee on Indians
affairs, is authority for the statement
that the joint resolution which has pas
sed the senate favoring the removal Of
these Indians to Fort Sill, will pass the
house. He says the resolution will find
no favor in his committee! land he will
never consent to remove these Indians
to any point west of the Mississippi. He
thinks they should be kept where they
are or ..sent to North Carolina. QTherr
are also protests against the removal of
Indians to Fort Sill from the Mexican
Minister, who has been in CORES
pondence with Secretary Blaine on the
subject, and who says the people of the
border states Of Mexico were very ap-
prehensive that if the Indians were
brought SO near their old haunts they
will again cross the border and give
much trouble there.
Two years since the republican party
wasted considerable energy in looking
for an available candidate for congress,
and il was at the twelfth hour before
any one could be found to accept it.
This year however, the outlook is de-
cidedly different, for If reports be true
half dozen candidates are already to
the fore. This is an encouraging sign
and bodies we'll for party success in the
future. Two years ago the outlook was
less bright that to-day and political
racers for poor track, refused to leave
their stalls; but times have changed
since then, the republican party has
resumed its old time ascendency, the
track is once more in order, confidence
has again been restored and congress
ional timber is found growing in every
neck OF woods. This augurs well
for the next campaign. Let the can
didate for congress be carefully and ju-
| diciously chosen, and success will be in
waiting.

THE APACHEs REMOVAL.

The religious papers of the east as
rule fail to see good in the white people
of Arizona when the interests of the In
dians are concerned, consequently the
following from the Christian Union,
published in New York, on this subject,
is really refreshing.
The plan for the removal of the Apa-
che prisoners from Mount Vernon Bar
racks, Ala, to Fort Sill, Indian Terrific
~, has the Endorsement OF the President,
the Secretary Of War, and General
Crook, but some strong arguments IN
opposition have been made in the course
of the hearing before the House Indian
Committee. That some change is abso-
lutely necessary to preserve the health
of the Apaches and deliver them from
their idle, purposeless life is beyond
question. But there are serious objec-
tons to their return to the West, and
General Miles position appears to us
unanswerable. These Apaches," he
says, "are now east of the Mississippi,
disarmed and dismounted. They can
be as readily given occupation and civil
lized east of the Mississippi as west of
it; and why put the most vicious band
of savages in semi-civilized or semi-sa-
wage tribes there now?" Instead of in
curing "the risks of escape and Of mala-
rial disease" at Fort Sill. General Miles
believes that these IHdians might be
more advantageously removed to the
mountains of North Carolina, near the
Cherokees. General Miles is sustained
by Governor Wolfiey. of Arizona, whose
protests against the return Of the Apa-
ches to the West have been supported by
memorials, resolutions, and articles from
the newspapers Of the Territories. If
arabic land can be secured in q salts
factorysspart of North Carolina, there
seems to be no serious objection to the
establishment of the Indians there, il
they are really peacefully disposed, and
if not they certainly ought not to be sent
West again.

The settlers of this valley who have
had occasion to transact business with
the land Office in Tucson, are una nimous
in their praise OF the courteous treat
ment extended them and the prompt
ness with which their business is trans
acted. The new land officers found a
vast accumulation OF work on their
hands, much OF which was of a very

all this, in addition to current business,

IT is said that Arizona has history
that has never been written except by
the unique hieroglyphics that have
adorned the walls OF its grandest of can
yons for centuries, the empty irrigating
canals that were made before Columbus
knew the earth; the broken pottery
speckles its hills and valleys, all Of which
bear evidence that races of man had
lived, matured and died-and lived, ma.
tured and died again-centuries before
the Europeans saw this continent. How
many thousands of years there were be-
tween the cliff jewellers and the men who
built the canals, nobody knows. Among
the ruins first discovered by the Spanish
invaders three hundred and sixty years
ago, buildings were found that were
four stories high with walls six feet

The eagerness with which she con-
scented to this proposition made me
fear that poetry was not exactly my

served. The grief of my boyhood was

viii Carieton's First Poem.

What may really be called my first
poetic effort was written at 10 years Of
age, and was a letter in rhyme My
older sister was at boarding school !;
she had written for some of the papers
and magazines, both in prose and
poetry, and l thought l would show
her that she had not carried away
with her all the affiatus of the family.
l heard of a neighboring young man
who could write letters in rhyme, and
so I thought l would undertake the
same feat. did up everything at the
farm and in the vicinity in choice dog
gerel, and mailed it to her. A precious
young goose she must have thought
me. I represented her favorite horse
as about to die of melancholy, because
she was not there to ride him; told
her the trees and flowers were all per-
ishing because she was not present to
smile upon them, and killed off two
very worthy and healthy neighbors
because their names happened to
rhyme with some word of mortuary
character. The whole letter was wild
ly sepulchral in its nature, and half
amused and half scared the young
lady. / remember that it closed with
these pathetic lines:

not strange that Reavis can mislead
lawyers, and secure their services by
promises of principalities in the way of
contingent fees, backed up by unblush-
ing lies as to bis worthless papers.
1t is astonishing that the name of
Luther HOrriscn, Assistant Commission
er of the General Land office under the
the Arthur administration, should be
associated with the Reavis counsel on
the petition presented to the Court of
Claims. The fact that Luther Horri-
son will associate himself with Reavje.
shows that legal fodder must be short
in the crib of the ex- land official.

ii is In very bad form for a
man to associate himself with a person

GOSSIP Or HE ATHLETIC CLUBS.

is the thing TO set it right. Not all the

eventually Danish every dyspeptic aud
bilious symptom. Sick headache, nerv-
BUSINESS, s~aliowness OF the complexion, fur

undesirable and disagreeable sensations
caused by indigestion. are too often per-
petuated by injudicious dosing. An i'm

step the use OF this standard tonic alterna
