had eaten a too liberal supply OF
deviled crabs during the previous
evening, and he had dreamed that
he was locked In one of the immense

Mother and Son.

My boy came back to me to-day
l had not seen for years.
The child who, when he went away,
I kissed in prayerful tears.
But, oh, the changes time has wrought;
My tender boy is dead.
For unto me the years have brought
A stalwart man instead,
A great, strong man with bearded face
And slightly furrowed brow,
Whose soft mamma" has given place
10 d~eep-voiced mother" now.
And so the child I watched above
l nevermore shall see.
The life l shielded with my love
Shall guard and shelter me.

A Touch of Nature.

The district messenger boy comes in for a vast amount of ridicule for his slowness and abuse for his shrewd obser- vations and ways, but he is a pretty good lad, after all, if the following hap pening in New York is any criterion: 'One day on Broadway" says an ob- server, "I heard boys voice ring out above the noisy roar of the vehicles, clear and distinct, saying, Hold on, blind mani stop still, blind manl wait till l get to youP Looking for the owner of the voice, I discovered a slender but agile messenger boy of 15 or 16 years, threading his way through mass of ve. hicles to spot just by the opposite curb, where gray haired man was standing as if riveted, with a look of mild despair on his face. It needed only glance to see that the poor man had sightless eyes; that he had become bewildered and was likely to be run over; that the quick wit ted messenger boy alone of all the vast crowd had seen the dilemma and had rushed in to the assistance of the unfor- tunate creature. AS the lad brought the blind man safely to the sidewalk could not help thinking that here was an ex- pression of that one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin."-Golden DzY5

NEVADA AND IRREGATEON

THE state of Nevada has been a regu- arstock subject of newspaper comment for a good many years. Frequent at tention has been called to the fact that sh9 has lost in wealth and population since her admission into the UnioE twenty-five years ago. It has been pleasantly remarked now and then that there never was anything of the state anyhow except the Comstock mine, and that with the decrease in the product of that wonderful vein, the commonwealth necessarily retrograded. The fiattering remark has often been indulged in that unless something was done for the state she would be obliged to return to the territorial condition. The consider ate suggestion has been made that she might be annexed to California as a county. The insinuating inquiry has been made as to how much longer she would be able to pay a governor and other state officers and members of the legislature. Now all this interest and solicitudeand wonderment have been manifested by outsiders.
 The Nevada people themselves have seemed serene and happy, and content. Tkey have not appeared to appreciate the fact that it wss necessary for them to do anything to save their state from bankruptcy and from retregression to he dependent condition Of a Territory They have not seemed to be harassed with the fear of becoming 9 mere coun ty of California. But now they appear to have caught glimpse of the situa- tion and have awakened to some sense of the necessity of doing something. They see that the Comstock mine is not equal to the task Of maxi 2 a great state. They conteu plate the vast ex- tent of arid plains within the beunia- ries of their commonwealth. They con sider that 1t needs only wat to be made highly productive. They see that irrigation will convert it from the desert to garden. They perceive that if they can turn water upon their arid wastes they can attract immiuration, and de velop intoa great State aud can find grateful r.lief from the commisserating comments and the patronizing sugges- tions of other and more fortunate com nonwealths. They have commenced to hold meetings to consider the subject of irrigation. They are beginning to ad- dress themselves to the question as te how they shall carry water on their des- ert lands. The problem may be diff cult one. But there are very few things that can baffie Anglo-Saxon energy. en- terprise and ingenuity. The desired Ob- ject will probably be achieved Then Nevada will begin to grow in wealth and population and will vindicate her right to place as State in the Union. Times.

The Slyness Of the Crawfish.

4 correspondent of The Forest and Stream writes that he recently observed a very cunning and ingenious trick of a crawfish tor crayfish) for catching flies
 Sitting on the bank of a muddy pond, or borrow pitt over the surface of which many small flies were swarming about, observed that the crawfish came to the surface near the waters edge, and, turning over on the side, the tail probably touching bottom, with claws and legs 'sprudling' about in the water, he assumed the exact semblance of dead creatures floating on the water. In a few seconds flies would alight on the ap- parently dead crawfish, and as soon as one got into the proper position there was a sudden and instantaneous flip, when fish and flies would disappear to- gether under the water. In few sec- onds more he would appear on the sur
 face and go through the same maneuver, with the same result. There were, per haps, two or three dozen of them in sight at the same time, and all .ndustri- ously engaged in the fly catching game"

 Charcoal is a great sweetener of the breath, and besides that it strengthens and whitens the teeth, removes the tartar, prevents tooth ache and gives the gum and lips an attractive color." About as much as can be placed on the point of 3 knife should be rubbed gently into the icterstices of the teeth on going to bed, to be rinsed out thoroughly in the morning. The objection to charcoal is its grittiness, and it must be reduced as nearly as possible to an impalpable powder. Its purifying qualities are in- valuable, and it is said if taken inward. y it will cure indigestion.

THE great railroad washouts in Cali fornia goes on. As fast as one break is repaired another bridge or section of track is washed away, and trains have been running wild since Christmas day. Business in this city has been discom- moded to a considerable extent by the non arrival of freight trains. Goods shipped to Tucson merchants several weeks ago have not arrived. The pay car has not. been able.to get here on time, and many railroad employees are unable pay their bills promptly, as they usually do. Cattle men are also suffering some on account of their inability to reach the California markets with their herds. All this, however, amounts only to tenn porary inconvenience, and everything will be running smoothly in a short time.

ARIZONA.

The year 1890 opens favorabiy for the
 commercial interests of our terntory
 The period of rash speculatiOns and m
 Hated values have long since departed
 from our midst, and to-day We stand or
 the same level, and command the samC
 attention, in commercial point of view as that of many an older and more popu lous state. Arizona has long labOreC under difficulties imaginary and real and a name has been coupled with that of our territory which has done much to retard immigration and caused us many years to successfully refute. But those days have happily gone by. The trials and tribulations that really did burden our territory have long since been dis pelled, and the name Arizona-a name formerly clouded with infamous de rision-is now mentioned as that of one of the brightest stars about to be added to the flag of America. In a country sit uated as We are,-a mineral country on the borders Of Mexico, with no railroad communication, harrassed by eavages, and likewise commanding a fair percen- tage of the lawless white element, such as all new mineral localities are "blessed' with, it is not to be wondered that our name received the tarnishment it has done. But those days are days of yore, period almost forgotten by the pio- neers in our midst today living testi- monials of hardships that were-hard- ships that are now Of the past.
 To-day there IS not an item in the catalogue of industry that can not be safely and proftably pursued in our midst. Mining, farming, stockraising. and unlimited facilities for horticulture, are some of the inducements here of fered for capital and toll, and he who cannot find his sphere in any one of the foregoing pursuits, can find it in manual labor at the most remunerative compcn- sation obtained in any part of the world.
 The record of the past year will de- monstrate the fact that Arizona, to-day. is as rich in mineral as she ever was. At no time has the outlook been bright CT. Besides mining, the stock-raising | interest is rapidly growing, and the ia nous State of California is to-day call | ing on us for supplies. The river valleys and those portions of the Territory con taining an immediate supply of water are a grand spectacle to behold, and fully demonstrate the fact that irriga- ton will make Arizona the agricultural wonder of the West. There is certainly nothing discouraging in the material out look of our territory.
 The CITIZEN desires that Tucson shall not be content with its present prosper ity. but make for our trade feeders in every direction. That is the way the commercial centers of older and pros porous communities have been made. The future of the territory is in the hands of its own people. If they pursue a broad, farseeing policy, they will reap a harvest beyond their realiza- tions.

At Col. Durr's Place.

It was learned yesterday from tf 0 Colonel himself, who was taught to ai- ways speak the truth by his good grand mother,t that since he moved his business from Meyer to Congress street, his bus mess had increased in volume from day to day. He now sells one car load of John Wleland's beer every three weeks. and more than car load of Anheussr- Bush beer. in the same length of time.
 Beer IS only one branch of the large business now carried on by Col. Durr, at his corner on Congress street.
 Swiss cheese is received in pOnderous cases direct from the old country, and his sales amount to over 700 pounds a month; also California cheese is hand led Tn large quantities, and the finest of Llmberger cheese is always kept on hand, though the sales are not enormous ly large.
 His cigars are all made specially for him and are sold at wholesale and retail
 THE wARUN DARUM BRAND is we'll known and has no superior for the price. The latest brand is the Tip pecanoe, and 1t IS equal to any cigar to be had in this market.
 Queen olives, the best ever offered in this market, are received direct from Spain, in huge casks.
 In the cellar is kept fine Sherry wIne. dozens of barrels, and everything that is better by being kept in cool place.
 Whiskey is received from not only all over the United States, but much direct from the old country, three or four of the best brands made in Hamburg. In one room alone, the reporter counted
 155 BARRELS OF wHIsKEY, and including wines and brandies, his present stock would not fall short of 300 barrels and kegs. Also a choice brand of mescal is handled for the benefit of those who like it.
 Besides, all the finest bitters known to mankind, are kept, many of them being imported. In fact, everything in the way of saloon supplies is kept, and noth- ing but the best quality is sold.
 IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT was found bacon, ham, lard, ,pickled pork, dried fish of all kinds, corned beef, tongue, pickled tongue, pigs feet, saur xraut and vinegar. crackers, tobacco, mustard, chow-chow, deviled ham, ham, berger eel, and every table delicacy. new was exhibited: a box of dried lax, one of the finest fish known, and found only in the waters of Norway.

THE F'ifty-frst congress will nvene agaln on Monday, when the active work of the session will begin. Judging from the rapid work done by Speaker Reed before the holiday recess, legislation will be put through without unneces- sary loss of time. Some important measures for the welfare of Arizona have already been introduced in the senate, and it is to be hoped that they will re- ceiye early consideration.
