iected to in the St. VIncent's Marin
 County Asylum, which failed be- cause he had not the courage to ex-
 pose the true condition of that or
 phanage, under the control and management of Roman priests; 1t suggests the necessity of an inves- tikation into the condition of girls imprisoned in the Magdalen Asy- lum of San Francisco, it suggests the necessity, at least the propriety, of ascertaining what percentage of children die who are sent to St. Jo- seph's Lying-in-Hospital in the city of San Francisco.
 It makes it proper for the legis- lature of California to appoint board of commissioners of charity, whose duty it shall be to investi gate all institutions under charge of religious or secular societies. It should be the duty of that commis sion to investigate all penal institu tions, and especially the Industrial School, where boys are employed as the menial servants of it's officers where they are educated to crime; where they practice unspeakable vices where they are brought up in ignorance and idleness. and only fitted for the penitentiary.
 Itwould be an interesting table of figures that would show how much money is annually drawn from the State treasury for Catholic chari- ties, and to know how it is expend- ed by the priests and politicians who have all charitable institutions in charge. We should like to know how many girls are in the San Fran cisco Nagdalen Asylum, for what offences they were incarcerated, for what terms they have served, how they are fed, how punished and how employed.
 If the government of King Hum bert of Italy shall have the courage to punish those who have been guil- ty of cruelty in South Italian nun neries that were closed to the pub lie. why may not the legislature of California have the courage to au- thorize a complete investigation of all the prisons and hospitals where boys and girls are subjected to the management of Roman Catholic priests and nuns?

A Mine Ot BeeSWaX.

Beeswax is an article of com- merce which it is generally sup posed is furnished only by the "busy bee," but one of our Oregon exchanges gives the following ac- count of a beeswax mine in that country: No one has ever been able to give an authentic account of how such enormous quantities of bees wax came to be deposited on the bench near Nehalem. Specimens are found along the beach in vari- ous places, but 1t is most plentiful near the mouth of the Nehalem. As the sea shifts the bars, pieces of it are washed ashore, and large quantities are found by blowing in some of the low land near the beach. There are spots where the sea has never reached in the memory of the oldest settlers, and which are covered with a good-sized growth spruce, where deposits, of wax may be found by digging. Speci- mems the wax may be found at the house of any settler on the beach, and to all appearances it is genuine beeswax. Several tons have been unearthed, and one man shipped a large amount to San Francisco once, for which he received $500. Tn quality it is as good as any in the market, and has retained its familiar odor through all its rough usage and age. It is supposed by some, and so stated, that it came from a wreck of a Spanish vessel over a century ago. Others say 1t came from a wrecked Chinese junk. These traditions Tn regard to the wrecks come from the Indians and are not reliable. It is most proba- ble that this beeswax is really "lost treasure" which people are digging for on the Nehalem.-Mining and Scientific Press.

 Girls is olways fooling feller. She can't lick yer, so she gets the best of yer that way.
 If yer don't do what a girl tells yer, she says yer horrid. I drather be horrid than be soft. If you do what a girl tells you, you will do all sorts of foolish things.
 Girls can be good in school every day if they feel like it. I shud think they would git tired and have to do sumthing wonse in a while :; I know a feller does. Girls say fel- lers acts orfull, but when a girl gifts a-going 1t she acts orfer than any feller durst. They don't care for nothing.
 If girl wants feller to carry her books home, she ain't satisfied unless she gifts the same fellcr the other girls want, wether she likes him or not.
 Girls is grate on having secrets. I mean telling secrets. They make a secret out of nuthing at all, and then tell it round to all the other girls, orfull quiet, just as if it was sumthing dreadful,
 Girls olways git their joggerfry lessons better than a feller, but if they are going anywhere they are sure to git lost.
 If two fellers has a fte, the girls all go for the teller that licks, no matter whether he is good for any thing else or not.
 If girl don't feel like doing a thing, you can't make her, no mat ter whether she had orter or not. If she won't, she won't, and she gifts out of it somehow. That is all I kno5tDout girls this time.

You can never know whether you are really willing to work for Christ by simple questioning your heart. Do something, do every thing, for His sake-out of love for Him. Let daily domestic duty be thus consecrated. It is not by doing this or that particular thing that we serve Christ so much as by do- ing all in the name of Christi Chas. Manly.

Murder and Suicide.

A shocking double tragedy oc- cured at St. Charles hotel, over Mer- rick's store, corher of El Paso and Overland streets at about 3 80 this morning. Although the shots were heard about the hour named noth- ing more was known of the matter until aboutnoon, when the room oc- cupied by the couple was opened and man and woman were found in bed with bullet hole through the head of each.
 The couple arrived in this city some three days ago and registered at the St. Charles as George Blanc and wife, Silver City, N. M."
 It is unnecessary to state that Blanc was not the true name of the man. He is Frenchman by birth, a miner by occupation, and his pa rents are said to reside in Cooney N. NJ. We could not learn the pro- per name of the deceased, but he formerly resided at Carlisle, more recently at Silver City, N. M.
 The woman was also of French parentage, and is said to have been for some years a public character, but marriedaher slayer about 1887 and reformed.
 The man was accosted on the street two or three days since by an old acquaintance, and asked what he was doing, to which he replied nothing" and walked away as if anxious to avoid the acquaintance.
 The fatal shots were doubtless fired by the man, and revolver of small calibre lay by his side. The woman was apparently asleep when killed by a bullet entering the fore head, and the man was shot through the temples. The woman's hands were folded on her heart as if she was perfectly composed and so in- simultaneously killed as not to dis turb her composure, while the mans pistol had simply fell by his side after the last fatal shot was fired, while his other hand rested upon his side.
 As soon as discovered the bodies were removed 10 Dolan's undertak- ing establishment, where they were dressed, and where an inquest will be held on them this afternoon El Paso Herald.

Worth Investigation.

C. N. Thomas, says the Tomb stone Prospector, brings the news from Mammoth that the recent heavy freshets in that section wash ed the soil out in places thirty feet deep along the river bottom. The exposed area at the bottom of the wash in many places brought to light evidences of an ancient civil ization. The trunks of huge trees which had been cut with stone axts were to be seen in many places while the stone implements and old pottery are to be seen on all sides. Bones of human beings of enor- nous size have been brought to light, leaving no doubt but that a race of extinct beings at one time occupied the section of country this side of Mammoth camp. It would be the proper thing for some scien- tifc society to take hold of an ex- ploration of this new development before the mild winter rains shall have filled this excavated area again.

People talk of getting over" a great sorrow-passing it by, thrust ing it into oblivion. No one ever does that; at least, no nature which can be touched by the feeling of grief. The only way is to pass through the ocean of affliction sol emnly, with humanity and faith. as the Israelites passed through the sea. Then its very waves of misery will divide and become to us wall on the right side and on the left, until the gulf narrows before US and we land safe on the opposite shore.

Mclaughlin and Walters, the two men arrested in Juares about a year ago for the murder of a Mexi- can woman, were released from jail yesterday morning. They were tried in the Mexican court and found guilty in spite of their assertions of innocence. Walters was sen- fenced to be shot and Mclaughlin to ten years in jail. The case was appealed to the supreme court at Chihuahua, and nothing heard, till yesterday, when the doors of the prisoners were thrown open and they were told to depart. No req son was assigned for their release, but 1t is fair to presume that the supreme court took a favorable view of their case. Walters was so weak after his discharge that he could scarce speak, and at times spoke ir- rationally. Of course he was over joyed at his release, and was glad to be on American soil once more. -El Paso Times.

The Period of the "LaSt Man."

The fate of the last man in the
 world, which has always been a sub ject for speculation, is more inn
 minent than is usually realized, ac-
 cording to the computations of an
 essayist before the British Associa-
 ton. With careful and elaborate
 statistical estimate of the possibili-
 ties of expansion, it is concluded
 that the world will be fully inhabit- ed in about 1S2 years. The popu-
 lation of the world for the present year is estimated at 1 1,46S, 100000,
 dwelling upon 46.35O,OO0 square
 miles of territory. Europe contains
 population of 36O,2OO,OO0; Asia, S50,000,O00; Africa, 127,OOO,O00; Australia, 4,73O,OOO: North Ameri- ca, S2,250,0O0; South America, 36,- 500,000. Supposing that these peo- pies increase at the present rate of
 s per cent. in every decade, and supposing there are no extraordi- nary improvements in agriculture, the population of the world in the year 2072 will be 5,994,000,O00. There will then be no room any, where for the expansion of the hu- man race and no food for its sus- tenance. The fearful thought was suggested that the baby born this year may live to see the birth of a grandchild or great grandchild in 1891, who in turn may live to wit ness the birth, in 2073, of one of his descendants fated to endure either starvation or a diet of grass. Even the most imaginative novel writer who has practice in looking backwards and prophesying for ward may be appalled, at the idea of disaster so imminent. Even the most elaborate system of political economy would be useless, applied to a race in a starving condition, and all ethics of brotherhood would probably fail in the direful emer- gency. The Hast man" Of only two hundred years ahead loses all the picturesqueness which a more remote future would bestow. Sev- eral comforting thoughts, however, may tighten the weight of statistics. Man has been increasing upon the earth for very long time without inconvenient crowding. If there are no devastations of wars in the future to cut off the race, there may new fields of habitation. Who can fail to think of Africa in this emer- gency? Before the last man walks the deserted streets of starved-to- death London, or reviews a melan- choly world from the top of the Washington Monument, the tropics will be inhabited by a civilized race in future more than 182 years dis tant.-Boston Journal.

Col. Wm. Land one of the cattle kings of Arizona, has sold, so re- ports says. about 5000 fat steers for the California market. A few car loads will be shipped at once. It is said that the balance will be driven overland, provided the s. P. rail- road company, does not lower its rates of freight.
 Following the above it is well to note that last year 4O00 fat steers were shipped out of Arizona, near ly all of them going east on ac- count of the high rates of freight to California points. These cattle were driven 150 miles across the country to a point where there were competing railroads, and at which, such rates were given, that the own CTS could ship the cattle to market to have a margin left. These cat tie would all have been shipped to California, had not the rates of freight prevented it.-Yuma Senti- mel.

Mir. Blaine on Reciprocity.

signs of the times is James c Blaine. In speech to his old con stituents in Maine on the 9th o September, he made a strong pre- sentation of the need of a modif cation of the existing tariff stuff cient to permit reciprocity in cer- tain products with countries which are willing to make corresponding concessions.
 The figures which he uses to il- lustrate the need of an extension oi markets are significient:
 We shall find it instructive and valuable to examine into the sources of our imports, and the des- tination of our exports, and to strike a balance between the two. Take last year-1089. In that year our whole exports to all the coun- tries in the three continents of Flu rope Asia, and Africa, and to Aus tralia Canada, and Hawaii, amount ed, in round numbers, to $65S, ,0O0,- 1000; and our imports from all those countries amounted, in round num- bers, to $529,O00,000 showing that from that vast trade we had a bal ance of $129,000,000 in our favor, equivalent to that amount of gold among our people. But when all the accounts were closed, instead of having $129,00O,000 in our favor we had a balance of $13,O00,000 against us from our foreign trade. We must, therefore, have lost $142,- 100000 in our commerce with the countries outside of those to which I have referred. Where could we have found such a large adverse balance? Let me tell you. We lost $41 100000 in Cuba, from which our imports were $52,000,000 and to which our exports were only $11,- GOO. $41, 100000 is a pretty large sum to lose in one island in a sin gle year. In tke Republic of Bra gil we lost $51 100000. Our imports from Brazil were $50,O00,000 Our exports to Brazil were $9.000,000. In Mexico we lost $10,000,000. Im- ports for Mexico were $21 100000 :; our exports to Mexico were $11,- 100000. To sum it all up, our inn ports from countries south of us, both insular and continental, on this hemisphere, were $216, 6,000,000 {; our exports to them were $74,OOO,- GOO. The balance against us in our trade with those countries, there fore, is S142.00O,000 exceeding our gains from all the rest of the world by $13,OOO,OOO. By no figures of speech can we fatter ourselves into the belief that our trade with our American neighbors is in a pros porous condition"
 Defending his proposals from the charge that the introduction of the reciprocity principle would lead to free trade, Mir Blaine says that in his judgement, system of reciproc- ity is supplementary to and not in conflict with a protective tariff, and would tend to enlarge our markets and create freer commercial inter- coure.

Arizona Cattle.

The fact that nearly every express train from the west brings in one or mre cattle buyers from California speaks volumes for the cattle grow CTS of Arizona.
 No better grass fed beef ever went into market than that which is being shipped to Los Angeles and other points in California. Grass and water are abundant and all of the cattle on thousands of hills are fat.
 Our cattle men are selling off their fat steers, so as to reduce the stock on hand, as we'll as to pre- pare for the increase of their herds. The ceming season promises to be the best in the history of cattle rais- ing in Arizona.-Yuma Sentinel.
