pIG's1ED OUT HER WEDDING
PRESENTS.

Not long age, says the Atlanta
Journal, IN -ttiant. young lady was
at5at to 5o marr;ej-she is married
n9~, msv heavco bless her and keep
active the business taat with which
she endowed. Iha following story
has leaked Gus by the merchants com
pariHg notes from time to tine:
About two weeks before the time
tie wedding w, to take place tho
roung ,a,iY visited the various stores
IN the city. st each Of the Jewelry
stores she called the proprietor ASIDE
and told him OF her approaching MAJ
ria1e. and then said:
"No~ ii is very probable that some
Of my friends may come in here and
select me !; present.. It's horrid to get
something YOU don't like, 50 | want
YOU to loo': out for me, and it you
can satisfy yourself that q present is
about to be purchased for me, induce
the purchaser TO buy something | will
nov, select"
The proprietor could see nothing
wrong in granting such Il request, and
the young lady selected a number of
Of fpeiecs Of jewelry which suited her
taste. They were marked and the
clerks notified.
This was repeated at the erockery,
music and book stores. From all
that can be learned, the scheme work
ed well, and on the wedding night
the happy bride had few presents with
which she was not pleased.

JUST A LITTLE"

aOnly just a little, a very, very
little!' said the brook to the bank.
And the bank was silent, and the
brook wore its sides till the earth
melted away and the sods foated down
the stream.
"Just little more, very little
more!" said the brook again.
And the waters pressed against the
roots of the willows that grew beyond
the banks and laid them bare.
.Just a little, little more" said the
brook again.
And the widening stream advanced
with fresh force till, one by one, the
willows fell and were borne away in
the torrent.

waters closed in on it, s'if | had not

SIT UP STRAIGHT, GENTLE
MEN.
TFrom Kate Fields Washington

We onght to establish in the United
States a scl1e..sse-,f Department for
Publ Men. the first motto Z
should hang up over TIE door world
be: "Don;t sit On your spine" I
couldn't help thinking of that &c sat
IL the gallery of the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes the day the Chief Justice
delivered his Grafton. In marched
the President and Mr. Blaine, follow
ed by the other Secretaries, and sat
down in the first row Of the amphithe-.
atre. Sat? Yes, sitting is what it is
called. Within five minutes every
mothers son of them, with perhaps
one exception, had slid down 50 that
his body was supported by his anoula-
er-bIades and the small Of his back.
The Justices Of the Supreme Court
followed, and down they went in tee
same way. So did tie rest of the dig
nitaries, as beyy after bevy fled in.
In contrast with them, there sat the
the Foreign Ministers and The dele
TaLcS 10 the Two !ntefh2tl0nal confer
ences, as upright as ramrods. What
made the contrast most disagreable
was in fact that our own great men
were by far the best-looking persons
on the floor, as a rule. Il seemed q
pity that they should spoil their ene
effect by such an attitude. But it is
the common fault Of Americans in
public places. Congress- habitually
sits OH its four hundred and odd spInes
when it isn't making speeches or wri-
ting letters. Our magistrates do it on
the bench Our State legislators do
it. Everybody does it when he hasn't
bis hands or his brain, or both, too
busily occupied to admit such a thing.
And why, pray?

TIE TURKS AND TILE CRES-
CENT.

The crescent was not originally the
emblem Of the Turk. It was first
used by the primitive Christians of
'Contantinople, and the eastern provin-
ces Of the old Roman empire, as an
emblem OF the growing influence Of
Christianity. 1t was not until about
the year 1883, after the Turks had
overrun Asia Minor and parts Of
south eastern Europe, and had captur-
ed Constantinople, that the Turks
adopted the crescent as their natioDh
emblem. The Koran prohibits the
use OF images, and symbols in the re-
ligioGs ceremonies Of the strict Turk,
or the internal decorations of their
temples and mosques, the rule being.
SO strict as not to allow the martial OF
civil decoration of their greatest gen.
eral or pashas, successful commanders
Or other distinguished persons. The
adoption Of the crescent by the Turk
as a national emblem is an oddity
which has 50 far remained unexplained.

\ shorter Route to Harrisburg Suggested
 by a Freighter.
 To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,:
 PnoENIx, Ariz., August lS.-Eiaving been engaged for the past summer in running light freight and passenger wagon to the Harqua Hala mining dis trict and having made several experi- mental trips for the purpose of finding, if possible, a nearer and more practica- ble route for the transportation of freight and passengers to and from this point, l ask the privilege of your columns for the purpose of laying such facts before the people of Phoenix as have presented themselves to me during my many trips across this, at present, waterless waste. The present main travelled road to liar risburg is by way of Buckeye, Mullins Wells, Burgers Wells and then thirty five mile desert to the mines. During the past summer l have followed this road regularly in going out loaded, but in coming back empty invariably came back across the country and in making these trips the most practical route which presents itself to me is that which l have already adopted to come over. This route commences one and One-half miles below Harrisburg and runs as straight as l could drive to the north pass of Saddle mountain, then continues in almost the same course to Evans crossing of the Hassayampa, where it hits the old road. This road runs about five miles north of Burgers wells and is probably twenty or twenty five miles shorter than any other route. Of course this road could be materially shortened by crossing the Hassayampa one mile farther north and running direct to Buckeye.
 To make this a good passabe wagon road $500 will, l think, be more than sufficient. The most important thing to be done will be to encourage some man in sinking a well in the Burger wash, some five or six miles above Burger we'll. That portion of the desert abounds in grapes and weeds, and will be valua- ble as stock range. The well would be centrally situated to fine mineral region, besides as watering place on the road it's value can be hardly esti- mated. We have every reason to believe that that whole range of country, including the Harqua Hala, Pomosa and Hackawa noun tains, will all contribute to the travel of this road. Hoping that the people of Phoenix will wake up to the importance of improving this route and looking into the road business generally, I am respectfully yours.
