NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, August ia-The disappointment
In the street over the small acceptances OF silver
and the slowness Of purchases Of bonds by the
Treasury caused a renewal Of hesitation In the
stock market to-day. There Is no diminution OF
confidence In the ultimate permanent easing up
Of money by the action of the new silver law.
and, a. the law Is mandatory. 100000 ounces
must be purchased within The month and, from
present appearance, at considerably higher
figures than those now ruling. which will give
the market 50 much more relief. The full effects
of this are not expected TO be seen for from
thirty to sixty days, however, and IL is to pur-
chases OF bonds that the street is looking for inn
mediate relief,

 each thousand strOng-which are
 slain by intemperance every year in
 our native land, die ignobly-and no
 consolation comes to the hearts of
 mothers and wives, to keep back the
 scalding tears which are shed over
 sons and husbands who are hidden
 away in dishonored graves. Every
 sentiment of patriotism protests
 against this useless, meaningless sacri- lice Of her noble sons, for those victims are not alone the base and criminal of society, but they number multitudes Of the nOblest and best of men-states- men, lawyers, judges, merchants bankers-indeed men of all honorable professions and classes. I do not pre- tend to dictate the line of defence against this calamitous evil-whether prohibition, high license or moral suasion; let every thoughtful man de- termine for himself along what lines will be found the best defence against this frightful sacrifice. But friend ship and personal influence are al- ways in order. If you see your fel- low citizen indulging in excess, speak to him-as brother and friend-and strive to persuade him against this enemy which sends to dishonor and to death every year in our dear native land, number twice as great as the whole regular army of the United States"

Internal Ingenuity.

Could scarcely devise more excruciating tortures than those of which you see the evidences in the face of a rheumatic or neuralgia sufferer. The agonies are the consequence of not checking rheum- atlc or neuralgia attack at the outset.
 Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been found by skillful medical practitioners to possess not only remedial, but de- fensve efficacy, where those diseases exists, or tendency to them is exhibited. Surely this puissant but safe botanic medicine, bearing, too, such high specific sanction, is better than the poisons often employed, but most unsafe, not only in continuance, but in isolated doses. The blood is depurated thoroughly from the rheumatic virus, and the nerves, slightly upon, saved from ultimate and direful throes by this benign, saving medicine, which likewise exhibits marked efficacy for malaria, kidney complaints, dyspepsia, constipation and liver con- plaint.

The Neptune Gases.

It was generally believed, when these cases were dismissed at the June term of the Supreme Court at Pres- colt, that this ended the litigation, but on inquiry we learn that a motion for rehearing was made by the appellants, who claim that there was no legal ground for the dismissal, which they assert they will be able to show at the meeting of the Supreme Court at Phenix in August next. All proceed ings in the cases are stayed in that court until the motion for rehearing is disposed of.

Stock 0HtINNk.

The summer rains have set in al
 last, and every section of the county
 has been visited by one or more
 drenching showers. Stockmen are
 wearing their faces very nearly like what nature intended them to be. Less frequent stories come to hand about
 cattle dying for lack of sustenance,
 and much better feeling prevails
 among our ranchers and stock grow
 CTS. With the exception of few
 months in the year our ranges are in
 good condition for stock for breeding
 purposes, but we are unable to fatten
 cattle for market. If combine could
 be made with some place which fur
 nishes plenty of feed but no feeders
 the benefit would be mutual. There is no disguising the fact that Arizona cannot fatten cattle for the market, but as a breeding country she is with out a peer, and the time is near at hand when she will control the mar ket for yearlings, two-year-olds and three-year-olds. One grave error with cattle men in this portion of the Ter ritory is that too many of them carry more stock than their ranges will sup port, and consequently there is always growing about losing stock during the dry season. Another mistake is the scarcity of water when most needed, although the value of one years loss of stock would sink many wells and put up many windmills. And then, no provision is made for feed, whereas we are informed that hundreds of tons of good hay can be put up every year in the valleys at a small cost, and if used when feed is scarce would save hundreds of head every year. From information at hand we believe that our stockmen should combine and select some com paratively near place where plenty of | .eed is grown and then give their en- ire attention to furnishing that place with stock to be fattened for the mar zet. This would relieve the crowded ranges and make a sure and profitable market and do away with the outside dea that Arizona has only "alkali" ,attle.

Reciprocity.

The following are the terms in brief
 of an agreement entered into by Sec
 retary Blaine and Mexican Minister
 Romero providing for reciprocal cross
 ing of the international line by troops
 of the United States and the republic
 of Mexico when in close pursuit of
 hostile Indians Under the arrange
 ment it is provided that no Indian scouts of the United States shall be allowed to cross the boundary lines unless they go as guides and trailers, unarmed, and not exceeding in any case two scouts for each company, or each separate command. The reel procal crossing agreed upon shall only occur in unpopulated or deserted parts of said boundary line. For the pur- pose of this agreement unpopulated or desert parts are defined to be all those points which are at least ter kilometers distant from any encamp- ment or town of either country. No crossing of troops of either country shall take place from Campo Leal, a town on the Mexican side of the Rio Bravo eighty-four kilometers, or fifty two English miles, above Piedras Ne gras, to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The commander of troops which cross the frontier in pursuit of Indians shall at the time of crossing, or before, if possible, give notice of his march to the nearest military commander or civil authority of the country whose territory he enters. The pursuing force shall retire to its own territory as soon as 1t shall have found the band of which it is in pursuit or have lost the trail. In no case shall the forces of the two countries respectively establish themselves or remain in foreign territory for any time longer than IS necessary to make pursuit of the band whose trail they follow. Abuses which may be committed by foreigners who cross into the territory of the other nation shall be punished by the government to which the forces belong according to the gravity of the offense and in conformity with its laws as if the abuses had been com mitted in it's own territory, said gov ernment being further under obliga- tions to withdraw guilty parties from the frontier. In case of offenses which may be committed by inhabitants of one country against foreign forces which may be within its limits, the government of said country shall be only responsible to the government of the other for denial of justice in the nI1niSh ment Of the ol1i1tv

Census returns are causing much worriment throughout the country. Tucson looms with a larger popula- tion than any other place in the Ter ritory and Phenix gets even by saying that she is the only city in the Terri tory, anyhow. About the only way for Phenix to substantially increase her population is to take the tax off marriage licenses and ceremonies. Tben take it easy and let nature run things for while and when the next census comes around Tucson will be ashamed of herself.

They will stop the pain from which so many women suffer at certain times, and if used regularly cure the difficulty per manently.

"I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills. :"

But the love of country is pre-emi- nently & love of the people of the country. We may find beautiful lands
 which are possessed by most debased peoples, but in our land we find a peo- pie worthy of the noble. inheritance into which they have entered. We do not claim perfection for our people there is no perfection anywhere-and if we love only that which is perfect we shall never love at all. But where, I ask, can be found more manly men and more womanly women, than in the United States? Made up of ma terials from all other enlightened na- tions, we are like piece of mosaic, more beautiful in the combination than in the separate blocks. The of the old historic families of Europe which has taken place on this continent, has produced a people from the types from which they sprang, blending their national peculiarities into finer and more harmonious character than that of the Englishman, the mercurial Celt, or the phlegmstic German
