"CO CUT YOUR HAIR"
The Cruel Remark that Took the Heroisn
Out of AIphonse Daudet.

When Alphonse Daudet was 4 boy
his father failed, and for some time
Alphonse lived with him in penury nj
Lyons. But an elder brother procured
a position in glassstore at Paris, and
Alphonse went to live with him.
They took the cheapest lodgings in
the city, for money was exceedingly
scarce In fact Daudet travelled to
Paris in a freight car, wearing pair
of rubber boots, inside of which was
neither slippers nor stockings. The
journey occupied two days, and the boy
did not taste food during the whole
time. Finally when Paris was reached,
he was nearly frozen. rs well as starved,
There they dwell, far up in the attic of
a building six stories in height.
But neither of the brothers lost
heart. Both had an abounding faith
that the younger possessed genius.
One day stray volume of Daudet's
poems found its way into the Tuileries.
The Empress Eugenie was delighted
with it and exclaimed to her brother
in-law, Cant we do something for the
boy who wrote these?" The duke re-
piled, I'VE can do everything for him
if Your Majesty so desires" Then
find out about him and offer assist
ancen' she cried.
The lext day Alphonse looked down
from his attic window in surprise to
see a great carriage bearing the royal
coat-of-arms, stop before the door In
a momenta huge, impressive, dignitied,
liveried lackey came ponderously
creaking up the stairs. As he knocked
heavily on the door Daudet reeled for
ward half in faint What could it
mean? What would happen? Nothing,
the lackay said, except the duke sent
his card to Nj. Daudet, who would
please call upon the duke one week
from that day.
What preparations were made fol
that visit! Surely Daudet could not 90
to the palace in rags and tatters, so he
searched the clothing stores of all
Paris, trying to hire dress suit, but
owing to his peculiar physique none
could be found. After many trials he
succeeded in getting hold of a tailor
who made him suit on the strength OF
the Dukes card-for Daudet had nc
money to pay for it-and on the ap-
pointed day he went to the palace
writes II. II. Boyesen in Hdrper'S. A
score of others were present, but he
waited his turn, and it came. He was
ushered in to where the Duke sat.
Can you write?" Yes. sir,n re.
piled Daudet. Very good; want .
secretary; pay 5000 francs. Good
morning" The boy was nearly over
come. He had never imagined that
any one was paid that much year
about 81, 900.
But he suddenly remembered that
he differed in politics from the Duke
and drawing himself up, announced
the fact. Instead of being deeply
moved by this heroic course the Duke
said; "Oh, get your hair cut. | don't
care anything about your political be-
liefs."

Legend of the Death of Solomon.

There is legend concerning the
death of Solomon. alluded to in the
Koran and found in the Chronicle of
Tabar, which is to the following
effect: Solomon employed the genii
in building the temple. but, perceiving
that his end was nigh at hand, prayed
God that his death might be concealed
from the @enii until the work was COM
pleted. for Solomon knew that if he
died and the genii knew of his death
they would leave off building. There
fore he made himself staff from
tree in his garden, and leaning upon
this staff, with his head bowed in ado
ration, he died in the temple. His
soul was taken so gently from hfm
that the body remained standing, so
remaining for one whole year. Those
who saw him thought he was absorbed
in prayer and they dared not approach
him. Still the genii worked night and
day until the temple was completed,
thinking that they were watched in
every detail by the master whose eyes
had many weeks before closed in death.
But during all this time little white
ants had been gnawing at the staff and
when the temple was finished, long
year after the death of Solomon, the
staff crumbled under his weight and
the body fell to the ground. Mahomet
alludes to this curious legend in the
following (see Koran Sura xxxiv.):
when he (God) had decreed that
Solomon should die, nothing discov-
cred death unto them (the geniD ex-
cept the creeping things of the earth,
which guawed his staff. and when his
body fell down the genii plainly per-
ceived that if they had known that
which is secret they would not have
continued in vile punishment

The Parnell of To-Day,

Charles Stewart Parneli usually
wears loosely fitting cut-away-coat.
He wears it until it is shiny, then he
wears it until it is shabby. and then he
keeps on wearing it. Parnell has
grown very old looking in the past few
years. The bald spot On his head has
increased perceptibly in size, and the
grey hairs in his beard are growing
more numerous. There is a constant
ly troubled expression upon his face
and he seldom smiles or INDUCES in
light conversation. After he becomes
worn out with work he disappears,
sometimes for weeks, and no one
knows where to look for him. He
drops as completely ont of the world
as if he had dropped into his grave.

Kisses which fall upon the dead's mute lips.
Like dew on roses which the first frost nipS.
Come all too late:

speak:
The golden chord of life at best is weak.
All. do not wait.
Kind words in ears whose earthly powers arc

Like sunshine on the tree by lightning rent,
Can give no balm:
'Tis better far to give them while those ears
For life has much of wo and much of fear!
And love brings calm.
ii Is too late when llfe's lamp burneth low.
Wren hands once warm are chill as winters
snow,
To do kind deeds:
'1is better here, where feet are prone TO slide:
'Tfs better now-than wait till eycntide

All, friends! dear friends-if any such there
Keep not your loving thoughts away from me
Till am goue:

As lonely watchers want the light of day
Ere it is MORN
And though sometimes my heart, DER some
sore wrong
Long brooding, weaves some bitterness ir
'Tis but shade
Within lifes texture where the best are poor.
U, close not up 10 many faults Loves door!

The FenitenteS.

They compose secret organization in New Mexico, that Is fast dying out, and is not now sanctioned by the dominant church, and the worst of their doings are supposed to take place in their lodge rooms. They are seen to outsiders only when marching in procession, carrying each rough, wooden cross, nearly heavy enough to crush them under its weight. Their backs are usually bare and, as they stagger along as best they can, weighted down by their burdensome load in body and their slns in mind, their brethren beat them with clubs and prick them with cactl till in many instances there apparently isn't an inch of the flesh that isn't torn and bleeding. Not intrequently they die from the effects of tbe terrible pun lshment inflicted. A doleful chanting, Tn which they specify the particular sins they are trying to expiate, IS con- tinually kept up. And yet th1s very class is usually composed of the rab- ble element of the community. Of- ten, when they get through their pen ances, they go straight off and get drunk and run up another score of evil deeds done in the body greater than the last. They seem to hold inn plicitly to the belief that every sin committed must be paid for Tn suffer- ing, and, the more pain one endures here, the less he will have hereafter Optic.

Across .he Continent in a Canoe.

The New York Mail and Express started member of its staff in canoe up the Hudson river, April 10th, with instructions to proceed to the Pacific Coast, to empty bottle of water taken from the Atlantic ocean at Sandy Hook into the Pacific ocean at the mouth of the Columbia river.
 It is expected he will end the trip next October. The route is 1000 miles long and passes through or alongside of seventeen States. between the staft- ing point, at the statue of Liberty, and Fort Canby, Washington.
 The principal waterways to be traversed are the Hudson river, Erie canal, the Ohio, Mississippi. Missouri and Columbia rivers The first carry will be from Lake Ere into Chautati- qua lake; the next will be at the great falls of the Missouri, and the third over the summit of the Rocky noun tains.
 The voyage IS to be made in the first seamless paper canoe ever con- structed. 1t welghs sixty-two pounds, is fifteen feet in length, thirty inches beam, depth amidships nlne inches, storage-room forty one feet two inches both bow and stern, ard six feet amid ships clear for stateroom. The sail is a standing lug" eight feet on the boom, six feet and six inches on the head, and five feet gaff. The leach is ten feet two inches.

4 Valuable Mail.

For the first time Tn the history of Califorpia the enormous sum ofS55,000 has beer successfully carried in the United States mail from this city to Southern California.
 A few days ago leading bank in San Ber,ardino had occasion to trans fer the sam named from San Francls- co to it's vaults. The gold was put up in sacks n qde for the purpose, with 5000 in ! package. The sacks were slmpl. fed up and not sealed, and was scat ss second-class matter at 1 cent s... os,nce Eaeh sack was then registered. An iasrAarce company then stepped in and for a considera tion insured the safe delivery of the coin. By using this method of trans portation tie San Bernardino bank saved something like $50, and the plan was absolutely y safe so far as the bank was concerned.-S. F. Chronicle.

A Good Move.

Governor Wolhey has been corre- spending with the Land Department at Washington in relation to surveys of public lands in Arizona. The law providing for surveys says that the applications for surveys must be made in writing to the Surveyor General, who will Tn return notify the settler how much it will cost to make the sur vey, the settler in time deposits that amount of money with the land office and the surveyor contracts with dep uty 10 perform the work. This rule has been suspended for few years and upon the Governors reqhes@the Commissioner of the Land Ofhce has answered several questions, among which the following will be of interest:
 In reply I have to state that sur veys may be made finder the deposit system whenever the requirements of circular of June 24, 1885, copy here with, shall have been compiled with. The Hon. Secretary of the Interior has recently declined to make any general notifications of said circular, and the regulations therein contained are still in force.
 In this connection 1 have to state that under date of July 25, 1889, the sum of S5000 out of the surveying ap- preparation for the current fiscal year was placed at the disposal of the Sur veyor General of Arizona, and he was authorized to apply the same to the survey of townships occupied wholly or ill part by actual settlers, as con tes1plated by the appropriation act, and he was further authorized, where portions of townships were mountain ouS or otherwise rendered unfit tor agricultural purposes, to survey the portions adapted to agriculture, leav- ing the remainder unsurveyed.
 As yet no surveying contracts chargeable to the said sum of S5000 have been presented for my approval, and the entire sum is therefore avail able to make such surveys as may be applied for by bona fide settlers.

Niagara Ship Canal.

The House Committee on Railways and Canals has ordered a favorable re- port on Representative Paynes bill providing for the construction by the United States of a ship canal around Niagara Falls. The roats is to be along one of the lines already sur veyed, and a definite location IS to be made by board of five men to be ap- pointed by the President, composed of two army engineers, two civil engi- neers and enc distinguished citizen. Ten thousand dollars is approi siated for the expenses of the bosrc srand $l, ,O0e,o0O is appropriated to begin the eonstFaetiUn of ths canal usdcr the direction of the Seeratafy aF War. The committee has listened to. argu- rnents upon the subject by repre5en- tatives of lake shipping interests and others, and the report will make strong point upon the military neces- sity for the canal. It will be urged that the Welland, which now affords the only route around the falls, is an English property and would be closed against us in the event of a war. Tie depth of the canal, 13 feet, would also be insufficient to permit of the pas sage of our vessels. Asa further req son in support of the passage of the bill, it will be recited that the Vel land Canal has been used as. means of discrimination agalnst the ports of the United States and in favor of the Canadian expert trade According to the plans submitted, the canal is to cost S29, 100000, which will really be less than the cost of the Welland Can al with its B feet depth, while the new canal is to have depth of 201 feet. Tie route is about twenty three miles in length, and the locks are to be 400 feet long by 80 feet in breadth. Otherwise the canal IS to be sufficient ly large to admit of the passage of vessels which can pass through the St. Mary's Canal when the new locks are completed.

aked Up Enectuafsy.

A lethargic, dormant condition of the liver is hardly to be overcome with dras- tic cathartics and nauseous cholago9ues. A gentler, pleassnter and far more effec tive means exists of arousing the organ when somnolent. This is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, vouched for by the medical fraternity, tested by the public for many years. A resumption by the biliary organ of its secretive function, with the activity attendant upon health, a return to regularity of the bowels, and a renewal of digestion, are the no less happy and certain results of using the Bitters systematically. Its laxative ef- feet is never painful and drenching, Its tendency being rather to perpetuate reg ularity than to produce copious action. Malaria, nervousness, debility, kidney troubles and neuralgia it subdues efec- tually.

i Successful Drive.

A correspondent of the Wilcox Stockman writes from Deming: The Ere Cattle Companys herd of 600 steers arrived here last week. Owing to the Santa Fe having no stock cars ill sight, they were obliged to hold them several days before shipping. Those who saw the steers on their range said that they were fatter and Tn better shape on arriving here than when they left the company's ranch. They came through without the loss of a single animal, and at a cost of about S200-while, # they had been shipped at Wilcox, the cost would have been about $700. Thus Manager Brown made clear saving of about $500 for his company, and at the same time demonstrated the fact that if the ranch owners of Arizona will put com petent men in charge of their steers that they can be driven to Deming at a small cost and without the loss of any steers, thus saving thousands of dollars each year instead of paylng tribute to the railroad monopoly.

To be Carried Co she 2, s. s.prca,s c0ir,

The refusal of the old Board of Prison Commissioners to turn over the affairs of that institution to the new appointees, we learn from Chairman P. R. Brady, was occasioned by a de- sire to carry to the Supreme Court of United States a decision of the Dis trict Court. The case of Cheyney vs. Smith, recently decided by the Court, in which Attorney General Churchill was attorney for the defendant, 1t is understood, will not he appealed for the reason that Churchill does not de
 sire @ reversal of the judgment of the court. The alleged compromise by which Superintendent Strauss turned over his office to Cheyney, also acts as bar to an appeal, and the acting commissioners who have served for year, believed that the act of vacating their offices was a confession of their usurpation thereof and in effect would stultify their position. Therefore they invite an acton for ejectnent, or usur- patton of office, with a view to carry the question direct to the United States Supreme Court, and they will accept the penalty imposed if this tri- bunal affirms the judgment of the low CT court. In other words, they are fighting for principle and will not be satisfied until a final decision is reached in the matter. They are cer- tainly exhibiting commendable de- gree of moral courage in view of the financial risks they assume, and they deserve the sympathy of their party friends if their immolatioh serves but to demonstrate that their nerve Is bet ter than their judgment.-Enterpris
