A little love, Of heaven a little share,
And then we go-what matters it? since
where,
Or when, or how. none may aforetime
know,
Nor if death cometh soon, or lingering

Send on ahead his herald of Despair.
On this gray life Love lights with golden
glow.
Refracted from The Source, his bright wings
throw
Its glory on US, if Fate grant our prayer
"A little lovel
A little, It's as much as we may bear,
For Love is compassed with such magic air
Who breathes it fully dies; and knowing
SO
The Gods all wisely but a taste bestow
For little lives. a little while they spare
A little love.

THE Prescott Journal-Miner well says :: "The greatest agencies this Territory has ever had to induce immigration have been its newspapers. 1t has more news papers, both daily and weekly, in pro- portion 70 its population than any other State or Territory in the United States, and while the enterprising citizens oc- casionally complain that the newspa- pers are not as good as they might or ought to be, it is fact that every one will compare more than favorably with those of any other State ol; Territory in proportion to the population surround ing them. While there are few indi- viduals who think that newspaper of magnificent proportions should be pub lished in the smallest communities without any great support, the greater portion of the citizens patronize their newspapers freely and send them broad cast over the rest of the country. This is what makes the Arizona newspaper 8 good immigration agent"

WE will never more see poor Emma Abbott's smile or hear her resonant stage kiss. It can be said of her that she was as highly respected as she was popular, and the pleasure she has given to many thousands by the melody of her voice will not be forgotten until her last nearer has followed her to the grave. And the dramatic profession owes her debt of gratitude as well as the public. It was Emma Abbott who rose and spoke out in Tennessee church in protest against the sweeping charge of bagot that the
 women of the stage are immoral. That speech opened the eyes of good many who had been blind from prejudice, and made the country at large little more just to those who stand and a little more charitable to those who fall before the temptations of most exacting life.

TIE REPUBLICAN is informed that number of the friends at Wash irlgton of Abram s. Humphries, Esq. of this city are urging his appoint ment by the President to the newly created judgeship of this Territory. TIE REPUBLICAN can heartily endorse MT. Humphries for the position. He man oi superior attainments, highly educated, dignified and cultured. An idea of his ability may be had from the fact that he was admitted to the bar when he was but IS years old, passing highly creditable examination before the Su- preme Court, and the Legislature by special enactment removing his disa- bilities so as to permit his admission under age. During his residence in Arizona he has taken front rank as an attorney. demonstrating his ability to cope with the oldest and most skilled members of the bar. If appointed he would fill the position with ability and with credit to the administration. MT. Humphries has endorsements of the highest character from the bench and bar of Mississippi, both State and Federal, and while Republican, his extreme conservatism on public ques- tions, which 1t is conceived affect that section of the country, may entitle him to look to that quarter for assistance,

FROM distance it would appear as though the hostiles were preparing for a grand sweep upon Pine Ridge Agency. One thing is peculiar about them. With the Black Hills only few miles from them and pine fastnesses that would give all advantage to them over the cavalry. the Sioux still prefer to keep to the plain. In similar case a band oi Apaches would have taken to the noun tains at once. Against Calling guns and cavalry an Indian has but little show upon the plains, but in the Black Hills he would be able to choose his own terms of surrender.

YOUNG LADY SHOT.

 Miss sturges Severely Wounded by a
 Boys Reckless Shooting.
 Saturday morning about 10 o'clock, Miss Sturges, daughter of J. M. Strrges, was shot accidentally or otherwise, and a Mexican toy was arrested yesterday by Constable Mcdonald and lodged in the County Jail.
 Miss Sturges was standing in a screened apartment used for kitchen in the summer at the residence of her brother on Montezuma street, attending to her household duties when there was suddenly a report and she felt tinge of pain. Realizing that she was shot a physician was immediately called, who, upon examination, found that the bull let had entered the right thigh, pene- trating the flesh so deep that it could not be reached by probing.
 An officer was notified and tried to find the culprit, but none of the occu- pants of the houses adjoining knew any thing about the matter. They were all Mexicans, and by investigating, the officer found in one of the houses a 22-calibre rifle, which he took possession of and then found the owner of it, which proved to be boy about l6 years of age. The boy was arrested, although he declared his innocence.
 The neighbors have complained for some time of number of Mexican boys who have been making a practice of shooting around the neighborhood in a very reckless manner, and they are in favor of an investigation which will put e stop to this dangerous and aggravating nuisance.

IF, as it has been alleged, the Florence road to Globe is to be changed from feasible and cheap route to rough and expensive one, for no reason other than to keep Tempe out of the Globe market, the new road will find but little favor in the eyes of the Globe people.

Now that work is began on the sugar beet factory on the Chino ranch, at Chino, California, the Southern Pacific railroad is building branch line from Pomona to Chino. This will put the land owners of this valley into direct shipping communication with the sugar factory, and no more profitable crop could be raised than the sugar beet.

MORTGAGE FORECLOSED,

The Rock Island Shuts Down on a Branch
for $2S,OOO,OOO.
KANSAS Cry, March 12.-Judge Caldwell,
in the United States cicruit court, signed a
decree of foreclosure in the case of the
Rock Island road against the Chicago,
Kansas d Nebraska, and the latter line will
now be disposed of at public sale to satisfy
the Rock Islands mortgage of $2s, OOO, GOO.
The case was hotly contested for over a
year. The controversy arose over the fore
closure of a mortgage on the Chicago.
Kansas & Nebraska road Counties of
Kansas and Nebraska through which the
road was built voted $4,000, 900 in aid of it,
and they fought the foreclosure. Judge
Caldwell referred the case to Newman Erb
as referee. Erb decided in favor of the
Rock Island and Judge Caldwell sustained
the decision. The Kansas and Nebraska
counties lose the value of their stock, which
will become worthless upon the sale of the
road. 1t is rumored that Gould syndicate
will buv the road when it is put up at auc-
ton and thus kill active competition W tn
the Union Pacific.

wrecked near Dartsmouth, in Devonshire,
during the recent storm and all her crew

Dryad, bound for Valparaiso, was also
wrecked off Start Point near Devonshire.
Her crew of twenty-four men were drowned.
Among the schooners lost off Start Point
was the Lunesdale. Four of her
crew were drowned. Already it is
known that at least seventy lives were
lost off the coast during the blizzard
and in addition at least ten men per-
ished from cold after reaching the shore.
1t is feared the list of wrecks and the REQ
ord of lives lost is far from being COM
plete, as a number of other vessels are
known to be missing.
Many points inland, where the storm was
most severely felt, are still isolated from
the surrounding country and days must
elapse before through freight and passen-
ger traffic Is entirely restored. Large gangs
of laborers have been sent out in all direo-

HIGH OPINION OF BLAINE.
Expressed by Sir Charles Tupper
While Discussing the Subject
of Reciprocity.
The Secretary of State Was
Known to be Opposed to
the Mckinley Bill.
Full Extent of the Damage by the Fur.
ious storms In England mot
Known as Yet.

OTTAWA March l2.--Sir Charles Topper
said in an interview to-day: II am very
sanRuine that's reciprocal trade arrange
ment on broad and liberal basis, between
Canada and the United States, will be very
soon made, embracing such articles,
whether the product of forest or OF farm,
ms can be arranged to the mutual advantage
of both countries. My confidence in that
result arises from the fact that Mr. Blaine
was known to be strongly opposed to the
Mckinley tariff act, and he has sought to
relieve that measure of the natural conse-
auences which must flow from it by pro-
posals for reciprocal arrangements with
other countries. So far from refusing to
make anything but treaties Of unrestricted
reciprocity, the treaty he has made with
Brazil simply embraces articles that both
countries agreed could be exchanged to the
mutual benefit of each, either free or at
reduced duty, .eaying many
other articles at existing rates of duty. The
treaty that Mr.. Blaine has made with New
foundland is precisely of the same charac-
ter, and embraces the same principles ex-
actly AS would be included in treaty that
Canada would be prepared to make with
the United States. Mr.. Blaine is, undoubt-
edly, very eminent ard able statesman.
and following, no doubt. the discussion oi
the issue between the two parties in this
country, has learned that the statement
that the liberal conservative government
and partly is unfriendly to the United
States is the very reverse of truth. Mr..
Blaine, finding how entirely he had been
misied rs to the real position of the two
parties in this country, will, l have no
doubt. be prepared to give most friendly
consideration to the wishes of the govern
ment of Canada to have freer and more
friendly trade relations between the Do
minion and the United States. shall be
greatly surprised if Mr. Blaine does
not crown his best efforts as public man
by accomplishing the settlement of all
questions of friction between the United
States and Canada ON terms that will be
mutually beneficial and honorable to bo tn
countries"

Sterling
S|LYERV ARE

Sterling Silverware is synony-
mous with elegance. Wherever
you find one you usually find the
other. It is sought after more and
more as the world grows older.
The silversmiths of to-day produce
thandsomer things than were ever
thought of twenty five years ago,
and for much less money. Ma.
chinery and improved methods
have wrought the change. Once
the silversrnith was an artist in
the highest sense OF the word.
Now the artist knows nothing of
the hammer or blowpipe. He sim
ply designs his work and turns it
over to the virtual silversmith,
mere workman, and a thousand
duplicate patterns are made for the
delight of as many uses, at a price
never possible under the old re.
gime.
