Pima County.
From the Tucson Citizen.

From the Tucson Citizen.
 Thomas Driscoll, the cattleman, re- ports that cattle are being held through this portion of the country for cents a pound, and that no sales are likely to be made for lower figure. Cattle in gen. eral are beginning to thin down a tritie, owing to the late rains having washed the nutriment out of the dry grass on the prairie. Grass and weeds are begin ming to peep through from the late rain. The cattle are again coming to the ranches for water, the supply from the water holes having dried up. Rain is much needed.
 A shipment of cattle was made yes terday by Cbaroleau Bros, X Samaniego to Los Angeles. The cattle were sold to Frank Parker, and consists of ll6 head of steers and fifty calves. The stock come from Canadodioro ranch thirty miles north of town and are fat and in splendid condition, averaging S75 pounds each. Two steers among the drove were monsters, one weighing l460 pounds the other over 1900 pounds. These showed what Arizona can do as stock country, as they were mountain fed and wild as ueer. lue Ddnu Hll6u SIX CSI5, anu WeTe sold for $l .S5 per hundred.
 From the Tucson Star.
 The amount of ore which is now be- ing shipped out of Pima County daily, would keep large reduction works in steady employment, and as these ship ments are steadily increasing with the development of the mines, there is good reason to believe that during next year, the shipments from Pima County alone, will reach from two to four hundred tons daily.
 The coming Legislature will be Demo- cratic. It has two-thirds of the members in both houses. It will be entrusted with the responsibility of making the Democratic party of Arizona as a perfect Gibraltar of strength by good legislation such legislation as will receive the sanction of the people; such legislation as will tell Tn good results for the people. If the Democratic party fails in it's duty, it will greatly weaken the party, and it may go so far as to destroy it. The Democratic majority in the Legislature is charged with grave responsibility.

THE SUNDAY REST LAW.
Opinion of an old Arlzonan Upon Noted
 Question.

OuestAoh.
 To the Editor of TIE REPUBLICAN:
 The Government of the United States was not founded upon any principle oi morality or religion, but is essentially a political institution. Nothing in the constitution recognises any God or any system of religion-on the contrary that charter of American liberty ignores both God and religion.
 The founders of the Government had seen the effects of religious interference with State government in the old world, where the people had been deluged in blood for the pretended love of God for countless ages, and deter mined in laying the foundations of a new government in the new world to separate religion from the State so wide that the danger of conflict would be re- mote. The most of American statemen have read the fable of the Trojan horse and concluded that no such equine monstrosity should be admitted into our temple of freedom, whether it con tained priests in petticoats or parsons in pantaloons.
 The Government of the United States or of any State, Territory or munich pality may provide for day of rest as a a police or sanitary regulation; but any attempt to legalize a day of religious ob- servances is q positive rebellion against the fundamental principles of govern ment. The day has passed when Egyp- tion, Jewish or Roman priests can com mand the people in the name of the government united with the name of God; and if it ever comes again this country will be deluged in blood, Christ settled this question to the satisfaction of any true believers in his divine doc trines on the legality of paying Roman coinage into the Jewish treasury; and parsons who are better than Christ at this day are scarce. And it may be said without offence that law makers who are wiser than the founders of the gov ernment are not abundant. The Ameri- can people cannot keep religion and politics Tout of the soup;" but mix ture of these ingredients is impalatable to every patriot. c. D. r.

AT 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Officer
Heady, while In the vicinity of the Jail,
heard peculiar noise. Thinking at first
it came from the adjoining carpenter
shop, he paid but little atten lion thereto.
Involuntary he started to walk around
the jail, when suddenly the noise ceased
Growing suspicious, he pretended 10 walk
on, but in reality stealthily stepped back
to the same spot. A minnie later the
noise recommended, aud after having
treasured himself Of the locality whence
II came, the officer entered the Jail and
located the mysterious noise In the cell
occupied by three prisoners who are on
the eve OF being transported to Walla

TO them by a man who was liberated the
day before. The bottom had been bored
by Frank Logan, now In Walla Walld,
and the present occupants would have
finished what he had begun, had Il not
been for the watchfulness OF Officer
Heady, who discovered the contemplated

In newspaper articles on the necessity Of
early organization and needful improve
ments in the national army and navy the
address Of Sir Charles Dixie before the
Royal Statistical society of England has
been frequently referred to- Among other
cogent remarks made by the speaker was
one TO the effect that the total failure OF
the French in 1870 to obtain even a momen
tsry success with an army of splendid cour
age and perfect training drew the moral
that, whatever the peace expenditure, wal
cannot be commenced with a fair chance
OF winning by nation which waits until
war TO make her organization perfect. -

There is minister in New York city
who said once that he was not certain
that he should ever make a long prayer
again. What led him to say this was the
remark of a very small boy whose mother
attends his church. Since the minister
learned Of the remark, il may not be un-
fair to tell the story. 1t was very lone
prayer, and when the mother was leading
her son from the church after the services
the boy said to her, Mamma, don't you
think God must get awfully tiredp His
mother looked at him in surprise. "What
makes you think soY' she asked, ooh, he
works so hard" She waited moment
What makes you think God works SC

In one of Bret Harte's clever parodies Of
the French lie tells story in words some
thing like these: Three gamins were play
ing in the streets Of Paris. a priest passed
by. There goes "a prizes" cried one; "look
out for your eggs and your chickensp'
Then the priest, hearing the words, knelt
down and prayed for the boys. But upon
reflection he was convinced that it was not
the fault of the boys, but of their parents.
He knelt down the second time and prayed
for the boys parents. On another thought
be saw that it was not the fault of the
boys parents, but of society. He knelt
down again and prayed for society AS he
rose from his prayer he said to himself;
"My friend, who is society," You and are
society" So he knelt down the last time
and prayed for himself.-San Francisco
ArgOnaut.
