'' August
 Flower

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
 Mo-, during the past two years has been affected with Neuralgia of the Head, Stomach and Womb, and writes: My food did not seem to strengthen me at all and my appe- tite was very variable. My face was yellow, my head dull, and had such pains in my left side. In the morning when I got up I would have flow of mucus in the mouth, and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes my breath became short, and I had such queer, tumbling, palpitating sensations around the heart. ached all day under the shoulder blades, in the left side, and down the back of my limbs. It seemed to be worse in the wet, cold weather of Winter and Spring; and whenever the spells came on, my feet and hands would turn cold, and I could get no sleep at all. tried everywhere, and got no relief before using August Flower Then the change came. It has done me wonderful deal of good during the time have taken it and is work ing complete cure" Q c. G. GREEN, Sole Man'fr, Woodbury,N,J.

SUPERINTENDENT OF INSANE
 ASYLUM.

Dr. Joshua Miller was today appoint ed by Acting Governor Murphy as Superintendent of the Insane Asylum, vice Dr. J. c. Toney, resigned. Before leaving Governor Irwin had appointed Dr. F. A. Winslow, of Illinois, but after visit here Dr. Winslow declined the position.
 Dr. Miller is an old acquaintance of Governor Tritle, and also of Governor Murphy's, he having resided at Prescott for nearly three years past. He is 45 years of age and graduate of the Uni. versity of Michigan, and has been in active professional practice for twenty years. For six years he held the professorship of Orthopedic Surgery in the University of Kansas City. He has treated insane people in private hospitals and in many individual cases although he does not claim to be g specialist in that line. His ripe and varied experience, however, fit him pe- culiarly to fill this position.
 Dr. Miller and wife came in from Prescott on yesterday mornings stage, and return this morning to arrange their affairs in Prescott before assuming the duties of his new office, which will be in from two to three weeks. The doctor will bring his wife with him and to. gether they will materially add to the society of Phoenix. May their stay with us be long and pleasant. The asylum could hardly have found a better super intendent.

THE editor of the Arizona REPUBLICAN ants section in the constitution tax ing the old maids when that Territory becomes State. As the editor of the REPUBLICAN happens to be a bachelor on the shady side of forty, it looks as if he was taking an unfair advantage of his editorial influence to force some fair maid to accept the fate of an editors wife. However, there is aaid to be a considerable woman suffrage sentiment in Arizona, and it may be that when the smoke of battle has cleared away the editor will discover that he "wasn't in it," so to speak, and that the old bachelors will have to pay the tax as they do in Wyoming, where the men keep house and the women attend to the voting.--St. Joseph Gazette.
 No doubt but what this will be just our luck.

PRESCOTT'S FOUR GRAND JURIES.

The late term of the United State: Court at Prescott has made record on grand juries that will be hard to beat.
 The first grand jury, after being in session some time, were much to their surprise discharged by the court upon the statement by the Unite States District Attorney that there was no fur. ther business before them.
 Within a very short time, however, the United States District Attorney con. cluded that enough business had accu. mulated to authorize the calling of another grand jury, and grand jury No. 2 was called.
 After several days session it brought in several indictments and was dis charged. Among other indictments was one against Henry Tuning, that the attorneys for Tuning attacked on the ground that it bad not been legally drawn, and the United States District Attorney must have been convinced or been advised that it was not good in- dlctment, for he asked for grand jury No. 5, and No. 6 met and in the course Of few hours returned an indictment against Tuning, supposed to be in proper form and No. grand jury was discharged.
 On the same day, however, and much to the surprise of the bar, grand jury No. 4 appeared, and on looking over it and making inquiries, it was found to be only areassembling of the discharged No 3 grand jury.
 The attorneys for Tuning in some way got an idea of what was up, and
Arizona republican., 1891-08-27

objected to the reassembling of No. 3 if it in any way referred to their chent MI. Tuning, However, No. 8 were again closeted with the United States District Attorney for short time and again discharged.
 It leaked our afterwards that there had been failure to write the names of the witnesses on the Tuning indict' ment, and to cure that, No. 8 had again been called. We understand that after a grand jury has once been discharged, that the only legal way to correct any error would have been to have impan- elled new grand jury.
 The errors, to speak mildly oi the United States District Attorney in con nection with this Tuning case, as well as of several others, has caused a very considerable adverse comment among the members of the bar of that district and apparently with just cause.

LITERARY NOTES.

Ward McAllister thinks he has been cheated by his publishers, but it was the people who were cheated in his book x
 Still, even after physical restraint has been faithfully persevered in for long periods, many of those who have been subjected to it resume the habit of getting drunk soon after they are set at liberty. They do this simply be- cause they want to. Drunkenness is mode of enjoyment to them. They either do not believe it to be injuri-, ous or, if so believing, they drink and knowingly take the consequences. Not long ago a patient said to me: Doctor, you may lock me up and surround me by guards when l am out, and you may advise me all you please, and you may continue this system of treatment for ten years or more; and when you stop it and l pass from under your charge 1 will get drunk. shall do so because l like to get drunk. l am free citizen of this country, and l have right to get drunk if l ion it may be stated that many ptlSOuS lO uIlHh IO tA- cess because they believe they have a moral right to do so if they choose and they feel that it is an outrage upon their personal liberty to subject them to restraint. As to moral suasion, the third of our means of cure, it is mainly successful with those unfortunate but intelligent persons who strongly desire to be cured. It is with these that the advice of physician in whom they have confidence, the encouragement that he is able to give them and his charity toward their failings which his knowledge of human nature gives him, prove most successful. These are the patients to whose honor we can trust with the most confidence and these are the ones who are most generally cured. Worth American ReuieW.

NInrEsnen.

The Sardar Has Some Fun with English
Mnrllsmen.
When Maj. Lumsden was in Afghan
istan, says the Christian Union, the
sardar or kanda bar expressed q desire
one day to see the rifle practice of the
English. In the course of the shooting
he saw some sparrows' heads shot off,
and, while expressing great astonish-
nent at the feat, remarked that it was
much more difficult to shoot at Il hens
egg and smash it than to knock OFF any
number of sparrows' heads. The major
and his friends laughed at this nice diff
ference, but the sardar was determined
that his assertion should at once be put
to the test, and accordingly ordered one
of his attendants to fetch an egg and
suspend.it against the opposite wall OF
the court. This being done, firing was
commenced by the English, and, to
their aInaZemcnt, after some dozen
shots the egg was unframed. Tho sar-
Oar and his attendants maintained their
gravity, and every moment volunteered
some excuse for the miss, as each bullet
failed to smash the egg. Presently, by
accident, 4 ball happened to sever the
thread by which it was suspended and
down fell the egg upon the pavement
below, but to the establishment of Mai.
Lumsden and his friends did not smash.
The trick was now apparent, and they
joined the sardar and his friends in a
hearty laugh at the deception. The
heir apparent had prepared the egg by
having its contents blown out through
n hole at the end. The empty egg she'll
as light as feather, was pushed aside
by the wind of the bullet and could not
