Don't drink don't be above your busi- ness; don't mistake your vocation ; select the right location; avoid go- ing in debt; persevere whatever you do, do with all your might ]; depend upon your own personal ex- ertions; use the best tools; don't scatter your powers be systematic ]; read the newspapers beware of outside operations; don't endorse without good security; advertise your business; be polite and kind to your customers be charitable; :; don't tell what you are going to do and preserve your integrity"

ANOTHER pioneer has passed over the dlvide-the divide of bleak and barren peaks which separates the two endless eternities of the past and the future. and from whence none ever return with tidings oi that mysterious and unknown bourn. On the morning of the 27th ult., at 2 20 a. m., John H. Marion, editor and publisher of the Prescott Weekly and Daily Cour- Ter, died suddenly of heart-fail- ure. The deceased was an honest man, a good husband and father, a pioneer of Arizona, whose whole nature overdOwed with love and good-fellawship for his beloved land and its many good people, and, more particularly, for all those honest-hearted old pioneers of whom John H. Marion was one of the most noble. The writer of these saddest of liEes, whilst with Tn the prlyacY of hls chamber. willingly allowed the yelling tears to flow unchecked, for he is one of the many who sincerely loved and respected the deceased. The writer tlrst knew John H. Marion early in 1864, at which time the deceased was engaged in mining on Big Bug Creek; and in all these intervening years has never for once ceased to honor and respect him. For his enemies John H.Marion was a good hater; for his true friends, no man was ever truer. . to the blessed law of friendship. As it is only matter of few short days, or months or perhaps years, at most, when the re- mainder of us old pioneers shall be called upon to join you and others, over there, it is meet that we should say: Farewell, old friend and brother pioneer, for awhile only, as we shall meet soon again."
 TOM HUGHES, of The Albuquer- que Citizen, New Mexico, pays the following brief but unique tribute to our beloved deceased editor and fellow-craftsman, John H. Marion:
 "The people of New Mexico unite with those of Arizona in mourning the death of John H. Marion. He was a grand pioneer, a brave man and q true friend"

THERE ought to be law enacted by Congress that would prevent such a contingency arising as the taking of all the editors and em. ployees out of printing office to dance attendance at Court on ac- count of a suspected mutual infrac- tion of the sixth commandment. If this sort of thing is kept up, and the Edmunds' Act, as constru- ed in Arizona and New Mexico, is applied generally in all the states, then the publication of newspapers, periodicals, books, etc, will be numbered among the lost arts on this continent. There would not be enough Josephs left of the craft, in any one printing establishment on the continent, or in the civilized
 world, to get out a readable and re- spectable publication of any kind.

THE arrest of some of the lead. ing citizens of Sterling, Colorado, charged with stealing and slaught- ering cattle, has created quite a sen- sation. There is no doubt but thaa stealing has been on the increase all over the northern ranges for the past year, and the thieves are to- day bolder in many sections than ever before. When an improved state of affairs will be brought about is matter of great uncer- tainty. One thing, however, is cer- tain-time will right this wrong.
