A COMING METROPOLIS.
The Pioi dresque Town of Yuma. Where
Woman Run Faro Banks.

Yumai What recollectionS the name
itself brings up! Yuma where they
dig for wood and climb for water.
Where there are more MeXicans than
Americans, and more Indians than
either. Where the thermometer
seldom gels above us in the shade"
and where the wicked Yumaite in
school sent home for his blanket.
Where the seat of honor is the left
hand, and the railroad hotel gives the
traveller tender beef steaks. Where the
river is the color of the earth and the
earth the color of water. Where the
steamboats, run comfortably on moist
sand, and the prisoners in the penten-
tiarv keep store in the prison yard.
Where the girls are 'toughh and the
boys are gentle and refined" Where
they eat Strawberries in January and
where the desert blossoms like the rose
Where the rainfall is less in a year
than it is in New York in day, and
where the old men pitch pennies and
fly kites. Where the Indian warrior is
practically peaceful and clean, and
where the entire world seems topsv-
turvy.
Such. according to a World-Heratd
correspondent. is Yuma, picturesque
town situated in the heated corner of
the world where Arizona, California
and Mexico meet
There are few quainter or more in
teresting places than this singular city
possibly for the reason that it is SO
full of paradoxes, all of which exist
precisely as | mention them. While
one hears the liquid Spanish tongue
more frequently than the English and
cultural Apache dialect is heard much
more than the voice of the Anglo
Saxon, the American as a matter of
course leads the intellectual procession.
He is ut present Just humping Yuma"
to use the local vernacular. and has
brought it to the attention of the
United States Senate. 1t has had no
Proctor Knott to laugh it into prosper
ity after the manner of Duluth, but it
has taken up and coddled its most I'M
posing and unSightly features, the
great Colorado desert, and by that
means expects to reach n glory and a
greatness that shall make ST. Paul and
Minneapolis, Tacoma and Seattle hide
their diminished heads as progressive
and growing cities.

Feline Sagacity.


A good cat story, illustrating the
sagacity of the felnes, is told BY gen
tleman VINO saw the occurrence A
cat saw rat run out from under Il
stable and seek shelter in Il woodpile
Tommy followed his ratship and tried
to reach him, but could not do So
Finding that his efforts were in vain
Tommy scratched his head and hit up
on an idea. Leaving the woodpile he
went off short distance, informed an
other cat of what was up, and the two
went back to the woodpile. Tommy
No. stationed Tommy No. 2 at the
place where the rat had entered the
woodpile, while he climbed upon the
wood and began scratching. This
frightened the rat out and he rau into
the chops of Tommy No. 3 who had
been expecting such an occurrence

Lessons From The Army.

Tn the army, with its vague and few
and distant rewards, there may be and
there are rivalries in devotion and
daring. but there is no competition for
place and money as there is in civil
life; and yet the soldiers ideal being
duty. the performance of duty seems
sufficient. 1t is a state of things which
can suggest much to those who are
fond of battling the hope of better
things in us with the assertion that it
is contrary to human nature TO act
from any but interested and selfish
motives. Human nature is u great
mystery, and we have not yet begun to
solve it; but it appears that number
of men drawn at random from society,
ana trained to belief in duty as the
chief good, will keep on not only living
it but dying it. We civilians talk much.
we almost talk solely of our rights, but
in the army it seems that men talk
chiefly of their duties. when they talk
at all, and never of their rights. These
things are true of all ranks; the ideal is
the same from the private to the
general. and it seems to correct all the
mistaken tendencies of the time before
they became soldiers.
If, as Ruskin has fancied. the army
should ever serve us as the norm of the
civil state, and we should come to have
''soldiers of the plough-share as well rs
soldiers of the sword. it might not be
long before we should be told that it
was against human nature TO act
seltishly, and that to be recreant to the
general welfare in any aim or deed
was to be guilty of conduct unbecom-
ing citizen and a gentleman. How
ever this may be, it is certain and it is
significant that those who have at
tempted to dream out a future brighter
than this present have always had
something like military organization
in their ewes; but these Missionaries have
somehow beheld little Of the gayety
and enjoyment which are quite as
compatible with the performance of
duties as with the assertion Of rights.

Magazi1se.

A Little Mixed.

At certain seminary for young
ladies in the East the students of Ger
man are not allowed to speak in any
other language at the table, but one
young lady, more daring than the
others, broke the rule and announced
in English to her companions that she
was mashed" on a certain young
man.
.Mashed?" said the young fraulein
who presided over the students and
who is but imperfectly acquainted with
English; mash, what does that mean?'
oh" spoke up one of the young
ladies. wishing to save her blushing
and confused companion. when a per-
son is very much in love with anybody
she says she is mashed on him."
The girls thought that ended the
matter, but what was their surprise
when the next night in prayer-meeting
the teacher rose with beaming face and
declared: II wish to testify, young
ladies, that | am mashed on the Lord"

of roses" How many please?n "Oh.
a couple of dozen or So" They were
quickly ready and the purchaser was
feeling ic his vest pocket for Il 81 bill

asked. before the bill made its appear
