Ten Dollar BINS for Curl Paper.

Von DOLLAR Btllo tof Curl Paper
"Put Q nice curl in my mustache.
will your" said q well-dressed man
Wednesday morning Is he leaned back
in chair in q Fourth street barber
shop.
sYes, SIR" said the barber Is he
tucked q towel under the mans chin.
AIu put . curl in it that will stay =
week, he added minute later q he
pulled q couple of bills tot his pocket
and smoothed them on the customers
shoulder. Then he twisted up one
side of the mustache and deity fastened
it with one of the bills. The same was
done with the other. The man was
surprised, evidently, at seeing money
used for curl papers, aud more SUR
prised as he saw big x in front of
each eye.
The barber applied the lather, but
the man grew nervous.
rs that money you have twisted in
my mustache?" he asked.
Yes, sir, 1 always prefer good Amer
lean scrip to common paper or tin foil.
And then" he added, after pause, @it
gives tone to the business"
well, I've had money in all parts Of
my clothes, in my shoes and hat band.
even in my undershirt, but-well, I
never had it in my mustache before. And-
they look like two saw bucks; are
they?"
@Yes: each is ten. Ihave used two
fifties but that's when money was little
more plentiful"
The barber shaved away. and the
customer evidently kept up thinking.
The chair was near the door, and the
faucet some feet back in the shop.
When the barber walked back to wet
the towel, after going over the mans
face once, the latter suddenly raised up,
sprang from the chair and bolted out OF
the door.
Hold on there you-foolr yelled
the barber, as he ran to the door; but
The man didn't hold. He ran up an
alley in the same block.
Then the barber sat down and roared,
while the others in the shop joined in
With him. Il thought he was going to
10 that all the time. Well, I've got
he best of the bargain anyway" He
has got the shave and the Confederate
;en dollar bills, and I've got his hat. -

stamp Collectors.

The collecting of postage stamps is
generally regarded as one of the pass
ing "fads" that, after having enjoyed .
wide popularity some years ago, has
gradually lspsed into ~innocuous desue-
tude." This, however, is not by any
means the case. Expert collectors are
still industriously filling their books,
and those who understand the trick of
it frequently realize considerable sums
for their collections. We know one in
stance Of q gentleman who last autumn
left boxful of postage stamps, the
gleanings of several years intelligent
efforts in that line, with . New YORK
firm to dispose of. The brokers esti-
mated the worth of the collection at
close upon six hundred dollars upon re-
ceipt OF tie consignment. Many stamps
possess, through their scarcity or other
causes, value immensely beyond that
printed on their faces; and the hand
ling of this particular kind of merchan-
disc, although restricted to few firms,
has grown into trade of considerable
dimensions Collectors who have not
studied the history of stamps are often
surprised at the number of different is
sues that are used by comparatively In
significant governments. It is difficult
and expensive to secure complete col
lection of stamps of the Central Ameri-
can republics. Brazil and Peru hsve
all kinds of issues. while even the Span
ish stamps used to be continually
changed. This was done entirely in
the interest of stamp collectors. There
ia a firm in Amorica that mead IN s,,nv,Iv
stamps to these governments free Of
cost, on condition that the issue should
be changed twice q year, and that all
unsold stamps should be returned. The
supply could thus be controlled, and q
fancy price put on the obsolete issues.
The extent of the traffic in rare stamps
can be appreciated from the fact that
these spectators made thousands Of
dollars annually after paying expenses.

Vague Directions.

There are some old-fashioned cooks
who not only never spoil the broth, but
who can not possibly give any one else
the secret of making it. Such was Aunt
Hubby, who often tried to share the reoi-
pes for her pies and buildings, but AZ
ways in vain.
Give ye the receipt for my sponge
cake?" she would say. @Of course I
will, dear. Give me . piece of Paper,
and I'll set it right down for ye. There

But how much, Aunt Huldyw
@Oh, Just . little! Sometimes / pump

At another time . young and pains-
taking housekeeper was trying TO learn
the process Of bun-making.
"A pinch Of cinnamon and few cur
rants" ended Aunt Ruldy's directions.
But how many currants?" was the
puzzled inquiry.
"Oh, I don't know, said Aunt Huldy,
placidly. Here and there . traveller.
You don't want to have 'em look too

When Aunt Hubby il reminded that
the ignorant or inexperienced cook can
scarcely be expected to understand her

Bear and Cubs.

Bear and Cubs.
The surgeon of vessel sailing from
England to Hudson's Bay, in 1872, made
this entry in his journal for July 25th.
OF course, what the doctor calls the
silver bear must be the white polar
bear of Arctic regions.
This day, while sailing through stray
Cling ice, one of the men on the quarter
deck observed, at few yards distance,
a silver bear and her two young cubs.
The captain Immediately ordered the
joily-boat to be lowered, and muskets,
ETC., to be got in readiness; and all
things being prepared, the first mate.
with three or four men, set out in pur-
suit. We were all leaning over the
deck, waiting with the greatest anxiety
for the interesting scene that we ex-
pected to witness.
They had not got many yards from
the vessel, when beheld very affect.
ing sight. The mother, observing their
approach, and aware OF their intention,
set up most doleful cry, and pres
emily clasped her two young ones within
her two forepaws. First she would
look at one. then at the other, and again
resume her piteous cry.
Seeing the men come still nearer, she
got the cubs on her neck and Owed I'M
der water to considerable distance;
when exhausted, she made to the ice
for shelter. This she did several sue
cessive times.
The men who went out for the pur.
pose of shooting her were 80 Justly af-
fected at the sight that they humaneIy
returned to the ship without discharg-
ing their muskets. Still, however, the
poor bear apprehendsd danger. After
getting on detached piece of ice, she
again clasped her young ones with the
greatest tenderness. and continued her
hesrt-melting cries.-Youth's Com

The Cbinaman's Purchase.

The Chinese are not supposed to have
much talent or liking for humor, but q
little story related by the author OF
three Years in Western China" shows
that they are not altogether deficient in
that respect. It may be taken also as
an illustration of the truth that q man
may be given to some form of wicked
ness and folly, and yet be capable of
wise conduct in other directions.
Several of my followers were opium
smokers, and one of my bearers had
contracted great craving for the drug.
He was somewhat disreputable in APP
pearance, but a willing worker. His
baggage consisted of the clothes on his
back, and a small bundle containing his
opium pipe and the necessary parapher-
MALTA for smoking.
On leaving certain village I noticed
that the bundle had assumed larger di-
mansions, but my speculations as to its
contents proved to be wide of the mark.
A few miles to the west of Yang-lin q
halt was called for rest, and the cakes on
the roadside stall were quickly bought
and devoured. The opium-smoker,
meanwhile, sat apart on the edge of the
stone road.
"How is it that you are all eating and
drinking" said he to one of his COM
rades, "and haven'ta single cash to
follow your example?"
The other man put his thumb to his
mouth. and pretending to inhale, pro-
nounced the single word, Opium" at
which tho cmokor cpoila1 ouI 1roe r.:
lent.
On the following day we were sud-
denly overtaken by short rain-storm,
and when the other bearers were search
ing for shelter, the smoker solemnly
produced his bundle, gravely undid the
cover, and preceded to unfold and put
on first-class waterproof coat which
he had wisely purchased in the village
to which we have referred. The as
on the other mems faces,
and the look of triumph in which the
smoker INDUCED, were study.

OUR BONDS.

From private advices we are informed that Governor Irwin is and has been at work endeavoring to foat our Territorial Bonds. Two things have stood in the way. First, the provision requiring the interest to be annual instead of semi-annual was seriously objected to, but when by reference to our laws it wss shown that the interest on all our bonds was ar'- nual, that objection was waived. The second trouble comes from doubt ex- isting at to whether or not the act of our Legislature can be considered ss making the life of the bond fifty yeara, or in other words does it express the option as contemplated in the Con gressional Act, and that the time of re- demption for the bonds, is after fifty years. The question was still unsettled at last advices and.,on it seriously hangs our chance of floating the bonds.
 If it can be satisfactorily settled that they are fiitty.yesr bonds, then the sale is made. Ii fifty years redeem- able after twenty then the pro- spects are very doubtful. Mark Smith is the cause of this trouble and he'd his amendment to redeem after ten years carried. there would be no possible chance of sale. And that was exactly what he endevored to prevent, and for the reason, that it was our bill, and its psssagc was direct reflection on his blank record, as Delegate to Con. gress. The Nogales Herald very appro" priately says:
 This was . Republican measure, intended for the relief of our people, and had It been carried out in the spirit in which it wsn conceived the Territory would now be experi encing the good effects of 6 large sum oi money being thrown into the channels ot trade. Bat mo- this shouldn't be. The Demo cratic party could never allow that the peo pie should receive benefits at the hands ot the Republican party It would be fatal te | thsir prospects. So an appeal was made to their delegate in Congress- and he managed to give 1t Au almost fatal stab.
 It is our opinion, as repeatedly ex- pressed in the REPUBLICAN, that the act of our Legislature approved March 10, 1891, has fixed the life of said bonds for fifty years, having expressly legislated on the subject by providing "and fifty years after such bonds shall have been issued. such additional amounts shall be levied annually as will pay 10 per cent of the total amount issued until all the bonds issued under this act are paid" Thus it is clearly settled by law as to when redemption shall begin and it necessarily becomes part of any con- tract that may be entered for the pur. chase or sale of the bonds. We believe that it will be so held and the gale be made.

 \ In the Fourteenth Assembly the Code Commission" were paid in exactly this way and no question was ever raised. See act approved January F, 1887. Sec tion 8 provides salary of $l5 q day, "which sh all be paid out of the Ter ritorial treasury on warrant of the Ter ritorisl Auditor"
 Section 5 provides that the cost of books, etc., "shall be paid for on war. rant ofrhe Territorial Auditor, as other expenses of said commission are paid. "
 section 8 limits the amount to not ex- ceed $5OO0. but makes no appropriation.
 The salaries and expenses of the "Code Commission" were paid out of the "gen- eral fund" (and as will be seen the law is identical to all interests and purposss) and without any iather appropriation. There should be no trouble about pay. ing the members and expenses of the Constitutional Convention with so plain e precedent. The reyisors of the law of 1887 evidently thought that a sufficient form of appropriation, and it was, for they were paid without question.

THE CONVEN TON.

The Constitutional convention met at 8 o'clock in accordance with the ad- journment of yesterday, and after lit- tie routine business proceeded to form their permanant organization. It at once becaue apparent that fine work had been done, for Judge Anderson, of Pinal, put Rowe, of Yavapai, in nom- ination, and 1t being the only nomina- tion Rowe was declared elected by ac- clamation.
 Mir. Rowe is an old timer in the Ter. ritory. and is credited with more than ordinary ability. On assuming the duties he made an exceedingly well timed address, short but to the point. And if the convention will live up to the expectations raised by Mir. Rowe's address, it will do as much as can req sonably be expected of it. Other nom- nations and elections by acclam ation followed until all the offices were filled, and all this before they had adopted rules of organization-so hungry are Democrats for office.
 If there is any one thing the Dem- ocrats do to perfection, it is the whip ping in of every one of their members.
 For smooth, clean cut work commend us to Barnes, of Pima. That is, when Barnes. of Pima-not Barnes, of New York-has an ax to grind or grudge to pay. Barnes did let Mark Smith get Dunbar incur Dunbar; Dunbar of the Gazette.
 We do not know whether Dunbar goes in as Republican or Democrat, but Mark Smith plead hard for John, and finally Barnes let Dunbar go in as as- sistant secretary. Other Democrats may not like it, but all the same they will come up smiling to renominate Mark when the time comes around. On this subject we may have more to say in future. m.
 One thing should be forced by the Republicans, and that is what is com monly called the Idaho test oath. With. out this oath in it the constitution il absolutely certain of defeat in the United States Senate, and all the work and ex pense will be in vain.
 We give you Democrats iair warning on this question, and we know just what we are talking about. If polygamy or cohabitation is discontinued by the Mormon church, as is claimed, then there should be no objections on their part. It is an oath common for all, and all should be equally able to take it. Il strikes directly for the chastity of thu home and should be in the constitution

PAY AND EXPENSES OF THE CON-
 STITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

It has been reported in some of our Territorial papers that the members of the Constitutional Convention will have to wait for an appropriation from the next Legislature before they can obtain their pay. The act reads as follows:
 The officers of the convention shall receive such compensation as heretofore provided by section ,, which amounts and incidental CT. penses of said convention shall De certified to the Territorial Auditor by the president of said convention and the auditor is hereby required to draw a warrant tor said amounts, certified AS aforesaid in favor of such persons, on the Territorial Treasurer, and the Treasurer Is hereby required to pay the same out of any money not otherwise appropriated.
 The only money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated is the money in the "general fund.-" It would, there fore, be against that fund that the Au- ditor would be legally required to draw his warrants.
 In the United States Congress this is very common way of appropriating, and in our opinion it is not competent to quote the revised statutes, as any thing to the contrary therein could not
