EDITOR HUGHES of the Phenix Ga zette in retiring from the ownership of that paper says; "This paper has been source of pleasant recreation and innocent amusement to me-" To the outsider this sounds like the bab- bling of a brook as it's waters fall down toward the ocean to be lost forever. To the initiated however it will cause a far away smile to light up the coun- tensnce as he thinks of by gone or "dog gone" days when he too indulged in the "inn ocent amusement and pleasant recreation" till the golden stream of twenty dollar pieces, play fully rolled away chasing the shadow of the dream that never proved a reality.

THE Phenix Republican published its scandalous article about Dr. Dar- lington and wife two days after their marriage. The 18th legislative as sembly passed bill compelling all persons intending marriage to pro cure a license from the Probate Judge and compels the latter to keep book of record of all licenses issued. The object in this was to make public be- fore marriage all such intentions, The Probate Judge has 8 book in which all licenses are recorded. It is open to the public and if the Republican man had referred to it he would have found that he was treading on forbidden ground. Ignorance of Arizona laws should not excuse tenderfooS for the trausgression of them three or four times 8 day.

THE PRosPECToR is in receipt of a letter from Washington in which the information is furnished that the president will not veto a bill admit ting Arizona if Oklahoma is tackled to it. Mark Smith has determined to make @ single handed fight for the admission of Arizona and will have no trouble in passing such bill through the house, but the senate will amend the bill to include Okla lahoma, and the president will sign such bill admit ting both territories at once which will entitle them both to vote for president at the next election. On the other hand, if the senate tacks Oklahoma, which is republican, onto the Arizona bill, the democrats will inslst upon New Mexico and possibly Utah, which will kill the goose which is about to lay golden eggs for Arizo- na. The PRosPECToR has this inform ation from a source which is unques- Aionably reliable, and submits it to the press of the territory with the hope that discussion of the subject will lead to the outlines of q policy on the part of the people that will bring them together for the common good without regard to party ties as strongly as did the election on Dec 1st.

within a Composlte NoreL.

A new amusement is suggested by a
club Of young persOns-siXteen in num-
Der. They are writing a book-a novel.
So far the secretary is having the most
fun out of it, but great expectations
tremble way down in all the sixteen
hearts. This novel is to have sixteen
chapters, and each chapter is to be writ
ten by a different member. When fin
ished the successive chapters are handed
back to the secretary, who, consequently,
is the only one who knows the various
writers. They are all in fear and trem-
bling lest the love making fall to their lot
that being considered the mos. difficult
part to do justice to. There viii certainly
be much amusement afforded by the
undertaking Chicago Herald.

less in its fifty years of wear than the car

Of the diseases that from time to time render
the house SO sad and homeless.

stuff imaginable Should you burn it in the

spectroscope lines indicating almost all known
substances The iron lines would indicate
the wear from tho nails in your shoes. The
carbon lines would come from the coal dust,
and the yellow salt lines would only show
that chloride OF sodium is always present
everywhere. But where you have old wall
papers or old carpets, you can be sure that
some of this dust is several generations old;
and if there he not some bacteria of a bad
sort, and germs of old feyers with all the
rest, shall be surprised. Globe Democrat.

Cave Life in XicAshnr.,.

During the long and terrible siege of Vicks-
burg, women, children and families remained
within the city As the Commandment grew
hotter and hotter, there was no longer safety
for them in the houses. They burrowed
caves in the hillsides, and lived there, prairie
dog fashion, to avoid tine Mimic balls and
bursting shells that constantly swept the
doomed city
There were often heartrending scenes, in
spite of the precaution Of living in caves. A
lady who passed through .ue siege writes:
Sitting in the cave one evening, heard
the most heartrending screams and means
A mother had taken a child into cave about
a hundred yards from US. Having laid it
upon its little bed, as the poor woman be-
lieved, in safety, she took her seat near the
entrance of the cave A mortar shell came
rushing through the air, entering the earth
above the sleeping child, cutting through
into the cave. Oh! most horrible sight to
the mother, crushing in the upper part of the
little sleeping head, and taking away the
young innocent life without word or look
of passing love to be treasured in the
mothers heart.
Il sat near the square in the moonlight,
silent and sorrowful, hearing the means Of a
mother for her dead child, the child that a
few moments since lived to caress and TO
love, speaking the tender words that endear
so much the tie of mother and child"

Human Curiositr in Austria.

A remarkable case Of disease is at pres
ent engrossing the attention of medical
men in Austria. There is lying at the
hospital of the city of Ischl patient af-
flicted with a bony excrescence protrud-
ing from between the lower cervical ver-
tebrae. The excrescence has the form
of horn, is round and straight, with a
diameter of one and half inches. 1t
has grown to length of about eight
inches. and would probably have been
much longer by this time but for the fact
that the point was broken off several
times to be sent to the pathologic insti-
tute of Vienna for examination. There
is no feeling in the horn, the breaking off
of the points, which the patient did him
self, causing him no pain whatever. At
the root whele the horn is attached to the
spinal column it is soft and movable, but
it rapidly grows hard and is like bone at
a short distance from the root.-Foreign

Women Workers in Russia.

The women in Russia do two-thirds of the
work in the country. There ere immense
wheat, oat and hay fields everywhere, and in
August there is great activity in the country
The large majority Of persons at work are
women. They wear short dresses, plain and
straight, and a long piece Of cloth over their
heads, like the Arabs The wheat is sown
broadcast, and if not cut by the women with
siclzles is harvested with the old fashioned
scythe, which has a two pound snead and
broad, short blade. From the snead up to
the handle there is a wooden bow something
like, in appearance, the half of a heavy bar
rel hoop. This bow keeps the wheat, etc,
from falling back over the scythe handle and
scattering. Ihavc never vet seen a man who
would deign to gather up, bind and stack the
wheat or oats when once it was felled. The
women must do this while the men do the
''gentlemanly' work, although | have seen
many women cutting the grain with the
scythe. The neiGhhoTs club together in har-
vest and help one another.
A Russian harvesting rendezvous is quite
lively, and is the scene of a motley crowd.
The old men and young, boys and girls, with
their mothers, grandmothers and aged
women, assemble at daybreak. There are a
number of horses, on which are carried
water, food and extra implements. The
horses, the boys and men ride, while the old
women walk. They always carry the scythes,
forks aad rakes back and forth every day,
and work as long as there is daylight; and
since it is daybreak at 3 q. IN. and not dark
till $50 p m, the hours Of labor are long
ones.-St. Petersburg Cor. New York Mail

Historian Banoroft's Longevity.

Mr.. George Bancroft accounted for his
own longevity the other day with three
reasons: First, that he was the middle
child in his father family, equally dis
tant from the youngest and the oldest;
second, that he had always gone to bed
at 10 o'clock, unless it had been impossi-
BILE; and, third, that he had always spent
four hours in each day in the open air,
unless prevented by a storm. He added
that his riding, of which the newspapers
had made so much, was primarily for
the purpose of being out of doors, and
not of being on horseback.-Frank

Petrifled Monster in Iowa.

The petrified remains of a huge ami
NAL have been discovered near Percy.
Ia, by man named S. R. Dawson. It
was lying beneath the surface on the
bank of the Des Moines river. The total
length Of the body measures, without the
head, over forty feet The head was &C.
tached from the body, and when dis
covered was some distance away from it.
AT nine feet from the end of the tail it
measured four feet six inches in width
In support of his theory that this is the
petrifed remains of some extinct monster,
Mr.. Dawson, in describing the find, shows
that it is entirely unlike the stone forma-
ton in the vicinity. A spar of quartzite
formation was discovered in the locality
where the blood vessels and intestinal
canal should be, and another formation
was found in other parts. The remains
were in bed of dark blue stone sur
rounded by petrified remains Of insects
and other animals. Mr.. Dawson is con
fident that the monster belonged to the
carboniferous ge.-Demorest's Monthly.
