FRUITS OF TUE DESERT,

Cereus giganteus, stately and grand, Sentinel Of the desert in H sea Ot sand, Monarch of the desert none disputes Its mastery in the desert over men and OTutes; Full seventy feet betwixt earth Hn1 sky It raises it's arms to the God on high. In June the royal monArch's crowned With A eoronet which scOrns the grolnd And fruit of royal purple juice Is expressed from the pulp for Indians use; As centuries pass and men go by The sentinel of the desert keeps watch in the sky The monarch of the Acacia race The mesquite tree next claims q place Fruitful in product of the mesquite bean- Twelve bushels under a tree I've seeII- The flower is he choice of the hOnoS bee And the gum is equal to Araby. The palm of the desert takes the palm Of all the praises in poets psalm, Stately and grand 1t rises high lntagliO inlaid upon the sky; The fruit Is also dates and wine, No product of earth is more divine. The sacred olive loves the sand And spreads abroad its branches grand Forever green its type must be An emblem of immortality Asa well known fact two thousand years The fig in history claims the rank over all the fruits and flowers that bank On earth's green fringe on the ocean's shore It yields the most delicious fruit and more It shielded Eve from the gaze of God When he gave to Adam the christening rod. The praise of the vine has been always sung, From the days Of peace when the world was
 young,
 And the Juice of the grape reDews our youth, And is served with the sacred Word of Truth. So no more can be sung of the ruby red wine, Except hat it comes from the God divine. The Palo Verde's modest worth Is sconed by science as bastard birth; But nevertheless it is n child of God, And yields to his praise a pa in pod, Which in life on the deserts iriRhtiul strife Has saved many wear! pilgrims lie Another founding Of the sun A recent baptismal name has won "Ammabrona SonOrea," by TOrrey chased, And never seen by men as they passed; For it buries it's roots deep in the sand And has never been nurtured by the hand of

 The prlckly pear is desert fruit And hedge secure against man and brute. The bloom Of { ne cactus 1s e purple flower, And the fruit is hid in A cactus bower, And whoever the fruit of the cactus loves Must gather it's sweets with steelclad gloves. Two thousand years ago the Chinese came And gave a desert fruit a name "Fu-Sang" the Celestials called maguey, As the plant is called by us today. For fruit and cordage rope and twine, And 1t makes the strongest Mexican wine. But The fruit of the desert more dear to me Is not grown on the land nor grown by the sea; But the mama that comes from an invisible
 hand,
 sweeter by far than the fruits of the land, 1t cherishes the soul while the body goes free It is the Celestial fruit of the life to be-

Such q person IS MT. A.

They were unable to obtain the least iulcrum Tor their lever of blackmail upon him, and they then periured themselves to bring about a scandal and force him to pay a email sum. Even his counsel advised, as an economical pecuniary proposition, the payment of the unjust demand, but Mr. Redewill was too honorable and conscien- tious man to submit, and declared his intention 10 fight it out in the courts, conscious that it would cost him teniold the sum asked of him by the black hearted schemers. It cost him a very large sum, but the character of his cal e umniators and their whole scheme were exposed; his fair name was fully vindicated, and the vampires stole away 10 other fields or hid away while the grand jury was recently in session, fear ing probably retaliatorv measures. The citizens of Phoenix reioiced over MT. Redewill's complete vindlcation. Their hearty felcitations, the flattering press notices and q seranade rendered him were like an ovation to cOnqueror. 1T every subject of the subtle blackmailer would display the stern spirit of MT. Redewill, that fine art would soon be- come lost among the traditions Of the dark ages.-Tucson Enterprise.

PLAN FOR A NEW CURRENCY.
An Alliance Scheme to Establish New
 system of Taxation.

An Alliance Scheme to Establish New
 system of Taxation.
 WAsHINGroN, May l4-The most re- markable bill which has seen light in the present congress is that introduced by Colonel Liyi ngston, the Alliance member from Georgia. It is to estab- fish a new system of taxation. It starts off by enacting that all National taxa ton shall be imposed upon the public currency and not upon the private prop erty of the people. Each piece of cur rency shall show on it's face that it's dedt-paying power IS being taxed out of existence at the rate of 10 per cent per annum- The unit of accounts is to be the mill, "a conception and not a commodity" A new system of deci- nal currency is authorized, to be com posed of nine denominations, but no vignettes of persons or pictures are to be placed on the currency.
 The secretary of the treasury is in- structed to distribute $40 ner capita to each public authority, such as states, counties, towns and villages, during the month of December annually for the purpose of enabling them to pay their debts and current expenses year by year without any other public taxation than that authorized by the act. In case there shall be no surplus money in the trasury with which to carry out the provisions of the act it is made the duty of the secretary of the treasury to cause a suficiency of the new money to be prepared. Existing currency, whether known as coins or notes, is declared null and yold, but as a matter of justice to the holders thereof it may be ex- changed for the new currency, par for par.
 In order that the new monetary sys. tenn may be unhampered all laws in conflict with it are repealed, especially the Mckinley act, the internal revenue act, the coinage act of 1873, and the sil. yer act of 1890.

 CmcAGo, May l4.-What will proba b. ly prove to be a sensational murder was committed in the vicinity of the St. Paul railroad yards at an early hour this morning. The body of the victim, handsome, we'll dressed man of 30, was found in an empty box car at o'clock in the morning and when discovered was still warm. The skull was crushed as if by blows from ham, nor.
 Nothing of value was found on the body except handsome tiger eye ring. There was no papers and up to late hour tonight the remains had not been identified. It is the theory of the po- lice that the man was murdered for the purpose of robbery, or from some other motive and the remains carried to the railroad yards and concealed in the car shortly before the discovery was made.

ABOUT BLACK MAILING.
A High Tribute Paid to the Character of
 A. RedewelI.

A High Tribute Paid to the Character Of A. RedewelI.
 The art of blackmailing is confined to no one portion of the world, and it has
 become a profession whose skilled de-
 voices ply their nefarious practices in cold blood throughout the civilized
 world. The prey selected by these vam- aires is invariably person of wealth,
 prominence and high standing who holds his or her fair name far above riches and would willingly pay good
 round sum rather than face a public scandal that these designing persons
 may weave about them. There are
 many ingenious traps set for victims. and 1t requires no ordinary degree of
 moral courage to withstand the out
 rageous demands made for quiet com
 promise and to wage an unequal battle against the subtle corruption that characteriZes this extreme limit of hu-
 man depravity. Arizona has not been entirely free from the attentions of this species of criminals, and but very small percentage of their work ever be- comes known to the public. Instances are cautiously told wherein complete innocence and integrity have paid the
 forced penalty of their purity rather than suffer the anguish of mind that even breath of suspicion should attach
 to their reputation, and unenviable mo- toriety be achieved through yindication in the courts of law. Bu, once in 9
