The Fourth ofJuIy Excursion.

' Tie Fourth of July excursionists returned on Wednesdays regular train instead of by special in the early morning, as was intended. he delay was occasioned by the trsis on the A. & F. being delayed fourteen hours.
 Everything passed of very pleas hoslF during the trip. The party srrige ed at Williams on Monday. .:,s. 4th about 10 o'clock, and were '..L what disappointed to find that tAe accommodations which had been promised had not been proyi- de.t- Considerable difficulty was expefienced in obtaining accommo- daiIons, as the excursionists nearly tqiis led the population of the pros perclIs and thriving town. It was Williams first attempt at a general celebration Of the Fourth. and her citizens entered into it with con .-desable enthusiasm and patriot is.il.
 I's grounds where the celebra- @<-- was held was ;n a beautiful ky.' grove about one-half mile from 'ef town. The programme of the s.sv,! sport consisted of music and i..H~lry exercises usual on occasions D: tiis kind, after which there was ii''r-" racing, foot racing, fat mems

During an iutermission at noon, however, lunch, consisting of two fine barbecued steers, three sheep, and one hog, together Wlth other paiatable eatables, were served. The interest of the excursionists was principally centered onthe base ball game, and the visiting team sue cee1ed in getting away with the prize of Sl0O, beating the Williams team by a score of9 to 0.
 A very creditable display of fire works was given in the evening, after which there was a dance given at the new opera house.
 While there was some friction be- tween the two base ball teams, which was not calculated to increase the pleasure of the occasion, the citizens of Williams generally were very cordial and courteous to the Prescott visitors, and Dr. Geo. F. Thornton and his son, Geo. F. Thornton, and C. E. Boyce and others whose names were not learn ed, placed many of the Prescott party under special obligations for courtesies extended and for the hos pitality shown by them.
 On Tuesday morning most of the party went to Flagstaff, where they met with royal reception, by the hospitable ladies and gentlemen of that beautiful town. They were met at the depot by the brass band and by a committee of ladies and gentlemen, and within a very short time after their arrival every mem Der of the party had been assigned to a good comfortable room, either in the hotel or private family, while a sufficient number of rooms to accommodate as many more had been placed at the disposal of the committee. Teams were also in waiting to convey portion of the party to the ancient cliff dwellings. Flagstaff had already expended a portion of her patriotism by cele- bration on the Fourth, but had a good reserve fund left for the fifth, and there was very interesting programme of sports for the after noon. The base ball game resulted in defeat for the Prescott nine, by the Flagstaff club, but the disap- poiAtment of this was more than compensated for by the royalty hos pitable manner in which they were treated during their visit by their opponents on the diamond, and the boys really enjoyed their defeat better in Flagstaff than their victory in Williams. To enumerate the citizens of Flagstaff to whom the Prescott party were under special obligations for courtesies would be to publish a directory of the town. G. A. Bray and E. s. Clark were on the committee to provide accom- modations for their visitors, and the complete success attending their efforts can be attested by every one of the Prescott party, all of whom were provided with comforta- ble accommodations during their visit.

 Reading circles seem to loo all the age now among young people of
 very clSSs. Ia6iI multiplication, unlike many other successfulsnsttu- lions, is not due altogether to the iact that the idea is a fashionable one, for fashion and study hardly go hand in hand They arc horses of different breed, different color and different proportions, and it is sell dom that they can, from a compara- i've standpoint, be made to labor to- gether. The necessity of education which is daily iInpressing itself more and more upon the youth of our ames Is the cause responsible for their existence. The benefit that the studious one derives from them is obviously great. 4 man reads a book and carries out of it a certain number of ideas. His knowledge of that book Is not as great as if he re- ceived the ideas of thirty readers of it, each of whom views it differently to some degree.
 This is the argument the young people make in favor of this pros porous institution, and a little refiec- tiou will show that it is not a bad one. I dropped in during the exercises of one of these circles during the week. Young men and women, the maxi mum of whom was twenty-three, were laboring industriously over the French rebellion, and the way that they arranged the facts, throwing in detail while keeping clear and upper most the main ideas, was something marvellous They had been colabor- Ing for just one year and had in that time reviewed and studied American history and a dozen works of differ ent standard authors.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Loves Demand.

A man did woo a maiden fair, With lovely eyes and golden hair; He swore to her he would be true, For her there was nothing he would
 not do. With loving gaze and expectant eyes, She told him that to gain the prize A hat from Mrs. Blaine she must
 possess, Or life would be but wretchedness. He bought her beauty in every re-
 spect, It was simply elegant yes quite
 select; She married him then without more
 ado, And they loved each other and the
 little hat too. Al1-1m
