Ten Dollars Bnys a Man's Life.

At Monte Carlo few days ago, writes
Henry Hague, was witness Of the fol.
lowing peculiar incident: was seated
at table in the cafe of the Paris hotel,
which sdjoins the casino, with group
of tourists, when a haggard aud dis.
heveled Frenchman entered hurriedly,
called for a glass of absinthe, and seat.
ing himself proceeded to write vigorously
on sheet Of note paper in front of him.
My attention was attracted by his ap-
pearance and evident nervousness, and
my Interest was deepened whea l saw
him take from his pocket a gold plated
revolver. He examined the weapon very
carefully, as though he contemplated
using it and wanted to see that it was in
proper order, then hastily put it back in
his pocket and resumed his writing.
BY this time the attention of the whole
group had been attracted to the mas
especially as they saw him remove the re-
volver from his pocket and toy with it
nervously. A stout, Aorid Englishman
sat near me. He leaned over and whis-
pered to me; "My deah fellah, the chap
means to do away with himself, take
it," Then, before / could reply, he
quickly turned to the Frenchman and
said: "You wish to sell that weapon,
sir1"
The Frenchman drew back in aston
ishment. He gazed in amazsment at the
Englishman and hesitated as If he had
been insulted. Then there apparently
ensued revulsion Of feeling, for a smile
overspread his haggard face as he ex-
claimed, with a shrug of the shoulders:
''If you wish, SIR"
He placed the revolver mechanically
upon the table and picked up the gold
$40 piece laid down by the Euglishman.
Then he drank his absinthe with SEEM
ing satisfaction. He frightened up. His
entire manner underwent change. A
few minutes later he walked leisurely out
Of the cafe and we saw him again enter
the casino. The Englishmap and myself
concluded to follow him. We were sur
prised to fnd on entering that luck was
evidently with him, for small pile of
gold and silver lay before him on the
roulette table. We learned later from
one Of the attendants that he had won
S240.

lie loved his child and would have done
almost anything to make her happy, but
he could not, even for her sake, consent
to become recoDciled TO any member Of
the Jennings family. SO he saw her
droop and fade, aud while his heart
ached for her, his pride and hatred held
him back from doing that which he
knew would bring her happiness and
health.
It was late one evening when Joel
Jennings came riding by, aud when just
opposite Daniel Hopkins's front gate his
horse SHE'D aud threw him of. Daniel
and M'liss saw him fall, but supposing
he was not hurt they waited for him to
rise. They waited for some time, and as
he did not move they went to him. He
did not breathe, and M'liss brought water
and bathed his face. All Of the hstred
that had rsnkled In Daniels heart for
twenty years died out in second when
he saw the object of it lying helpless at
his feet, and his only thought was of
how he could relieve him.
Joel revived a little after time, and
Daniel and M'liss carried him into the
house.
'Shall we send for a doctor7" Daniel
asked.
"No, it's no use. Pm hurt past any
doctors help"
'But it 'ud be best to fetch i'm any
how" Daniel persisted, and so Miss
started off to bring him.
For some time after she had gone the
two men were silent. Then Joel reached
out his hand, saying:
"Daniel, the eend's nigh, an l can't
think o. goin' with that old trouble
bout ther claim weighin' me down. l
may hev wronged you, an Pm willin' to
acknowledge l did, enyhow. We've
been miserable fer twenty years on ac-
count of it, an now we're maxim our
children miserable, too. I'm willin' to
make up and let the children marry an
have this Ian between 'em. They'll be
or comfort to you an you'll be happy in
seein' them happy. Air you willin' ter
fergit an fergiveY"
"Yes," Daniel said, clasping the out
stretched hand, ~ am willin' to let ther
past go an begin over agln. Whoever s
in the wrong, we no right to make the
children's lives as miserable as our own
has been."
When Miss came back her quick eye
told her what had taken place, aud her
heart bounded with joy.
The doctor gravely shook his head
after making an examination, aud said
Joel could not last long. Paul was sent
for at once, and arrived in time to see
his father and become M'liss's husband
before death came to JOEL
The young couple went to live on the
troublesome old claim, and they made
of it one of the happiest homes in all the
settlement. Daniel lived long enough
to learn to love Paul as he did M'liss,
but he never knew that it was Paul who
paid off the mortgage to Smith.-Detroit

THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.
We are wandering hither and tbither.

We are wandering hither and thither.
Along through the journey Of life,
And we pause in the valley Of pleasure
And climb the steep mountain Of strife;
We are basking betmes in the sunlight,
With hearts and with faces aElow;
But the day becomes mute with the even,
And streams have a musical flow,
There are lessons to learn while we journey
Be sunny or cloudy the way;
And It's oft what we gain in the morning
We lose ere the close of the day;
So the days come and 20, and the shadows
Still wear the same mantles of gloom;
Yet the joys are as bright tho life's dial
Be pointing beyond the fair noon
o the days and the years change so littlei
The scenes so UNMARRIED in hue;
Though we question the why and the where
fore,
We change not our standpoint Of view:
II wen look from the mount of forbsarance
Across the fair valley of love,
We will see just before US pathway,
Illumined by smiles from above.

THE PAST YEAR.

TIE RECORD OF the past year is one of unparalleled prosperity in the United States. The grain productions have over run in quantity those of any past year, while the meat shipments have been enormous. As the region along the Caspian sea was once the grainary of the world SO is now the United States. Not only this, but year by year, the yield of cotton is becoming greater, and now, we send it to all parts of the earth both in the raw and man. uiactured state. besides the vast amount kept at home for the purpose of consumption. There is, in fact, no year in the past in which strides of progress have been made, as in the one just closing. New industries have developed into enormous proportions i; we have come victorious, out of one of the most severe financial panics ever known and in it the money power oi Europe tested our strength. Our mer- chant marine has grown at a rapid rate and there are few trading ports in the world in which the stars and stripes are not seen. With the push and energy daily becoming more marked trait of the American character, it is only question of time-and short time too till we will not only stand among, but in the lead of the great nations of the earth. Every man should make it his particular duty to demean himself in such a manner, that people may point to him and say ian American" and so that financially the nationality will bear sufficient recommendation of honor in business and other pursuits, that it will be accepted, as the Ro- mans was for bravery, throughout the world.

THE "woLFLEY FUNDING ACT."

We recommend that an effort be made to have congress amend the Wolfley Funding Act, so as to allow sir per cent, instead of fire per csRt; and that the interest may be payable semi annually and at such dates as may be established by the loan commission instead of annually, also that The ter ritorial, county and other indebtedness may be funded to Jan. l, 1893, inste ad of 1891, as now provided in the act ap- proving with amendme the Funding Act of Arizona. To this should be added, an approval of the act of our territorial legislature relating to the Wolfley Funding Act.
 The act of the legislature provides that the interest be paid in gold coin and this has been claimed to be necessity by every banker who has been consult ed. By asking congress to approve the act'of our legislature, as a whole (and we see no objections to any part of It) we avoid opening direct issue with the silver element of congress, which is certain to antagonize any original con- gressional legislation that gives the preference of gold payments.
 The above reasonable amendments are certain to make the bonds provided for in that act available and as the bonds are to be sold to the person, bidding the ieas, rate of interest, it insures the lowest rate at which the bonds can be sold and we predict that with the above amendments they can be placed at four and half per cent.
 Additional amendments would only tend to prevent any action by congress because of opening new issues, that were not considered necessary by our legislature.

A CITY HEALTH OFFICER.

DR. RAWLINGS made few very practi- csl suggestions last night before the honorable board of city council, in re- gards to the establishment of city health office. His suggestions were timely and TIE REPUBLICAN would urge upon the council the advisability of taking action immediately. Phoenix, to be sure, has q remarkably healthy climate, but there exists nevertheless, an imperative necessity for establishing sanitary precautions and regulations. Open ditches, which parallel onr streets !; back-yards, now used as receptacles for garbage and filth; cesspools and heaps of rubbish, all require the supervision and attention of a competent health officer. It is important also, in view of contemplated extensive sewerage sys- tenn, that the city should have some person familiar with matters per taining to sewerage and it's disposal. Natural conditions will not sustain 6 healthy record when the laws of nature are contemptuously violated.
 There is another phase belonging to this health office proposition which de-

THE REPORTS AND rumors from Wash ington relative to warlike preparations in the military and naval departments are of little consequence except as show ing that the government meant to be prepared. Rumors may fuctuate, but in the course of the government there has been no huctuation, and presuma- ply will be none. It may be set down as certain that Chili will comply with the moderate request of the United States for satisfaction or incur the hos tility of the United States. The door is still open for peaceful redress, and un- til it it is closed it would be unwise to predict that war is inevitable. Mean time there has been nothing in the course of President Harrison to suggest any wayering on his part in the patri- otlc policy which has guided his action from the first in reference to the Chilean outrage.

In view of the large transient invalid popula- ton drifting this way, this is an i'm portant consideration. The expendi- ture of $40 or $50 per month on city health officer would be amply justified by the taxpayers. The last legislature passed a statute, any way, making such a position obligatory.

This metal is one of the rarest and most valu- able known, and is used for setting dyes in silks, ribbons, hosiery and other fine goods, The principal source of supply, until recently, has been a small deposit in the Ural mountains, and it has been held as high as Sl, 800 per ounce.
