JOHNNY'S ROUND SHOULDERS.

"Johnny's teacher must be spoken
to about his round shoulders" said
mother of leisure who had only
one child. Why speak to his teacher,
thought, who in all probability
has charge of the morals, manners
and studies of from forty to fifty
small children? Johnny is with you
many more hours in the day than he
is with his teacher. Last night he
sat for several hours in your Sleepy
Hollow chair, with his shoulders
curled forward and his book upon
his knees; and your little daughter
sat nearly as long upon a piano.
stool that in no way supported her
back, but which, on the contrary,
compelled her to curve it from very
WEAKNESS. When you have done
your part in correcting the bad hab-
it upon which will depend more and
more the vigor of Johnny's health
and the beauty of his frame, it will
be time enough to go to his teacher
and see that the seat he occupies at
school is suited to his height and to
other requirements of the human
form divine" Low tables and small
chairs that support the spine prop
erly should be in every home where
there are children.
II work is done at a high table, &
iootstool is often an aid in keeping
an erect position. A piano-stoo
with back, or high-backed chat
without arms and adjustable, shoulc
be provided for a child for piano
practice of any length. Perhaps 20,

adopt adjustable furniture, and saw

HONEST ADVERTISEMENTS

Advertisements are not invariably
composed to enhance the value of
the wares they describe. We meet
them of all kinds, and many of them,
so far from appealing to our love of
gain, suggest, if not loss, great trou-
BILE and inconvenience, which only
philanthropic natures can be expect
ed to face. Here is one from a
church paper, inserted no doubt by
some good woman who has done
her best for young person of her
own sex in vain before appealing to
a Christian public: "Will any one
undertake, as servant, bright,
clean, neat girl, who is deceitful, lazy,
and inclined to be dishonest ?" Let
us hope that somebody will. There
is nothing, at all events, deceitful in
the description of the wares the adj
vertiser wishes to dispose of. The
carefulness she exhibits to enumer-
ate the virtues, such as they are, of
her unpromising protegee seems it.
self guarantee of good faith. One
can fancy her saying to herself,
What can say in truth in favor OF
this unfortunate girl?" "Neat,
bright, and clean'-one could say as
much of a dra wing-room grate-and
yet it is manifestly all that can be
said.
Another philanthropic lady recon-
mends young woman as under.
housekeeper, aged twenty-five, ener
getic, domesticated, thoroughly
trustworthy, great misfortune in los
ing right arm but good artificial one.
This, too, is very honest, for if tn,
artificial one is so excellent, the sub
stitution might never have been dis
covered. 1t is always most righ
and proper that any little loss o
this kind should be confessed to-

BLESSED INVENTOR OF SLEEP.
The Human Machine VIII Not Repair
Itself Without Assistance.

Now blessings light on him that first
invented sleep
"The habit Of too late TO bed and too
early rising is one of the causes of nerv-
Gus weakness" says DR.. Selden H. Tai
colt of the state hospital, New York.
Overwork and want of recreation is
another.
Men and women who have been UNI
able to rest completely during the sum-
mer now need more sleep than others;
they often get less And the result is
nervous exhaustion, kidney troubles,
and dyspesia-for which Paine's celery
compound is never-failing cure. Says
William Randall of Mansfield Mass.
II have been subject to rheumatism i'll
the feet for the last six or seven years
and during that time have tried scores
of medicines, but could not get much
relief. at last gave Paine's celery COM

all, must say that | feel quite well and

of my friends who are suffering |

Paine's celery compound, believing, as !

YourHgul wRoNa.poEas.

Glebe has been greatly annoyed for ssNeTal months by a set of bad boys and youths whase reprehensible con duct has gone hhpunished until they have grown Bold and insolent in their behavior. The spirit of hoodlumism fs rife amongst them and they have been guilty of various misdemeanors and even graver efenses; and there ssems to nave been no serious effort made to restrain them. Emboldened by their success in avoiding the penal ty of their misdeeds, two of the num- Der, aged fifteen and seventeen years respectively, in q spirit of malicious mischief shot infc the school house, making a target of the clock which they saiatsered by bullets. The elder of ilie two hopefuls puslied the muzzle of a small 22-clibre rifle through a hole in the door and fired at the timepiece on the opposite wall, but his aim was untrue and the bullet lodged in the wal. His co,npa,lion, inpatient with such poor craftsmanship, took the rife, declaring that he could hit it, and while his confederate held the window sash up, he blazed away and made a bulls eye, striking the clock dial in the center There were several witnesses to the act, SO the identity of the culprfts was easily established, and yesterday, at the instance of John Crampton, trustee, a warrant was sworn out charging the boys with ma licious mischief and they were placed under arrest. Thirty window lights in the school house haSe also iseen broken, but by whom is not known.
 Ono of the boys under arrest also admits having shot the Chinese lan- terms and the swing rope at the Park. Both defendants plead guilty of shoot- ing into the school house and Justice Strong imposed fine of $20 on one and Sl5 on tho other. Friends of one of the boys secured his release last evening by paying his fine. Tn the opinion of very many persons, the sentence imposed was entirely too light.

WHY THE CHA COUNTY RELIEF BILL
 FAILED.

Mv F x Cook, during his recent visit to Phoenix, interviewed Governor Hughes in relation to the Hila County relief bill, which owing to it's failvre te become a law aud the uncertainty in the public mind as to the cause of that failure, made 1t a subject oflively ats cassion.
 ! It appears that Governor Hughes had never been approached upon the subject until Mir. Cook called upon him for information, else the fate oi the bill and the reasons for it's failure to receive executive approval, would have been quickly cleared up. The Governor explained that in the posi- ton he occupied as executive of the Territory, he did moi feel called upon to profTer any explanation.
 Governor Hughes informed Mr. Cook that the bill came into his hands through the regular channel of legisla~ ton, properly enrolled and engrossed. Ile immediately consulted his legal advisers, in regard to the legality of the bill, desiring to afford the relief sought by Gils county if he could do so consistently His advisers wore Col WHN, Herring Frank Heney and Rochester Ford, three of the most emf. nent lawyers in Arizona, and they coneUrTed in the opinion that the bill was unconstitutional being in conflict with the law of Congress providing for the funding of Arizona's indebted ness, which clearly prescribes the char acter of the debts to be funded and the. course to be pursued.
 Messrs. Herring, Heney and Ford further advised that should the bill be- come a law and its provisions be car Sied out, it might involve tho Loan Commission, Gils county and the Ter ritory in a'law suit with the purchas- CTS of the bonds It was upon these grounds Gevener Hughes elaims that he withheld his signature from tho bill
 Pima county was in a position simi- lar to Gila in regard to a portion of its indebtedness, which it was desired to, have funded, but owing to the same objections raised against Ciila county's claim, the contemplated bill for the ro- lief of Pima county was not introduced into the legislature,
 We very gladly puhlish the above statement as several persons connect cd with the i7th Legislature haveaoou charged with the responsibility of the defeat of the bill which it was go ur- gently desired by the taxpayers of Gi!a should become law.

rlNErnur FROM GLOBE ORCHARDS

Our notice last week, of tho fine peaches grown by Mir. Thos. Austin, of Safford, Graham county, melted local fruit growers to compete for the honors, and the BELT has in conse- quence, reveled in delicious fruit this week. We had before scarcely dreamd Of the resources of Globe orchards and vineyards.
 Andre Maurel brought to our sane tum on Sunday, eleven rosy checked peaches which. drew expressions of surprise and admirafion from every one who saw sileFd. None measured less chan 70 inches in circumference, and several, 10 inches, Two peaches weighed one pound, four and one-half ounces, and the eleven, six pounds five ounces. Their appearance dsd h'ot belie their quality the favor being excellent We have never seen peach es anywhere that surpassed, and few Chat equalled, these raised by Mir. Maurel on his fruit ranch north of Globe.
 We are also indebted to Adolph ITaag for a hasketful of lusoioos grapes and peaches, which would attract fl- vorable notice anywhere. Mr. Haag has labored intelligcntly for several years to bring his fine orchard in Globe to high state of productivencss, and is beginning to receive some return. His peech crop, comprising several choice varieties, is very large and ripen io great perfection Mir. Haag has many kinds of fine grapes and by close attention and frequent spraying of the vines, diseases common to grapes have been overcome and tho vines are viz orous and grapes large and luscious. Mir. Haag also grows excellent apri cots, figs, plums and several other fruits. There arc number of smaller orchards about Globe, in bearing for the first time this season, and the sup ply of home grown fruit is almost sui fcient to meet the demand.
