A German publishing firm has recently shown itself to be quite abreast of the lat est notion in advertising and also not to be wholly deficient in knowledge of woman nature. After putting novel on the mar ket they had printed in the leading news papers 8 notice to the effect that certain nobleman of wealth and position wanted wife who should resemble the heroine In this story, whereupon every msrringeable woman who saw the notice bought the book to see what the woman was like, and the work had an immenee sale.

It is said that the word "tory" originally meant robber. It comes from the Irish toiridhe, a pursuer, searoher, hence plunderer. A tory was at first an Irish robber; the state papers of 15s6 use the word, "tories and other lawless persons" Then the word was transplanted to Eng land, where, after the restoration, the cav alier party became that of the tories, the name being given malioiously, with the in- tention of identifying the court party with the Irish outlaws in its support of Roman Catholic measures. Then, during our rev oluNon, the word was applied to the court party in this country.

The insane man, Francisco Cam pino, who startled the recorders court day or two ago by demand ing trial whether they had aught against him or otherwise, was be- fore Probate Judge Wood yesterday for examination. His mania is the belief that he is under sentence of death, from which he ever seeks protection. A few nights ago he got up in the night returning with an ax, to kill his family. He was over- powered and taken to the city jail. His family demand that he be sent to the asylum, as they are afraid of him. His examination was contin- ued. He will probably be commit ted.-Tucson Star

From reports which have reached us, thls spring has been exceedingly disas- trous to the sheep industry of this coun- ty. Owing to the scarcity of feed last season, the lamb crop was not much more than half whatit should have been And for the same reason (scarcity of feed) they were compelled to go to the mountains to shear. As misfortunes never come singly, in the mi lst of their shearing and while the lambs were still young and weak, it began storming. The result is almost an entire loss of the lamb crop, as well as a heavy loss of ewes. This is to be regretted, as many of those engaged in wool growing are not in a financial condition to stand the loss, and it will require two or three fav- orable seasons for those who are able to weather it, 10 make up their losses.

Between this and the other side of the broad Atlantic, in the shape of tourists, commercial travellers and mariners, agents "on the road" steamboat cap tains, ships surgeons and "all sorts and conditions" of travellers, emigrants and new settlers appreciate and testify to the preventive and remedial properties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in sea sickness, nausea, malarial and rheu- matic trouble, and all disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. Against the prejudicial influences of climate, crude ly cooked or unaccustomed diet and inn pure water, it is sovereign safeguard, and has been so regarded by the travel ing public for over third of century. No form of malarial fever, from the ca lentura of the Pacific and the broken bone fever of the Mississippi, to it's mild CT types, can resist the curative action of this benignant preserver and restorer of health, veritable boon to persons in feeble health or liable to incur disease.
