As glance of her he loved was maiden shy,

admirable parts, and famous for his love and
charity that the custom OF choosing valentines upon
his festival took its rise from thence. He lived
about go A. D..
1t was formerly the custom on the of Feb. IA
to have the names Of select number of one sex
put into some vessel by equal number of the
other. and thereupon every one drew a name,
which for the time called his. her, valentine
The custom of choosing valentines existed very
early. Presents of gloves, carriers, and jewelry
were co nmon valentines.
In this country the introduction OF comic valen-
tines seemed for a time TO detract from the sweet
sentiment OF the day. particularly the ILL natured
made the custom pretext for paying off old scores
with those who had done them real or fancied in-
juries.
Personal fobles were buflesqued and ridicuied,
even to coarseness, aud the comic valentine, So
called, is too venomous 10 suggest the SEM
blance of fun.
But the valentine, in some form, is destined to
live as shown in the fact that the interchange of
friendly gifts and tokens never SO general
now.

valentines.

RUSSIA'S UNHAPPY STATE.
Arguments as to the Danger of Lendin,
Money to Her,

Arguments as to the Danger of Lending
Money to Her.
Summing up the facts, says Darkest
Russia, we find that Russian finances
are based exclusively upon the SOL
vency OF the agricultural population
OF the country; that these unfortunate
people are hopelessly insolvent and
are kept in state of chronic starya-
ton; that the corn Indispensable to
their existence is exported abroad;
that they live for half the year in the
air, sleeping on the bare ground, and
Tor the other half in hideous novels:
that they are obliged to sell their cat
tie and to burn the straw of their roofs
IN order to prolong this horrible life.
and that they are physically degen-
Grating and becoming unfit for man
ual labor; that the government. in
stead OF attempting to improve their
miserable lot, blithely continues to
augment its budget in inverse propor-
ton to their insolvency, f1ogging them
Tor arrears until theyraise money at six
thousand per cent. interest: that even
under the most favorable circum-
stances agriculture is absolutely unre-
munerative; that Russia does not pro-
duce single grain of superfuous corn,
and that Encouragement has brO11rht
about such an abnormal state of things
IN the empire that good harvest is
more rulnous than failure of the
crops.
Lastly, that they who lend Russia
money in the teeth of these indubit-
able facts, are not only making a
financially unsound investment, but
are rendering themselves morally re-
sponsible for the untold misery of one
hundred million of their fellow men.

WINTER BUTCHERS.
A Claim That Stock Unfit for Mar
ket Is Slaughtered.

ket Is Slaughtered.
Considerable com plant has been
made by the butchers of the territory,
not only in Phoenix, but in Globe, Tue
son and other places, as class OF winter
butchers, or meat peddlers, spring u
and ruin the market by selling beef and
other meats at much lower figure than
that sold at the regular shops and in
many instances SO low that suspicion
arises as to the quality of the meat
thus passed off on the public through
China resta urants and other eating
houses.
1t is claimed that cattle with big jaw
and other diseases that makes them I'M
fit for sale in the markets are slaugh
tered, while sheep that are afflicted
with scab or some foot disease find
their way to the table and are eaten by
the innocent public.
These wintsr butchers cease opera
lions and leave the regular markets to
look after the trade during the summer,
when ice is necessary and meat exposed
keeps but few hours.
Some suggest that all meat should be
inspected, while many are of the opin-
ion that if all meats sold were exposed
for some hours in the shops or markets
the critical public would be sufficient
safeguard, as the butchers reputation
is always at stake. A heavy license,
equal practically to prohibition. has
also been spoken of as way to get rid
of those irresponsible vendors, and it is
probable that the question will be set
tled by either the appointment OF an
inspector or by prohibitory license.
