 DEAR SIR:-Is it the proper thing fin our little community for a citizen to rent to people who make notorous use of it for immoral purposes, build ing adjoining premises occupied by a family, and within very few yards of a public school building? And, more over, is this proper thing for school trustee to do? Yours Truly

Sunday night at Fairbank, while walking along the street Gabriel Salci- do was assaulted in the dark by some unknown person who sneaked behind him and plunged knife into his back, inflicting a very severe wound, which, however, was not very dangerous. The whole affair is enyeloped in my stery. The motive of the assault, as we'll as the assailant, is entirely un- known.
 In the column of political announce ments it is noted that MT. J. V. Vick- CTS of Tombstone, will be presented to the republican convention for nom- inatiOn for treasurer of COchise coun- ty. MT. Vickers is too well and too favorably known to require commend ation. As one of the leading business men of COchise county he has long been closely identified with the dear est interests of the people and tax payers. He has served the people most acceptably in the halls ot legislation and in other capacities. He will be strong candidate, and in his care the strong box Of the county will be in capable and efficient custody.
 In the column of political announce ments this week there appears the card of MT. c. s. Fly of Bisbee, who will be presented to the republican county convention for nomination for sheriff. Mir Fly is an old resident of Cochise county, has been in business at Tombstone many years, and at Bis bee, and has wide circle of warm friends. His business capacity is uni versally known. As a candidate he would make a strong run, and as an official irst class record.

although their family and expectations

although their family and expectations
were large. An only child, Letitia had
inherited her fathers little home and
his vineyards in the suburbs, for her
mother had married second time. Her
stepfsther had been Swiss mercenary
in the pay of Genoa. In order to secure
the woman Of his choice he became a
Roman Catholic and was the father of
Nine. di Buonaparte's half brother, Jo-
seph Fesch. Charles himself was the
owner of lands in the interior, but thcy
were heavily mortgaged. and he could
contribute little to the support of his
family. His uncle, a wealthy landlord,
had died childless, leaving his domains
TO the Jes1its, and they had promptly
entered into possession. According to
the terms of his grandfather's will, tn
beQuest was void, for the fortune was
to fall in such a case to Charles mother,
and on her death to Charles himself
Joseph, his father, had wasted many
years and most of his fortune in weary
litigation to recover the property. Moth
ing daunted, Charles settled down t.

pending for livelihood on his wife's
small patrimony. He became an officer
of the highest court as assessor and was
made in l772 a member and later a
deputy of the council of Corsican mobiles

SHCSHONE FALLS.
Phenomena Which Give Rise to Stories
About This Wonderland.

Phenomena which Give Rise to storie
About This Wonderland.
Strange stories are told of phenomen;
that appear at the Shoshone falls. Some
times when the air is perfectly still tn,
spray arises several hundred feet abov,
the walls of the canyon and can be seeI
ON the plains at a considerable distance
Then for days and weeks at a time there
is scarcely any spray at all Often the
whole canyon around the falls will bt
filed with spray, and every bark anC
rock will drip with moisture. Again il
will be as clear as frosty night under
the same conditions from influences thai
no one has been able to discover or ex
plain.
Often above the monotone of the fall
ing waters weird sounds may be heard
can be compared to no other, and again
from time to time a sudden throbbing
is audible. measured by regular inter.
walls, like the beating of a human pulse.
These, too, proceed from no apparent
cause, and science has been unable 10
solve their MYSTERY
At the crest of the highest rock in the
center of the Shoshone falls is the nest OF
an eagle, and for "a years the same bird
has come regularly on the Goth, 21th
or 2Sth of March 10 repair and reoccu-
py il and raise brood of young. Char
ley Walgomet first noticed her when he
located here in 1860. The nest was
standing then, and as long as he lived
shere, until five years ago, he kept a
record of her reappearance. She never
varied more than three days Ill her ar
rival. Since his time the record has
been kept by Others, who testify to the
same regularity.
The spray from the falls carries a
sediment which clings like frost to the
windows of the little hotel and can be
srraped off with q knife. Mr.. Keller,
who keeps the place, says that they
clean the glass every spring by laying
the sashes fat and pouring upon them a
solution of vinegar and salt. After they
have soaked for three or four days the
coating can be wiped off with a cloth,
but in a few weeks the glass is covered
again, as if it was frosted. The scrapings
look like the dust of lime The same
sediment clings TO the leaves of the
trees and vegetables that are grown
around the place and can be scraped oil
the rocks and the face of the bare clay.

Civilized Trn Take 70 Tobaeco a a Level
: boye she Lower Animals.


In IN. opinion ot about four III every
five mel' the essential difference between
man and the iui.rior animals is that
man smokes tobacco Occasionally pre-
cocioUs monkey has been taught "a
drink beer and smoke a pipe-Old Tom
in the London zoo, for instance-but
this only emphasizes the exclusive hu-
manuess of smoking. The monkey is
nearest kin to man and is in full prog
ress toward the humTn state. AS the
ultra temperance lecturers affirm, "A
dog wouldn't smoke the vile weed +"
No other animal than superior man and
the anthropoid ape will smoke. Perhaps
in the civilized white world one man in
five is the victim of some defect that
disqualifies him for smoking. The de-
feet may be tendency to a cancorous
growth, or it may be wife OF a mother
in-law. The remaining four are in the
and the right TO pursue happiness
through a cloud of tobacco smoke.
Lack of opportunity to smoke b with
out doubt the most affective evil under
which a majority Of men suffer. A
large proportion Of men are employed
in offices, stores and shops where rules
against smoking are rigidly enforced.
This is entirely proper. No superior
smoker ever smokes while working To
do that is 10 debase the luxury and to
take of the keen edge of the pleasure
II is intemperance and dissipation. The
most expert wine tasters never drink to
excess, but find that in moderation only
does the palate retain its power TO de
tect the delicate flavor. So with smoi
ing. AT night, after a few pipes or ci-
gars have dulled the edge of appetite, it
is allowable 70 smoke half dozen with
some violence to stimulate a jaded pal
ate, but at other times pleasure goes
with moderation. To smoke after meal
is the imperative demand of the whole
system. Not TO be able to do this is TO
incur endless disorders of the nervous
system, the stomach and the entire di-
gesfive apparatus and sometimes 70 in
vite progressive decay of the mental
faculties. There is no better preparation
for a days work for the smoker than a
pipe or cigar after breakfast. New

Gods laws are never kept until they

Every crown that comes from the

The sermons that do the most to

Nobody is ever awakened by the
preaching of man who is himself hall

Hunger and thirst after righteous
ness is sure evidence that the face is to-

Some people are always blaming God

The principal work of unbelief is to

And the melancholy flow
OF her voice SO sweet and clear,
Rose upon the evening air
With that sweet and solemn prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in theei"
Yet she sang, as oft she had,
When her thoughtless heart was glad;
Sang because she felt alone
Sang because her soul had grown
Weary with the tedious day
Sang to while the hours away:
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!"
Where the trembling starlight falls
On her mansions stately walls;
On the chill and echoing street
Where the lights and shadows meet
There the lady's voice was heard.
AS the breath of Night was stirred
With that music, floating free;
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Wandering, homeless. through the night,
Praying for the morning light
Pale and haggard, wan and weak,
With the death-hue on her cheek,

Wrote the Master on the sandl
And her soul. by Sorrow wrung,
Heard the lady as she sung:
Rock of Ages cleft for me,

On the marble steps she knelt.
And her soul that instant felt
Mercy's healing touch as there,
Quivering, moved her lips in prayer
And the God she had forgot
Smiled upon her lonely lot
Heard her as she murmured oft,
With an accent sweet and soft:

PRIZES FOR GOOD ORANGES
Result of the Work of Judges
in the Interstate Contest.
A Large Number of Awards Made to
Growers North and South.

did Exhibit Made-AwArds
on Lem ons to Be Made.

The Judges in the interstate orange
competition have completed their work,
says the San Francisco Ev.miner. The
judges found that there were very Jew
plates Of oranges that did not have to be
judged, and the immense amount OF
plates to be handled made the task OF
handling very difficult one. 1t was
found that the growers in the various
districts had 80 carefully selected their
fruit that, to do justice, the majority OF
the exhibitors must receive awards.
Under the old system o much less num-
ber of awards would have been given,
and much fine fruit would receive no
recognition, but under the new system,
which places every exhibit Of the same
variety against every other exhibit OF
the same variety, it has been found pos
pible to do justice to all.
The awards ON lemons will be made
public as soon as returns can be received
from the Stanford university, the chem
ical department OF which is at present
giving the lemons scientific test. The
judges on apples have completed their
work, and their report will be made pub
