NUMBER 25.

At best the Office of the detective is
concession to depravlty. disgraceful
to society because of its necessity.
It involves decreit, outright lying,
false pretence. perfidy. betrayal. and
the violation of the whole standard OF
honorable conduct. Most OF all, conf
dences to a minister of the Gosp Ell
should be sacred. He is a physician
of souls, and if he makes of himself a
detective to expose to the penalties OF
earthly laws the disease of sin revealed
to him in that supremely sacred rela-
ton, he becomes a monster of depra-
vity beside whom the worst OF those
he betrays is small offender.
The only possible defence for the
proceedings of DR.. Parkhurst. if on
any ground they be defensible. is that
he was acting simply as citizen. and
wholly apart from his character and
Office as a Christian minister. The
New York Presbytery deals with him
only as such a minister, and hence 1t
cannot approve of his methods without
accepting them as required by the ho-
ly Office he was ordained to fill. If in
dividual Presbyterians deem his coz
duct praiseworthy as citizen merely,
they can meet by themselves and ex-
press their admiration; but for the
Presbyterian Church to applaud it and
hold it up as an exemplifcation to the
discharge of functions properly apper-
tanning to the Christian ministry,
would be a profane degradation of
that sacred office.-N Y. Sun.

Alta Chinese Banqnet.

A wealthy Chinese merchant of San
Francisco recently gave a banquet to
some prominent New York gentle
men with whom he had business refa-
tions, and many are the wonders told
of the feast. Delicacies which to the
American palate were uneatable were
mingled with the most delicious
viands. Some of them were easily
recognized, while others were as
strange and unaecountable as the
native tongue of the host.
Among the many sweets offered for
dessert were oranges of which the
skin had apparently not been boken,
yet from which the pulp had somehow
been mysteriously removed, half a
dozen sorts of jelley having made to
take its place.
The guests were unable to under
stand how so delicate an operation had
been accomplished, but their astonish-
ment was increased when the next
moment they were served with eggs
of which the shells were apparently
perfectly whole, yet turned out to be
full of nuts and candies.
Then another course of eggs exactly
similar in appearance was laid before
them, and when they broke the shells
tiny live birds came flying out and
fiuttered about the room.
"How in the world is this managed?'
one of the guests cried in astonish-
ment.
"Melican man heap smart" the
host. answered with laugh, "but
Mal;oop MAN M Gpdaa ont ol1a f1ipro

And that was the only satisfaction
they could obtain.

At the meeting of the farme RS club
at the American Institute great cnrios-
ity was caused by the exhibition of a
specimen of 1.-THE Japanese mosquito
catching plant. This plant bears a
small white flower, and the specimen
was in full bloom every blossom i'm
prisoned mosquito, few of which
were alive and struggling. The bios
som is cleft in the middle, and secretes
q Juice which draws the mosquitoes,
and when once they insert their pro-
boscis in the heart of the flower they
are held fast.
The mosquito is not by nature eX-
clusively a blood-sucker, but lives on
sweet vegetable juices. We have seen
them rise by millions in swamp,
where there had been nothing but
vegetables for them until, unluckily,
we ventured into it. But they apply
their surgical apparatus to everything.
The young people who have micros-
copes will find it interesting to exam
inc the mosquito. There is hardly
anything so admirable in nature as the
anatomical machiney that these pests
have, and nothing superior to it in art.
A reporter says: "When the name
and the functions of the plant were
annouccd, several Jerseymen nearly
fell over each other In their eagerness
to catch look at it." Great was the
CONSERVATION in London, few years
ago, when some strange insects
appeared. Investigation showed them
to be mosquitoes;' but ;.''just before
the bells were rung to call the people
together FOR fasting and prayer" it
was found they had come over in q
few bales of cotton and were warmed
out by the heat, but were too weak to
survive. Few animate creatures have
caused more discussion. Each sue
ceeding generation asks, "What were
mosquitoes made for ?" and yet it is
plain they were made to do exactly
what they do. The hunforist uttered
the truth when he said: "Do not
fight with a mosquito; whichever
prevails 1t is your blood that is split"

Nv n White Rose.

The far-reaching influence of little
act of kindness is beautifully shown in
this story. Kindness and sympathy
are what the world needs not criti-
cism and spurning. The incident is
aold by writer in the Silver Cross:
wealthy lady, young and beauti-
full, who had lately experienced
genuine conversion, was 80 overflow
ing with love for the Savior that she
was drawn to visit those who were in
prison.
The day before starting on this
errand of mercy, she went to her con.
servatory, and her gardner gathered
her up a large box of flowers, and
was about to tie it up for her when she
noticed perfect white rose untouched
and asked that it be added.
"Oh mop he said; "please keep
that for yourself to wear to night"
81 need it more just now," she said,
and took it with her on her journey.
Reaching the prison, she commenc-
ed her rounds among the women's
wards, giving few blossoms to each
inmate, with a leaflet, a text and a
message of sympathy and Christian
Have seen all the prisoners here ?"
she asked the jailer.
"No; there is one whom you cannot
visit, her language is so wicked 1t
would scorch your ears to hear it,"
"She is the one who most needs
me.n she answered. II have one
flower, the choicest of all I brought !;
can you not take me to her ?"
Then, when they confronted each
other on either side of the grated deo,
the visitor was greeted with curses
and the only reply she gave was the
beautiful white rose, which was lett
in the woman's cell. AS she turned
away she heard one heart-breaking
cry, and the voice which had breathed
imprecations, moaped over and over
again the one word, "Mother! mother
motherw
The next week she came again. The
taller met her, saying, "That woman
whom you saw last is asking for you
constantly; 1 never saw a woman so
changed"
/ Soon the two were alone in the cell l.,
and the penitent, her head resting on
the shoulder of her new-found friend,
told, with sobs, her sad story.
"That white rose was just like one
which grew by our door, at home, in
Scotland-my mothers favorite flower.
She was a good woman, my fathers
character was stainless but L broke
their hearts by my wicked ways, then
drifted to America, where have liv-
ed wicked life; is there any hope
for me?"
And 30 the dawning of better day
came as the two reasoned together"
Many visits the lady mace in that
narrow room, until she seemed an
angel of light to its inmate. When
the time came for the woman's release,
the love of Christ constraining her,
she went out into the world to devote
her life to the saving of such as she
had been.

The Bowie 6 Globe Railroad.

Sheriff George A. Olney, of Graham county, states that there are about seventy men at work on the Bowie, Gila Valley and Globe railroad with a complement of teams, scrapers, etc., grading the road bed and are out about six miles already completed, and that Contractor Garland stated the road would be in Solomonville by June.
 He reports also that the farmers are busily engaged with their crops and in- creasing the acreage. That the valley already presents beautiful appearance between Solomonville and Fort Thomas di-ttnce of twenty-eight miles. from it's green foliage and fields of grain, al falfa and blossoming fruit trees. "You know" said he, "that the valley for that distance is skirted by the Graham mountains, the top of which is heavily snowcappsd, and the scene that the contrast presents would be a grand sight to those who are ou their way from the east and north to the mid winter fair. Give us little time and you will see orchards and vinevarde that will make you Salt River valley denizens green-eyed."

HOW IT APPEARS.
News After the Process of Filtration
 by the PhoenIx Press.

by the Phoenix Press.
 An indignant and mystifed reader thus discourses in a communication to THE REPUBLICAN upon the method1 of serving news in Phoenix:
 Editor of THE REPUBLICANS:
 Associated Press dispatches sent out from Washington, D. C., February l9, carried the information of the selection of Senator E. D. White of Louisiana for associate justice on the supreme bench. The dispatches said: "The senate had hardly time to recover from the sur prise which the nomination occasioned when his confirmation was announced. In less than an hour after the nomina- ton had been received the senate had placed its seal of approval upon the selection The nomination was received through Private Secretary Pruden about 2:40 o'clock, when Senator Daniels was engaged in a speech on the Hawaiian question. It was plain that there was a disposition to confirm Mr. White inn modiately. Senator Daniels, however, had but twenty minutes more to speak and it was decided to allow him to finish"
 In it's initial issue, February 24, the Saturday Review says: White was a Louisiana. senator and his fellow colleagues in the dignified body were in snch great haste to confirm him that he WAS stopped in the middle of a speech on the Hawaiian question:" etc. The edition of the Phoenix Herald of February P says: "The confirmation of Senator White, of Louisiana depends largely on the position Of the senators from that section. It was a shrewd move on the part of Cleveland" etc. The Arizona Gazette February 20 an- nounces in leading headlines "The mo- imitation of Senator Stephen White, of California, for associate justice:" while the Arizona Daily Citizen, of Tucson, February 20, published dispatch dated February 19, conveying the information that California draws a dividend in the nomination of Senator Stephen M. White of California for associate justice of the supreme court" The facts are Senator White, of Louisiana, supported the nomination of Peckham. Senator White, of California, opposed the mo- imitation of Peckham by a speech be- lore llle seHdte anu bue oaHlo ooHd1ol uO- tended in a speech the presidents Hawaiian policy. Under date February 20, TEE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN announces "the nomination and confirmation by the senate of Senator Edward D. White of Louisiana," which was really fact.
 It would seem that the reading pub lie and patrons of the press are entitled to correct news. Some mistakes in journalism may be pardonable but the blunders this article reveals are unnec cessarv. What IS paper good for any way if those who read get news that is worse than no news?

PLEASING SIGNS.
Everything Points to Returning
 Good Times.

Everything Points to Returning
 Good Times.
 Evidences of brisk spring and sum- mer in Phoenix are daily growing. The most apparent sign is an increase in building which is going on quietly in all parts of the city.
 Contractor Corlett yesterday began work on the foundation of S, ,0O0 lodg- ing house at the corner of Fifth and Jackson streets. It will be of brick, only one story, inclosing court yard, and will contain forty six rooms. Work is progressing rapidly on Monihon and Hurley's lodging house on Adams street, which is now built nearly to the second story. Residence buildings in process of construction are nearly all of a good character.
 Real estate and loan agents add their testimony in favor of returning good times. Among these is Mir. J. w. Walker, who said yesterday to RE PUBLICAN reporter: Everything is looking bright. My business has in- creased 200 per cent in thirty days and it is still growing better. There isn't as much demand for money as there was; in fact there is very little demand. Until month ago many loans were made at E and per cent and even at that rate the applications were far in excess of loans. Now we can furnish more money than we can loan at l per cent.

Pains and Aches,

We all have pains and aches, but they needn't last long-not any longer than it takes to put on an Allcock's Porous Plaster. The only thing to look out for is that you get the right plaster. There are others, but you don't like them; take our word for it, for when you need a plaster you need it, and there's no time for experimenting and finding out mistakes then. Ask for Allcock's Porous Plasters and see that you get them. Ii they say that some other is just as good. tell them that only the best is good enough for you. Allcock's Porous Plasters are quick and sure, and acknowledged by the highest medical authorities and every body else to be the best outside remedy for pains and aches of every description.

An Ideal Home,

The umbrella trees which have been planted in the parks and along the lot fronts of the property of Col. Simms }, out North Center street, attained a splendid growth last season, and prom ise this to do even much better. This beautiful tract will undou btedly be- come the choicest residence district of the city. It is within easy reach of town. upon the highest land for miles around, and offers as fine prospect as can be desired. The lots are all 100x200 feet in area. Each faces the park, where the heavy, shade-giving umbrel- las and ash trees have been set out.
