along in their regular order, and e..
deayor to get through with our business
as soon as we can 1t seems to me that
we are all fully prepared to debate thi'
matter. Every senator here has made ur
his mind and is as ready TO vote on this
question now. as he will be in three
weeks time. Anything that we may say
ON the question Is more for the benefit oi
people outside than in the hope of chang
ing the opinion Of any of our colleagues
here. j hope that this resolve Will be
taken up in its regular order tomorrow
morning.
Mr.. Higgins of York: The senators
have universally agreed upon the fact that
this is very important measure. II
seems to me that they cannot then insist
upon the immediate consideration OF 1t.
II is not for us to say what consideration
this matter has received at the hands
of an Independent branch. 1t is oar
duty to consider it very carefully. anc
with great deliberation. The committee
on reform school arranged some time
ago to make their visit to that institution
tomorrow. That takes at least five sena-
tors from this Senate, and still these gen
tlemen press for the consideration Of this
very important matter tomorrow. We
do not wish to have this resolve railroaded
through in this way. / have asked that
it be assigned for Tuesday Of next week.
Such request as this has never been
denied, even when based on no other
ground than as a matter of courtesy.
Now, hr. President. II all matters that
come up are to be considered at once are
we to stay all the time until they are con
sidcrcd2 Are we to sit in continuous ses-
sion until we have considered all the
matters that come up from the House?
ann not prepared TO speak today on the
merits OF the case; l speak under very
unfavorable circumstances, with very
sore throat, and / say that merely as .
matter of courtesy this matter should be
assigned for Tuesday Of next week.
On the motion being put II voted in
the affirmative and 10 III the negative.
The motion was therefore lost, and to-
morrow morning assigned for the second
reading Of the resolve
The following bills, petitions, etc. were
presented and referred:

he has made himself master of all its in
tricacies. But what we want to insist upon
is that the grammar in the first instance
should be given secondary place. The
method we have thus briefly sketched d
serves to arrest the attention and interest
from the outset, and it robs the study of
the nature of task, which is distasteful to
most people who have lost their early en-
thusiasms. One very important consider
alton is that all this may be done in those
odd moments of time which the busiest
man has at his command. There need be
no question of sitting down as it were to
the performance of an unpleasant duty.
When that feeling is present, it is rare that
much good work is accomplished. There
should be IA resolve, too, to do something
every day. If an honr cannot be spared
then an odd five or ten minutes should
not be lost. However little may be at.
tempted, it should be steadily perse-
vered in. To learn foreign language in
this manner is a pleasurable exercise; to
attempt the task according to the old
methods is a dreary drudgery which repels
the mind and too often ends in failure

THE ARIZONA KICKER.

Saturday of last week there was meet
ing in this town of the Female Immigra
ton Society, and business of much impor
tance was transacted This society was
formed about two years ago with the OBJ
jcct of inducing marriageable females in
the overcrowded East to come to Arizona
and take their pick of husbands and helr
to settle up the country. Up to date, as
was reported at the meeting, only two fe
males have been coaxed along. One was
a sawed off woman of 40, weighing some
thing less than a ton and wearing -four
kinds of bleached hair, and the other was
for the neck of giraffe which had gone
astray Neither of them found a husband
and the society had to pay their fare back
to Indiana
1t has been determined to proceed on a
different system in the future. Next week
Major Bond, president of the society, will
go to Massachusetts, which state has 1S7,-
800 more women than men. The major is
Il business man. He will go from town to
town, and round up all the widows, old
maids and slightly young girls and deliver
an address. In that address he will speak
of the climate, soil, sunshine and riches of
old Arizona. He will touch upon the
scenery, mention the eXhilarating effect of
mountain ozone, and gradually lead up to
man who wants wife, but hasn't time
to 90 East and waste six months in foot
ing around.
He will describe that man as goodnatur-
ed, big hearted and the kind that makes a
loving husband. His address will be fun
ny, pathetic and full of interest At the
close he will ask every female who wants
to be loved and cherished and hugged and
looked upon as an angel to take railroad
ticket from him and start for this section
of Arizona by fast train. Some of the fe-
males will blush and giggle and pretend to
be shy, but others will stand up to be
counted and then make for the depot
The Kicker has been asked to use its in
iuence in this matter We are ready and
willing. This territory can provide 10000
women with tirst-rate husbands. None of
them may part his hair in the middle,
know how to waltz or tie four-in- hand,
but for plumb upand-down men they can't
be beat. They want wives to help them
make homes, and the women can't come
too quick or too fast. 1t should be under
stood, however, that our bachelors and
widowers are not signing for anything and
everything. Silly old gals, bleached blondes
and grass widows may have to hang around
for some weeks before they step off. The
stages running from the town to the rail.
road passes the Kicker office twice per day,
and we shall hereafter be ready to well
come all female emigrants who may put
in appearance. Come one, come all. 1t
is the opportunity of life time, and may
never occur again.

THE LEARNING OF LANGUAGES.

We do not pretend in this short article
to enter into Il scientific dissertation on
the acquisition of languages, but rather to
convey IA few simple hints to those who
are interested in the subject. There can
be no doubt us to the benefit that may be
derived from the study of Il foreign ton
que. 1t is, in the first place, an excellent
mcmorv-trainer. In these days of light
reading and frequent skimming, we find
the unfortunate habit of mind-wandering
more prevalent than ever. People do not
have time to study, and i'll many cases they
do not have the inclination to take a
minutely into the meaning of what they
read. This habit tends to Superticiality
in everything \ great deal is glanced
over, merely to entertain or pass the time,
but very little is remembered, and there is
absolutely no gain, either in the acquisi
tion of information or in the power of as
Similation and discrimination The minds
of such individuals are like Il sieve which
allows all the finer material to pass, leav-
ing only the droSS which is tit for nothing
but to be thrown away.
Now the effort required to be eXerted in
learning a language does Il great deal to
counteract this fatal habit 1t siren gthcns
the concentration, and compelS attention
to what is being read. In ordinary read
ing, one may glide along smoothly enough,
Skimming the printed page before him. and
get the general hang" of the tale, article,
speech, or whatever it may be; while at
the same time the mind is ever and again
wandering off into Il reverie about some
totally different thing. But there is less
chance of this taking place if the learning
of a language is being engaged i'll. In the
latter case the mind is not allowed to cs- |
cape from the control of the will. If it
does, it is sure to be brought up, as with a
jerk, and impelled to concentrate its whole |
power upon the subject in hand. This has !

4 GOOD APPETITE.

Always accompanies good health and an
absence of appetite is an indication of
something wrong. The loss of rational
desire for food is soon followed by lack of
strength, for when the supply of fuel is
cut off the fire burns low! The system
gets into low state, and sIiHblc to Sc
we're attacks of disease /The universal
testimony given by those, who have used
Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to its great merits
in restoring and sharpening the appetite,
i'll promoting healthy action of the di-
gestive organs, and as a pufitier of the
blood, constitutes the strongest recon-
mendation that can be urged for any med
icine. Those who have never used Hoods
Sarsaparlla should surely do so this sea-
son.
