 Smallpox Situation.

 Office Of Attorney General
 Jackson Miss. May 30 MT T. c. Keene. Assessor of Lauderdale County, Bonita, Miss
 Dear Sir: Your favor of the 25th in- stant at hand. When United States bonds form part of the capital stock of banks, although non-taxable themselves, yet they cannot be deducted from the capital stock. Individuals are entitled to deduct from the sum of their claims such as are not taxable, but banks are not. The capital of the bank is taxed, although 1t may consist of securities which would not be themselves taxable Very truly yours,
 FRANK JOHNSTON,
 Attorney General.

IL was spring; the wooo was alive with
blossoming things, and a boy and girl
gathered them. Her eyes were like
the purple violets, her hair like gold
crocuses. in sunshine. The brook
laughed only less gayly than she, as he
carried her over its stepping-stones;
and as they got to the middle this dear
little shoe fell off, The stains on the
toe, even now, tell how he found 1t
next day, imbeddel in mud. And she
gathers no more spring flowers.
He places it tenderly on the shelf,
and takes up another with Louis

He laughs. He paid for whole shop

privilege to pay for them. One morn

dreaming. He laughs again. She was
his first extravaganza.
The next slipper, with its white lace
rosette, danced through a girls first

her eyes that caught his fancy.

treated, when her carriage blocked
the way-a mans light question. And
she had answered as a young girl

"Then give me something-anything

Perhaps there was no time for draw

was unusual, that girl; for when the
carriage Numbered off it left him STAR
ing at this slipper in his hand. Poor
girl! her mother married her to a
wealthy dotard before the end of the
season. He meets her often now, a
sad-eyed woman of the world. She
has forgotten much, but the slipper
lives on his cabinet shelf, immaculate.
Carruthers does not think of looking
at them all; it is so long since he has
added to the collection-so long since
retrospection has seemed sweet. He is
seeking for one, and as he puts down
the debutante's slipper he finds it.
One unlike the others-a small sabot
bought long ago in Belgium-when
they, the woman whom he loved and
lost, and he, had selected the pair;
when she wore brier roses and they
went shopping in quaint old town.
He gives little gasp as his hand
closes over it; he brings it back to the
fire and looks at it as if it were in some

UPON THE HEIGHT.

o naturel lead thou me apart
BY stony brooks that rush from windy fells
To rounded ponds where lithesome fishes
dart:
To covslip meadows, where the cattle bells
Tink, inlle, as they swerve with glossy necks
which curve;
Up hillside sproutlands, woke each spring by
bleating sheep
When through the thin wild grass the violets
push,
And loud, in Unity thickets nestlings cheep,
And wood-hsres stand, and browse their bud
ding bush,
Thence to the Height
Oh, lift me from the rock-npped glen,
And lead me softly on through sunken plains,
Where hard-pan bakes, or Quakes, the sudden
fen,
To lands with luscious fruits and ripening
grains;
Then on, with friendly rills, that sing between
the hills,
To uplands sheer, where rest the focks, or
deity nibble,
While young birds MARBLE from their home
stead bush,
And swart cicadas shrill. the summers
treble;
Then past the mountains sloping shoulder
Until we reach the Height.
Lead me, In autumn's balmy dusks,
Between the fading stocks, where Indian
corn
Leans heavy In Its rustling, silken husks,
On, while the bittern's hollow cries forlorn
Sound from the tawny marsh, thridding its
heritage harsh;
Through golden stubbles pass, and pass the
houses gray,
Through apple orchards, out to moonlit fields.
Where shadowy horses turn with friendly
neigh.
Then up the clefts. with iutting Fashioned
shields,
Until we win the Height
Lead me, in slumberous winter bland,
Through perfumed barrens, dimmed with
misty pine,
And by our gulf, on white and amber sand;
.. Then cross salt pastures, grazed by spotted
And arid inland plains, where lonely grandeur
reigns,
To golden western lands, whose cinnabar
rocks distill
Quicksilver fair, and mount the redwood slope,
Where seward river calls to seward rill,
The ridges climb, through brandy copses
grope,
Until we reach the Height.
What silence, what reserve refined,
DweIls on the Height through stormless
hours. Dawn breaks
The plains below, and valleys long outwinS;
The farmstead stirs; the flower, the tree
awakes.
Sing toward yon heavenward spires, ye birds
in Ginning quiresl
Ye homes, now palaoed where the purple
vapor rocks,
Thou tossing wood, incurying restless sea,
Ye marshes, waterfowl, and herds, and focks.
As one, with natures tameless dsrlings, free
Joyous greet you from the Height

A Great Increase of Activity
 Is Reported.

 MInes-Many Transfers.

From the Prescott Journal Miner
 J. E. Osenb burg has just sold one fourth interest in claim, which IS on- ly partially developed, near the Con- gress, for $1, ,0OO cash.
 The cyanide process at the Congress mine is sad to be working very success fully on the tailings from the mill. It is also given out that the stamp capacity of the mill will be double soon by the addition of forty more stamps. This camp, next to Jerome, is the lIveliest h the territory.
 Henry L. Scott, the locator Of the Planet and Saturn mines which were sold last week for $40, ,000, has four men at work on the other two claims owned by him, adjoining the Planet and Saturn, He proposes to sink 300 feet on them, and is perfectly sanguine that he will open as rich, if not richer prop critics than the ones recently sold.
 W, A. Clark, superintendent of the Planet Saturn Mining company, has or eanized force for the development of the two mining claims recently pur- chased by the company, and has al- ready twenty-four men at work. It IS the desire of the company to have the development work pushed as rapidly as possible, and MT. Clark will faithfully comply with their desires. Dr. Peters, who is general manager of the com pany has just received returns from TO- ton lot of ore taken promiscuously from the dump of the mine, and worked at the Yarnell mill. The returns are more than satisfactory, as they exceeded ex' pectations even.
 The last three or four weeks have seen an increased activity in mining matters here, so far as sales of prop critics are concerned. One 4O,OOO sale has been made for cash, and the cash paid. Two other sales aggregatins nearly $1,OOo,0OO, are expected to cui minate on or before September l, as under the conditions of the bonds, pay ment on each is required within tha time. The Last Chance deal has jus been consummated, involving severa thousand dollars, the exact amount no beeing stated. but the purchasers vii put in $15, ,000 for development worl alone. In addition to those which hay been consummated, several others ar under negotiation, with good prospect of being consummated, while score o more of mining men are in this sectiol looking over the ground very quietly ready to pick up something that ha merit in It, and which can be bought O. reasonable terms.

SEASON OF PROSPERITY.
Farmers of Graham County
 Harvest Big Crops.
They Have a Ready Market For Their Products and Are In
 Excellent Condition.

From the solomonville Bulletin.
 The farmers of the Graham valley are enjoying 8 season of prosperity. They all harvested excellent crops of grain-wheat and barley. Wheat is now selling for S1.35 per hundred in cash, and there is ready home market for every grain of it. W. W. Damron, Jr., has been mixing with the farmers constantly for several months buying their produce and hauling it to the markets at Globe, Clifton and Morenci; :; he has splendid opportunity to judge of the general condition. It is his opinion that the farmers are in much better condition than ever before. The prosperity ot the farmer means the prosperity of every business enterprise and industry. They are the bone, sinew. and real life of every commit nity. It is believed that hereafter about all the grain planted in this val ley will be wheat. With good fourlne mills now at various points in the val ley, wheat will always be cash article at good price. The "Bulletin" re-

Babe read hls opinion the next morn- ing and as his mind was somewhat be- logged the previous evening he was uncertain as 10 whether the interview was bona fide or otherwise. The longer he thought about it the more convinced he became that the alleged interview was fraud. Yesterday the conviction was enlarged into an indisputable cer- tainty and then did the outraged Babe rise in his mighty wrath and v.wed that he would have retraction or a reporter's brains would bespatter the sidewalk. He found Dun bar and pro- ceeded to lay down an unwritten law to the editor, who having had previous experience with Kentuck, referred him to the city editor. The latter indi- viduaI was not found, so his brains are still intact.
