Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
 There is postmaster in little town not far distant, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago. says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed oIt 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than g cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With a malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: T suppose can get a one-cent stamp here for penny, can't IF" Certainly" sts.d the man at the window. ''Then give me a one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and We're impatiently wait ing their turn at lue window, but the obdurate buyer Kept On gravely buying one-cent stamps un the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of 10 avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd.

EXCURSIONS TO THE GRAND
 CANYON.

On July 16 and every alternate Thursday to and including September 10, 1896, the $. F., P. & P. railway will place on sale round trip tickets from Phoenix to Flagstaff at one fare for the round trip. The limit will be for thirty days, enabling parties to take advantage of long trips to the Grand canyon of the Colorado river. First class stage accommodations, includ- ing meals and guides, can be secured at Flagstaff. This will afford an oppor- tunity to people of Arizona to visit one of the grandest wonders of the world. It is claimed that people from other states and territories take more interest in this trip than our own resi- dents. Arizona people should know more of their own territory. Here is their chance and at a less expense than ever before For particulars call on or write B. W. Gillett, general agent, Phoenix.

Kleptomania.

To believe a French writer, there are no fewer than four thousand women caught every year in stealing during their shopping expeditions, habit eu- phoniously styled kleptomania. The number of titled ladies seized with this strange malady while examining the fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred- ible. Among the most recent culprits were Russian duchess, a French countess, an English duchess and the daughter of reigniug sovereign. As a rule, these distinguished offenders are let off on the payment of round sum for the relief of the poor; when the shoplifter is known to be rich, the sum extracted rises to as much as ten thousand francs. The police authori- ties consent to this sort of conformation.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay a vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly. thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar Armada, and hestruggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopol:sts were far too numerous. and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com merclal adventure, whether it be called piracy or a heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

as possible. and that as there is mo
hope for legislation of an economic or
