KNEW ALL BUT ONE.
A Whole English Regiment Made Up of
 Questionable Characters.


 The story is told Of an English mil itiaregiment whose reputation was none of the best that on one occasion detec- tive from Scotland asked to be allowed to inspect the regiment to discover # possible if certain malefactor were in the ranks. Permission being given, the detective, accompanied by the adjutant of the regiment, made tour of the yari- GUS companies, front rank and rear rank. When the official had got to the fast man of the rear rank of the rear company he stopped suddenly andgazed earnestly at the rather embarrassed warrior. Why, you surely have made a mistake exclaimed the adjutant, in dignantly; "why, you have pitched on the best man in the battalion. He has been with us for more than 20 years, and he is our pattern soldier. His arms are a mass of good conduct badges, and he is the example of all that is best in the life of soldier. You surely do not know him?'' 'No," replied the detec- tive, q do not-but I know all the others" 2'

SENSES OF THE BLIND.
The Singular Acuteness of One Who Ifs
 Sightless.

Throughout my whole life, says a blind person in the Argosy, my blind ness has had this remarkable feature in it: always have before my eyes bril- liant light, so that the whole air around me seems, as it were, incandescent. I appear to be walking in light. In this light I can call up at will all sorts of beautiful colors, which I see mingled with the radiance and forming part of it. Thus my blindness has always been for me in a certain way bright ness.
 As grew older there came to me other abnormal peculiarities, which have been mercifully sent as compen- sations. I can always tell when others are looking at me, and can generally tell whether they are looking at me in kindness or the reverse. My sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and through it I can read character in the tones of the voices of men and women around me.
 can also discern character accurate ly in the touch of the hand. I have certain instincts for which I have no exact name, which sometimes make me foresee future events. My senses of touch and smell are excessively del icate.

HOW CROPS ARE LOOKING.
General Review of the Weather and
 the Condition of Affairs.

The temperature and rainfall for the territory were above the nc rmal, the rainfall being in excess of the tempors- ture. It wac slightly below the noi maj temperature in the southwee,ern coun. ties and above in all others. Showers have been the rule in each county of the territory, even Yuma and Mohave have experienced several good showers each week, while all other counties have had sufficient to continue the growth of grasses on the desert.
 Having is the order of the day in all northern sections, and the general re- port is that the crop will be in excess of former years, and that tbe quality is excellent, there having been sufficient rain to mature the grasses and an abundance to mature the growth. Showers have not interfered with hay ing and the curing was successfully &C., complished. In the southern sections showers have been plentiful and the grass has made rapid growth {; having has been general and the quantity and quality are satisfactory.
 Range grass is abundant and of good quality, and will insure feed for the en- 
 water can be found everywhe. Alfalfa ie looking well. but the plant being very deep-rooted, email amount of rain hae very little effect upon it's growth, irri- gation being the better.
 All irrigating canals are bank full of water. and there has been no diminu- tion since last report, and ranchmen have taken full advantage of the fact. Volunteer barley is making fine growth in southern sections, but correspond. ents from Pima county report consider able damage being done by grass hoppers. |

Melons and grapes are plentiful and the second crop of strawberries has appeared in the market together with the late crop of peaches. The only fruits still on the trees are the citrus fruits, and there has been no change on the condition. Oranges, lemons and grape fruit have made good growth since last report and it will be miracle indeed. if the yield, both in quality and quantity does not surpass by far that of any previous year. The crop seaeou ie about over and very little work is being done.

OF FRAGILE BEAUTY.
Our Grandmothers Were Not All We
 Have Been Told.


 The young woman of the present generation who ventures to have a headache or nerves" is immediately confronted by indignant critics with her grandmother. If the grandmothe is living the fact of her continued ex- istence is made to tell, and if she sleeps with her fathers her grandchild is con- tronted with her ghost, the ghost is en- dowed with as many exceIlencies as those with whom Betsy Trotwood en- dowed the niece who never was born. And as poor David Coppcrield was re- preached with the virtues of his imag- mary sister, so the granddaughter of the period is reproached with the ghost ly perfection of her grandmother, who never had headache-at least accord ing to tradition-but who, on the con trary, was model Of physical perfec- tion. When it comes to the testimony of those who saw the grandmother in flesh = that is another story" Abbe Robin, chaplain in Rochambeau $ army during the revolution, wrote of American women in 17S2: "They are tall and well-proportioned, their feat ures are generally regular, their com pleNions are generally fair and without color. At 20 years of age the women have no longer the freshness of youth. At 35 or 40 they are wrinkled and de- crepit.''
 And Chevalier Louis Felix de Bear your, after praising the beauty of the American women to the skies, says: At the age of 25 their form changes, and at 30 the whole of their charms have disappeared" These observers were not mere nasty travellers, but had lived here for years, and their verdict is that the women Of nearly 100 years ago showed fragile beauty and early decline which this end of the century damsel, with her athletic record and her prolonged youth, would scorn.

The young bicycle enthusiasts of the city are having great sport with the 'ftriplet'' and "quad," brought there by Walter F.

The bicycle boys are much i'm pressed with Mir. Foster, and well they might, for lit would be hard matter to find a more pleasant or agreeable young gentleman. MT.

 The young man is much pleased with Phoenix, but thinks it yet too warm to try any record breaking on the track. During his stay he has by his agreeable manners made many friends who will delight in seeing him visit Phoenix again.

Bryan is reported to have sent a telegram to Senator Jones, of Ar kansas, last week, in which he sand that he should not du-ing the cam- paign discuss any other issues than those outlined ID the Chicago plat form, and adds: "I desire above everything else to be instrumental in having enacted to the laws of the United States, free aId unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio of 16 to l without the consent of any other country" The question arises by the latter decla- ration whether Mir. Bryan expects to exercise an sutocratic power over congress the same as President Cleveland has done. He is quoted as saying further along in this tele- gram that the American people cannot afford to surrender the right to legislate for themselves on all questions" With this sentiment We most heartily agree. They can not afford to surrender this right to their chief executive any more than they can to foreign country. Yet NIT. Bryan talks as though he pro posed, if elected, to exercise this prerogative. NIT. Bryan is little ''scary" of the Populist platform and says: "The populist platform presents several new issues to dis cuss which during this campaign will in my judgment endanger sue cess of our cause" He says he is not willing to be placed in an atti. tude of securing help from other political organizations by sacrificing his associate upon the ticket.

 Four years ago the democratic shibboleth was the tariff, nothing but the tariff. They had a silver plauk in their platform, but nothing was heard of it during the cam paign. If the plank was ever men tioned, the mention of 1t was drowned by the din for tariff re- form. 'Only elect the democratic nominee for president and demo cratic congress, and We will reform the tariff laws m such 8 wsy that the country will experience S tidal wave of prosperity. We will give the farmers Sl.0O bushel for their wheat and everything else in pro portion" The above Is a sample of the many proiuse promises made from one end of the country to the other, and despite the previous his
 tory of the party, the voters of the country took them at their word, elected 8 president and a congress and it is unnecessary to state the result. Realizing their failure, snd realizing that there Is a growing demand in the sentiment of the country for silver coinage, they take that plank of their platform as the one all important, this year and ig nore all others. Is the party had ever redeemed a pledge or kept promise it might, with some assurance, ask the support of intelligent citizen: who disagree with it on other ques tions.

BRYAN ON THE REPU BLICAN PLAT
 FORM

Our friends, the democrats, in their wild enthusiasm over their nominee. wildly assert that any one who supported Mckinley must of necessity support a gold plat form. Such individuals evidently have not read the speech of their chief. delivered at Kansas City, on the night of July 18th, as published in the Rocky Mountain News, which is edited by Tom Patterson, a staunch supporter of NIT. Bcvsu. The following extract is taken from the speech as published in the News:
 If the gold standard is the stand ard of civilization, why Is 1t that the United States. the leader of civilization of the world, has never declared for the gold standardi Great cheering and continued ap- plause). If the gold standard is the standard of civilization, why Is It that no national party has ever de clarsd that the gold standard IS a good thingi7 (Applause).
 A voice The republican party did.
 Mir. Bryan-"You say the republi- can party didi No, it did not. The republican party declared that the gold standard should be maintained until something could be substi- tuted for 1t. Great applause and laughterl. Then what was the some thingi It was bimetalism. And they pledged themselves to get rid of the gold standard and substitute bimetallism as better thing than a gold standard. Applause and laugh teri. If the gold standard Is a good thing. why should we try to get rid of itf daughter and applsuse). If 1t IS a bad thing, why should we keep it for a single momentf (Ap- plause).
 If, my friends, they dare upon any stump, upon any platform, or in any state, to advocate the gold standard as a good thing, We point to the republican platform as con- elusive evidence that the principle involved in the geld standard, a single gold standard, and if they tell us that this nation IS unable to sustain It without the aid of and consent of other nations, We hurl back defiance to them and tell them that this nation IS great enough to legislate for its own people without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth.
