Temptation Resisted and Honesty
Rewarded.

A poor chimney sweeper's boy was
employed at the house of lady of rank
to sweep the chimney of the room in
which She usually dressed.
When finding himself on the hearth
of u richly-furnished dressing-room,
and perceiving no one there, he waited
Il few moments to take a view of the
beautiful things in the apartment.
A gold watch, richly set with dia-
monds, particularly caught his atten-
ton, and he could not forbear taking
it in his hand. Immediately the wish
rose in his mind, 'Ah ! if you had such
Il onew After a pause he said to him
self, "But if take it shall be a thief;
and yet" continued he, nobody
would know it; nobody sees me-no-
body Does not God see me, who is
present everywhere 2" Overcome by
these thoughts, cold shivering seized
him. NO" said he, putting down
the watch, 81 would much rather be
poor, and keep my good conscience,
than rich and become rascal"
At these words he hastened back in
to the chimney.
The lady, who was in the room ad-
joining, having overheard the CONVEX
sation with himself, sent for him the
the next morning, and thus accosted
him: My little friend, why did you
not take the watch yesterday"
The boy fell on his knees, speechless
and astonisbed.
II heard everything you said," con-
tinued her ladyship; "thank God for
enabling you to resist this temptation,
and be watchful over yourself for the
future; from this moment you shall
be in my service: / will both main
tain and clothe you nay, more, pro-
cure you good instruction, which will
assist to guard you from the danger of
similar temptations"
The boy burst into tears; he was
anxious to express his gratitude, but
could not.
The lady strictly kept her promise,
had the pleasure of seeing this poor
chimney-sweeper grow up a good,
pious and intelligent man."

serving in the senate, inasmuch as money honestly earned is to mans credit and establishes his capacity as one familiar with business in prac- tical direction.
 The failure of legislatures to elect senators in recent ye5rs was no doubt a potent argument used by the com mittee on privileges and elections in preparing its report. If members of the senate should be elected by the di- rect vote of the people of the respect i've states there would be no difficulty in maintaining a full membership of the upper house of congress. The people would be able to settle the mat ter promptly and without question We believe that the recommendation of the senate committee will receive the endorsement of E majority of the voters of the country.

ANOTHER
MOVE.
Prescott to Have a Western Union
 Lime.

Prescott Courier: We are informed on reliable authority that the Western Union Telegraph company proposes ito extend its lines into Prescott imme- dia!tely. That this is of vital import ance to our merchants and people will be seen at glance. The w. U. Go. will give direct service into Los An ge,es and all eastern points, and the effect upon rates will be very ma terial; as for instance, the rate from Prescott to Flagstaff is 65 cents for ten word message, but the rate will be 25 cents when the Western Union ar rives; also the rate ito Los Angeles and southern California New Mexico and Colorado points, heretofore 90 cents, will be 50 cents; there will also be night rates to the above points of 30 cents, thus enabling our people to send message for one+third of the present rate Newspaper special rates will also be reduced 50 per cent. This reduction of rates will be made by eliminating the present local rates of 40 cents to Ash Fork and by bringing this city into direct communication with the great Western Union system here instead of at Ash Fork, as at present, will give this city all the ad- vantages as to rates and connections now possessed by any of the great cit ies located on its lines.

body of man floating on the surface of the water in a shaft on the Isabella mine in Echo canyon, about four miles from Cedar. The body was nude and the flesh partly fallen away from the bones. A leather belt was around the waist and a new pair of number seven Buckingham & Hecht shoes were on the feet. There was no flesh on the head and face. The skull showed a large fracture above the eye and a small fracture above. the ear No one appears ito remember of any person disappearing within the past three or four months and there is nothing by which the remains can be identified. The man was undoubtedly murdered and the body thrown into the shaft. The remains were buried near the place where he was found.

THE PEARCE CAMP.

Tombstone Prospector: Pat O'Don- nell and Robert Downey have re- turned from ithe great bonanza camp at Pearce. The people have begun to take up homesteads and propose to go to the Dragon mountains and pipe down water for agricultural purposes. It will easily be done, as it is a nat ural grade from the mountains and as for the land surrounding the camp, when irrigated, Mr. O'Donnell says, it is par excellence; and inside of one year they intend to be able to raise all their own vegetables, etc. All sections of country are represented there, es- pcially Tombstone There are three stores, two livery stables, three restau- rants, and all the other lines of busi- ness to make up new camp, and all seem to be doing we'll. New houses are being erected as if by magic, and Pearce is already putting on the airs of metropolis. At the we'll Newton Harper & Co. are down about 150 feet, and it will be necessary Ito go seventy feet more to reach where the water raised with the well borer, so they are sure to strike water, which will be a great blessing to the camp, as they now have to haul it five miles, and re- ceive 75 cents per barrel for the pre- cious fluid.

SENATORS BY A DIRECT VOTE.

The United States senate committee on privileges and elections has made a report favoring an amendment to the constitution Of the United States pro- yiding for the election of members of the senate by the direct vote of the people.
 The proposition has been agitated for several years and it would no doubt receive the sanction of the voters of the several states. One objection to the present and long established meth cd of electing members of1the United States senate is the suspicion, more or Jess corroborated by substantial evil dence. that there have been members Of that body who owed their election l.5- the use of money among members of the legislatures by which they were chosen. There are other well based instances where the office has been sought by men whose only claim was that they had money ito spend. There have been complaints that men who were the representatives of moneyed organizations have secured their cleo ttion under the most suspicious c.rcum- stances and for the suspected object of serving their financial associates first and the people next. The fact that a man has accumulated wealth is not of necessity an argument against his

 Stores.

KleptOmaniacs Who Are Welcome Tn Huh
 Stores.
 ''What do you do with kleptomani- acs?" was the question recently put to the proprietor of large shop.
 I've send them bills for what they take when we know them. If they are strangers, we act according to circum- stances.
 "A few days ago a lady was in the shop with her daughter-a beautiful little girl of twelve years.
 'The girl was seen slipping roll of costly ribbon into her satchel. We spoke to the mother, who became in dignant.
 "She opened the satchel to convince us that we were mistaken, when it was found to contain three lace handker- chiefs, two pairs of gloves and the rib bon.
 "Well, we took the things back and said nothing. We can't afford to in jurc our trade by making enemies among our rich customers"
 "You were speaking of sending out bills for stolen goods," asked g. writer for the Boston Globe; ''are they ever paid?"
 Always, where the person is klep tomani1c. I have known of shops which kept regular list of kleptoInani acs. Whenever they lost anything they sent bills to all of them. As they all settled for the stolen goods, you can imagine that the business was a profit able one, can't you?"
