From Arizona.

Dear Ed;-As it has been quite a
while since the cactus" has had
the privilege to pen a few words
from the barren hills of Arizona, |
thought / would write again to the
News. Spring has begun to push
forth its green foliage and nature
ssems to be all smiles. Our section
is quite barren, still we think the
hills are quite beautiful when these
genial days begin to come.
Now on some fine day the Rodeo
or round up party will start on
their work. A great many of the
cattlemen will sell their herds,
and then the wild cow boys will
have their old time fun around the
camp fires telling their wild chases
after the brOnchO steers and their
narrow escapes: 1t would be a.
musing for some Of the Eastern
people to see the way the Arizona
COW boys handle cattle. | had a
chance to spend a few days in a
cow camp and l found it quite a.
musing to make up a fire, cook such
as we want to eat, and when night
comes spread down our blankets
and take the night as it come, Not
long since was up at Mr.. Shute''
COW camp and it proved to be g
very rough time owing to the
amount OF snow and rain and
found that the cow boys have 1
real tough life. They have to ride
bucking horses, tie down fighting
steers, and still they claim it is higt
life in the wild West. l fear thu
will be of little interest to the many
readers, and therefore leave OF
wishing the NEWS success.

Demand for Flintlocks.

Strange as it may appear, fintloch
muskets are not merely a record of by
gone ages, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. In 1895 no fewer than L.
$4,000 gunflints were produced at the
Lingheath mines, Brandon, Suffolk,
England. These fints are chiefly to de-
light African and other savages, who,
having been so long used to fintlocks,
are reluctant to give them up. The:
method of manufacturing these gun
flints is very interesting. In the opera
ton of taking" the worker will take
a quarter in his left hand and plac--
ing it on his knee, around which. pro-
tecting band of leather has been
strapped, gently tap the flint with a
hammer, giving it each time a we'll
directed blow. At every tap flake
six inches long and one inch wide falls
into his hand, and, if good one, is
deposited in pail by his side;. all bad
ones being discarded. The knappers
work these f1ints with hammers with
long, thin heads, often made of old files,
transversely striking the strip of flint
on an iron fixed in their benches.

anxiety What can be the matter with
the girl?" murmured Lady Carew to
herself 'She is evidently disturbed
about something. How she plays with
that bracelet. I, wonder-but, no!
Maggie is the best little soul alive; and,
besides, there isn't an eligible man
within a dozen miles. Still, never
should have expected Eric Fawcett to-
have turned out model husband;'
and she laughted softly to herself.
Laura Carew was a good six years
older than her cousin, and she remem-
bered very distinctly that at the same
ball last year, before Maggie had
flashed upon his armament, Eric
Fawcett had been her very de-
voted slave, and naturally she
smiled at the recollection IA lit
tie pityingly, perhaps, for Lady
Carew could not quite understand an
admirer deserting her for Maggie, and
though she was fond of her cousin, she
was rather sorry for Eric. Women
generally are sorry for the men who
marry some one else.
But, in spite of Lady Carew's moder-
ate estimate Of Maggie's powers of
attraction, her card was full before she
had been in the room ten minutes
as full, that is as she would allow it
to be; for she valiantly resisted all
efforts to fill up two spaces which she
| insisted on preserving.
She was standing by her husband in
the midst of a group of people. She
put her hand gently on his arm.

JOKE ON THE LANDLORD.

The Iuustrious Guest Appreciated Hth
Good Wine.
A few days ago a very exalted per-
sonage was entertained at dinner IN
one Of the chief hotel restaurants IN
Berlin and, as it was known that he
is exceedingly fond of a certain still
wine, it was determined to give him
with his fish bottle of more than
ordinary vintage, says the London Tele-
graph. A kind Of practical joke was
played. The bottle was placed before
him without any label being on it, and
the landlord was requested to name
only a moderate price if the noble guest
should detect the quality of the wine
and make any special inquiries about It.
This precaution turned out to have
been necessary in one sense. but it led
the host into an expense that he did
not bargain for. He has now learned
a new lesson, namely, that one may sui,
fer from depreciating what one has
as well as from exaggerating its value.
''That is a capital wine," said the guest.
ssLet us send for the landlord and ask.
the price of it.. would not mind hav-,
ing few hundred dozens of that in
my cellar" Mine host hurried up, and
assured his illustrious interrogation
that the delicious liquor cost no more
than 1 shilling 8 pence per bottle,
"Well, I am not going to throw away
so good a chance as this" replied the
astonished connoisseur. "That is very
cheap, indeed. Have the kindness to
send to my. cellar master thousand
bottles" A cold shudder crept over
the limbs of the rash entertainer, for
his wanton duplicity had led him in
for an order he did not anticipate. 1t
was too late to inform the illustrious
guest Of the trick played upon him
in fact, he might have taken it amiss.
| The wine he had been drinking did
not cost only 1 shilling pence; it was
a brand the price of which was shil-
lings a bottle. This practical joke,
therefore, cost it's author no less than
f260, for he had to make up this diff
ference out of his own pocket. I need
hardly add that the happy possessor
of this thousand bottles continues to
quaf with great gusto fagons of this
memorable wine, with it's delicious
flavor and luxuriant bouquet, and thai
he invariably boasts to his guests o1
his fabulous good fortune in obtaining
so choice wine for SO small a price.

and perhaps only one has had the ex-
perience of being rejected by man
without having proposed to him. There
was one, and the Hon. u. A. Tolle-
mache tells the story in his Personal
Memoir of Benjamin Jowett," master
of Balliol, Oxford. The masters per-
sonality was potent and penetrating,
and good women felt its fascination.
An undergraduate was i'll at Balliol
College, and his sister, coming to Ok
ford to nurse him, was invited BY DR..
Jowett to stay at his house. She re-
ceived from him the utmost kindness
and attention, and when leaving said,
with much hesitation, that she would
venture to ask a very great favor. She
again hesitated; the master grew un-
easy and looked interrogative.
Will you marry me? y at last she
asked.
He paced up and down, blushed deep-

ALL CHOPPED UP.
A Body, Without Head or Legs
Fished Out of the East River, at
New York, and Another, in the
Same Condition, Discovered in the
Woods.

New York, June 27.-Stab wounds
were found between the fifth and sixth
and seventh and eighth ribs, in the re-
gion of the heart of the headless, leg
less trunk Of a man found floating in
East river yesterday. Deputy Coroner
O'Hanlon, who performed the autopsy
declared that the man was murdered.
The deputy coroner also found a stab
wound back of the left collar bone,
that extended down into the apex OF
the left lung. There was no water or
serum in the lung. In his opinion the
man had been dead about thirty-six
hours before the autopsy was per-
formed.
On the left forearm he found a
bruise and on the inner side of the
right forearm he found a confusion
showing the shape of heel, with the
imprint of the hob nails Of a heavy
boot. In the palm of the right hand
was an incised wound, caused, Dr..
OHanlon belieTes, by the victim seiz-
ing hold of the weapon with which the
crime was committed.
DR.. O'Hanlon, when the autopsy was
completed. said he had seen many
cases of mutilation, but this one was
the worst.
Just as he had finished the autopsy
word came over the telephone to Belle
vue hospital that a coroner was needed
at the Highbridge station. DR.. O'Han-
lon went to the telephone and was told
Of the finding of the body of a second
man, mutilated in much the same man
ner and rolled in oil cloth, in the woods
near One Hundred and Seventy-fifth
street and Undercliffe avenue. DR..
O'Hanlon described the oil cloth in
which the floating body was wrapped,
and the police sergeant at the other end
of the wire declared that the body
found in the woods was wrapped in oil
cloth of similar pattern.

the want of official and intelligent
supervision. In every State some
standard of qualifications, moral and
intellectual with some amount OF actual
experience. should be demanded by
law from those who aspire to fill the
of schools.
Good morals and good manners con-
stitute an essential, part of an educa-
tional equipment. The incubation of
patriotism. Of respect for law and or
der. of whatever tends 10 make good
citizen. is Of as much importance in
small as in larger school. Regular
ity. punctuality, obedience, industry,
self-conrol are as necessary in the
country as in the city school. Coun-
try school teachers should call to their
aid the beautiful things in nature.
Some important recommendations
are made as to
INSTRUCTION AND DISCIPLINE
and the evils of attempting TO grade
rural schools, as the city schools
are set out at length. In con-
nection with school exercises at the
town or county centre, once or twice a
year. competitive examinations arc not
recommended unless they are carefully
guarded. The feature of social inter-
course. the stimulus which comes from
meeting with ones mates. have ad-
vantages which ought not to be ne
elected.
There is embodied an interesting re-
port urging negro teachers for negro
schools. 1t says the instinct of edu-
cational development OF the negro must
be from within and by the race itself,
and not solely through extraneous
agencies; that the intellectual and
moral dependence Of the race must not
be perpetuated. and that the respons-
Utility of teaching his own race furn-
ishes incentives and means for race ele-
walton.
The conclusion reached is that the
instinct of race identity renders impos-
sible the realization of an ideal relation
between the white teacher and the
negro pupil.
