alse Economy.
From the Globe Silver Belt.l

lFrom the Globe Silver Beltl
 County officers have been informed by the chairman of the board of super visors that they will have to dispense with the services of ianiter, as the employment of one is not authorized by law, and the county caa not afford such luxury. Necessity sometimes rises superior to law, and there are few persons who will contend that a janitor is not needed at the court house.
 The man who has been serving in that capacity was appointed by the preceding board, and he has well earned his wages, having kept all the county offices, jail and court room in clean and presentable condition, besides saving all the wood used in the building during the winter. He has been paid $2.50 per day for his services. Perhaps, during the spring and summer months, when less work is required of him, the jsnitor's pay might be reduced, but to do without one, we consider would be false economy and an imposition upon the county officers.

THE very neatest and most com prehensive Blue Book ever published in Arizona is that just issued by Major Jim McClintock, replete as it is with half-tone engravings and interesting letter-press descriptive of the Twen- tieth Legislature. However, it con tains the phizzes of some pretty hard men and fails to tell the price which some of them sold themselves for in the past sixty days. All of which would make mighty interesting reading" as Horace Greeley was wont to say.

OUR old-time friend, Judge J. M. Murphy, of Mohave, made record in the Twentieth Legislature of which he and his county may well feel proud. His vote and voice were always on the side of the masses as against the classes. It is such incorrnptible old heroes as Judge Murphy who make the name of Democracy respectable.

The Same Alignment.
From the Phoenix Enterprise.l

This is the era of trusts, combines, syndicates and monopolies. The past two years has added to their strength, until the people are really becoming alarmed. As result, Bryan, on the same Chicago platform, will be nomi- hated in 1900 by the democrats. Of course the trusts will name Mckinley as their champion and leader. The campaign will be on grander scale than that of '96, with better chances in favor of democracy. The Dingley tariff law has been a failure, while the billion-and-a-half congress has really aroused the people. One year hence the war will be considered in the past. The growth of centralized wealth and power will have been in- creased, and party lines will be some what ob,iterated. The peanut vender who, two years ago, listened to the banker when the latter said, "We business men must stand togeth CT" :" has been swept out of business, and knows the folly of his choice on that occasion.

Joe Mulhatton Is travelling in Ari- zona and the local papers no longer complain of dearth of news. The Florence TRIBUNE notes that Joe has discovered magnetic cactus that draws birds and animals to it aud impales them on it's thorny spikes. MT. Mulhatton approached no nearer than 100 feet to the cactus, which is of the saguara variety, yet at that dis tanee it was all he conld do to resist it's influence to draw him to 1t. While in town he purchased a long rope which he will tie around his body, and four of his friends will take hold of it, and allow him to approach near enough to minutely examine the wonder with out danger.-GLos Angeles Record.

Madame Genevra Johnstone- Bishop is magnificent woman, and her charm ing personality straightway wins the hearts of her audience. Her voice is a very strong, flexible, brilliant soprano, capable of the most dramatic effects, as well as the finest shading of tone. She recently scored great triumph in the festivals of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tacoma, as we'll as dur ing the past year in the leading festi- vals in Europe. Really she is soprano who is by many critics considered the equal of Nordica.-IDenver Republican.

INSURGENTS COOLING OFF
Officers No Longer Parade Around
Havana Wearing Their Full
Uniforms.

New York, Feb. 10.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: The yellow
fever cases at Guanajay cause uneasi-
ness, though today's reports were not
unfavorable. Until these cases were re-
ported the health of the 202nd New York,
which is stationed there, was very good.
Guanajay is not an unhealthy Col.
Seyburn allowed his soldiers to visit dur
ing the day time, but strict orders were
enforced against absence from camp at
night. One case of yellow fever has de-
veloped in the Eighth regiment OF infan-
try, which is stationed in Havana along
the entrance to the harbor.
The insurgent officers, who have been
parading around Havana in full uniform,
have taken the hint at Gomez's displeas-
ure over their course and now appea
without regalia. Secretary Quesada, who
has returned from a visit to Gomez, tells
the radical Cubans that their commander
will do nothing contrary to the wishes OF
the assembly, but he expects the disband-
ment of the insurgent troops in accord
ance with his promise to President Nc
Kinley.

NOT sUPERsTITIOUs, OF COURSE

Two unusually well-dressed young wo-
men were walking down Broadway re-
Gently, on one Of those mild afternoons
when, in spite of the blue sky and the
sunshine, the streets were covered with
a wet and sticky coating of mud. Hold
ing their skirts carefully clear of the
sidewalk, they had just exchanged some
emphatic remarks upon the Objectionable
condition Of ''the walking" when they
arrived at a particularly bad street
crossing. The unduly wide gutter had
just been passed successfully, when one
OF the girls came to a sudden halt.
Whats the matter?' asked her COM
panion.
Don't you sect" exclaimed the other,
stepping back to get a better view;
there's a horseshoe in that puddle!"
"Well,' was the unsympathetic reply,
suppose there is. You don't think Of
picking it up, I imagine?'
The othrer girl looked much distressed
as she glanced downward at her spotless
white gloves and her broadcloth gown Of
silver gray.
But she hesitated, and in that instant
the horseshoe's attractions triumphed.
STOPPING, until a liberal portion of her
skirt was bathed in the muddy stream of
the gutter, she fished out her prize, and
wrapped it, all sticky and dripping, in her
dainty, lace-bordered pocket-handker-
chief.
Little brown rivulets We're trickling
down the front of her gown, and her
gloves We're ruined beyond hope of re
demption.
Her friends disgust was too strong for
concealment.
81 certainly didn't suspect she said,
sarcastically, that you were so SUI
per-
I'm not; not a bit!' interrupted the
other, Indignantly, but everybody knows
that it's bad, /, 1 near, not at all cus
tomary, to pass by a horseshoe when you
find ONE
The superior friend smiled pityingly,
and the next moment CAV an unmistak-
able shudder, as a cross-eyed woman who
came along happened to bestow upon
her a passing glance.

LATE DUKE OF NORTHUMBER-
land.

London Chronicle: The late Duke of
Northumberland had, through his father
in-law, an interest in Drummond's bank,
being probably the only ducal banker on
record in this country. When, as Lord
Iovaine, he married Miss Drumnond,
she was not an heiress, but the early
death of brothers made her one. The
founder of Drummond's famous bank
was a cadet of the family of Lord Strath-
allan. who started in London as the
money agent of the ~Jacobite party, but
before many years he became banker
to members of the House of Hanover. He
accumulated a great fortune. Almost
next to Drummond's for a very long
period was the shop of his felloW-ScOts-
man-Foilock, the saddler, also a scion
Of a good Scotch house, who was not i'm
probably aided at his outset by the big
banking firm. Pollock, too, would have
died rich but for credits given to royalty,
in the days when royalty did not pay its
bills, but the Pollocks made their way
by ability, and the lord chief baron. the
Chief Justice OF Bombay and the Field
Marshal Governor of the Tower were all
sons of the saddler of Charing Cross.
By far the most interesting seat of the
late Duke of Northumberland, from the
purely historical point of view, is Syon
house, near Richmond. Up to the time
of the Reformation it was a famous Ben
edictine nunnery, and was presented by
Henry Iii 10 the dukes u I\OlLhuiIiUeI-
land. Almost facing it was Sheen house,
which had been a Carthusian priory, and
was given to the Duke of Suffolk, father
Of Lady Jane Grey. 1t was no doubt the
proximity of the two houses that led to
the union of Lady Grey with Guilford
Dudley, sen of the Duke of N~Orthumber-
land. 1t was at Syon house that this
youthful princess first heard the news
that she had been raised to a throne
which she graced for only seven days.
Some few years previously Syon house
I had sheltered the ill-fated Queen Cath
crime Howard, who vas sent there after
her arrest at Hampton court, and pre-
vious to being conveyed to the Tower.
In our own times Syon house has had
more agreeable associations in the de-
lightful garden parties which for many
| years past have been given by the Coun-
tess Percy, now Duchess Of N~orthumber-
land.
An interesting fact connected with the
House of Percy Is that there are two
foreign branches, both bearing the same
name and coat-of-arms One has it's seat
in Normandy, and is, in all probability,
the fountain-head Of the English stock
1t halls from Percie, a village in Nor
mandy, near Viiledieu, in the neighbour
hood of which is the old chateau still be-
longing to the Comte de Percie. The
other branch is Belgian, and is descend
ed from that Earl Percy, who was at.
tainted by Queen Elizabeth and sought
refuge at Brussels. The family is still
in possession of a great quantity of mag.
nificent silver-plate of the sixteenth cen
tury which has engraved upon it thu
arms of northumberland. There is alst
a village neal Brussels, said to have beer
founded by the Percys, and also called
Percie.

THE OLD-TIME VIRGINIA NEGRO.

Forest and Stream: There are a few
old-fashioned darkies left in the South,
both big and little.
The best specimens are to be found
"'way down South in Georgy'' and in
"Old Virginia."
They live on the plantations lying back
In the interior a distance from towns and
railroads. These facts I learned some
few years ago, when the handsome ma
tron who now sits across the table from
me talking Sanscript to a future presi-
dent was al occasional resident on a
plantation of large value in Southeastern
Virginia, six miles from town and three
miles from the railroad, which had been
in the family for generations.
My first visit to her country home was
fraught with many pleasures, aside from
the delight of basking in the sunshine of
her smiles. The plantation comprised a
thousand acres of cultivated and forest
land, surrounded by much that had not
been cultivated since the civil war, and
made an ideal place for enjoying field
sports, as game was most abundant.
The negroes We're the real old-timers,
many of them having lived all their lives
on that or n~eighboring plantations, as
had their ancestors before them, proudly
bearing the names of many F. F. VS.. My
advent had necessitated preparations
that had put the darkies on notice, and
they had questioned a little, surmised
much, and finally concluded thus: Mis-
Lady's young man is comm from the
city to visit us ALL" No one visits exclu-
sively the family in the "big house" on a
plantation where the old-time darkies are
found, and he comes to grief who at
tempts it.

verdict returned by the loyal attaches
against the visitor who, like the frog, "a
