Rudxard KipIina,s Illness.

There was something like a gen eral consternation at the news of Mr. Kipling's illenss. It had been con- 6dentially rumored that when he came this last time to America he came full of good resolutions to see every one, to be nice lion and roar sweetly, to hurt no one's feelings, to do every thing in reason that it was desired that he should do, whether it suited his humor or not. Maybe these really were his intentions; maybe not. At any rate, he seems to have lived pretty we'll up to them, for one hears of a great multitude of persons whom he otherwise edifed, and of no one whom he has displeased. Even the reporters whom he wouldn't interview have not reviled him.
 The English reading world sets more store just now by this imperialistic British gentleman than by any other single writer going. It is more depen- dent on him for current entertainment than on any other one person, and it is very appreciative of what he does for it. It is mortifying to New-Yorkers that New York's meteorological flip flaps should have made him i'll. At this writing he is sick enough to cause anxiety; but then pneumonia always causes anxiety while it lasts. Get well quickly, Mr. Kipling! It worries us to have you ill. There is none of all the sentiments we have towards you that finds expression in lung fever. That is something we would far rather have kept to ourselves than imparted to you.-[E. s. Martin, in Harper's Weekly.

Has Been to Florence.
From the Tucson Citizen.]

|. B. Hayes, who laid artificial stone walks for P. E. Brady, Jr., and A. r. Barker of Florence, has returned to the city. From all that Mr. Hayes could gather he is satisfied that Flor ence will pick up again ard amount to something. There gre several reasons for this theory. The stages come in with full loads of passengers, the Min eral Creek copper mines are a factor. The Ray mine is one of the most prom ising, this on Mineral creek, while there is the Jessie Brown, owned by Prof. Blake and R. G. Brady of this city. Everybody, almost everybody, is interested in mining. The country around is susceptible of great results from a farmers standpoint. The merchants appear to be eontented, and the best equipped courthouse in the territory is located at Florence. The Casa Grande ruins below the town is spot one must not overlook in trip to or from Florence. The Wentworth ranch of Price & Shields is one of the beauty spots near Florence. Ducks are plenty on the canal and at the re- servoir. A tip to Florence is full of interest.

Still More Counterfeitine.

The Secret Service has unearthed another band of counterfeiteTs and se- cured a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never sus- pect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for limitations, notably the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strengh and vitality, and restore gigor to the weak and debilitated. Beware of counter feiters when buying.

Arizona now occupies third place as a producer of copper and bids fair to rank first. Many things have con- spired to hinder her progress in the past, but conditions have generally inn proved. Both capital and enterprise are indnstriously at work where until recently they were unwilling to yeu- ture. The territory possesses untold possibilities. It's mountains are filled with all the valuable minerals. Her plains offer the greatest advant ages to the growers of live stock, while her valleys are extremely fertile yielding the most bountiful crops and fruits. The climatic advantages of Arizona in some respects surpass Colorado. There the rigors of winter are unknown, while we have recently been strug- gling with temperature many degrees below zero, Southern Arizona has not known even so much as frost. Oranges, lemons and many other fruits flourish there and are unsurpassed in excellence.
 Arizona is indeed great. Whe m it is admitted into the Union its people can justly claim it to be one of the richest and fairest members of the greatest republic on earth.-fDenver Republi- can.
