 Cochise Review: A serious accident to the Nacosari stage Sat- urday which resulted in the driver being seriously injured and a horse being killed. The stage left Naco as usual and was well on it's way to Bis bee when breast strap broke. The driver, Joe Irwin, got down to fix the strap when the leaders started. This caused the wheelers to run and away went the stage. The drive was knock ed down and had two ribs broken and was severely bruised. He was unable to get back to Naco and so lay there suffering the rest of that day and all of that night, and it was late in the before MT. Ragsdale found the injured and exhausted man. One of the horses was killed. George Ray of Curry & Ray, of Naco, drove the stage into Naco today. The injured man is in the care of pr. Edmundson, wbo says his patient will be out again in few days.

Good Farm Hands Scarce In England.

The decay OF agricultural skill has
gone too far Men who can trench and
drain, quick-fence and sink a well are
becoming few: farriers and thatchers
are rarities, indeed and the minor, but
still important, arts of husbandry inger
only among the dying generation
Moreover, an impression is growing
wide and deep that for the better type
of laborer, now that he is equip
ped with some education, has a wider
outlook and has learnt to adapt himself
to new conditions. the provision of
small holdings, whether under the act
or independently between landlord and
tenant, may prove his industrial saliva
vation. For while it is recognized that
many must be unequal to the special de-
mands of the life. two or three of the
best men in every village in the coun-
try could do well with holdings of from
20 to 30 acres. They could still give
their skilled labor in those times of pres

them, and they would rear healthy fami-

Thirty Years Of the Rhine.

Augustine Birrell begins in the De-
cember Century a series OF papers on
the Rhine. In the opening pages he
moralizes on the changes since he first
knew the river, before the Franco
Prussan war:
"In 1868 the Rhine was at least an
open question, theme for the public
list no less than for the poet But now
the difference! At Kloblenz itself does

TRADE REVIEW.
Scme Increase In Trade--Good Country
Collections Relieve Anxiety About
High Money Rates.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says: Holiday trade has in
creased moderately and in wholesale
staple lines no relapse is seen either in
volume of transaction or in prices. Cold
weather has helped New York, but It
is still behind the rest OF the country,
for some recent losses from failures II
the textile markets have fallen rather
heavily there. Collections in the couu-
try continue good and this relieves an
xiety which might be otherwise felt over
the higher rates for monev. Merchants
accounts are in good position, so that
new sales OF commercial paper are light
even for this season.
A sharp rise to minimum OF Sass
in wholesale price OF coal, fully IS cents
in two weeks reflects actual scarcity OF
the product more than negotiations to
harmonic thetrade. Most OF the foot
wear manufacturers have booked sufii-
cient business to keep them well occu-
pied for many weeks, and are refusing
new contracts, except at further ad-
vance in prices. Improvement is noticed
in the local jobbng trade, aside from
rubber goods. which are neglected. Sole
leather is quiet and union backs weaker,
