PEACE MAY NOT LAST.
Feared That Another Uprising Will
 Occur in China.

Berlin, July IA special dispatch to The Volks Zeitung from China says that according to advices received at mission headquarters. many missiona- ries have returned to the interior of Shan Tung province, where, they were well received by the Chinese.
 The indemnities for missions de- stroyed and Chinese Christians killed have been nearly all regulated and paid, but the missionaries from every locality report their belief that the present calm will not last. A mission ary from Chen Si province reports that. following the directions of the Dowa- ger Empress in Sian Flu. great prepa- rations for war are being made.
 The German Foreign Office says that all official reports received Aere from China seem to show that no n~w prep arations are being made for further up- risings in that country, and that. upon investigation, the various alarming re- ports of approaching trouble in China were found to be unwarranted.

FLOWERS or SPEECH.
How the "Letter Writer" Translates
 Various French Phrases.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
 We are grieved to observe that the modern Letter Writer" not only coun- tenances but encourages the custom of making ones letters even more elegant and flowery than mere English could do by sprinkling the polite paragraphs with Latin. French and Italian words And when it comes to Latin, French and Italian words. the modern Letter Writer" ies unique. For instance, to quote from the imposing list: Amour propre." conceit. egotism; 'contretemps a hitch" "con amore," with delight; "comme il fait," most proper; centre nous." between us and the lamppost; "menage." married couple; "outre." ex- aggerate, prestige. glamour.
 Given list like this and childlike faith in its being correct, 1t would not be safe to predict what might not happen. The price of being elegant" is truly an uncertain sum.

WAYSIDE NOTES.

We got away from Lampazos up0r Wednesday, December 18th. WheI we had, as we supposed, everything al in readiness we wers detained by tho discovery that a mule belonging tt the doctor, ridden by his "mozo" wa: lame and unsafe to take. Then there YVES a delay in getting another mount A Sefior Trujillo, cattleman living al Sahuaripo but with cattle ranging Lampazos, learning our difficulty sent us fine horse which he would esteem it favor if we would deliver to his family at Sahuaripa. We glad ly took upon ourselves the discharge of the favor asked, and rode the animal to Sahuaripa. It is big sor rel, American horse, little slow iu going down hill, but sure-footed, and a splendid traveller going up hill or ou level. And his rapid canter was just like sitting in rocking chair and gliding over the country.
 And we had yet another delay when it was known the doctor was about to leave it seemed as if every body in the town wanted to be treat ed, and they just flocked to his office with ailments, keeping him busy put ting up medicines until way into the afternoon. It was four o'clock when we got away, and as we rode up the trail out of the camp we made quite a little 'cabalgada"-the doctor and myself horseback, his ''mozo" upon mule, and pack mule with our effects --including two reams of writing paper, and some envelopes for me, and, the result of several days good hard work, more than one hundred pages of copy descriptive of the Moe tezuma district to go into my book.
 When 1 mentioned how highly 1 prized my baggage, on account of the work had put upon what it contain. ed, Dr. Wright tried to re-assure me by telling that few months ago the mail carrier between Lampazos and Moctezuma, who rode one mule and carried the mail sack upon another, lost his mail mule upon the road, and they never did find her nor the mail sack, which contained quite number of letters with checks, money, etc. The mule just stampeded, took into the chapparrdl with the mail sack and has never been seen since. They hunted for her for days, but could not find her. At least that was the story told.
 Incidentally, in the course of the conversation, while we were riding along, Doctor Wright mentioned that Doctor c. H Porter had died at Ures some two or three mouths ago-an item of news which 1 don't think has reached any of us in Arizona before now. Doctor Porter formerly prac- ticed medicine at Wilcox, and after ward at Stafford, in Graham county, where he had some sort of difficulty, after which he came to Sonora. A couple of years ago he married a young woman in Ures, by wnom he left a child, now about six months old.
 When we reached the head of the caflon, perhaps about mile and a half up the trail from Lampazos, and at much greater altitude, we turned to trace the ledges, in very small part of which the mining operations are conducted. From our elevated position we had view from tremen- dous scope of country, and along the tops of the ridges they crOwD these

Lampazos will be one of the big min ing camps in North America.
 The point where we stood was at the top of the divide between the Suaqui and the Yaqui rivers, and we had panoramic view which for scenic grandeur is unsurpassable. We stood also on the dividing line between the Moctezuma and Sahuaripa districts. Behind us, looking off over the moun- tains below, we could see the Suaqui valley, miles away, with the moun- tains beyond the valley bathed in flood of sunshine, displaying all the variegated tints of autumn, and the mountains turning sombre in the shade of their own lofty crests, which had intercepted the rays of the de- clining sun. Before us lay the precip- itous caflons and castellated peaks of the Sahuaripa region. Down fright ful gorge, along it's precipitous sides wound the trail we were to follow, a mere ribbon upon the rocky robe of Dame Nature, and we could trace it until it disappeared in the distance in a threadlike line, while beyond and below-two thousand feet below us and three miles away, we could see the bottom of canon to which the trail led. To ride down the trail was a proceeding somewhat ticklish, so we dismounted and plunged into the gorge leading our horses. Before we reached the bottom the trail became less steep, making seats in saddles easier, and we mounted again.
 At the bottom the caiion widened little and the trail wound along the sandy bed of dry stream, among lofty palm trees, which the doctor said are the homes of innumera5le parrots. It was now dark, the moon in it's first quarter serving to light our way, and the parrots had gone to roost; but in the day time, said the doctor, the callon is resonant with their incessant chatter And they are great fighters. The traveller will hear ahead great crying and screaming, and pretty quickly he comes upon revolving mass of green and yellow, from which seems flying cloud of brilliant feath- CTS, which at his near approach sep arate into two angry parrots, fly to the branches of near by trees, still spluttering and screeching at each other.
 Below the palm grove we passed at the bottom of a rocky canon in the blackest of darkness, only here and there a struggling moonbeam sue ceeding in getting into the stygian recess. How the doctor picked over the rocks and boulders, was puzzle to me. He said that in getting elect ed to three Arizona legislatures, as a republican from democratic county, he had learned to pick his way over all sorts of rocky roads, and there are none too rocky for him to travel. Leaving the canon after little time we came into a region not so rocky, with the way a gentle descent over which there was no difficulty in gal loping our horses, while the receding hills permitted the moons rays to illuminate our road We galloped smartly for some time, and about eight o'clock in the evening stopped at cattle ranch, about six leagues from Lampazos, where we remained until morning.
 About seven o'clock in the morning we got away, and in the course Of the l rurfiQc

What Forty Poles MAKE.

A good story is told about certain
professor whose business it was to lee
ture to a number of students on sur
veying. During one of the lectures, the
professor said that in his opinion the
pole was of little or no value. To the
establishment of those present Polish
gentleman arose and, after accusing
the professor of insulting his country
men, demanded an apology.
The professor thereupon explained
that the pole to which he referred was
merely a term of measurement. The
Polish gentleman, seeing his mistake,
asked the professor to forgive his ap-
parent rudeness. To this the professor
smartly replied:
You could not be rude, sir. even il
you tried, for it takes 40 poles to make
one rood!'

cupies. Having outgro wn its old
apartments, the Illinois Infirmary
and School of Natural Healing has Sc
cured one-half of the entire 4th floor
of the Mitchell e Lynde building, Rock

by the dozens of patients who are now
being treated and must be accommo-
dated at this Grand Institution for
the treatment and cure of the afflicted,
and where so many people of the Tri
Cities and surrounding country have
been made happy once more in the
realization of perfect health and all
the pleasures perfect health brings
with it.
The success of the President, DR.. j.
AlvinHorne has been truly phenomenal,
having been in Rock Island only three
months and has cured dozens of pa
tients whose testimonials have APP
peared in this paper from time to
time, and whose practice has bscome
too large for him to treat all of his
patients scientifically and thoroughly.
For this reason he has now associated
with him the Celebrated Physician
and Natural Healer of Chicago, DIR.
