DON'T WORRY ABOUT YoURsELF.-The
Journal of Health says: TO retain or recover
health, persons should be relieved from anx-
iety concerning diseases. The mind has pow
er over the body. For person to think he
has disease, will often produce that disease
This we see effected when the mind is intense
ly concentrated on the disease of another. 1t
is found in the hospitals that the physicians
and surgeons who make specially of GER
tain diseases are liable to die of it themselves !;
and the mental power is so strong that peo-
pie sometimes die of diseases that they have
only in imagination. We have seen persons
sea.sick in anticipation of voyage, before
reaching the vessel. We have known per,
son to die of cancer in the stomach when
he had no cancer or any other disease. A
man blind-folded and slightly pricked in the
arm has tainted and died from believing that
he was bleeding to death.


Therefore, persons i'll health and desiring
to continue so, should, at all times, be cheerful
and happy, and those who are sick should
have their attention drawn as much as posi-
bic away from themselves. 1t is by faith that
men are saved, and also by their faith they
die. If man wills not to die he can often
live in spite of disease and if he has little
or no attraction to life he will slip away as
easily as a child falls asleep.

PAY Your DEBrs.-Clean hands in mat
ters of money among the young certainly ought
to be the indispensable condition of gentle.
manliness. No man man who borrows and
does not pay, and does not care whether he
pays or not, is gentleman, no matter how
witty, or guy, or fine he may be. TO speak
in good plain English, the man who dresses
himself at another's expense, not knowing
how to pay, not caring whether he pays, is a
gentee scoundrel! And yet such things are
done by goodnatured folk, by kind-hearted
people, by persons who never probe them
morally to ascertain what their tendency is,
and what they lead to.

DOIAS-Nf ~Aus1s '- V . D-

 MR. EDIToR:-The sad, sad news which the telegraph flashes to us today from your far western town of the death of Mrs. Aggie Loring causes many hearts to mourn.

 As innocent as the rills that flow down the mountain-sides of her native State--as pure as the waters of the deep placid lake by which she played in childhood. This in nocence and purity of her Soul could no more be hid than the snows of winter on this earth of ours. It made itself apparent to all whom she met, shone forth as stars shine forth against dark blue sky, and drew people towards her. She was a favorite wherever she went. She could have no enemies. She ever had such tremulous solici- tudc for others: others could but love her. She timidly shrank from even the breath of blame," yet was bold to face duty, never taFrying to entertain fears or doubt.

 When duty pointed its finger Westward across the continent over weary leagues of land to a new home in a strange land, called for her to quit old associates for new, to leave the old places her memory clung to, bid home and all its loved ones fare well, 2 last one it might be, as in decd it was, she hesitated not, but went. 'I'is true the course thence no longer lay by the fever laden streams, dangerous defilcs of the isthmus-but the parting was just as hard, and at best, two or three weeks constant journeying Is an arduous undertaking for a woman quite unacquainted with travel, with an active, never-Iuiet child in her arms yet she cheerfully under took it. There she made many friends, and there she died in the fulflment of her womanhood.

 When such souls leave us, it is the worlds loss.

 They go but their memory can never leave us. That, the world keeps and all who knew them claim  inheritage in it. Untrammeled ii moves among us an unseen force for good, bcgetting other like forces and making the world better there by. As waves move outward and onward from a centre in increasing circles, so such influences move ceasing when? Only on the shores of Eternity.

LAST Monday night number of drunk en Indians made night hideous along Gila street. About one o'clock on Tuesday morning one of them crept up on Fran cisco Olea, who was sleeping on mat near the Mexican bakery, on Second street, and stabbed him twice in the lumbar re- zion. The first thrust broke off the point of the knife; the second broke off about three inches of the blade, and left the piece sticking in the wound The Indian made good his escape without being recog- nized.

The most admired overskirt at present in
vogue Is known as the ''washerwoman's
fancy" The front is a straight, smooth
breadth; with reserved piece trimmed at
the top. and carried back far enough to but
ton just back of the seam which unites the
front and back breadths of the overskirt A
large square outline makes the back breadth,
which is also deeper than the front, and a puff

This design is suited both for wooden goods

Henry Bergh in New York Herald.l


The person who was indicted by the grand
jury of this county a short time since for
mutilating a horse, by cutting off several
inches of the sensitive part of its tail, and
who was subsequently tried in the general
sessions and acquitted under circumstances
which, 1t is hoped, will never recur, sends a
communication to the Herald, wherein,
after extolling the abominabe deed, he
jumps to the conclusion, because his case,
under the influence of the bufoonery of
counsel, was finally decided in his favor
after long hesitation on the part of the jury,
that he is henceforth at liberty to pursue
that branch of his business for any one re
quiriDg his services"


AS this person is an Englishman it is we'll
to make known to him a recent decision in
his own country by Sir James Ingham, the
chief police magistrate of London:


Surely the practice of docking a horse
must be very cruel one under any cIrcum-
stances. Witness said there could be no
doubt that it was, and his worship was aware
that this fact had recently been recognize
by the legislature and was made criminal
offense. This horse had been docked within
week, he was quite certain.


"Witness-All L can say is that it was
docked before bought, and have had it a
week; it injured itself


''Sir James ingham-Can 1t be ascertained
who performed this cruel act of docking the
animal-for l should be very strongly dis.
posed to issue a summons against him?


"Prisoner-I don't know.


''Sir James Ingham-If it could have been
proved that the prisoner docked the horse
himself he would have bsen very severely
punished, for it had been wisely determined
TO make The cruel practice criminal offense
As it was, the prisoner had been guilty OF
great cruelty IN using borse in sucn con-
dihon, and he must pay fine OF f3 los. Cd.
or go TO prison for month. The horse was
killed"


BY the foregoing this mutilator Of animals
may learn what he has to expect on his re-
turn to his native land, and the purpose of
this communication is to apprise him of a
fact of which he seems ignorant-that his
own trial settled nothing but that particular
case-end that should he or any one else be
detected again in that or any similar viola
ton of the laws made for the protection of
animals he and they will be arrested and
punished, it is hoped, with the same severity
oa this side of the Atlantic that he certainly
would were the cruelty inflicted in good old
England.

Here is an amusing comedy of errors
with a Partisan edge: Nine. de v. was
very jealous, and determined to watch her
husband. One day he told her he was
going to Versailles, and when he went out
she put on her bonnet and followed him.
She stood for few minutes in the passage
looking about, and suddenly saw a man
coming out of glove shop with a rather
overdressed lady. From the distance she
made sure the man was her husband, and
without word of warming she gave him
three or four sounding boxes on the ear
When the gentleman turned around to
confront his assailant, she perceived that
she had made a mistake, and at the same
time she caught sight of her husband, who
had replenished his cigar at tobacco
nist's and was crossing the street. What
could she do? 1t goes on with saying
that she tainted in the arms of the stran-
ger whose ears she had boxed, while the
other lady ran off as fast as she could to
avoid scandal. The stranger, who was a
comedian, was astonished to find an un-
known woman in his arms, and while his
ears were still tingling from her blows, he
was again startled A gentleman collared
him, and shaking him roughly asked him
what he meant by embracing lady in the
street. Why, she boxed my ears and
tainted p screamed the actor. "She is
my wife" shouted the irate husband, "and
would never have struck you without
cause p The infuriated gentlemen shook
their fists under each others noses until
the lady, who had been carried into shop,
recovered sufficiently to explain how it
had happened.

The women of Germany have remarka-
bly, fine and luxuriant hair. The follow
ing is their most usual method of manag-
ing it. About once fortnight, boil for
half an hour or more large handful Of
bran in quart of soft water. Strain it
into basin, and let it cool till it is merely
tepid or milk-warm. Rub into it little
white soap; then dip in the corner of a
soft linen towel, and wash your head with
it thoroughly dividing or parting aside
the hair all over, so as to reach the roots.
Next take the yolk of an egg Slightly
beaten in a saueer) and with your fingers
rub it we'll into the roots of the hair. Let
it rest few minutes, and then wash it
off entirely with cloth dipped in pure
water, and then rinse your hair well, till
all the yolk of the egg has disappeared
from it. Afterwards wipe and rub it dry
with towel, and comb the hair up from
your head, parting it with your fingers.
In winter it is best to do all this near the
fire. Have ready some soft pomatum,
made of fresh beef marrow, boiled with
little almond oil or olive oil, stirring it all
the time till it is well amalgamated and
as thick as ointment. When you take it
from the fire (and not before), stir into it
a little mild perfume such as rose water,
orange flower water, extract of roses, oil
of carnations, or essence of violets. Put
it into gallicups that have lids and keep
it for use, always well covered. Take a
very small quantity of this pomatum, and
rub it among your hair on the skin of
your head, after it has been washed as
above.

STRAW PILLows.-Dio Lewis, says
The proximate, if not the original, cause
of large proportion of deaths among
American babies is some malady Of the
brain. When we suppose the death to
result from dysentary or cholera infantum,
the immediate cause of the death is an
affection of the brain supervening upon
the bowel disease. The heads of Ameri-
can babies are, for the most part, little fur
naces What mischief must come from
keeping them buried twenty hours out Of
every twenty-four in feather pillows. 1t
makes me shiver to think of the number
of deaths among these precious little ones
which | have myself seen, where had no
doubt that cool straw pillows would have
saved them. The hair pillow is inferior
to straw because it cannot, like straw, be
made perfectly clean and fresh by a fire.

The subjoined statements, showing in a
variety of forms the rapid increase arising
from interest (rent or usury being very
nearly synonymous terms) charged for the
use of accumulated wealth-which we take
from lecture delivered some time since
in Association Hall, New York, by Wal
lace p. Groom, on the Currency Needs
of Commerce" contain much food for
thought for all classes, old or young, man
or woman, employer or employed; for in
terest affects the price of every commodity
in the most vital manner.


Many carelessly infer that the increse
of money at six per cent. is Just ts0ice as
rapid as at three per cent; but in reality
the increase is vastly more rapid than
this. In one hundred years, at six per
cent, the increase on any given sum is
about eighteen times as much as at three
per cent.

4 late author very truthfully says -

heart-wretchedness; that her life will be
one of gilded misery, and her old age will
be like crag ON the black side of desert
mountain, where cold moonbeams some
time glitter, but no birds sing, but wild
storms howl and hoarse thunders roar, and
through the sweeping storms shall be heard
the stern voice of the great God, saying,
"Your riches are corrupted, your garments
are moth-eaten, your gold and silver are
cankered, and the rust of them shall be
witness against you, and eat your flesh as

LOVING FRIENDs.-Never cast aside
your friends if by any possibility you can
retain them. We are the weakest of
spendthrifts if we let one drop off through
inattention, or let one push away another,
or if we hold alOOf from one through petty
jealousy or needless slight or roughness.
Would you throw away diamond because
it pricked you? One good friend is not
to be weighed against the jewels of the
earth. If there is coolness or unkindness
between US, let us come face to face and
have it out. Quick, before the love grows

MANNERS AT TABLE.-As do the old
so will the children do. If, when child

to the parent. When a parent cats with
a knife, and forgets to use a fork, the child
Is warranted in doing the same. A chat
ty, cheerful table is always desired, free
from formal stiffness; but freedom is not

the children will not be slow to do likewise.

A HINT TO TEACHERS AND PARENTS.
1t is not enough recognized by some
teachers that their special business is to
act as inspirer and hence as creator. It
is their business to create if possible, in
the mind of the pupil, certain confidence
in himself and in his own powers. The
teachers who can do this are those who
create geniuses out Of common material.
There is no word which ought to be heard
oftener in the schoolroom than that of en-
couragement. Yes, you can do it. ,"
" Yes, you can understand it. " Do not
be afraid to try" You do know it. -
Such are the phrases which should be com
mon as household words in every school
room. Where they are so, the faith of
the teacher in the power of the child Gre
ates in his mind certain faith in himself.
and then the work is well begun On that
confidence he can venture to take another
step, and then another, and yet another.

The Golden Star, (which has just yielded q dividcnd) is situated 90 miles northeast of Florence. and 30 miles east of PheniX, in the Bradshaw range ofmountains. The course of the vein, which occurs in slate for nation, is northeast a-d southwest. running with the stratiication of the country. IL crops out boldly for ,OOO feet, and pitches northeast at an angle of 30 degrees, conformably with the slope of the mountain in which it is situated. The ledge matter for dis tance of 400 feet below the croppingS is so exposed that for length of 1000 feet it literally forms the face of the mountain; and for a much greater distance down it can be reached any where by sinking to q depth of from 15 to 50 feet Under these conditions the ore can be mined at mere nOmi- nal cost. This denuded portion of the ledge averages in thickness about five feet, and contains at the lowest calculation, 50,00O tons of ore. As short tunnel run from the adjacent canyon would intersect the ledge at q depth of 800 feet, the cost of ore ex- traction and drainage must for long time be confined to a very low figure. The ore here is q lively, aurifcrous quartz. The gold is so coarse and free that it shows readily to the eye, and the ore can be prospected in a very satisfactory manner by crushing in mortar and washing with q pan of horn spoon. The mass of it assays at the rate of 90 dollars per ton. care fully selected pieces running up into the thousands. It is safe to estimate tha. this ore will yield 50 dollars per ton under the stamps. As it can be mIned and milled for five dollars per ton, there would be q net profit of 15 dollar on every ton reduced, or q gross profit of $I50000 on the ore already exposed in the mine, and which may be reasonably considered but a small precentage of the whole, as the lode occupies a true Assure and will no doubt carry its ores down as far as it will be practicable to follow them. The gold Is very pure, being worth 10 dollars per ounce, and so free that the ore can be worked up to 90 per cent. of the fire assay, by simple mill pro- cess. To say that the ore can be min ed and milled at so small cost inn plies that the natural facilities for handling it are good, which is really the case, there being wood and water in fair supply in the immediate neigh borhood.
