These deputies are only serviceable, it should

 half dozen country papers i'll Call fornia which have dealt specially with home resources. As for the rest, they are generally barren ot that kind of information which ought to be the most prominent feature of the local journal" And in this connection we would state that the HERALD IS the best "local'' journal in Arizona; and our readers of the past year will bear us out in the assertion. We have done much to attract attention to our many and varied resources. And the HERALD claims, and justly too, much credit for the present state of content ment and prosperity in this section.

Mrs. Rachel Mccall, widow of William

but when she found that the company

grew calm and referred with considera

present. Included in the company
were IS grand children, 6 great grand
children and one great great
grand child, making five generations
gathered together under one roof to
honor the one who though frail and
aged stood proudly at the head. The
evening Of course was pleasantly spent
in conversation, and quite a number of
presents and little scuveniers ofrespect
and love were showered upon the ven
cradle and esteemed lady. After RET
freshments were served, the company
dispersed to their homes after wishing
Mrs. Mccall many additional years OF

that to her the sunset may be golden

AZ an early hour last evening large
number of colored individuals male
and female began to pour into a two
story frame house in the middle of the
of the square between Madison, Monroe
and Third and Fourth streets; new ar

some carrying bundles, others baskets
and turkeys. In a short time after the
house got filled the fun began to the
annoyance of the whole neigh borhood,
they kept up continual yelling, sing

midst of this hilarity the annoyance
was further increased by the appearance
of couple, male and female who began
a regular pugilistic exhibition on their

after which affairs quieted down sutIi-

A NOBLE RACE.-The natives of Bel
uchistan, country on the northwestern
frontier Of India, are noted for their
bravery, truthfulness, and chivalry to-
wards women. An illustration of this
respect for women is given by an Eng
lish clergyman who travelled among the
Beluchins:


was told by Col. G. that, in
time of war, the flock of an enemy
(which otherwise is lawful spoil} is al
ways respected if guarded by a woman;
and you may see flock of sheep graz
ing securely under the very pickets of
the adversary, with no other title to i'm
munity than the sex of its keeper.
Such courtesy is quite unknown in
Western warfare.

he had no time for private business In order
that he might have time to look
after his suffering interests he was re-
lieved from public responsibility few years
ago, and ought, by this time, to be doing
something for the city. Instead of having
his mind tortured by the desire for the
Berlin mission, suppose he should build only
half dozen tenement houses, occupying
only six of the several hundred unimproved
city lots he owns. The very novelty of the
thing would start new blood in his veins, and
he would have something else to think of
besides the pangs of an unrequitted desire
for Office. Only think, Mr.. Ramsey. how it
would seem to be disbursing money to st.

campaign was badly managed in some re-
spects, they won the election, but were de-
frauded out of the Presidency by system
of fraud that will ever remain as stain upon
our reputation as nation. To redress the
grievance thus received Mr.. Tilden's friends
have manifestly determined to put him in
nomination once more. They may succeed.
Indeed, the probabilities are all in their IA
vor. At the election last autumn the line
was straightly drawn as to congressman in
New York between the Tilden and the Tam
many men, and when the returns were
counted it was clear that the power of Tilden
in the politics of the metropolis was
greater than had been thought. No pro-
nounced enemy of his, though supported by
the powerful political machinery of Tam
many Hall, was elected. All were buried in a
common grave. Again in the speakership
contest the Eilden influence was felt. No
power that assisted in Randall's reelection
was as powerful as that of Tilden, and had ii
not been for him, Mr.. Randall would now be
in private station in place of being in the
third place in the nation. The New York
upturning is another exhibition of the same
influence. Not only does it give Tilden a
vast amount of patronage to disburse where
it will do the most good, but it gives him
practical contapl over Tammany, and de-
prives his bitterest enemy, John Kelly, of his
capacity for doing him harm.


Whether we approve or disapprove of Til
den's candidacy, we cannot but admire the
consummate tact he and his friends have
displayed in conducting his campaign. They
have been "sly, de-vil-ish sly,'' to quote Joe
Bagstock. Their operations have been con-
Quoted secretly, and have been seen by the
public only in results. Those results have
served uniformly to advance Mr.. Tilden's
cause, both before the public and in official
circles. It is good while before the nomi-
mating convention, but at present Tilden's
star seems in the ascendant.

TIE interview of GLOBE reporter with
ex-senator Ramsey discovers the painful
fact that he is racked with anxiety relative
to the Berlin mission. He is afraid it won't
pay to accept the appointment, and then he
is afraid he won't get it, notwithstanding
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Judge CroweIl
have united in urging the President to force
it upon him. In this painful dilemma the
GLOBE ventures to suggest something to the
ex-senator which aoiI pay. Let him improve
a little-just a little-of his city property
and he will find it will pay. St. Paul
has honored him with political favors and in
return he has done as much as any ten


men to retard our growth. Owning proper
ty in almost ali parts of the city, he never
builds anything, or grants lease which en-
ables any one else to put up more than a
shanty. The city is suffering for both stores
and residences, and one of the men who
ought years ago to have been foremost in
building up ST. Paul, lifts not finger but
allows others to increase the value of his
property by their enterprise. When he was
in public life his friends used to urge that

ANNA DICKINSON is 500 thin-skinned--too
susceptible to critcsm-to become either
successful dramatic author or actress. Every
reader of the daily papers will remember
how she stormed and fumed when her first
efforts on the stage were somewhat sharply
criticised. She seemed to think that all the
newspaper writer's in the country had en-
gagged in a conspiracy to drive her from the
stage, never for moment acknowledging
that there might be some justice in their
commenting on her acting. Now, because a
New York critic said some severe things
about her latest drama, she has burst forth
into a column of space in which she attempts
to prove him an ignoramus. Anna should
not be too violent or censure too severely
those who cannot agree with her in the be-
lief that she is the greatest dramatic writer
and actress in the world.

Kansas City Journal.l


The young man who secures good busi-
ness training in well conducted ''business
college, has many advantages in starting
out in life over one who has not the same
training, and for this reason every city
should have one training school of this kind.
The time is coming when this will be part
of the public school system. But this mat
ter of ''business colleges is too often over
done by inexperienced men venturing to
open just one more, which cripples the
legitimate institutions, and itself drags out
feeble existence, leaving both devoid of
usefulness. A case in point:


We notice from the st. Paul Pioneer Press
that somebody who seems to have more en-
terprise than discretion contemplates estab-
fishing another business college in that city.
This experiment of running two colleges has
been tried in places of twice or three times
the size of st. Paul, and has, we believe,
uniformly resulted in failure. The only
effect has been that, while they lasted, the
efforts of both we're crippled, thus making
an exception to the maxim that
"competition is the life of trade.'' We
know something by experience of the
college alrea ly in st. Paul, and should think
it fully adequate to the wants of the COM
munity. If it is not so considered there,
much change must have taken place in the
feelings of the public within the past year
or two that we have ceased to be conversant
with the affairs of the Northwest. At all
events the st. Paul college is conducted
by men who will not lightly yield what has
taken so many years to build up.

FEW of our property owners appear to

there is yet far too little of f.this enterprise
manifested. There is an abundance of eligi-
bic resid ence property on all our streets
lying idle that ought to be made profitable
in this manner. We trust there will be

From the Courier-Joprnal.l


The little county town of Snead-
vile, Hancock county, near here,
away from railroad communica-
tion, has witnessed tragedy that
exhibits curious phase Of justice.
About eight miles from the village
their lived, few weeks ago,
family of well-to.do farmers, called
the Eppersons. The family consist
ed Of father, mother. four sons and
two daughters. The father was a
good man, but was occasionally un-
der the influence of drink. At such
times he was dangerous, surly and
unmanageable. There had been
some talk about the relations of the
man and his wife, but it was gen.
orally believed that there was
nothing serious between them. A
short time since, Epperson came
home one day under the influence
of liquor, and at once began to quar-.
rel with his wife. In a
few moments they came to
blows, and he was beating his wife
very severely. at this iuncture,
Joe, one Of the sons, ran in, and,
seeing the state of things, went to
the protection of his mother. He
was deformsd man, having been
born with only one arm. AS he in
terfered in the fight, the father
turned from his wife and attacked
Joe savagely, declaring that he
would kill him. Being hard
pressed, Joe whipped out knife
and commenced cutting his father,
and in O few minutes he had cut
the old man to the floor. In the
meantime his elder brother had en-
tered the room, and seeing Joe en-.
gagged in deadly conflict with his
father, determined to take his
fathers part. He therefore drew his
pistol and leveled 1t at his brother.
Before he could fire his mother
ran between Joe and the pistol,
and received the ball in her breast.
The son fired again, and this time
struck his sister in the knee, and
once again, giving a boy brother q
flesh wound. The fracas was
stopped here by the condition of
the father and mother. In short
time the mother died, having been
shot by the eldest son. Before
dying she begged that the
slayer should not be prose.
cuted, as he had killed her un-
Intentionally, and she did not
blame him for interfering for his
father. The father died also, being
k illed by his second son. 1t is said
before he died he also forgave his
slayer, saying that the son was
right to take the part Of the
mother. The sister, who had been
shot in the knee by the Oldest
brother, also died.


or course, the terrible tragedy
created great excitement, even in
this comparatively lawless county.
A sort of preliminary trial Of the
men was had and they were acquit-
ted of any blame in the matter.
The son vino killed his father was
held to have acted purely in self
defence, and the son that killed his
mother and sister was said to have
done 30 accidentally, while inter-
feripg to prevent the commission
of an unlawful act. They were
therefore put at liberty, aud have
been at liberty ever since. 1t IL

Globe Democrat calls the so-called National
Board of Health. The Globe-Democrat's
Memphis correspondent accuses the board Of
planning system new to civilized ages, OF
besieging and fencing In the unfortunate city,"
and thus not only causing total cessation OF
commerce and travel, but also closing every
avenue by which the people could earn live
lihood. He adds:


Sin taking a retrospective view of the sit
uation one is forcibly reminded OF the epi-
demic of 1873 In this city, and the hundreds
cities OF the land OF five times the magnitude
Of this one, with no spread OF the fever else-
where, without disturbance to local commerce
and travel, and without creating even ripple
on the surface outside. All this was before
the National Board Of Health was heard OF s.

1879? Unless upon the spot the most vivid
imagination could not picture to itself the.
desolate, forlorn and lowly condition OF city
once so fair, SO beautiful and enticing to the
merchant and to the tradesman"


But the National Board OF Health must, OF
course, appear to do something for the money
which Congress has SO lavishly and inconsid-
