Let me tell you of one home which
Will never be desolated by drunkenness.
Among the pictures in the sitting-room,
where the children meet father and
mother in happy companionship many
times q day, hangs total abstinence
pledge, with the signature of every men,
ber of the family upon it. And the
parents take pleasure in it, speaking of
it with satisfaction, thanking God for it,
keeping the idea prominent in the minds
of their children. No intoxicating liquor,
for any purpose, ever comes into that
house. Neither for cooking, for medi
cine, or for cleaning, is child ever sent
to purchase alcohol, or any Of its foul
kindred.


Parents, for the sake Of the children,
the dear little children, whom you can
not keep in your arms always, keep up a
public sentiment in the home that shall
be guard to them, when they 60 out in
the world; set them m example like the
north star to guide them, md then, and
always, pray to our Father to "deliver
from evil"

At Delhi visited one Of those Gotha
women who never appear in public, and,
if obliged, as in the case OF this Durbar,
90 closely yelled or with q screen before
them. 1t was the Princess of Taniore.
Ind went with q lady interpreter whom
knew. 1 was met by the husband Of
the princess, dressed all in cloth of gold.
He conducted us to his wife, who was
seated upon ahigh gilded chair, and before
her was gilded ono for me, placed in
the center, one at my right for Miss
FIRTH. the interpreter, and one at my
left for q niece, who is the heiress ap-
parent. These were arranged i'll half
circle before her. She was dressed in
cloth of gold, with diamond fringed
head dress, pearls, rubies and emeralds
innumerable. In the head dress were
gold tassels and large pins of precious
stones. \ diamond necklace was worn
close about the throat, and ruby, and
then all emerald, necklace hanging be-
low. Two armlets were worn at the top
of each arm, and two near the wrist. A
wide tape of Jewels, us may say, came
from the front ornament of her cap down
to the top of each ear, and each ear was
pierced from the top of the lobe to the
bottom, with rings of pearls and dia-
monds. In her nose SHE had five or six
immense diamonds, set in the form of n
leaf, which reached from the edge of the
nostril, on the left side, up to the bridge
of the nose; then pearl of the size of
large pea hung pendant from the center
of the nose until it fell over the lip.


After q few courtesies the husband
babe me welcome and passed to me q
silver cup holding altar of rose and betel
nut, wrapped in leaf lying i'll the sal
yer. I touched the betel nut, and he
put drop of the perfume OH my hand
kerchief. He then showed me the belt
of Jewels which his wife had worn, to
hold the sword of her grandfather, while
on visit to the viceroy. 1t was mass
of diamonds all across the front, and the
rest was heavily wrought gold, almost
too heavy for 50 little body to wear.
She then put her cloth Of gold veil over
the head of her little niece, that I might
see how completely covered she had
been during the interview, only she had
placed the head dress, which she had
then on, upon the top of her veil, and
had looped up her veil to her shoulder
that the viceroy should have the benefit
of the Jewels on her arms. The little
girl sung for me, in English : Twinkle,
twinkle little STAR" and "How doth the
little busy bee. ."-Lcttcr in Boston

Aslong ago ASSIST company in the
West began the manufacture of building
paper, and nowit has three large mills that
turn out sixteen tons per day. The paper
thus manufactured is "a thick, hard paste
board wound in rolls of twenty-five to
one hundred pounds each, and usually
thirty-two inches wide. While it is
being made it is subjected to an enormous
pressure, which congresses the fibers
into solid body. The sheet becomes abso-
lutcly alright, and as paper is O non-
conductor of heat it resists the action Of
both heat and cold. A building lined
with it resists the entrance of heat in
summer and cold in winter. In case
of fire the paper sheets do not burn so
easily as wood on account of their hard
ness and solidity. This queer building
material has been tried in cold and in
warm climates, and found to work admir-
ably in all conditions and all circuln-
stances

Whose blood lept madly when the tumpets
brayed
10 joyous battle mid storm OF steeds'
Won rich kingdom on battle day;
But in the sunset he was ebbing fast,
hinged by his weeping lords. His left hand held
His white steed, to the belly splashed with
blood,
That seemed to mourn him with his dropping
head;
His right his broken brand ; and in his ear
His old victorious banners flap the winds.
He called his faithful herald to his side

The warrior with stab let out his soul,
Which fed, and shrieked through all the other

chicks and striped, mottled chicks
and chicks of every color known to
the chicken world were scampering
up and down in the pens, and run

filled with hot water and placed a

blanketing, and the chicks creep un.

THE most iniquitous features of the grand jury system, received a righteous

 blow this week by Chief Justice French In

 his charge to one Of the very best grand juries ever impanneled in Pima County. He was determined that the grand jury should be well advised this time to indict no person on testimony which could be shown by other testimony within it's reach to be unirustworthy. He plainly and lawfully instructed the jury to investigate a charge by receiving evidence tending to disprove it, or explain away it's criminal character. Judge French is the first judge in this county tor Territory so far as we know or can learn, who has ever charged jury in this righteous manner. Last Spring the Judge remarked in a charge that grand juries found too many indlct- ments and petit jurieS too few verdictS, and thus a vast expense is added 10 the coun- ty, with no other notable results save the unjust backening Of character and an in- creased contempt for the legal machinery intended to punish criminals and give protection to innocent people.

A great deal Of this sort of unequal taxation has been resorted to heretofore and in this way a few Of the liberal people have paid out of all proportion to the prop erty they possess. It is high time that ex- penses incurred for the benefit Of all the people should be paid by all the people according 10 the value Of theIr property. This is the only just way, and we are glad to know the people here who have so often subscribed and paid liberally while many large property owners have not giv- en cent, are discouraging the subscrip- ton business for services for the benefit Of all the people without exception.

TORY FOR lS77.-The second volume of this valuable and indispensable work has just been issued by the Publishers, Messrs Walter Heugh & Co.,, of 3 Park Place, New York. No pains or expense has been spared in the production of the present volume to make it complete and reliable. In typographical appearance and binding, certainly it is a fine specimen of book mak- ing. It contains over one hundred pages more matter than the last years volume, which has added largely to the cost of the production of the work, and compelled the Publishers to issue hereafter only the full cloth bound edition at One Dollar per copy, upon the receipt of which sum they will forward the work to any address in the United States or Canada, by mail, postage prepaid.

pounds of saltpetre, and set down to
boiling. When the saltpetre is fully
dissolved and the water boiling, immerse
your beef, previously, cut into conven-
lent pieces for family use, in the boiling
saltpetre water. It can be so held in
the water on large flesh fork, or long
hook. Let it remain immersed while
you count ten, slowly. Take out, let it
get quite cold, and then pack closely and
firmly in the cask or barrel. To your
boiling saltpetre water now add nine
pounds of fine salt, three pounds Of pure,
dry sugar, one quart of best molasses,
and one of pearlash. Boil slowly, and
as the impurities arise skim off. If
your water should have been long boil
