FAsT FREIGHT.-W made mention few days since, that the growing demands of this section were such that a change was needed in our freight ststcm. Now that Yavapai is shipping annually from san Francisco over three million pounds of mcr- chandisc, costing an aggregate of many hun. dred thousand dollars, and as the iron horse is drinking the waters of our Territory, the old system of taking two months time to re- ccive fresh supplies from San Francisco must necessarily go out of date and new system take its place, wherein parties liv- ing in Prescott will be able, at the outside to receive goods in IS days from the time they are shipped from san Francisco. To this end several different parties have been contemplating the establishing of a fast freight line from Ehrenbcrg to this place. Amongst those most likely to put on fast freight, VIC think the Miller Bros and J. M. Bryan stand foremost Mir sc. Miller lcft yesterday morning for Ehrenberg to make the necessary arrangements for the shipment qf goods every five days from that place to Prescott, which We think nill be convenience, not only to our heavy purcha- sers, but to those who order small lots of goods and aFo always anxious to got them through without delay of from two to three moHthS.

disregard of every law, and the political
arrangements of the State will right them
selves at once. The proposal to have the
rival claimants of the Governorship come

In the New York Herald of Wednes-
day appears long long statement from
P. M. Arthur,of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, in which he denounced
the present management of railroad cor
porations, and asserted that if the system
of arbitration formed by the Brotherhood
had been accepted by the railroads there
would have been no strikes This state
ment upon being shown to Colonel Scott
brought reply that he had answered Mr..
Arthur short time since, and he did not
propose to enter into any further contro-
versy with him, not for the present at
least. President Gowan, upon reading
the statement, made answer to this effect.
That he had no intention of engaging in
any controversy with that person; that he
(Althur) has no Reading Railroad men
in his Brotherhood, and the Reading Rail
road Company have no brotherhood men
in their employment; that not single
mau in the engagement of the company
has either struck o. abandoned his post
during the recent troubles; and further,
that he (Mr. Gowan) has no disposition
to manage Mr.. Arthur IS business, and he
was sure MI. Arthur should never manage
the business Of the Reading Railroad
Company.

II appears that Judge WEST of
Bellefoutainc the Republican candi-
date for Governor Of Ohio is nearly
blind so that he cannot walk ih the
street without being led. This is
great pity and we are very sorry that
any man should be in such a condi-
ton.


But the blindness of the candidate
is nothing compared with the blind
ness of the platform. When great
party deliberately adopts the princi-
pies of Communism among it's cardi-
nal doctrines and lays down as the
chief element of it's policy measure
first proposed by the railway strikers
it makes very little difference whether
its candidate sees with both eyes or
with none at all. The safety OF society
requires that they 'hould be defeated
and that the doctrines which they rel
resent In the canvass should be stamI-
ed with the brand of condemnation
by every sensible and patriotic citi-
zen no matter to what party he be-
longs.

A CLASS MEETING STORY.-When the editor of

"the faith that is in him." and how he was in
duced to fall from his faith, it will doubtless be
similar to the story of old Mother Snooble-

Oh! to 20 back in our lives,


To live them over again,
knowing all that now We know,


Seeing all We saw not then.
OH TO refrain from speaking


Where that hasty word was said
Oh! but TO break that silence


Which weighs on our hearts like lead
Oh! but to iarry once more


At that point where two roads met
And choose as we chose not then,
Made wise by a life's regret
Oh! but to set out afresh


With some who from earth are fed,
Now we've read them by the radiance
Death sheds around the dead!
Thus cry we now and again


In words of remorseful pain,
Yet deep in our heart Of hearts


Thank God that the prayer is vain.

If the eyes fail through overwork, anx-
iety of mind, or debility-from whatever
cause-perfect rest, tonics, sea air and
cold bathing become imperative, if total
blindness is to be averted. Long pOring
over books and papers, especially in the
dusk or by gaslight, will, in process of
time, weaken the strongest eyes in the
world. This is more especially to be
avoided if you are at all near-sighted.
Many people complain of fatigue in the
eyes, or weakness of sight; they cannot
read or write for any length of time
without the page becoming indistinct
and the letters running into each other
These are symptoms which can be re-
moved by attention to the general health,
rest, tonics, and frequently (three or four
times a day., bathing the forehead and
eyes with cold water. But never neglect
them. Cold bathing to the whole body
every day-making habit of it in fact
-is grand conservation of sight. For
this purpose, if the person can bear it,
the shower bath is the best. But in taxi
ing plunge bath, always dash q little
water in the face first, then spring bodily
in; don't take the water a toe at time.
When your eyes are at all weak, never
work or read in the twilight, and never
go out in very bright sunshine, especially
if the ground is covered with snow.
Regular living, temperance, a sufficient
amount of both bodily and mental exer-
else, early hours and the bath, are the
chief preservative of the eyesight.

Garry the radiance of your soul in your
face. Let the world have the benefit of
it, Let your cheerfulness be felt for
good wherever you are, and let your
smiles be scattered sunbeams "on the just
as well as the unjust" Such a disposi-
ton will yield a just reward, for its happy
effects will come home to you and brighten
your moments Of thought. Cheerfulness
makes the mind clear, gives tone to
thought, adds grace and beauty to the
countenance. JOubert says, "When you
give, give it with joy, smiling" Smiles
are little things, cheap articles to be
fraught with so many blessings both to
the giver and the TeceiveT-pleasant little
rpples to watch as We stand on the shore
of every day life. They are higher and
better responses of nature to the emotion
of the soul. Let the children have the
benefit of them-those little ones who
need the sunshine of the heart to educate
them, and would find q level for their
buoyant nature in the cheerful faces of
those who need them. Let them not be
kept from the middle-aged, who need the
encouragement they bring. Give your
smiles also to the aged; they come to
them like the quiet rain of summer, max
ing fresh and verdant the long and weary
path of life. They look for them from
you, who are rejoicing in the fullness of
hfe.-Dr. Holland, in SeribRsr's.

"YE cannot serve God and mammonp
cannot serve justice and injustice, at

In the contests between wealth and la

Why is it, too, in this country, the ten

the legislation of the government to the
injury and robbery Of the ten thousand ?
Why should these ten "favorites of fate'
use their position to multiply their ad-
vantages by "ProteCtion," financial, rail-

County Republican convention last week.

vention in that county" "The fires of
rage and hate that had been smouldering
burst forth and held their way TO the
end" The resolution to indorse Hayes
twas met with an avalanche of Opposi-
ton"


"The President was charged with an
ignominious surrender of Republican
principles, with the Cowardly desertion
of the very men who formed the ladder
by which he and the party climbed into
power, with giving mock support to
civil service reform, and giving place and
power to old rebels, and knocking Ou,
the props of the party by his order to Of
feeholders Even his honesty and in.
tegrity, which the party had so sedulOus
ly bolstered up, was assailed. The cham.
pions of this assault were the men who
for over quarter of century have stood
as bulwarks of RepubiiCanism, and GER
tainly had the right, as they had the
ability, to expound tie principles Of their
party, and speak authoritatively as to
any departure therelrom. Their spt ech
es rang with the vigor and venom of ante
bellum times. and they carried the day
here as they have done in every county
in Ohio where contest has been made.
The advocates of the policy, knowing it
to be a desertion of principle and full
surrender to Democracy, conld only prate

purity of his motives. The resolution
was amended by a mealy y-mouthed sub
stItute, when even that was voted down,
