WOMEN SHOULD READ NEWSPAPERS
1T is great mistake in female educa


tion to keep young lady's time and at
tention devoted only to the fashionable
literature of the day. If you would
qualify her for conversation, you must
give her something to talk about, give
her education in the actual world and
its trauspiring events. Urge her to read
the newspapers, apd become familiar
with the present character and improve
ments of our age. History is of some
Importance; but the past world is dead;
we have nothing to do with it. Our
thoughts and our concerns should be for
the present world; to know what il is
and improve its condition. Let her have
an intelligent opinion, and be able to
sustain conversation according to the
mental, moral and religious improvement
Of our times.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
A bill to authorize a constitutions con


veution to revise the State constitution,
and providing the method of holding
that convention, has been put before the
House by the Committee on Revised
Statutes. There are, unquestiona6iy.
some parts of the constitution that need
revision. but it is questionable whether
said convention, when called, will not do
more harm with that instrument than
good. Better let it alone for the present.

The proprietor OF this celebrated medi-
cine justly claims for it n superiority over
all remedies ever offered to the public for
the safe, certain, speedy, and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever,
whether of short or long standing. He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever viii it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a
great many cases o single dose has been
sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by q single bottle, with a
perfect restoration OF the general health.
1t is, however, prudent, and in every case
more certain to cure, if its use is continued
in smaller doses for a week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually,
this medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order; should the
patient, however, require cathartic medi-
cine, after having taken three or four doses
of the Tonic, single dose Of BULL S VEG
ETBALE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient

OUR letter from Phenix, brief as il is, is one of proper information an6 just the kind which ought to more frequently appear. It was intended for another purpose, but coming toc late therefor, is now used in probably as servicea ble manner. Considering the short time since the Salt River settlement was founded, there has not been full opportunities to experiment much, especially in the matter of fruits, and it is even wonder that so much in tEat way has been accom- plished. Our readers abroad must not take our correspondents state ments as applicable to Arizona at large, but to the valley of Salt River. This Territory has great variety of climate and soils, and different ex- periences will be found in many other sections, and in this lies a nota ble merit. The people ill Salt River valley mostly went there poor, and their progress has been gratifying to nearly all of themselves; but begin ming poor, they could not introduce fruit trees or indulge in experimental farming to much purpose. though they have proven that the valley is productive in most every grain and vegetable, and the fruit experiments ale encouraging.

 The same remarks will mainly apply to the settlements on the Gila river about Florence. We mad hoped that other communities would respond to our request for like information, but as yet none others have.

DURING the past Is months we have observed the spirit of the people of Arizona, and have found it buoyant or depressed just as there were pros poets of early peace or indefinite and indiscriminate war, and at no time more than now has Respondent feeling appeared here, or been reported from other parts of the Territory. It would be idle to disguise this fact. From all past experience. and current official actions in demonstrating be- yond doubt to the Indians that at least one military post is at war with the citizens, and that no matter what their crimes, nor how many, nor when committed, all they have to do to escape punishment and be fed and clad is to flee to Grant, there is no wonder this depression has seized the people.

 In this connection, we feel it to be a bounden duty to warn the citizens against moving about in small parties, and to bear in mind that only last week two men were murdered by Indians in sight of this town.

READ THIs.-Wednesday the 18th instant, the day the cannon and guns of the United States at Camp Grant were ordered to be turned upon a party of peaceable citizens in case they ap- preached a public stream of water to slake their burning thirst, the United States mail rider and stock herder were killed by Indians within about two miles of Tucson, and the mail entirely destroyed. Now comes a man from Camp Grant stating and offering to swear that the aforesaid mail-rider's horse was seen at Camp Grant few days after the murder, and that two Indians rode the horse to that post. Do such facts need com ment?

AN indignant correspondent wants to know why the Indians at Camp Grant were practically taught that the troops at that post were at war with the citizens. He has dished up his feelings with such an array of horrible adjectives, that we decline to give them place in the paper, and if we were to moderately remodel his document and print it, he would prob ably feel that he had no friends any where - therefore it is wholly re- iected.

RICHARD ZOLER, otherwise known as "Old Dick" died at Camp Bowie on the 17th and was buried on the 18th with military honors, in consideration of his having been faithful soldier during the late war. Latterly he had been making farm on the San Simon bottom, about thirty miles east of Bowie. Sickness induced him to return to the post but to die.

ThoUaHTs.-Thoughts are the ali
ments upon which the mind feeds. If
they are kept pure and in constant
exercise, they impart health and Wig
or, and are like fertilizing currents
running through the soil. There is
one view respecting them that should
awaken the greatest anxiety to have
them under proper control. A sim.
pie thought whether good or evil, will
introduce other trains of reflection of
kindred nature. Thoughts love
company, and gather around them
others of a congcnial character, and it
is, therefore, of tho highest Importance
that we should convene within tho
chamber of the mind those Of an en-.
nobling and purifying nature.

PETT1coAT PREcIpITANcY.-M Mary
Dorman, girl about seventeen years
of age, did very foolish and danger.
Gus thing last Tuesday afternoon. She
was passenger on the evening train
for Scranton, and about three miles
from that city she put her head out
of the car window, and away went
her hat on puff of wind. The Re
publican states that she made a grab
for the 1eeting article of head gear
but missed IL, and going to the plat
form, deliberately jumped from the
car after IL. The conductor statcs
that distance of one hundred feet
was Travelled before she struck the
ground, when she rolled over in n
heap. Tho train was stopped and the
girl picked up in a comatose condition.
On the arrival of the train at that city
she was taken to the city hospital,
tho conductor expecting to find moro
of her bones broken. Strange to re.
late, however, not bone was broken,
bat tic girl was so terribly bruised
that it is doubtful whether she can ro-
cover. She is resident of Scranton.
If Mary don't put curb upon hcr pre-.
cipitant disposition, she will stand a
fair chance Of making an early wild
over of the man foolish enough to
marry her.

Republican Meeting in Marshall Ward.
The reporter of the Dispatch, who was sent
over to Marshall ward last night to witness and
report the proceedings OF the Republican
meeting there to be held, must surely have
been lacking in enterprise as well as have been
deficient in hearing. More probably, though
the proceedings of the meeting and the
speeches there made were so convincing and
eloquent, that the Dispatch reporter felt him
self compelled to leave, fearing that he would
be converted and made good Republican -
And hence that paper has no account of what
was there done. The Republicans of Marshall
ward turned out last night to the number of
seven or eight hundred in front of Corbin's
store, and listened to able and eloquent speeches
from Messrs. Bowden and Shields, and such
were the cheers with which their remarks were
greeted. we are sure that had this reporter
been within two miles of the place of meeting
he would have heard and known what was GO
ing on. We would advise the Dispatch to
dispatch in the future more enterprising and
diligent reporters to Republican meetings.

slider and report upon our claims. The fishery
question is q small affair and can be easily
settled But ii the New Dominionites present
claims for losses sustained by Fenian raids; If
Southern rebels and English merchants pre-
sent bills for cotton losses, we must openly
and honestly say, before the Commission oom-
mences to deliberate, that the American peo-
pie will not abide by it's decisions, and that it
must and will prove failure. Let 1t not be
forgotten that the Joint High Commission can
only approve and recommcnd-that Congress
must decide. Whatever the Joint High Com
mission may do, however wine and good dinners
and pleasant talk may influence the members
and mould or modify their sentiments, the
American people will look to Congress and
hold Congress responsible. As we have faith
in the American people, SO have we faith In
Congress. AT the same time let 1t be under
stood that if the Joint High Commission acts
wisely and well we shall rejoice nor shall we
be unwilling to give President Grant a fair
share of praise. If it does not well we shall
show 1t no mercy. We shall take note OF all
its doings, and according to the evidence Of
each successive day we shall praise or blame.

Doubtless she reached her destination on time,

WESTERN GAME AND WESTERN CAMS
LAws.-How Is it that while the Western
game laws have been in force for month
or more our markets have been for some
time overstocked with prairie chickens
and other Western game? By the way,
is the buffalo to be counted in as
''game?" Buffalo meat is as plenty in New
York at this time as common beef, and sells for
less Any one inclined to get up an extern
pore prairie dinner can go to Washington Mar
ket, buy his prairie chickens, his buffalo and
antelope steaks, and, selecting rasping,
cold, wintry day, ride in the horse cars to
Central Park-and camp out. The local
authorities of the Park might furnish the ne
cessary cooking utensils and some neighboring
grocery the corn juice. Seriously, II these
Western game laws are worth observing at all
this is the time to enforce them; for the i'm
mense influx Of immigrants into that section
of the country, the building Of railroads and
other attendants upon the march Of improve
mont In the present day will soon cause the
valuable game Of the region to disappear.

CLUB LIFE IN PARIS. Paris Jockey and
Rue Royale Clubs have adopted resolution
which declares that "all candidates of Ger

ship Of the associations. This is a poor sys-
tenn of Known Nothingism-a spirit which we
have hitherto regarded as being entirely
foreign to the French character. 1t may be
that the cable report is not exactly correct.
Should it prove so it must be said that the
action Of the city clubs tends to indicate how
keenly the Parisians feel their humiliation.
The Germans will most probably retort by the
assertion that they have ridden the winning
horse, Notwithstanding the French sporting
ban.

The PENNSYLVANIA Coal CONSPIRACY. In
spite Of the fact that the coal operators" as
they are called, had surplus of two million
tons Of coal stored away-that is to say, just
that amount over the average stock-we find
that the strike of the miners in certain parts
Of the coal regions is made pretext for the
advance in price to twelve dollars ton, which
was the retail market price yesterday. There
is no plausible reason for this, unless it is to
be found in the ruthless determination of the
coal men to inflict an extortion upon the peo-
pie anyhow. The conspiracy has been, SO far,
adroitly manipulated between the coal monopo-
lists and the railroads. The latter have, nomi-
nally, perhaps, advanced the cost of trans
portation to an exofbitant sum, thus giving an
excuse to the coal operators to raise their
prices. We know how easily these things can
be managed by afiliating monopolies, and,
therefore, we are not convinced that the pre-
sent rise in the price of coal is necessity Of
trade On the contrary, we are satisfied that
it is deliberate extortion.

A LOCAL AND>A DANGEROUS NUISANCE.
A SON Of our Superintendent of Police the
other day had one Of his eyes nearly knocked
out by SNOWFALL hurled at his head. Why
don't Superintendent Kelso issue an order
prohibiting the dangerous practice of Snow
balling in the public streets and avenues
During the height of the slei Ching it was as
much as ones life was worth for man to take
his family out on quiet sleigh ride, in con-
sequence Of the discharge Of volleys of these
nj missiles. some Of them composed Of some
thing heavier than snow, By gangs Of va.
grants. A number of accidents from runaway
horses have been occasioned thereby. II was
the late Superintendent Jourdan, we believe,
who suppressed base ball playing in the public
street. Why not put down the equally dan
gerous practice of deliberately pelting people
with balls Of snow and ice /? Pedestrians and
others have rights which the city authorities
oughtto respect, and this is one of them. 1t
may be like locking the stable door after the
snow is gone; but ''better late than never"

NOTICE.


To the Delinquent Taxpayers of Lincoln


county:


Many persons complain to me that they have
paid their taxes while you have not, and that
by reason of your failure to pay, their taxes are
increased and that I, as a sworn officer, do not
discharge my duty faithfully aslong as I neglect
to enforce the law in your case. Remember that
there is no property exempt under the law, and
that the law requires me to levy and sell for de.
lnquent taxes, just the sane as under executions.
Though the collection of the taxes by levy
and sale will to me be very unpleasant ard un-
profitable, yet, in Wow of the above facts, and
the additional fact that the delinquent list il
much too large, I shall, after the lst day Of
June, proceed to collect them.


Delinquent tax payers, do you know that you
arc paying Is per cent. on your taxesf and
would It not bo better for you to borrow st teu
per cont?


You had better sell your property, yourself
You will thereby save costs snd got twice .,
much for it, for you know that property sold
under the hammer does not generally bring more
than one-hslf It's value.
r. WING, Collector.
