He was a paymaster in the U. S. army, •ad has recently been placed upon the XWtired list. . "Discipline is a great thing,* said he, tne other day, in conversation at the Hew Denisou Honse. "I was at Fort Prescott, in Arizona, paying off troops, when a man came up to my ta­ ble for his pay. He was one of the toughest men in thearmy,noted as a des­ perado. There was something wrong in his pay roil, and 1 could.not pav him. He had no pleasant expression ca his countenance as he turned away, but I thought little of tbafr at the time. Next day I was to go from Fort Prescott to Fort McDowell to pay the troops there. The officer in command had promised an escort of fifteen or eighteen men, but next morning, when ready to start, he said that, owing to a wholesale de­ sertion of men during the night, he would have to limit my escort to nine .men. We started, passing on the road a lieutenant and a number of the sol­ diers looking for the deserters. We vent on until we came to a camping place. " Ono man and myself went on some distance alone, wjien suddenly two men came before us. They said tliey had come from the Salt River region, and asked the direction to some place. X answered them and they passed on. My companion wanted to know if I did not recognize them. I did not, and he then told me that they were two of the desertera. Heaving this soldier in charge of our things, I started back after the deserters, and, ooming up with them, rode between the two and told them they were under arrest as deserters. Just then I heard the click of a trigger, and, turning about, found the muzzle of a rifle within an inch of my head. At that instant I recognized the fellow holding the gun as the des­ perado. I did not say a word--didn't know what to say--but merely looked at him.- He hesitated a moment, and the muzzle of the gun turned to the ground. There was just one thing saved my life, the discipline that fellow had received in the regular army, the respect to a superior officer that had been his daily education year after year. I told them to 'about face,' marched them back to camp, and delivered them to the commanding officer without any trouble whatever. When I handed them over to that person he made just one remark--'Well, Gould, you are the • fellow I ever saw.' 1 said noth­ ing, for really there was yery little in the exploit. It was only a matter of discipline." An Offer ef Matrimony. -The Lite) 'dry World, in a review of Brush's new book, "Inside Our Gale," says perhaps the most delight­ ful delineations is Tibbie, the Scotch oook, with her shrewdness, her aphor­ isms, her lovers, and her calm Christian determination toward her own way. The offer made her by "Meester Mac- Farlane, baker," in the presence of her mistress is something delicious: "I just called to say, Miss Catherine Elizabeth Drummond, that I made ve an offer of matrimony this day week, an' I wad like an answer." ---^Tibbie looked as innocent as a lamb. "Weel, sir," she said, "if a* ye require is an answer, I suppose as long as ye get an answer, ye ainna care what it may be." "Ye ken weel that I care," replied the suitor, doggedly. "The last time I was here ye made objections to me bein' a baker, but ye suld pick that bone wi' me father for apprenticin' me to the trade. Ye remarket that ye'd always intended to marry wi' a sailor; bq£ I canna be a sailor a grippin' wet ropes, nor climbin' up bare poles like a dancin' bear, to pleasure even ye, at my time of life."' Mr. MacFaflane's temper was up a bit; he didn't know Tibbie as well as I did. A firm expression was setting about her mouth, and a glitter in her .eyes, . , "What settled objection ha'e ye to a baker ?" he continued. "It always mak's me sick to me stom- ick," replied Tibbie, "to think of flour and water muddled the get<her by men folk. 1 've hurd that they tramps crack­ ers wi' their feet, too--heaven forbid!" • /This was too much for Mr. MacFar- ;.li»e. "Ha'e ye never tasted baker's bread i& yer life, he continued, warmly, "nor crackers, lass?" J" Weel, T maun confess I ha'e," re­ turned Tibbie, in a provokiogly calm voice. "When I was a bit o' a lass and didna ken Avhat I was eatin'; we a' maun our peck o' dirt." "An' ha'e ye nae eaten baker's bread sin' ye were grown ?" It sounded like a stern controversy between consumer and manufacturer, father than like a conversation between lover and sweetheart. "Well, I ha'e," admitted Tibbie, "when took wi' the pangs o' hunger and oonsidcrin' what the chosen people eat in the destruction o' Jerusalem; but I eat it wi' me eye fixed on the ceilin', and repeatin' a verse of Scripture to divert me mind till it were weel gulpet down." Jfte Chicago Man Who Married an Iu- dian Princess. Without a doubt one of the happiest men in the Sioux country at this time is C. P. Jordan, Indian post trader at Bosebud agency. Jordan has a good deal of influence among the Sioux, and the Commission was greatly indebted to him while at Rosebud agency. Jordan is a white man, but his wife is a full-blooded Indian, aud a niece of men on the reservation. Jordan aooon* panied Red Cloud upon his trip to Washington last spring, and acted as interpreter in dealing , with the government officials. The old chief and his nephew by marriage were re­ ceived with much favor np»n their east­ ern trip.--Minneapolis Journal. What is Fate! We laeet many people who readily believe in chance or fate--people, too,' from whom we should expect, better things. In a great many cases, how­ ever it is the superstitious and idle who are ready to believe in fate and con­ sider themselves badly dealt with by the goddess of fortune, when in nine cases out of ten non success is a man's own fault. Steady perseverance that will be deterred by no difficulties is the true arbiter of destiny. It will accom­ plish more than anything decreed by since time was. Does not our own will, soon or late, attain for us ! what we desire? We have observed in life there are rarely any startling effects, but gradual evolutions worked out bv rule. Human beings do not invent their own lives, bftfc are influenced by the accident of their surroundings, and use the materials given to them, some well, some ill, some wisely, some foolishly. Our inclinations and prejudices being so much a matter of training, should make us very tolerant of other people's opinions; for as a rule your men of broad views and liberal ideas have been reared and surrounded by everything favorable to their advancement. In many cases men rise from poverty to distinguished careers, but in going back to their early history, we find that their ability to excel was in the majority of cases fostered by a mother of intel­ lectual superiority for her station. It is said of the mother of Charles Dickens that despite the poverty from which she suffered, she was a woman of superior gifts, and was a marvellous story teller. She possessed in a great degree a keen sense of the ridiculuous, with its invari­ able accompaniment--pathos. In her gifted son were blended the distinguish­ ing traits, humor and pathos, which he no doubt inherited from his mother. Who can ever read the death of Paul Dombey, without realizing the intensity of Dickens' pathos ? It is impossible for his nairow minded father to see through any spectacles save his own; in his eyes his narrow way is the only one; he will go in one groove to the end of his days. His friends, being men of his own stamp, are not the kiucl to enlarge his ideas, he pities the rest of mankind who do not belong to his narrow creed. So many wait, Micawber like, for something to turn up. and hope fate will prosper them! If they went to work with steadiness of pnrpo.se and well directed energy, they would soon turn something up. W7e believe firmly that "God helps those who helps them­ selves." He never intended His crea­ tures to depend on chance or fate. If they do, they will not come out winners in the race of life. Longfellow gave good advice when lie bade men "meet the shadowy future without fear and with a brave heart." THE ARIZONA. KICKER. Truthful Fact* From Trttilifol Jame*.

"The war's hardly over vet," said a gentleman to the Talking Machine the other day. "I see by the papers that a man picked up a rusty army revolver on Marve's Heights, opposite Harper's Ferry the other day. It had probably lain there exposed to the weather for a quarter of a century, yet when he went to fooling with it it went off and shot him through the body. It is barely possible that a cartridge might remain good that length of time, but not at all 1 probable. j "Some five years after the war I was removing bodies from James' island, on the South Carolina coast, to Beaufort. They were the remains of Union soldiers killed at the battle of Seeessionville, in which the Federal forces were worsted. My escort was an Ex-Con- federate officer who had been in that battle. WTe came to a small earthwork, hardly larger than a rifle pit. A lot of negroes were hoeing cotton near by and they came over to see what our party was doing. " 'Here,' said the officer, pointing to a certain corner of the pit, 'I planted a torpedo with a percussion exploder. It was merely a lager beer keg filled with gun powder.' "One of the negroe3, out of curiosity, began to dig in the corner with his hoe. We turned and walked toward our boat. These cotton hoes are broad, heavy, long-handled affairs which the negroes use with considerable vigor and skill. We had hardly reached the boat before there was a tremendous explosion. Fragments of the negro were flying through the air, part of his body lodg­ ing in the trees. We turned back and found that the negro had evidently struck the percussion with his hoe, and the torpedo had exploded, killing him and two other field hands who were standing by. "Repeatedly people were killed all over the South in^similar ways for years after the war. 1 remember of an old colored woman who had gathered four heavy shells from some battlefield. They had failed to explode, and she used them to support her wash-kettle over an open fire. One day the fire was unusually hot and the shells exploded. The first sent the kettle, clothes, water and all into the next county; the second knocked down half ber cabin; the other two promiscuously devastated the neighborhood. Strangely enough, the old woman was uninjured, though she was within three rods of the fire when the battery let go."--Washington Post. in preference. Do we turn the other cheek ? Not much! The first thing we did after receiving the news last night was to burn up a vest which was purchased at Wanamaker's ten years ago. We shall never, never buy another dud from his establishment. We ask onr friends to make the same resolve. The Nero must be brought to terms. Hi« haughty form must be rubbed in the dust. He must be given to understand that the bulwarks of American liberty still tower aloft, and that no free-born American can be trampled on with im­ punity. Sic Semper tyrannis! Which means that we have» camped on his trail. PAINFUL ACCIDENT--Together with about twenty other gentlemen, we weie sitting in front of the Crook House last Tuesday evening, when the Tucson stage suddenly drove up, having unex­ pectedly arrived fifteen minutes ahead of time. One of the outside passengers had the appearance of a detective, and there was a sudden scatteration of loungers. It was laughable to see Col. Jones, Maj. Wickham, Judge Perdue, Prof. Wise and others tumble over each other as they broke for the sage brush. , An unfortunate accident occurred in this connection. The Hon. Timothy Shooks, late of Indiana, probably be­ lieving that he had been sent for for barn burning, or horse stealing, fell over a bench in his hurry to abscond and broke his left leg, and it will pro­ bably be two months before he will be able to be about again. A POSSIBLE MISTAKE--Col. Keho Jones, who was pulled up to a limb by the boys the other night as a warning that no snide games will be allowed in any gambling house in this bailiwick, has called at the Kicker office toe pro­ test that we were mistaken in the way we sized him up in our local columns. He showed us letters of recommenda­ tion from prominent parties in Wash­ ington, Philadelphia and New York, and he exhibited the Testament given him by his mother twenty-three years ago and worn, over his heart ever since. We may possibly have been mistaken in "writing the gentleman up as a forger, embezzler, bigamist and escaped oon- vict, and in encouraging the buys to pull bis neck as a warning. It so, we are very sorry. The only way he can satisfy us ot his integrity is to frown upon anything like a skin game in his establishment iu the future.

This rope as most of our readers are aware, is made for and exclusively used as neckties for bad men.

And so on through t^he ses­ sion for the day. Whoever was so un­ fortunate as to hold it when school closed at night, was flogged--poor little fellow! However, the system, as might have been expected, did not work; it was bet­ ter suited to the Dark Ages than to modern England. And so it was dropped, and the small Welshman now chatters and recites in his own familiar tongue. Clubbing Doesn't Kill. Capt. John Gunner, in his farther discussion of the New York police force in Medical Classics for August, says that the blow of a policeman's club usually produces contusion, especially when applied, as it generally ig, to the body. In fact, he goes on to say, for the purpose of disabling an opponent, a blow in the ribs is one of the most effi­ cacious. It gives tha recipient a sense of "goneness" in his inside, that takes up liis'entire attention for a few min­ utes to the exclusion of all desire to in­ flict bodily harm on the myrmidons of the law. Even after he recovers his breath he is more inclined to use it in denouncing police brutality, than to make any further personal experiments in that direction. If the blow falls on the head a con­ tused wound may be produced. This, if severe, is sometimes accompanied by quite a copious hemorrhage, giving the wound a ghastly and sickening aspect. Sometimes, if the stroke is given with great force, the wound may be not only contused, but also lacerate. This is about as much damage as the locust, or even the ebony or rosewood, i* capable of inflicting; still when the weapon is swung with the full force of a powerful man excited by hand-to-hand fighting, or desperately defending himself against several armed assailants, a skull is sometimes fractured. A case of this kind is. at times, peculiarly dangerous, as the following incident will show: A man was brought to the Htation- house apparently with nothing worse under his hat than a "brick." There was no external appearance of any wound. He was partially unconscious, but revived sufficiently to give his name and address, and was put into a cell. In the morning he was taken to court, paid his fine, and was released. He was about the streets for several days, but. finally, was obliged to take to his bed and send for a physician, on account of trouble with his head. A close ex­ amination then, for the first time, re­ vealed the fact that his skull was frac­ tured. In spite of the doctor's efforts, the man died. This i3, of course, a* very unusual case, but it shows how great should be the care of the surgeon in examining what may seem to be a slight wound, or no wound whatever, provided he knows that the blow has been struck. In the above case the fracture was not felt un­ til inflammation had set in around it, us a call before purchasing elsewhere. THERE Is ONE.---In answer to "Cor­ respondent" last week, who asked if there was a railroad line running through this town, we replied that if such a line existed we had never heard of it in the two years of onr sts\y. We now desire to inform him that there is a line--a branch of the U. P. Road-- and that it runs two trains per day aud gives excellent service. The manager of the line, Mr. Ben Davis, called at our office yesterday and handed us an annual pass over the line, and ae take pleasure iu saying that the oars are of the best make, the fare reasonable and that the line has done much to build up our town. "NciT YET.--We have often been asked why we did not establish a Daily Kicker, and many individuals have promised us their hearty support. In the first place we are now running under one roof a great weekly news­ paper, a harness shop, a grocery, a feed store and a great boot and shoe house, and we haven't much spare time, and in the second place when we have any money to throw away we'll do it by establishing a school of philosophy for Indians. We've got a good thing as it is, and we don't sigll for the whole earth."--Detroit Free Press. in a pressure on Students ef Bulletins. ; To watch the readers of ft newspa­ per bulletin l>oard is productive of much knowledge of human nature. Among the many who garner most of their information concerning the world's going on from the tall annouce- ments in red. blue or black, you w ill find the credulous, incredulous, excitable, irascible, humorous, witty, delighted, patriotic enthusiastic, pessimistic de­ spondent, and the infinite other varie­ ties of beings. If you stand on Washington street near the newspaper offices any week day you may see a little old man con­ sult each bulletin and take copious notes in a pocket diary. He does not neglect any bulletin, giving careful at­ tention to each; and it is said that lie thus keeps a record of the world's events. He has been doing this for about five years, and although there are numerous sources where he might get his data for a trirling sum, ho pre­ fers to be his o^n hi-doiian. Another conspicuous student of the bulletin boards is a woman, who re­ ports her observations to her spouse at the dinner table. She is a rara avis, for women, as a general thing, do not care to stop in the street to read. I A well-diessed gentleman who, on going to his place of business, is oblig­ ed to pass three newspaper offices, saves himself the trouble, he says of reading the different papers, by glanc­ ing at the bulletins, and thus is guided in his choice of morning papers. Drivers of cabs generally examine the table of contents on the bulletin board before purchasing and, having driven arouud to the various offices, choose the menu of news that suits their merttal. tastes. This, of course, is not true of cabmen who have their special paper, which they buy, rain or Bhine, and read while lounging on the box, or sitting on the floor of their car­ riage, with both feet resting on the step--a favourite posture with cabby while reading. Passengers of horse-cars prove the most anxious of bulletin gazers. Fre­ quently they may be seen turning around in their seats straining their eyes to take in the announcements in full before the cat passes. Notable events, such as international yacht races, national, State and mun­ icipal elections, bring solid cohorts in front of the bulletin boards, and then you cannot distinguish any grade or elass, for then everybody is a bulletin gazer and receives the bulletin's proc­ lamation as genuine oracles.--Boston Globe. A Lover's Predicament. A curious incident happened at Milan not long since. In a family of weavers are two beautiful twin sisters, so ex­ actly alike that only their most inti­ mate acquaintances can distinguish be­ tween them. A young cabinet-maker courted one. as he supposed, but made love to both without knowing it, and the girls kept each her secret. One day recently the cabinet-maker visited the mother, and asked the hand of her daughter in marriage. The mother called the girls, and for the first time he saw them both together; and when asked which of her daughters he sought to make his companion he was com­ pletely nonplused, and could not tell t'other from which." He did not know how to decide, and, as each girl averred it was she whom he had court­ ed, lie asked time to consider which he would take. Practical.

Here is a stbry of how the late S. L. M. Barlow, the "bigfee la\yyer" of New York, made $25,000 in thirty minutes*. "Commodore Garrison and a party of enterprising gentlemen had made a con­ tract with Gambetta for the supply of a quantity of arms for the French govern­ ment. The amount of money involved was $1,600,000. Before the contract was filled Gambetta had fallen. Tliiers came into power, and thiuking the price of the contract exorbitant repudiated it. The party who had contracted for these arms became savage, and not knowing what to do with them began to quarrel. They were on the point of appointing a receiver and selling out the whole cargo at auction, when Mr. Bar­ low appeared among them as the rep­ resentative of a gentleman who had a $10,000 interest in the concern. After having heard what every one of them had to say, he invited the whole party to his house one evening, explaining to brutally practical ! them that their quarrels could not make them any better off, and in half an hour drew up an agreement which all signed. A*few weeks later the arms were all shipped and Mr. Bar­ low received $25,000 for half an hour's work.--New York Press. children from the union. There is a ro­ mantic story in connection with this marriage. Jordan comes from an ex­ cellent family. He has two brothers distinguished in army circles. His par­ ents still live in Chicago and are classed among the most aristocratic people in the Garden Citv. C. P. Jordan' went to Dakota when a young mau and ac­ cepted a government position. It was but a few months later that he met his Indian wife. She was then a young girl. Jordan rescued her from drown­ ing and they soon became lovers. The girl was by birth a princess of the Sioux nation and the wedding was celebrated With great eclat. . Jordan is still a young man, but he is quite wealthy. He owns a large cattle ranch near Rosebud and has hundreds of acres of land. He wears his hair long, falling below his shoulders, and his mustache is heavy, now iron gray in eolor, and his appearance makes him #eof the most distinguished looking woman, a broad shouldered, good-na­ tured creature, who was hanging out the clothes. "Elise makes him nervous every time she doe3 anything with him. I to think I shall have to trust his bath to some one else. How would you like to undertake it, Mrs. McLean ?" The washerwoman shook her head. "Beggin' yer pardon, mum, I sint hankerin' after that kind of a job." "No, but really," said Mrs. Cook, bending forward in interested consider­ ation, "let us think it over. Now how would you begin to give Fido hie bath?" ' The washerwoman thought it over, a& she was requested to do. Then she smiled broadly. "If 'twas left to me, mum," she an­ nounced, "I think I'd put him asoak over night, an' then run him through the wringer!" And, strange to say, she was never asked to perform the ooeratidjq* Mother-Tongue. A writer in Wide-Aivake remarks Upon the pathetic way in which a sub- begin !• jugated people, cling to their native tongue. And it is true that a people can never be said to be truly conquered# so long as they refuse to speak the lan­ guage of the conqueror. The Welsh-- that subdued yet unsubduable people-- have never ceased to speak Welsh. You will be told that they have al­ ready ceased to speak it; that the use of the language is fast dying out; but di­ rectly you draw near the boundaries of that portion of Great Britain, you begin to hear it. It is a formidable language in print, but easily managed by the tongue. In many Welsh families, especially in remote districts, it is the only language spoken. And when, a few years since, the decree went out from London that in the Board schools in Wales only En- should^e spokei, it fell hard upon i the brain. This does not^generally oc cur until twenty-four hours have elapsed, and. as in- the above case, it may not be felt for forty-eight hours or more. It is dangerous to neglect evens ordinary contused wounds, erysipelas beiujj liable to set in. A Queen as a Balloonist* Queen Christina has given another proof of her coolness and pluck which has created great enthusiasm among her soldiers. A detachment of the Roval Engineers, with their officers, were about to make a first trial of some military balloons recently purchased in France, and were working knee-deep iu mud in the Royal Park, some miles outside Madrid, when suddenly a royal carriage appeared, iu which were seated the Queen, Countess Sorondegui (Mistress of the Robes) and Col. Ayallon (Aide- de-Camp). The Queen picked her way, not easily, through the mud to where the engineers were preparing the bal­ loon, and she astonished everybody by saying that she had come for the ex­ press purpose of joiuing in the first ascent. Her lady-in-waiting declined to accompany her, when Her Majesty lightly stepped into the balloon with Col. Ayallon, The order was then given to let the cable go, and, held by two slender ropes, the balloon, bearing the Queen, the Colonel and four sol­ diers, rose to a height of about three hundred yards. After enjoying a splen­ did view of 'Madrid, aud its environs Her Majesty gave the signal to lower the balloon, which stopped ten yards from the ground to allow a photograph to be taken, and the Queen landed, wel­ comed by enthusiastic cheers from the soldiers. The balloon has been christ­ ened Mat-ie Christina of Hapsburg. --• Madrid Despatch to London News. One Use for the Telegraph. A Chicago man used the telegraph the other day iu an odd* way. A visi­ tor whom he had met frequently in New York stepped into his office. It was business as well as inclination to be exceedingly cardial to the New Yorker, but for the life of him he could not re­ call his visitor's name. In the midst of the conversation the Chicago man was reminded of a telegram he had forgotten to send. Pulling out a blank he sent the following to his New York house: "WThat's the name of Jenkin's head man? Can't recall it. He is here." They chatted along for half an hour, when the answer came. It read "Simp- kins." "And now, Mr. Simpkins, it is about. about time for lunch," remarked the Chicago man. "We'll go over to the club. I want you to meet some friends of mine there.

Dr. McCresswell is troubled with rats--that is to say, rats infest his drug store. Every now and then he will find a large rat in the trap. The other day an unusually large one "was caught. It was not killled, for the Doctor is too tender-hearted to kill anything. Mr. Rat was chloroformed, and while asleep a tiny silver bell at­ tached to a piece of silk was placed around the rat's neck. After painting I the day and date of capture on the jurat's back restoratives were used, and ! the rodent was soon in a condition to | walk about the cage-trap. The merry ' tingle of the bell produced a queer sensation on the rat. It's a fact, the ! countenance of the rat assumed a livid hue and it became so nervous that its teeth chattered. The rat was freed, and, darting in its hole, disappeared.
