The Clifton Clarion, 1885-07-01

. A watchmaker in Milwaukee has trained a common canary bird to sing faultlessly, "We Won't Go Home Till Morninpr." People must have something to worry about, and a scientist realiz realizing - ing realizing this has put forth a declaration that the earth is liable to explode at any moment. Prescott people, having grown tired of quarreling over the pro jected site of their proposed rail road, are now engaged finding names for the locomotives to be run on the road. Mrs. Dr. Lord, who once lived in affluence in Tucson, has just made a visit to the lonely cattle ranch of her son in the mountains west of the city.

Roast pork and onions, it is said, are in'domand, and they have bought about a corner in the market, literally speaking, on the above mentioned articles. The President and Miss Cleve Cleveland - land Cleveland are perfectly satisfied with the White House, and feel as if they would as soon pass the heated term there as anywhere else. This is very old-fashionod indeed. The popular idea is that any place you happen to own or occupy is precisely the rrong place to pass the summer in. The Grand Central pumps will be started up about tho first of July. Work on the Contention Hill Mining Company's property will be begun about that time; the Enterprise is to start up, and in fact work will be resumed all along the line, and hundreds of now idle men will be put to work. Record-Epitaph. President Cleveland and his Cabinet do not pretend to be either omniscient or infallible. They do not claim to be minutely familiar with tho record of every Democrat in the United States; hence they have been at times misled and deceived in relation to men who have been nominated for office, but do not hesitate to promptly correct any and every mistake of that sort After awhile the Senator, Representative or politician who endorses the ap application - plication application of an unworthy aspirant for Federal office will find that the latch string of tho White House door no longer hangs out for him.

Sound Tariff Views. From the New York Graphic. Ex-Senator McDonald, of Indi Indiana, - ana, Indiana, has just expressed himself upon the tariff in a statesmanlike way. He declares for a tariff reform which shall secure for our manu manufacturers - facturers manufacturers raw material at a cheaper rate. A tariff ought to be a tax highest on luxuries and lowest on necessaries, Mr. McDonald tersely says. The policy which he be believes - lieves believes the present Administration will endeavor to formulate, he adds, will be to mske the necessa necessaries - ries necessaries of life and raw materials cheap, so as to lessen the cost of living, while providing labor for out workmen. As these are the identical tariff views expressed in almost the identical language em employed - ployed employed again and again by the Graphic, it is needless to add that the distinguished ex-Senator's de -clared policy has the unqualified approval of this journal. Of all Western statesmen McDonald's financial views were the soundest, wisest and most consistent during the whole period of paper money inflation. It is extremely gratify gratifying - ing gratifying to observe that his opinions are equally sound and enlightened upon the important subject of the tariff. Crook. The Silver City Enterprise, of the 12th ult., unearths the follow following - ing following from the proceedings of the City Council of Silver City, New Mexico, of two years ago, which is not complimentary to that body, and doubtless now causes a blush to mantle the cheeks of those who by their votes gave it their sanc sanction: - tion: sanction: "Two years ago this month the council of this city passed a set of eulogistic resolutions upon Gen General - eral General Crook as an Indian fighter, although in that ever-memorable campaign the troops never once engaged the Indians. The reso resolutions - lutions resolutions were handsomely en engrossed - grossed engrossed by Tiffany & Co., of New York, at the expense of the tax taxpayers - payers taxpayers of this, city something like 200, and then were-officially pre presented - sented presented to the General. It would now be in order for the people of Grant county to present the Gen General - eral General with the papoose recently captured by the Duncan citizens, as a memento of his lying and treacherous Indian policy." IVnnted a Long C'isar. From the Boston Transcript. "No," said the gifted young gen gentleman, - tleman, gentleman, "I want none of your short cigars. Give me a good long one, that will last half an hour at the shortest" "Ah, I understand!" quoth the tobacconist, "you intend to take the cars, and you intend, of course, to enter at the . rear of the train and pass through all the cars in a slow and dignified man manner, - ner, manner, shedding the aroma of your imperfectly combusted cigar like a benison around you. You fear that the cigar will not hold out until you have reached the smok ing car. Noble young man, take this. It is of good length, and its fragrance is as enduring as old fashioned hand -made furniture." "Did you write this?" asked the editor. "I flatter myself I did," said the dreamy-eyed reporter. "Come with me!" And in a few minutes the editor returned with gore Irish human gore spots on his cuffe.

Gen. Grant's book of life will very shortly be closed. He is gradually sinking. It will not be a matter of surprise to hear of his death at any moment He has been removed from New York city to Mt McGregor, in the same State. He is much depressed and emaciated, silent but watchful of everything transpiring within his view. His doctors' bulletins have ceased to interest and might as well be discontinued, since hope of prolonging the General's life beyond a brief period has fled. Silver Belt. This year's wheat crop of the United States is estimated at 350,000,000 ' bushels. Of this amount California will this year furnish only about 2C,000,000, or less than one-half last year's crop, the yield" for 1884 being 57,420,188 bushels, and for 1883 32,659,870. The crop m England and else elsewhere - where elsewhere in Europe is also consider considerably - ably considerably short and as the amount of -last year's crop in hand is rapidly diminishing, the indications are that wheat will bring as high a price as in 1881, which will be good news to the residents of the agricultural regions of. Arizona. There are now 12,973 newspa newspapers - pers newspapers published in the United States, a gain of 823 since 1884 Kansas show's the greatest in increase, - crease, increase, her gain being 78, Illinois coming next with 77. One news newspaper - paper newspaper is now printed for ever 3,867 of population. It is quite likely that the increase will be 1 very rapjd for the next few years, owing to the introduction of econ economical - omical economical methods of publication by which papers may be produced vastly improved in points of mat matter - ter matter and typographical appearance as compared with those of a half dozen years ago. Chicago Cur Current. - rent. Current. " A New York special says: "An interview between Chief Justice Wallace and the newly-appointed American Minister to China was very satisfactory to the friends of the Pacific coast here.

The decision-of the Supreme Court sustaining the method of excluding polygamists from ju juries, - ries, juries, presented by the Edmunds' act, has furnished the means for the enforcing of laws which were in other respects amply sufficient for the suppression of this vice. Heretofore grave doubt has pre prevailed - vailed prevailed on this point, and where the benefit of the doubt has been given Mormons, convictions for polygamy have been found im impossible. - possible. impossible. Gentile grand juries are fearlessly indicting eminent Mormons, and petit juries are finding verdicts according to the evidence. Nothing will bring the polygamists sooner to terms than vigorous prosecutions in the courts. By an uninterrupted course of such prosecutions polyg polygamy - amy polygamy can be suppressed. The Mining Review, in a recent Article on Arizona mines, says: "There' are to-day mines within the zones of Arizona that have produced not pounds, but tons of pure silver, and yet the mining world seems not to be agog at such unearthing, but with tho electric light of progress and the writings of a Van Cleve Phillips, the nineteenth century will yet banish the fogs of previous and present ages, and reveal to the recorder of facts in this, the last decade of the nineteenth century, revelations and discoveries as startling, brilliant and substan substantially - tially substantially as useful in the woild, met metallurgical - allurgical metallurgical as ever graced the pages of electrical discoveries, or fol followed - lowed followed in the trail of a steam en engine." - gine." engine." That the silver and gold product will bo greatly increased in our Territory during the next few years, there is little doubt. The world iu. general seems just awakening to the fact that treas treasures - ures treasures untold are to be found in our mountain ranges, and that there are yet wide fields within our bor ders as yet comparatively unex unexplored. - plored. unexplored. The great cry against Arizona has been: "You are scarce of water and timber, especially in those parts where your mineral deposits are found." But where is the land to be found which has not an abundance of ill-features along with the good ones?

Method for a Lons Life. Among the candidates for the last vacancy in the French Acad Academy, - emy, Academy, the famous institute of learned men, was Monsieur Chev Chev-reul, - reul, Chev-reul, who remarked gaily to one of the Ministers: "Sir, you see before you the oldest student in France." This ambitious "student" is only 97 years of age! Being complimented on bis activ activity - ity activity and his fresh appearance, M. Chevreul replied: "Ah! That is a simple matter. I have never gone to excess in living as other mortals do. I have never drunk wine. I believe nature is a good counselor, if we make no compromise with her laws. I work a great deal, but when I am tired I stop and rest. My sleep is sound and as soon as I wake I rise. I do not believe in the necessity of regular meals. I eat when I feel like it I tako a long walk every day, until fatigue compels me to stop. My father taught me thia method of living, whitjh was his own. He found it a good one, although he died younger than me; he was only 91." Hero, then, is another method to those already recorded of the men who have attained longevity. A perfect control over one's ap appetite - petite appetite would be essential if fol following - lowing following out the system of M. Chrevreul. It will be noticed, however, that all the rules agree in one respect that excess in any direction is to be avoided. Tem Temperance - perance Temperance in all things dissipation in none!
