Prospector: A visit to the! old grave graveyard - yard graveyard in which those who died ki the early days of Tombstone were buried, leveals some strange peculiarities. Between 150 and 200 graves are there, a lifgc majority of which are unmarked by any sign that would lead any one to know whether a man, woman or child lay beneath. Amcng those that nre marked is one enclosed by a neat fence of rustic design inside of which a slab is erected on which is inscribed "Sacred to the memory of William Clnn Clnn-ton - ton Clnn-ton who was murdered October 2G, 1881, aged lOyears." This brings one bnck to the early days in Tombstone when the reign of terror existed in Cochise county. Nearly all -of those buried there are be-t-vcen the ngea ot 19 and 35 years, which is suggestive of sudden deaths by accidents or the victims of the ready revolver which in those days was a man's bible, It will be remembered that tho counties adjacent to the San Carlos reservation were greatly exercised because of the Uni United - ted United Stotes supremo court decided that trials of Indians devolved upon counties in whiih crimes were committed, and it was inferred that'sts wojli"' 'ecessarsly be taxed upon the counties where such trials were had, but now we nre rejoiced to know from District Attorney McCubo that the costs, notwithstanding the territories nre given jurisdiction, are paid by the United States. He referred us to section 11 of the net of Congress, March 21, 18S9, which provides that the costs of the trials should be audited and paid in like manner ns criminal cases in the courts of the Unit United - ed United States. Silver Belt. Florence Enterprise: Judging from the newspaper comments pon the session laws of New Mexico, just out of press, it is inferred that they comprise a sort of le legal - gal legal ritual that is totally unintelligible to all but the initiated and there is no one ca capable - pable capable of iuterpreting it. A key to the puzzle is greatly needed until Webster's unabridged can provide a special glossary to meet the emergency.

Fiom the "History if Kansas" by J. N. Ilolloway the information is learned that, according to the record kept by Messrs.

Senator Tngalls, of Kansna, is well well-known - known well-known for his powers of combat in a war of words, so when he writes he writes sense, even though it be sentimental. Tho following from his pen is not only characteristic of the man, but will com com-.mend - .mend com-.mend ilself for the bounty of its senti ment: "Next in importance to the divine pro profusion - fusion profusion of water, light and air, those three physical facts which render exislence pos possible, - sible, possible, may be reckoned the universal ben beneficence - eficence beneficence of grass. Living in the sunshine among buttercups and dandelions of May, scarcely higher in intelligence that min minute - ute minute tenants of that mimic wilderness, our earliest recollections are of grass; nnd when the fitful fever is ended, nnd the fool foolish - ish foolish wrangle of the market and foriiiu is closed, grass heals over the scar which our decent into the bosom of the earth made, and the carpet of the infant becomes tho blanket of tho dead. "Grass is the forgiveness of nature her constant benediction. Fields trampeled with battle, saturated with blood, torn with the ruts of cannon, grow green again with grnss, and CArnage is forgotten. Streets abandoned by trnflic become grass grass-grown - grown grass-grown like rural lanes and ara obliterated. Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but grass is immortal; beleaguered by sullen hosts of winter, it withdraws into the impregnable fortress ot its sub subterranean - terranean subterranean vitality, and emerg-s upon the tirst solicitation of spring. Sown by the winds, by wandering birds, propagated by the subile horticulture of the elements which are its ministers ami servants, it softens the rude outline of tho world. "it invades the solitudes of deserts, climbs the inaccessible slope and forbid ding piunaclcs of mountains, modifies climates, nnd determines the history, char character, - acter, character, and destiny of nations.

It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the senses with fragrance or splendor, but its homely hue is more enchanting than tho lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air, yet should its harvest fail for a single year famine would depopulate the world." Swift's Specific cured me of ugly and very painful boils or raising.

Undnr tliis ypry RiiRprestive ht oditijr, a writer in thw Pull Mall Gazette Rivp.i us a very rta phic dcsoiipton of the nurphia liabit, whii:h is appenrentiy growing among the community nt an ahirming rate, and cmisitut devastation to body and oiil in a deitreo r: h can only bceítiimit bceítiimit-ed - ed bceítiimit-ed and realiz.'d by those who have the misfortune to witness its PÍFecU upon the unforturiHte creatures addicted to its use. lancino (nnys the writer) an instru instrument - ment instrument about the Kze of u pencil cune, con con-t; - t; con-t; rcted srmewhat nfter the model of a wasp's stnifr, and fitting into a tiny cane which will go with ease m the muir, the waistcoat pocket, or the bosom of the dress. The instrument itself may be of old, and the case may be fashioned like a jewelry scent bottle or oilier trinket, and hang suspended from a jfotdi.n chatelaine with the most i.inocnous air. This is the inj dor, and a slight punctuation of the skin with the waspish point is sufficient to enable the required quantity of the magic liquid to be discharged into the system. Nor is the term magic an .rxiitrgoiation, for not more magical was the oflect pro producid - ducid producid by the pills which tln travelers swallowed in the cave of Monte Cristo than that which results from the injection of morphia. It must be, however, observ observed - ed observed here thut there are three distinct stages iA luoi pbia ubiorfition, all of them brief in duration, the last one briefest of nil. During the first stage the results are purely pleasurable, they bring a draught of fittb life into jaded limbs. The facul faculties - ties faculties receive a sudden stimulus, the callous sense of pleasure is sensitive once more, ibe vision ot the world cast on the mental eye is drawn iu rosy lines, the whole ap ap-preeaition - preeaition ap-preeaition of things earthly is that of one who is prepared to drain the cup of life to ihe bottom and enjoy it to the full. The subject lives iu a glamorous sense of vague happiness, her hall-closed eves reveal the tute of exquisite lassitude which laps htr limbs, sdie let Is that her enemy is exertion, she ib too hiipjiy to trouble about any anything, - thing, anything, 11 that she aks is that her friends should be hapfjy around her even as she is happy. Her hold on eternity loosen a9 her desire for it decreases. "Why take thought for the morrow?" would run her new reading of the text, "Sufiicietit for the dii y is the happiness thereof." In tiuie, however, a change, comes o'er the spirit of this rose-colored dream. Its continuity become hrckm by dreadful in intervals - tervals intervals of reaction, during which tho vic victim - tim victim is oppressed by ull the horrors of in intense - tense intense melancholy and weakness, and fiom which relief can ouly be obtained by con con-linual - linual con-linual repetition of the process of injection. The baneful habit acquires a fn mer hold by counter-irritations. It is bo easy to drive away the blue devils that are mak making - ing making themselves apparent, to check the re reaction - action reaction which has begun to set in, to eha.-ig'? the dark shadows which are cloud clouding - ing clouding over the vision of life into the rain rainbow - bow rainbow hues of the morning, to transform tho victim of melancholy, tho prospective suicide into the laughiug child of pleasure whoso creed is that of the half-pagan Leo X., '"Let us enjoy what God has given us." So easj but only by constant use of the fatal drug; and us the forinor slight in

ot the stimulant must be launched into the system before the desired tfl'ect can be produced. The result, however, of the increase of the quantity injected is to develop the fuel fueling - ing fueling of lassitude until in time such a brief period! it completely overpowers the senses, and tho victim becomes practically lost to the world. She lives in a rose-colored world of her own, in which happiness regins supremo and which Blie would not leave if she could; for her re-entry into the life Bho has forsaken can only be accom accomplished - plished accomplished by passing through a period of in intense - tense intense -nentul and bodily torturo. She knows that she is slowly dying, that she is slipping to extinction in a soilless, mechan mechanical - ical mechanical way, like a clock which inevitably runs down when its motive power is ex exhausted - hausted exhausted but her appreciation of abstract ideas has become blurred; life has lost its meaning, death its terrors. Better it is, .-he thinks, so far as she :ompares her con condition - dition condition at all, to fade slowly and happily out of lif? without a thought or a care to checker the hist brief period of existence than to face the struggle by which alone she could be Saved. Indued, it b doubtful whether, even if she could be kei t by force from the use of the stimulant, she would not feel its loss so acutely that she would die in horrible agonies .t'tuost as quickly. Hy a curious perversion, therefore, of the original object, it has been reserved for modern science to bring into existence and use tho dream of the ancient poets the drug which conferred happiness un un-checkered - checkered un-checkered and unalloyed. Were it possi possible, - ble, possible, however, to analyze the mental condi condition - tion condition of the victim during the hours of re reaction, - action, reaction, it might be possible to .ralize also the tortnres of the damned in the mediae mediaeval - val mediaeval hell. The Nogales Record asserts that, under the Mexican laws, a criminal sentenced to a term of imprisonment may serve by "proxy" that is hire a substitute to serve out the term of imprisonment.
