We call the following from the last issue of the Arizona Kicker: "ofb cibculation. "There are newspapers which do more blowing about their circulation than we do, and there may be a few wbo add more subscribers in a single week, but the Kieler gets there just the same. We began on a circulation of two (2) copies, one of which we carried abont in our own pocket, and the other went as a deadhead to the postmaster. We now work 198 copies, which are paid for In advance. This is an increase of 94 per cent, in seven months, and we've got a dollar which Bays no other newspaper in the wouid can equal it. "We don't claim that the Kicker makes kings and emperors tremble on their thrones, or that it has bettered the moral standing of the American masses 1,000 per cent., but we do know that we have made life worth the living for a good many people out this way who were ready to hang themselves when our first num? ber was issued, and that every new sub? scriber who comes has faith that we will make a better man of him." '/oub exc?se. "We have been severely criticised because we refused to attend the funeral of old Pete Shinly, who died on the street one night last week. It is claimed that Old Pete was our creditor in the sum of $12, and that it was shabby in us not to see him planted. ? "In the first place Old Pete owed us $2 borrowed money, instead of our owing him. In the next our Sunday pantaloons needed a patch abont four feet square at . the end opposite the bow, and we did not care to subject ourselves to ridicule for the sake of showing off. We can keep our back behind us in our own office . until better times arrive, and that's what we are trying to do. We have sent to San Francisco for a patch the color of our pantaloons, and when it arrives and is welded oh to the spot Richard will be himself again, aDd ready to rustle at funerals Or address a pnblic meeting on the topics of the day," "must take their chances. "Three times during the last month we have surprised ourseif and the public by mopping the floor with assailants, while on two occasions we have igno miniously took to flight. We state it as a physiological fact that there are times when we had as lief fight a dozen men, and other times when we'd run from a good sized" boy. Parties planning to lickusmust.be prepared to take their chances. We may fight like a lion or ran like a jack rabbit." "the colonel has gone. "Tony society pretended to be all upset last week because Col. De Claire was arrested for a horse thief and . taken to Nebraska to Bland trial. It was only a pretense. We have known ior mouths past that the colonel was a beat and an impostor, and many others have known it. He sent us an order for a new hat as soon he arrived here, and thus put us under obligations not to give him away. The hat grew old and rusty after a time, and as the colonel didn't come in with a cash subscription we felt that we had given him rope enough. We just dropped a hint to the sheriff of Henry County, and a week, later the colonel bad the irons on. ' "We are alone every evening after 6. We can't be bribed, but there are parties in this town who had best come in and subscribe for copies to send to friends. Our terms are ?2 per year?strictly in advance." "not on him. "There are no flies on J. M.P. Bray ;ton, Esq., who owns that beautiful ranch commonly known as' Jackass Dell. -He .entered our office the other day and left a peck of potatoes of his raising. His wife . is one of the handsomest women in the west, his daughter the finest singer and .musician, and the gentleman himself ought to be president of the United States. It is to such go ahead, enter? prising men as Dr. Brayton that Arizona is indebted for her prosperity. We call attention to the two column ad., which we have inserted free, of the fact that Jackass Dell is for sale at $10 an' acre. It's worth five times that.' "Itis not for ns"to suggest that other farmers bring us in potatoes, butter, carrots or apples. Such as do will find us ready and willing to give them from one-half a column to three columns of notice in return, and in our most cheer? ful vein." The Awful Court. The late Captain James M. Armstrong, of Texas, as honest and patriotic a man as ever lived in any age or country, emigra? ted from Kentucky to Texas immediately after the Republic had been organized. Soon after his arrival at Nacogdoches, he found out that the refugees from "the States," who were then quite numerous, wore in the habit of holding, from time to time, what they called "The Awful Court.": Every new comer was arrested, and brought before the "court," which Bat with an imposing array of officers and spectators in a secluded room, was ar? raigned and asked: "What made you come to Texas ?" If in his reply he did not admit that he came as a refugee, the judge would order him to be whipped until he confessed, and when he had con? fessed he was sentenced to treat the crowd. No newcomer was permitted to claim that he was innocent, or came of his own free will. If the person arrested however answered promptly, stating some crime that he had committed before leaving the States, he was discharged without costs. "The Awful Court" was generally pre? sided over by a gentleman wbo was known to have robbed a gold-mining company, which was the immediate cause of his leaving Georgia. One day in conversa? tion he observed to young Armstrong, "Young man, we will" shortly have you up befare our Awful Court." Armstrong, with an air of surprise and diffidence, said he hoped not, and passed on. On the night of that very day he was arrested,. and led through devious ways to .where The Awful Court was sitting. Although late, the dimly lighted court? room was thronged. In a few momentB the presiding judge ordered him to stand up, and asked him the following question: "Young man, what'made yon come to Texas?" Armstrong replied, hesitatingly, with an air of embarrassment, "It was such a mean little thing that I don't want to tell about it." The question was calmly put a second time, and received the same answer. Thereupon the judge sternly remarked, "I now ask you for the third and last time, what made you come to TexaB ?" Armstrong responded, with apparent confusion: "If I must tell, IT?ust. I stole a sheep." "Stole a sheep 1" exclaimed the presid? ing judge, in real astonishment. "Stole a sheep 1 Men did you ever hear the like ? Young man what made you steal a sheep ?" Armstrong dryly replied, "Because they who came to Texas ahead of me left nothing else in the criminal line to do." "The prisoner's discharged, and the court adjourned," said the judge. "Men, it's my treat,', ? There are in North America about 300,000 persons keeping bees. The annual honey product is about 700,000, 000 pounds, and its value nearly $15,000, 000.

"Uncle" John Robinson, the veteran showman, died recently in Cincinnati, over eighty years of age. He had been in the circus business ever since he ran away from his home it TJtica, N. Y., when a boy, to follow a show. He was a brave, impetuous man, and a bad one to tackle in his days. The following is his relation of the way he once discip? lined the giant of his circus, as he .told it some years ago to a writer in Teasas Sifiings t ? "He was the most shiftless giant I ever knew," said Uncle John, in taking about the "FolonaiBien Hercules," as the giant was called, "He didn't seem to take no interest in his business. A giant, to be useful to a show, must be sociable-like with folks that come to see him. He shake hands, and pat children on the head; tell how' tall he is, how much he weighs, how much tobacker he chews, whether he was ever in love, and all that. But he wouldn't. He wouldn't talk to nobody, and the more the people crowded round to look at him the crosser he got. He was a giant without a particle of love for his fellow-man." "Held himself above them, perhaps." "Well, yeB, three or four feet above ^m I should say. He was a walking monu? ment, and what a feeder he was! He got lazy toward the close of the season, and wouldn't come down to the canvass until he got good an' ready. This caused dis? satisfaction, and some folks said they did't believe we hfcd any giant, ahyway.' "No wonder you were put o?t." "Anybody would be put out. I felt like giving him a good licking lots of times, but somehow a man hesitates about tacklin' a feller nine or ten feet tall. But it had to come." "In what way ?" "I'll tell you. My giant took to hard drinking finally, and slept away the after? noon instead of exhibiting himself at the show. One day I wasn't feeling very good-natured, and coming down to the canvas in the afternoon I didn't see any? thing of Hercules. " 'Here, you Rube,' I sez to the boss canvassman, 'where is that blank giant ?' " 'Drunk and asleep up to the tavern,' sez he. . " 'Well, I'll uleep him,' sez I, Wank his eyes 1' and picking up a hard wood board stave I started for the tavern on a run. Yon see I was mad, for I was card? ing him heavy' and paying fifty dollars a week and found." "Drank ?" wo suggested. "That's it," said Uncle John, with a grin?"found drunk more'n half the time. I was so mad that I forgot he was a giant; I was only thinking of a man's drawing a big salary from a show and not showing. I rushed up'to his room, and there he lay. fast asleep and snoring like a fog? horn." "How tall was this giant, Uncle John ?" "Nigh ten feet; but I was so mad I did not think about his size. As he 'ay on the bed, face down I brought that bar? rel stave down on the broad portion of his corporosity and yelled, 'You misera? ble, drunken, lazy, good-for-nothing blank giant you, get up here, or I'll pound your blank, ead off I' - "He jumped up quicker'n any giant you ever saw. '"Now make tracks for tbe canvas/ sez I, as I gave him another ringing slap that con Id have been heard four blocks away. "With a bowl, he ran down stairs and into tbe street, I close after him, fetching him a lick at ever jump he made." "'Get drunk, will you" said I, 'and shirk your work 1' and then I would lar? rup him again. Lord! you ought to've heard the people cheer when I brought my giant in tbe tent?rounded him up as it were "Was he subdued ?" "Subdued ? Well, I should say he waB subdued. We were just in time for the great spectacular piece entitled 'Samson captured by the Philistines,' in which be appeared as Samson, and be took his place meek as Moses. Before that he had made a good deal of trouble in the piece,- and once he nearly killed the whole Philistine army before he would surrender. . We had to enlist a new army almost every night. But after that we had no further trouble. I tell you, my boy, you can't do nothin' with a giant until you have whaled him at least once." Intellect in Brutes. Mr. A. Petrie writes: "In my own family we have a tabby cat, who, when turned out, would let herself in at anoth? er door by climbing np some list nailed around it, then pushing up the click-latch pushing the door, with hersefl hanging on it, away from the post, so as to prevent the latch falling into its place, and then dropping down and.walking back, to tbe I knew a Skye terrier, who, being told to carry a fishing rod carefully experi? mented along its length to find its centre of gravity, then carried it on till his mas? ter came to a narrow path through a wood. Here Skye considered, dropped the rod, took it by the end, and dragged it under him lengthwise till the opened road was gained, when he took the rod by'the centre of gravity again, and went on. This could not be a copy of human actions, bnt the result of original reason? ing." .. Mr. Henry Cecil gives the following on the authority of the late Mr. Dawes, the astromomer: "Being busy in bis gardeu, and having a large bunch of Keys in his hand, be gave it to a large dog to bold for him till he was at liberty. Going into the house soon after, he forgot to reclaim the keys. The remembrance of what he had done with them only returned to him when be required to' use. them in tbe evening. He then recalled that he had given them to the dog, and forgotten to take them again. Calling him, and looking him impressively in his face, he said 'My keys I fetch me my keys I' The dog looked pnzzled and wistful for a mo? ment, and then bounded off to the garden, his master following. He went straight to the root of an 'apple tiree, scratched up the keys, and brought them. May we not fairly put into words the dog's train of reasoning thus: 'My master has given me these keys to hold; he has forgotten them ; I can not carry them all day ; but I must put them.in safety where I can find them again?"'. Mr. R. Howson sends us the story of a terrier-like dog of no particular breed, named Uglymug, who had a poodle for a companion. When Uglymug saw signs of a family meal being laid out he would inveigle tbe poodle it: to a labyrinthine shrubbery under the pretense of looking for rats, and when the latter was fairly intent on his game, Uglymug sneaked back to enjoy, all by himself, what he could get from tbe table. ? Times change. Forty years ago there were only sixteen millionaires in Boston, and there was not a single lawyer among them.; Now Boston has a perfect mob of millionaires, and several of them are lawyers. Forty years ago the lawyer who could make $50,000 in a year was regarded as some thing phenomenal. Webster, thegreatest advocate of his time, never made himself a rich man. Now a lawyer sometimes make ?100,000 in a single csse. ? Pickens County comes to tbe front with a sensation. A venerable white citizen went up to the polls on election day and voted for Harrison. When asked why he voted the Republican tick? et he replied that forty-eight years ago he cast his first vote for Harrison to oust a Democrat from the White House, and that be voted for the grandson of the man for whom he cast his first ballot, and that for tbe same purpose, viz: To oust a Democrat.

Attention has been called from time to time to the advisability of lessening as much as possible tbe shock and strain which horses usually sustain in setting heavy loads in motion. There have been a number of methods suggested for obviating this, but there has been no general introduction of any of the sys? tems proposed. The wear and tear on horses on o?r Btreet car lines and heavy transport trucks is very great, and in all large stables of this class there are to be found a number of horses on the retired list, who are suffering from sore necks and strains^ occasioned by tbe sudden shocks and jerks of startiug a heavy load. One of the simplest of contrivances we saw at the recent New Jersey State fair, used in plowing. It consisted of a spring at tbe point where tbe traces join the whiffletree. At the Eastern Railway station, at Paris, the horses used for shifting the cars from point to point have been provided with chain traces termi? nating in spiral springs. Since this sys? tem was introduced, about six years ago, there bas been a marked improvement in tbe condition of the horses, and there baa been much saving in the breaking of Chains and harness. The horses have learned that a eteady, even strain serves better than the quondam jerk at starting, and there has been found to be fewer sore necks, and tbe animals experience lesa fatigue, abd are generally in sounder condition. The experiment has proved so far successful that this method has been extended through all the other de? partments of the extensive railway sys? tem under the control of this company. Lived and Vied In Squalor. Sioux Falls, Dakota, Oct 28.?Mary Ann Irvine, one of the most noted char? acters of this section, died Friday night of heart trouble. During her residence of thirty years in this vicinity she has lived in the utmost filth and squalor. She was vindictive to an extraordinary degree, and has figured prominently at nearly every term of Court aB defendant in various charges, such as applying the torch to the property of neighbors who bad aroused her passions, treatening tbeir lives, &c. A loaded revolver was her constant companion. No one ever dark? ened her door and it was only a very short time before she. died that even her own children dared to enter her house. When it was discovered that she was dying and she was asked if a physician should not be sent for, she objected to incurring so great an expense, and not until she had struck a bargain with the doctor for bis fee would she allow any medicines to be administered. Her sleeping room was found so full of all manner of filthy garbage and worthless rubbish that much of it had to be dumped out of doors before the attendants could find room to get in or endure the stench. After her death a search among her effects revealed deeds, mortgages, notes, bonds and cash to the amount, in the aggregate, of f35,000. The woman was 63 years old and had three children, to whom the property will revert. A Man Who has practiced medicine fur forty years, ought to know salt from sugar; read what he says: - Toledo, 0., Jan. 40,1887. Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co.?Gentle? men :?I have been iu the general prac? tice of medicine for most forty years, and would say that in all my practice and experience, I have never seen a prepara? tion that I could prescribe with as much confidence of success as I can Hall's Ca? tarrh Cure manufactured by you. Have prescribed it a great many times and its effect is wonderful, and would say in conclusion that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it would not euro, if they would take it according to directions.

CHENEY & CO , Props , Tole? do, O. BQLSuM by Druggists, 75c. Don't be a Fool. As a tree begins to die at the extremi? ties, so does a man contract disease and death by the exposure of bia bands and feet. A simpleton will pay forty dollars for a coat to cover his back, and will begrudge himself an extra pair of shoes to put on his feet in wet weather. The man who has but one pair of shoes, while boasting the possession of two coats, hasn't learned the A. B, C, in the busi? ness of preserving bis health and his life. To.put on a wet pair of shoes is like putting a poultice to the feet, and he who does bo foolish a thing gives a standing invitation to disease and death ?and the invitation, sooner or later, will be sure to be accepted. It has been said that cold feet have put more men in their graves than all the wars that were ever fought, and yet otherwise sensible men and women go about from day to day with wet and cold feet. They put on their shoes in the morning with a shudder. Cold feet bring on the worst forms of disease, and he who does not keep several pairs of shoes is not wise. After the first outlay, the cost is no more to keep half dozen pairs, than is incurred by keeping of a single pair, and he who is able to wear one pair, should always have a dry pair in reserve. Piles ! Plies! Itching Piles. Symptons?Moisture; intense itching and stinging; most all night; worse by scratching. If allowed to continue tumors form, which often bleed and ulcerate, be? coming very sore. Swayne's Ointment stops the itching and bleeding,, heals ul ceration, and in most cases removes the tumors. At druggists, or by mail, for cb cents. Dr. Swayne & Son, Philadelphia. ? No better illustration of the wonder? ful wealth of the United States is furnish? ed than tbe figures which David T. Day, of the division of mining statistics of tbe United States geological survey, gives regarding the immense mineral output of the country for the past year. They show that tbe total value of all minerals raised that year-amounted to$538,000,000. This is S70,000,000 more than the output during the previous year, and more than $100,000,000 greater than that, of 1885. The last year's output is not only the greatest ever raised in tbe United States, but is at least $100,000, 000 greater than the output of any other country, and leaving out England is greater than that of all Europe put to? gether. "Did n't Know't was Loaded" May do for a stupid boy's excuse ; but what can bo said for the parent who sees his child languishing daily and fails to reeognize the want of a tonic and blood-purifier? Formerly, a course of bitters, or sulphur ami molasses, was the rule in well-regulated families ; but now all intelligent households keer) Ayer's Sarsaparllla, which is at once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered. Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton st., Boston, writes: " My daughter, now 21 years old, was in perfect health until a year ago when she began to complain of fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness, indigestion, and loss of appetite. I con? cluded that all her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time reestab? lished her former health. I find Ayer'a Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for the lassitude and debility incident to spring time." J. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co., Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "As a Spring Medicine, I find a splendid substitute for the old-time compounds in Ayer's Sarsaparilla, with a few doses of Ayer's Pills. After their use, I feel fresher and stronger to go through the summer." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer &. Co., Lowell, Mass. Price $1; six bottles. &>. Worth $5 a bottle. Keep Up Tonr End. "When I was a boy in the lumbering region in Maine," said the old doctor, ''the fellow who would not hold up his end of the log, but let the weight ssg on the others, was looked upon with contempt by all the camp. Wherever I go now, I think I see logs carried; one end held up by hearty, willing bands, and the other droping out of lazy, selfish ones. "When I see an old father toiling to give bis son the education that is to help him through life, and the boy yawning over his books, tricking his teachers, smoking ciguretteR and ?wearing, I feel like calling out, 'For the sake of your own soul, boy, grip the end of the log, and hold it up 1' "Sometimes I see a man working hard all day, and too tired to rest at night, while his wife aud daughters read novels, embroider, and gossip with women as useless in the world as themselves. Do they keep up their eud of the log? "Or, quite as often, it is the wife who stints and saves, until her life is barren and bare as a dusty road at noonday, while the husband spends his time at saloons and pool rooms. "Or I see one bright, courageous mem? ber of a family, usually a woman, work? ing, joking, hopeful, while the others crawl along, groaning, complaining, drop? ping every day and hour their burden of poverty, disease, toothache, or bad weath? er on her shoulders. She has all the log to carry. "Again, it is a human being for whom God has done much in birth, rank, education, friends, who for the love of a glass of liquor or a pack of cards, allows his life to drop into the slough. St. Paul bids him 'work' out his own salva? tion, and I feel like telling him to hold up his own end of the log." What does our reader think'of the doc? tor's homely le3son ? What is his burden in life ? Somebody shares it with him; no man bears his load alone. Does he carry his part with a hearty good-will? Or doe3 he drop it on weak and willing shoulders? ? Happiness is like mauna. It is to be gathered in the grains and enjoyed every day ; it will not keep, it can not be accumulated; nor need we go out our? selves, nor into remote placeB, to gather it, since it has rained down from heaven, at our very doors, or rather within them.

B. against the world. We present be? low a remarkable showing from an obscure section, not traversed by railroads, which carries Its own conviction. It Is the same way wherever B. B. B. has been introduced and given a trial with other remedies: .1 REMARKABLE SHOWING FOR B. B. B. AGAINST OTHER REMEDIES. Putnam Co., April 20, 1888. I have been suffering for more than thirty years with an Itching and burning all over my face and body. I took eighteen bottles of one blood medi? cine and it did me no good. I commenced last January to use B. B. B., and after using five bot? tles I felt better and stouter than I have in thirty years, my health is better and I weigh more than I ever did. The itching bos nearly ceased, and I am confident that a few more bottles of B. B. B. will cure me entirely. I am sixty-two years old and can now do a good day's work in my field. I consider it the best medicine I have ever seen, for it certainly did me more good than all the medi? cine I have ever taken. I had, in all. nearly a hundred risings on my lace, neck and body. James Pikkekton. TWO BOTTLES CURE RHEUMATISM. Boughton, Abk. June 4, 1887. I cheerfully state the following facts in regard to the use of vour medicine in my family. My little Bon, 14 years of age, suffered from an acute attack of rheumatism, caused by undue exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard your remedy highly recommended, and purchased one bottlo of Moncrici' &. Bro., Frescott, Ark. In about one month, after using this bottle he became so much better that I got tho second bottle which is now being used, and my son is nearly well, and I think by removing him to a cooler summer climate (which I will do) and continuing its use, a per? fect cure will be effected. I consider B. B. B. a most excellent blood purifier. Ciias. H. Titus, It. It. Agt., Boughton, Ark. A BOOK OF WONDERS, FREE.
