We select the following items from the last issue of the Arizona Kicker, says the Detroit Free Neu. STOP IT. There's too much poetry iu this. West- ern country — ten timet+ too much. Every week fifty or more men and wo- men in this locality, who ought to be en- gaged hoeing pota- toes or ranking rag :•r - j,l ,. carpet, worry the life out of the best part of seven days to "dash off" n poem for the Kicker. Not one out of live hun- dred is true poetry, and not more than one out of a bushel is worth publishing. There should be a law apply int to the country west of Omaha—a law to nal rte it a penal offense to send a poem to a newspaper unsolicited. We are satisfied that this rh31,me-jingilug has retarded the growth of the West twenty years, and it will continuo to work against us until there is a law to stop it. In view of the present agitation over prohibition in several .States, the following law .passed iu Massa- chusetts just .100 years ago is ofl timely interest. The copy is certi- Bed by the •Secrelary of State : Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven buudre'd and eighty nine. An act to encourage tate Manufac- ture and consumption of strong beer, ale, and other malt liquors. WHEREAS, The Manufacture of strong beer, ale, and other malt liquors will .promote the .purposes of husbandry and commerce by en- couraging the growth of such mater- ials as are peculiarly congenial to our soil and .climate and by pro- ducing a valuable article of expos Cation. And, whereas., the whole- some qualities of malt Liquors greatly recommend therm to general use as an important means of pre- serving the health of the citizens of this Commonwealth and of pre- venting the pernicious effects of spirituous liquors. Do it therefore 'enacted, by the Senate and House .of 3i,epiesenta- tires in general ,court assembled, and by the authority of the same, that all brow -houses wherein shall be Made and produced for sale au- nually a quantity of strong beer or ale not less than 100 barrels of 31 and ono -half gallons each, boor measure, with the utensils employed in such with and the imtne- diate dependencies thereof, also all monies and stock of every kind ern ployed and improved in such brow - houses, with the strong beer, ale, and other -malt liquors which shall be there made and produced for sale as aforesaid, with the faculty or annual profit of such manufac- ture, shall be and they hereby are exempted from all taxes and duties of every kind for the term of five years next after the passing of this act. And it is further enacted, That all brewers or others who shall be owners or occupiers of such brew - houses, shall as soon as may be after the passing of this net, and .afterward at least once In every year, produce to the several assess- ors of the towns and districts where- in such brew -houses shall be situate, satisfactory evidence of the quanti- ties of beer or ale made in their • said houses, respectfully, for one year then next preceding, in order that they may have the benefit of the exception aforesaid.

Our contemporary down the street is tickled almost to death because Major Bilden has .been appointed postmaster of this town, and because, as it af- ,(///u;;i. firms. the editor of • the Bicker got left. We can't see any- thing to laugh at. - We were the best man by long odds among the twenty applicants, and if Wanamaker could not see it the fault is not ours. We ex- pected to get the appointment and ought to have had it. The man who did get it doesn't know enough to run a peanut stand, and if the Kicker doesn't make his life miserable for the next year then we don't want a cent. As for our old knock-kneed, bald-headed, squint-eyed contemporary who wears a grin on ,his phiz, we will see him later. We are fishing to get hold of the chattel mort- gage given on his office three months ago, and if we succeed he will hear . something drop. ONE MOJ(E CHANCE: - Billy Dobson, proprietor of the Blue Front saloon and gambling -house, was the first . sub- scriber to the Kick- ,er. He encouraged us and occasionally lent us money, and our gratitude has prevented us from drawing public at- tention to 'his den of iniquity. We can't promise t0 hold off tu.0 c h longer. We shall give him one more chance to reform the place, and if be doesn't improve it we shall give him three or four columns per week of the hottest kind of lan- gauge. Gratitude is all right up to a certain limit. Beyond that an editor owes a duty to the public. 1 PLEASE EXCUSE. Our proofreader was off on a drunk last week and our two printers were called to Tomb- et?ine to see their mother die. We were very busy in our grocery, har- ness -shop, hard- ware and millinery store, and the Kicker did not pre- sent the appear- ance and interest .��h''�'• we could have wished for. We bad to chuck in six columns of old pat- ent medicine adds, and the first page was the same matter as the week pre- vious, but these things are trifles inci- dental to the business of a groat pub- lishing house. We trust that our sub- scribers will overlook all mistakes and encourage its to greater efforts by promptly renewing their subscriptions. Cure for Homesickness. The Wave of Death. Mr. Gropber B.

W ifty thousand dol- lars for forty-five' pearls 1" "Yes, it's a tidy little sum, isn't it?' said it man with a New York accent, who stood behind the counter of a large State street jewelry shop. - "We don't expect to sell that necklace in Chicago. It's only here for display." "Why, isn't there as good a chance of disposing of it here as in New York?" "No; there isn't. 'Western people don't run to $50,000 necklaces. They don't appear to mind $5,000 at all. We make quite a numlrer of $5000 and $10,- 000 sales, but larger sums than that your wealthy men never seem to invest in stones." "Chicago is a great market for novel- ties. Every one wants something new, and the more quaint and novel the de- sign the more sure we feel of selling it here. Those carved moonstones, for in-_ _ _ stance, went off like hot cakes. I don't believe we have one of the than -in -the- moon brooches left. They are really pretty things, as well as new, a face carved in moonstone, set in a crescent of diamonds. It's a very good way of showing off a flue moonstone. They cost from $100 to $300, according to the quality of the stones. Moonstone cameos are in great favor now, set usually with small dia- monds, but some- times with tiny ru- bies or sapphires. There are all sorts of carved moonstone trinkets, diamond harps, with moon- stone mermaids for standards, and harlequin heads MAN—IN—TRE-MOON with diamond and BROOCH. ruby ruffs and caps or three -corner- ed hats. Last week we had a moonstone columbine bursting through a hoop of white enamel, set round with emeralds and diamonds, the whole thing not more than -an inch in diameter.

We have an order for one now to bo made of red gold, with the eggshell in white enamel, and a quotation from Euripedes traced on the shell: 'The sor- row of yesterday is as nothing; that of to -day bearable; but that of to -morrow le gigantic because indistinct.' Quite ap- propriate, isn't it? "There's a perfect rage now for hav- ing inscriptions on jewelry. We hardly send out an article that hasn't something engraved on it, if it's only a date. En- gagement rings always have the date, and usually a motto as well. A funny thing happened hero the other day. A pretty brunette and a good-looking young fellow came in together, and she pulled off her left-hand glove and hand- ed him a magnificent diamond ring, which he passed to me, saying he want- ed a date inscribed inside It. I asked him what date he wished for, and he turned to her and suggested March 17, 1889. "'Oh, no,' said she, 'you know I didn't really accept you till April 4.' '"Well, I gave you the ring on March 17.' '"Well, I didn't promise to keep it.' '"You meant to.' "'I did not; and �ic what's more,I don't • ,�-, care if l; never seg 1t again.' t1� "'Or me either, I �,;-, •.� suppose.' Or you either.'

A combination temper of that variety would be tolerably certain to wind up in a divorce court. "What kind of mottos are eneraved In engagement rings? Well, usually an- cient ones, sometimes to old Englleb let- ters. You seg the fashion of having mottoes, or 'posies' as they were called, in ringa is very old. It was quite com- mon In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries both for betrothed and wed- ding rings, as is just now being revived. An English firm of jewelers has publish- ed a little pamphlet on the subject giv- Ing examples of 'posies' found in rings which have belonged to celebrated peo- ple, some of them in English, others in Latin, French and German. One, in the ring with which Bishop Bull wedded his wlfe,runa: 'Bette parere parere parnre det alibi Deus'*e.'UOl1 make me a good mother and an Obedient housewife.' 1 don't Imagine there will be mtlny orders given for that motto nowadays. "Theposies were either double or single, the double ones being usually serious, and the single, lighter in tone. A favorite is the seventeenth century was: "'God our love con - tissue ever. Tbnt we In heaven may dwell together.' "Aud another: "'Let hint never take a wife. Who will not love her as his wife.' "A sixteenth cen- tury gentleman felt confldetice in his fu- ENGAGEMENT ICING. ture happiness when he had inscribed in his wife's wedding ring: "1 did, then, oommit no folly, When I married my sweet Drolly,' "Aud another justified his matrimo- nial plunge by: "'Tis tit mon agouti not be atone, whloh made Tom to marry Jams.' "Singlelut�oaies are more popularularn ow as not many modern rings are large enough to admit of two lines. Some of the old single posies which are being used are: '"Ood above send peace and ;lova.' 'God and thee my comfort. be.' "'Love me little. bit love me long.' 1 bid adieu to all but you.' - "'rhIs and my heart.' "*Love me and leave me not.' "Sometimes we have,sn order to en- grave a few words froBrowning. The last line of 'Love Among the Ruins' seems to be a favorite, auti also several quotations from Mrs. Browning's 'Son- nets from the Portuguese.' Occasionally sofas one comes in and orders an inscrip- tion in which there seems no earthly souse, but it's intelligible enough, I sup- pose, to the particular fiancee for whom it is intended. "Solitaire rings are not fashionable any more for engagements. Half hoop are considered the proper thing now, either one row of stones, or two, like one, with diamonds and rubies. Burned topaz is coming in once more. It was very much worn about forty years ago, and people who havejewelry of that date will find it useful. The prettiest bracelet we have in the place has two rows,of burned topaz, each stone in- close in a ring of small diamonds."- Chicago News. e.tt "Fa raftixt *•s.r_`s ,a..uravrca411 :. ..771istir:4100041141440.4444141101OUSIISISSIMISMOrn-1411- flat MIM% Avaaoa ne Was a Seer. "There's goin' to be some trouble around before long," said the shabby man as he stopped in front of the other man, forcing him to pause in his pro- gress. "It's a-goin' to he very scrus, too," he continued, in a tope of grave import, without waiting for the other to speak. "How do I know? Because I have a presentiment.

It's especially wearin' when a feller ata t had nothin' much to eat or drink for a day or two—particular drink.

"Strlaging" a Granger. In Illinois, as in many other states, there is a law which provides that a railroad company cannot be made to pay more than $5,000 for killing a person, though there is no Built to the amount for which a company may be sued for mer:ly maiming n person. One day Senator Henry 1I. Evans, who likes a joke bettor than a meal, was telling one of his rural constituents about this law as they were riding together from Aurora to Chicago. "Waal," said the granger finally, "it's a durn sight cheaper, then, fur them to kill a man than to cut off his arm or his log 'Of course it is," said the senator. and then lowering his voice to n whisper he said in the granger's ear: "You tee that nx up there?"

Probably this is the queerest love. letter on record, and the most re- markable offer of marriage ever made. It is a love letter without a word of love and a proposal of mar- riage that does not propose. Every line of it breathes admiration, affec- tinn, devotion, uuselfish desire for the lady's happiness, the writer's sense of unworthiness and his genuine adoration of the lady he tuns addressing, but it does not Mention love. MAKE YOUR OWN CANDY, The Idea In Art. Speaking of the "Idea in Alt," J. S. Blaokie-says : "The value of the Platonic' idea may be shown by an illustration from the region of the beautiful. Tho marble figure which some stone -working poet hat baptized a Corinne or a Sappho, and whose features, expression and attitude combine all that is most dignified in a queen, all that is most simple in a shepherdess, all that is moat inspired in a poetic thinker, and all that is most attractive in a Venus—thio figure, for the possession of which to adorn their museums, the heads of the great mon. archies will contend with rival diplomacy and emulous gold, when dashed to'pieees by a sudden precipitation, is only ee much lime which the farmer can fling upon his land like straw or dung or any other re- fuse. Its value is gone as soon as tit has lost its form ; the material is com• mon and worthless. Whence, then,i this form, this species, the superaddition of which imparts so much value to an otherwise trivial material ! Whence did it coins, and what is it ? It is plainly neither more nor less than an image impressed by the plastic power of mind on a material utterly destitute of formative force, and the value of the work consists altogether in the amount of this force, or organizing intellectual energy, whichhas been made to act upon it from without. But this formative force is a thing altogether bloodless and untangible. Shat- ter the substance of the finest statue in the world to pieces, and the amount of calcine substance or earthly matter of lime remains the same as before the disintegration. It follows, manifestly, that the only real ele• ment in the admired object is that which according to common phraseology has ne reality in it, viz., the idea in the mind of the artist which has .been transfer- red to stone. This idea is, in fact, the only thing which truly exists so far as the work of art is concerned. It is the only thing also that possesses permanency ; for whereas the marble may be broken at any moment, the idea may at any tithe be recov- ered from the intellect of the artist where it was originally generated, and where it per. manently resides. That the ideas which bo - long to genius or original creative power aro innate, in the highest Platonic sense of the word, most people will be willing to concede. For, if not, why cannot every eye see in a daisy as much as a Burne or a Woodsworth saw ? Why is not the physiognomy of every dog as eloquent and as pregnant with pro. found expression to me and to you as it was to Landseer ? A common observer 'wants an eye' to seg in common objects what the great artist sees—that is to say, he wants an in- ternal plastic and organizing force ; for it is by this mental force only, and not by mere pupils, corneas, retinas, and other apparatus of mere sensuous vision that the man of genius obtains his superior insight. BRIDES, BABIES AND HATS. All Discussed Apropos of an American Wedding In tendon. We were at an American wedding at the Savoy Chapel on Thursday. The beautiful old chapel was filled with bright dresses and animated faces. Americans take their plea- sures less sadly than we do, which is one of the reasons of their popularity in English society. A handsome woman, dressed in terra-cotta and chene silk, who sat before me, smiled and chatted to hor friends, her big brown eyes gleaming under her curled "bangs." What would the Rev. Henry White have said could he have heard hor friend (in silver gray brocade and a becom- ing black lace hat trimmed with rosea) say to her, "Oussy, is this a Presbyterian chapel?" A lovely guest wore black velvet with gold galloon shoulder -pieces and a bonnet with spring flowers of yellow and lilac. She had one of those transparent complexions that change with every thought almost. A flicker of a blush came with her smile and deepened with her laugh. The bride wore so very simple a gown that it rather suggest- ed the rite of confirmation than the holy order of tnatrimony, and she looked very young and girlish as she passed +lip the church on her father's arm, with ahundancs of eolf.possession, but no bridesmaids. What a deep and tender interest we wo. men always take in brides. I often wonder why. In the eamo way we worship Labial when they are pretty and dainty and not equalling. But both brides and babies ars common enough. I can't think why ws should cure a scrap about them. There were some wonderful hats at this wedding at which some of the beat families of Philadelphia and Washington met so fat from home. I always notice that Americans aro particularly strong In hats. They da not fear to dare too much, perhaps because they are aware that their desert is by no means small. A gray hat had some yards of lace fastened on et tho back, brought round the left side of the neck very loosely, and thence draped down the front of the gray dress like a gathered plastron. Two pretty girls wore rosede gowns with floral hats.— /London Truth. Now ie the joyous season of the year when, if you are only acquaint- ed with the precious secret of their preparation, you can make for your- self with ten minutes work, candies more delicious than were purchased at the moat expensive confectioners,. The latter never have this particular sort of candies for sale because they will not keep. But, fresh -cooked, they are morsels for the gods, and this ie the way to snake thein : Take some big strawberries, ripe but firm, and hull them. Then mix two cupfuls of granulated sugar with a little less than ono cupfulof cold water. Put -4h° mixture on a hot fire and let it boil hard, with- out stirring, until'a spoonful drop- ped into cold water crystallizes to the brittle point immediately. Now take it off the fire and pour it into cups, previously warmed in the oven. Dip the strawberries one by one into this hot solution as quick- ly as possible, fishing them ouLvi_th forks and laying thein on g. eased tin pans. The briefest sort of inlniersio will be sufficient to give each b the desired coating of sugar eand Finally, set the pans on the ice i the refrigerator, and as soon as the fruit is cold it will be ready to eat. Perhaps "gobble" would be a more appropriate word, considering the eagerness With which such straw- berries are usually consumed. In very truth, they are not rivaled by any other kind of sugar plume, as you will yourself confess if you try them. Malaga grapes and nuts as well may be treated in the same way.
