THE LIVELY ARIZONA KICKER.
Views on Matters sod Things From a
Breezy Standpoint.
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

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,

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

year then next preceding, in order
that they may have the benefit of
the exception aforesaid.

WE CAN'T SEE IT.
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.

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.

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.
"Have you seen the past, present, and
future brooches? They seem to take

in white enamel, and a quotation from
Euripedes traced on the shell: 'The sor-
row of yesterday is as nothing; that of

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.'

combination temper of that variety

"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.'

tury gentleman felt

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."-

man as he stopped in front of the other
man, forcing him to pause in his pro-

import, without waiting for the other to
speak. "How do I know? Because I
have a presentiment. I'm a-havin' 'em

"It sorto wears on a feller to know

what it is. It's especially wearin' when
a feller ata t had nothin' much to eat or

And the presentiment for ogee was
not false, for two minutes later the man
afflicted with the presentiments was dis-

LINCOLN'S OFFER OF MARRI-

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.—

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.
