The debate on tho tariff bill grres promises of being botli heated and lengthy. It will no doubt receive several tiuishing touches iu the way of amendments before its tiual disposi tion by Congress. Down in Kaigo a repoitor on one of the dailies, speaking of a prominent milliner who was lading in her spring stock of goods, said: "Ho was pleased to see her stocking up." The next day that repot let was chased three blocks and a $4 parasol broken over his head.

No power on earth is so ationg to build up a town as a news paper well pationiztid, and its power should be appreciated." The grandeur of the Giand Canyon is beyond doubt one of tho greatest attractions on this continent. Each e.tr brings this curiosity nioro and more into prominence It has never been questioned, sus the Piioenix Ileiald, but what I he Grand Can nu of the Colorado, iu Arizona, is tho eighth wonder of the win Id; and it stunils today at the head of the list as tliu gicatest wonder of womleiH, and vill ever reiuaiu no ns long as eaith itself exists.

Giro this home iuslilutiin your patronage aud let fake houses go by the board, Mo have Miner. Tb Urandeur of til Press. Referring to the pi ess when con ducted by men imbued with tho sense of duty aud inspiied by noble princi ples the Picayune truly declares that even with the human faults and infir mities which tbo press inherits fiom the hands and minds of tho men who have made it what it is, it is a graud institution, the bulwark of libuity, the friend of freedom, the great advocate and tribuno of the people against all tyranny and oppression and a universal educator. Tho press cannot be greater than its crcatois, but it is as grand as i anything human can bo. Its mission is truly noble, and it will have work to do so long as humanity iu a civil ized state shall remain upon tho earth. Men, with their pride of opinion, their selfish Achoraos, their vaulting ambi tions, may come and go, but tho press goes on foi ever, to assist in the graud work of tho humanizing, civilizing, educating, elevating and confirming mankind in honesty, truth aud virtue, and in helping tbu race ouwaid to its highest destiny.
