4 DoLoRoUs But GRAPHIC FIEw OF
HUMAN AFFAiRs.-A correspondent Of
Wisconsin Chief thus sums up TIE
characteristics Of human existence:
All confidence is lost between man
and man. The bottom has fallen out
of everything. Shrewd business man
ayers are cheating God in ther profess
sions and the devil in their bargain
Ginger is made out of mustard, and cot
fee Of clicory Young Hyson is rails.
in the COW pasture and Young
America in the dram shop. Pure
wines are made of poor whisky and
Haranas of herbs. Rascality has be
come a virtue, and whisky turned to
vinegar. Legislators are marked as
merchants mark goods and the peg
pies funds absorbed by charitable pur-
poses"
Governors are knocked off for fifty
thousand dollars; Legislators from FIVE
thousand to twenty thousand dollars.
Railroad stock is down below zero.
Caucuses are packed" and young
men electioneer on the Sabbath.
Fairbanks scales have taken to swind
ling and old rats too selling their tails
to spike cannon. Jewsharps are palm
ed off as harps Of thousand strings
and sperits of just men made perfect.
Sausages are adulterated and links
seem temtingly to wag in tie most dog
ged manper. Our Territory as well as
our crinoline is indefity expanding.
In fine there are none truthful save
horse jockeys; none patriotic save pol
iticians none talented but those who
make ''on change" of grocery cor
ner and cheat out of the needy what
they give to the Lord.

rHE TERRITORY OF ARIZONA


This territory is collection Of rug
gcd mountains rough hills and sandy
gullies with hard rocky soil upon
which the rains of heaven rarely de-
scend. The ella is the most reliable
stream in Arizona but in the summer
time comes very near drying up. At
ordinary stage the river is from six in
ehes to one foot in depth and from
fifteen to twenty-five yards wide. The
water is clear but strongly impregnated
with alkali-in some places to such an
extent as to render the water unfit for
use. Between Fort Yuma and a point
one hundred miles up the river the
only arabic land is occupied by the
Pine villages.
As you ascend the river the boz.
toms are narrow the soil light sand
and covered with an almost impaIpa-
PIE dust which nearly chokes the trav-
eler as he journeys along. During
the summer the weather is intensely
hot sweltering nearly insupportable
and the river water so warm that it is
absolutely nauseating For reptiles
of all sorts-tSraatulas, snakes, cent?
pedes ravenous bugs and ferocious flies
it is the finest country in the world !;
and they combined with the heat dust
and bad water arc enough to sicken a
person Of the ella in very short time
and SO far had that effect.
EVENT. good land and water were
abundant the region is isolated almost
inaccessible traVersed by Indians and
in fact never can be of any value ex-
cept for its minerals if any should be
found sufficient valuable to pay men
for risking their lives in one of the
most desolatc regions of the world.
In the winter season the climate of
the ella valley is extremely cold with
severe frosts and biting winds. OF
game there is very little; fish are
found in the upper waters and tributa-
ries but they are coarse fabey anl in
the warm season as soft as mud. Still
they are the only fish in Arizona that
is in the streams property Aria.
Around Mount Graham the is a little
patch oflaud that might be farmed
but it will probably be needed for. an
Indian reservation So much for the
ella river valley which has been men
toned as paradise and a garden spot
