H.

But while the inhabitants seemed the same, their hahitatious were totally diff ferent. Instead of tho unsightly adobe houses. with mud roofs, and no windows to speak of, that they possess at present, there were long rows of two-story buildings, French windows aud shade trees before every house. The streets, full of wagons, buggies and every other conceivable vehicle, rush. ing, crashing and tearing along as if the safety of the nation depend ed on their speed. The sky, bristl- ing with church spires and towers ofpublic buildings, while the clang of bells, the scream of steamboats and the shriek and rumble of the locomotive, intermixed with the cries and yclls of hundreds of hackmen, made up mass of sounds that convinced me l must be in the internal regions or first class American city.
 Lost with amazement, I walked to the corner of Nam and First streets. Hooper's block was COW cred with a large bank building. which I was informed was the E;tnk of Arizona; the City Bank was on Neahr's corner; e.proof Warehoust1s on Larkin's tot, and Tom Hughes had a moaster hotel, with all the modern improve

In fact everybody was doing welL Just then I caught sight of VI.

I inquired what had become of the heathen Chinee next door. He informed Ele that the Celestial gentleman, in com- pany with ten thousand of his race, was engaged in the culture of rice, near the mouth of the river. The Government had con- structed levees along the river, where needed, from Mohave to to the mouth, and cotton, rice, to- bacco, sugar-cane, and fruits of all kinds were successfully cultivated the whole distance. He succeeded in convincing me that the Colo rado was the Mississippi of the Pacific, and Arizona City it's New Orleans.
 The Indians were all on reserva- tions and getting rich growing sugar-cane, and Arizona City crushed sugar commanded the highest figure in the Eastern mar kets. Greatly excited, I rushed to my shanty to find out how I stood, and while attempting to figure out whether I was a bankrupt or 8 millionaire, I awoke to my in- tense disgust, and l. am still in the dark as to my financial position in the year 1882.

Close Pruning Grapes.

Mr.. NJ. Pike, of Alton, Illinois, is a
very successful grape-grower. At one
ofthe meetings of the Alton, Illinois,
horticultural Society he gave his ex-
perience, and remarked: "I am salts
fed that the majority of grape. growers
over-crop their vineyards. I have
been each year reducing the wood in
my vineyards, until now my Catawba
canes are more than three and a half
feet long, and but one care, and am
getting just as near the ground as pos
sible, for the reason, with others, that
they are easily laid down for protec-
ton through the winter. Last year
my Catawba vines made much the
heaviest growth of wood, and produced
the largest punches CT fruit of any in
my vineyard; probably fifteen per
cent. moro than my Concortls. They
ripened up well (they not merely col
ored) under this system of this success
sion Of leaves. I grow three leaves of
different ages. The original leaf is the
most valuable one. then grow two
additional ones. You may have the
succession of leaves very early by
pinching early. do no summer pru-
ining."

Spontaneous Combustion of Rags.

In view of the recent destruction of
Chicago, it will not be amiss to speak
of some late experiments in sponta-
! neous combustion. A Detroit Chem
| list, last March, took a piece thread
bare cotton cloth, smeared it with
boiled linseed oil and packed it in the
center of a chest filled with paper and
rags. Although the room was not
tight, and the weather was cold there
was smell of fire about the trunk
in eight days. Unpacking it the ex-
perimenter found the rag half charred.
In April he made similar experiment
with pair of painters overalIs, which
he rolled up in pine shavings, and
crowded in next to the roof boards of a
loft. In week the smell of smoke
alarmed q workman in the next room,
and the ovcralls were found to be on
fire: And during the hottest weather
a handful Of cotton rags, not smeared
with oil, became hot enough, when
hung up in a tin box in the sun, to
light matches which had been placed
among them. These facts show the
necessity of caution in putting away
rags, especially those that may be satu-
rated with oil, benzine or other in
lflammable substance.

When thoroughly wet, squeeze it out
as you do Il sponge; then rub it pretty
hard all over the surface of the glass
taking care that it is not so wet as TO
run down in streams; in fact, the paper

then go over the glass with a piece Of
fresh newspaper till it looks clean and
bright. The inside of windows may
be cleaned the same way; also specta-

better; but in the absence of that a
very old newspaper, on which the ink
has become thoroughly dried, should
be used. Writing paper will not an
