FARMING IN ARIZONA.

A New York Tribune cores
pondent thus reports what ''the
Judge" told about farming in
Arizona; ''Do you know how
they carry on agriculture down
there ?" asked the Judge
"There was a fellow who hired
himself out as a farm hand in
Arizona, and the first day his
master told him to cut some
wood. So he asked for an axe,
but the farmer said, mo, we
don't cut wood with an axe
here, and he gave him a sledge
hammer to knock and break
off the mesquit which they
burn down there. The next
day John was ordered to cut
soliie nay, anu was loohlhS
about for the scythe, when his
master said, 'We don't cut hay
withes scythe down here and
Y he gave him a hoe to cut down
the woody stalks with which
they swindle the horses there
for hay. The third morning
the farmer called his man to
s;ometout and plant corn. John
looked for the hoe, but his mas
ter said, I'VE don't plant corn
with a,hoe out here ! and gave
him a crow-bar with which to.
punch holes in the ground
wherein to drop corn, and John
left the country in disgust at
that kind Of farm, work"

Stokes SENTENCED.

Wednesday last the Jury in tie tn
al OF Stokes for the murder Of Fisk re-
TUNED a verdict Of mansIaughter in
the third degree. 1t will bs remem-
bered that this is his second trial foI
the crime, and that the verdict on the
first trial was murder in the first de-
gree and he wssi sentenced to death
but that new trial was granted him.
The closing scene of the trial, when
asked il he had anything to say before
passing the sentence, was as follows
The prisoner, who seemed COM
pletely overcome, answered in q voice
that was inaudible except to those
quite close TO him, have nothing to
say.
Judge Davis then pronounced the
senteDce Of the court. He said: In
rendering this verdict, Stokes, the ju-
~ have exhausted, and more than ex-
lIausted, all mercy in your case. No
appeal to this court can diminish the
sentence beyond the highest penalty
as fixed by statute to the degree in
which you are convicted, and that is
apparently trifiing as compared with
the great crime you have committed.
/ do not desire to make any further re-
marks on this case, out shall impose
upon you all that the law confers up
on me power to give, OILY regretting
that the sentence cannot be more ad-
equate to the awful crime that rests
upon your guilty head. The sentence
OF the court is that you be confined in
the State Prison Of Sing Sing, at hard
labor for the term Of four years.
The prisoner, after receiving the
moved in the custody of the court Of

FInaneIaI situation Eastnard.

Friday and Saturday closed an un.
satisfactory week in New York. The
great event of the week was the sus.
pension of the heavy manufacturing
firm OF A. 4. w. Sprague in Rhode
Island. This firm, like many OF the
leading banks and other business
concerns which bave been brought to
protest by the panic, is abundantly
strong, having shown satisfactorily
to an examining committee appoint
ed by the banks that its assets exceed
its liabilities by more than eight
millions Of dollars. The fatal fact of
the moment was that 1t needed two
millions of ready money, to borrow
which it was ready 10 put.up seven
millions of collateral, buC to borrow
two millions In times like these is q
practical impossibility. So the firm
has been obliged to temporarily sus-
pend, and when on Saturday similar
rumOrs where circulated concerning
the renowned dry goods firm Of II.
B. Claflin & CO., they found ready
credence. The fact about Mr.. Clsfiin
seems to be that ia order to save the
Spragues he bought nearly q million
dollars worth of manufactured goods
from them last week, and paid cash
for them. This weakened him for
the moment, and as his collections
from the country are slow he is
obliged to ask a brief extension on
some of his open accounts, which has
been readily granted. He assures the
banks that he needs no help from
them and announces his entire eapa-
biliIy of taking care of all his notes
and bank PAP er as fast as they ma
ture. The assurance that Claflin & 20.
were safe had a reRssuriDg effect on
Saturday and the day closed with 8
better feeling. The New York banks
at noon held eighteen millions of cur
rency, a gain of four millions over the
previous weeks statement-Ledder.
