YUMA COUNTY.

Under the head of "Public Buidings," the Arizona City Sentinel of January 2jth, ad mits the agitation of the question of proyid- ing the Territory with capital and pcnitcn- tiary, "by one of it. contemporaries" mean. ing the MISER, and then walks into the Governor for having admitted that he did not know how much of the internal revenue taxes collected from citizens of the Territory was ic our credie at Washington. Well, it i, an easy matter to learn said amount, SO sc will cnlighten the Sentinel by informing IL that the Legislature of 1871 located the site for the penitentiary, at or near Phoenix, on Salt River; a very good place, indeed. Regarding the present location of the capital, we quite agree with the Sentinel that Tue son Is not the proper place, but whether Ar- zona City would be a better location, as re- gards central;ty, is a knotty question. Ph9- nix would be better, but it is not central point; and, at present, it Is not an easy mat ter for any of our marksmen to strike the centre. So, we will proceed Capt.

About Insane Persons.

We print, below, copy of A communica- tion, which our governor recently addressed to Hon. J. P. Hargraye, president of the council, which. if acted upon by the legisla ture, will, in future, be of great relief to the several counties, as well as to the unfortunate class to be provided for. Here is what the governor says:
 herewith transmit copy of n communication from the board Of supervisors of layapai county relative 10 tue of the insane in that county also bill Of expenses already incurred by said county Tor their care and maintenance. have already called your attention 10 the subject of making some provision for this class Of unfOr- tnnale people. In my judgment, the Territory should pay the expense or supporting the insane alter they taken to the asylum, but the arrest and conveyance 10 the asylum should bc done by apd at tue eXpcuse Of the several counties for the reason that local officers could act with more promptness and economy than territorial officer much time would be consumed in communi eating from and to the different portions Of the Territory, and frequently local officers could range 10 place the lnnalic in charge of persons who were going 10 California on business, should a contract toe made to keep them In that State. l deem t but just that the counties that have in cured expenses, should be reimbursed from the Territorial treasury to the same extent that you may provide for paying said expenses out of the Territorial treasury in Inc future.
 A. r. K. SAFYoRD, Governor.
 Should the bill now before the legislature reducing the Territory's per ceatum of taxes paid and collected by the counties-become a law, we would offer no objection to the foregoing plan; if not, the MINER beliyes that the Territory should pay all expenses connected with the care of the insane.

Government Supplies.

By advertisements which we publish on the fourth page of this paper it will be seen that Major Dana, chief quartermaster of this department, will receive proposals for furn- ishing corn, barley, hay, wood, and transpor- tation, until noon of March % when said bids will be opened.
 By reference to circular recently issued and circulated by Major A. W. Evans, acting chief commissary of subsistence, we find that proposals for furnishing the several posts in the Territory with four and beans, will be received Gntil March > 1873.
 Now, to meet the wants of government, in the way of supplies and transportation is no small job for citizens of this Territory, and it iS to be hoped that good crops and immunity from loss by barbarians will attend them during the coming year, SO that they may be enabled to replace some of their losses of former years

The Legislature.

The friends of the MINER at the capital, have furnished US with the proceedings of inc Legislature up to recent date, by which we see that i, was Mir. Wool.ey of Maricopa county, who introduced the bill for the re- moyal of the capital from Tucson to Phoenix, a measure for which, rumor hath it, MT. \. O. Moves of Prescott, voted and laborcd.
 The same gentleman is accused of having worked and voted for the segregation of Wickenburg from his own county, and the soldering of said town to Maricopa county. Believing that be has done these things his friends here are anxious to know what deep mystery or master stroke Of policy MT. Moves means to lay bare, or strike, by his Uo thcm) neXplcable action.
 The bill permitting county treasurers to appoint deputies has become a law. The Council is accused of having "Ring," composed of Messrs. Rugslcs, WUul,ey, Hen ming and Noycs, and it is said that this ring has tried to encompass both houses.
 Not long since, when Mr. Aldrich of Pima introduced bill to locate the Territorial prison at Prescott, Mr. Moves of Prescott | (we are told) jumped up and asked for an adjournment, which move, when added to his subsequent move on the question of cap ital and county division, If the report ol said moves I've true) has led many good ! friends of Mr. Moves to cxclaim that he 1 (Noyesj must bc crazy or, if not crazy, hc has certainly sold out cheap.

The Railroad Outlook.

Although certain California papers have crowed, lu>sly, over the displacement of Mr. Andrew J. Pierce, as President of the At lantic and Pacific Railroad Company, and the appointment to that position of Mir Alden E. Stockwell, we beg to be excused from joining in the cackling. until such time as the new rooster shall prove to be better than the old. A year or more ago, the same papers took on over inc election of Mr. Pierce, whose feathers they now tread upon. The MIXER has enough shortcomings of this kind to answer for

By the death of Mr. Wm.

very few blue flowers, not many blue
birds, no fishes nor insects, nor animals;
in animals and in all the human race
there is no blue atall. Blue eyes, which
ligbt-haired people all fancy they pos
sess, are about the rarest things IN ma
ture. Green is becoming in itself, be-
cause it annuls any tinge of green which
may be latent to the completion, and
which. in dark persons. is often more
obtrusiye than the owners are aware of.
Pale green, SO trying to the majority of
faces, Is, In some cases, q pretty orna-
.ment, and may be mixed craftily, with
pale blue in most charming manner.
The dress offered to Enid, " where ike
a shoaling sea the lovely blue played in
to the green" is one Of Tennyson's hap
piest thoughts. Red is to be arranged
With caution. The Spanish woman have
made a deep red rose in the hair, Just
under the ear, an undying fashion.
Deep heavy reds are much used in the
.draperies- of the old Italian masters,
espeeially Of Titan but they are al-
ways aided and contrasted, as no woman
can contrive to be, when moving from
place to place. Yellow is an unjustly
despised color. 1t has many beautiful
shades, and only when too pure is it I'M
manageable. The dandelion must be
used only in single vivid spots of flame.
An older face must be more gently dealt
with, by q brownish yellow. The bru-
nette may wear a green yellow, and be
ali the better for it. Some yeIlows
make the skin look fairer than it really
is, and, Of course, enhance the blues
and pinks- What is called buff, a some-
what dull, tawny or warm yellow is one
Of fthese. We all know how beautiful
is the effect Of yellow hnif when it oo-
ours, which is not often, certainly /; and
how finely bit of this color hghtens
and WHITES a picture. Yellow also goes
pleasantly with number of colors. A
pale dull blue is one; but pure blue
and yellow are very harsh together.
One ont of two eolors should always be
dull and not too pure this is not gem
orally known, or it is forgotten, and
the result is the coarse and vulgar con-
trasts that we see around us.

Pecuuniary value Of Eyes, Feet and
Hands.

/
By dilligent inquiry OF aeurate inves-
tigation, one may make very satisfac-
tory estimate of what a man Is. worth,
| deprived of some of his senses and shorn.
of all his fair proportions. The loss of
both feet, for example, secures the un-
fortunate fellow $40 per month. The
loss 81 Both hands and lhe siylit 6fb6th
eyes Ssin bring aiil "a .,25s per month. tBut
these terrible evidences of patriotic
ardor must have BEEN received between
the 4th, OF. July, 1884. and the Sd of
of June, 1872. To those who, between
March 8, 1855, and June 3, 1872, lost
one hand and one foot, $50 per month
is given, andlto- those lNRo, besWeenl
June 6, 1866, and June 3, 1872, lost the
same members, S15 per month is allowed.
So that in some respects, it is seen, the
ruling prices of hands and feet decline,
A man totally and permanently disabled
in both hands between June 6, 1856,
and June. 3, 1872, can have $25 per
month. A Oneeyed man, who. was un-
lucky enough during the same period to
lose the sight of his other eye so as to
require regularly the personal-aiti and
attendance of another person, also can
have $25 per month. And if in the
period last specified a soldier or other
person in the service Of the United
States beeatae sermanehtly disabled in
both feet, in one hand and one foot, or
in any other way so as to have become
incapacitated for the performance of
manual labor, but not so totally helpless
Is o0require the PERSONAL aid and az
tention. gularly Of any Other person, i
is obligatory on the government to pay
him $40 per month, while s15 per month
is given to all other persons totally and
and permanently disabled in the same
period, in one hand OF one foot, or other
wise so that their iEability to psrforn
manual labor would be naturally con-
sidered equivalent to the lossof one of
thess iusefll1, if NOS wholly essential
members. After June 4, 1872, the loss
of the sight of both eyes, the loss of the
sight of one eye when that Of the other
led been previously lost, the loss of
both hands and -both feet, ,swin serve to
give the injured party $34 25 per month. !
The permanent disabelingo both hands,
-eF- both-feet, So that the-PersOn-
obliged to have the. regular assistance
of another, win yield the same sum. If
one hand and one foot Is gone, or SO
Impaired as TO- prevent manual labor.
$24 is given, If one hand or one foot
islost, or so badly hurt as to prevent
mammal labor, which would be consider
ed, equivalent to the loss of hand or
foot, $1s per month is allowed A per-
son who has lost leg above the knee
SO that he cannot use an artificial limb,
can receive S24 per month. The loss of
hearing of both ears is considered to be
worth S13 per month. The pension for
temporary disability is, wRi1e It lasts,
satg the SAME rate as provided fof. per-
manent disability.

Material 81 oonveraation.

Personalities are often regarded as
the zest, but mostly are the bane of con-
yersation. For experiences seemst to have
ascertained, and at least usuage has de-
termined, that personalities are always
spieed With more orless Of malaee. But
surely, YOU would not have mixed con-
versation always settle into discussion
Of abstract topics /? Commonly speak
ing, you might as well feed your guests
with straw, chips and sawdust. Often,
TOO, il happens that, in proportion as
the subject Of conversation is made
abstract, its tone becomes harsher and
more doQmatical. And what are women
to do? they whose thoughts always
cling to what Is personal, and seldom
mount into the cold, vacant air Of specu-
Iasion, unless they have something more
solid to climb around You must adj
NIT that there would be a sad dearth Of
entertainment and interest and life in
conversation sithout something of
anecdote and story. Doubtless. But
this is very different from personality.
Conversation may have al that is lively
and pleasant without anything that
comes under the head Of personality.
The house in which, above all others I
have ever been an inmate Of, the lie
and the spirit and the Joy Of converse
ton have been the most intense, is the
house in which hardly ever heard an
evil word uttered against any one.s
