In the southern part of Arizona they had ripe Watermelons in February. What kind of a coun- try is that?-De,suer (ColoradO) Tribune.
 A kind of country that will rival the most highly favored sec- tions, when it shall have been more fully developed. Yes, we have ripe melons in February, and do not think it strange. If we. do not greatly mistake, ten years hence there will have taken place transformation in this region that will surprise the transformers themselves. We believe that there can be produced in some part of Arizona everything that grows in any climate; and when our pastoral and mineral resources shall have been brought into more extended notice, instead of "What kind of acountry is that?" the cry will be, ''HO! for Arizona"

 A little later we meet lot of half-breed wretches accompanied by debased women, bearing bot ties of lnescal, from which they drink as we approach and give vent to the wild whoops which make women shiver and men shoot in Arizona. The cochero recognizes an amigo among them; the coach stops; he descends and embraces his friend; drinks fol low. and a stream of talk; then the bottle is handed in at the coach window with a polite request un- necessary to repeat here; we de- cline, and first com mand then po- litely ask, the loquacious Whipster to drive on. He mounts the box and gathers up the reins as tho he were handling cactus-leaf; more talk; and after a series of maps we are awakened by the rat ting of the coach over cobble- stones, and the stage stops in front of an office in HermoSillo; where I alighted, and pushing through crowd of boys as inn portunate as Broadway runners, walked and inquired till l found the American Hotel of Mir. liar risOD.
