 MARICoPA WELLS, August 20.-Yester- day afternoon a party of MeXicans who camped near here, sold whisky to several Indians who live about the Wells. In an hour one was so drunk as not to be able to sustain his equilibrium more than half the time. He raved about like mad until his father came and led him away. At sight of his paternal relative, he cried like a child. Considerable feeling was mani fested by citizens here, but no steps were taken to have the MeXicanS punished as their conduct deserved.

The Beauty and Value of our
 County.

The beauty and value of the country to the east, south, southeast, southwest and west of Tucson, are matters of surprise to all strangers who have occasion to ex anime or visit those sections; and even those who have been more or less familiar with them for many years, and have lately traversed the same, are more than usually enthusiastic in praise of them. The grass is green and abundant; timber is ample for ordinary uses; delicious water is found in almost every canyon; and the climate is simply unsurpassabiy. Mines of gold, silver and copper are plentiful anG at this writing some hundreds of men are at work upon them Mir. HarShaw and the Sanford Bros, who are stockgrowers of years of experience and extended ob- servation, say they know of no such sec tion of country for stock, and therefore have located on the San Pedro and Cie- mega; and Messrs. Hewitt & Bartlett, whose business has required them to per sOnally go over thousands of miles of country from Idaho to Sonora and nearly all of Arizona, are in favor of locating not very far from Camp Crittenden, E, N Fish & Go. claim 10 have, and no doubt have, one of the most valuable of stock ranches within about twelve miles of Crit tenden. Larkin w. Carr has taken his 5000 sheep to the Arivaca ranch, and Gov. Stafford and associates have fifteen hundred near the Altar road, some sixty miles southwest of Tucson. Wm. B. Hooper & Co. and Geo. H. Stevens have fine stock ranches near Camp Grant; and the Graham. Chiricahua, Dragoon. Hua- chuca, Santa Rita and other mountains south of the Gila are full of choice sites. The Chiricahua mountains being on an Indian reserve, are not new available for stock-growers, but all the others are, and some day not far distant the Chircahuas wi be, All along the southern border, the country is especially well adapted to sheep because of the small amount of undergrowth and the extensive natural parks. The Gila, San Pedro, Sonoita and Santa Cruz always have water enough to irrigate lands to grow all the grain and vegetables needed by an immense popu- letion of teck-growers, miners and me chanlcs. For the past two years, rain has fallen nearly every month. With the Texas and Pacific railway along the 32d parallel and a connecting road from about here to Guaymas, this country has all that could be desired in the way of en- couragement ahead.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

.->FARIS, August l4.-Marshal BaZeine ar rived at 10 a. m. Monday, at Genoa on board the steam Yacht Baron Ricasoli. He was disguised as a servant. He must consequently have escaped from the island of St. Marguerite by nine p. m. the previous evening. The statement of the governor of the fort that he went to bed at 10 p. m. Sunday night, is therefore un- true. 1t is thought the fugitive certainly had accomplices among the prison au- day and will go to Brussels via Cologne. France will make no demand for his ex- tradition.
 LONDON, August l5.-Holland, Belgium and Italy have recognized the Spanish re- public.
 Marshal BaZaine has arrived at Cologne, where he will remain 8 few days awaiting the arrival of his children. He declares that only his wife and brothers-in-law as- sisted him to escape.
