 son. Who were the first settlers} <h it was settled and the various cha xit has passed through are questionS Eth naturally arise but are most diffa1EG<to answer. We have in our possea "a map of Arizona made in 1776 byEE1F. Pedro Font. Arizona at that time was part of Sonora, and Tucson, named on the map Tuqulson, was on the extreme north ern frontier of Sonora, and there does not appear to have been any civilized settle ment beyond it. It was evidently mili- tary post of some importance and from some of the oldest inhabitants we learn that the San Pedro and Santa Cruz valleys were cultivated quite extensively, that the country was covered with vast herds of cattle and that @ good deal of mining for gold and silver was carried on Ithas only been about six years since Tucson com menced to progress under the inspiration of American energy and ideas, and since that time it has constantly improved and expanded. It has a population now of about 1000. It is the nearest town to SonO- ra and profitable and extensive trade is kept up with that country. It is centrally located to an extensive and rich mining section and is also the centre of the most extensive and best grazing section in Ari- zona, while the valleys of the Santa Cruz San Pedro, Babocomari, Sonoita and up per Gila contribute to it's agricultural resources. Stock-raising and mining are in their infancy and Tucson must advance in proportion as these important interests are developed. Hence 1t is fair to presume that Tucson has but just commenced on the new era of prosperity and when we consider the vast resources that surround us and which have hardly yet been touch ed, with the trade that naturally comes to us from Sonora, it requires no stretch of imagination to predict that Tucson will in the near future be one of the most i'm portant interior towns on the Pacific coast. / THE weather continues very warm, but the people are goOd-natured and we see no indications of Spring fights and rows such as sometimes appear with the warm season. We have had some candidates among us for political honors this week, and the boys who have stood around in convenient places have been enabled to obtain some refreshments without costing them much. All the candidates we have seen talk fairly and say frankly that they want the best man to win. They of course have opinions of their own as to who the best man is, and even if they should have a slight conviction that personally they were the fellows, it Is pardonable and no one should find any fault about that. AS far as we can learn it is the declared inten- ton Of all the candidates to not buy any one. While this is little rough on the boys who are expected to do the blowing and striking, and no doubt think they are honestly entitled to turn an honest penny yet we like the Roman determination to stand on high and lofty ground. It re- minds us of the earlier and purer days of the Republic.

MIR. MITCHELL of the firm of Mitchell & Kerens, contractors to carry the mail on the south Pacific stage line from Mesilla, N. M., to San Diego, Cal, came in from California on Wednesdays stage, and left on Thursday for the Rio Grande He has consulted with our merchants to find out what they can afford to pay for bringing through fast freights, and seems deter mined to reduce 1t to the lowest possible margin. MT. Mitchell has also been ne- gotiating with Wells, Fargo & Co.,, to get them to establish express offices here and along the line. He says that Wells, Fargo & Co. are willing to open business with this country as soon as they can do so without loss, and he says he is willing to do his portion of their business at very low rates. James A. Moore, the present contractor, has been appointed superin- tendent of the line from here to Yuma, and better selection could not have been made, both for the contractors and to suit the people. We like the way Mitchell X Kerens are starting in. They took the mail contract very low, but they seem to appre- ciate the fact that we are co mmencing to prosper and that by opening up facilities they can help themselves by helping the country. The southern overland mail route was once the favorite road for pas SeDgers, especially for those coming from the south and southwestern states, and there is no reason why the southern Pa cific should not do large through busi- ness as soon as they are prepared to take passengers through comfortably, which we understand will be the case in a few weeks.

Lime VS.. Ashes.

Place piece Of iron or steel in damp
ashes, and it win soon corrode with rust.
Place iron or steel in lime mortar and II
win remain bright and the rust will disap-
pear. Sow small grain where brush pile
or log heap has been burned, or where
liberal dressing Of ashes has been applied,
and there win be a rank growth that will
probably fall and never mature. Sow grain
where lime has been applied to the soil,
and the grain viii grow with stout, stiff
straw, and plump, hardy heads, that ma
ture we'll
Ashes cause rank growth of herbace-
Gus parts Of plants, such as leaves, straw
and grass; lime induces a growth Of the
woody part Of the plants, and the grain or
fruit. Ashes stimulate heavy muck, and
rich or virgin soils They appear to dis
integrate or make available what is already
in the soil. They seem to act specially on
vegetable mold and manures from tho barn
yard. Apply them to the most offensive
pile of compost, and they viii render it in
odorous and worthless as a fertilizer, their
effect being that Of releasing the ammonia
from the compost. Ashes used with a
compost heap of decaying vegetable mat
ter would be wasted-worse than wasted
las they render the compost inert as
fertilizer. Applied to an offensive sink,
sewer or cess-pool, they serve an excellent
purpose as disinfectant. They promote
the growth Of grass and forage especially,
proving very valuable on low lands; will
stimulate trees, etc., to a vigorous growth
when the soil is strong. They exhaust
strong soils and injure poor ones. Lime
improves poor soils, especially sandy ones,
by rendering them more compact and ca
pable of retaining fertility when applied.
As promoter Of health and vigor of APP
pie trees, it is one of the best applications
that can be..made to the soil. Under its
influence trees mature well, the fruit is
finer and trees are freer from disease.
Lime may be applied with benefit on most
soils and many plants, but it is of special
value to the apple tree and strawberry
plant, while ashes are valuable for heavy
or rich soils for the grosscr feeding of
plants, such as our native plums and cur
rant bushes Cor Horticaltwia.

Cheerful Reeollections.

Mark Twain tells how he had the tooth
ache one-night in London, aud gives some
pleasing recollections of the dentists rooms
which he was wont to patronize when he
lived in Elmira. He says:
zone night that tooth did just jump,
and every time it jumped it raised my
head right off the pillow, How did lie
awake and think about that dentists shop
in Elmira, where had been under torture
so many times-of those pretty dental in
struments, so polished and so cold How
| did long to lay my cheek against one
one Of those short, thick heavy-twisted
chaps, with the bow-legged, auted and
curved handles, and short hawk s-bill jaws |
How reveled in delight at the thought
of having such thing clutch my refractory
tooth, and "yank it! With what pleas.
urable emotions came crowding into my
mind the recollections of that dentist and
his room and his 6xtures-his big, easy
chair, with the pretty white-curtained
window before it, and the nice, big red
glass spittoon to the left, with the hole in
the bottom, and the bits Of red cotton and
the bright pieces of gold and the streams
Of blood-stained saliva on the sides.
"And then, the pretty little bureau
with the bottles on the top and the little
yellow drawers which he jerks out so gent
ly when seeking for some new and more
delicate instrument of tortue. And when

with the nice drills and pretty files, and
the lovely little crowbars with the stained
ivory handles, and the long steel crochet
needles with which he hunts for new cav
tiles, and the little round pasteboard box

napkin, and the rubber ball syringe, aud

The prise Ram.

Our county fair is just over, but John
sons COtswold ram did not take the prize
that was offered for rhe best animal Of
that kind. Judge Pitman was chairman
Of the committee on rams, and he mani.
tested the deepest interest in johnson
ram, indicating clearly that If any sheep
ought to take prize that one ought to.
JOhnson's ram was by itself in pen with
high board fence, and before adjudicat-
ing the prizes the Judge thought he had
better 60 in and make close examination
Of the animal for the purpose of ascertain
ing the 6neness of its wool, etc. As soon
as the Judge reached the interior he
walked towards the ram, whereupon the
ram began to lower its head to the ground
and q shake il ominously. just as the
Judge was about to feel the fleece, the
ram leaped forward and planted its head
in the Judges stomach, rolling him over
on the ground. Before the Judge had
time to realize what had happened, the
ram came at him again and began series
ofpromiscuous butts, each given with the
precision and force of pile.driver. 1t
butted the Judge on the back, on the ribs,
on his arms, on his shoulder-blades, on
the bald place on his head, on his breast,
on his shins, it butted his nose, it butted
his watch into mass of loose cog-wheels,
it butted his sp,ctacles of, it butted his
high hat into black silk chaos, it butted
him over into fence corner and up against
the fence, then it butted four boards out
of the fence, butted down another of the
committee, butted three small boys into
fits, butted the money-taker at the gate,
and then fed out into the country, butting
harmlessly at the fresh air. The Judge
did not distribute the prizes that day
When collected from various parts of the
pen, they wiped the mud from his trousers
and the blood from his nose, and sent him
home with perennial stomachache and
determination to start after that wander
ing mutton the first thing in the morning
with a shot-gun.-Mar AdeIer.
