Arizona Finances.

The books Of the Territorial Treasurer showa cash balance January l, of S1 ,555.47, and no indebtedness against the Territory. The taxes of 1873 have not yet been re- ceived, which will amount to about SI5,- GOO, so it may be safely said that Arizona is out of debt with Sl6,000 cash in hand. We very much doubt if any other Territory can make such a fine showing, especially if the amount of taxable property be taken into consideration. It is true the Territory has not erected any public buildings, but otherwise it has had the ordinary expenses of all other Territories 10 meet. And we may very safely add that taken for the ten years of it's existence, no other Territory has been better financially managed than Arizona. And we may say further that as a class the business men of the Territory have nearly all prospered, and but very few failures, and they of small compara- tive importance, have occurred.

The ball on New Years Eve in Congress Hall was largely attended, and without stretching the truth bit, it was the finest one of the season. The ladies were nu- merous and many of them looked very charming. The gentlemen, or those wno can be depended upon at balls, were near ly all out and hood it down just as though they had not served equally well at dOz- en or so dances in Tucson within acouple of weeks. There is great deal of dane ing talent in this burg and it seems to be increasing in vim as well as extent.

BRIGGS GOODRICH Is a rare human brute and has for couple of months past resided in Florence. He is said to have resided in San Diego county awhile and also in Texas, and did not eX- eel in either as a good citizen. Monday night of this week, he severely pounded and kicked his young and not very robust wife, and the latter says he struck his in- fant child on the head with a shoe; also burned up his wife's shoes and stockings, and then taunted her regarding evidence ofhiS brutality. Unfortunately the woman has the black marks about the head and limbs. A number of citizens of Florence decided to notify him at g a. m. Tuesday, to leave there and not return. Goodrich must be a coldbloOded savage at heart, for we are informed that he does not drink liquors, and when duly sober com mitted the outrage just related. His wife telegraphed on Wednesday from Tucson, to her mother in New York for funds to enable her to return there.

As another evidence of why the 32d par alleI railroad should be built before any other across the continent, a citizen Of Tucson hands us the following:
 Roderick Mclean, John Miller and John Mcleod started from Prescott on the first day of December for the eastern States via Albuquerque, N. M., but when as far as about no miles from Prescott (35th paral- leD, they encountered snow to the depth of four feet, through which their animals could not travel, and they were compelled to turn back and come by way of Tucson If snow is four feet deep up there on the first of December, where SnOws fall during the winter, what depth may it be on the first of March? The gentlemen named are well known in Prescott and are now in Tucson.

closer attention and more constant super vision, and in none is there so large an amount of apprehension and anxiety. Without ability, it is almost impossible to succeed, and!without the strictest attention to details, there is little or no hope of sue required in the prosecution of commercial pursuits. In the great game of life, what a man does must be made to count, and in no pursuit is this principle so impOr- tant as in that of commerce, where activi- ty and energy bring their due reward.

Capturing a Python.

AN Interesting account of the capture
of large python, sent last year to the
Geological Gardens at Dublin from Cal
cutta, by DIR. DObson, appears in the APP
pendiX to the report of the Science and
Art Department just issued. 1t seems
chat in January, 1873, the python was
seen on Il mango tree Overhanglng tank
in garden belonging to IA native gentle
man in the suburbs of Calcu TIA. On an
attempt being made to dislodge him he
suddenly uncoiled himself from the
branch on which he was resting and
flung himself into the tank, disappearing
beneath the water and remaining in
strict seclusion for some time, for he
was not seen again for Il month, when he
was again observed on another mango
tree on the edge of the same tank. His
temperance having been reported to
DIR. Dobson by Mr.. Oscar Fraser OF the
Indian Museum that gentleman proceed
ed to the garden with Photographic ap-
paratus and succeeded in obtaining Il
portrait of the ani,'al coiled up in the
tree. The gardener was then bribed to
protect" the python until the next
morning, when his capture was to be at
tempted. On the following day, accord
ingly Il snake -charmer and several
coolies with some nets proceeded to the
garden to seize the python. They were
only just in time, for in the meantime
the gardener had received a second
bride from some other persons who were
also anxious to possess the snake. These
persons had gone to the city for another
snake -charmer and more coolies, and
were momentarily expected on the spot.
The gardener, however, with singular
prudence, secured a third bride by giving
notice of their intentions, and thus DR.
Dobson's party were first in the field.
The operations commenced by the snake
charmer ascending the tree and being
bitten severely in the hand by the
python, who failed to appreciate his
charms The python, then, as on the
former occasion, made Il hurried retreat
toward the tank but was Melted by the
coolies, who carried hin off in triumph,
to the great disgust of the other party,
who, with their snake charmer and their
coolies, were just in time to be too
late" Some difficulty was experienced
in procuring Il passage for the python to
this country. but this was happily over
come and he arrived safely at the Dublin
Geological Gardens, where he was re-
ceived with the welcome due to Il pc
culiarly loathsomc and dangerous reptile

French Economy in the Kitchen.

MR.. MEDIII., in ii letter from France to
the Chicago Tribune, writes as follows
concerning the saving habits of the
French housekeepers:
"Compared with these French people,
our Americans are wastefully improvl-
dent and eXtravagant. 1T seems TO me
they live on ust about one-halt what the
Americans do. They have Il knack, so
to speak, of making a little go II great
way, and of extracting subsistence or
comfort from things an American would
throw away or never notice. 1t may be
instructive to point out Il few OF the mat
tiers to which reference is here made. In
the first place, not an ounce OF food is
wasted in harvesting or preparing Tor
market. In the next place, not an ounce
more of vegetables, flesh, fish, or fowl
groceries, or liquids than is really needed
ever goes into the pot or kettle, or is
placed on the table. The wife of every
French family knows to Il nicely what
quantity of each kind of food is the least
that will suffice to make Il comfortable
meal and not particle more or less Is
served. There are no slop-buckets full
of broken victuals left on the table after
breakfast or dinner To be thrown into the
street or manure-heap, or flung to dogs
or swine, as in America. No pieces of
bread or meat, or vegetables, are thrown
away; such quantities are not bought as
to become stale or spoiled in the cellar
or pantry. Servants are never permit
ted to waste, or steal food for poor rela
tions, rs in America. The lady of the
house looks after her marketing, her
kitchen and her pantry with sharp eyes
and unflaguing care The economy in
the consumption of fuel for cooking and
house warming is immense as compared
with that in our wasteful country. One
reason of course is, that wood and coal
IN France are scarce and dear. They
cost at least double the price paid there
for in the United States; but the do
nestle consumption is not one-quarter
AS much"

How They Finally & Married.

ONE long summer afternoon there came
to Mr.. Davidson's the most curious speci-
men of an ola bachelor the world ever
heard Of He was old, gray, wrinkled
and odd. He hated old wOmen-espe-
cially old maids-and wasn't afraid to say
so. He and Aunt Patty had it hot when
ever chance drew them together; yet still
he came, and it was noticed that Aunt
Patty took unusual pains with her dress
whenever he was expected.
One day the contest waged unusually
strong, and Aunt Patty left in disgust and
went out into the garden.
"That bearl' she muttered to herself
as she stopped to gather flower which
attracted her attention.
What did you run for?" said gruff
voice behinG her.

"Yo, didn't do it, did you?"

What! us two fools get married.

The eighth girl puts the packages into
reams and half reams and seals them up.
Now, did you ever hear in any fairy
story OF Il transformation more wonder
full than from Il disgusting dirty rag to a
dainty sheet OF note-papers And if that
sheet of paper contains IA letter from your
''dearest friend" wouldn't you put it
among your treasures?
But want to tell you another thing
DO you know what droli things were
used to write on before papermills
were invented or cotton rags thought of?
The first writing was on flat stones, the
words cut in don't think MANY letters:
were written in those days.
After that the skins OF anima1G were
used dressed and prepared, of course.
But that grew inconvenient in time, and
then leaves were used. You think that
is funny, perhaps; but some people use
leaves to this -day.-The Chinese do,
and the Hindo,s use dried leaves, like
our palm-leaf fans, with the letters
pricked in.
But the first thing men made to write
on was papyrus. Papyrus is water
plant, and was prepared for use by soak
ing the stem till it would unroll in lay
ers. These thin layers, being dried, were
pasted over each other, and the whole
smoothed with polishing stone.
That made a very good paper for the
first attempt, and gave us name for cur
elegant super -super," cream-laid,"
etc, which fills our desks, and which
some of us mot you and y waste dread
tully.-Harper's Bnzor. Hs.
