Having considered the pelt1On TOT commutation of sentence of Manuel Abiles convicted of murder in your county, I decline to commute the same, or in any way interfere in the judg- ment and sentence of the court. The law must take its course.
 COLRs BAsHFoRD,
 Secretary and Acting-Governor.
 The statements of the petition did not warrant executive interference. Sc:GRe Of -tho-s;: rn ncrs~of it, admit Abiles was guilty of murder in the first de gree, and that he confessed to having struck the fatal blow; which, however was not necessary to that degree of murder under the circumstances.
 Since Governor Bashford telegraphed the above on last Monday, several dis patches have been received by him making appeals. in behalf of Abiles. The answers are all that the law must take its course.
 We hold that the courseof the Exec utive is upon the whole the more humane To grant the petitioners re quest would not only tend to tritie with law and the administration of it by courts and juries, but to encourage a belief, too well founded now, that trials are mere farces of the most expensive character, and that although the peo- pie of Arizona are opposed tO murder, they do not want to see the law for murder enforced Murderers would thereby be justly confirmed in the be lief that the people possessed an in- fluence to save them, even after tried and convicted The people seem will ing to hang murderers without trial but not with careful trial and convic- tion. Every murderer that escapes, tends to jeopardize the lives of peacea- ble men. However hard ii may be fo- the murderer to be hung, the opera tion is mostly more decent and less painful than the death of the person or persons he killed. While the law inI Arizona says the penalty for murder inI the first degree shall be death by. hanging, let it be so executed; if theI
  people are opposed to the law, let themi bear with it little longer and repeal. it. Let us enforce our law in this. and compel bad men tO realize. that there is no escape from it by com. mutations and pardons, except wherein. developments clearly show. the conviction to have been for a higher grade of crime than the convicted party committed.
 Governors Stafford and Bashford both. deserve unqualified praise for their course in cases of men legally convict ed of brutal assassinations and mr- ders.
 Since tine above was put in type, we received dispatch saying Manuel Abi- les was hung in Prescott at II o'clock. yesterday forenoon.

EcOnOmizing Heat in Animals.

WE published last week short article
on the economy of heat in the human
BODY, subject which is worthy Of
special attention in cold weather. This
subject, in its application to animals, Is
taken I'D by a correspondent Of the Nelo
England Farmer, who justly crlticiSeS a
remark by a correspondent Of the C,UH-
try Gentleman, that rain does strong,
healthy sheep good" The farmer makes
out a clear case against the latter as fol
lows:
These long-wooled sheep Shear a
fleece which weighs all The WAY from SiX
TO sixteen pounds Now We have in No
Vember and December very cold rains,
succeeded by very low temperature.
The lightest clad Of these sheep will
have upon them at this season a fleece
which will weigh three pounds; now let
US imagine this fleece first saturated with
water and then frozen. Now bear in
mind that it takes 40 degrees of heat to
dissolve the ice thus formed on the wool,
and after 1t is thus converted into water
ii takes $50 degrees of heat TO convert
that water into vapOT, or mother words 10
dry it. Them again, consider that the
only source of heat is the food eaten by
the animal and burnt in its system
Then, again, consider this taking place
not only during the winter months, hut
in March and April, when the fleece is
double the weight II is IN the fall Now
remember this is exact science; the
amount of heat required for the purpose
described is always the same, though the
sources whence it is derived may differ
In the months of May, June, July, August
and September the sun aids in drying
the wool, but remember in these months
the fleece Is light. It is when the fleece
is the heaviest that nearly all the heat
for drying the fleece is absorbed from
the body; and remember the tempera-
ture of that body is to be kept up TO 9S
deg. 1t Is an exact science. and il re-
quires an exact amount of food to fur
niSh this heat; and il the food Is not
furnished the animal must fall back upon
its own resources, the fat accumulated
in its cells; or, if none is so stored, its
muscles must be Sacrinced or the animal
must die. ~. J. OJSercer.

Origin Of the COrOner's Inquest.

\ GENTLEwOMAN in London. after bury

seemed to pay no great compliment TO

he did return 10 appear as if intoxicated

/ that salt diminisheS the solvent qualities
of water so that more Of the soluble SUB

Replenishing the Soil,

II is one Of the principles Of good
farming that as much should be restored
TO the soil as is taken from it, The re-
turn cannot be made IN kind, of course ;
it would not do to restore the identical
crop of corn To the field from which il
had been gathered for this would leave
the farmer no profit for his labor. But
the return should be made in some cheap
matter that possesses all the elements
which the corn crop has drawn from the
soil. To crop field year after year, and
look for good yields from it, without
giving il the elements which the exhaust
i've process demands is ike consuming
not only the interest on sum Of mon
ey, but part of the principal as well
every year-Or. to use g hOmelier figure,
II is like expecting a hen to lay an egg
every dav when she Is not fed, or a COW
10 give milk that Is not fed Ii is not
more certain that hen or a COW viii die
that Is net fed than 1t Is that a soil
cropped year after year, without being
fed, will perish. The vast areas of
WORKOUT land in Virginia and some
other Eastern ~ ties, and the bald,
naked hill sides to be seen too
frequently in Missouri, bear wit
ness TO this truth. \ farmer
ought to regard his farm as his spermanent
fixed capital, whose annual interest
alone he may use, and whose inherent
poweIs he should maintain unimpaired,
and, If practicable. increase. year after
year by careful tillage. The cheap
matter 10 be used in maintaining these
productive powers Is manure and fertil-

4 Blind Girls Faith.

THE Paris correspondent of the New
York Times saws that not long ago the
CAPTAIN of one of our great ocean steam
ships found, just after passing Sandy
Hook, that he had young bind giT!
among his passengers Her whole APP
pearance showed him that there was
some mystery in the case, and he asked
her how she came 10 be there, in the
stcerage. alone. The young lady told
him her story. She was Miss Kane,
from New England, who had unfortu-
natcly lost her eyesight. She had heard
of the wonderful cures performed
through the agency OF Our Lady OF
Lourdes," and for many long, weary,
half-hupefuI halt-despairing months she
has been trying 10 raise the means for
taking the trip. At length she could
not bear TO wait any longer, and. unbe-
known 10 her parents, she had slipped
away To New York, where she had ar
rived with siXty-nine dollars. She had
taken the cheapest steerage fare, and felt
assured that God would help her on to the
Grotto of Lourdcs, and that she should,
by virtue of prayer and the intervention
Of Nolrc- Dame de Louders, be once
more restored TO sight The sailors
heart was touched by this simple story,
and had he been on shore he
would probably have given his purse
10 the girl on the spot. Her faith was
sublime. Her religious feryoT LETT no
shadow of suspicion respecting the pu-
rity of her motives or the truthfulness of
her intentions. The weather-beat
sailor brushed his fingers several times
across his eyes as he repeated the story
in his own rudcly eloquent way, and
every one was interested. There was a
French surgeon on board Who served in
the Federal army during the war, and he
and his wife went at once 10 look after
the girl. BY paying the supplement they
got her comfortable room in the second
cabin, and on landing brought her on
with them 10 Paris When leaving the
city the surgeon went to the Embassy to
solicit sympathy for Miss Kane. He
happened 10 fall upon some kindly
hearts who were there at the moment,
and they freely took the case in hand.
One went To see some members of the
Paris clergy; another opened subSCrip-
lion, putting himself down at the head
for handsome sum. This was Only
week ago. Miss Kane will 90 to Lourdes
and remain there as long as she pleases,
and then she will 20 comfortably home
with An American family. But mean
time the gentlemen interested in her have
sent her TO the best oCuliSt IN Paris, who
does not exclude all hope
