A New England Colony for Arizona.

A band OF $50 men arrived here yes
terday from Boston and took the first
train by the Pennsylvania Central road
on their way to Arizona. At the base
of the San Francisco mountain they in
tend to establish colony. Each man
takes provisions for ninety days, and his
personal outfit of tools and clothing to
a total prescribed weight of three hun
bred pounds, transportation for which
and for himself to the end of the long
journey is furnished by the Arizona
Colonization Company-a Boston con-
cern-at cost of $40 per man. At
the end of the railroad the colonists are
to be joined by the company's engi-
neer, Mr.. G. B. Maynadier, who went
ahead about a week ago to provide
transportation from that point. Mr.
Maynadier was the chief engineer of
Henry Meiggs's Andes Railroad in Perm,
and is said to be thoroughly acquainted
with Arizona
The part of the country in which the
proposed settlement is to be made is
said to be very rich in the precious
metals and at the same time very adj
vantageous for agriculturists. A COM
pany is forming in San Francisco, with
a capital of S1O,0OO,OO0, to work To-
Gated mining claims on the west side of
the mountains to which these cOlonists
are going. Within about thirty days
at least eighty more men with the fam
lilies of some of those who have already
gone will go from Boston to join this
New England colony, whose organiza-
ton was begun in August last by COM
pany of which Judge o. W. Cozzens is
President, j. NJ. Piper, Secretary, and
S. c. Hunt, Treasurer.-Ne1OY York Sun.

The Moon and the Weather.

The notion that the moon exerts an
influence on weather is so deeply rooted
that, Notwithstanding all the attacks
which have been made against it since
mtteorology has been seriously studied,
it continues to retain its hold upon us
And yet there never was a popular su-
prostitution mere utterly without ba-
sis than this one. If the moon did re-
ally possess any power over weather,
that power could only be exercised in
one of three ways-by reflection of the
suns rays, by attraction, or by emana-
ton. No other form of action is con
ceivable. Now, as the brightest light
of a full moon is never equal in intensi-
tyor quantity to that which is reflected
towards us by a white cloud on n sum-
mer day, it can scarcely be pretended
that weather is affected by such
cause. That the moon
does exert attraction on us is manifest
we see its working in the tides; but
though it can move water, it is most
unlikely that it can do the same to air.
for the specific gravity of the atmos-
phere is SO small that there is nothing
20 be attracted. Laplace calculated,
indeed, that the joint attraction of the
sun and moon together could not stir
the atmosphere at a quicker rate than
five miles a day. As for lunar emana-
lions, not a sign of them has ever been
discovered. The idea of an influence
produced by the phases of the moon is
therefore based on no recognizable
cause whatever. Furthermore, it is
now distinctly shown that no variations
at all really occur in
weather at the moment of
the changes of quarter, any more than
1t other ordinary times. Since the
establishment of meteorological stations
all over the earth, it has been proved |
ny millions of observations that there is |
no simultaneousness whatever between |
he supposed cause and the supposed |
effect. The whole story is fancy and |
a superstition which has been handed |
Town to us uncontrolled, and which we
have accepted as true because our fore
fathers believed it. The moon exercises
40 more influence on weather than her.

A Reporters Stratagem.

During the Presidential campaign
which preceded the war, while William
L. Yancey was on his way to attend the
Baltimore convention, he was invited to
address an agricultural fair at a small
town in F. County. He consented
to 60 out of his route for this purpose,
and as this would be his first speech
during the contest, every body was on
the qlti UiUe to hear his views on the
mighty questions then agitating the
country. The Baltimore newspapers
determined to furnish Uer6Gti01 reports,
and five stenographers were dispatched
by the morning train for F juno
ton, where they would meet another
train to take them to the Fair Grounds,
about six miles off. Four of the scribes
were thin men, but the fifth was Fall
staff. They had agreed in the cars to
take no unfair advantage of each other,
no matter what happened. When they
arrived at F Junction their dismay
may be imagined when they saw that
the connecting train had gone. Moth
ing was visible in the neighborhood but
an old-fashioned country cariole, in the
shafts of which stood lank, melancholy
horse. The four thin scribes. with a
shout, made simultaneous rush and got
into the wagon, filling it completely.
Poor Falstaff painted along, Harding the
earth and Tuning at the treachery, but
with mockery and derision they waved
him away and ordered the driver to pro-
coed. In the midst of his anguish a
thought struck our fat friend, and he
called to John to allow him seat on
the dashboard, offering him s. for the
accommodation. The countryman con,
sented, and stepped down to hoist him
up, 'Stop," whispered Fatty; "what
will you sell this nag for? III give you
S25 cash" The animal was not worth
half the money, and the bargain
was concluded without another
word. "Now," said Falstaff, "help
me on his back and take him out ofthe
traces" In two minutes more it was
done, and Fatty, putting spurs to his
steed, and with jolly laugh, rode off
at a gallop, leaving his amazed COM
panions to get to the Fair Grounds
as best they might on foot. Fatty
was the only Baltimore journalist on the
ground, and the next day his was the
only paper that had verbatim report
of Yancey's speech. He returned to the
junction after the proceedings were
over, sold back the horse to its
former owner for SO, and quietly
returned to Baltimore. His confreres,
who had passed a solemn and lonely
afternoon at the station, came back to
the city on the same train to receive the
congratulations of their respective ed
TORS on their marvellous enterprise

Beef Tea, and How to Prepare 1t.

First let us take that probably most
valuable of all invalid's preparations
viz, beef tea. The quickest and best
method of preparing good beef tea is
as follows: Take a pound of good lean
gravy beef, cut it up into little pieces,
pour over them a pint of cold water, and
add little salt. Then take fork and
squeeze these in every direction, in or
der, as much as possible, to extract the
juices out of the meat. Next place it
all. e., both water and meat-in an
enameled saucepan, and put it by the
side of the fire, not on the fire, and
gradually heat it, taking the greatest
care that it does not boil. Having con-
tinued this process for about an hour
and half or two hours, during the last
half-hour keeping the beef tea hot with
out even simmering, strain the whole
off Through strainer, pressing the meat
again with spoon, so as to squeeze as
much as possible all the goodness out
of it. Then remove all the fat. This
can be done by carefully Swimming it,
or, if time will allow, by letting it get
cold, when the fat will harden on the
top. Now to my mind good beef tea is one
of the things we can take when i'll, but
sick persons often tire of it, and loathe
it. When this is the case, very often by
adding little sherry, and allowing it
to get cold (when if properly made it
will be a jelly, patients will take it in
this form when they could not in the
liquid state.
