RAILROADS

Since the last session ol the Legisla- ture considerable progress has been
 made in the building of railroads to-
 wards our Territory. It is now conf dently expected that the Southern Pa .citic railroad will be completed from
 San Francisco to Yuma by March 1st of the present year It is contemplated
 by this company to diveige at some
 point uu the desert and build line to a point on the Colorado river at or
 near the Needles and then tO push for
 ward the construction of both of these
 lines as fast as circumstances will per
 mit; thus atfOrding two lines of rail
 road and accommodating the fast grow ing trade of northern and central Ari- ZOna and also of southern Arizona and
 Sonora, and, when completed to the
 SeabOaTd on the Atlantic coast. afford
 ing communication across the cOnti- nent over easy grades below the snow
 line. The Texas Pacific railroad com
 pany have bill before Congress ask ing a guarantee from the government
 for the payment of the interest of their
 bonds tO complete that road. and, no doubt if said bill is passed the com pany will push its road to completion
 through Arizona as speedily as possi-
 ble But, m any event, the outlook is now encouraging for the construction
 of at least one railroad through ArIzO- na at an early day. The effect this
 will have upon the development of cur resources and the stimulation of trade will be magical. Capital will flow into
 the country without siin' cheap con- munication and transit will afford fa- cilities for developing with profit our immense mining interests, the stock raisers, with abundant ranges where the snow never falls, will find ready sale for their beef and mutton tn supply the markets of New York or San Fran cisco, and the Territory, which will soon become a State, will awake from lethargy to life and prosperity To ac-I COmpliSh these results as speedily asI possible 1t will be your duty to render all possible assistance and encouragement to any and all railroads seeking 10.

 Considering our extended frontier bordering on the State of Sonora. we have been fortunate in exemption from crrme and violence during the last two years Very little trouble has been eX- perienced from the Expectations of outlaws who, in years past, lowered near the border tO commit crime and then escape across the line into Mexico for security. A decided and severe policy iS the only one that will keep this class of criminals in check, and this 1 have adopted and endeavOred Go carry out.
 The Legislature has at each session, placed at my disposal $2000 tO be used for rewards in arresting and punishIng criminals. l have never found it nee essary to use the full amount SD placed, but the increase of business and cOnse- quent increased transmission of money through the mails and by express com panies will naturally attract the cupidi- ty of highway robbers Co this Territory from other sections, and ] deem it prudent precaution to increase the Jp- propriatiOn set apart for rewards. If the money is not needed it will not be used, and if needed it cannot be apprO- priased Co better purpose I am de- sirOuS. if these tiends undertake Go ply their nefariOus vocation m Arizona, that they shall learn that those who for years braved @ savage war with the Apachcs will be found equal to the contest and ready with a firm, unre- lenting hand tO put down a worse scourge to the human race.
 The ApacheS were wild men without education or opportunities and there fore deserving of some sympathy, but these hignwaymen have had the advau- tagcs of Christian education and assO citation, and the same energy they dis play Co obtain the property of others ifI devoted tO legitimate pursuits would enable them Co lead honorable and respectable lives. While pursuing the. vocation of theft and robbery they are' a scOurge tO civilization, a disgrace tO. humanity. and should be swept from the face of the earth as rcmorSelessly as the most ferOciOus wild beast would recommend that highway rob bery be made a capital off-n,e punish able with death.

SCHENCK's SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent Preparations reduce bodily energy, par
tlcularly ttAse suffering from the effects OF debla
ting diseases. In order to keep a natural healthu
activity of the system we must resort to artificial
means. For this purpose Schencks Sea Weed
Tonic is very efiectua A few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vgor to the enervated body.
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whe, her dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are general
ly employed for the purpose The Sea Weed Tonic
in Its nature is totally different from such drugs.
1t contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact
it assists the regular operations Of nature, and sup
plies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so
much resembles the gastric juice that 1t is almost
identical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the
natural solvent which, in healthy condition Of the
body, causes the food to be digested; and when
this juice is not eXcreted is sufficient quantities, in
digestion, with all its distressing symptoms, fol
lows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty Of
the gastric juice when the latter is efficient

AN ALLIGATOR FIGHr.-The New York
aquarium has had twelve alligators. two
of them huge fellows fourteen feet long.
When they arrived, Zone day last winter),
they were so torpid with cold, that they
appeared to be dead.
To make sure of their condition, MIR.
Bishop, one of the attendants, quietly
descended the ladder, and walking to the
center of the tank, seized the big alligator
by the tail. Scarcely had he done so
than most exciting scene ensued. The
dormant reptile at once raised his ugly
head, and, opening his mouth snarled like
an infatuated bull dog, The sound had a
wonderful effect on the whole group, and
then ensucd battle. Mr.. Coop, seeing that
one of the eight feet alligators was about
to seize Mr.. Bishops foot, called out to him
and ordered him to leave the tank. lie
complied rather unwillingly, for it was
evident that trouble was ahead.
The alligator who had been deeme dead
became very lively, and dashed his tail in
vengeful mood. Happening to strike one
of the nne.feet gentlemen, the latter was
enraged, and swinging round like light
ming, and with a fierce snarl, he sought Is
sue with his old antagonist. Both the rep
tiles closed, their jaws interlapped, ant
the struggle that ensued was fearful one
Two OF the smaller ones followed suit
and began fighting on their own hook
Blood flowed from the jaws of the tw'
larger ones, and Il general commotion was
j. observable among the whole lot.
The visitors gathered round the tank
and viewed the battle with deep interest
All fouro the combatants were evidently
l.. warmed up to their work land their contol
tions were irghtful. Finally, Prof But
# Ter decided to have stream of cold Gro
c ton water thrown on the fighting alliga
tors.
This acted like II charm, for the sudde
dash of cold water was evidently distastt
d full to the brutes, rs their jaws relaxed an
s. they separated. But it was only for a me-
ment, for scarcely had the hose been take
down before the largest pair began figh
y, ING again. This time water had no etfec
~ and as one of the alIigators had seized hi
~ antagonist by the fore foot and W;
IS slowly tearing it off, more desperate c
m forts were deemed necessary. Mr.. Bisl
4 op accordingly rc-Gntered the tank, arme
with long iron crowhar.
II. Cautiously pushing aside two or three
W the smaller ones, he made his way to Il
y enclosure, and, by main force, pred ope
the monsters jaws, thus releasing Il
wounded one, Who was glad enough
III swing himself clear of all danger.
