Dr. Afford, Dean of Canterbury, says l:
 "Avoid in conversation all singularity of accuracy. One of the bores of society is the talker who is always setting you right; who, when you report from the paper that 10000 men fell in some battle, tells you it was 9,970; who, when you describe your walk as two miles out and back, assures you it wanted half furlong of it. Truth does not consist in minute accuracy of detail, but in conveying right impress s1on; and there are vague ways of speak ing that are truer than strict fact would be. When the Psalmist said Rivers of waters run down mine eyes because men keep not Thy law he did not state the act, but he stated truth deeper than fact and truer. Talk. as sensible people talk; use the easiest words in their commonest meaning. Let the sense conveyed, not the vehicle in which 1t is conveyed, be your object of attention" X.

And now lots of fellows around Philadelphia are hin,ing that if given a chance they will do the same thing. and il Is liable to degenerate into common practice.

A disintcres;ed government officer, who had lately been to Prescott and had been kindly received and enter lained while there, and feels kindly disposed, remarked in our hearing the other day that Prescott was one of the deadest places he had ever seen on Gods footStool. That the pc, pie stand up bravely aud present a fair outside. but the whole place and its business IS the veriest shell. He said they were threatened with a dry season, ani if it comes God help the poor man who Is fastened there.
 We are very sorry 10 learn this. However wicked and interruptions some of the politicians of Prescott may be, there are many poor and in du-trious people more or less con- nected with that vicinity and we are pained to learn of this bad prospect. Southern Arizona has been blessed with abundance of rain. thousands of new acres have been and are being planted, the approach of lhe railroad and pros perity IS sending scores every week to our mines and valleys and in our abund ance we ply and sympathize with Prescott. May the early and the latter rains come down yeJ upon them, for If they get dry season now, we fear it will virtually ruin that section. But under the circumstances it would be better for settlers in Northern Arizona to stop on tue Little Colorado where water can be obtained for irrigation. Around Prescott every other season about is a dry one, there is no waler whatever for irrigation and in dry season farm becomes an uainhaJitable desert
