ArizOna's Capital.

Prescott, the capital city of Arizona,
our latest Ell Dorado, is situated in a
small valley or basin, surrounded on all
SIDES by mountains, and has a pic
turesque location. At the first glance
it strikes the tourist as being an extreme
ly home-like place, recalling many of the
features of New England or Western
New York village. The population is
now about 1000 and is increasing with
wonderful rapidity, as the fertile valleys
adjacent and the rich mining districts
round about are filling up. Most of the
houses are of brick and wood, two or
three stories in height, solidly construct
ed, and exhibiting good architectural
taste. There are few Mexicans and In
dians, and in consequence adobe struc-
lures are a novelty. The city is 155
miles east of the Colorado river, $50
miles northeast of Yuma, and about the
same distance northwest of Tucson, the
second city in the Territory. The center
of the city is large plaza, now square,
which is to be occupied by substantial
public buildings. All the churches in
Arizona are in Prescott, and besides the
Catholics, there are three Protestant
ministers there. The largest of the
seventeen public school houses in the
Territory, two-story brick, costing
500, 900, is in the city limits Yavapai
county, of which Prestcott is the county
seat, is not only the largest i'll area, but
the best populated of the five into which
Arizona is divided. Within its borders
are some of the finest settlements as well
as the most notable evidences of prenis-
toric life.

A Dangerous Wife to Joke With.

The Forth Worth (Texas) Democrat
says: Marshal Couftright, of this town.
thought of joking his wife. Arriving at
home at q late hour, he entered the front
gate, carefully closing it. Cautiously
cropping his way thither, what was his
surprise to see the right hand of his wife
lying on the sill of the window. On her
fingers she had two gold rings, one of
which he proceeded to take off, 1t be-
ing rather loose. he experienced but lit
tie trouble, and succeeded in the opera
tion without waking her up. The re-
naming ring was much tighter fit, and,
in his effort to extricate it, his wife awoke,
finding her hand grasped from without
by some one whom she at once concluded
was robber. Quickly pulling her hand
away, she was about to scream, but
thinking of convenient six-shooter
under her pillow, she again placed her
"jeweled hand |" on the sill, which was
grasped by the supposed burglar, and
with the other she quietly reached for
the pistol, and rising suddenly, brought
it to bear on her husband I; but for his
presence of mind in quickly calling her,
she would have shot him dead. Mrs.
Courtright displayed great presence OF
mind, fortitude and coura ye, and the
marshal should be proud of possessing
a wife so fearless and brave His narrow
escape has completely cured llm of any
further desire to play the role of mid
night robber.

pretty. The one 1 refer to is of that
delicate tint, little deeper and richer
than cream it might be called the
shadow OF fawn or wood color. This is
made over glistening silk of the same
shade, and is trimmed with knife plait-
ings and ribbon loops. A jacket of
fine plisses up the front is further orna-
mented by ribbon loops of the same tint.

THE EXPORT MEAT TRADE.

Rapid Increase in the shipments of Fresh
Beef and Mutton to Great Britain--
When and by Whom the RefriRerntiuR
Process was Introduced--The Exporta-
tion OF Live Stock.
[From the New York world.l
The expectation of fresh beef and NUT
ton in refrigerator compartments was be-
gun in,0ctober, 1876, by Mr.. 7. Eastman,
a director of the Sixteenth street stock
yard eompahy, and for the last fifteen
years prominent cattle broker of this
city. His first shipment was put on the
English market in prime order, but had
to be sold at low figures and at some
loss. Since then he has been shipping
dlmost constantly and regularly up to the
present time, using as many as thirty
nine refrigerator boxes, which cost up
wards of 100000. He lost three empty
boxes by the wreck of the steamer
Dakota, otherwise he has been fortunate
and generally successful. Following
Mr.. Eastman were the Samuels Brothers,
OF this city, and Martin, Fuller & Co. /,
OF Philadelphia and afterwards were
added iii the order hamed--Sherman &
dillett, Geo. Toffey & Sons, Morris Il
hhOioohy hohoWutu O mCOOUUNllle d1u
Stahlnecker d Co., Martin, Fuller & Co.,
and Morris & Allerton shipped from
Philadelphia, the Samuels Brothers
shipped mainly from this city, but were
interested in shipments from Montreal !;
the Others shipped exclusively from New
York. All use ice in large quantities,
and all, except the firms of Sherman &
Gillett and Morris & Allerton, keep the
meat cool by either forcing OF drawing
air through layers of block ice and thence
over and around the hanging meat. The
"craven process used by Sherman &
Gillett and by Morris & Allerton, cooled
the meat by means of pipes, through
which is forced by pumps mixture of
broken ice and salt.
The progress of the trade from its in
ception to April 1, 1877, is shown by the
subjoined official figures:

art of detecting counterfeit notes, with
reference to the recent statement OF
the Bankers Association Of New York
regarding counterfeit bank notes.
The writer, referring to the list COM
piled by the managers OF the Bankers
Association, says: "The list names
more than forty counterfeits, nineteen
of which never had an existence ex

counterfeits upon these denominations
have ever appeared. The following is
the list:
