WHY THERE IS NO RAIN IN PFRU-In
 Peru, South America, rain is unknown
 The coast of Peru is within the region of perpetual southeast trade winds, and
 lhough tke Peruv en shores are on the
 verge of the great southeast boiler, yet it never rains there. The reason is plain. The southeast trade winds in the Atlantic ocean first strike the water on the coast of Africa. Travelling to the northwest they blow obliquely across the ocean until they reach the coast of Brazil. By this time they are laden with vapor, which they continue to bear along across the continent, depositing it as they go, and supplying with it the sources of the Rio de Ia Plata and the southern tributaries of the Amazon Finally tn y each the snow capped Andes; here is wrung from them the last particular of moisture that a very low temperature can attract Reaching the summit of that range they HOW tumble down as cold and dry winds on the Pacific slope beyond. Meeting with nc evaporat- ing surface and no temperature colder than that to which they were subject OF the mountain tops, they reach the ocean. Thus we see how the tops of the Andes be- come the reservoir from which are sup piled the rivers of Chile and Peru.

 soned arrow or the treacherous
 bullet.
 The society of Arizona is good, especially in the leading cities. At Yuma there are more or less boisterous characters, but the records show pretty fair absence of desperate crimes. Prescott is the model frontier settlement of the United States. It reminds one of a quiet village in New England (with some few excep- tiOns) more tEar it does a polyglot settlement upon the "verge of civilization" It has none, or at least very little, of the man-be- fore-breakfast" style, which prevails to such an alarming ex- tent in Wyoming and Montana. Tuscon, too, has greatly improved in this respect, and, with a much larger population to-day than it had ten years ago, it has fewer braWls and murders, Each of these cities, I would add, have newspapers and schools, those great levers of morality, intelli~ gence and good society; and each, at least, has one "littIe church the corner" B. c.

1ldNC SOluC uISlI lICSoCd IJ1lS l HI : after a two CT three days tri1
 upon a blackboard through thi
 Territory, inquire "Why the Gov
 ernment didn't let the Indian
 have it?" (the Territory, not th'
 buckboard), and other interroga
 tories of like character. The
 tenor of such an ejaculation would
 enormously elicit the conclusion
 that this star in our constellation
 of States and Territories was only
 a painted gem-an Arizona dia-
 mond," so to speak. This cOnclu-
 sion must not be entertained.
 Indeed, Arizona is a marvel of beautiful study. It is to me like
 a novel, where the good and the
 bad are blended in a sOnOTOus and
 rapturous manner; and, like a fas-
 cinating chapter or lesser part of
 said fiction, one likes to dwell
 upon the delightful portions and skip the dreary passages thereof. There are even pages of Bulwer's "Last Days of Pompeii" |" which I always skip, just as I would prefer to do Arizona without her eXecra- ble blackboard.
 The tract of land purchased from the Mexican Government by Mir. Gadsden, under the treaty of De- cember 30, 1853, and originally called Arizona, formed a part of Sonora. It was 460 miles in length, about 130 miles in width, and contained 10000 square miles, or nearly 26,OOO,OOO acres. The present Territory of Arizona em- braces all of that purchase, except what lies to the east of the 109th degree of longitude, and also portion of northwestern New Mexico, sufficient to constitute section of country of 120,9 ,912 square miles, or 77,983, ,68O acres.
 Until the last session of the Thirty seventh Congress Arizona was embraced within and under the laws of New Mexico, although efforts had been made for a organization. Senator GWin, of this State, as Senator in Congress, on the 17th of Decem- Der, 1857, offered a bill making @ separate organization, but it was defeated. On the Sd of April, 1860, Senator Green, of Wiscon- sin, made several efforts to secure what MT. Gwin failed to get, and his bill was also defeated.
 Again, during the Thirty-sixth Congress energetic efforts were made, and at the second session of the Thirty-seventh Congress, on .he 8th of May, 1862, the organic Act under which the organization las been perfected was passed by he House of Representatives. At the third session of that Con- yress the Senate, on the 20th of February, 1863, passed the Act, md it received the approval of President Lincoln a few days liter.
 In March, 1863, the President made the following appointments If officers for the Territory, as for in the Act, namely: Governor, John A. Gurley, of )hio; Secretary, Richard c. Me }ormick, of New York; Chief , -ustice, John H. Goodwin, of { Iaine; Associate Justice, William ]. Howell, of Michigan; Joseph }. Allyn, of Connecticut; District z John Titus, of Penn ' Marshal, Milton B. { )ufield, of California; Superin ! endent of Indian Affairs, Charles . ) Poston, of Kentucky. These ', ppoirtments were all confirmed : " the Senate in extra session.
 It is generally understood that s Prescott was the first capital of 1 1rIzona. Technically and really his is not So. Tn fact, the gov

 mally inaugurated at "Navaj Springs" forty miles west (
 Zuni, on the 29th Of Decembel
 1863. Here it was that GOodWi
 (who had been made Governo
 upon the death of Gurley) issue'
 his proclamation; McCOrmic1
 made @ speech, and hoisted tn
 Stars and Stripes; Rev. H. w
 Reed made a prayer; a salute o
 fifteen guns was fired from tWC
 anvils, and the crowd sang tht
 "Battle Cry Of Freedom" Sub
 sequently, the seat of governmen
 was erected at or near what i,
 now Prescott. \ I/Another fact not generally known is that the Prescott Miner is some months older than the
 town itself, having been estab-
 lished at the first site of Fort
 Whiprle, twenty-three miles
 north of Prescott. And again,
 the old office of the Miner was the first building erected in Pres colt. And still again, the Miner put up the first brick building in the Territory. These are pleasant "reminiscences.
 It is estimated by those with whom I have conversed, and who, from observation and so forth, know what they are talking about, that three -fifths of the Ter ritory is composed of mountains, one-fifth of sandy, sterile deserts, and one-fEth Cf arabic lands. This is a pretty fair estimate, although the latter is being increased through systems of irrigation; be- sides, at least one-tenth of the ranges are good pasto- ral lands. and more than one- tenth are well timbered. The metallif9rous region may be sum- med up as containing nearly 19,- GOO square miles, or 12,16O.0OO acres. This large area contains every description of metals known to exist among primitive rocks, and in such abundance, at least so far as surface indications go, as to be beyond comprehension.
 The main rivers of Arizona are the Colorado of the West, the Gila, Ia branch or the Colorado,) and it's branches, the Bio Verde, Salinas, or Salt river, and the San Pedro. Then there are the Flax liver, or Little Colorado, the Will jams rlver and the Francisco. Then there are a multiplicity of | water courses, many of which during wet seasons assume vast proportions. These are tke Iassayampa, Agua Fria, Turkey 1reek, Santa Cruz, Walnut Creek, md others. The Colorado river 5 the only navigabIe stream, and s ascended by steamboats as far $ Mohave at almost all times of he year.
 The climate in northern Ari- ona during the winter months 5 something like that of Mary and and Virginia during the anne period. The summer weather of northern Arizona is realty like that of Southern Cal fornia during the same time.
 While Arizona is certainly not 1 n agricultural section, and falls ( IT short of being a grazing coun- ( ry, yet there are large areas of as ne farming country in Arizona |; 5 may be found in the world, 1 specially in Southern Arizona $ nd along the banks of the Gila, { verde and Salinas rivers. Then I lere are valleys, like the Kirk md, Skull, Antelope and others, 2 9veral miles in length in some laces, scattered here and there mOng the severest, rOckiest and ( reariest of mountains.

ness, if you please" (Lord Bea-
consfeld is the only diplomatist at
Berlin at the present moment who
never speaks French.) A valet
brings the prince'splate strewn with
the remnants of his dessert. Lord
Beacons6eld overturns it on the
table cloth. All eyes are fixed
upon him. With his long fingers,
bOny, agile, covered with precious
rings, he begins to assort and ar
range what at first resembles child's
play more than an occupation
worthy of one of the leading men
of State. He places the stones in
a line on the cloth, then opposite
each stone he places a cherry stem,
