To THE FOREMAN OF THE GRAND
 Jury of Maricopa county, Territory
 of Arizona-October Term SR--Your committee appointed to examine into the manner of expendi- ture of money appropriated by the last session of the legislature, in the building of wagon roads in our coun- ty, beg leave to submit the following report of their examination:
 We find the county was authorized to issue bonds, running for a period of five years and bearing interest at the rate of ten per cent per annum, to the amount of S15,00O, to be expend- ed as follows: Fifteen hundred dol lars to build or improve the road from Ph.aiX to Wickenburg; fifteen hun dred dollars to improve the road from Phenix to Black Canyon, or Swill- ing's ranch; fifteen hundred dollars to build 8 road to Agua Calienta, or StanwiX station on the Yuma and Tucson road, and ten thousand five hundred doll ITS to build a road from Phenix 10 Globe City.
 Messrs. John Smith, c. T. Hayden, and Jerome P. Barton were named in the act as passed, as the commission CTS under whose supervision this ex- penditure of public money should be made. C. T. Hayden having failed to qualify or give bonds, 4Ir. Win chester Miller was chosen by the hon orable board of supervisors of our county to act in his place, on the part of the county.
 We find that Col King s. Woolsey made a proposition to the board of commissioners to build q good wagon road from Phenix to Agua Calienta. or S;anwix station, for fifteen hun dred dollars, in bonds, which proposi- tion was accepted by the commission CTS; that Jerome B. Barton was ap- pointed by the commissioners as a committee of one to examine the road, when reported completed; that l he so examined the same and report ed it as completed according to agree. ment, and that thereupon bonds to the amount of seven hundred and fifty dollars were issued to Col. Woolscy for the same, Seven hundred and fifty dollars having been paid in advance when work was commenccd.)
 ! From all the evidence adduced i appears that no contracts have beer made or entered into, or bonds requir ed, by any of the parties doing lh,
 work. In this case it does appear that no opportunity was offered th, public to compete with Col. WooIscy { or any one else; in short, that partial $ fly was shown him, as it does not ap [ pear that any other proposition wa
 received for the building of the road or that proposals were invited.

To TEE FOREMAN OF THE GRAND JURY:-
 We, the committee appointed by the foreman of the grand jury to view and report on the condition of public buildings, have the honor to submit the following report:-
 We, the committee, do report that we find the court room and offices in good repair except the joists over the court room and county recorders of flee, which we find in a swaggiug condition and would recommend that they be strengthened before more dirt shall be placed upon them. -
 The jail we find in filthy condi- ton, which cannot be avoided consid- ering the present condition of its i'm provcments, and would recommend that the cells be enclosed with lumber in a manner, if necessary, that the boxing can be removed during hot weather; also, that the prison privy bc improved, first, by excavating the sink to a depth of al least ten feet, and by surrounding said sink by or with an adobe wall six by nine feet square and extending upward 10 the full night of the court wall. Also, that there be constructed for the use of prisoners a tube, sluice, or sewer for the purpose oi conveying urine and other water from the prison cells in- to the sink.
 The plastering and pcncil work on front ofthe court house we found to be executed in q neat and substantial manner. The sluice in front of the court honse is also well and neatly constructed.
 We found the occupants of the va rious offices gcntlcmanly in their de- pertinent and and willing to impart any information asked for by this committee We also found the off cef in charge of the prison to be gen tlcmanly in his department, accom-. modating and ready to impart to this committee any information, also ac- commodating and gcntlcmanly to- ward the prisoners.

to examine the county offices have the honor to make the following report:
 We have carefully examined ali the public offices, except the justices of the peace, for which a special com mittce was appointed.
 In the shcriir's office we find the books and accounts well kept. We would say in regard to the collection of poll taxes, that in the year 1876, when it was made the test of a qual- ification Of voters, there were five hun drcd and eleven dollars and fifty cents. That in the year 1871, according to the records there was less than one third oi the poll taxes collected, and the present year there has been col lcctcd but sixty-nine dollars up to date. Your committee is satisfied that the sheriff has exercised the proper diligence in collecting these taxes but there seems to be a defect in the law. As it now stands it does not au- thorizc the sheriff to forcibly collect the poll tax until after the third Mon day in December. We would recom- mend that this grand jury recommend to our next legislature that some amendment be made to the law for the collection of these taxes.
 TTe have carefully examined the books and accounts of the county treasurer, counted the public monies and find ail the amounts correct We also find that the county has no safe depository for the public monies or records, and we would most earnestly recommend that a safe of sufficient capacity for the same be purchased.
 In the district attorneys office we find a well kcptrecord of all business transacted and we are satisfied that the district attorney has used all the means at his command for the collection of delinquent taxes, and has been faithful in the discharge of his duties.
 In the office of the probate judge, and ex-onicio superintendent oi schools we find that the recorls ofthc probate court are well and truly kept and that the school fund has been : properly accounted for.
 In the recorders office we find all the books and records of the office kept in 6 neat and legiJle manner and that the general business of the office has been properly conducted. Your committee are of the opinion that considerable saving can be made to the county in the matter ot boarding prisoners, and of medic'l attendance, and we wo-ld recon mend that the board of supervisor. look into the matter and make sucf better terms for the treatment of tn; indigcnt sick and boarding of the prisoners as they may be able to.
 In the public administrators 'sofficC VIC find no hook of record kept of tn, business transacted. In the opinior of your committee we find estates that could have been closed q yea since remain unsettled, and we would recommend that all such estates bt closed without unnecessary delay arc the proceeds turned over to the prop CT persons. We would also recon mend that a book of records be kep in his office. Very Respectfully,
 L. K. BUKER, Chairman.

 Court Of IzaricOpG County.

HoN. DEFoREsT PORTER, Judge Sec
 ond Judicial District, County of
 Maricopa, Territory of Arizona
 October Term:-
 Sm-Your gran jury beg leave to submit the following report of their labOrs:
 We have examined all criminal matters brought before us.
 We have found one true bill for murder.
 One true bill for rape.
 One true bill for manslaughter
 One true bill for assault, with at tempt to commitmurder, and we have ! ignored one bill.
 TEe above concludes all criminal matters brought before us. It having been brought to the knowledge Of the grand jury that fe- males, arrested for misdemeanors, have been confined in our county jail in the same cell with male prisoners, the grand jury can not too strongly condemn such practice, and demand that hereafter the sheriff OF his sub ordiuates refrain from repeating the ofrcnse.
 The grand jury desire to call inc attention of the court, and the people of the county, to the deplorabIe con dition of our roads, and request the proper authorities to take such action as may he necessary to put them in good repair. In this connection, We will state that committee was ap- pointed to examine into the expendi- ture of public money appropriated by the last legislature for the building of certain roads in our county, the re- port of that committee having been adopted by the grand jury, is append cd hereto and made part of this re- port. The report of the committee on county offices, having been adopted by the grand jury, is also hereby ap- pended and made part of this report. The report of the committee on pub lie buildings having been adopted by the grand jury, is also appended, and made part of this report, as is also the report of the committee appointed by the grand jury to report upon the depredat;ons committed by Indians belonging to the Pima and Maricopa reservation.
 The committee appointed to report upon the justices offices report them kept in a neat and orderly manner.
 In making this our final report we would state that we have been some what delayed in our work, in getting witnesses before us; we have also been delayed by our several commit tees who have made thorough ex- animation of our county affairs, which we thought necessary at this time. Respectfully,
 NJ. II. CAIDERwooD, Foreman.

The Language of the Cloves.

The English girls have improved
upon the language of the fan and the
handkerchief by devising a very CO.
pious vocabulary of the gloves, which,
for the benefit of American women.
we beg to pirate" from an English
contemporary. 1t runs thus:
Drop glove-Yes.
Crumple the gloves in the right
hand-No.
Half unglove the left hand-Indif-
ference.
Tap the left shoulder with the
gloves-Follow me.
Tap the chin with the gloves-I
love you no longer.
Turn the gloves inside out-I hate
youl
Fold the gloves neatly-I should
like to be with you.
Put on the left glove, leaving the
thumb uncovered-Do you love me?
Drop both gloves-I love you.
Twirl the gloves around the fin
gers-Be careful; we are watched.
Slap the back of the hand with the
gloves-I am vexed.
Take glove in each hand and sep
arate the hands, am furious.

ANY child that has the ability TO
work the pedal Of sewing machine
can prodrcc ail tie music, with the
AID OF the instrument in question, that
can bc rendered by the most skilled of
professional perfurmers. The iustru.
ment is called the 'Needham Musical
Cabinet, aud when it is closed resem-
bles an ordinary parlor organ. The
register consists of reed action and
bellows similar to the ordinary organ.
but somewhat smaller. The register
consists of 80 reeds, but has no finger
board. Rolls Of perforated paper,
about Is inches wide, properly placed
in position, suffice to shut off all the
notes except those which are to be
sounded, hence any tune can be played
before it is ready for repetition The
mechanism of the instrument is sucI
that the work of rerolling can be &C.
