People about the Quirinal are
looking very grave, l learn, and
shake their heads Ominously con-
cerning the health of the Italian
King. A Roman friend writes me:
"He looks exceedingly pale, and,
to my eye, attenuated. His chest
is affected, and in order to keep up
he lives according to a very strict
dietary. The visits of the doctors
are too frequent to be re.assuring.
But Humbert will work. He de-
votes portion of his time daily to
the investigation of the financial
affairs of his father, who has left a
troublesome crop of unpleasant
monetary claims behind him. A
special secretary attends to the
business. Knowing very we'll that
Humbert is averse to any public
scandals, the Roman tradesmen are
exorbitant in their claims for lux
uries supplied to the ladies of the
late kings establishment. The
ladies refuse to pay, on the plea
that the debts belong to the dead
king, and in some instances the
bills have only been settled when
initiatory proceedings have been
commenced in the courts.u Con-
sidering that the affairs Of no less
than eighteen domestic establish
ments have to be settled, TIMBER

While here and there valley may
be encountered which could be
made rich by irrigation, and at
other points there are prosperous
agricultural settlements, such as
those of the Salt River and Giia

land reflects the blistering rays OF
the sun with maddening intensity,
and the tramp who gets into the
heart of one of these deserts Is as
like as not to leave his bones to
bleach there. Arizona is the most
inviting place we know of just now
for persons of capital and energy;
but, for the tramp, it is the last re-
source on earth. The delights of
laziness and vagabondage would
vanish in region in some parts of
which it is iokingly said that when
you put down your hand you grasp
either a rattlesnake or piece of
prickly cactus. If tramps were
miners, industrious and a little
ahead with this worlds goods, we
would cbeerfully advise them to
HE them to Arizona. There they
would find innumerable .Iodes OF
the precious metals which only
await development. But as tramps
are deficient in all these, they
should stay where they are.

in California during the year was
