"PITCHERINE" is a new stimulant,
for the discovery of which mankind is
indebted to the Australian aborigines.
1t is smoked and chewed, or applied in
a plaster behind the ears. According to
the quantity used it produces either
pleasant exhilaration or intense and
continuous excitement; like the cocoa
leaves of the South American Indian, it
invigorates and keeps up the strength
through periods of protracted exertion;
and in battle it supplies, when requisite,
the Dutch courage infused by brandy
and bhong.

A CURIOUS feature of the Indian raids
is the fact that railway tracks are rarely
torn up or telegraph wires cut. The
renegade Cheyennes have several times
crossed the Pacific roads recently, but
have not disturbed them. Thus far all
telegraph lines have also escaped dam
age from Indians. The first thing white
raiders do in an enemy's country is to
cut these great avenues of communica-
ton. The Indians, however, either from
superstition or ignorance, seem to stu
diously avoid interfering with them.

NEWELL NEPTUNE, governor of the
Passamaquoddy Indians, died at their
reservation near Princeton recently aged
seventy-eight. The Catholic burial SER
vice was read at his funeral, and every
thing pertaining to his Office was buried
with him, his flag and the cloak he wore
on state occasions being placed in his
coffin. Early on the morning after his
death the staff from which the flag bear.
ing his name had waved since he took
the oath of Office was cut down, chopped
up and burned over his grave.

MAxIMIIIAN's widow con tinues to re-
side at Tervueren, near Brussels. Her
first halucination was that an attempt
had been made to poison her in Mexico,
and that this design was still directed
against her, and she refused all food
which her sister-in-law, the queen
Of the Belgians, had not tasted.
None now zee her without the queens
permission, as q strange face produces
serious excitement. Sometimes she puts
on splendid dress, her rooms are bril-
liantly lighted, and she imagines herself
receiving guests, whom she addresses in
various languages, She has forgotten
her accomplishmentsin the way of music
and painting. Her brother and sister
in-law, the king and queen, have all
along treated her with the tenderest
s0licitude.

The Department of Agriculture amour ees that the climate and soil of Florida, Lower California and portions of Texas gre we'll adapted to the growth of the coffee plant. Great warmth of climate is not es- sential to its development. It thrives bet ter in regions where extremes of heat and cold are not experienced. In lower Cali fornIa and Florida wild coffee, with many characteristics of the cultivated plant. is very abundant. The iinportations of coffee into the United States during 1876 was nearly 340,000,000 pounds, at cost of nearly $57, ,000, ,000. It strikes us that, right here, in Arizona we have a climate adapted to the culture of coffee, superior to any DOT ton of Lower California or Florida. We know of experiments having been made in raising coffee in Salt River Valley which resulted very satisfactorily, and it would not surprise us Tn the least if, in the near future, the Valley of Salinas did sup ply the Territory with all the coffee required for home use and have plenty Jeff for our neighbors on the outside. There is hardly an article needed for home consumption but what can be raised in the fertile valley of the Salt Riverites.

ARIzos. TRADE COMING FROM THE
 FAST.

The San Francisco press is awakeniiig to
 the fact that that city cannot longer moropo- lize the trade of Arizona, d large portion oi which already finds its way so St. Louis. llTlle San Francisco Post IameIlts this fact a. Follows:
 4 ~Tile population of AFizons Is increasing, sts Haais and basiness. also. Mining de weiopmeats are growing, ii bat slowly. Eastern interests and enterprise already Foresee is growing impertapce. St Louis merchants have their agents even is far
 pest as Ynma itself Within few weeks
 Ee have known of gentleman whiting
 southern Arizona to examine its eapailii-
 ties, taking orders for what should be more
 Eeadily as specialities supplied from here
 Ry our own manufacturers. Large cembi-
 hatioas of Eastern capital are being organ
 Eed to control Arizona matters, and iD
 several instances companies incorporated
 here are to be reorganized with their head quarters in St. Louis. The press of that dity is already taking lively interest in tue development of the Territory. At least ope-haIf of il should be permanently rela- ted in business sensr to our own city. but tie probabilities are strong that San Fran cfeo will soon lose all. and thus t,e ob- lfged to remain always in secondary po- siti0n, 50 far as Arizona is coHcerned.''
 San Francisco has SD long enjoyed mo- h0poly of the trade of the Pacific Coast that she has come to regard itas matter of course, thing that she needs no longer bother herself about, and which is bound to find its way to her in spite of any action on her part In this she will fiGd, when too late, she is mistaken and will lcse, not only the trade of Arizona, but of inc southern part of California itself Tie city of San Francisco has always regarded herself as ihe State of California, and has sneered at the assumption on the part of othgr portions that they had any rights whatever. The legislature has always worked in her inter- est; monopolies having their headquarters in the metropolis, have been nurtured, whose whole aim was to crush all other places to build her up. To short, the Pa cific Coast has so long been held tributary to her that she at last awakes with surprise to the fact that there is an opening of escape from her oppression. She acknowl edges now that she has lost the trade of Ari- zona, and the day is not far distant when. unless Southern California is treated with more consideration than it has been in tho past, tEc business of that important section will be lost to her too. The building of tine railroad will put us in direct communica- ton with the East and render us independ- ent of San Francisco, a consummat,on that will be reached ere long--tSan Bernardino Times.

George Tyng of tho Sentinel, since times have grown dull in Yuma, seems to have nothing better to do than to sit and give play to rather fruitful imagination. Gen. Kautz appears to haunt him for some reason. unexplained, and when he falls into revery. or goes into clairvoyant state, he imagines Kautz has him by the weasand, and it is his only show for life to strike out blindly and wildly in all directions in hopes to be able to hit him somewhere. The Sentinel of the 16th. is bristling with insinuations, dark hints, irresponsible and incomprehenslblc suppositions and inuendoes that it would be as idle to attempt to refute as it was in the writer to make them.
 Gen. Kautz's record as soldier and as Commanner of the Department of Arizona, needs no bolstering mp, he stands unim- peacheG and unimpeachable, and hands the command over to Gen. Wilcox in far better condition than he found it, and that is say ing quite enough, for to improve on Gen. Crook, is even more than was expected of any Commander.

Bones, the Senator elected to fill the vacancy caused by the deathof Nathan Por- tor, of Alameda County, Cal, is an English man by birth, carpenter and builder by tiade, and is Radical in his politics. He is a member of the Methodist church, a rigid champion of total abstinence and of local option, and strong in his convictions on matters of faith or politics. Although a -sorkingman, he is likewise comparatively rich nj an, and rarely loses sight of the main chance.
