Superior Bravery and DevOtIOn Oi Women In she Yellow Fever
 Districts.

August % at midnight, the editor O
 the Memphis Avalanche, began ar
 editorial with the words, We ar,
 doomedr The whole of the articl,
 which ended with the names of hun
 dreds of victims, was written with (
 sadness that removed all doubts of it: sincerity. Its plainness of speech also shows that the situation demanded ar
 unusual line of criticism. The writer
 was disgusted with the actions of the men(D and did not fail to say so with spirit, though bowed down with sor row. Here are a few paragraphs from the article in question:
 There are women of pluck and un. surpassable devotion in Memphis who are daring everything for those they love. The faithless are of the other sex, of those whom the world in one of its greatest misnomers has dubbed |" the strongest sex" While John Don. oyan forsakes his wife and leaves his children to die in strangers hands ; while q son hies to Arkansas springs and leaves his mother and two brothers to be borne by other hands to the grave, in contrast shine out the faith. iulness of woman, as devoted mother, as patient, attentive wife, as liferisk- ing daughter, sister, friend. By the bedside of the burning body, inhaling the poison of the sick room, foul with that odor which tells the nature of the dreadful disease, performing service which noEe other will do, wearing d smile while the heart Is breaking and lifting up the head when in the last agony, her person is befoulded by the most repulsive and horrible of all sub- stance black vomit she sits and watches, and nurses and cares for her loved one till he lives again or passes beyond her aid. The penalty of her service of love is generally death.
 An old grandmother told Rev. Mir. Parsons not only of having nursed her grandson to his death, but in want of some one else to do it had, with her old hands, prepared him for the grave
 A child was stricken with fever on Alabama street. "GO," said the moth- CT 10 the father, ." shall never leave the boy, but you must not be endanger- ed" The coward complied. and saw from over the way a short coffin borne out of his home The mother is pay ing the price of her devotion, and by. tomorrow will herself pass to her last home
 A sick mans lady friend wrote: '' Please let me come" And when his friends thought the die was cast, they consented to his summoning her. Bold ly she laid aside her hat, pushed back her hair, and forcing smile on her lips, entered the room. Some of his male Friends stnOd outside on tine door steps ito inquire how the dear old boy is getting along"
 Instances come tO the writers mind faster than he can record them, in-l which are but a few of the many which have become like part of heaven in so much of earth's hell
 These are a few of hundreds.

THE San Francisco Chronicle of the 9th, has a leading article on an i'm pending Indian war" in Arizona. The only excuse that paper can have for such an injury tn this Territory, Is that it based lis article on statements of an Arizona paper It this time puts the Pima Indians on the verge of war and says they are a very brave and numerous people we'll armed It cites some wrongs done by the Pimas on neighborIng settlers and argues they indicate war. IL would have been more consistent and just as much to the point, if it had declared the recent murders of Adams and Finlay by Mex jeans, and the stage robberieS by them, Indicated an impending war with Me>- icO; or that the various stage robberieS and other crimes perpetrated by Amer ican outlaws down this way, had aroused a f, ar of civil war among the whites.

Arizona Orange

With the certainty of the advance at an early day, of the Southern Pa cific Railroad into Arizona, and the bringing of that Territory near to large markets, experiments are there being prosecuted m orange culture, and, the local journals announce, with success. It is claimed that the orange tree in that torrid cline grows in rich luxu- riance, and yields a richer and in eve " way better fruit than in Southern or Central California. In the Salt Riv- CT district especial success has been achieved in this line of fruit culture, and it is believed that in the southern part of the Territory there are a mil lion acres peculiarly adapted to the growth, such as the lands named, and those in the valley of San Pedro, San ta Cruz and Gila. Should these theo- ries prove correct, and every reason supports them, Arizona will become at an early day our source of SUD- ply largely for tropical fruits; for the orange, where it fiOuriShes in perfec- ton, is the indicator which points to the possibilities of tho soil for the gu ava, banana, mango, etc. Sacramento Bee.

For Wool Growers.

The use of chloride of potassium is recommended in Germany as means of increasing the growth of the wool in sheep The fact of the "vOlk of sheep containing large proportion of this chemical, led some German chem. ists to make experiments with a view of proving whether the supply of this material would promote ihe growth of wool: and the result has proved tbat, by administering chloride cf potas- sium in the proportion of one part Of chloride to nine parts of salt, the pro duction of wonl may be increased and its quality improved while the general health of ,he animals is at lhe same time benefited. Experiments are be: ing made in order to ascertain the proper quantity to administer

Gov. FremOnt's Coming.

] The San Francisco Stock Report notes Gov FremOnt's progress toward Arizona in a way not at all compli mentary. It may have a grievance, or only the editorial disposition 10 criti cize. Following is the mildest portion of the Stock Reports article:
 The progress of General Fremont across the continent on the way to Ar izOna partakes somewhat of the nature of triumphal tour. It is singular, but no matter how poor Fremont may become, or however humble position he may feel compelled by his necessi ties to accept, he never loses sight of one thing and that is the qualification of his vanity. General Fremont ought tO have travelled quietly to Arizona with his family and entered upon his duties and performed them in a mod est way, and let newspapers and news paper offices alone. And, by the way, he ought to have been at his post long ago. "
 So far as we have heard expressions of opinion by Arizona people regard ing their new Governor. they favor re. ceiving him kindly, and some favor demonstrations of welcome. This is the proper spirit If General Fremont makes a just and useful executive, the good people will be satisfied and cheer fully give him due support. Let him be received with becoming respect and dignity. If his acts as Governor are unwIse or unjust, let him be criti- cized for them and not for his peculi- arities.

Railroad Wanted.

A travelling correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin wrote from Tucson August 2S, and here is an ex. tract from his letter:
 "All along the road we have had the surveyors pegs for our cOmpan- ions as an earnest of the future. To this point (MaricOpa Wells) the lOca- tion is said 10 be completed, and it is even whispered that work may con- menCed in September Never did country worse want a railroad From Yuma 10 Maricopa is the only really trying portion of the journey, for t0 the eastward the country changes rap idly for the better, and all the impOr- tant points, north, south and east, can be reached over comparatively good roads. With the track 10 this point, all freight would be delivered twenty days in advance of the present sched ule time, and the teamsters' chances for heaven would rise 100 per cent.

Salt River Herald and Hassayamp- CTS.

Some ancient fossils-the Hassa
 yamper varieiy-must have stepped up
 on or knocked chip off the Herald
 man, as witness the annexed extracts
 from his leading article September II;
 But to all things there is a limit and an end. The first settlers of any new country are the ones who may first
 be served and who may first gather the worms and get possession of such val. ues as offer themselves, but there must necessarily be limit 10 their being served and to their getting. When considering other venturesOme and restless spirits as active competitors for the desirable possessions offered in the commercial, professional and political fields, there is foolish notion resting in the minds of the old settlers (the !" Hassayampcrs, as they are called in and about PrescotD that all new corners must, to a greater or less de- gree, defer to and comply with their accustomed ways of doing things, that they must follow in their wake, and walk in the ruts that they have worn deep and smooth.
 Ii d new conner possessed of pluck and capacity sufficient to justify him in branching out for himself in any new line of activity, which seemingly will infringe upon the fancied rights and privileges of the oldtimer, he must be assaiied and mathematical. In the field of politics the n~w man must move with the utmost degree of caution, or heI will be tripped up at once and heavily stepped upon after down. He must become acclimated before becoming so audaciOus as 10 dare to speak for or entertain an opinion upon public policy, etc, different from pre- yailing notions.
 The above statements are not design ed to be sweeping and to encompass all old timers. The application can be made only to that class of narrow liltle-souled old fOgies whol are not possessed of sufficient foresight and sense to comprehend theI - signs of the times " which unerring- Iy point to a revolution in and changeI of control of the affairs of this Terri tory in all it's activities.

Fresh Encouragement to Crime Near
 the Border.

Sheriff Shibell, of Pima county. Ina.
 recently received a communication from Gov. Mariscal, of Sonora, stating in substance that thereafter Mexican citizens charged with crime commit
 ted in Arizona, found in Sonora, and
 whose extradition was demanded on
 acquisitions. would not be surrendered
 without authority from the Supreme
 government; but that he would do all he could to assist in having American
 citizens who are escaped criminals re.
 turned. This was the policy of Ex. Governor Pesquiera, and our readers
 need not be reminded of the bloody deeds then committed in Arizona, for which nobody was punished When Gov. Mariscal came into office, he manifested a purpose to surrender criminals without regard to nationali- ty, believing 1t the better way to pre- serve peace. Perhaps he has been in- structed to act in accordance with his advice to Sheriff Shlbell. The Mex ican Supreme government has always held to the policy now announced by Gov. Mariscal, and the treaty on the subject Is construed as justifying their position.
 The announcement of this policy is especially bad at this time, when citi- zens of Sonora have resumed murder and highway robbery in Arizona What would Gov. Mariscal and the Supreme government of Mexico think if lot of American murde7ers and highway robbers were to turn loose in their work of death and destruction in Sonora, and be tod officially by Gov. HOyt that he would not surrender them for trial and punishment, and at the same time take no steps to punish them here! They justly complained of the United States giving an asylum to Apache Indians VITO depredated upon them, and they surely would look with no more favor on the policy indicated and now announced by themselves.
 The great overland stage and mail route extends through Arizona, within twenty 10 forty hours travel of the So- nora line. Gov Mariscal does not want to encourage crime, but the policy he announces will encourage it. If secu- rity to life and property on and near the border ever prevails, it only will when the authorities on either side of the line resolutely determine to put forth their best energies to punish criminals, regardless of national allie glance. They must ignore distinctions of citizenship, and hold a murderer to be murderer and nothing less, and a thief nothing but thief, and eudeav or to punish them accordingly.

Dlsinfecting Foul Places.

The Scientific News calls attention to the importance of getting rid of vii, smells about dwellings, aud make; this practical suggestion: The ar ticle commonly used to disinfect fou places Is chloride of lime, but in real ity it IS not of much vsue It may and generally does, remove bad smells but the cause still remains, as the chlo ride simply destroys the gaseous em anations. One of the very best known dislnfectants is old fashioned copper as, or sulphate of iron. which can be had very cheap A barrel of cOpperas would weigh probably 300 pounds, and can be purchased at wholesale price for cent and s-half per pound. A couple of handsful of cOpperas thrown into a bucket of water will soon dis solve, and it can then be used freely and is a valuable disinfectant.

THE Commissioner of the Land or fee in Washington has recently given an interpretation tO the Congressional Mining Law which seems to be in ac- cordance both with technical justice and plain common sense. A mining claim is forfeited whenever the assess ment year is so nearly gone that the requisite work cannot possibly be done in time, and possession is not resumed until the locator fully complies with the law in these respects. A relocatOr who takes possession before the lOca- tors year expires, cannot be busted by the latter while holding in conflict with the law. The only safe plan, therefore, is to make sure that a full hundred dollars worth of work has been put upon a claim in time to pre- vent any risk of future trouble.

ON the 3d instant Secretary SchurZ decided to not reverse his decision re- gently made declaring lands donated lon conditions) to certain railways open for preemption at the rate of S1 9 per acre. This action was had on an appli, -tion of the roads concerned for a reversal. 70 Supreme Court only can annul the oecretary's decision. The Secretary says it has been from the earliest history of this Government one of the most important and benefi- cent principles governing its land pol icy not to favor the creation of large landed estates.
