Prnirie Fires.

We notice by advises from Iowa, Ne braska and Kansas that great and des- tructive prairie fires have been raging in each of those states. Grain, bridges, barns, fences, &c. have been swept before them. The amount of property destroyed annually by prairie and for est fires is much larger than the casual observer would imagine, and if this fiery consuming element could be con, trolled the value of property saved would soon equal the national debt
 We made some mention last week of the forest fires raging in adjacent mountain ranges. The country about us is now in great danger of prairie fires, which though they could not des- troy as much personal property in our Territory and has been the case in the above mentioned states, would never theless destroy thousands of acres of excellent grass and hay and leave our stock men in precarious condition. The abundant rains this year have caused a prolific growth of grass which is now mature and in most excellent condition to feed the greedy flames of wild fire. Every traveller in Arizona should exercise great caution in order that these destructive fires may be avoided if possible, for if once started in the rank growth they would rapidly spread oyer unusually large sections.

Southern Pacifc RniLrond.

Nothing in the railroad system of the United States is of more importance to-day, prospectively, than this road winch is reaching down to the borders of Mexico. When the road IS extend ed 300 miles further it will command the trade of the northern States of Mexico. Tucson is but a short dis. tance from the Mexican line A year hence, in all probability, the gap be- tween the Southern Pacific Railroad, if extended as now contemplated, and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, will hardly be more than 400

Sheridan Twenty Miles Away.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean devotes nearly column to an obituary of Gen. Sheridan's old black horse, Winchester, which he rode to the battle of that name, when twenty miles away" ac- cordlng to the poet; sixteen actually. Gen. Sheridan's account, as given by the In.er-Ocean, states that the horse, Old RienZi, as he was last called, was given him in May, 1862, when three years old, and he rode him from that time through all his campaigns and battles. He was full blooded Black hawk, from Michigan, 1615 hands high, and had a stride which enabled him to get over five and half miles an hour at a walk, keeping everything about him trOting. He was Tn nearly ninety engagements, and was hit three times, but died, it is to be presumed, at hay ing his forage cut off by an ungrateful Government, because he didn't live west of the Mississippi.

MdH Service Wanted.

Tombstone and Santa Rita, two of our most important mining districts, are without any mail facilities except such as is secured through the courtesy of private individuals These districts aggregate several hundred inhabitants and these justly complain that they are left without any regular communica- tion with the outside world. Election will soon be over and MT. Stevens will then be ready to aid in this matter; no trouble to get the service if the matter is properly presented to the aulhori- ties.

California undoubtedly uses wind mills much more extensively than any other section of our country. The day is not far distant when they must come into general use in Arizona. Our streams do not furnish sufficient water during the dryer seasons to supply our rapidly increasing stock herds, and to irrigate sufficient vegetables required by our growing settlements, hence we must employ new means to elevate the water to the surface. Windmills will no doubt be the means most ex- tensively employed. California has demonstrated the fact that they are cheap, durable and adequate, and they are coming into general use in all arid countries. An exchange notices that the exports of windmills from Eastern manufactures are quite large. A DOT ton of the cargo of bark which late ly loaded at New York for New Zeal and, consisted of fifty large windmills, ordered by parties in New Zealand, and chiefly for raising water on stock farms, where the wells are sometimes 200 feet deep. They are required to supply tanks at the railroad stations, and for various agricultural purposes. Cuba and South America are both good export markets for this sort of machinery, wind-power being in grow ing favor on the sugar estates of Cuba to pump molasses, and windmills are occasionally used for similar purposes in the sugar warehouses at Havana and Cardenas. English windmills are made after the old Dutch fashion, with broad fans, and the general construc- tion is heavy.

NOTHING makes a man so in love with purity as purity. Many a man has been lifted out of debasing sins against which he has vainly struggled, by coming to know and love pure, sweet woman. It is in sight of em- bodied good that makes us want to be good. Many a mother, by the quiet usefulness of her life, fills her children with a desire to be like her that makes them in their turn unselfish. There are obscure men and women who hard ly in their lives utter word of con scious teaching, who, by theIr example do more to make people around them gentle and truthful and Christlike, than any preacher can do. IL is not those who talk about goodness, but those who are good that make the light of the world.

The North Pole.

It is now feared that the earth may soon cease to turn on its axis for every effort to climb up and grease the pole has failed. Information has just been received by Captain Howgate, at the Signal Office, that Captain Tyson, of the schooner Florence, of the Howgate Polar Expedition, has reached St. Johns, N. F., week ago. He has been absent fourteen months. All hands were reported well, but il is not announced whether they had done anything about the pole or not.
