 We are informed of the kill ing of another Indian in the Tempe valley. The murderer was allowed to depart in peace, as the father of the murdered man did not ask for his death.

 Our first skating rink open ed in the new hall of Woolsey < Wentworth last Saturday eveninS and was crowded to its utmost ca pacity. The attendance has been very good every evening since, and it promises to be popular place for many months.
 In about a week, upon the arrival of lot of liquors now en route from Yuma, the finest and most complete wholesale liquor es- tablishment in Arizona will be opened in the building owned by A. Goldman opposite the postoffice by J. R. Dalles and Mir. Aud.
 The driver of the Tiptop stage thinks that the line will be drawn off this end for the present. Hope such is not the case, as it is a great accommodation. At any rate it would only be for a short while, as a contract will be let this month for service to commence October 1st.
 Mrs. Dr. Pierson and Mrs. E. o. Grant of Wickenburg return ed to their home by last Mondays stage, fter visit to Mrs. Smith of Camp Mcdowell who has been very sick, but is now much better.

As he retained hold of the reins through his delirium, the horses became con fused and wandered in all directions making several complete circles. After several hours the stage wan dered into an Indian camp, who ap- preciating the situation, took NIr. Potts out and bathed his feet and head in the river which brought him to his senses, and he made the rest of the trip to Phenix safely. MT.

The Original of the Cultivate ed Po-
tato.

A potato plant (.Soldnum Fendieri)
growing in great abundaHoe in north
ern New Mexico is supposed 10 be the
original of our cultivated potato. This
native plant forms one OF the chief ar
ticles of diet OF the Navajo Indians.
The squaws dig up the small tubers
whatever implements they can obtain,
often using strong, smooth piece of
wood with wedge shaped end. The
plant grows on low, rich spots, and
by spring the earth is turned up in
every conceivable direction in the
search for tho potatoes The latter
are from one-half to three quarters of
an inch IN diameter and of good fla
vor--tasting somewhat like boiled
chestnuts. The Navajo Indians con.
sumo such large quantities at time
as to cause gripping pains, and as a
remedy take at the same meal guam
tity OF earthly matter containing mag
nesia, which relieves the stomach.
Some years ago quantity OF the tu.
bers of this species of potato were
received and distributed by the De-
partment of Agriculture. Reports
from various lcalities stated that, in
many cases, those improved under
cultivation, and increased largely in
size.-.Scientifc american.

For the Girls.

This item which we take from an
exchange ia for the girls:
The beautiful and blomming young
lady, rose-cheeked and bright eyed,
who can darn a stocking, mend her
own frocks, command regiment of
pots and kettles, feed the pigs, milk
the cows and be lady all the time,
is the girl that sensible young men
arc in quest of for wife. Bat you,
pining, wasp wasted, doll-dressed,
Consumption mortgaged, music muir.
Gering and novel devouring daughters
of fashion aud idleness, You are no
more fit for matrimony than a pullet
TO look after brood of fourteen
chickens.
The truth is my dear girls you
want less of restraint and more lib.
erty of action more kitchen and less
parlor /; more exercise and less sofa;
more pudding and less piano, more
frankness and less mock-modesty.
Loosen your corsets and breath in
the pure atmosphere, and become
something as good aud beautiful "a
nature designed.

A Queer Dog


A black and tan, belonging to DIR.
S. N. Smith, recently gave birth to
five puppies, four of which were Ia
ken away from her, leaving her only
one to take care Of A few days af.
ter it was notice that she had in her
kennel little white rabbit, which she
had evidently adopted, and day or
two later black rabbit was found in
the kennel. The mother has taken
both little rabbits under her charge,
and is paying just as much attention
to them as to the puppy which has
been left her. She allows no one to
touch either the puppy or the rabbit,
and protects them all alike, her at.
tachment seeming as strong towards
her adopted ones as towards that of
her own brood.

Preserving Fresh Grapes rrs,


The following method, among many
that have been recommended for
keeping grapes, has proved highly
successful with those who hive adopt
ed Il. Cut the f,ait, when fully ripe.
on dry day spread it out thinly on
shelves or tables, in cool dry room
for few days, two to six, according
to the weather, the object being to
dry up the stems little. Cut clean,
dry straw, in q straw cutter. about an
inch long, and cover hberally the bot.
tom of q suitable tight jointed box or
other vessel, on which. place q LAYER
OF fruit. not too deeply then cover
with siEaw iherally, and lay fruit on
It again /; and go proceed with the
packing of straw and fruit alternately.
This done they require only cool
place with as little moisture as practi-
cable, to insure sound fruit for sever
al months. A sprinkling OF flower OF
sulphur increases the safety Of the
grapef; yet the absorbing property of
dry straw is mainly and ordinarily
sufficient.
The practice of keeping grapes in
the fruit room with the stalks inserted
in bottles filled with water, and sus
pended from the roof Is said TO have
become general in England. Il is
very importsnt to direct attention to
the fact that the stem must be insert
ed in water Immediately after it is
severed from the vine, and also that
the end of the fruit must be shorten.

once inserted the stalks will soon be-

One leak on nearly every farm
may be found in the neglect of the
agricultural implements. In travel
ing over the country, it Is no un-.
usual sight to see plows, harrops
wagons, sleds, reapers, and mowers,
etc, piled in the fence corners, in the
fields, laues, barn-yards, and bubble
highways. Whenever you SOC things
piled around 10 this way, you can
set it down that there is at least ono
leak on that farm. An excuse might
be found for some farmers of limited
means, that they are not able to
build shelters for their implements;
but we find tho same leak on farms
where they count ihsir acres by the
hundreds, and their dollars by the
