The series of short papers, half biographi-
cal and hall critical. edited by John Morley and
republished in America by the Harpcrs. was

curiosity to an extent thai shall bc profitable for
knowledge and life. conveying an ade-

whose leisure is scanty. Tho double
purpose Of the series is efiectualy aHsworod in
the initial volume. Samuel johnson. In a small
compass the writer. Mr. LESLIE STEPHEN. has
managed to condense ali the really valuable and
striking material contained in the huge mass Of
Johnsonian biography. and Mt the same time to
present a clear and Just impression OF his sub
Iect's achievements in literature.
II IL really surprising 10 note how skilfully
Mr.. Stephen has CLEANED from Boswell, Mrs
Thralc. and other collectors OF Johnsoniann all
the telling and amusing things leaving the
dullness and the priggishness and the repeti-
tions to the students Of the original volumes
He has compressed for example into n couple
Of pages almost all the anecdotes relating to
the lifelong friendship Of Johnson and Garrick.
So. too. all the neat sayings and diNerting incl
dents which onyen the proliX diary Of tho

Mr. Stephens little book. but we would glance
briefly at the acute yet sympathetic appreca-
tion Of DIR. Johnson's literary performances
Mr. stephen reminds us that Johnson was an
extremely ndolent man. who only worked
under the pressure Of circumstances. and that
Il very small portion Of his lilo was given TO
literary employment after 1860. when he re-
ceived pension Of 1880. Although II is pos
sihlo to collect Of the hack work done in earlier
years enough to I'LL twelve octave volumes,
without reckoning two volumes of Parliament

among his poems nothing but the limitations

which. however. it appears that ho received
about 81 5OO can only be perused by
men in whom sense Of duty
is abnormally developed. Among the two
hundred and odd essays of tho Ram
bier only very small proportion could arrest
! attention. especially since Rlsseas contains the
substance Of those ethical dispositions in q
moro attractive form. His political pamphlets
are readable only in particular passages, ana tn,
greater part Of his criticism is obsolete. But
Mr.. stephen thinks that the child of Johnson

to be made Il familiar companion by those

We made a personal exami- nation of fine mill, from the top to the bottom, and it would be a hard task to make q single improvement, however small. Under inc efficient management of NIT. Hellings, every thing works as smoothly and perfect ly as a good chronometcr watch.

SECRETARY SCIIURZ has written 8 letter in reply to recent letters of Gen erals Sherman and Sheridan. The letter is a severe and cauStic arraign- ment of the positions taken by army officers as to the removal of the agen- cy from Fort Sill. Indian bureau of- ficers say that General Sheridan, even although he located the post there, could not know as much about it as an Indian agent who had been con stantly in the place for five years, and that the removal of tine post was greatly to the advantage of the Indi- an service. In a letter received by General sherman from General Sher- idan, the latter says thas as soon as he can return from New York, where he has gone to attend to the suit against him on account of the seIzure of su- gar plantations in Louisiana, under the reconstruction act, he will answer Secretary Schurz's letter, calling for specifications of management in the Indian service.

TIE following is from the Miner |: .aWe believe that a large town will Spring into existence, and be perma- nent, near Gila Bend. It will be the nearest point that the railroad will come to Prescott, and the country be- tween the two points presents no ob- stacles of q serious character to pre- vent the opeHing of one of the best wagon routes in the territory. IL is estimated by those familiar with the new proposed route that Gila Bend can be reached in 125 miles"
 The EHteypriss has been advocating such town in opposition to Phcnix, but the above is, we believe, the first -'break" the Miner has made. Old teImsters inform us that the distance is 1GO miles instead of 12j, and as we have been over considerable of the route, we know it is sandy and with. out water. Such being the case it is impossible to establish the shipping place for Prescott and Northern Ari zona in any place but in the vicinity of Maricopa Wells. The EHferpris, and Miner know this, but they wish to show their love for PheniX by ad vOcating an opposition town.

A PROPHECY.

The writer is not prophet nor the son of prophet, but he thinks he can read "t the signs of the times" suf- ficiently well to enable him to fore tell with a considerable certainty a few events, of much public interest, which will transpire within the linn it's of our now isolated and little known territory. F"r period of nearly two months the writer has been moving in the midst of that class of men who, by their money and their enterprise, move the world" We have talked with the moving spirits connected with the building of the Southern Pacific railway, and also with those interested in the building of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway, and with the knowledge thereby obtained as a basis upon which to rest the statement, we will hazard the opinion that the invinci- ble Iron horse, driven by the South ern Pacific railroad company, will be sccnting ihe air of Arizona with his delightful snorts, all the way from Yuma to Maricopa Wells, distance of two hundred miles, more or less, within the next six months.
 We prophecy that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway com pany will, before January 1, 1881, or within a period of two years, build their road down into our country to connect with the Southern Pacific railway, thus giving us the advantage of a through railway connection both to the east and west.
 The Texas Pacific railway company, now acting like fools, arc halting mid way between the east and west, await ing expected additional aid from con- gross, which we think they will nev- CT get, and thus by their mastcrly in activity in the matter of actual rail road building they are losing preci- ous time while they are lobbying with the powers that be, and spending their time and money on men who will not be able to do them any good, the two companies above mentioned comprehending the advantages of the situation, are pushing their enter priscs forward as fast as men and money will enable them to do so. Following the completion of the through line of road across our country from cast to west the increase of population and con sequent rapid development of our natural resources, other lines of rail- roads will be projected and built, north and south from the main line.
 Another prophecy we make: With in five years from this time, Arizona will be more greatly blessed with railway facilities than any other ter ritory or western section of the coun- fry. Look at the railway snaps of the country and carefully study the lines already built in our vicinity and those projected, a-d then draw your own conclusions. Our beautiful "sky land" will not much longer be left out in the cold" A grand and glori- ous future awaits her in the way of wonderful and rapid natural develop ments. Men of money are anxiously looking Arizonaward, and are now ready and willing to invest in her rich and promising mineral fields. We know of one Chicago company who are quietly preparing to invest very largely in our mines, and they will not await the building,of rail roads either.
