PROF. r. G. FAIRFIELD delivered a lee. ture recently, in New York, "The Micros cope and its Revelations. ''In the summer of 1876, the lecturer discovered little in sect which he named tine fy-mite. In Sept. ember following, be noticed many dead flies just beneath the gas jet, their wings generally singed slightly. So one evening he picked up fly just fallen-not dead and cut off it's head, to find out what would cause a house fly to burn itself to death. On removing the integument the brain of the fly was found literary alive with insects, which under power of 50 diameters, ap-
 peared to be infusorious, but under high CT power proved to be the smallest insect yet discovered, having all their parts con- plete. The mite is less than One-fOur jcinted legs not half so long as the body and has one and one half times as many muscles as man. Ten thousand speci- mems in embryo of this creature can be packed away in the cavity of fy's skull, and it forms the connecting link between the animalcules and insects. Last June, the professor was called upon to examine a singular phenomenon in specimen of urine submitted to him from a patient suf- fering from Bright's disease of the kidneys.

THE NEW ELI DORADO.
Southern Arizona the Land of Wonderland Beauty--EtsR Immense Mineral Resources It's Fertile Plains and Growing Towns.

From St. Louis Times, Dec 24l
 Said lady in London, when told by her attorney that her husband had gone to Arizona, And where is Arizona? I have searched the atlas through and I can find no such place in the world. You don't mean to say that he has gone to H-Hades 9" The trouble was her husband was not a very good man and her atlas was old.
 Arizona is in places pretty warm, but it furnishes substantial evidence in bustling mining camps, browsing fiocks and grow ing towns, that it is the land of life. To the eye of the Artist the Territory is well named-Arizona, the land of beauty. No casual traveller can fail to mark this. In the most hurried passage through it the eye will be met with scenes on every side which will be remembered. Bold, rugged mountain ranges, lifted up in picturesque and striking outline, whose serrated peaks pierce the sky; brooks filled with sparkling waters, which find their way down through steep and narrow ca1ons to be lost in the sands of the desert, or to be absorbed by some smoothly flowing river, which slips down through broad valleys, disappearing now from sight through some subterranean channel to reappear miles away, the same

GOT HIS COME-UP-ANCE.

WASHINGTON, January ,.
 The President has set aside the entire
 proceedings in the Court-martial case of Chas. H. Campbell, of the 9th Cavalry. Copies of his order of disapproval and re- ports of the Judge Advocates decision on
 which it is based have been sent to each member of the Court and to Col. Kautz, Commanding General of the Department of Arizona. This very unusual action at- tracts considerable attention in army cir cles and among Pacific Coast people. It was universally regarded, and was, doubt less, very pointed rebuke both to the Court and to Kautz. It appears from the record that Kautz was summoned as witness for the defense, Captain Campbell proposing to prove, in mitigation of certain charges of devoting Government property to private uses, that he has simply adopted the custom and followed the example set before him by the Commanding General. Kautz, however, while still under sum- mons, left the Department on private busi- ness and went to the Atlantic States with ont allowing himself to be examined. The Court nevertheless proceeded to close the case and forward to Kautz in the East it's sentence of dismissal Kautz received the full record of the proceedings while in Cincinnati, and this although he had no authority whatever to exercise the func- tions of Commanding General of the Department or Arizona outside of it's geo. graphical limits, and this although his ap- proval of the sentence, rendered under the circumstances above indicated, was lnani- festly anomalous and glaringly at variance with all safeguards of judicial protection. These facts and circumstances all appear ing of record were speedily discovered by the President and reviewing officers in Washington, and President Hayes, without hesitation, took action upon them as above described, annulling the whole proceedings and discharging Captain Campbell fron further arrest or custody.

 in state of preservation, finding new
 dwellers in the place of those who were
 slain. Up in the heart of the Santa Ritas where the children of old Cachise, the
 Apache chief, were born and cradled, has sprung up the little village of Toltec, which Is destined to grow into large proportions
 The great attraction to this new yet old land is, of course the great mineral wealth
 which it has been known for the past fifty years to contain. This is being rapidly uncovered, and large lodges of ore, assay ing in silver and gold from $500 to S1O,OOI per ton have in many places been opened and developed to the depth of over 10O feet. This immense mineral treasure, to be had for the mere labor of getting it out, would of itself make great country. But added to this-as is the case in California-iS a a body of millions of acres of fertile land, much of producing wonderful crops with out irrigation, and all of it, under cheap and economical system Of irrigation, capa- ble of being made to yield two crops per year. This feature alone would make the country great The climate is very warm in some of the valleys but, as is the case all over the Pacific coast, owing to the char acter of the atmosphere the heat is not so much felt. But in the foothills and moun- tains the climate is perfect, varying scarce ly ten degrees from seventy degeees the year round. This feature will make the country great resort for those who are Tn search of health, especially for consump- tiyes and those troubled with diseases of the throat. On these accounts Arizona, and especially the southern part of the Territory, is ROW having an almost unprec- edented immigration.
 As result of large immigration and the starting up of many new enterprises, traae has assumed large proportions. St. Louis should look well to her own interests and see that this trade comes to her markets, for here it properly belongs. There are two reasons why the trade thus far has been done by the East:
 1. Because San Francisco merchants have thus far very foolishly insisted on doing business on gold or hard money basis and Arizona has always used curren- cy, and the merchants now do not find it to their taste to change; and,
 ?. For some unaccountable reason the freights have been from 9 to 90 per cent lower from New York than from San Fran cisco. This of course will not continue, as the Southern Pacific road will be speedily pushed on to Tucson. But, as all know, trade follows in accustomed channels, and its diversion is not easy. Nine-terths of this trade now goes from the East, being done by Chicago and New York, and it is rapidly enlarging. St. Louis can now se- cure large part of this trade if her mer- chants and business men are energetic and on the alert. If secured it will prove next to Texas, to be the most remunerative that this city can secure.
 The discussion Ill Congress of the Texas Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad bills will soon bring Arizona into great promi- nence, and we may expect to learn much more in detail concerning this wonderful land.

SECRETARY SHERMAN.

Persons who claim to know, soy there is
a hidden meaning to the remarks attributed
to Colonel Moulton, of Cincinnati, as to the
surfeit of Secretary Sherman with public
life. 1t is weIlknown fact that Mr.. Sher.
mans friends were greatly surprised by his
resignation from the senate TO accept the
Office of secretary Of the treasury. In pri-
vate conversation he had often spoken de-
precatingly about the d~rudgery and thank
lessness of cabinet Office, and conveyed the
belief that he would not take a place in
a%nybody's cabinet, but they solved the
doubt in their minds BY the conclusion that
he took this Office 80 that he might engi.
neer the consummation of the "crowninR
achievement of his life" the resumption OF
specie payment in the United States, with
the successful establishment of which he
would retire from public life. He works
cheerfully now, but 1t is evident that be de-
sires to devote himself to pursuits of q less
public nature. Upon this foundation. and
strengthened by other equally significant
though less apparent reasons. is based the
prediction that Mr.. Sherman will not re-
main in the cabinet another year.

Hon. Ignatius Donnelly has filed a notice
of contest of the seat of W. D. Washburn,
Congressman elect from the Third district.
The charges specified in the document are
"bribery, intimidation, violence, fraud, cor
ruption and Irregularities Although
Washburn's majority, according to the Off
cial returns, was over 5000, Mr.. Donnelly
claims that if the election had been conduct
ed according to law, he would have beaten
Washburn by several hundred majority.
Some of the leading Republican journals
of the State are prone, we see, to make
light of Mr.. Donnelly's attempt to obtain
redress by an appeal to Congress, but if re-
ports are true, Mr.. Washburn holds his GER
ti6cate of election by very frail tenor, and
it will be no very strange happening if his
official career III the forty-sixth congress is
brief. An investigating committee will no
doubt nnearth many peculiarly crooked
transactions on the part of Washburn,
Fletcher & Co.
We have no desire to have Mr.. Washburn
wrongfully ousted from a seat in the House.
but if, as alleged in the notice of contest, he
was elected by fraud and the corrupt use of
money, he should be sent to the wall. On
the other hand, It would be an objectionable
wrong on the part of Mr. Donneliy to heap
upon the country the vast amount of expen-
ses which contest would entail, unless he
has very strong evidence to sustain him.
