The fastest time was only 5:13, but
the course was on turf and the
wagons weighed two or three times
as much as ours, and these horses
could do their fifteen miles an hour
and keep it up. Query, whether
these roadsters are not on the
| whole more valuable than our
trotters
1t is a question in my mind
| whether we are not sacrificing too
much to speed; whether, now we
have got the trotting horse down
to nearly two minutes, it would not
be as we'll to turn him into good
roadster to move fifteen miles an
hour for half day with a man and
his family behind him, rather than
one mile in two minutes, with a gig
and man made to dodge air
streaks, In his rear.

The Air. the sall and Wheat.

The Sacramento Union has the fol- lowing excellent article: There are some curious facts connected with wheat growing that lead to the in quiry as to how much wheat is affect ed by the atmosphere and how much by the soil. We will state some of the facts to which we refer. In all new countries ths yield of wleat is larger than in old countries, and the yield gradually decreases as the crop becomes general, In 1Sjj-G, and a few years later, it was not unfrequent- ly the case that fields winter plowed and sowcd produced as high as sixty and even seventy and eighty bushels to the acre. Now it is very seldom that crop is secured, even on land that has never been plowed before, averaging more than forty bushels. Why should not new land yield as much in 1878. in California, as the same quality of new land did in 1858? Again, in all the Western states, where the grasshoppers ate all the growing wheat to the ground be- fore it had headed out, the crops are much larger this year than they are in sections where the grasshoppers did not cut off the crops, whether tn c sowing was on the same ground upon which the crops were destroyed by the insects last year, or on other ground that had been reserved for this years sowing. A moments reflec- ton will show that these facts are in dependent of the question of eXhaus- tion ofthc soil by too frequent crop ping in wheat, and that the reason for them must be looked for in some other quarter We th.nk they point strongly to an exhausting of some necessary wheat-growing ingredients in the atmosphere. Have not wheat growers also noticed that almost uni vcrsally where there has been fail ure of the wheat crop in any section of the country from any cause, the next succeeding crop is almost cer- tain to be. unusually heavy and per- feet? It would be an interesting sub ject of experiment to determine how much the growth of wheat is depend ent on the soil and how much on the atmosphere.

Gypsum and r:uins.

The SHcsr Bet. of q late date, says: Dr. Stallo has shown Us some splen- did specimens of gypsum rock, dis covered by him on Tonto creek, about sixteen miles from the crossing of Salt river on the PheniX road. This gypsum is what is known as the plas- ter paris of commerce. It is exten- Sivcly used in the arts and in the em- bellishmcnt of the interior of houses. It is also extensively used IS a fertil- izing agent. It has the faculty after being calcincd of attracting atmos- phcric moisture, and is consequently of great value upon dry soils. It is d sulphate of lime. The doctor tells us the deposit is immense and easy of access. We don'G want plaster paris much in Arizona yet, but when the railroads get in, and money gets cir culating, adobe as finishing matc- rial for the interior of houses will be out of date, and plaster will take its ] place. He also tells us of having seen the ruins of q building, built and occupied by the former residents of the Verde country, which measured about 350 feet square, and contained about 400 rooms. Portions of the Esecoad story walls still remain. There are no roads leading to it, and as a canal has evidently run near the house, the presumption is that the material for the building must have been brought, like the material for Solomon's Temple, on floats, there being no rock of the kind used near the building. The doctor did not find much of the carthenwarc so con- mon in similar ruins in New Mexico, and what he did find, was very little decorated The time will come when these ruins will be sort of Mecca, to- ward which antiquarian pilgrims will turn their steps. There are evidences that the people were agricultural, as numerous ditches traverse the coun- try. Some of these ditches or canals have been cut for miles through solid malapais. The ievel of the rlver is some distance below the bottom of these canals, proving the great an tiquity of the ruins; or else some violent conyulsion of nature, by which the topography of the country has been changed.

LAND ENTREES
Something of Interest to Pre-
 cmpt0rS.

When it is considered that land en- tries, occupations, etc, arc of daily and common occurrence throughout the western part of the country, it is singular thut so little should be known by the people nt large in relation to such matters. Such ignorance is q good thing for lawyers, but q poor in vestmcnt for settlers, who might easi- ly become acquianted with the na- tionnl and local land laws, and thus, in addition to adding something to their fund of information, save money and time As a general thing it is one of the first impulses of the intend ing pre-emptor to consult a lawyer, place the whole business in his hands, and have bill of fees to pay amount ing to four times as much as the gov ernment expects any one to meet. There is still large quantity of val uablc land in Arizona, Utah, and oth- CT parts of the west, still unOccupicd, and those who wish to secure portions of it might save something by con- . hitting to memory the following gen eral principles. ..l
 The word homestead, as now ap- piled in the United States, signifies a tract of land given away ny the gov ernmcnt, as a free gift for ever, on the single condition that the person ac- cepting the land shall live upon the land and cultivate it and make it his home for five years. It consists of eighty acres, if within tie railroa limits of twenty miles on either side of the track, and 160 acres, if outside those limits. A soldier, however, can ! prc-cmpt 160 acres within the rail ! road limits. Any citizen of the Unit ! ed States, who is the head of a fam fly, or an unmarried person over the ] age of twenty-one years, is entitled to homestead. A person wishing to enter homestead must go the Unit ed States land office of the district in which the land he wants is located, and file his application and affidavit in accordance with legal forms which will be furnished him by the land of ficer in charge. At the expiration of five years, fl he has resided on the land, or within two years thereafter, on making proof at the land office, by two competent witnesses, that he has complied with the requirements of the law, and paying an additional fee of S4, he will receive from the gov ernment complete and absolute title to the land. The railroad limits cx- .end twenty miles on each side of the track. Outside of these limits all homestead settlers are entitled to one hundred and sixty acres. Home stcads, until the issuing of the patents, are free from taxation, and cannot he taken away or sold for debt, but arc absolutely secure. to the settlers so long as he occupies and cultivates the [ land.

First California Woman Lawyer.

First California Woman Lawyer.
 Says the San Jose Mercury: AS will be remembered bv many, the bill granting women the right to practice law in this state was passed near tho close of the last legislature; and SO near did it come to being slowed away in the governors capacious pockets that his official signature was not attached thereto until within two minutes of midnight of the last day of the session. Although many friends of the measure in and out of the legislature labored earnestly for the bill, its passage, and especially it's final approval by the governor, were no doubt largely due to the personal efforts of Mrs. Clara S. Foltz, lady law student of this city, at that time well advanced in her readings, and who had determined upon the pro- fessiOn of law as q me ans of honor able livelihood. With the passage ot the bill the lady entered upon her req dings with renewed zeal. Possess ing a remarkably retentivc memory, coupled with intellectual breadth and ready comprehension and natural taste for abstruse subjects, her pro- gress, as might have been expected, has been rapid and thorough. In fact, but few male students have been able to accomplish like proficiency in so short d period. And when the fact is taken into consideration that Mrs. Fo!tz has family of five small chil- dren to care for, and for most of the time she has done her housework un- assisted, and occasionally has been obliged to take to the lecture field as a means of piecing out her meagre income, it will be generally conceded that she is justly entitled to the hon. ors just conferred on her by our dis trict court in admitting her to the bar of said court as fu!l-fedged attorney. The committee appointed to examine her consisted of our first lawyers, who subjected her to thorough test of her legal knowledge, and who unani- mously certified to her entire fitness for advancement. Mrs Foltz is thc
 first woman admitted to the bar of this state

Appearances.

The farmer who attends to the ex- terior of things in general, such as clean yards and buildings, and fences in good repair, twill obtain five to ten per cent. more for the products of his farm, than one who neglects such simple matters. If any one doubts the effect of external appearances up- on values in market or elsewhere, let him try sending butter to market in an old weather-beaten firkin, no mat ter how good the butter or clean the vessel may be inside. If this does not satisfy, try some stained or dirty eggs, or half plucked poultry. Pro- ducing a good article is one thing, selling it to good advantage is anoth- CT, and the good salesman generally makes the most money of the two. The importance of fair exterior can hardly be overestimated. The prin- ciple is potent in any branch of trade, and in every grade of society, there fore it is too important to be over looked or pushed by unheeded.

Now that the harvest is nearly oyer it is ascertain ed beyond a peradventure that the wheat and barley crop in Salt River Valley is large. The Gila Valley usually produces an enor- nous quantity of that grain but this year very little has been raised there, ow- ing to the lack of water for irrigation. The late abundant rains will insure fodder in the Northern part of the Territory but it has come to late for the corn, so that crop will be nearly a failure this year. This state of affairs in the surrounding country will give the farmers of Salt River Valley a market for all their grain at remuner- ative prices. Barley has advanced a quarter and wheat half a cent since har- vest began, with an up- ward tendency.

The measure of the value of money is not its volume, as the greenbackers maintain, but its purchasing power, This fact kept in mind will vindicate the republican policy ot resumption. As MT. Hayes aptly illustrated it in his speech at St. Paul, the S735, ,719,- 266 of currency, which was afloat in 1865, had a purchasing power of only S509, 999,5 ,595, while the S6S7, ,743, ,16S which circulates today has a pur- chasing power of S6S4,000,00O. In other words, while the currency is nearly fifty millions less in volume than it was in 1865, it will now buy nearly one hundred and seventy-five millions more than it did then. Ii is automatic that figures will not lie" How can the inflationists meet these statistics!
