] have myself lived to witness one or
two grand melodramatic scenes in
my day. First on the stage came
the little Corsican; all Europe be

"Red battles stamped his foot; !" the
Pyramids shook and the Kremlin

CONCLuSI0N

CONCLUSION.
AT the same hour did Major White
receive intelligence that the jury had
finally returned a verdict in his favor
and that bis betrothed was divorced.
In ten days he was united to Mary.
And OIL let Mary be her name
IL hath sweet and gentle sound
At which no glories dear to fame
Come crowding round;
But which the dreaming hours beguiles
with holy thoughts and household smiles.
Since then the Major and his lady
has visited Clocktown and the home
of Mary's youth in Massachusetts
visited Saratoga, and elegantly fur.
nished fine new house with superb
furniture-not forgetting the cradle.
Their children are both vaccinated.
The Major himself has been born
again and is one Of the most eminent
saints in the church and his lead is
still unexhausted. When the nascent
star of Wisconsin shall glisten in the
constellation of states, his political
star will. be in the ascendant. Msjor
james White, late of the army of
Texas, still firmly believes that he
was even more fortunate when he
Don a aOJe than when he struck a
lead.

PIMA COJXTY.
Something of Its Past Progress
 and Future Expectations.

The following is condensed from a five-column article in the Tucson Star of January 9th, on the above subject. The enterprise of that newspaper in laying before tsi thousands of readers such exhaustive information on its resources is commendable. The Star and the SALT RIVER HERALD were .the only Arizona newspapers that -"wrote up" their sections at the close of 1878.
 The population. of Pima county in 1876 was less than S,OOO-now it is 1000. The assessed value of the property is S1,2OOO3O. The county debt is nearly $29,OO0. There are 2S mining districts in the county, .aHl thirteen permanent mining camps. Locations during the year foot Ip 1,773, and during the same period 567 deeds to mining property record ed. The value of property sold was $7s0,000 in cash actually received. The total namber of assays made by three assayers in Tucson were 3,S15. The highest assay per ton was $S, ,1SS s.; the lowest, 0. The average was: Gold, S23.751a; silver, SIP O3. To- tsl, S135 7S15.
 There are five quartz mills now in operation against one at the begin hing of the year. The grain pIoduc- tfon was seven million pounds. There were s13,000 worth of fruit trees pur- chased during the past year. Over 2.000 head of stock cattle are in the county, and the number of sheep G. 900, which are clipped twice A year, each clip averaging three pounds. One million feet of lumber is turned out at the saw mills There are four grist mills in the county. Nearly five million pounds of freight were receiv- cd by the Tucson merchants during the past year. Number of pupils in attendance at the public schools, 2S2; number of schools, 3; teachers, 1, and the amount paid for public education nearly $4,000. The county has three churches. of which two arc catholic; the value of the property is $1O,500. Four newspapers are supported in Tucson-two English and two Span- ish. About S6,500 were received in customs during the past year. The military telegraph done S7,000 worth of business. There are 21 postoffices in the county; money orders issued, Al 900, and paid S67,000. The future promises are exceedingly bright for this section of Arizona.

THE Citizen makes these sugges- lions, which we concur in: Let us suggest to this present legislature to vote solidly in favor of a bill for a new and honest apportionment on q new census of the territory. As Yav- apai county claims to have at least half of the entire population of Ari- zona," her delegation in the legisla ture should certainly be in favor of such bill, and as the Pima county delegation will join in, the bill could be easily passed by an overwhelming majority. And there should be pro- vision made in the bill for the most careful supervision and proof of the census taken hereunder.

AG RICU / 7 7 RAIL.

a GREATER interest is being manifested
by northern farmers in the production of
sugar than ever before. The Chinese sugar
cane, SO popular during the war, has again
come to the from. The object of the farmer
seems to be turning more and more towards
making the farm selt-sustaining. The hard
times and low prices of farm products make
this necessary. Sugar is staple and quite
SIS essential as bread, and its production on
every farm would greatly increase the lux
uries OF the farmers table and reduce the
cost of living. Colorado, keeping pace with
the Atlantic states, is also Introducing sor-
ghum, but Montana, we are sorry to say,
can scarcely rely upon this plant. There
are sections perhaps where it will mature
well, but we seriously doubt if it is ever
made practical success in the territory.
But this does not place the means of max
ing our territory self-sustaining in the pro-
duction Of sugar beyond our reach. There
is no country in America, perhaps, better
adapted to the cultivation OF the sugar beet
than Montana, and we certainly think there
is enterprise enough in some of our agricul-
tural valleys to put up a refinery for MAX
ing beet sugar. Let some enterprising indi-
vidual organize a stock company to pur-
chase and put up the necessary machinery,
and locate in the midst of some of our most
thrifty agricultural districts, and there will
be no difficulty in getting a supply of beets.
In view of the urgent necessity of our ter
rltory becoming self-sustaining in the mat
ter of sugar, will not some one take hold
and push such project through to COM
pletion?

THE SOIL BETTER THAN GOLD.

Despite the immense yield of gold in Cal
ifornia, it is now shown that her tilable
soil produces more actual wealth than iIIrr
richest mines. Her grain and her fruits ex-
ceed in value the best of her placers. Mr.
grape crop this season will be so very large
that preparations are making to convert
one thousand tons Of grapes into raisins.
Most persons think of California rs gold
bearing state, and it is pleasant to know
that her agricultural resources are beyond
those of her mines. Agriculture is apt to
pay better than gold or silver, seeking in
any fertile, we'll cultivated region; but there
is sort of fascination about the precious
metals which allures men the world over.
and blinds them to the more rational and
legitimate branches Of industry. It is said
by those in position to know that one man
in fifty who has dug for gold on the Pacific
Slope has procured any considerable
amount. The fortune makers, for the most
part, have been, and are still, the specnlat-
ors in San Francisco and Sacramento. The
great majority OF men who have gone to
California to get gold, from lS49 to the
present time, have not, It's declared, Sc
cured as much as it cost to reach there aid
return. The hardest possible way to OBJ
tain gold is to look for it in the ground. It
is much easier to get it, generally, by stay
ing away from the mine.-Er.

HOW TO MANAGE CHICKENS.

| For chickens I would recommend for tho
first week after Matching, hard-boifed egg
to be given, chopped fine, at least twice j
day, wheat stepped in milk, and coarse In
dian meal, bread crumbs, canary and millet
seed, etc. A change of food is not only adj
vantageous, but necessary, and would ad-
wise that twice per week the food be chang
ed, substituting cracked corn tor wheat.
Ihey must also have constant opportunities
OF picking among grass and other herbs.
They should only be fed so long as they Will
run after their food as soon as they are
careless about it they have enough. Fowls
In confinement will pine to death with heaps
OF corn around them unless they have these
opportunities.
AS the chickens get older they will require
feeding less often, but they must never ba
allowed to fall off in condition, and afteN
from ten to twelve weeks i'm the summer, on
from fourteen to eighteen in the winter
they will be ready to fatten if required. ~
Next, as to water. tits too much the idea
that any description will do, and that bro
vlded there be some within their reach.
though 1t may have been standing q week.
nothing more is required. This is a mis-
take Water for fowls and chickens should
be very clean; the vessel containing 1t
should be we'll rinsed ont every morning:
it is q good plan to put little gravel at the
bottom, and it should be changed twice
day. | am aware many will be disposed to
think this unnecessary; but u will ask any
one who has the opportunity to try whether
where there is a stream of water running
through the yard, they can cause theponl-

their haunts; it will always be found they
prefer going to the stream, to drinking out
