ARIZONA, generally regarded as for
lorn and unfruitful, and deserving of
consideration only for its mines, seems
from accounts to be improving as a
stock country. A number of herds of
cattle and fine horses have recently been
introduced into different parts, and many
substantial buildings and corrals con-
structed. The Valleys of the Salt and
Gila Rivers are arabic and irrigable,
but much of the land, though offering
few attractions to farmers, is excellent
for grazing, and is used more and more
every year for this purpose. 1t is far
better for cattle than for sheep. and
these are steadily giving way to those
throughout the Territory. The con-
struction of the railway from Adoude
to Maricopa Wells, and even to Tucson,
is not likely to be expensive, as the na-
ture of the country through which the
road is laid out is generally favorable to
the work. The track is now being laid
at the rate of a mile and half day.
Great effort seems making to develop
Arizona, which certainly needs devel.
opment, as it is deficient in many nat
ural advantages. The best known town,
Tucson, has population of less than
five thousand, of whom only about two
hundred are American proper.

Sudden FOrgetfuIness.

Another curious feature of learning
by heart is that which is known to
actors as " studying a part out of your
head" The process is an unexpected
and alarming one. A man studies in
tensely and hurriedly, with no relaxa-
ton. He gets perfect in remarkably
short space of time, when all of sudden
he finds he cannot remember single
word of all he has studied.
He is frightened-he thinks his MEM
ory has failed him-and as memory is one
of the first essentials to an actor, he be-
lieves he is ruined man, with his oc-
cupation gone; but he is not-he has
simply applied himself too closely and
has studied part clean out of his head.
The words will, in all likelihood, come
back again like dash-as suddenly and
for as little reason as they left him.
But to insure this good result he must
stop studying or even thinking of the
words-he must go out, look in the win
dows, talk with friends and try to forget
the mental strain, and to lead the mind
into different channel of thought, and
by the time he has managed to forget
his trouble and fright, the whole part
will come back, as have said, like Q
flash of lightning.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the Senate, February II, Mr.. Window
presented petition of the Negro Co-opera-
tive Association, of Shreveport, Louisiana,
favoring the passage of a resolution in re-
gard to the immigration of the colored peo-
pie. 1t was signed by large number of
ministers, representing congregations of
that place. It was laid on the table. The
resolution is now before the Senate. The
vote was considered, by which the House
bill, authorizing the conversion of national
gold banks, passed, and amendments cor
recting errors, but not changing the features
of the measure, were agreed to. The per-
fected bill then passed. Most of the day
was spent in work on the Internal Revenue
Bill, which fixes the uniform rate of sixteen
cents on snuff and tobacco, and leaves the
tax on cigars and friction matches at exist
ing rates. Also, exempts from
tax all deposits in savings institu-
tions which are invested in Government
bonds, and on $1,000 of each deposit
made in the name of any one person, firm,
or corporation. Mr.. Matthews proposed to
| impose tax of ten cents per pound on tea,
and two and half cents on coffee, which
was pending at djournment.........In the
House, during the morning hour, Mr.
Hale, under call of States, offered q
resolution directing the Committee on Ju
dietary to report joint resolution propos
ing constitutional amendment to pro
n1DlC Iue payment Oh war Claims, except o.
persons loyal to the Union. A motion te
adjourn was made on the Democratic side
and the roll call consumed the remainder O
the hour, and the resolution went owe
without action. A motion to suspend tn,
rules was made by Mr.. Sparks, for tn
purpose of passing bill appropria
ting $26,852,200 for the payment o
arrears of pensions. On motion O
Mr.. Rice, the bill was amended, b.
a vote of 178 yeas to 67 nays, to includ
special pensioners and pensions granted o.
account of soldiers who enlisted in the wal
but who died from disabilities incurred a
ter the cessation of hostilities. Mr.. Reaga
moved to suspend the rules and pass tn
River and Harbor Appropriation Bill
, Agreed to. Pending District of Columbi
business, a recess was taken till evenin,
when the memorial services of Representa-
tive Schleicher were held.
/, In the Senate, February 18, a motion b
Mr.. Morrill, was agreed to, to reconsider tt
: vote by which the House bill passed

in aid of refunding the public debt. NJ
Morrill, then submitted an amendmel
providing that money received fro

during the war. After some discussion, on
notion of Mr.. White, the enacting clause
was stricken out. The claim of Mr.. A. 81.
Richards, of Virginia, for Sc 900, for sup
plies furnished the army during the war
was treated in the same way; as also the
plies furnished by him as sutler after the
battle of Shiloh; and the bills of Hiram
johnson and others, of Tennessee. The
only bill agreed to by the committee was
one for the relief of Gibbs & Co., of Charles
ton, S. c.
In the Senate, February %, Senator Zach.
ariah Chandler, of Michigan, was escorted
to the Vice-President's desk, and the oath
of Office administered. The Army Appro.
priation Bill was taken up, the pending
question being on a motion to strike out the
section in regard to army reorganization.
After some explanations the question was
taken on a motion to strike out
all sections relating to army reorganiza-
ton, upon the ground that there was not
to-yeas 45, nays IS. General Burnside
and those who have assisted him in prepar-
ing his plan to reorganize the army, were
very much disappointed at the over
whelming vote in the Senate to-day by
which the Appropriation Bill was stripped
of its reorganization feature. The Repub-
hcans also struck off the bill the clause
day, except to repel an armed invasion of
the United States. This is one of the pet
Democratic clauses, and the Conference
Committee, which will now take charge
of the bill, will have hard work to
agree......In the House, Mr.. Banning called
up the Senate resolution authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to sell the post.
it was passed without objection.
Speaker Randall, by his vote, prevented
the House from going on with the Appro-
priation Bill. Hale's motion to take up
the bill was carried by one majority, but
Randall voted in the negative, making
the vote tie, and then decided it lost.
The Chinese question was again sprung,
and more feeling and excitement was
displayed than at any previous time.
The Senate amendments were agreed to.
There were some changes in favor of the
the Chinese side of the question, the vote
to-day standing 140 to 95-less majority
than previously. After the China question
was disposed of, the Internal Revenue Bill
was taken up and all the Senate
amendments agreed to but four, one of
these being the amendment restoring the
tax on friction matches, another in relation
to rectifers' brands, another as to the time
the law should 60 into effect, and the last
being the amendment repeating the bank
tax. The old currency question, which has
been talked up and down for fifteen years,
was fought over again with great vigor. 1t
came up on the old bill to repeal the
Resumption Law, which tho House
passed and the Senate vitality amended and
sent back. Kelley declared resumption a
failure; that business had not improved,
| and that the country was going to de.
struction because of the policy of Secretary
Sherman in keeping gold tied up in the
Treasury. The debate was animated and in

motion to lay the whole matter on the table,

FOkEIGN SUMMAR Y.

THE Royal College of Physicians have
asked the Government to appoint royal
commission of statesmen, physicians and
specialists to investigate the plague in
Russia. In st. Petersburg commission is
forming, under General Helfreich, specially
to watch over the sanitary condition of
troops.
THE West Indian arrived lately at New
York, and reports another revolution in
Hayti. In one of the engagements that took
place by moonlight. the Government forces
lost thirty-fve killed and eighty-nine
wounded. The loss to the insurgents ex-
ceeded these figures, and all of them cap
tured were promptly put to death.
MINISTER KAssoN, writing from Vienna
says: "The Russian plague excites great
alarm in Germany, Austria and Hungary; !;
that nearly all the patients have died, and
that six army surgeons and nearly all who
came in contact with the dead had died,
although disinfectants were freely used.
The mortality among the sick in some
places was equal to one hundred per cent. "

The expenses attendant upon law
proceedings are well illustrated by the
following list of costs incurred in the
notorious Baufremont case, which has
attracted public attention in Europe for
SO many years. The separation in 1867
cost 5000 francs; the first, second, and
third lawsuits, 81, 900 francs each; the
fourth, los, 900 francs; and the Belgian
lawsuit, $500 francs. Then comes the
money given by the Princess Bibesco to
NJ Bauffremont before her marriage
with Prince George Bibesco in 1876
$4,000 francs. The expenses of the
fifth action amounted to 2S2, 600 francs,
and those of the sixth, lately decided at
Bleis and at Orleans. $4,000 francs. To
this must be added travelling and other
incidental expenses, 10000 francs, and
the costs of the two suits now pending
in Belgium, say 120, 900 francs, making
total of III, 900 francs, or $l42, 200.

ONE of the Figaro's admirable Ameri-
can incidents: A widow, whose hus,
band, mechanic, had been killed in
railway accident, obtains a judgment of
five thousand dollars damages against
the railway company. The same court
gives verdict for fifteen thousand dol
lars to a man who lost his leg in the
same smash-up. The widow of the me-
chanic thereupon goes to the judge and
protests against the injustice of his de-
cision. els Leg" she asks, worth
three times as much as a whole man ?'
And the judge responds: "The decision
is perfectly equitable. A man who has
lost leg cannot replaceit with another
as good, even for fifteen thousand dol
lars; but widow with five thousand
dollars can easily get a new husband,
and much better one, probably, than
the one she has lost"

consulting the officiating clergyman
before fixing the time, and disappearing
of the fashion of costly mourning attire,
all of which is founded in good sense.

The Washington ID. o. Star says
that every now and then somebody
sends to the Treasurer for redemption
some of the old paper money issued
under the Continental Congress. This
money was never Iedeemable by the
United States, but was up to 1877 receiy-
able in resumption to a United States
loan mt the rate of one dollar for one.

The heavy duties imposed by the
Italian Customs ON foreign tobacco make
smuggling SO profitable trade that the
frontier population are leaving their oc-
cupations by hundreds in order to en-
gage in the business. Last year in the
district Of Como alone thirty-seven
thousand kilos of tobacco were confs-
Gated. The fines collected amounted to
100000 lire, and, in default of pay
ment, many persons have been sentenced
TO long terms of imprisonment. The
penalty for smuggling single cigar is
seventy lire.

A RAILWAY employee in France, by
way of piece of bravado, lit his pipe
with his ticket, No. 955, ,089 in the great
French lottery, and that there might be
no doubt on the subject, he chalked the
figures On a wall in the presence of sew
eral Of his comrades, who stood all agape
at the sight. Now, chance has so willed
that the number in question has turned
out famous prize, and had the employee
only been able to produce his ticket he
would have received in exchange the
sum-to him fortune-of "a, 900 francs.

The Dunkers, who settled in Penn
sylvania 1G0 years ago, no longer hold
their land in common, but divide it up
like other people. Their language has
become so completely patoiS of Dutch,
German and English rs to be no longer
ineligible to persons of those nation
alities. They favor celibacy, but don't
enforce it. Men, women and children
all labor hard and long in the fields.
They rise and retire very early, and eat
five times a day They keep the origi-
nal Sabbath day, and celebrate the
Lords supper at night. At such cele-
bration they go through the form of
washing each others feet as an act Of
humiliation.

4 Change in Funeral Fashions.

The gradual change in mortuary Gus
several years the floral fashion continued
to increase until it reached climax at
Stewards funeral The expense of dec
Grating the coffin, with other displays
suitable to that occasion, was $4,000.
This excess brought an immediate reac-
ton, and srcce then flowers for mortuary
purposes have nearly fallen out of use.
Another feature in funerals is the choice
of evening as the time of service, after
which the remains are taken away for
interment. The escort to the grave on
such occasions is limited to the smallest
number that may be required. 1t
would be well if another point coald be
brought into fashion-that is, an abate-
ment in display of mourning, which,
