A dispatch from Prescott, A.. t., says !:
DR., W. f. Smiths bill for q divorce from
his wife, has been put through the Legis-
laturc in an omnibus bill, with fourteen
other acts, so that the Governor will have
to veto all if he vetoes Smiths bill. The
Doctors matter is interesting, because OF
the notoriety he has obtained Of late by
his proceedings in relation TO his attempts
to obtain a divorce from his wife. which
has from time to time been ventilated in
the newspapers. The Doctor is a noted
~oculist, rich and petted, and a society man.
A couple of years ago he became acquaint-
ed with Annie Carpenter, a niece OF Tom.
Fitch. He left his wife and endeavored to
obtain a divorce, SO as to marry Annie, but
failed, and the Court, upon application Of
Mrs. Smith, compelled the husband to pay
for his wife's support. Some two or three
months ago Smith went to Yuma, just
over the Arizona line, to gain an ostensi-
BILE residence in that Territory, and got
Tom. Fitch to engineer his little matter,
which has worked well SO far.

Horace Greeley's maxim that the way tc
get rich was to ego West" says a New
York paper, was out Of time when he ut
tered it. years ago-but it seems to be com.
ing true now. The statistics of the Land
Office for the period from 1872 to 1875
show that the sales of public lands tc
original settlers have increased very largely,
while bankruptcies and panics have DESC
lated the business Of the country. The
amount of sales in 1878 was about double
that of the previous year., 562, 246 acres
against 1888, 479. This is also in excess Of
the sales in any year since 1872. 1t is
notable fact that the large increase Of set
tiers occurred when immigration had
dropped to a very low point; ~naturalized
citizens or those of native birth taking up
tie public lands in the hope of retrieving
their fortunes by removal to fresher fields,
or of averting the disasters that they saw
coming upon them. The student Of social
statistics and the thoughtful observer of
current events will alike find in these in
teresting figures the material for a COM
parison with the west that is and is to be.
