people to considering with some prccipitancy
the question where they will go for the sum-

less travel to Europe this season than last, and
that our American summer resorts win be
patronized to great extent. Our advertising

doubtless have weight with Washingtonians

THE late rain seems to have been general throughout Arizona.

 An AnecdOte of Zach. Chandler,
 When he assumed the duties of Secretary of the Interior, he desired that the position of Attorney of the Department should be filled by a lawyer from Michigan, whose fitness for the work was undoubted. It was teudered to him and refused upon the ground that he could not afford the pecuniary sacrifice that would be required by his withdrawal from his business.
 What sum will make you good ?" asked MT. Chandler.
 Not less than five thousand dol lars year." was the reply.
 "You shall have it, 'said Zach, and during his occupancy of the office the lawyer received a check each year for that amount, paid from Chandler's own pocket. This fact shows, what was true, that he had no desire to prey on tha public Treas ury, but rather a generous wish to give his country the best service, even though it must be done at his own expense. -IOEedo BLdde.
