Arizona,s Good Name.

Arizona enjoys a very good repu- tation in the East. h the manage ment of her mines the COmstock "sys- tem" has been reversed. Insteal of constantly calling for assessments, the announcement of mine entering the ranks of the dividend paying is by DO means infrequent. This fact is duly apprecutel by careful bus mess men, and it cannot but result in great Inpnuring of capital 10 help in the development of our properties. There are a few cases of mani ipuig- lion coming 10 the front, but they so >huduWed by the honest and eco numical management of so many ujh- CT properties that their evil rifrr' i~ not fell. On this head the New York Mining News has The fol owing 10 say:
 The management of the Arizona properties placed Tn New Yolk has been unilorm.y sensible and uuiver- sally satisfactory. We wi name no names, but we venture to suggest that the example set by some Arizona parties might with advantage be fcl- lowed by managers 0f miCcs else where.

A Brokers Romance.

IL is a very touching romance. We heard a Southern editor tell it on an elevated train yesterday, and he wa, in a great hurry to get home and put il m his paper and gake uu affidavit that it was true. The scene ot the romance opens in a palaliai mansion in New York. A lady sits In puriO. filled with the most costly luXurlcs Diamonds as big as flberls glitter ID her ears. Lace costing S36 per yard almost hides the color oI her dle>s from sight 4 clock costing $1S.OoG strikes lhe hour Oi D. m. Al this moment her husband rushes into the house, pale, haggard, suspeuders broken, hat bunged up and boots all mud.

 Oh, wife! We are bustcG-iGine4 gone up-smashcd flat a- a shingie. he moaned in reply.

 She laughed merril y and long. Had the sudden news crazed her? He thought it had; but he was green. She left the room for moment and then returned with a pillow-ca~e con tanning S2U0, 0J0 in grcenbacks.
 " Let the Crooked River Railroad crook away!" she laughed as she m,tied the money at hi, feet.

Tho Ogden City Council this after noon unanimously adopted a propo- Sition for lighting the streets by an electric light. The manner of light ing i, similar Co that of Wabash, h. diana. 4 aagstail will be placed on he dome If the court house, and an elevation of 200 feet will be had, from which will be set four lights of 3Q0J candle power each, guaranteed to abundantly illuminate mile in di- amcter.-[ Press telegram.
 Our pueblo parents must soon take into consideration practical means of furnishing Tucson with light and wa ter. The strides that our city has made during the past six months will in less than a year make these i'm proyements absolutely necessary. In regard 10 light, we fear that gas would be found too expensive for practical use for some time 10 come, and we suggest that an effort be made by the City Council 10 ascertain the fucts relative 10 the cost, etc, of the electric light for municipal purposes. The fact llat Tucson is composed of one-story build 'ngs would render such means of lighting the streets much easier.

Mexican Railways.

From the Diario Official of the 29th ult, published at the City oi Mexico, and kindly furnished us by Mr. Carlos VelaSco, editor Of Fl Front crizo, We gather the following inter- esung intelligence concerning he prog ess of railway construction in our neighboring Republic:
 The works on the Pachuca and Tu- lancingo RaIlroad Line go on with great activity.
 The works on the Central Railroad are progressing with great speed. l. k expected that on the 25lh Of Novem- hcT the track shall be laid to near lula, about 50 kilometres from this capital.
 The works of cmbankmcnts, etc., of the Sullivan Palmer Company are Co bggil within % very few days. They have already begun the opening of a tunnel at -7- Boquetes, near LlaDo de oalaz3r, on the Toad 10 Toluca.
 The completion of the llne between Merida and Frosieso (Yucatan) is very near at hand. They are on the eve of receiving from Europe two lu- comouyes of great power, freight and passenger cars, and some other ma leriais and liXings; and when received, tue Toad will be open Co traffic.
 According tO El COrreO uel Pacitico, published ai Auzatlan, the works on the Sonora Rlilroai are much ad Q vanced; Inc embaukmentS are com pleied for nIne miles towards Hermo- sIllo. The company have received, by several ships from San Francisco, carg"es of timber for the erection ol woi .Ops, etc. and large cargo ot rails was daily expected from Belgium.

One Capt. Tom Dates, d man known throughout the mining regions pf the West, was on the wifi ness-stand, and one of the lawyers, in cross-cXamluation, asked:
 You are mining expert, Mir. Baies?'
 No, sir; I am not" was the answer.
 " Did 1 not understand you 10 say that you had visited and inspected most of the known mines of the Wrst?"
 ." You did, ST."
 " And have you not made mining a study for years?"
 "I have, sir"
 Well, then. please state to tEe Court your definition of a mining expert.
 Well, sir, mining-expcrt is a man who wears eyeglasses, parts his hair in the middle, has graduated at Freiberg, aud speaks d-d bad English"

Misery and IYnnlin Eussia.

WASHINGTON. November G.-The Minister of the United States at St. Peters burg in a recent dispatch draw- gloomy picture of The present econ omic and social condition of Russia. The grain crop ot the past season, he states, has proved failure, and American wheat is imported now even at St. Petersburg. Il is also entering at Odessa and other Russian ports. But a large market for thIs American wheat cannot be predicted, as very little bread made of wheat is used lu Russia: the mass Of the people must have d cheaper and cnurser article, such as rye or Indian curr. The scarcity of grain in the Empire is SD great that it was currently reported and generally believed hat the lm- perial Government was considering the prOpriety of prohibiting the eX- portation of rye. There will be much suffering among inc poor classes. Mir. Foster, the Minister, in his dis patch quotes the GOlos of St. Peters burg as follows From all sides comes news of the harvest being be- low the average; of want and hunger, from which will sprlrg disease and very likely death. Beetles, worms and locusls are eating up he corn the diminution Of cattle s. rpasscs all belief; diphtherla is taking oH the coming generation; breadstuis have already reached D kopecks per pound: Every one feels that Russia uoes moi subsist by the produce of Its own land, but is wasting its capital on cuuiug wood. selling surplus cattle, pul'iug straw from it's matched roofs and de- rIiviug itself Of it's very clothes and shoes 20
