terprise and management, Ari- zona can always equal the supply to the demand. She has her large area of grazing lands, and stock raising should and will yet be- come one of the important indusl tries of the Territory. Attention has been altogether gwen to mining, and this branch of indus try has almost been neglected as a business. California can no lon' ger depend upon Arizona for beef, for even to-day, some of our leading cattle dealers are prepar- ing 10 ship the broad-horned steers from Texas. This should not be, but, too true is.
The Arizona sentinel., 1881-07-02

Before another issue of this paper the one hundred and fifth anniversary of American Inde- pendence will have come and gone. We had hoped 10 have chronicled some active preparar tions on part of the people of Yu- ma for the celebration oi this day, but such Is not the case. Above all other days in the year, the Fourth of July is one, on which the people of every hamlet and village throughout the land should lay aside all their cares of business and forsake their politics and join in with their peans and hosanas for their liberty and blessing of a free Government for the one hundred and five years, past. From the infant to the Centanarian will al- most everywhere in our happy land mingle together on that day, tocommiserate the trials and suffer ings and to praise the heroic deeds of our fore-fathers. In Years past the people of Yuma always cele' brated that day, and why it is not done this year we do not know. but certainly, it cannot be from any lack of patriotism. We notice by our Territorial exchan. ges that, all the principal towns are preparing to celebrate, and we trust, that some of our patrio' tic and leading citizens will, at
 least, get up an impromptu cele- bration if nothing more.

Taxation of Mining Claims.

We have not enquired whether the assessors in other counties of the Territory are assessing min ing claims, and we venture the assertion that such is not the case, nor was it ever intended that they should be assessed as real estate " or listed as personal pro, perty. With all respect and due deference to the logical opinion" of the District Attorney or this matter, we beg to differ with him, as to the legality Of taxing min- ing claims and the interpretation of the statutes thereon.
 True, the fee is neither in the claimant nor occupant, but never theless, the. term real estate n carries with it mining claims of every description, and because by the provisions of an act by which lodes and placer claims are not deemed to be "real estate" for the purpose of taxation, in no wise by law or by intendment do they become "personal proper. ty."
 Tax the mining claim, sell it for delinquent taxes. then, how can you disPossess the occupant and convey a title to the purchas- CT, when the fee is still in the United States? Mining claims, unpatented, are alike to preempr tion and homestead claims before the patent, and from time to time has the Supreme Court Of Califor- mia passed upon the question of taxing these lands and the right of possession, and in every in- stance has decided that the im- provements and growing crops can only be assessed.
 The s. P. R. R. Co. own thou, sands acres of land along their miles in California and we will ask the District Attorney, who is also railroad Attorney, "have those lands been taxed, and if not why not": It is not because they have only s possessory right thereto?
 They have not applied for their patents and hold only by a pos sessery right, thus as is proper, avoiding the assessment, when they sell these lands, they Invar' iably give bonds for deeds, and not absolute ones. We trust that this matter on its inception will receive it's proper interpretation at the hands of the Supervisors and a rebuke to its assumption regardless of the discriminating opinion of the District Attorney as to rights of the humble piod ding miner and a wealthy corpor ation.

The Original PENNY.


The old, old penny in England, as in
other countries, was of silver, and it's
appearance throughout the earliest pc
Rod Of its history would rather astonish
those who know nothing of numismatic
lore. From the Saxon times, in which
it was the only piece of silver extant,
till those of Edward l. it was stamped
with square cross. This enabled the
coin to be readily broken into halves
or quarters, which then served the pur-
pose Of halfponce or farthings. But
the latter coin was not much inferior 10
the value Of the present English penny,
inasmuch as the unbroken piece was
valued at one-thirtieth of a mark, or
three-pence sterling. At this time five
of them seem to have made shilling,
SO that.the relations between what are
now chief English silver and bronze
coins have entirely altered in the course
of six centuries. King Edward. who re-
formed coinage, ike everything else.
was the first to issue pennies without
the indented cross; and to make up for
tho loss of the qucer-shaped half-pen.
MES and farthings hitherto in use, sup
plemented the silver coinage with cir
cular pieces. bearing the same value
and denomination. Ho fixed the stand
ard of the penny moreover, by ordering
that it should weigh thirty-two grains
Of woll-grown wheat or, which was
probably q more accurate test, that
twenty pennies should weigh hone ounce.

To Keep Very Shaded Places Green.


Germantown Telegraph.
Especially in the front yards of dwell
ings, both in town and country, which
are much shaded, we often sec the
ground completely bare, not living
thing being perccptible Sometimes
there are many nearly nude, struggling
limbs lying upon the ground OF very
near it, which are unsig Chilly and every
way worthless, that ought to be cut
away. This would give room there for
the growing of some plant or vine that
would be adapted to it, and which
would not only cover the naked spot
and make it Giving green" but
would be adding very much to the gen.
eral appearance of the premises. The
best vine for this purpose is undoubted-
ly the periwinkle. 1t will grow almost
anywhere in the shade if the proper at
tention is given to it, but not otherwise.
It is a beautiful vine, and will densely
cover the ground, producing nearly tho
whole season very pretty blue flower.
Weeds, however, are its deadly enc
mics. It cannot fight them. Steadily
they encroach until they drive away
our favorite and occupy the ground Of
battle. A little help now and then,
however, will defeat the common ene-
my, and allow US to enjoy the cool
looking, popular evergreen for many
years without renewal.

The Growth Of the Gun.

Hunting for game was practiced with
bow and arrow only until in the six.
teenth century the Spaniards contrived
the arquebus or matchbox. Here the
match was fitted to ':serpentine' or
cock, hung upon a pivot, and brought
into contact with the printing by
working substantially the same as that
of the modern hammer and trigger.
This was further improved by the Ger
man invention of o steel wheel with
serrated edge, fitted to spring, and
made to revolve rapidly, the edge COM

and by this friction producing the
sparks to ignite tho printing. The use
of the wheel lock for sporting purposes
was very general in the middle of the
sixteenth century, and for long time
was not improved upon.

first placed above tho Illuminating pow

sion of an iron plunger struck by q

with, and the illuminate was simply

steps arc familiar to almost all gunners:

The Political Situation i'm Virginia.

The action of the Virginia republican conven-
fion in not putting ticket in the field leaves to
members of that party the privilege of voting as
they please, or of not voting at all, as they may
prefer They owe no political obligation to the
canvass and may exercise their Judgment as
citizens in regard TO The tickets before them.
Gen. Wickham and those who have acted with
him have been striving to save the republican
party of the state from dsorganization. They
have succeeded in preventing republican en-
dorsement of ticket which is committed to
partial reputation.
The readjuster platform financially is the Rid
dleberger bin, which proposes to eliminate one
third of the state debt and reduce the interest
on the remainder by arbitrary action of the legis
lature. The creditors are not to have any voice
in the proposed settlement. The readjusters are
making their canvass mainly upon this issue.
They tell the people that Virginia is not able to
pay all OF her debt; therefore they will cut down
the amount to figures within the ability of the
state and at such interest as they choose to pay,
and offer that to the creditors. This Is bald re-
pudiatiOn. and there is no Disgusting the fact
Gen. Wickham. Representatives Joreensen
and DezendOrf. Major Yost. and the other Viz
gina republicans who have fought so persis-
tently against coalition, fully appreciate the
weight of the readjuster proposition. They
know that the success of ticket upon such Il
platform means the paralyZing of all the ma
terial interests of the state for the reason that
capital will not enter state which repudiates
her obligations

The irrepressible DR.. Hammond expresses the
opinion that truekman similarly wounded, and
treated in New York hospital, would receive
more energetic and successful treatment than
has been given to the head of the nation. Very.
likely as to the energetic part of the business.
II is too much of the habit of hospital doctors,
Is we all know, when they get a truckman or
other poor laboring man on a table under their
hands TO try all sorts of heroic and hazardous
experiments with him. Perhaps it is just as
Wei that the President happened to escape
