Remarkable Types of Women.

The remarkable types of NihIlist wo- men ,re well known. Vera Sassulitch, whose shot inaugurated terrorism, was the most modest of her sex. In the courtroom she blushed when she per ceIved any one staring at her. Lydia Figner, charming lady and an accom- plIshed singer, got her eight years in the Siberian mines by sitting in the parlor playing the piano for weary hours. try ing to drown the noise made by the se- cret printing press in the next room. Anna Lebedeff, priests daughter, in the disguise Of wife of a svitchman, lived in a watch house on the railroad, and was found on box filled with dy- namite, chatting with the sxitchman.

Snn Carlos.

A correspondent of the PheniI Herald gives the following general description of San Carlos and affairs st that place:
 "rhis reservation is situated about B miles from Globe City, and on low plateau. At the base of the plateau and m the valley lies a vast area of good farming land The low hills III the pack ground make 1t a beautiful location. The entire reservation would make a lovely park for a nObleman. The natural seen cry, together with its picturesque l"ca- ton, making 1t one of the finest tracts in the Territory. The reservation IS about sixty miles square.
 Farming ls carried on to a considera- ble extent. Last year 1000 acres were farmed, and the agent says that 20,O00 acres can he irrigated and tiled. The Indians are made to do all the work On the reservation. There are 25 new wagons here tO be sold to the Indians. Also a new thresher stands ready for work as soon as needed. The agency was founded in 1874, and there are now j,OOO Indians. Col Tiffany is the present agent, and from all appearances Is good man for the place. All business transacted here seems to be done in proper form. The agency builiing with issue house and corrals cost S1l 800

NE. \. J. WATKISs, former y editor of 5he Journal in tlis city, Is now connect ed with the Baltimore American. In 0 recent issue Of that paper Mr Watkins expresses the following sentiments rel ative to the execution ol the Indian scouts, who were hanged at Fort Grant on the Sd instant:
 '-CoincIdynt with the announcement ,i the day fixed for the execution iu Arr zUua of the Indian scouts, Skippy, Dan- iy Jim and Dead Shot, comes vail
 rom the agent at San C2rlus reserya- tiuu that the Government has not kept tnth with the other Indian prisoners, and the execution of the scouts before thelr accomplices III crime are tried, wIll probably lead tn an outbreak of the Apisches on the reservation. il Is time
 hat this nav kish nuhsense was ended. the cOEdr mued scouts were regularly
 u the employ of the United States Gov rrnment; they received mach better pay han the regular soldiers and their treat ment Was exceptionally good. In in- ,elIEeBce they were far ahead of the average Indian, and fully understood the responsibility cf their actions. At @ moment when the regular troops were endangered by rOvng bands of paches, ,he scouts ueacherously turned upon the men they were employed tO protect,
 and poured Q mmdrrOus volley into them. Some of the most gallant and accomplished officers in the army fell dead. It k for this that these scouts are to be executed on the Sd of March With the timely warning of Commissioner Tiffany there can be no excuse for an GprIsIng at the agency. He bmlded bet ter than he klew. A proper dIstribu- ton of troops in that locality will rem ter 1t impossible, and the prompt hang ing of Dandy Jim and his companions Uill furnish an example which is sadly needed In ArIzona to overawe the h. iIans, and show to the people of the Territory that the Government proposes ;o protect them in theTuture from these cut-thrOats.

SGorsr; afterwaTd he went to Kentucky and entered upon the active business of lift by becoming Professor of Mathematics ID the Western Military Institute, at Blue Llck Spring. During his residence there, he first met Miss Harriet Stan wood an accomplished young lady from Maine, who, after he had had experience as tutor for two years, induced him to remove to her native State. where he soon began to display those abilities which have since made him famous, and which have for years placed the leader ship of the Republican party of that section of the Union in his hands. Soon after his arrival in Maine, he married the lady just mentioned; and not long subsequently, embraced the profession of journalism, becoming, for a brief perIod, connected with the Portland Daily Advertiser. Upon relinquishiug his position on this publication, he settled m Augusta, and undertook the editOrship of the kennebec Journal; thencefOrward progressing steadily in both private and public estimation.
 In le5s, Mir. Blaine was elected a re- presentative of the Republican party Co tine State Legislature, where he speedily made his mark. From this time for yard his influence in the House and throughout the State became most pronounced, and so we'll assured, that he was called upon to serve for four ses- siOns, during the latter two of which he was Speaker of the House

TIE San Francisco Chronicle in point of enterprise stands high above every other newspaper on the Pacific Coast and when We consider the acknowledged ability and thoroughness Of the press of that city. the quality Of this merited need of praise can be better understood.

This is in addition to the vast amount Of regular news contained in that issue, a very large part of which Was transmitted to the paper by telegraph from special correspondents in all parts of the world. The Chronicle fully merits its wonder ful success as a news paper.

SHOCK RAISING

If. V. C. Land, one of the prominent ! cattie kings uf Nevadu, and who is now here, will leave for home tonight for tine purpose of completing arrangements for
 the transfeT of his entire cattle interests
 from the state named to this Territory, where be believes that as whole, cattle
 can be bred and fed the year through
 with less loss and a more profitable per
 centage than they can be elsewhere, not
 even excepting Texas where he says that the proportionate loss IS much great
 er than Is sustained here, as a man
 roay ride a range the whole day and not
 encounter a half dozen carcasses during
 the en ire time. Su;h immunity from
 loss IS notable, as cattle of other states suffer tH much greater extent.
 And it Is the opinion of Mr. Land that
 by improvement the cattle Of Arizona can be brought mp to a standard of value
 equal to that Of the more cold climates,
 where the fat is said to pack better on the animals. Other gentlemen are said to be Of the same behsf and in coniunc- ton with Ar. Land are preparing for a move this way. It Is not their intention to bring any of their Nevada stock to this place. but to sell their entir0 herds, then buy caittle here and improve on them. Mr. Land has already made several purchases, the last one being made this morning of about four hun dred COWS and calves from Mr. Don San
 ford, on the Sonoita. whose sheep he, ID conjunction with Mr. Hays, has also bought. 4 prOpositI )n Is on foot to pnr- chase an extensive tract of land near the old San BernardIno ranch and by an equal division of expenses maintain an armed force sufficient to protect their in- dividual and combined interests against any aud all maraudcrs. The prime movers in the affair are MT. Land and J R. Brad Icy who own between them about 27,0OO head aud who will in due time enter in- to the cattle business in this Territory, even more largely than they have done in the State of Nevada, where the indi- vidusl interests oi Mr. Bradley alone are said to be about l7,0O0 head. This movement, inaugurated by them on So extensive a scale will attract the atten- ton of other men engaged in like busi ness and Arizona, now already growing so famous for it's mineral wealth will also be known as one of the great cattle pro- ducing territories O. the west. Our grasses are ab Indant and exceedingly nutritious, cattle thriving on them the entire year. The difficulty heretofore encountered has been tho lack of water, a defect winch will in due time be rem edied by the sinking of sufficient wells to supply all existing demands.

IMPORTANT RULING.

Representative Hewitt, of New York, Isked the Commissioner of the General Land Office: "Will entries made in good faith as homestead be protected fl after entry Is made coal should be discovered upon the entry?" Tue Commissioner 'ays: Coal lands are mineral lands, put in 80 far as patented homestead en- tries made in good faith and upon which there was no coal known to exist at the time of making final proof, answer yes. In using the word final proof instead of entry as appears in the interrogatory, wish to be understood that even in pat ented homestead entrIes where the entry was made in good faith. a subsequent finding of valuable mineral on the land prior to the homestead claimant making final proof, an entry would prevent him from truthfully making the proof re. Iuired, and false swearing would make voidable the patent when issued. But, that in case of the discovery of mineral being made subsequent to the making of the final proof the patent would not be vacated on grounds of fraud Tn con- cealing the true character of. the tract" USPArENTED HOMESTEAD ENTRIES MADE
 IS GOOD FAITH.
 Tt has frequently been held by this iffice that lands discovered to contain valuable mineral deposits after same has been entered as agricultural, but before a patent has been issued, afe 'ubject to mineral location and entry, and the agricultural entry will be can celed."
