ANeM RnnnnLn.

The Northwest, region full of sur prises, has broken out Tn fresh spot, St. Paul has discovered that 1t is bot toned upon solid bed of magnetic irOu-the most valuable, because 1t Is the rarest, of all the qualities of that metal. The brief dispatches annOunc- ing this discovery were not sufficiently explicit and detailed to show the real importance of the discovery, which seefns to have been purely accidental; but the s.. Paul papers just at hand give columns Of particulars, including reports of chemmcal analyses, which opens up prospect of huge profits. It appears that contractors boring an ar- tesian well on the premises of the St. Paul Harvester Works struck with their drills at depth of j60 feet hard sub stance, which proved still harder as 1t advanced, until the contractor was on the point of giving up the job m de- spalr of finding water. Examination revealed the presence of a large per centage of iron in the matter brought up. The work was continued till the drill had penetrated to a depth of 42 feet through this hard deposit, nearly 600 feet below the surface, growing richer and richer in irDn as the depth increased. Then the chemist went to work, and their reports have driven S. Paul wild because nobody yet knows how far the deposit extends, and the proves to be the same kind which this country has long been compelled to i'm port for the production of the finest qualities of steel.

\ Hnrll Life.

An Italian peasant has written a work called "The Voice of a Peasant, % describing the hardships of his class, which IS attracting attention from the European press, and may lead to im- portant results. Here IS his picture of the agricultural laborer: Imagine that 1t IS in the middle of the winter. The peasants must be in the fields at sun rise, and after four or five hours of fatiguing work, he Is permitted to re- pose and refresh himself for a short hour. Seated on a stone, or the naked earth, he takes from a basket or cloth few slices of badly cooked polenta, and warns them at an improvised fire, together with bit of rancid herring, and with this miserable food recuper- ates his exhausted strength. At times he varies the diet, eating his pOlenta with few drIed figs, or a mOldy crust of cheese, or four small pickled fishes, or few edible snails, or a pair of frogs cooked in stuff that is sold for olive oil, but Is nothing more than unwhOle- some and sinking grease The even ing meal is no more inviting, cOmpris- ing a few leaves of lettuce, scanty quality of oil and vinegar, or instead a herring, little bread, an apple, or rad ish, onions, garlic, or something of the sort.

The Markets of Irkutsk.

The markets of Irkutsk are an inter esting sight in the winter time. for everything on sale IS frozen solid. Fish are piled up in stacks like so much cord wood, and meat likewise. All kinds of fowl are similarly frozen and piled up, many of them being stuck mp in corners in fanciful attitudes. Some animals brought into the market whole are propped up on their legs and have the appearance of being actually alive, and as you go through the markets you seem to he surrounded by living pigs, sheep, oxen and fowl standing up and watching you as though you were visitor tO the bHrnyard. You can scarcely realize that they are dead su natural and lifelike do thoy appear
 But stranger yet. even the liquids are frozen solid and sold in blocks. Milk Is frozen into a block in this way, with a string or a stick frozen into or pro jecting from 1t. This Is for the con- venIence ot the purchaser. who can take his milk by the string or stick and carry 1t home, swung across the shoulder There IS no need for milk cans or pails tO take to market in Irkutsk. Other liquids are sold in the same way, and SO. in a double sense. such as IS unknown in other countries, a man can buy his drink with stick in it."

The ResnIt in Maine.

Mir. Blaine has succeeded in retriev- | ing some of the prestige that he lost
 lately. He has placed Maine once more | m the column of certain Republican
 States. No matter how he did it; be
 has done 1t, and the result will be entirely to his personal advantage, even though 1t guarantees a Republican sue cessOr to Mir. Frye in the Senate and increases the Republican strength in
 the House by one. He has shown his supporters throughout the country that
 Ils hand has not lost its cunning and that his ambition for the Presidency is not laid.
 The result of this election IS im- portant from another point than that of NIT. Blaine's personal prospects. It shows that, instead of having gained in popular strength during the past two years, both the Democrats and Green packers have lost, and that the Re- publican party is tolerably certain of electing it's Presidential candidate in 1884. It IS true that Maine IS not a large State. and t,si C is not exactly in the full current of opinion in the Union, but it IS sufficiently SO to be taken as an index of the bend of that current.
 In the Western elections this fall the probabilities are that the Republican party will lose somewhat. owing to its alliance with the Prohibitionists, but this loss will be repaired as soon as the cause is removed. In Maine. while .hvrs vvas some discontaqt wifI. E-si0.. State Administration, the voters who decided the election were mainly in- fuenced by national considerations. It is to the collapse of the Greenback craze and the consequent return of the Republicans to the party fold that yesterdays result IS due. NIT. Blaine IS to be congratulated on his successful forcing of general questions to the front in his home domain Graphic.

 Col. J. l.. Driskill Of Austin, Texas, and the great West, was in town last week and made Us pleasant call. He owns two of the largest ranches in the West and has on them 5000 head of cattle. Colonel Driskill has for many years pinned his faith to the short horn, and has nearly or quite 300 pure- blood bulls on hls two places. He has the fullest confidence in their utility and in the success of his herds by theIr use. He reports the range good and the cattle doing well. The Dodge City, Kansas, Globe chronicles the fact that lately J. L. Driskill < Son crossed the Arkansas river with fine herd of year lings, which they brought from theIr extensive stock range on the Clmarron, Clark county, Kansas, numbering be- tween $500 and 4,0O0 head, and which they were driving north to locate on range about sixty miles northwest Of Deadwood City, Dakota, where they propose to establish permanent range, which will be stocked with the best ot improved cattle The herd IS said to be the finest lot of yearlings ever seen together, but two prominent colors predominatlng, red and roan, showing the marked improvement over straight Texas cattle, and remarkable growth of yearlings. They are of uniform size, of good condition, and are the offspring from improved Texas cows, crossed with the best shorthon bulls that these gentlemen could buy. They have be- side these, on their range on the Cimar- ron, upward of 2OOOO, where they ex- pect to brand between 5000 and 5000 calves, the increase of their herd for 1SS9

4 NUMBER of capitalists will arrive in Arizona soon to examine and invest in
 mines. The reported Indian troubles have frightened some of the timid ones away, but as they become posted and learn that the Indian depredations only extend over limited portion of the Territory, and that most of the Territory ls as free from hostile Indians as any of the States, they have taken courage and concluded to come out and see how the land lies. It now looks as though We were gong to have quite a little boom n mines during the coming fall and winter. Colorado has had her "big ex- position" and will, no doubt, be largely benefited by it; but Arizona has not failed to attract attention with her splendid show of rich minerals, and those who have money to invest in mines have made up their minds that they must first see some ot the proper ties where those rich ores came from.

AN EETERPRIsIEG MAN

Everyone who knows Col. Sykes will recognize his great industry and perse- verance. There is perhaps no man in this section of the country who has worked so hard to advance the mate rial interest of this section of Arizona than Col. Sykes. He has for years been engaged in developiI ? the mining in- terost Of Pima county, and while he has not succeeded as some more fortunate companies in other sections of Arizona, in developing fabulously rich mines, he has honestly expended a large amount money in our midst and We are glad to learn that some of his mines are very promising.
 He has not contented himslf with mining alone, but has interested him. self to secure the construction of a rail road from Tucson to Calabasas, which will be built during the coming season.

He has also perfected the title to inc Calabasas ranch, one of the finest agricultural and gazing ranches in the Territory, and se- cured capital with which to stock it. By another year he will have secured a large number Of cattle on this valua- ble ranch, so that the rich grasses which ized to the best advantage. By the ef- forts of Col Sykes the taxable proper tv of the county will be increased many thousands of dollars, and it affords us pleasure to know that the Colonel will reap his reward for his lncessant labor, bis courage and perseverance.

HITHERTO comparatively few men have engaged in the business of stock raising in Arizona, notwithstanding 1t affords a greater return for the money invested than almost any other busi- ness. Some of the most solid men of Pima county have made their money in the stock business. There are scores of good stock ranches yet to be had in Pima county, where water can be ob- tanned by sinking wells, and We are pleased to learn that not a few of such available locations are being taken up. The cattle plant of southern Arizona will be largely increased during the coming season. Wyoming Territory, which few years ago was looked upon as a worthless country, Is now taking rank among the best of our Territories, and she owes it all to her rapid increase of stock. She now claims to have more cattle than Colorado, and leads all oth- CT Territories. We believe Arizona will be the next to come to the front with her numerous herds of cattle, which cannot fail to greatly advance the mate rial wealth of tine Territory.

SEEING THE SUN SET TWICE.
whA, Happened to q BaIIOonI.r in Eueaos

| Ayrcs.
 Prof. Wells, the ballOOnist, now in Cincinnati, relates the following expe- rience:
 q had made an ascent from Buenos Ayres with the intention to cross the
 thirty miles of the La Plata. When
 about twenty miles on my. journey l
 saw the sun set. At the same time the
 wind ceased, leaving me suspended over
 the water. Whenever my balloon lost
 it's force I descended gradually near the
 water, then 1 threw out some sand and rose again, continuing to do so until
 my ballast was gone. then cut away
 one anchor, and later another until 1
 had only my car left. Something must
 be done and that quickly. And not
 wishing to remain in the car in the water al that night, and perhaps float out tO sea, l concluded to cut the car away.
 Putting on my life belt and securing a gas bag to the hoop, placed myself on the hoop and cut off all the cords which held the car Instantly my balloon mounted SO rapidly that 1 soon saw the lately set sun rising above the horizon in the west instead of in the east. It was a glorious transfguration of nature. The earth was now covered with dark ness, while the golden rays ot the sun shining upon the balloon which had 1 been recently vanished, caused 1t to l -Puear like an astaroid tQ the nennla on ] the western shore of the La Plata, who | were anxiously watching it.
 "How did you wind up the trip:'
 By beng dragged twenty miles through the water, mp the river, and finally landing on shore, losing my balloon which 1 never heard of again, making my way to a rancher's house, getting hot supper and playing a couple of games of chess before going to bed.'
 What are your future plansf'
 "I am anxious to attempt a trip either across the continent or to the North Pole. am willing tO give Sl,OOO to- wards the construction of an aerial machine, which shall not cost more than Sj,000 It will be built on the ,igar-shaped model, after the plan of the one 1 built for the French Govern nent, and shall carry in the car ten horse power engine, to run a screw wheel for propulsion when the wind Is not favorable. The balloon shall be filled with gas, made by passing steam through red hot pipes, after a method demonstrated successfully by myself md others"

The Pnna,s nnnrIers-

The latest news from Rome Is to the effect thRt the Pope Is not SO well as usual this summer, but then that IS an old story. He seems to feel the heat greatly, and this IS quite likely the ex- tent of his new ailments. Rome, unlike Naples, IS not a delightful place for a summer residence. Very little air stirs within its walls The streets are mar TOW, and in July and August the nights are fairly sufTOcating. The Piazza Col Onna Is almost the only evening resort, and as that is m the city, and accessible to everybody, 1t IS thronged for hours, SO that people are really not much more comfortable there than in their own abOdes. Every season there IS talk about keeping the Piucio open all night, but the reform is never instituted, be- cause. as 1t Is alleged, the night air in that open space IS injurious. Pope Leo is really more favorably situated than the rest of the city. He has thousands of rooms in the palace, always accessi- ble, besides the Vatican gardens.
