CORRECTING HfNto Y.


What i commonly called history
is, for the most part, highly uniclia-
BILE fiction. We have not the space
or time even to mention the histori-
cal lies that have been exploded by
documentary evidence of late years.
The case of Joan of Arc is one that
is to the point. For more than 5000
years everybody who has read his
tory has shed silent tear over that
heroic but otherwise respectable fe-
male person. She was supposed to
have been burned at the stake by
the English after they had captured
her. a few years ago some ancient
archives were discovered that let the
English out, so to speak. II they
burned her at the stake, they must
have done it very carcle sly, for
there can he no doubt but that the
Maid of Orleans, subsequently 10
her being burned to ashes at the
stake, married young gentleman,
and she finally died after raising a
larg,. family. There is, however, in
ever bushel OF chaff few grams If
wheat, and so it is in this case. We
have silted the matter thoroughly,
and find thst such woman did
really exist. but the fact is, the sc
Las become distorted by success i've
generations Of systematic liars.
Joan dare was woman who was
married to an Englishmsn named
John Dark, who was very particular
about his cooking. Mrs. John Dark
used to take a great deal of interest
lin politics, and while. cooking
breakfast, she used TO read the pa
pers, and the consequence was that
she burnt the steak, and her husband
nearly killed her for her careless
ness several times. William Tell is
another fraud who has been u
earlhed of late years He was
fraud because he never existed, just
as Gessler never existed, so say the
records \ few years ago, some
fellow who WAS good shot Travelled
all over Switzerland, giving ex-
hibitions of his ability to she OF APP
pies of his soa's head, kind of q
Swiss DR.. Carver, charging fifty
cents admission; children and cler-
gymen half price Whenever he
maze good shot, the people would
call out: "Do tclli' All the rest

The Introduction of Carp.

The fish commissioners for this
Territory are making an effort TO
introduce carp into the principal
streams. They have promise of
n quantity of these valuable fish
from the California fish commission,
through Mr.. r. B. ReddIng. Hatch
ing will soon be in progress, and the
1sh will arrive IN month or six
weeks- The carp is a very prolific
fish and exceedingly valuable for
food. That they will thrive we'll in
this climate, there is but little doubt.
Mr.. Pearson, in the vicinity of
Pres, OF. drained pond a few
weeks since in which he had placed
eighty young carp about year ago,
the largest not being over an inch
long, and was surprise to find that
they had increased TO several thou
sands and that the largest was near
lY foot in length.

Our Products.

A few days since we had the pea
sure of visit to the ranch of Mr..
Meador, in the edge of town, where
we found that intelligent gentleman
busy with fruit and farm work.
Like the farm of Mr- Balsz Mr..
Meador's place is peculiarly adapted
to fruit raising. This season he is
attempting to save what he can of
his fruit crop by drying and canning
And, by the way, he showed us
method of his own Tor pearing
peaches for canning purposes which
surprised us with its simplicity and
effectiveness He sim ply places them
in q sheet ircn cylinder about two
fee. long with Tugs attached to one
end and half zach holes punched in
the sides of the cylinder, about half
the length upward from the bottom
Putting his peaches into this with
the skins on he dips the cylinder
into a solution of very weak I've for
a very short time and then filling
witle cold water he siiFs the peaches
with a stick and the skins slough Oft
readily and completely, AID float
out through the orifiees with the
water, leaving he peaches clean and
bare.
Mr.. NJ, ador has a'so cultivated
considerable amount of sorghum,
and last year succeeded in producing
some fine syrup. He will continue
the enterprise this season. He has
also some handsome stock of fine
blood He is surrou nded by every
thing conducive to pleasant ana
prosperous home. and will probably
soon find his ranch of a quarter sec
ton to be little for tune on his

The stage was robbed four mil g
from Globe on The 23rd inst, AMI
DR.. Vail and Mr. Hall were cruelty
murdered by the. robbers. Two of
the murdcrers were hunted down
snd taken back to Globe by Mr.
Gabriel and large posse of citizens
of Globe, who started of TO capture
the bandits. As soon as The muir
derers got to Globe the citizens en-
masse took possession Of them and
succeeded in forcing them to con-
fess their horrid deed. They were
then taken without fur her cere-
nony to tree liz the street and

finally succumbed to his fate. They

The Courier says the Her
AID "pretends to be support
ing Judge Porter for Con-
gress." There is no pretense
about it; we are supporting
Judge Porter. We mean to
continue to support Judge
Porter because we believe him
to be much the ablest man Of
the two who are presented fer
Congressional honors; because
he represents the liberal pro
gressive elements of American
government; because we be-
lieve he can do something for
our Territory in Congress; be-
cause the other candidate has
had q chance and has done
nothing; because he has no
influence in Congress, which
he honestly Acknowledges; and
because he represents a retard-
ing and politically demoraliz-
ing element in the history Of
our Government. We are only
astonished that IS wide-awake
and able a journal as the
Courier should be spending so
much of its valuable time and
energy in attempting to lift a
dead weight.

Great Production of Fruit

A few days since we had the
pleasure of ride out to the ranch
of D. Balsz, where we were pleased
and as.onished at the changes which
the last three years have reduced
on he place. In place of an open
defd of three years ago, we found an
rehatd of peach and pear trees
planted two years ago, the former
of which was bearing not here and
here pea II, but the trees were ut
terly crushed 10 the earth bv the
tremendo is loads of fruit that clus-
tered thick upon every limb. In
deed the orchard appeared as though
! cyclone had swept through it so
complete was the demoliti IN of the
slender branches. In an older or
chard the same astonishing sight
was visible though the trees were of
much larger size. 1t would prob
ably be safe to say that tons of fruit
are going to waste in these orchards
for want Of care. The crop was
so unexpected that Mr.. Balsz, who is
a new conner, was not prepared to
dispose of it; next year, ho, ever, he
will be prepared to take care of it.
He also has n line bearing vineyard,
from which we ate most delicious
grapes. Certainly we need not suf-
fer for fruit when it grows sponta-
neously when once the trees are
planted and then irrigated once in
a while. TIE available fruit grow
ing region of the Salt River Valley
would supply the city of New Y ork
with fruit the year round, and not
make much of an cffart either.
Scarcely family that owns lot in

fruit they wished if they would but
take the trouble to set out half
dozen trees i'll the back yard.

It seems that the Epifaph
and Courier cannot realize that
Judge Porter was not removed
but that he resigned after the
charges made against him were
ignored by the Department of
Justice, at Washington.
The aforesaid charges :"
seem to be the whole stock in
trade of the Democratic pa
pers, from which they manu-
facture campaign thunder
When it became known that
Judge Porter would resign,
those charges were maliciousIy
filed against him III the Attor-
ney-General's office for the
sole purpose of handieapping
and iniuring him in the event
of his candidacy for Congress
The charges were examined
into by the Attorney-General
and shelved by him. IL charges
made against an officer are well
founded, it has been the inva-
riable rule of the Department
of Justice not to accept that
officers resignation, but to re-
move him. Judge Porter's
resignation was accepted, and
the action of the Attorney
General is a sufficient refuta-
ton of this removal" Sian
der. U-hen Masterson, editor
Of the Democrat, was in Dash-
ington, he examined the charges
made against Judge Porter and
in the editorial columns OF his
paper declared them weak ami
groundless. II hat does the
Epltaph and Courier think Of
that? Hunt up something else

Farmers wives.

1t is an evident fact that farmers
wives are afflicted with many diseas-
cs which are the result of overwork
They are constantly on one ceaseless
routine of toll from daylight at
morning until late at night. No
change, no relaxation, no restl Farm
ers should note this fact, and be fore
warned before it is too late. IT is
astonishing what an amount of labor
the wives perform Many of them
get up and have breakfast ready be-
fore their husbands are out of bed
Then it is work, work, work, until
near midnight, their minds during
the Tins being occupied with their
their duties, md with thinking how
the food is to be supplied, when ihe
washing and ironing IS to be done,
when time can be spared to scrub
the floor, how the children are TO be
clothed and kept tidy, and innumer-
able other things not necessary to
mention, all of which combine to
'overwork and breah down the strong
est woman in the land. In no case
is it safe to be continuously thinking
upon any one thing. and in cases
where the brain has been weakened
by too great a strain upon it, thereby
producing insanity, epilepsy, verti-
go, hysj cries, female weakness, gen.
debility, and multitude of other
diseases, the remedy is Rest and

directly upon the nervous centers
and invigorates and strengths the
whole system. Many ladies have
refrained from using Samaritan Ner-
vine on account OF an existing prcju-
dice against advertised medicines.
Let us ask question: Are you
prejudiced against sewing machines
because you have seen them adver-
tiscd, or can you doubt the ingenui
ty and skill required in their inven
ton? Again, would you refuse to
insure your house because the COM
pany advertised that it had paid
millions of dollars in losses and get
had a capital of several mi lions
left? Do such advertisements shake
your confidence aad create preju-
dice? Then why refuse to credit the
testimony of those who have found
Samaritan Nervine to be all that is
claimed for it in overcoming those
ailments peculiar to your sex? The
following statement speaks for itself:
