From Altar a branch road is prniected to a junction with the South ern Pacific road at Tucson, as a portion of the net work of railroads through the great mineral region of Southern Ari- Zona.
 To speak of the many natural resources that such a road would speedily develop would consume more space than Is at present at our disposal; but it can be stated that the field has been carefully examined and reported dupon, and the in- ducements for the construction of the road have been found satisfactory in every respect, and url5ss some unforeseen -s---Sine,-l>sne difficulties are met the road will be in practical operation within three years from this date as one of the most important and prosperous lines on the Pacific Coast.

The Rochester Union says: "The re- cords of surgery contain few cases more likely to make the reader shudder than the story We are about to relate. \ resident Of this city was working in Chi cacO three years ago, and placing more confidence than was due m the cleanli- ucss uf Chicago barber, | . contracted that loathsome disease known as bar bcr's itch.

\ NOyin. Mountain,

X recent Geneva dispatch to the Lon don Times says: Acting on reports from Elm that the symptoms displayed by the Ischingel Alp were agaIn very dlsqulet- ing and ominOus of impending danger, the Government of Glaurus few days ago requested Professor Aiini tJ make another inspection of the mountain, for which the present splendid weather Of- fers every facility. The Professor ac- cordingly visited the place, accompanied by a member of the Government. He found the mountain in movement in the direction which he had expected and foretold, though its dissolution is pro- ceeding much more rapidly than he had thought likely. Rocks continue Co fall from the east side, the crevices are widening, and great rift extends from the top of Risi kOpf tO the bottom. The lower part of this section of the lschin- gel Is firm, but the upper part Is inciin- ing and moving toward Elm, which the Professor considers to be m as great danger as ever. though the people of the valley are fully aware Of the peril by which they are threatened, and most of them believe that the village Is destined to utter destruction, they cannot be per suaded to seek new homes. They think that the final catastrophe may not come to pass before the spring, and that when it does befall, the watch they keep, sen tiuels being posted day and night on ya- rious points of the mountain, vii! enable them to escape in time. A proposal has been made to build new village further up the valley, where a mineral spring Is believed to exist, and make 1t into q Wal tering and show place, but there is not much probability of the idea being car ried out.

eUITEAUs PROCLAMATION.

The assassin Guiteau, in carrying out his line of defense. has given the public & Christmas address in which he re- bearsos the old story of his crime. its cause, and his sinspiration theory. Among his hideous claims he says:
 q, of all the world, was the only man who had authority from the Deity, Without the Deity's pressure I never have sought to remove the Presj- ,lent This pressure destroyed my free agency; the Deity compelled me to do the act, just as highwayman compels a 1naa to give up his money after putting a pistol d his victims head. The victim may know 1t IS absolutely wrong for him 10 give up the money; that his wife and children need it, but how can he keep it with the pistol at his head. His free agency IS destroyed, and he gives his money to save his life. This irresistible pressure to remove the President was on me for thirty days, and 1t never left me when awake. IL haunted me day and night. At last an opportunity came, and ] shot him in the Baltimore d Potomac depot. is soon as l fired the shot the Inspiration was worked ofl, and l felt

It is the same pressure tLat impels the highway man to place a pistol 5o the head of his victim; the pressure that moves every law-breal1er who deliberately commits a crime. In the case Of Guiteau the in- spiration to crime proceeded from two ordinary sOurces-revenge, and love of notoriety. Having achieved both, his "inspiraGon is worked off" On the frontier the assassin would have made his mark as a cowboy were he less am bitious and more courageous. He boast ingly asserts that he is under the pro- tecting care of Providence who will shield him from harm, vet Ee cringes from fear when exposed for a moment to apossible opportunity for an averaging bullet.
 Judge Cox has shown 8 disposition to accord the prisoner a greater latitude in the trial than is usual in criminal courts, for which be has received much censure. He undoubtedly not only desires that in the future no question shall arise upon the impartiality of the trial, but believes that by giving the culprit sufficient rope he will hang himself IT he does not perform this feat satisfactorily, it is pos sible that some one may save him the rOuble and furnish the rope also.

The Successor Of Chm Lan Pin welcomed b the
 Capital

WASHINGTON, December g Cheng Tsao Ju, the new Chinese Minister to the United States, successor to Chin Ian Pin, arrived at the Baltimore and Puto- mac depot at half-past twelve to-day. The Minister was accompanied by his wife-the first Chinese lady of rank who has ever visited this couutry-and suite, including Chin Chi Young, chief inter preter; Since Shang Pang, secretary. and tive I've attaches or legation and eleven seryiaits.
 Mir. D. w. Bartlett, secretary of the former Chinese Legation, met the party at the depot. Upon arrival they were drive en to the Arlingtuu lHOuse, twelve or fourteen carriages having been se- cured for the purpose. The entire lega- tion will live at the Arlington Hotel about three weeks and at the end of that time they expect to be able to occupy their permanent quarters, which are now being fitted up. The Minister and wife occupy the suite of rooms which were used by the Grand Duke Alexis while in thls city, comprising parlor, private din- ing room and chambers. Adjoining the Ministers apartments are those occu- pied by the attaches of the legation, als - comprising parlors, dining room, qao chamDers- A thlrd dlnIp hd chambers iRleeifian Reeiffiia addressG5 room and at the stoufa been appropriately ar fds.stse.. for the accommodation of the servants The Ministers rooms are ap- propriately furnished blue satin and the furniture is entirely new, having been purchased for the occasion Upon arriving at the Arlington Hotel the party were received by Proprietor Roessle and conducted to his private parlors, where Ex-Minister Chin Lan Pin and his sccre- tary, Yung Wing, formally received them. Brief remarks in their native tongue were exchanged, after which the new Minister and members of the lega- tion retired to their respective apart ments and Chin Ian Pin and Yung Wing retired to their residence.
 The new Minister Is tifty-eight or sixty years of ags, of rather portly build, and has a very intelligent countenance. He comes of a noble family and most of his life has been passed in public service. He has held many hIgh positions in his native country. At present he supplies the position of Minister to Spain, Minis ter to Peru and Minister to the United States. It Is his intention to visit each of these countries once a yeIr. Cheng Tsao Ju is the highest in rank of any Chinaman who has ever before visited this country, being am ambassador of the highest or first degree. The Chinese Consul General to Cuba, Ian Leong Yuen, arrived at the Arlington Hotel yesterday, having come for the purpose of paying his respects to the newly ap- pointed Minister. Ex-Minister Chin Ian Pin will leave Washington on his way to China on Wednesday next.
 The wife of the Minister is quite at tractive, having very fair complexion and black hair and eyes. The only GOV erino which she wore on her head to-day was a large bunch of gay-colored flow CTS. She is small in stature and appar- ently about twenty-five years of age. The lady was accompanied by her maid.

He didn't seem to be easy in his mind, and he kept his eyes on the cofee-pot once owned by the poet Milton, instead of facing the President. "Brudder Hen derSou, you war in a butcher shop on BeaubIn street las Wednesday fO'nCOn?' "Ycs, sah.' When you went out de butcher missed two slices of ham, an you var followed all 5earched.' "Yos, sah. In one ot yO' coat-tail pockets dey found, not the two slices of ham, but pound and Lalf of beef" "Yes, sah.' You couldn't tell whar you got dat beef to save your life, and tell de butcher to keep it." "Yes, sab; but de charge was stealth ham" "Jist SO, Brudder Henderson, jist so.

Near Cirmarron, ssas= Mexico. the
 Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad passes for a considerable distance
 through the Maxwell ranch, which con- tains 1,700,00O acres Of land. This mag nificent property was acquired by the man whose name it now bears, first, by marriage with one of the heirs, and then by purchase of the interests of the CO., heirs. The ranch Is now owned by an English company who are at present en- gagged in building a fence around its en- tire area. They propose to devote 1t to the raising Of blooded stock-horses and neat cattle To that end they have al- ready sent number of blooded ami mals from England. Among the stock that has arrived at the ranch are the eel e5rated racing stallion Uhlan and twen- ty-three thoroughbred mares, all with foal to famous English flyers. The fact that this stock Is now in New Mexico accounts, perhaps, for the offers of cer- tain well-known English turfmen, just after the brilliant victories of the Amer ican horses Ir0quois and Foxhall, tO bet that winner of the Derby, Tn the near future. would be bred in New Mexico. Grand preparations have been made for the comfort of these aristocTatic scions Of the turf \ corral 2O0 feet square. sur rounded by an adobe wall on the inner side of which spacious box stalls have been erected, has been prepared for their exercise and housing, and large retinue of trained grooms provided to see that they want for no attention nec- essary to assure them and their progeny proper care. When all the contemplat- ed arrangements are completed, the Maxwell ranch will not only be the largest but the best appointed stock farm in the world, and we have DO doubt but that the boast of the projectors that many winners of future Derbys will be bred in New Mexico-will be real iZed.-Los Angeles Herald.
