An Extraordinary Offer.

There are a number of persons out of employment in every county-yet energetic men, willing to work, do rot need to be. Those willing to work can make frem $100 to $500 g month clear, working for us in a pleasant and permanent business The amount our agents make varies, some making as high as $500 a month, while others make as low as S100-all depending on the energy of the agent. We have an article of great merit. It should be sold to every House-owner and pays over 100 per cent profit. Each sale is rfrom $3.5o to $10.00. One agent in Pennsylvania sold 32 in two days, and cleared S64 %. An agent in New York made $45.00 in ope day. Any man with energy enough to work a full day, and will do this a full year, can make from $2 0Go ct S6,0o0 8 year. We only want one man in each county and to him will give the exclusive sale as long as he continues to work faithfully for us. There is no competition, and nothing like our invention made. Parties having from $200 to S1,000 to invest can obtain General Agency for ten counties or a state. Any one who can make an investment of from S25 to $1,000, without the least risk fo loss, as our Circulars will show that those investing $25 can after 30 days trial return the goods unsol d to us and get their money back, if they do not clear at least $100. They show that General Agent who will take ten counties and invest S216.OO can after trial of 90 days return all goods unsold to us, and have money returned to them if they fail to clear at least $750.O0 in that time. We are not paying salaries, bat want men willing to work and obtain as their pay the profits of their energy. Men not willing to work on our terms will not work on any. Those medning business will receive our large descriptive circular and extra. ordinary offer by enclosing a three cent stamp, with their address. Fhe first to comply with our terms will secure the county or counties they may wish to work. Address

ARIZONA AS IT Is.
An Interview with Ex-TerritO-
 rial Secretary GOsDer.


 rial Secretary GOsper.
 For some days past the Hon. John J. Gosper, Territorial Secretary of Arizona, has been stopping at the Baldwin, OF a flying visit to Cali fernfa. The gentleman has been intimately connected with the politi- cal and commercial life of Arizona since 1877, and in conversation with Chronicle reporter yesterday spoke very highly of the prospects of Arizona. "I have determined to make my home there" he said. Like all who have moved into the Territory in the last few years, 1 intended to return to California as soon as I should have made my stake; but I have different ideas and intend te remain. The country is rich and growing. It's resources are discovered to be more ample than at first supposed, from year to year, and, as consequence, the popula- tion is becoming more settled. A large amotint of capital is finding g pod investment, and I am only sorry that the California capitalists have been so slow to seize upon the field which lay open to them. East ern moneyed men have locked upon the Territory with much more favor from the beginning, to the detri- ment of California, which lost much of our trade in consequence. Still, the people nurse the sentim ent that they belong to the Pacific coast, and the feeling that San Francisco is our market is daily growing I pleases me much to be able to say that your business men, who have so long looked upon the Territory

CHICKEN THIEVES Mr.. G. D. Bu-
cher. of BartonsviIle, has been having
"some fun" with a couple of 'Ameri-
can citiz.ns of African descent in
that neighborhood On Wednesday
night last his peaceful slumber was
disturbed by hearing an unusual noise
in his hen house, and on going to see
what cansed the commotion, discover
ed two colored men in the house afore-
said helping themselves to that kind
of TODD which from time INN emorial
has been considered AS fit only for the
parson. They had already wrnng the
necks of four of them, when Mr.. B.
came suddenlyupon them and demand
ed stay Of proceeding One of
them stayed, but the other, with no very
staid steps, succeeded in making his
escape. The one who remained drew
a revolver and threatened to fire on
i Mr.. Bucher IL he arpfoaciIed him
Mr.. B. was unarmed, but having a
care in his hand he undaintedly pre-
sented it at the colored man and de.
nanded an unconditional surrender
The thief, supposiug it to be Il gun
Immediately cap.tulAted, and now
finds himself incarcerated in the VIM
chester Jail, with nothing but bread
and water for his diet. Oar chickes
ihieves-if we have any-can deduct
their own moral from the foregoing
| foul proceedings.
