The tr..it which we cali s.hogg:shness''
seems to be shared by all animals, when
any opportunity is given for the strong
TO rob the weak. BTutes of the ape
family, at least are not above the exhi-
bition of cowardiy selfishness. The
Philadelphia Times sketches ssTopsy'
Molly" the two new ehimpanzees, eat
ing dinner at the Geological Garden in
that city:
No sooner had Topsy received her
banana than she took one bite out of it.
and then looking around, saw the baby
deyouring its portion of the fruit. Top
sy quietly took the remaining portion OF
her banana and stea.thily secreted it in
the hay on the bottom of the cage
Then turning, she walked up to the ba-
by and, in the rudest manner imagina-
Bile, snatched ont of its hands the below
ed morsel. and. cool1y turning to the
other side of the cage, began to eat 1t
with evident relish
The action of the baby chimpanzee
was more than ever calculated to justify
the Darwinian theory. With a pitiful
cry almost perfect in resemblance to the
human voice.. she got up and ran after
the old chimpanzee, reaching which she
touched her gently on the shoulder with
her hand.
This had no effect, as Iopsy kept on
eating the banana with an absorbing
satisfaction. The baby then with an
other cry went up further and placed its
little nose against TIE cheek of the ED
er chimpanzee, and with its wide, hazel
eyes full of reproach looked at the older
one.
Topsy, however, is anything but we'll
bred, and ate the banana up and then
went back and dug out her own from
the hay and began on that. The baby
followed her, not to make any forcibIe
demonstration. but simply to transfix
her selfish sister with her reproachful,
wonderfully expressive eyes
Topsy would have eaten the banana
and eveIytt ing else that belonged to the
meal had not the keeper interfered and
proceeded to teach her manners. lie
foreibly took the banana from her and
gave it to her sister, and then pointed
his finger at her to shame her. The eyes
of the little animal seemed to show thai
she felt her position strongly.

Our Agricultural, Intere SITS.

A few years ago, Arizona was
looked upon as being chiefly graz
ing and mining Territory. Whilst
those interests are proving valuable,
they are not, hswever, the only ones
1t has been demonstr lted that by
the proper and careful use of tho wa
ter known to sxist, there can be such
abundant hsrvests gathered, as to
equal if not exceed the yield of the
richest lands of such sta tes as Penn
sylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Iowa.
The valleys of Salt River, San Pc
dro, Santa Cruz, Verde, Gila, Colo
rado, Williamson, Big Chino, Little
Chino, Peoples, Skull, Kirkland,
Aqua Fria, Sacramento, Cullcn's,
Little Colorado, Round Valley, Hua-
lapaI, and others, have yet unappro-
prlated to use hundreds of thou
sands acres OF the richest sort Of
land which only await the irrigating
ditch and the plow, to make beauti-
ful farms and homes poSs1ole, ana
such returns as will give a fortune
IN few yrars to those who hereaf-
ter may use them.
There can hardly be named any of
the products known to the temperate
zone but that can be profitably
grown. Corn, wheat, barley and
oats are raised most successfully,
and is not uncommon for the yield
to reach 1000 pounds to the acre.
Of the grasses, alfalfa is the most
profitable, and as many as five crops
per year are gathered. OF fruits,
apples pears, peaches, plums and
aprico's are most prolific. Grapes,
figs, oranges, and lemons are we'll
suited to parts of our soil.-GoUern-
oy's Message.

The Texas Hog.

He is Of Swiss cottage style of
architecture. His physical outline
is angular to a degree unknown out
side of text book on the science of
geometry. The country razor back
prowls around in the woods and lives
on acorns, pecan nuts and roots;
when he can spare time he climbs
under his owners fence and assists
in harvesting the corn crop. In this
respect he is neighborly to fault,
and, when his duty to his owners
crop will allow, he will readily turn
in and assist the neighbors, even
working at night rather than see his
crop spoil for want Of attention.
Crossing the razor-back with the
blue-blooded stock makes but very
little improvement. The only effect
i've way to improve him is to cross
him with railway train. He then
becomes an imported Berkshire or
Poland-China hog, and if he docs
not knock the train off the track, the
railroad company pay for him al
the rate of 81 pound, for which
they are allowed the mournful privi-
lege of shoveling the remains off the
track. The ham of the country razor
back is more juicy than the hind leg
of an iron fire-dog. but not so fat as
a pine knot--Agrtcultswa5 Epttomtst.

TIE members of the Legislature
one and all seem determined that the
time shall not be wasted this winter
and are therefore making things
lively in various directions. Notes
Of numerous bills have been given
and they are in course of active pre-
psration. All OF them sre upon valu-
able and important points, and if
carefully drawn should greatly fscili-
tate public and private business mat
ters In the Territory The principal
danger is that bills will be carelessly
and loosely drawn and hastily passed
when they are likely to lead to more
difficulty than good, although their
intent may be ali right. Law max
ing cannot be too carefully done. A
little careless legislation may lead to
years Of troublesome litigation and
great costs to the people.

Red Rover has shown up remarkably
well in the quantity and quality of
its ore and has been frequently men
toned as very promising mine, and
we regard the sale as very favor
able one for the purchaser, and a
business like transaction on the part
of the late proprietors who have put
the mine at such price that mining
men could afford to take hold of it
and assist in the development of the
vast region of mining country in
which it is located. Should the mine
turn out to be worth ten times as
much as paid for it the late propris-
tors will lose nothing by having the
property developed and their other
claims brought out. The purchaser
is Mr.. N. c. Fawcett of San Fran
cisco.

THERE is q considerable section OF
ths southern portion of YGvapGi
county that would be vory greatly
accommodated, So far as business
affairs are concerned, were it set over
to Haricopa county. The business
OF that section all comes out to
PhsniK and must continue to do so.
The natural conformation OF the
county sends it this way. It cannot
ever so to Prescott w:theut greet ad-
ditional expense. 1t never will go
to Prescott. The mo7s to join that
section to Maricopa ls q move of its
people and we think . juss request
that should be granted. There ia
another section that has been cut OF
from Aaricopa county, ToRto Basin,
that. we are informed by one Of it's
leading citizens, will make strenuous
application to be restored to this
county again for the same reason
that southern YaEsp.i would be an
nexed to u.s. The business of Toato
Basin cannot and never will go to
Globe It's means Of communication
with Globe consist of a mule trail
hsre aad there. The business comes
out to Phoenix aud this valley. It's
people have no business in Globe ex-
cept when forced to go there on
county business. Their claim should |
be hear,i and granted. Still another |
section will pray the present Legis-
lature to unite their county interests
with ours for the reason that all |
other Of their business relations GEN.
tire at Phoenix; we refer to that Sec
tien Of Pinal county which includes
the town of Maricopa. The ordinary /
business Of the Maricops people
never takes them to Florence. It is
ont of their way 1t has no business
with them, while Phenix is in daily |
and constant communication with |
them in all sorts of business reIa-
lions. They will ask to become a
portion Of our country, aud their
claim is one that should receive the
attention and prompt action Of the
Legislature. The separation from
Pinal would be no detrimsnt to that |
county and matter of great accom-
mediation to the people who will |
send in the petition.

Below We publish statement by
Mr.. Mowry, our genial Postmaster,
of the money order business which
has been done at his Office for the
past year, and we think it fair in
dication of the business of the town

would surprise a stranger and casual
observer. The amounts given are
of course but a portion of the money
transfers of the year. Much has
passed through the mails in regis

a larger business both in money go

ident Of the United States for his as
sistance in suppressing lawlessness
in the Territory; it is urged upon the
Legislature that funds be provided

he recommends provision for the Or
gsnization of militia companies in
the various counties for the purposes
of better protection; he points to the
Willingness of Mexico and our own
general government to act upon sug-
gestions the Legislature might make
respecting tie better observance of
