Resources Of Arizona.

Comparatively few people have any
| extended knowledge of the extent and
vast resources of Arizona. Thousands
| annually travel across it on the railroad
for hundreds of miles and only see :,
barren waste of sand or alkali desert
and mountains that seem devoid of
vegetation and uninhabitable. In the
blazing heat of summer sun they see a
section OF country. which, after their
curiosity is satisfied, they only desire to
get out of. and probably think as Gen
eral Sheridan did, who said some six
teen years ago when applied to by a
committee of :AriZonians for relief
against the Apaches, that the country
was only tit for Indians, and if the
whites who are trying to get foothold
didn't want to get killed they had better
90 TO more desirable country. This
is all wrong. The most uninviting Of
the desert lands can, by the proper ex-
penditure of capital in bringing in
water. be made the most profitable
farming lands. The seasons are recu.
lar and may be said to be changing for
the better each year since the advent of
the railroad and telegraph, which APP
pear to regulate the electric currents so
that violent thunder-storms and cloud
bursts are becoming less frequent and
destructive. The rainy seasons in De-
cember and January and again in June
and July can be relied on to
come within certain dates,
and. although not depended on in
in any way for the purpose of raising
crops. are beneficial and at times save
labor in irrigation. For miles. as far as
the eye can reach over these deserts,
what appears to be only scrubby kind
of bush is really 4 superior article of
wood, of which thousands of cords could
be contracted for at very low figures, as
the wood is easy to gather and trans
portation by wagon is cheap. owing to
the fact that little or no labor is neces-
sary TO construct roads. In the mount
aims can be found all the minerals,
heavy timber and coal-beds. Some of
the stock ranges in the foothills are
unsurpassed for the territory that can
be controlled by a single water right
and for the rich, nutritious grasses
with which the country abound>. The
climate is favorable TO stock-raising and
the percentage of loss by disease or
starvation may be set down as nil. The
losses by "rustlers" and Indians have
been heavy, but that is something incl
dental to all new countries. Many
ranges have been located during the
past four years by parties who could not
boast of being the possessors of one
hundred dollars, but who could to-day
sell their rights and stocks for many
thousands. Ranches are being contin-
ually taken up and still there is more
left, as the country is SO expansive that
even with all the drawbacks taken
away, it could not be prospected in a
month or year.-Cor. San francisco

The Romanees Of a Millionaire.

There were three romances in the life
of the late Joshua Sears, the million
aire grocer of Boston. The first was
when he was poor young man. He
started q Irritation with wealthy
beauty on a railroad train, called on
her afterwards, and finally found that
his suit was in vain, because he was
poor and she was rich. He became en-
gagged to dashing young widow. One
of her friends asked her: "What are
you going to be married to that old
fellow for" sFor his money. Of
course" said she. Sears heard of this.
"For my money. Ell ?" he said; "not
by a-blessed-sight." He went to his
lawyers, and was told she would have a
good case in breach-of-promise suit.
He didn't want a lawsuit, so he handed
confidential friend $4,000 and told
him to go and see the widow and " fix
things up;" which was done, she ac-
cepting the bride and giving him his
freedom. The third was when he was
an old man. He found himself enor-
mously rich, but thought: when /
am gone, as soon shall be, who VIII
enioy it all p" So he went to his friend
Alpheus Hardy. and said. " Hardy. I'm
thinking of getting married What do
you think about it p" Hardy thought
he knew lady who would just suit.
.Well, then, Hardy, you go and ar
range it." So Hardy conducted the ne
gotiations and Sears was accepted. On
his wedding morn the bashful BRIDE
groom called Hardy aside and said !:
Hardy, / don't know anything about this
ceremony and you do. So want You
to stick close to my side and coach me.
so l won't make any laundering mis-
take" Hardy did 50 and all went well.

A Dairy Problem.

Not so much in the West as in the
East do the farmers keep their cows too
short. 1t would seem that every farmer
could put dairy philosophy in few
propositions. 1t requires a certain
amount of food to sustain life, and until
that is done the COW will not and can not
give milk to any amount. The milk
coming from the surplus food, after
sustaining her life, the quantity and the
quality of her food determines the
amount and value of the milk she will
give. Hence, if the pastures are short,
and the water low, or poor, stagnant,
muddy stuff, the milk will diminish
both in quantity and quality. Nor is
or less at this season of the year, it will
be difficult to bring her back to her
usual flow of milk, and so the loss is
one which must be borne the balance
of the season. Herein lies one
of the problems of successful
modern dairying, the equalizing
of the irregularities of our weather,
Of freshet and drouth, of sum-
mer and winter, so that our cows
shall have about the same kind of feed
at all times, the same kind of general
temperature and nearly the same flow

perature summer and winter, with cool,
tine-favored and unbroken grained
butter. In the solution of this problem,
ice, corn-fodder, ensilage, corn-meal
and similar .'extras" will have q very
important place.
To-day an ice-house is an indispensa-
ole adjunct of a well ordered dairy,
while ten or fifteen years ago but few
iairymen thought of such things. Corn
fodder was once laughed at by many.
A few have not yet learned wisdom. Sc

SINGLE WOMEN.

A clever old maid once said that
it was far better to be laughed at
because you were not married than
to be able to laugh because you
were. There is sound logic in that.
1t is well for woman to marry if
she meets a good true man who
loves her and whom she loves but
if she be not suited better remain
single. The majority of old maids
are lovabie, helpful and sweet
tempered, and fill their allotted ni--
ches as acceptably as do-their mar
ried sisters. Are they not more to
be honored than they would have
been had they married merely for a
home or position? Our young la
dies have erroneous ideas upon this
subject. They feel almost dis
graced, if they have arrived at
mature age, and are not yet able to
write Mrs. before their names.
Their whole ambition is to get
husband, by hook or crook, but get
him somehow they must. Conse-
quently they take the first man who
offers himself, whether hereally suits
them or not. Now, girls, do not
marry in haste. Get the best edu-
cation possible, help about domes-
tic affairs, and enter upon some
trade or profession for which you
have a taste and master it. Skilled
labor is always well paid. Don't
spend your timerepining because
you cannot see the coming man.
If you never see him, you can live
useful, happy lives. You think if
you had husband, you would have
a strong arm on which to lean,
sharer of sorrow and trouble. Alas
many a slender woman has had not
only to stand alone, but also to
serve as a prop for children and
husband, and very few wives find
in their husbands all the sympathy
and companionship they desire. If
you are good for anything you viii
not be hurt by remaining single,
neither will you be elevated by be-
coming "John's wife" Do your
duty in life and you will count for
something in the world, whether
married or single.

THE BALI ROOM BELLE.

Our love was like most other loves;
A little glow, little shiver.
A rosebud, and pair Of gloves,
And ely not YET upon the river:
Some Jealousy of some ones heir,
Some hopes of dying broken-hearted, q
a miniature, lock of hair,
The usual vows-and then we parted.
We parted; months and years rolled by;
We met again four summers after:
Our parting was all sob and sigh;
Our meeting was all mirth and Laughter;
For in my hearts most sccre: cell
There had been many other lodgers;
And she was not the bathrooms belle,
But only-Mrs Something Rogers.

In an account of the cavalry fight
at Stephensburg, Virgins. June 9th,
1868, in the Edgefeld Chronicle,
DR.. T. E. Bessellien, of Savannah,
says:
In the meantime the enemy had
advanced in such heavy force as to
cause the detached squadron of our
single regiment to abandon the
woods and take up position in the
open, level fields, where cavalry
could maneuvre and we could keep
our communication open with Cen
eral Stuart, then fighting at Brandy
Station, and cover the movements
of a heavy infantry force then in
the neighborhood of Culpeper Court
House. Along the margin Of a
pond, then, the regiment was posted,
when the enemy appeared on the
hills in our front before mentioned
and placed their artillery near the
brick church and opened fire upon
us. We had no artillery to respond
end the distance was too great for
small arms, SO we waited for deyel-
opments. Colonel Butler and Cap
tain Farley, Of Gen. Stuart's staff
were in the road a few rods distant
from us, when the discarge ola field
peace in our rear drew the attention.
We saw that it was a Confederate
gun, but too far from the enemy
to be of any service, as the shells IT
discharged were exploding fully one
hundred yards short of the enemy's
position.
The Colonel told me to ride up
the hill and tell the officer com.
manding that gun to bring it down
to where we were, as his firing was
doing no good. The enemy's bat
teries were now firing very fast, and
I narrowly escaped being struck
while galloping up the hill. I rode
up to the lieutenant in charge ot
the gun, which 1 think belonged tc
a Virginia battery, and told him
"Colonel Butler says bring youl
gun down to where the troops are
stationed, as you are wasting YOU
fire in present position" HI
asked: 'Wno in the hell is Colone
Butler?" I told him he was thu
colonel Of the Second South Caro-
lima Cavalry, in command of thu
troops then in view engaged will
the enemy. He ordered the gun tc
be limbered up and started to de
scend the hill. turned to ride
back to my command when, wha
was my surprise to find our artillery
friend had again put his piece ''e1
battery and had opened on the en-
emy's artillery. 1 returned to hin
again and repeated my order.
Colonel Butler says bring YOU
artillery down to the pond
Odd if 1 am going to carry my
men there to be killed." said he.
Very well, sir" 1 said, q shall
inform Colonel Butler Of your re
mark" and galloped towards the
spot where I left Colonel Butler
and Captain Farley standing.
l rode parallel to the main road
and within fifty yards of it for some
little distance, and just before
reached the Colonel I saw quite q
dust in the road and considerable
excitement, and Colonel Butler
horse trotted by me with what ]
took to be the saddle hanging un'
der him. I fastened up to the
road to get a better view and saw
that the poor animals intestines
were hanging out from a fearful
wound in the lower portion of the
stomach. l knew then that some
terrible disaster had occurred, so
leaped the fence into the road and

The United States authorities are
very prompt in returning pauper i'm
migrants to England. A ship load of
this class was recently returned to
Queenstown and five Polish families
later arrived are sent back to London
whence they came. America welcomes
self-supporting able-bodled foreigners
but of paupers she always has enough.
The action n returning them was wise.
