A MEETING was held a few days ago in
Madrid to consider the best way Of ceebrat-
ing the anniversary of the discovery Of Amer
lea. The debate was very lively, the proprie-
tor Of La Epoca explaining plan which he
had formed, laudable in theory, but difficult
to act on. lie proposes to invite to the fes-
tivity all the editors of the Madrid papers,
the heads Of parties, the ex-Ministers Of
Colony and Navy, and those who have rep
resented Spain in America, the Chief ex-Cap-
tains General Of Cuba and Puerto Rico, the
Chief Bishop Of the Indies, and all those who
represent in consular and diplomatic ca
pacity those beautiful countries which, to-
gether with Spain, contain 7o,ooo, 900 OF
Spaniards, the deputies and Senators of the
Antilles, the American Congress, and all
noble descendants Of the viceroys.

Mr.. +. A. BURKE, Director General Of the
Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centennial
exposition to be held a, New Orleans IN
1885, s, has addressed an eloquent letter to the
Governors Of the various States Of the South
in the interest Of the exposition. The consti-
tuition Of the State Of Texas is particularly
mossbncky on the subject Of State aid towards
such objects, and il Mr.. Burke can succeed in
placing this matter, through his letter to the
Governor, in light that will induce the Legs-
lature to make an appropriation that will
properly and decentiy enable Texas to be
represented on that occasion, he will earn the
everlasting gratitude of every public spirited
citizen Of the State.

THE Chicago Times says: An Ohio
Democrat says that Mr.. Carlisle made
mistake by not helping his party bush
whackers in Ohio. Mr.. Randall did not
make that mistake he went to Ohio, took
off his coat, and worked like Trojan for the
party. Carlisle did not make single speech,
and tell YOU, added the vrtuous Democrat,
the party won't forget either. The impor-
lance Of the Speakership is in the fact that
the Speaker OF the House has come to be the
real leader of the policy of the party which
controls the House, so far, at least, as it has
any policy. 1t appears from the view Of that
virtuous Ohio Dem;crat that the party of that
trade mark is more concerned in the election
of a Governor Of Ohio than in the possession
or leadership Of policy in the National Legis-
lature. Carlisle is Free Trader Randall a
rampant Pennsylvania Protectionist. But
what is free trade or protection to statesmen
who dub themselves Democrats by comparison
to getting control Of the provincial government
machine in Ohio for the use they may be abb,
to make Of it in electing a purveyor of tn,
spoils next year! For that which can Civ
them even the smallest grain OF encouragement
in playing a game for the plumber of office
they are quite willing, 1t appears, to prefer
Protectionist to Free Trader for their politi
cal leader. The virtuous Ohio Democrat
who is Congressman, it appears, avowed hi
intention to support Cox's candidacy fc

THE Uvade Hesperian in discussing the
ertortionate charges for freight made by the
Sunset road, on all points west, makes most
excellent suggestion in the following; "lf the
shippers Of produce and merchandise in the
towns along the route from San Antonio to
Del Rio, would combine in their own inter-
est and demonstrate against this monstrous
discrimination in ireights, which is so unjust
to all classes consumers as well as dealers
we have little doubt Of the accomplishment Of
their aim; and in this very state Of affairs lies
one of the strongest arguments in favor of lib
eral subscriptions to rival line. Could the
Nueces Valley railroad become a fixed fact
it would work complete revolution in the
present unequal tOriff of freights, for then the
Sunset would cease to be a monopoly so far
as our people are concerned, and Uvalde, by
means of wagons and teams, do large re-
ceiving and shipping business. Let our peo-
pie ponder these matters"

slavery In England.

The pleasing notion that there is no
such thing as slavery in England, says
the London Truth, is rather rudely
shaken by an extraordinary story that
was told the other day in the Croydon
Police Court. A lodging house keeper
applied for a summons against one Of
the dodgers for systematically ill-treat-
inga little negro boy, whose screams
she had often heard through the door.
The boy had been purchased in Africa
as servant, and when the lady remon-
strated with her lodger for his cruelty,
he replied: "Oh he is only a colored
child, and, besides, he belongs to my
Brother" The landlady's interference
seems to have been visited upon the
boy, who had his wrists tied together,
and was hung up to hook on the wall
of the room.

ARABIAN sIILLEr GRASS

A few days since the inquiry came
to US respecting the success of Arab
ian MiIlet grass in this section Of
country. We knew nothing If its
cultivation here and were unable to
give the information. Fortunately
the following article came TO hand
this morning in the Citizen:
The following article was publish
ed in the san Diego Union some two
years ago. An experienced farmer,
who has tried it, tells us the grass Is
the thing for our farnersto plant.
and sug gests republication OF til.
article.
arabian millet grass is not a
new thing. 1t has been grown for
hay and pasture on the dryest lands
in the old world from the earliest
record of any plant grown for feed
or pasture. 1t originally came from
near the ancint city of Aleppo, in
Arabia, situated between Jordan and
Euphrates, semi-desert region fa-
nous for the production of this
grass. 1t has been grown for many
years on the dry lands of New Zea-
land. Australia, and some of the
southern States ION dry lands, too
dry to produce the other grasses),
which is sufficien. guaranty of lis
success anywhere on this coast. 1t
is the most valuable plant ! known
the dry, hot climate. 1t has been
tried in all kinds of soil and varic-
ties of, climates, ana everywhere
been perfect success. This grass
makes more hay during the season
than alfalfa, and of Il superior quail =
ity, besides containing rich, grass

both for grazing and making hay,
is succulent, containing saccharine

The Los Angeles Herald, in speak
ing of farming aad gardening in
the vicinity of that city, says that a
farm of five acres devoted to garden
ing gives family an independen
and good living and a good bank
account besides. 1t states that straw.
berries from that county are sold in
eastern markets for So per quart be-
fore they come in from other pros
ducing regions.
"Green fruit is now taken from
Los Angeles to Galveston and Kan
sas City for $3.50 per 100 by freight
train, to st. Louis and New Orleans
$1.92; to Chicago So; to New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, $2.27.
Vegetables are taken at $40, $1.42
and $3.50 to the same places, it the
above order. These rates are low
and should be very satisfactory
Now in all these statements there
is a subject for meditation among
the enterprising land owners of our
own valley. We know of no fairer
gardening region anywhere than
right here among US. The fruit and
vegetables Of our valley ought to
supply this ard surrounding terri
tories and find place in the great
markets of the Mississippi valley
and the east, especially during the
winter and early spring months.
There is scarcely vegetable used
upon the table that will not yield
over 500 per acre and upward to
$500 per acre one year with another.
Fruit growing will run along be-
tween the same points. Though
grain growing is en- important
and profitable industry here, and
with oru present facilities: for NOV
ing crops, about the only industry
tina tour farmers can largely engage
in, yet that business is sure to sue
cumb to the more profitable one of
fruit and vegetable growing just so
soon as we have railroad facilities
for moving these more perishable
crops. A through line from the Nee
dies to Tucson might not be of any
very great advantage to the local
business of our town but to the VAL
ley at large, to the farmers its value
would be inestimable. Or ia case
a branch road should be built from
Maricopa, the valley would be equal
iy benefited and the town perhaps
more benefited than if we had
through line. However that may be
it Is certain that the resources of our
valley cannot be developed except in
but r very small part till we can
reach markets with the more valua-
bic and perishable products that may
be produced here in immense quan>
titles. There is sufficient mar e.
for everything we can produce of

THE NEW MINING REGION.

The Castle Creek mining region
is now fairly opened up, and it has
2hR confidence of mining men and
capitalists who have made extensive
working investments. The Copper
opolis company will shortly have
one smelter at work TO be followed
by two or three others as rapidly as
the work can be sufficiently devel-
oped to set them running The
Colorado Company, whose mines are
in the same region, is also openfn g
up work briskly, and will, before
the close of summer, be producing
bullion copper. There are still other
valuable properties in that section
awaiting the advent of smelters that
their ore may be disposed of to them.
a new town has sprung up called
Kirbyville, after one Of the owners
of the Copperopolis mines, which is
receiving daily augmentation to It's
population and business. Of course
the town business is liable to be over
done, but as to the mining business
a not at all enthusiastic owner in the
.Copperopolis mine asserts that there
is ore in sight sufficient to run
smelter for fifty years. 1t must not
be understood that this assertion is
made for selling purposes. These
mines are to be worked by present
owners, not to be sold.
One of the owners OF these mines
has made a careful calculation on
the cost of fir, ighiing their charcoal
from Moricopa to the mines and puts
it at not less than 100000 per year
when all the smelters to be placed
on the mine are running. Surely it
seems to US that this one item should
attract the attention of railroad build
ing men, not to speak of return
freight and general business in the
mining regions to the north of us
and the business of the valley.
The Castie Creek region is to form
a valuable outlet for the products of
the Salt River Valley as well as a
most important tributary to the trade
of henix. Business thrusts itself |
on Phoenix from al directions and
