ANTI CHINESE RIoT.-The following is
from the Woodland Democrat of January
10Th:
An incipient riot occurred at Williams
last Wednesday, which made things lively
in that town, although no serious results
have thus far followed. The cause of the
difficulty was the arrival of gang of Chi
namen who were put to work loading cars
with wheat. There were a large number
of idle white men at Williams Of the time,
and they repaired to the warehouse and
prohibited the Chinese from going to work.
l.. j. DePue, who has the contract for
loading the grain, swore out warrant
against the Instructors, and the Sheriff of
Colusa county appeared upon the scene
and lodged seven of them in Jail. After
the departure of the Sheriff with his pris-
oners, the Chinese again attempted to
commence work, but there was still large
crowd of white men present, and they
would not allow the Chinese to proceed.
They also threatened Mr.. DsPue with
rough treatment if he again attempted to
put the Eesthens to work in that town.
We understand that DePue intends to
commence an action against Colusa county
for damages. Our informant SAYS that up
to this morning there had been no wheat
loaded, and that the case was liable to re-.
main in statu quo unless MIR. DePue should
relent and put white laborers at the work.

If Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham has not really
discovered the Elixir Vita, which the ancient
alchemists sought by SO much patient re-
search and persistent experiment, her medi-
cine seems. at least, likely to command an
immense sale and universal popularity in the
future. If rapid progress and eminent sue
cess furnish any basis for correct judgment,
Mrs. Pinkham is most promising competi-
tor for such honorable distinction as the al.
chemists failed to achieve.

found, tbs seventeen remaining being burned
into unacceptable masses. Here the charred
remains of leg. there headless bodies or
parts of bodies. trunks without heads or legr,
bones blackened and charred, in many in

were removed to Tehachapi in the morn

The relief train from Los Angeles, on which
were Drs. Ross and Kurtz, reached Tehacha-

were assisted by several from Bakersfield and

Nor ALTOGETHER TRUE.

Some one who has been enlightening the Chicago Times on Arizona and New Mexico says, 'the general impression Of
 he people Of the East is that the New Mexico and Arizona country IS a fertile one, while in fact it is one great desert If alkali, sandy and rocky plains and silicate. Arising from these plains are numerous rough mountain ranges. running from north to south, from twenty to Q hundred or more miles in .ength, rising from five hundred to many thousand feet in night, and from ten to twenty miles ID breadth and distant rom each other from twelve to fifty miles. Water ou the plains and in these ranges is very scarce. The springs where there are any-water holes being more uumerous-are generally small and wIil not supply more than a hun dred or so animals at time, are from twenty to forty miles apart, and are generally fouled by the Indians when breaking camp under pursuit by troops, by throwing old hides and filth of all kinds into the water"
 Nov there IS Just enough truth about this story to make 1t resemble some DOT lions of western Arizona, but even there grass ahounds in most places, and every- where in the mountains. The country lying south of the Gila river from the New Mezlco line west to Maricopa, Is the finest kind Of grass country. Alkah h found only in few places, and no raDd to speak of; rocks are never found on the plains. In the country raided in Arizona by the Indians there Is plenty of water everywhere in the mountains with numerous stock ranches all over the country where thousands upon thou sands Of cattle snbsist where the sol dIers have no trouble in securing an lbundlnce of good water, plenty of feed and fresh beef, fl they want 1t. The --a'Aa-. hAAo 4A i4tA 1h lar dFGltt IDI hb they extend so far in Unbroken chains as represented in the Times but de- .acled mountains spring mp here and there, and rise to an elevation of from .. few hundred feet to from three to four thousand There is more or less water il ali Jhe mountain ranges of Arizona. and hundreds of wells have been dug where good water may be had at various points through the country. South eastern Arizona Is in no sense a desert country, neither is northern or north eastern Arizona a desert country; but a13uujs in the finest cattle ranges in the world, which wlll in the near future ee as celebrated as the Panhandle in Texas now Is.

Arizona's Prosperity.


 Governor r. A. Trittle, who returned Saturday frOm an extended visit to the southern portion of the Territory. in conversation to-day informed the Journal that evidences of prosperity are tO be found throughout all portions of the Territory and that the future pros poets of the Territory are most encour- aging. Among many other things men, toned as evldeucDg this state Of af- fairs, We note the following Al Benson the large smelting furnace of Saulsbur, G C.. lS m successful operation and the business cf the town Is good. Tomb stone presented a very healthy condition, although it was not SO crowded witt business as m former years, but business seemed to run on better and more per manent basis. san Pedro and Sulphur Spring valleys We're being rapidly filled mp with settlers and large stock ranches being opened 1n. he growth of the cattle interests m this section gives great promise of benefit to Tombstone ana will materially aij to its growth in ad- dItlon @ its mining interests There seems tO be a greater feeling oi security m thls section, as regards Indian out breaks, than formerly, the people having confidence in the Goyernmeuts ability, through General Crook, to pro- tect settlers. Tucson presented the enterprlSing spirit Of its people in the numerous enterprises projected and under way. The Board of Supervisors of that county has recently donated Sl5,OOD for the erection of smelter and ! reduction work there and had carried ] out as far as they were concerned the 1 provisions of the acts passed at the last l Legislature, providing aid iu the shape l of bonds for the construction of two ad- l dltioual railroads.

IT seems that Mayor Strauss com

 confirmed that other towns will, in few
 years take the lead. Now that the Mayor
 has brought mp the question Of apathy
 1f the people f Tucson" it will be in

 Tucson has two or three railroad pro-

 management say that work will begin in
 a few days One. the Calabasas road,

It IS a question, in cases of great dan ger, when the lives of human beings are at stake, whether women are not pos sessed of more genuine bravery than men. History records many instances where women have acted with great bravery. The mother will not hesitate to rush into raging torrent to save the life of her drowning cbild. though she may not be able to swim a stroke. Not many years ago Mrs. Lucretis MoIse,' of ROan county, North Carolina, entered barn-yard and rescued child from rabid horse, when stout, able-bodied men looked on with amazement at Ter heroic act. The story of Miss Grecham, Of Pennsylvania, who tore her garments into strips, made a rope of them, and then let herself down into an old unused well in a wheat field, into which a seyeu- year old boy had fallen, thus saving his life, will be remembered by many. Clara BrOwder, a miss Ot fifteen, attacked an alligator near Fort Pike, on Lake Pontchartrain, La, that had her little brother by the leg and was making for deep water, with an old iron shovel handle, with which she put olt both his eyes, stabbed the brute in his side and killed him, then Waled ashore with her little brother, who was but little hurt, and placed him out of harms way, before she swooned and sank to the ground, exhausted under her superhuman effort and the excite ment that attended it. But the latest heroic act of a woman that has come to our knowledge is that of Miss Louise Guedan, of Green street, New York. Her husband, wao was a manufacturer of glass fruits and artificial leaves, died some five years ago, and since that time Mrs. Guedan carried on tbe business up to last week, when alone ID the extension at tie rear of the building a pot of coloring matter which she was heating on stove took fire; knowing the lnitammable nature Of the materials used in the business and realizing the perIlous position Of her vorkmen. eight of whom were on the top floor of the building which was three stories high, and though she could easily have escap- ed by the hall door, she heroically rush ed mp the stairs to the second story and shouted to the men to flee for their liyesi The men whom she thor ughly alarmed raised the windows and escaped upon the roof Of an adjoining building and were saved But the heroic Mrs. Guedan perished from the fumes Of burning chemicals below, and fell dead at the bottom of the first flight of steps. Had she delayed but moment, in spreading the alarm, the eight workmen above would have perished as she did. Women are Of the weaker sex, but who can say that men are braye-?

FOREIGN PAUPgPs.

The immigration of foreign paupers to this country has assumed quite a serious aspect. and 1t becomes more ap- parent every day, that something should be done to put an end to It. Last year Germany tried to get rid Of a portion of her paupers by sending them over Go this country, and this year England has been trying her hand at the busiueI $ with very good success. The paupeIs are not shipped direct from England, but are assisted to Belgium,an passage paid from there to the United States. Secretary Foiger has been iuquiring into the question of DaUper immigration and be finds that, though forbidden by law, there is no penalty, SO that the law is practically of no avail. The United States can and does send paupers back to where they came from, but it must be done at the ex- peuse of the home government and not at the expense of the steamship compauies
 1T the latter cannot be mulcted in some ,rav tl.-,. -..slI ....-4s-...-, L---.
 cver as they are sure of getting pay for one passage and if returned they gettwo. It Is evident that some legislation Is needed on this pauper question, and it IS more than likely the attention of tine President will be called to the frauds practiced on the United States, and that be will ask Congress to pass such a Jaw as will protect tilis counry from further shipments Of that kind of immigrants.
