OUR mountain ranchmen who have small tracts of land that can be culti- vated, would do well to plant them in p0tatoes. Both Irish and sweet potatoes do uncommonly well in the higher latitudes of Arizona, and a good price can always be had for the product. All kinds of berries do well in the noun tains, and a few acres of land where water can be had for ir-igating purposes will bring a good income to any man who understands agriculture. There IS no use of sending abroad for anything 10 the way of fruits, vegetables or gram. Everything can be produced at home if our farmers and ranchmen will make mp their minds to it. By another year or so the Gila and Salt river valleys will furnish all the wheat and barley neces- sary to supply our home market, and have grain to spare. But in the matter of fruits and berries We are stlll behind the times.

In the carriage makers convention in New Haven, Connecticut, after the con- mittee on apprenticeship had reported m favor of restoring the old system of lndenturing apprentices until they reach their majority, Mr Jobn W. Britton, of New York, said. "One of the serious wants of this country and of our trade IS good boys. Our boys are deterlorating, as are our men. The greatest difficulty we experience in New York IS that of getting boys who have brains and are wiling to learn a trade thoroughly. The example of men who have made millions ln a few years is held up before our boys m school, and the boys become infiamed with the notion that they must make their millions ard be able to found cross roads colleges before they die. So they ssehew trade and become poor proses- siOnals."

THE hearing of the Princess of Wales has been restored; she now drives about town every day with her daughter, but the Prince Of Wales does not accom- pany them, and rumors of dissensions in the family are rife. Since the restor- ation of her hearing, it is quite probable that she has overheard the prince talking to the chambermaid. He wlll have to be more careful in the selection of his words to the female help, now that the housekeeper has her ears open.

JUDAH P BENJAMIN writes from Paris that there has been a marked improve ment in his health, aud that he hopes soon to visit the United States. There was a time when Mir. Benjamin hoped and fully believed that there would be no United States. He may think that because the Lord Chief Justice of Great Britain has been honorel in this coun- try, that an English barister will also be SO honored; but he will find but few friends north of Mason and DIxon's line, and fewer in the south than be expects. The tone of the south is very different from what it was when MT. BenIamin left this country, and the warm expressions for she union Of States will grate harshly upon the ex-con- federate's ears.

WE would advise the Twinkler to read up on the Indian policy before it seeks 10 enlighten the public. It is enough for the republicans 10 acknowledge its continuance, but the democratic party inaugurated it and had the "addl- tions and divisions" down to science long before the organization Of the re- publican party. It will not do to falsify history; tell tue truth and if possible shame the ''old boy"-just once.

cANNIBALS FROM BRAZIL.
Phineas Taylor Barnum's Latest Contribu-
 ton to Pathological Research

"Do you want to see my latest impor- tation in the way of human curiosities?' asked Barnum yesterday. as he stood near the gangwsy of the steamer City of Richmond, which had just arrived from Liverpool. "I have got the great est thing yet. They're going to astOnish the people. They are wonderful won derful r' "They" were five Brazilian Indians Two uf them-women-had the outer edge of the lower lip extended about four inches from the teeth, a block of hard, round black wood, about three and half inches Inrdlameter and three-sixteentbS of an inch thick, hay ing been set into the Inner side Cf the lip, forming a sort of shelf under the mouth. All are small in stature, with thick coarse hair, similar J1 that of the tail of a horse. The s!ziu Is copper colored and the face is idi1tic. The fea- lures Of all were irregular, the mouth from their sockets and the forehead low ever, were purely Gre e'Ian.
 "These wonderful people" said Mr. Barnum, fare from the provinces of Is pirito SantO and Minas-Geraes, BraZIl. My agent informs me that after his ar rival at Rio JaneirO, Brazil, he took a canoe and Journeyed some lj0 miles or more up the Sweet river. Upon landing he visited several Indians ID the interior Of Brazil, who were apparently canibals. The tribes to which these people belong are called Botocudos. They are canjbals and 1t was with much trouble that my agent succeeded in inducing them to leave their native land. They are en- tirely devoid of intelligence. l have brought them to this country to form one of my attractions for grand ethnol- ogical exhibition which l propose to present with my show next year. We will have representatives of every tribe that can be found on the globe. These women think that the wood set ln their hps adds to their charms. When they are quite young their lips are pierced and small piece of hard wood or ivory is forced in the cut and after the wound has healed a large piece of wood Is forced in the aperture and so on until sometimes a wOman's lip may extend six or eight inches from her teeth. The greater the distensiln Of the lip the greater their beauty, SO they think.
 The BotocudOs were sent to PIt'sburg last evening, where they will be eX- nibited on Monday. They will be ex- hibited in several museums m this country until February next, when Mir. Barnum's show will commence the sea SOP of lSS4.-N. I. World.

TIE citizens of Globe are very anx. ious to secure a mail route to Winslow, on the \. & P. road, via Green Valley or Union Park.

There seems to be good grounds for the estab- lIshment of mail service on the route proposed, and there are no good reasons why the people interested should not have it

4 Brave Woman's Presence Of Mind.

n
 On last Sunday evening William Bump and his wife, of Cherryville, after putting their children to bed, were in front of the house just as twilight was gathering. amusing themselves in a playful way. The husband ran away from the house several rods, followed by his wife. In running bis left arm struck the revolver which was m his coat pocket. An idea flashed through his mind that he would scare hIs wife in the darkness, and drawing his revolver from hIs pocket, he aimed it toward the bush, and, when about to fire, his wife came running up between him and the bush, and be shot her in the abdomen. She exclaimed: 70, William, you shot ne" lie turned and said: If I dld shoot you in this foolish way, 1 will take ny own life" and he pointed the re- volver to his head; but she caught his hand and begged him not to shoot, say ing "I ain't shot Sine persuaded him to empty every chamber of the revolver into the woods and then walked back to the house. At the house she met a boy and told him to hurry and got matches. Her husband heard this and quickly came to her sIde, and then she told him she was shot and he should quickly go for a doctor. On the way he aroused the neighbors, who went to the house and found her in bed suffering pain. Three doctors were summoned as soon as possible, two from town, and Carpenter, of Po.tsvills. They discOv- cred the ball had entered the abdomen, and think 1t lodged in tue left hip. The wound was a dangerous one, and the woman fingered until Monday evening, when death came and relieved her.

LANnspown A NAKED MAN.

The friends of the Marquis of Lans- down are very uneasy about his personal safety in his new position of governor general of Canada; they say that the Fenians have made explicit threats against his life, and while they claim that be has not Intentionally made hlm- self obnoxious to the Fenians, he has been notonously imprudent:
 When the appointment was made, the marquis and his wife arranged a series Of farewell visits throughout Ire land, and left their visits to the duke of Abercorn to the last. The duke and Lord Rossmore had arranged to revive Orangeism in Ireland as an offset against nationalisms. The politicians succeeded in arraying Protestants against Cath olics. Besides this, the Dublin castle government had already found reasons for proclaiming six of the most import ant Parnellite meetings upon the ground that the Orangemen were determined to break them up by resorting to riot, and during nearly the whole of this bitter campaign the marquis was the guest Of the duke. From the Parnellite point of view, Lansdown's record as an Irish landlord IS bad enough. His open rupture with the cabinet on the land question was worse than his record, but the fact that he consorted intimately with the leading tories, Protestants and Orangemen, and accompanied Sir Staf- ford No-thcote in the great revival of Orange enthusiasm IS denounced as the hated landlords crowning infamy. It Is impossible to convey 10 Americans anything like 8 correct idea of the bitter feelings of resentment at present enter tained by the natiOnalists against Lans- down. Although he took no active part in the recent Orange revivals, he IS believed by the leaguers to have been at the bottom of the whole business. Many profess To believe that he IS n doomed man, and do not hesitate to express their fears that his career as governor general Of Canada may be cut short by a repetition of the Phenix park horror
