Fine Fruits .


 MT. A. J. Keen. who has just re- turned from an official trip through Mesaville and Phoenix, brought with h m from the latter place few boxes of the finest and most delici> ous peaches and grapes that were ever seen in Tucson. Thry were rot selected fruit but were taken at random from the trees are vines. Of one variety. any five peaches wou d weIgh 38 ounces, while several of them weighed len ounces each, and measured eleven inches in circum> ference. twithstanding this ex- ceedingIy large growth, the qualit of the fruit had not suffer q indeed the quality was improved by it, and more delicious and beautiful fruit has never been seen anywhere. The grapes in size and quality were just little superior to the best produced in California. When railroad trans pnrIation is provided Phoenix will supply all Arizona wi.h fruit-a little matter th is easy for it to ac> comp!ish.-C Citizen.

 The taste of everything that re-
 Iates to forestry is increasing every-
 where. This is made clear by the
 number of periodicals devoted 10
 this science in various countries, and
 by Ihe iact that every list of the | great publishers that comes to us
 from New York, London, Paris or Berlin, has the ann cement of
 books devoted to the subject of
 trees. Tie Southern States are re-
 nDwncd for the varied kinds and
 vast extent of forest trees within their borders; trees for medicinal purposes, fl ornament, for cummer- cial purposes ab :und on every hand. Great as the South is in this respect,
 it is remarkable that before the gie eat Worlds Exposition was pros jected, there was never systematic atteu pt made to collect, arrange ard exhibit in one place, the various trees that grow south of the Ohio river. The Mexican garden, con
 sisting of five acres in the very heart If the Exposition grounds. will present a fine ,illustratioD of the trees that grow in Mexico and Central Am erica. The most sensi-
 tive sorts will be placed in the Com servatory, wheie artificial heat can be supplied as occasion may require.
 There will 6e many striking con- tradictions and amusing conire- temps no doubt in the Exposition The diligent good woman giving out chromos and motto cards recom> mending ice water, lemonade and other corroding drinks, facing the exhibits of gilt edge whisky from Cincinnati, real gin from Holland, rum from Kingston, and a fountain of sparkling champagne, will not be more absurd than the incident of a dude of the Nineteenth Century coming in contact with m effigy tf one of the grandees of the time of the Spanish dominion. Such cir cumstances are likely to occur; for he tracts and bitters are booked ai d Prof Langham mer, of New Mexico, has provided for the Exposition uniqne represen taiion of a Spanish ! warrior in a coat of mail, mounted | on an untamed steed. To make the | illusion more complete and to show how the lords of creation carrie;: l themselves three hundred years ago, | four black slaves arc shown te be in | attendarce 10 do the slightest bid- ding of their noble master Not less striking than this tahleau of Mexican grand life will be the hous> es of clay with the doors on top, that Prof. Langhammer means to erect on the Exposition grounds as a part Of his plan of Illustrating the domestic life ot the early oc- cupants of the land we now call New Mexico.

cLEvELAND's LETTER.

ALBANY, Aug. 19-A synopsis of Governor CleveIand's letter formal ly accepting Inc D, mocraiic nomi- raiIon for President of the Uuiitd d States is as follows:
 To c. w. Villas, Chairman, A. F. & D. F., Besior anu others, members Democratic National Convention. "Gentlrmen: 1 have rec eiveu your communication dated July 18th, 1884. informing me of my nomina> ion for the office of Presi dent of he United States l,y- the National Democratic Convention lateiy as- sem bled at Chicago. I accept the nomination with a grateful appre- cIat:on of the supreme honor con- ferred, and a solemn sense of the responsibility which, in it's accept ance, I assume. 1 have carefully considered the platform adopted ny the convention and certainly ap- prove the sa me. So plain a states ment of Dem, cratic faith and the principles upon which the party ap- peals to the suffrages of the eople, needs no supplement or explanation. We probably call ours government t by the people. but it is not such when a class is tolerated which ar> rogates to itself the management ot public affairs, seeking 10 control the people instead of representing them. When the holders of the ballots quickened by sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken, and when the suffragrs shall be altogether free and uncor- rupted the full realization of gov ernment by the people will be at hand, and of the means to this rot enc would In my judgment be more effective than an amendment to the constitution disqualifying he Press Ident from reelection. We recog> nize in the eligibility of the Presi- deEt for re>eltctio a most serious dang-r to that calm deliberate and intelligent polii ical action which must characterize governs ment by the people. Our wo, king men are not asking unreasonable terms, but as intelligent citizens they seek the same consideration which those demand who have other Interests a. stake. They should res ceive their full share of the care and attention of these who make and execu the laws, 10 ihe end that the woes and wants of the em
 ployers and employees should nike be subserved and the prosperity of the country, the common heritage of both be advanced We should not discourage the emigration of those who come 10 acknowledge allegi- ance to our government and add to our population. Yet, as means of pr tectIon 10 our work inemen, a different rule should prevail con- corning those who, if they come or are brought 10 our land and do not intend to become Americans, hut will injurIously compete with those justly entitled to our labor. The commerce of a nation to grsai extent determines it's supremacy (. Cheap and easy transportation should therefore be literally fos'er- ed within the limits of the constitu- tion, and the general government should so improve and protect its natural water ways as will enable the producers of the country to reach profitable market, The se> lection and retention of subordi- mates in government employment should depend upon their ascertain ed fitness and the nature of their

 The displays of rare and curious things and manufactured articles by the foreign nations of Europe, Asia and Africa and of the Central and South American republics will be very full and complete.
 The separate States of the Union and the territories with the excep- ton of possibly one or two, will be represented by collective displays and by thousands of associated and individual exhibits, illustrating every fieid of effcrt that now en- gagrs the attention of the human family.
 By their tastes persons will be at- irac. ed 10 this or that feature of the great show. Lovers of music will no doubt ne hrawn to the music rooms to listen to the instrumental performances of ar ists of high re- nown and to behold the marvelou- achievements of the manufacturers of musical instruments The grand concerts that will be frequently given ID the great Muse Hall by professional singers, inc recilals given by the aid of the grand organ, the largest one ever cree. ed for ex- position purposes. and the daily and almost hourly performance of mili- tary bands from Mexico and other countries. will present pleasures to the cultivated mind worth going around the world tc partake of.
