Dakota's Prospects.

The prospects of Dakota have been frightened
by recent rains, and, at this writing, it seems as
if nothing could happen 10 the growing crops of
so serious q nature as to cause a failure this sea-
son. Thus far there has been sufficient rainfall,
and should these rains O ase now, the crops are
so Ear advanced that they would mature under
considerable of drouth. But there is no ground
for surprising that there will be any drouth this
year. There is fully double the acreage there was
last year, and the prospects now is that our roads
will nave p enty to do this fall Transporting the
products Of the territory to easterq markets.
And all this 10 well. Those men and women who
have braved the hardships of frontier life, who
have toiled to develop the resources of the terri
tory skopld be thus enoopraged-should be
prospered-and when the tale of another years.
work in Dakota is told IN the states east of us
numberless others Will come here and make their
homes with us. This year there is no boom in
this or any other new country. There is such a
depression in the money market that people are
not willing to venture upon any undertaking, be
it ever so favorable. Still there is q steady tide
Of emigration into this territory, and it would be
well Tor all who desire to use their presumption
and timber culture rights to bear in mind that
[these RICH 8 are liable at any Time to be taken
from them by congress. Many realizing this
fact have come to Dakota this spring and are now
residing upon claims making improvements to
increase the value Of the land. There is still
large quantities of vacant land in this district
and@GsoFe will soon:be ready for emory in Camp

Perhaps the most interesting celestial event of the year will be the opposition of Mars, at the end of the present month. The first physical features of Mars that come into view are the snow caps surrounding his poles. The south- ern pole is now inclined toward earth, and c small telescope, say of three inches aperture, will plainly show the circular gleaming patch of snow that covers the antartic region of the globe of Mars The dark ring surrounding the snow field, and sometimes called Phillips Sea. k almost equally di-tinct, and some of the other seas, or spots that are believed to be seas, can be seen with the same telescope. With larger telescope more details are visible, as it would also be able to show the two tiny moons of Mars, which revolve close tO the planet. so rapidly that the inner one goes through all the changes from new moon to old moon in less than day. Another interesting thing about Mars. which can now be studied, is the mys- teri0us network of so-called canal, which cover a large portion of the planets surface, particularly iu the equatorial regions. The idea that there really canals constructed by inhabitants of the ruddy planet can hardly be entertained, when it Is known they sixty miles and more in width.

Mems. for Husbands.

Do not jest with your wife upon & sub iect in which there is danger of wound ing her feelings Remember that she treasures every word you utter. Do not speak of some virtue in another mans wife to remind your own of fault. Do not reproach your wife with personal de- fleets, for If she has sensibIlity you inflict a wound difficult to heal Do not treat your wife with inattention when in com pany; it touches her pride, and she will not respect you more or love you better for it. Do not upbraid your wife in the presence of a third party; the sense of your disregard for her feelings will pre- vent her from acknowledging her fault. Do not entertain your wife with prsising the beauty and accomplishments of other women. If you would have a pleasant home and cheerful wife, pass your evenings under your own roof. Do not be stern and silent ID your own house and remarkable for sociability else Ladies' Journal.

known abroad. People have a horror of its summer heat, but the dryness of the climate enables people to live comfort ably during the heated term. The river bottoms are fine agricultural land. Their fertility induced the millionaire Blythe to invest his thousands in them, but hls good work was cut short by an untimely death. c. H. Brinley, the county clerk, has a fine, young growing orchard of thrifty, vigorous fruit trees. Dr. J. P. Taggart, the fish commissioner, has fig trees that bore ripe fruit the l4th of thls month. The vineyards are doing finely. Samuel Purdy, jr., will set out small vineyard next month.
 There Is a lull ID mining. The Clip mine, thirty miles up the river, IS ship ping six bars of silver bullion weekly. Some good claims are reported near Chimney peak, recently discovered. One mining company put up smelter at a cost of over S40,0O0, only to find that the ore is free milling. Several mistakes like this have greatly dlscour- aged mining in Yuma county, but time will overcome their effects. In 1857 ore was hauled from Ajo to Yuma at cost of Sl05 per ton, and then shipped with profit to Swansea.
 The catfish in the Colorado are rapid ly increasing.
 The mineral and agricultural resources of Yuma county and the adjacent coun- try are sufficient to and will yet build a city there.

THE NEW CONTINENT.
Captain Futile Declares that it Lies Be-
 yond the open Polar Sea.

Captain A. Futile, ex-King of the Can
 nibal Islands, and man who has had a
 wide experience as a sailor, lectured Sat
 urday night at Grand Army hall to a
 small audience. He dwelt principally
 upon his experiences in the arctic re-
 gions, and described the customs and
 habits of the Esquimsux. He spoke of the terrible fate of Lieutenant De Long
 and party, and said their deaths were al
 attributable to the fact that the com mander, though gentleman, scholar and brave man, was without practical experience in the ice-bound north. Con- sequently be permitted his ship to stick in the ice, and then, with his dogs and sledges endeavored to escape. He did not know how to handle the dogs, and finally killed them for food, when, if he had known enough to cut hole in the ice and light a taper over it, he could have secured enough food Tn ten min utes for thousand men.
 The speaker said that there was not only an open polar sea, as claimed by Arctic explorers. but there was conti- nent beyond that sea which was rich in everything needed for humanity. He dld not know whether that continent was inhabited, but he found bones in that region which scientists said were the bones of 6 race of men twelve feet tall Also the bones of animals which live in the tropics. From these facts, he contended that the line of the equator once ran through this wonderful conti- nent. This open polar sea, he said, was full of phosphorescent animalcuh, which. gave the water the appear snce of being on fire, and this luminous body of water produced the beautiful phenomena known as the northern lights. Another evidence that there was a continent in the far north.the speaker said, was to be found in tine fact that the snow bergs which came out of the open polar sea were composed of rock, sand, and magnetic substances, which could not be there, if there was no land. He had washed gold dust out of the snow, and he thought the new country must be rich in precious metals. ! He said that he had discovered the l passage to the open polar sea. and he intended to go there. He would have | sailed into 1t at the time of the dis. | covery, but the Arctic night was coming on, and he and his crew were all worn | Republican. ~

\ Cattle King.

Theo. F. White, the cattle man of the Chiricahaus, was in the city yesterday. His brothers with whom he was as- sociated, having sold out their interest and returned east, he has formed a CO., partnership with J. V. McVicker of Tombstone. The range upon which their thousands graze, lies in the Sul- phur Springs valley and across the western slope of the Chiricahua noun tains. It embraces an area of about 400 square miles, well watered, wooded and grassed. In addition 10 the natural in- crease of his cattle NIT. White has been and is yet large buyer. His beef is marketed in Los Angeles, Cal, without trouble or loss to himself. He delivers them in the cattle pens at Wilcox, and then his responsibility ceases. Parties buying cattle from him purpose shortly tJ erect a slaughter house III Sulphur Springs valley, and ship the beef already dressed, in refrigerating cars, and there by save heavy loss of beef in their transit.

The Pioneers.

The following letter to Chas. D. Pos ton of this city, in relation to the organization of q pioneers association explains itself. 3Ir. Poston informs us that there is a strong feeling among old settlers in favor of the measure; We have no doubt it will prove q success.
 TUcsoN, Jan. 20, 1881. My dear Poston: Your kind remem- brances were given me today by Mir. Ellis. Many thanks, and accept in re- turn my sincerest wishes for your welfare.
 I have read your suggestion about the formation of a pioneer society; it's "way up"
 It should be done at once, and enable some of your old fellows to recount their "reminiscences before the bell tolls, and it's too late. have no doubt that we could gather together some interesting and amusing matter for furture Ari- zonans; at any rate 1t would draw to- gether the boys of the olden times into closer relationship with each other, and as the occasion occurred Gas it assuredly will) launch the brother member on the unknown sea with n pioneers "God bless you"

Meeting an Emergency.

The recent rush to the Quiiotoas and other new and prosperous mining camps ID southern Arizona has suddenly ere sted demand for mining timbers and building lumber of all kinds. which caused a rush on our local dealers. Messrs. 4. D. Otis & Co. met the demand with nearly a million feet in stock. and to be still further prepared for coming emergencies telegraphed for 300,00G ad- ditional feet, which is now daily arriving by trains from the east. 4 fortunate circumstsnce for the firm and thelr pat rons is the fact that their lumber supply lies near at home, and is available at all periods and seasons of the year. They can, therefore, i'll aD order, or have one filled, without being subjected to delay through inclemency of the weather Leave all orders with the firm on the corner of Meyer and Pennington streets, pr st the lumber yard, south of the'pub- ic schoolhOUse, on Congress street.

The New Firm.

The cid store formerly occupied by W. c. Davis, and now occupied by Messrs Stevens & Hughes, had prior to its occupancy by the latter, been re modelled and fashioned into one of the finest appearing and most commodious stores in the city. In the fine glass front, the new partitions, systematically arranged shelving and the properly dis played merchandise, the old store loses its identity, and a newer one typical of modern progressiveness is forced into place.
 The building 40 feet front by 40 feet in depth with basement underneath for the storing of surplus manufactures, has been subdivided into various de- psrtments. The store proper, the sheet iron and tin department, and the gas fitting and plumbing department are each arranged with a view to facilitating the several branches of industry which the firm under the general head of hardware dealers purpose to carry on.
 The left side of the store facing the main entrance is devoted to the keeping of shelf hardware, crockery, glass and plated ware. To the right tin, sheet iron, plumbing and gas fitting goods will be kept, while in the body of the store will be displayed the various makes of stoves, ranges, grates, pumps, etc, etc. The ceiling overhead is entirely hidden by the numberless dozens of csnteens, camp kettles, coffee pots. miners outfits and cooking utenslls In general
 The stock in cooking and nesting stoves embraces every known make of practical value and use. The Superior and Charter Oak stoves are by all acquainted with their excellensies. acknowledged to be the best in the market, especially the former, which ss B general favorite bids fair to surpercede all others.
 The firm invite the public to an inspection of their immence stock which they purpose to sell at prices in ac- cOrdance with the times. Give them call.

Americas First Traitor.

Were a child, and possibly a we'll educated adult, asked who was the first traitor to the republican cause m America in the war of the revolution, he would answer Benedict Arnold. Such was not the case, however. Ar hold was, perhaps, the most conspicuous of all traitors, but the first man detected in an attempt to betray bis country was Dr. Benjamin Church, of Raynham, Mass. He was a graduate, studied medicine in London, and be- came eminent as surgeon. He lived a bachelor, extrayagantly and licentiously, in fine mansion, in l76S. For several years preceding the revolution he was conspicuous among the leading whigs. Of the Massachusetts provincial con gress he was an active member. At the same time, while he was trusted as an ardent patriot, Church was evidently the secret enemy of the republicans. So early as 1774 he wrote parodies of his own popular songs in favor of liberty for the tory newspapers; and in September, l115, an intercepted letter, written by him in cipher to Major Cain, in Boston, which had passed through the hands of the mis- tress of Church, was deciphered, and the woman confessed that be wasjthe au- thor. The case was laid before the con- tinental congress, and he was dismissed from the general dIrectorship of the hospital. He was arrested and tried by cOurt-msrtial at Cambridge on q charge of "holding a criminal cores pondence with the enemy" He was convicted Oct. 3d. and imprisoned at Cambridge. On the 7th oi November the congress ordered him to be "close confined, without the use of pen. ink or paper; and that no person be allowed to converse with him except in the pres ence and hearing of a magistrate of the town or the sheriff of the town, where he shall be confined, and in the English language, until further orders from tbis or a future congress" He was 90 con- fined in the jail at Norwich, Conn. In May, l776, he was released on account of failing health and sailed for the West Indies in a merchant vessel. He nor the vessel were never heard of after ward. Benjamin Church was the first traitor of the republican cause of Amer ipn

BaYaria's Maniac King
From the Chicago Tribune.

HroIu the Nmcaeo lIlDunt.
 King Lois, of Bavaria, does not grow less eccentric with age. His latest kink is dislike to be mentioned by the newspapers, even in a friendly way. 4 short time ago an editor at Spires pub lished some watering place correspond ence from Kissingen, in which the writer referred to the regret experienced by the inhabitants of that place at not more frequently being favored with visits by his Majesty. Forthwith the editor was arrested, tried and sentenced to prison for two months. Perhaps tue Kings de- termination to allow no mention of his movements was caused by an incident which took place just after the Franco German war. The King met in the streets of Munich a returned wounded soldier and addressed hIm, but finding himself not recognized expressed his surprise and announced his identity. "But how should I know your Majesty" expostulated the soldier. "You never go to the army, and never go to the play"

An Intelligent Horse.

4 Russian colonel sold one of his horses to a merchant at a very high price, iutima;ing at the same time that be was very 10th to part with 1t, the animal being so capable and intelligent as "only wanting a tongue to be per feet" The merchants delight at his bargain, however, was somewhat dashed by the news brought him next day by his groom that the horse was incapable of drinking properly, having only half 8 tongue. At this fatal revelation of the colonels real meaning his victim at once laid the case before & magistrate, but the defendant maintained, amid the uproarious laughter of the entire court, including even the presiding judge him self, that he had given his customer fair warning of the defect, his words being tlmt the horse "only wanted Q tongue to make him perfect" and he appealed to the plaintiff himself for a confrma- tion of his statement, which the latter, with extreme reluctance, eventually gave.
