Benson to be the Isa Iroad Centre
 of Arizona Territory.

Surveyors on inc Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe railroad were at work the latter part of last week locating the road from the compa- ny's depot at this place along the river northward The road will run down the river for distance of 12 miles and then tuin east and through the Yellowstone district Little DragnonD to tLe Sulphur Springs valley, probably at q point near what is known as the Point of Mountain. The course from there to the Gila we have not learned; however, .he country thence is not of a character to retard their opera tions. The pass through the Yel- lowstone district is a better one than they expected to find, and is q mat ter of considerable satisfaction. How soon work at this end will be commenced has not yet been deter mined upon; however, the company have now ln their yard here all the necessary material for the construc- ton of 47 miles of road, so il can be pushed ahead at a moments n0- tice. Orders have already been re- ceivcd here for the erection of 20- stall round house. to be made of stone-the largest in this Territory or New Mexico, or perhaps any other point this side of headquar- ters Work on the Socorro end of this road IS being pushed ahead un- der several contracts, and track is being laid as fast us the grading will admit.
 Another road that we are to have is what is known as the Mineral Belt read. It was Tor while intI> mated that the company would not carry out their original intentions with this rod but the idea was without foundation; and now comes the Neis York Indicator, q ncwspa- per devoted rIinCirally 10 railroads, which says:
 "It is now settled that road will be built from Flagstaff, on tue A & P, through Globe district, Arizona, southeast to the junction of tie Southern Pacific and Sonora divis> ion of the A T. & S F. at Benson, ahOut 150 milps
 The next movement, without a doubt will be the extension of the Southern Pacific from the Needles to Benson, which would traverse the vel v heart of the most productive portion of Arizona. Benson Herald.

The s. s. Convention.

The first convention of Sabbath
 school workers in the Territory be- gins 10 night at the Methodist Epis- copsf church. a free exhibition of ; beautiful views with sclopticon
 will be given by Rev. G. H. Adams.
 The pictures will consist of biblical
 representations of the principal events recorded in both the old and new testaments, also copies of re- marka ble pictures by the old masters os the "Ecce Homo by Guido and the "Madonna" by Carlo Dolci.
 These beautiful colored pictures 9sili be followed by miscellaneous exhibition of statuary, etc, all of which will be highly entertaining and instructive.
 The convention will be called to order tomorrow morning by Col. Chrisiy and the regular business will then be proceeded with and per, manent organization effected. We are glad this first session of the Con- vention meets in our city and we welcome all the delegates from abroad who may favor Us with theIr presence. We are also glad that the wide awake Sunday School workers of Arizona are bringing our Terri. tory to the front in this good work. Arizona is not a "heathen country" by any means.

OUR correspondent, "Reilloc," '" whose communication we publish in to day's issue is, we think, mistaken in the matter of Crocker 6 Co. be- ing interested in the Peralta grant. We know that such has been a very general impression, and Reayis, in his deposition made here some time ago, undoubtedly lsbored hard to strengthen that impression. How ever, since his deposition was made, an inquiry has been made directly of the Southern Pacific people as to their connection with the matter, and reply has been received from Ghas. Crocker. Jr., declaring, posi- lively, that they have connection whatever with the matter.

Catching ostriches in the Desert
A strikinn difference exist. he-

A striking difference exists be- tween the corraled and farmed os> triches and those running over the African deserts. inasmuch as the latter never fight. Dr. Sketchley hunted for nine months in the des- ert. The birds have to be hunted scientifically. Certain facts are known, one being that the birds will always run in semi>circle. First they will run with the wind that they may use their wings to help them. After they get what a sailor would call "a head wind" they go around the other way. Tney must be run down. One hose cannot wind" them. The great trouble is to keep them in sight. They will run forty miles on stretch If they ever get breath- ing spell they. will gel away. The hunier starts out with fresh horse. 4 Eastman boy rides another and leads one.
 AS soon as it is seen which way the bird will run, the boy takes hs cue and drives to where he thinks the hunter will need the fresh horse. In tLe mean time the ostrich, singled out for the chase, and the hunter are speeding along like the winh, the latter strainipg every nerve to keep i'll sight of the bird, and tie bird making its most podigicus strides for freedom. A great deal HOW de- bends on the Bushman boy's judg- ment, in having the fresh hoise al the right place that no time may be wasted. It is seldom that the boy makes d mistake. The hunter leaps on lhe fresh horse and g'.ias on the bird, which, growing tired, goes more and more awkwardly. The hunter has only, when he catches it, to rap ii on the head with his hunt~ ing whip and the chase is over There are really only two kinds of osiriches, tie Nolth African and South African binds. The males are black and the females drab. All are of one color, drab, until they are two years old.-S. F. Bulletin

When Sugar Was Invented.
The Household gives the followina

The Household gives the following little history of sugar:
 The exact date of the invention of sugar is lost in the mist of fable. However, sugar is said to have been known to the Chinese 5000 years ago, and there is not much doubt that the manufacture of the article was carried on under the Tsin dy- nasty, 200 years before Christ. A strong claim for priority has been made for India. Probably the Hin> doos learned the art from the Chi nese, and from India the knowledge was carried further west.
 Three hundred and twenty-five years before Christ, Alexander sent Nearchus with a large fleet down the Indus to explore the adjacent countries. When that officer return> ed from his expedition, he brought to Greece an account of honey (su, gar) which the Asialics made from cane, without any assistance ffom tces. This was the earliest idea the western nations had of sugar, tue Jews, Egyptians, Babylonians and Greeks knowing nothing of it's use As late as A. D 150 sugar was pre- scribed by Galen, the famous pl'y- sician. as & medicine.
 Before the discovery of America sugar was costly luxury, used only on rare occasions. During tue Wars of the Roses, about 1455, Margaret Paston, wife of 8 wealthy country gentleman cf Norfolk, wrote 10 bel husband begging that he would "vorchsafe" 10 send her pound of sugar As late as the year TOO Il England consumed only 20,000,0 ,00( pounds in the course of lhe year, but sluce, the consumption has greatly increased, 2o,0OO,OO0 hundred weigh now being used by tn c Englisl people.
 The process of refining sugar wal not known in England previous tC 1659 That was probably an inven ton ef the Arabs. A Venetian mer, chant learned the secret from tn, Saracens of Sicily, and sold the ar for 100000 crowns.

WHO is it that is asking for 8 change or modification of the exist ing Tariffs ? Not the nanufactur- CTS of the country, for as yet no res quest of this kind has gone up to Congress from any manufacturing industry, north or south. Not the agricultu-slists, for in a Kansas Congressional district, where the issue was fairly raised quite recently, it was overwhelmingly decided against so styled Tariff Reform. " Not the laboring masses, skilled or unskilled, for when they have spoken, and that has not been sell dom. it was to demand that there be no further reduction of duties ex. cept on raw materials. Only the small voice of Q free>trade club, and eommercial interests pure and sim pie, pronounce in favor of modlfca-
 tion, which has been pushed to iis present status in Congress by a po- litical blunder.-Economtst.

JuGge Eitz2 erald.

The Washington Critic, March 13, and referring to the appointment of Judge Fitzgerald, says:
 General W. F. Fitz .erald, of Mississippi, who Was recently n mi- hated by the President and confirm ed by the Senate as an Associate Jus tice of the Supreme Court of Arizo, na, is one of the noblest specimens of manhood to be found in the couu- try. He is as gentle as child, and as fearless, when need be, as lion. His friend, General P. NJ. G. Turner, the eagle orator of Tennessee, speaks thus of General Fitzgerald in his sprightly paper, the Eusntng Scins CT, of Mem 2his: "President Arthur has sent 10 the United Stotes Senate. for confirmation or rejection, the name of Attorney General William F. Fitzgerald, of Vicksburg, Mis- sississippi, to be the Associate Jus tice of the Supreme Court of Ari- zona. General Fitzgerald is an al le lawyer, fearless and sagacleus ene- my of the bourbon, bulldozing, ele- ment that have held sway in certain portions of Mississippi fer several years. Having known General Fitz- gerald from his boyhood, the editor of the Scimeter has no hesitation in saying that President Arthur will never have reason to regret the ap> continent. William F. Fitzgerald l will prove himself capable, honest, | and faithful."

The transmission of sounds along the Grand Canyon of the Colorado has for years been a matter of sur prise to the prospectOrs and miners who frequent at intervals the iso- lated sections. Since the advent of the A. & P R. R. to the Colorado river, there is a basis to form some idea of how far sounds are trans mitted between the walls of the chasm, A train of cars crossing the bridge at The Needles can be plainly heard on quiet day at Cottonwood Island, distance of eighty-four miles. The fife and drum at Fort Mohave is distinctly heard at Bulls Head, a distance of eighty miles. The report of the sunrise gun at Fort Mohave can be heard at FL dorado Canyon, distance of ninety six miles, Champion.
