NeMsnaners of To-day.

People generally, and even those who may be termed steady readers and close observers, have but a faint conception of the magnitude and influence the press of this country had attsIned. From a careful examination of the advance pages of the 1885 edition of the Ameri- can Newspaper Directory, issued May lst, by Geo. P. ROwell < O., of New York, it appears that there are l4,l41 newspapers and periodicals published Tn the United States and Canada; of these the United States has l2,973, an average of one papar for every 3,S67 persons. In 1881 the total number of newspapers was less by S23 than at present, and while the gain this year is not SC marked as in some previous years, 1t IS still con- siderable. Kansas shows the greatest increase, the number being 7s, while Illinois follows with a gain of 17. It IS curious to notice that New York, the scene of SO much political activity dur inc the last campaign, should have only about one-third as many new papers as the State of Pennsylvania. As an index to the comparative growth and prosper ity of different sections of the country, especially the Territories, the number of new papers forms an interesting study, and may we'll occupy the attention of
 the curious.

An Army Muddls.

WASHINGTON, April S0.-Fof . num- Der of years rumors have been rife in the War Department that an army or- der was forthcoming which, when issu- cd, would create considerable surprise. While no authintcc information is ob- tainable from officials, it is understood that the order to be issued by the Prssi- dent is to define the limits of the army It was an open secret for months prior to Secretary Lincoln's retirement that a controversy existed between him and Lieutenant-G General Sheridan relative. to the authority of the latter. The Sscre- tary of War finally wrote letter to the Lieutenant General. in which he defined the latter's authority. It is asserted that General Sheridan has come into conflict with the new Secretary of War in regard to the same questions ss to theif respective rights to command. On the 7th instant general order was issued for certain regiments to exchange stat ions by June 1st As the order was By command of Lieutensnt-G General Sheri- dan," it did not contain the name of the Secretary of War, nor the words with the approval of the Secretary of War;" Similar orders as shown by the records, when issued by General Sherman, con- tsined the name of Secretary Lincoln. In the order above referred to, the Second Regiment of Artillery, stationed at Washington, is ordered to exchange with the Third Regiment of Artillery stationed in the Gulf States. Certain surgeons of the army have expressed themselves as bitterly opposed to this change at this season Ofthe year. They say it would endsnger the health of the nnacclimated regiment, and that the transfer would be especially dangerous because of the threatened sickly season in the South. They say that the regi-
 ment stationed m the South ls accllmat- ed and can remain there without danger. Other officials say this IS the first of the
 kind issued ID the spriug of the year. Secretary Endicott Is nOwlin Boston. It is expected that the order, which promi- ses to be a surprise, will probably not he given out until hIs return to tho Department next Thursday.

President Cleveland has an amusing story which he fires at every applicant for position who presents himself armed with a petition. The story is to the sf- feet that when he was Mayor of Buffalo, petition was circulated by Q couple of wsgs in that city, and recieved the signature of hundreds of its leading citizens, who were afterwards mortified at learning that the petition to which they had affixed their names was addressed to the Governor, calling on him to remove Mayor Cleve- land, on the grounds that he was guilty of embedding public funds and was otherwise unfit to hold office. Usually by the time the moral of the story breaks in on the intellect of the applicant, he has an unpleasant realization thattthe signatures which he obtained after much effort are not worth the paper on which they are written.

Imporiant Decision.
IPhenix Gazette.


 Tn the district court this afternoon an important case was decided: that of Clark Churchill, Attorney General of the Territory of Arizona vs. James Adj son Reavis, claimant of the alleged Per alta grant, to quiet title to certain lands possessed by the former within said grant. At a previous session the court had decided that it had jurisdiction m the premises. When the case came Hp this afternoon, the defendant, Roayls, by his attorneys, moved for a change Of venue to Tucson, on the grounds that the proofs were with the Surveyor Gener- aI of Arizona and could not conveniently he brought before this court. As no ail- dayit was made to the statements set forward, the application was overruieI. The case then came mp on its merits ana was quickly decided for the plaintiff, the court stating that the case had been Depdipg before him for over a year. That at the beginning the defendant set mn that the matter was before the sur vevor general of the Territory Tor de cislon; that the latter officer had as yet snnoupcei no conclusion, and under these circumstances he would settle the matter of title, rather than permit such claims to hang up forever to the pre!u- dice and injury of parties m peaceanl,e9 ,ossessiou of the land. NIT. Churchill had secured the services ot that eminent conpseI. Thomas Fitch. who was present in court. but who had no opportunity or arprulng the legal points involved. Inns is the first victory for our people agalnSt the thieving Reavis, and affords ample cause for rejoicing. Let hIm be pusheu now 10 the last ditch.

For Their Scalps.
Prescott Miner.

lIre-Cptl 0lleEsl
 For the benefit of the sporting portion of our population who desire to combine pleasure with profit, We have examined the law passed by the last Legislature authorizing the payment of bounties for the killing of wild animals, and present below its salient features.
 The tariff as established by the law provides for the payment of fifty cents for each and every lynx, coyote, wild cat, or small wolf; while S2jJ is the price set on the head of oach large lOafer or timber wolf; for the scalp Of a bear or panther, the price is SlO. and for the scalp of each mountain lion the re- ward IS S2j. The scalp must have the ears of the animal attached, and the person who killed 1t must appear before Justice of the Peace and make ont and subscribe to an affidavit setting forth all the facts connected with the killing and the locality in which 1t occurred, and transmit the same, together with the scalp, to the Board of Supervisors of the county in which it occurred, who, on being satisfied as to it's correctness, will issue a warrant m payment of the bounty claimed, and immediately thereafter cause the scalp tO be destroyed.
 Any person breeding any of the above named animals for the purpose of se- curing the rewards offered by law, will be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and on conviction thereof will be subject to fine of not less than $50, nor more than s200, or imprisonment in the count , jail.
