Mr.. SMITH, of Tippecanoe, moved to
amend so as to include the Superintendent

propriety in making an exception to the
office of State Superintendent
Mr.. KRUGER: 1t seems to me il would
require q separate amendment TO the Con-
stitution to change tbat office.
Mir. SMITH, of Tippecsnoe: l understand
IL TO be a constitutional office because the

Mr.. MOODY: / trust the report of the

"The deadly Gila monster" is now the word. It has always been argued that this reptile did not bite and that it was perfectly harmless. Some people have even gone so far as to say that it was splendid eating when properly cooked and that the Indians, especially, regarded it a delicacy. It turns out now that the bite of the Gila monster is fatal. The "TucsoH Tailings," of a recent date con- tained the sad news that Colonel Yaeger, of Fairbanks, Cochise county, was bitten by one of these reptiles on the thumb while attempting to open its mouth, and that death relieved him of his suffering gs within few hours after he had been bit- ten. The sad ending of Col. Yaeger set ties the much debated question, as to whether, or not, the bite of Gila monster is fatal. The reptile in question is simply a saurian, very similar to the iguana of South America, from IS to 20 inches long, and is found along the Gila and Colorado rivers.

The Mojave Branch Railroad
 Purchase.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe's annual report explains the Mojave purchase in detail. It says that four instruments were executed. By the first the At lantic and Pacific, guaranteed by by the Atehison and St. Louis and San Francisco, purchased the Southern Pacific division between the Needles and Mojave, PAP miles, at $3O,OOO per mile, and until such time as title could be given by discharge of the mort gage upon it, took lease of it at annual rental of 6 per cent of the purchase price, the purchase price being payable when title is given, one-sixth in cash and the remain der in cash and Atlantic snd Pa cific firsts. The second instru- ment secured to the Atlantic and Pacific traffic rights and facilities between Mojave and Oakland and San Francisco, and use of termin- als at the latter point. At its option, on twelve months notice, the Atlantic and Pacific has power to run its own trains to those points. The advantages un> der the agreement are to revert to the St. Louis and San Francisco, or to the Atchison, or both, on their succeeding to the rights un- der the lease. A third agreement. executed by all parties. required the Atlantic and Pacific to pur- chase $3, ,096, 768 of it's own securi. ties from the Pacific Improvement Company for $1, ,524, ,356.46, payable in two years and 8 half in six installments, this being part of the consideration for the property and privilege acquired under the previous agreements. The fourth instrument was simply anenda. tory of the tripartite agreement of 1880, by explaining doubtful clauses and adopting others to the altered state of facts necessary to carry out the original object of the agreement.

It is not generally known that Arizona cotton, sugar cane and tobacco, and other products are now on exhibition at the Worlds Exposition. And to show what the press abroad think of our mineral and agricultural resources, we reproduce an article on that sucject, (which we print elsewhere in this paper) from the Weekly States" paper printed and published at the City of New Orleans, where the Ex- position is now being held. It is gratify- ing to know that Arizona is slowly, but surely, and gradually emerging from her obscurity, and that, ere long, her valleys and hills will be teeming with an indus triohs population who will make them yield their richest treasures. Itis notan utopian conclusion to say that Arizona, within the next decade, will occupy an important position as an agricultural and mineral State, and one among the wealthiest in the Union.

Our Tramps.

The City Marshal of San Rafael, Cali fornia, when he comes across 8 tramp gives him & cowhiding and tells him to "vamose the ranch" Here in Yuma, it Is different, and when he gets out of jail, after serving few days for some misde- meanor, he steals a barrel of bottle beer, gets drunk and takes the town, and has 1t all his own way. This, however, has not occurred since Tom Downey was ap- pointed night watch. The San Rafael tramp must he weak and weary variety to suffer the indignity before he goes The average tramp is endowed with a pair of legs that are trained to carry him out of danger, and brawny arms that can be used in defense of the superior agility of an adversary. In these desert lands he has keen appreciation of the beautiful in nature and the hos pitable in man. It impels him to such choice localities as Yuma, in num- bers. Our night-watch and our Sheriff and Deputy are muscular men, and they would probably hesitate to tako Il contract for cowhiding all the tramps that in fest this region, whose cases require only muscle. And these disposed of, all their fnesse would be brought into requisitiOn to deal with that more genteel class who are none the less tramps, and who vail their mendicancy under the thin disguise of trade, bartering commodities you do not want for the necessaries they must have and will not work for, while you feel that instead of lending to the Lord, you are only beguiled into wasting your sub stance on some worthless autobiography, orpoisonous lotion, or torturlng improve ment on a superfuous article of dress, and prefer the insolent demands of the tramp proper to the "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" of the reduced gentry that is "too proud to beg, too honest to steal" and too high spirited to work for living. Perhaps it would be better to commence with the embryo tramp and place at useful trades or ap. prentice upon farms the idle urchins who swarm our streets, attending school few hours every day with no definite object in their studies, and thinking of the future, if at all, as period in which they are to live by thelr wits, where the wits are often wholly wanting. Their foolish talk betrays a familiarity with things vicious and profane. that shames the vocabulary of the present prevailing tramp, and suggests the improved tramp of the near future, whose suppression will be still more difficult if not quite im- possible. But this is beyond the reach of local authorities, who can only deal with such solitary cases as come in their way, while the evil grows, unchecked, and every discussion of the best means for its prevention or cure, ends still with great interrogation point.

An exchange, under the title "How to Build up Town," tersely offers the fol lowing good advice, which we quote as being as applicable to this as any other place: "Talk about it; write about it; help to improve it; beautify the streets patronize the merchants; advertise in its newspapers; elect good men to all its of- fees; pay your taxes without grumbling; be courteous to strangers that come among yo1. Never let an opportunity to speak good word about it pass. If you think of nothing good to say about It, say nothing bad. Remember that every dollar you invest is permanent improvement and is that much money at interest. Never kick against any pro posed necessary improvement because it is not near your own door, or for fear that your taxes will be raised fifteen cents."

I boy dreams Of summer,

The small boy dreams of summer,
When now he drifts to Sunderland,
Where he's stung by the golden hummer.
And chased all through Cucumberland;
And he wakes while the bull is thanking him,
To find his father yanking him
Out of bed
By the hair of his head,
And then begin a-planking him,
And dancing on him for not being good,
And chopping, as requested, kindling wood

country which inspires him with respect for

AGRICULTURE.
The agricultural interest OF lie country
demands just recognition and liberal encour-

failing strength our nations prosperity by
the product of its steady toll, and bears its
full share of the burden of taxation without
complaint o.. agriculturists have but
slight personal representation in the councils
of the nation, and are generally con-
tent with the humber duties of citi-
zenship and willing to trust to the bounty of
nature for a reward of their labor. But the
magnitude and value of this industry is ap-
preciated, when the statement is made that
of our total annual exports more than three
fourths are the products of agriculture, and
of our total population nearly one-half are
exclusively engaged in that occupation.
The department of agriculture was created
for the purpose of acquiring and ditfusing
among the people useful information respect
ing the subjects it has in charge. and aiding
in the cause of intelligent and progressive
farming, by the collection of statistics, by
testing the value and usefulness of new seeds
and plants, and distributing such as are
found desirable among agriculturlsts. This
and other powers and duties with which this
department is invested are of the utmost i'm
portance, and if wisely exercised must be of
great benefit to the country. The aim OF our
beneficent government is the improvement Of
