GENERAL GRANT SLOWLY DYING.

yOnd Few Weeks.

No Hope of ProIonging His Life BE.
yond Few Weeks.
New YORK, March General Grant wis
better this morning. He had been enabled
to sleep during the night by the aid of strong
applications of coacine and the administra-
ton of sedatives. He tossed about in rest
less way till 2 a. H.; after which his sleep
was easier and in some degree refreshing.
There is no longer any doubt that the gene
rails malady has assumed an alarming form.
Dr. Douglass said this morning that, although
he had not seen the patient since the pre-
vlous afternoon, there was no reason to ex-
pect any improvement of permanent char
acter! The diseased tissue lies in such place
that the knife cannot be resorted to and there
is no hope of prolonging the life of the dis
tingulshed patient beyond few weeks.

Cleveland,s FIRST omciaI Acts.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The President to-
day accepted Their esignations otMr. Arthur's
Cabinet and signed the commissions of the
new Cabinet officers, who will take the oath
of Office and enter upon the discharge of
their duties tomorrow. Signing the COM
missions of his Cabinet Office was President
Clevelands first official act: The second was
to sign the commission of General Grant as
an officer on the retired list with the rank of
general Although the crowd of visitors
who come to see Mr. Cleveland inaugurated
has thinned out considerably, many office
seekers still remain. Petitions are in circula-
ton, Endorsements are being sought and SO the
ball is set in motion. Democratic members
of Congress generally approve. of President
Clevelands EXPRESSIONS respecting the civil
service The prevailing opinion is that there
will be but few changes in the purely clerical
forces in the departments, but that sweeping
changes will occur among postmasters, col
lectors, ETC., where the present officials are
stout politicians. Some Congressman say that
while the entire party will not be pleased
at the position taken by President Cleveland
on this question: there is strong element
ready to support him and that he will be up
held by public sentiment and ultimately win
over to him the politicians who will now OPP
pose him.

Mother and Daughter Left to Mourn.
BALTIMORE, March Con September last
E. H. Drake went to Wonans station on the
Maryland Central railroad as night telegraph
operator. He boarded with a widow named
Mrs. Catherine Greasacker, who has pretty
daughter Katie. Drake soon ingratiated him
self in the widows favor and began paying at
tentions to Katie, who was anything but
averse to receiving them. A few days ago
Drake called upon Squire English and asked
if that gentleman would marry him. The
squire advised him to have the ceremony
by minister and instructed him as to the
means of obtaining license. Tuesday last
Drake, accompanied by Miss Katie, started
for Baltimore ostensibly to procure the mar
rage license. They drove fine black horse,
the property of Mrs. Greasacker. Arriving
in Baltimore Drake took the girl to relatives
of hero and promising to return shortly drove
down town. Since then neither the $500
turnout nor Drake have been heard from SO
that Mrs. Greasacker mourns the loss of her
property and the daughter her love.

FREE ZoNE.-The new custom law that went into effect ou the 30th ultimo, estao. lished free zone fifteen miles in width south from the present line, and extending longitudenally from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. Under the new law, every man crossing the line from the American side will be permitted to take into the free zone goods and supplies not exceeding s10O Tn value, on which there will be no customs. If, however, the goods are to be taken beyond .he free zone, into the interior of Mexico, it will be necessary to secure permit so to do. though there will oe be no counsel fees as upon larger shipments. There are other regulations laid down in the new law which will tend in a measure to alleviata come of the troubles heretofore existingiu the importation of goods into Mexico.

REJoIoINGs DOWN SoUTH.-Lexington, Ky.-Mr. John T. Bruce, of the Onited States Revenue Collectors Office, in- formed an editor of the Daily Press, of this city, that for seven years he suffered terribly from rheumatism in his ankle, which most of the time was swollen to two or three times it's natural size, and was so painful that he could not put his foot to the ground. After trying every thing he could thing of without obtaining relief, he at 10 o'clock one morning ap- piled St. Jacobs Oil, and shortly after wards made two further applications. At 8 o'clock that afternoon the pain was gone; the swelling also disappeared, and the cure was as permanent as it was quick.

OLD PIcA CLIO M MINEs.-Dr. E. A. Star. ley, Superinte ndent of the Old Picachu mining property came to Yuma last Sum day. The property belongs to an East ern Company and there is no particular work being done at present. There are but three men employed, and they are kept prospecting some new locations which show up pretty well. He preferred not to say much about the mines until there are some sure developments. The Doctor has been in that country for the past five years and likes mining better than his profession. He returned to tLe Picacho mines last Tuesday. There will be no work dsne on the "old mines" till next Fall.

Mrs. G. W. Norton has Moon vine in her flo yer gar den, on the corner of Second street and Madison Avenue, that has grown, from the time it was first set out, thirty-five days ago, some twenty feet, and is now blooming, When first put into the ground it was only ''slip" about six inches long. This is one of the many proofs of the fertility of the soil in Yuma. All we need here is water in sufficient quantities for irrigating purposes to transform our homes in:o miniature paradises.

Exquisite Lines.

ED. SENTINEL. is 8 puzzle con. tanned in the following exquisite lines by Byron. Who among the SENTI MEL readers can find 1t? "Twas whispered in heaven'twas muttered in hell, An echo caught faintly the sound as it fell; On the confines of earth, twas permitted to rest, And the depths of the ocean its prese nee confessed; Twill be found in the sphere when 'tis ruin asunder, Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder; Twas allotted to man with his earliest
 breath, Attends at his birth and awaits him in
 death; It presides OCT his happin ess, honor and
 health; Is the prop of his house and the end of
 his wealth. In the whispers of conscience Its voice
 will be found, Nor even in whirlwinds of passion be
 drowned. h the heaps of the miser 'tis hoarded with
 care, But is sure to be lost by his prodgal heir. |. Twill not soften the heart and tho deaf
 to the ear, Twill make It acutely and instantly hear. {. Without It the soldier and sailor may
 roam; But woe to the wretch who expels it
 from home; So in shade let it rest like delicate
 flower, Oh! breathe on it softly 1t dies in an hour" Try for the answer, it is 8 provoking one. TAYLOR D. MCLEOD, CLIP, Yuma Co. A. T., June 26, 1885.

As Others See Us.

We make the following extracts from a letter written from Yuma to the Phoenix Gazette of a recent date, by Thomas O'Bren, Knight of the Quill, who re- gently spent few days among us. The limited condition of our columns pre- vents us from giving the correspondence in full:
 "It is fact though, that this city has re- sources of a peculiar and valuable char acter which the average denizen of Yu ma simply ignore and carelessly loses sigh Of. Several of the most striking illustra- tions of this can readily be understood by anyone who will take the trouble to visit the residences of MT. Chas, Brinley, which is almost directly opposite the court house, or the beautiful place of Judge W. H. Forge, which is at the south end Of Main Street, near the railroad crossing.
 "To the amazement of your cores pOn- dent We found the fragrant banana, and the deciduous lemon an absolute fact as to existence, and perfect success as an experiment.. The banana is equal to the finest Sandwich Island specimen, {, while the lemon is of type hitherto con- sidered failure on the Pacific coast or Florida. Some years age this country de- monstrated it's advantages for orange
 growing, but now she places before the public lemon. thin-skined. full of body of rich bouquet, and furnishing at matur- ity more than the ordinary amount ofjuice' first heard il. but evidence of an unques- tionable character and visit to the premises of the gentlemen before named proves beyond cavil or doubt that all the tropical varieties of fruit could be profit ably raised and shipped from this vicinity, out there is ss before stated, either lack of enterprise or money. There is only one way to speak of the horticultural conditions of this vicinity and that is to state that they are not appreciated by their own people.
 "Steamboats ply monthly up tto Color ado, but owing to the neglect of the fed Geral government in assisting to remove few almost insignificant Instructions, the navigation of the stream is retarded the commercial business of Yuma greatly impeded. and very productive section of country left undeveloped. It is to be hoped that the new administration will give this matter attention.
 "There are two weekly papers here-the SENTINEL, strictly home-printed paper, by J. w. Darlington, well-known and needing no comment at our hands, and the other the Republican, an institution of the patent exterior kind, conducted by J. s. Bancroft. Both these papers are ostensibly Republican in politics, but seem to be actuated more by a precarious business rivalry than Dy anythlng else, and more's the pity.
 "Outside the many people whose ac- quaintances was formed here, we met several of the heroes of the Thirsty rhirteehth," the reno wned Darlington of the Council, and the lively Purdy. of the House, supplemented by MichaelPatrick Ola umesiter, President of the third house. The placid tranquility of these gentlemen on their native heath makes your correspondent doubt that the "hloody thirteenth" had an existence ex- cept in the dreams that followed Roden- hurgh's beer"
The Arizona sentinel., 1885-07-04

OBSERVE THE LAw.-There is a law upon our statute books that is not gen. orally known, and which should be needed by parents. It recites that persons, (boys) between the age of ten and seven- teen years. are forbidden to carry pistols, dirks, slung-shots, brass knuckles. and the like, under penalty of not more than $50 fine, or one month in jail or both. As parents would necessarily have to pay the fines imposed upon their children should they be found guilty of the crime, 1t is well that they should heed the law and keep their boys from carrying concealed weapons.

The Chufa.

The Chufa is a specIes of the grass-nut
 and is found growing wild upon the Gila
 river bottoms, Arizona. This IS in
 answer to queries from the Prescott
 Courier" an extract of which wasrecently
 published in the ''Weekly Examiner '
 San Francisco. The Chufa is grown ex- tensively as hog-teed in Spain, upon
 which the hog thrives and fattens. The
 natives also use the nut (which has a delicate Cocoa-nut favor) for making a
 beverage which is greatly relished by them. Whether the old Mission Fathers carri ed the seed from the Gila to Spain, or vice-versa, is not known; however, the Chufa is known te have existed here for
 many years as the oldest Indian now living can testify. Had the Commissioner of Agriculture, Wan. G. LeDuck, known of the existence of the Chufa in Arizona, he would not likely have sent to Spain for the seed in order to introduce it into the United States. The Chufa has mar row fiat blade, which is an excellent grass when young, and Is also pretty good hay-maker. Several crops of hay can be cut from the Chufa during the season without injury to the nut, which grows upon the roots. The yield per acre has been known to be some 15 ,000 pounds, or over 300 bushels in good seasons and thorough cultivation. The Chufa loves water and will crowd itself to the front if it has plenty of it applied. The largest yields come by favorable seasons and tillage. Here on the Gila the Chufa lays in the ground dry and apparently dead until some Spring raise in the river causes it to germipate, when it grows to maturity without further assistance. The way it lives from year to year without cultivation or care is 8 mystery beyond human ken. It is here, and whether in its nativity or not, the past alone can reveal. There are hundreds of acres of 1t along the Gila which are never utilized. Wild geese, quail, gophers, rats and chip-monks wax fat from it's rich oily sub- stance, and millions of bushels of the nuts yearly lay in the ground without contri- butIng to the welfare and happiness of man. As far as I have travelled along the Gila river, from Gila Bend to Yuma, l have found the Chufa Aourishing luxur- iantly and well. Arizona lays claim to have been the home of some entelligent thrifty prehistoric people. The Irish potatoes grow wild here, as has been proven, Could it not be possible that these early inhabitants, Tollic, Aztec or who-so-ever they may have been. could have cultivated these and many other useful nuts, grains and other things, and what is now found is what nature has kept alive? The Chufa surely could have been of use to them ever as a nut which can be used in many ways as is now done with the Almond, Walnut, etc. The Yuma Indians eat the Chufa nuts with a gusto and relish them, meanwhile giving you glances of their approval, placid and SCRAPS.
