A Wonderful Piece of Mechanism.

A Wonderful Piece of Mechanism.
New York Sun.
E. NJ. Caskins, of Warrenville, has just
completed one of the most wonderful
pieces of mechanism ever produced. He
has worked on it.twenty years, and like
Darius Greene's flying machine, " at last
it is DONE" On a large platform 7x2O
feet, constructed 80 as to represent noun
tain scenery, rocks, trees, lawns, rivers,
cascades, caves and lakes, there are
several hundred moving figures of men,
birds and beasts. In the center is life
like fac smile of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
at Mount Vernon. On the roof are two
beautiful figures, carved and painted so
as to represent sculptured marble, guard
ing with drawn swords the historic man
sion, while a guilt eagle perches upon
the porch. In the room Washington is
lying on his death-bed, surrounded by
weeping friends. In the kitchen are
colored servants at work. In the yard
are men sharpening their scythes and
chopping and saving wood. Several
incidents connected with Indian life are
wildly pictured. Railway cars are run
ming, and a ship unfurled and aided
with passengers floats in a miniature
river. Even Noah's ark is represented
with Noah at the head of the process
sion marching into it, while upon the
hill tops surrounding are men and WON.
en- awe-struck at the rising waters. A
perfect grist mill in operation is repre-
sented; also country home, with the
father and mother sitting by the fire.
side, reading by the light of pine knots.
The figures are all kept in motion by a
small overshot wheel, less than ten
inches in diameter. All of the figures
were carved with jack knives, Mr.. Cask-
ms having worn out several knives since
he began the work.

THE Industrial Exposition at PheniI, aided by 6 generous donation from the Territorial treasury, does not present the attractions that usually characterize affairs of the kind, if We can properly judge by the unanimous reports of those who attended it. The lack of the products of the field, orchard and gar den is particularly noticeable and the visitor is much disappointed by the mes- ger display. Too much attention seems to have been gwen the speed programme and, it is said, the farmers took umbrsge at the disproportionste inducements ID that department and refused to coop crate with the managers. However that may be, the cultivation Of the soil it peculiarly the chief industry m the Salt River valley, and the local man. sgement should have caused the bus bandmsn's products to be properly rec. ognized according to their importance The lack of transportation facilities nat urally gives to the Exposition more the character of a county fair, the exhibits from the other counties being very hm' tied, and visitors from abroad expected to see great displays of fruits, vegeta' bles and cereals, such as they felt cer' tain the Salt River valley could easily produce. Those parties who have Ie turned from the Fair say the whole dis play would require DO larger space than twelve feet square, while the horse rae ing was the only attractive feature, tC winch all the energy of the manage ment seems to have been devoted. We regret tbis der Ilorable mistake and hope that another year may retrieve the pres ent b!unders and give to the people o Arizona an Exposition of it's industris resources rather than a competitive eI hibition of the "fsst" qualities of th' nappla

The following special telegram from Washington was received in Santa Fe, New Mexico, & few days ago and has since been confirmed by private letter. I, is taken from the New Mexican, and tt IS a cheerful item of news:
 There is some reason for assuming that the demand dy the people of Arl- zons and New Mexico for the removal Of the Apaches nos under the control of the war department to the Indian terrtOry will be scceded to next spring. An officer of the war department stated yesterday that the removal had practi- cslly been decided upon, although 1t would not be attempted this fall. It is felt to be a delicate task to move the Indians from 8 reservation so cOnve- niently situated for the frequent preda- tory raids m which they have hereto fore engaged, and the removal will only be made when II is thought there will be the least inclination to resentment or opposition. Secretary Lamar was asked this afternoon if he would con- firm or deny the reported decision to move the Indians, but replied that he preferred to have any statement come from the vsr department. While the reservation is still under the control of the interior department, these Indians as 8 tribe, he added, were in charge of the war department, and their agent was sn officer O, the army appointed by the president, so that the Indians could be moved by the department which now has charge of them, although the reser- vation could only De changed by an act of congress"

The other day an old fellow named Jose Onoire Ojeds, died over ID a town of the state of Jslisco. sged ll5 years. He had been married twice, and only a year ago, thought seriously of 6 third wife, when death came along to stop his matrimonial scheme. Some time ago an old fellow was living at San Miguel ds Allende, aged l35 years, a man still vigorous. The records of the parish church confirm hIs claims to a great age. Not long ago. down in the pretty little tropical village of Orixabs there died an old woman aged 140 years and few months ago a woman named Martina Riviera died hess at the age Of 15O years, a fact thoroughly attested: the Indians have a proverb that their hair IS black when that of the Spsnisrd Is growing gray.
