Perhaps some esteemed sub> scribers will be glieved when they get the correct answer to the problem" presented in the News recently: 1.-The month of Febru- ary, just passed, had four Sun days, four Mondays and four of every other day in the week. Can some one fond of figures work out the problem: 'When will this occur again?'" Since this was published many able mathematicians have labored on the problem, and replies are be- ginning to come in from all parts of the State. None of them are right.
 ''A subscriber from 1S73," sends inc following: "Every common year this century will have the same number of days each in Feb ruary, but in the rotation of this year it will not occur until 1891, which will be six years hence, and not again till 1903, "A, '25, '31, '42, '59, '59, 70, 's1 and 1993."
 Another esteemed correspond ent says: February, 1891, will correspond with February, 1886, in regard 10 four Sundays, etc."
 Now, the fact is that in every year when February has twenty eight days it will have four Sun days, four Mondays, and four of each day in the week.-L. A. Herald.

Childless great men. Robert Stephenson left no family behind. His wife died many years ago, and he remained a widower, so that the direct line from George Stephenson, the eminent engi- neer has died out. James Watt the noted inventor, left no de- scendents.

An 0ld-Time Wake.

"H. H." in the Decembernum. Der of the Century" relates the following as taking place at Los Angeles in 1888, forty-seven years ago: In 1888 there was a mem- orable funeral of woman over a hundred years old. Fourteen old women watched with her body, which lay stretched on the floor in the ancient fashion, with only a stone beneath the head. The youngest of these watchers was eighty-five. One of them, Tomasa Camera by name, was herself over hundred years old. Tomasa was infrm of foot, and so they propped her up with pillows in little cart, and drew her to the house, that she might not miss the occasion. All night long the fourteen squatted or sat on rawhides spread on the floor and sang and prayed and smoked; as fine a wake as was ever seen. They smoked cigarettes which were rolled on the spot out of corn-husks slit fine for the pur- pose, there being at that day no paper in Los Angeles fit for cig- arettes. Outside this body-guard of aged women, knelt a circle of friends and relatives, also chant ing, praying and smoking. In this outer circle, anyone might come and go at pleasure; but into the inner ring of the watching, none must come and none must go out of it until the night was spent.

The largest apple tree supposed to be standing in the United States may be seen in the yard of Delos Hotchkiss, at Cheshire, Conn. Its shape is symmetrical, the trunk being round and with out a scar or blemish upon it. There are eight large branches, five of which bear one year and the other three the next year. MT. Hotchkiss has gathered in one year from the five branches eighty-five bushels of fruit, but his predecessor harvested no bushels from the same five bran- ches. The circumference one foot above the ground and above all enlargement of the root is 13 feet s inches, the girth of the largest single limb being 6 feet 8 inches. The top limbs reach height of 50 feet and the spread of the limbs is 100 feet. The age of the tree can be traced by family tra. dltlon to 40 years at least.

Sure to Be.

It is not dra wing too heavily on
 the future of Arizona to predic, that within the short space of five
 years, more than half the popula-
 tion of our Territory will be found
 in the valleys of the Salt and Gila
 rivers. And it is in harmony
 with the history of the race, the
 world over. Land is the basis of all wealth, and wherever it can
 be had, and is susceptible of cul-
 tivation, thither men will natur- ally gravitate. They will seek
 that region where they can build
 up a home; where the family can
 be reared amid all the desirable surrounding of school and church. es, where in fact, the soil will yield generous returns for the labor entailed on all human kind
 by the primeval curse. In all ages and among all nations it has been SO, and will continue to the end of time. The fertile lands of the earth have been the cradles of civilization, the seats of power and the homes of prosperity. While other pursuits may create wealth and add to roan's comfort and well-being yetthey are mere. ly adjuncts to that enduring basis of all real prosperity-agriculture.
 Good land, remaining unoccu- pied, is growing less year by year; and wherever it can be had, eager settlers are f1ocking to secure, be- fore it is too late, spot of earth which they can call their own. Those conversant with our Terri~ tory know that nine-tenths of its farming lands are confined to the valleys of the Salado and the Gila. Scarcely twenty-five per cent. of these lands have yet been re- claimed. Where now there IS one home in these beautiful val leys, we believe that five years hence will see five. Along the Gila from its junction with the Colorado to the boundary line of New Mexico, there will be thriv- ing settlements, beautiful farms and happy homes. The entire valley of the Salt will be a gar den, smiling with productive ness. Arizona's seat of wealth, power and culture will be here. It will be the heart of our future state, and from its.arteries will flow out the life giving currents Of every part of this sunny land.

The first effect of the party nominations in
New York state has been favorable to the re-
publicans. The independent vote which swung
away from Blaine seems to have come back
bodily in support of the republican ticket. Not
only have the newspapers which championed
the independent movement returned to the re-
publican fold, but the organizations which did
such effective campaign work for Cleveland are
endorsing the Davenport ticket. Last evening,
for instance, the Brooklyn Committee of One
Hundred which was very active last fall in
Cleveland's support declared for the republican
nominations.
The democrats claim that the zeal of Tam
many and OF the party In general. will more than
offset these losses, but that must be regarded
as doubtful. 1t already appears that there are
discussions among the factions I'm New York
city, and there il no reason to suppose that the
ward politicians of that city can be relied on
Ior greater fidelity to the party this year than
in former campaigns. The declension of Flower
has also had q depressing effect upon the
party spirits. The campaign opens therefore
with the chances rather against the democrats.

The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes private
letter Oh Murat Halstead to s. p. Chase, when
the latter was Secretary of the Treasury uuder
Lincoln, In which Halstsad Is violently abusive
OF Grant, Sherman and Lincoln. The letter is
produced now for political effect, and if the Ohio
campaign Is to be conducted on war issues, y
perhaps the publication is not iii-timed. But
Mr.. Haistead will hardly be held TO very strict
account for excited criticisms on the conduct of
the war written during the dark days OF that
struggle. The greatest anxiety prevailed I'm all
minds, and a mass Of crude and intemperate
advice was hurled at those in power. The pri-
vste letters of . good many prominent repub-
licans of that day would, if published now,
speak pretty badly for the judgement and tenn
per of the writers, however patriotic the spirit
that prompted them.
