SAN CARLOS was visited last week

SAN CARLOS was visited last week by Hon. J. D. Atkins, of Tennes- see, who represented that State Tn Congress for several years. He is now Commissioner of Indian Al
 fairs and made an official visit, ac- companied by Judge Holman, Chairman of the Congressional Committee on Indian Affiirs, and other members of the Committees, and thelr stenographer. They re- mained at the Agency for a part of a day, and then turned their eyes to the rising sun ani hasteaei toward the Indian Territory. That august Committee, from whom so much was expected, in less than twenty-four hours informed them selves as to the inwardness of the San Carlos Reservation and the releDtless Apaches, and will doubt less make an elaborate report of what they saw and heard, draw their per diem and mileage, and leave our Territory at the mercy of the savages. Indecent haste indeed. Far better for Arizona il the Committee had never come.

The pale-faced moon follows in his train as the royal queen of night, while court- less myriads of brightest stars twinkle. and sparkle and glisten in the dearest and purest of firm aments, presenting q scene almost awe-inspiring in its superlative beauty, celestial glory and amazing sublimity. To those who love the picturesque, grand and rugged in nature, Arizona is won derful in its topography and en- chanting in its climatic excellen- cies. While the winters of the North are hyperborean in their severity and half-yearly ill their duration, Arizona's climate for the entire year is mild, salubrious and health givlng.'

ARIZONA.

The immense area, varied cll-
 mate and boundless resources of
 the United States, are, we believe,
 but very imperfectly understood
 and falntly realized by q large DOT
 ton of the inhabitants of our
 country. It was fortunate, per
 haps, that the. sterile and rocky
 lands of tho New England States
 were the first to feel the tread of
 the Puritans and that later gen
 erations should advance the tide
 of civilization and direct the
 "course of empire" through the Middle, Western and finally the
 Pacific States and Territories.
 Just now the autumnal glorirs of the timbered States are at their zenith and the abundant harvcsts of the Central and Western DOT liens of the continent have been gathered and stored for the sus- tenance of the non producing re- ! rions of Uncle Sam's dominions.
 Here, in Arizona, the wealth is buried in the bosom of the great hlls and along the valleys of the streams. In an agrlcultural sense the Territory will never be great or
 wp:lthy as Illinois, Iowa and other
 distinctively agricultural portions
 of the UnIon. But in the
 great mountains of Arizona are
 stored the minerals which entt
 into the worlds commerce and by
 which trade among our own peo
 ple and between the nations of the
 earth is kept in motion. Ant
 while autumn brings the many hued splendors and glories of th' forest to the East, Arizona is b,
 no means devoid of the grand sublime and beautiful in the reain
 of natural scenery. The might. mountain peaks and crags stand ; out in bold relief and the frs ; rays of the morning sun gid , them with Q shining brightnes and radiant glory that is almos celestial. And as the god of da.

THE late census of Massachusetts revealed some curious facts. The enumerators found that the women and girls outnu nbered the men and boys by 76,627. There is no other State of the Union. little or big, where the female surplusaSe reaches this extraordinary figure. The tables of the successive cen suses, State and United States. taken in Massachusetts during the last five years, show that the growth of excess of women over men-the crowding encroacnment of the female population upon the male has been swift and terribly relentless" In 1Sl1 tie excess of females in Massachusetts was 1872 almost exactly one-tenth of what il is at present. The forty-fve years since then have increased the population of the State only about 250 per cent. They have increased the female majority 1000 per cent
 This would indicate that grea' numbers of men are quitting tnt State and leaving their women behind them for good. Why dc they thus escape from them? | casts a shade on the attractiveness of the Massachusetts females.

rr1E JUpICIAL IMDRouLIO.


 Saturday lust a rumor circu- lated in Clifton to the effect that the United States Judges in Ar izona hal been suspended. On Monday this rumor was confirmed and we learned that John c. Shields, of Michigan, William Porter, of California and William H. Barnes. of Illinois, were ap- pointed Chief Justice and Asso- ciate Justices, respectively of Ar izona vice Sumner Howard, D. H. Pinney and w. F. Fitzgerald, sus- pended. In the suspension of Howard and Pinney the people of Graham county are but little in- terested, but the suspension of Judge Fitzgerald, at this time, will cost them considerable, both in time and money. It is but a few days since the Grand and Petit Jurors were summoned in obedience to an order from Judge Fitzgerald. who intended opening Court at the regular tune, giving Graham county, for the first time since its organization, its full com plemeut of Court terms-but from the turn events have taken such will not be the case. Graham county will have to be contented with one term of Court a year and continue to hold prisoners in jul, some o. whom my be innocent. at an ex pence of about S350 per month It being q disputed question as to whether Judge FitzS 'ral( would continue to act until hl successor arrived, and being de sirous to inform our readers as tC the probability of Court convenin; as ordered, we wired Judge Fltz gerald yesterday and received tn following reply:
 TUcsoS, Oct. 2f, 1885.
 To CLARION, Clifton:

 This answer virtually settles tn question, in regard to the conven ing of our Court, in the negative Judge Thurmond, Court Commi> sioner. will no doubt open and ad journ Court from diy to dIy untl Judge Barnes, who, it is said, ha been assigned to this District, heard from, bat the probabilitie are that Judge BTneS, when h does reach the Territory, will he gin his labors where Judge Fit gerald ceased, and that is at Tue son. If it had not been for tn disagreement of our Represents tivesi in the last Legislature, cause by the attempt to create the count of Sierra Bonita, We would hay had a County Court, thereby sa' ing considerable to the tax payer , and making ourselves, to certal extent. independent of politics wire pu.lers. No cause has as # been assigned for Judge Fltz5e' aids suspension, and none can | , unless it is political, as he bsa' the reputation of being an ab lawyer and just and impartl Judge. We trust he will renal amongst us in the practice of h profession, which we feel certa he will find more remuneratl' than the Judgship.

THE TOAD.

Oh, queer little chap is the honest old toad,
A funny old fellow is he:
Living under the stone by the side of the road,
'Ne3Jh the shade of the old willow tree.
He is dressed all in brown,
From his toe to his crown,
Save his vest, that is silvery white
And walks in the cool. dewy night.
aup, yaup, says the frog,
From his home IN the bog;
But the toad he SAYS never word.
He tries to be good.
Like the children who should
Be seen, but never be heard
When winter draws near Mr.. Toad goes to bed,
And sleeps just as sound as top,
But when May-blossoms follow the soft April
showers,
He comes out with a skip. jump and mop.
He changes his dress
Only once, | confess,
Every sprDg. and his old, worn-out coat,
With trowsers and waistcoat, he rolls in ball,
And stuffs the whole thing down his throat
k-rruk. k-rruk," says the frog,
From his home in the bog;
But the toad, he says never word.
He tries to be good,
Like the children who should
Be seen, but never be heard.
His legs they are long, and he leaps when he
walks,
Outstepping us all ar Il bound:
He wears both his eyes on the top of his head.
Queer place for ones eyes TO be found.
You may think him fright,
And of course you are right;
But his uglineSs | would defend,
For he dimes on the bugs that destroy the
sweet flowers.
He's the gardeners assistant and friend.
1aup, yaup says the frog,
From home i'll the bog;
But the toad, he says never word.
He tries to be good.
Like the children who should
BE seen, but never be heard.

The Care They Use in Buying Shoes-Sizes
of the Feminine Foot.
There is little doubt in my mind. "
said a Superior Street shoe dealer yes
terday. ''that it is in the selection OF
footgear that people are most fastid-
ious.
'Is much difficulty experienced in
dealing with women?" was asked.
Women have strong natural de-
sire, one that appears almost inborn, to
have as small and shapely feet as posi-
bic, but except in a limited number of
cases the desire is kept within bounds.
1t is not unusual for one to insist on
crowding a No. ) foot into shoe two
sizes smaller, but the majority while
buying the footwear have in view mainly
their personal comfort. There appears
also to be growing tendency in favor
of comfortable shoes even at the expense
of looks"
speaking of sizes, does the average
differ in various parts of the country?"
asked the reporter.
Il don't know Just what foundation
it has. or what investigations have been
made into the subject" said the dealer,
.'but it is generally recognized that the
ladies of the East wear the smallest
shoes. 1t is said that the average size
of the shoes worn there ranges from ! !!
to q. In Cleveland it probably ranges
from the latter figure to 81. and many
shoes half size larger are also disposed
of here. Shoes get larger as you pro-
gress to the West"
How about the Chicago girls?"
The bellies of that CITY have. TO some
extent been slandered. but it is fact
that their pedal eXtremtieS are larger
than the ordinary. The sizes probably
run from Nos. ) TO /, so you see that.
although not as d;minutive as they
might be. the feet of the young ladies
are not so large that they merit the
widespread attention bestowed upon
them As between Chicago and St
Louis. | think nature in this respect dis
tributed favors with an impartial hand.
An exception to all that has been said,
however. is the case of the SanduSky
belle. While only seventeen years of age,
she wears number "a shoe. Ohio thus
does not take a position in the back,
ground, even in the case of feet. y
