A DEAD GIvEAwAY.

The adjournment of the legislature at Prescott has evidently had very depressing effect. Here is what one of the capitals editors, who seems to take great pleasure in advising the laboring classes to stay away from that beautiful little city, has to say:
 "We would earnestly advise persons who contemplate coming to this sec tion of Arizona in search of employ ment to desist, for there is nothing here for them, and to-day many men are idle, looking out for something to turn up. Men with capital we do want, and can assure them that opportunities are plentiful for safe in- vestments. Let poor men keep away" This is the first intimation we have had that this section of the territory is to be reserved exclusively for the benefit of the wealthy class, and 1t cer' tainly does injustice to the enterpris' ing and wealthy citizens of Prescott.

Cattle Prospects.

A St. Louis dispatch of the 18th instant says: Ames T. Atwater. sec retary of the National Cattle and Horse. Growers Association, who has been visiting the towns of Texas in the interest of that association, re- turned to the city to day. He reports great diversity of opinion regarding losses during the past winter, they being variously placed at from one to ten per cent. His own estimate is from three to five per cent. The winter was the most severe ever ex- perienced. One hundred and fifty thousand cattle jrifted southward and are now in the vicinity of Devils Run and in the Pecos river country, Roundup parties have already been tartcd for that section, but owing to the poor coalition of the cattle it will require much time and careful driving to bring them back. The closing of the trail north will compel owners to throw much of their surplus stock on the market this season, which will no Coubt depress prices of beef. There is no question but that the Texas ranges are overstocked and ranchmen will be compelled to get rid of a large number of COWS, two-year-olds and even yearlings, to relieve the burden and these will have to go mainly or the market. The northwest will re ceive cattle which come there b, trail, but not otherwise, and the clos
 ing of the trail will close this outle
 for Texas cattle"

Cattle For England.

A special from Superior City, Wis. says: "A sale of Goo head of cattle has just been made by the Powder River Cattle Company to the Marquis Demors-price $50, ,ooo-for shipment to England. This is the first sale of a series to soon follow. Arrangements for the shipment of 2,ooo more head have been made by the same com pany, which has extensive ranches Tn Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana. The cattle will be stall fed at Duluth, and shipped by lake to the seaboard, thence to England, with which coun' try's government, it is claimed, ar. engagements have been made for the shipment duty free.

WHY?
By MRS. L. CRARY sADLER.

Why is it that SO many persons
and families neglect to take theil
local paper? Some say it is too
little for the price asked. But il it
was not bigger than this sheet oil
letter paper on which I am writing
it would be bigger than any one
who would say that.
If size is merit, let everybody
subscribe for the New York Jour-
nal of Commerce. That was nearly
az large as a blanket the last time
l saw it, and it was the same price
as the st. Tammany FARMRR. But
what good would it do? 1t is vel!
in its sphere. but its sphere is. not
st. Tammauy parish.
Everybody ought to take an in
terest in local affairs. It is well to
know what is going on all over the
world. It is better to know what
is going on ut home. Aud all home
investments tell OH the people, ms
well as the individual enterprise Of
few. And nothing so helps a
town or village to keep abreast of
the times as a widea axe local
paper. It not only shows enter
prise and originality. but it speaks
with mo uncertain sound" to the
big papers away from home. The
editors of the city dailies owe much
to the interesting and useful in
formation gained from the many
local exchanges they receive from
the numerous towns and villages
scattered over the country. And
well do those editors know, by
these tsll-tale locals, how the town
is going up Tor down) as the case
may be. Why. then. are they not
better sustained? It would he q
benefit if every family took the To-
cal paper. All the money paid for
it would come bnck in some tangi-
BILE shape to all who invested. 9th
or papers should not be ignored,
but tue local paper should have an
honored place in the family mail.
