New Military Company.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was held last evening at Woolsey Hall tor the consideration of the formation of a new military compa- ny for Phoenix.
 Deputy Sheriff F. P. Trott was called to the chair, J. Agsrd chosen Secretary, and E. J sBenneit Treas urer.
 A muster roll was produced and received the signature of something over thirty of our warlike young men, after which the company was sworn in by Adjutant General N. H. Sherman and proceeded to the cleo tion of officers, with the following result:
 Captain-C. NJ. Jameson.
 First ohn Eyrich.
 Second Lieutenant-T. ". Hine.
 A committee on bylaws was chosen to report at the next meeting.
 Great interest was manifested in the matter and it is the intention of those taking hold of the project to make the new company the crack company of the Territory. IL is composed of able, energetic young men who have in their turn chosen good officers, and we see nothing to prevent the company from being all that is desired if it has the persever> ance to work, which we believe it possesses in a marked degree.

Old Indians.

Dr. Levi k. George, of Tucson,
 reports some old people living in northern Arizona. He and party
 found tribe known as the Wakoyas on the Colorado rIver in small valley shut in by high ranges and maintaining their independence of all other tribes. Here he found in> divIduals ho are said to be eighty, ere hundred and ten, one hundred and seventy five and one woman one hundred and eighty>two years old. The doctor, who claims to have seen much of the world, be> lieves that these claims are true and argues from the appearance of the individuals and from their method of reckoning. He believes the spot where they live, shutting them out from all other tribes and healthful- ness of the place to be the principal cause of this great longevity.

Persons who have passed over the Mohave desert, near ehachapi, will remember the yucca plant which there attains the size of trees. An English company has leased 50,000 acres of land there and will utilize the yucca, commonly known as Spanish bayonet. The roots will be used fer making soap and the pulp will be compressed and shipped to London for the manufacture of paper.

The Hog.

The hog, studied from an artistic
 point of view, is~a dismal failure
 but viewed in the light of long,
 felt want, he looms up a resentment
 and lasting success.
 The origin of this bird is lost i'll
 antiquity (whatever that may bel,
 but that he is the long sought miss
 ing link between man and the higher
 animals there can be no doubt. We
 say higher animals, but do not in>
 terpret too literally. A man can
 get higher than any qnadruped
 known to science, if properly educa- ted and furnished with the right brand Of liquor, but he can and does get lower than any animal that
 breaths the breath of life. In many respects a man is just like hog, only more so-no offense 70 the hog. A hog is bulI-headed and stubborn 50 is man. He likes t. have his back SCI iatched-so does a n:an. He can get his two hundred I 'unds of avoirdupeis through hole that bantam rooster could net find with an opera glass-so can a man, if he happens to be politician and up to snuff.
 The very thing hog is expected 10 do is the very thing he don't do and couldn't be hired to do with four dollars and a silver plated swill trough. When he gets into the flower garden, instead of walking around and enjoying the sweet per fume of flowers, he imagines he has a special call to solve the Chinese question, and starts for that far off Kingdom by direct route through | the pansy bed. When be is about half way there very mad woman causes him to change his mind and he starts on a tour of inspection. l She drives him up to the gate and makes a wild rush at him with a broom in order to add eclat to the finish. She adds it. The hog looks 1 at the gate as if he thought of buys ing it, and then with a noise like ripping up eight miles of plank he makes a rush ia the opposite direction, and the air is full of stripe stockings and embroidery. Then the woman cries, goes into the house and puts some court plaster where it will do the most good, and ,ives boy quarter to get the hog ut of the garden. The boy drives Jim the other way, and the hog yhiris and goes through the gate vith a grunt of triumph.

 The Republicans of Arizona owe debt of gratitude to the Hon. Clark Churchill for the masterly manner in which he defca,ed the effort of the Democracy to throw out a precinct in Yavapai county, which If they had succeeded in doing would have resulted in not "nly giving this county 10 Democratic Board of Supervisors, but would have changed the political complexion of both houses of the legislature from Re- publican to the opposite party. Unaided and alone, but armed cap a-pie with the armor of right and justice, General Churchill went dauntlcssly forth te battle, and in the justness of his cause, prevailed over the combined efferts of the legal talent of the Democrats of northern Arizona and their Republi- can experimentation

 EDITOR HERALD: I notice many 1 schemes and laws suggested by the papers of this Territory for the Gem eral Assembly to pass, and especially is this the case by our local papers Now all these suggested laws, acts, and schemes have for their aim and ultimate result an increased expend~ iture, consequently increased laxa- ton. Why is it we hear of no sug> gestions for a decrease of the oneT- ous taxation under which our clti- zens are groaning. It is stated that tue highest taxes paid by the people of the Territory of New Mexico is one-half of one per cent, while in this Territory the people pay from to percent. This fact of itself is doing more to discourage immigra> tion than can be counteracied by forty industrial and Territorial fairs, or published resources of Arizona. Will not some patriot and friend to the people, who has no ax 10 grind, suggest some legislation for the re- lief of the people, as upon the pros perity of the masses depends the success of the county.
 There are many ways by which a great deal of the burthens now op- pressing the people could be light ened by proper legislation upon the subject of fees and salaries, court | expenses, county and city charges. The effects of extravagant finan> 1 cial legislation are seen daily in the of attachments and notices of Sheriff's sale prevalent in our Territory. Since retrenchment and | is the natIon's order, will not i some member of the legislature im- mortalize himself by laying down his ax, and take up the hatchet for the people and legislate for the greatest good for the greatest num> Der?

 3. It cleanses the finest laces, cambrics and embroideries, also the 1 Heaviest blankets, quits and spreads l without injury. 4. It cleanses any article of wearing apparel perfectly; also calicoes and ginghams without ex- tracting the color, and woolen goods and blankets without shrinking them.
 5 It washes, steams and bleaches the articles at the same time.
 6. It saves labor, time, clothes, soap, mendin, and last but not least, health and life.
 2. It is sufficiently large for any family, hotel, or laundry, as it holds IT shirts or 40 or 50 ordinary pieces, or blankets, or quilts, or large size tub full of assorted clothes.
 8. It is made entirely of metal and very simple; consequently it cannot get out of order, and with ordinary care will last ten years.
 g. It does away with the use of the breaking wash-board, also patent soaps, washing powers or fluids, which contain chemicals, that invariably rot the clothes, and are also an injury to health, though seemingly do good work,

vANDERBILT's PROPOSAL DECLINED
 NEW YORK. Jan. 13-W. H. Van
 derbilt on Saturday last add dressed Q
 letter to Mrs. Ulysses Grant, tender
 ing her as gift the debt and judg- ment for $150,000 which he hslds
 against Gen. Grant, also the mort
 gages upon Gen Grants real estate and personal property, coupled only
 with the condition that the swords,
 commissions and medals, the gifts from the United States and different cities of foreign government, and all the objects of historical interest be presented to the government at Washington at the Generals death, or sooner if Mrs. Grant so desires. To this letter General Grant replied, stating that his wife accepted the trust which applies to the articles enumerated to go to the government of the United States at hIs death, but papers relating to his other prop erty will be returned with the request that it must be sold and'the proceeds applied to the liquidation of the debt due to Vanderbilt. Yesterday Vanderbilt wrote another letter wh ich he addressed to Gen. Grant, in which he says that he would in- sist on Mrs. Grants acceptance of his proffered gift. He continues: ''I will as fast as money is received from sales of real estate, deposit it in the Union Trust Co.,, and with the m oney thus realized will at once create with that company tIust with proper provisions for income, to be made over to Mrs. Grant dur Ing her life and giving power to her to make such disposition of the principal by her will as she may elect" This brought out note of acceptance from Gen. Grant and one of continued deClination from Mrs. Grant in which she says: 1T fiud cannot, l will not accept your mu- nifcence in any form, and I beg you will pardon this apparent vacillaiioE and consider this answer definite and final. With great regard and sense of obligation that will always re- main, I am yours very gratefully.
