as il is cheaper than lumber or brick, and
thought by many to be the best for this
place. In preparing the adobe for building,
II is moulded like brick and then sun-dried.
The adobes are laid up with adobe mortar,
making smooth wall which may be nicely
plastered inside, thus giving the interior the
same appearance that other plastered walls
have. Most of the houses are but one story,
and have high ceilings. The city of Phoenix,
deservingly called the 'Garden City, is the
county seat of Maricopa county, and is stu
ated in a rich agricultural region. IL has
varied population of four thousand, Mexico
and China both being represented. The
nearest railroad station, at present, is twenty
eight miles from the city, but road will be
built this summer from Phoenix to Maricopa,
and will, doubtless, give new impetus TO
every branch of business in the city and the
surrounding country. Almost every street
in the city has shade trees on either side, at
whose roots run cool and bubbling streams
carrying life to trees and flowers. Flower
gardens have, for some time, been clothed in
roses which are nearly gone now. giving
place to the oleander and other beautiful
flowers.
While YOU were having such severe cold
in Michigan, during the. past winter, we
were enjoying the most delightful weather.
did not have stove in my school room till
December 10th, and kept fire but few entire
days during the winter; the outside door and
windows were open every day. very seldom
needed wrap, other than my riding habit,
to 90 TO my school three miles distant.
We ate dinner Christmas day between two
open doors. New Years day was quite as
warm. My uncle took up honey that day,
from hives standing in the open air with no
protection. / think there was not day
during the winter that the bees were not out
more or less.
All crops are raised by irrigation, as we do
not have sufficient rainfall to furnish the
necessary moisture. We have good schools
here and good society. In fact we have
every thing that you have east, ndmore,
for we have a climate that you cannot buy
in Michigan.
OF course, all enterprise in Arizona is yet
in its infancy. But with her healthful cli-
mate, so inviting to him who seeks a western
home, and containing fertile river valleys
and rich mines which call for more indus
trious men and women to develop their re-
sources, Arizona will, ere many years, add
another star to the Union flag and be one,
but not least, of our sisterhood of states.

been found in the ranks of the democratic

CERTAIN AMENDMENTS have been proposed
to the pending stenographer's bill for the
9th judicial circuit, in accordance with sug-
gestions heretofore made by the NoRTHERNER.
The power of removal is extended TO the
board of supervisors, SO far as their own
county is concerned, chancery causes are not
to be taxed stenographer's fee unless the
service of stenographer is required on the
hearing, and in no case is the county to be
required to pay any compensation for tran
scripts, except in criminal causes, on the
order of the circuit judge. where such tran
scripts shall contain more than 500 folios,
and then only at reasonable rate for
such excess. The salary is fixed at
s., 500 per year, to be apportioned by the cir
cult Judge in proportion to the business
transacted in the circuit court of each county.
With the proposed amendments, the bill
seems to be unobjectionable, and, if passed.
would probably be satisfactory.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, May 4, 1885.
MIR. EDITOR: Please find enclosed sub
scription for the NoRTHERNER which is every
week welcome visitor in our western home.
We are now having and have had for sew
eral weeks the finest summer weather that
one could wish for. To Michigan observer,
the present state of vegetation would indicate
the 4th of July, rather than the 4th of May.
Strawberries were ripe here in March and,
since the last of that month, we have had,
from the gardens, new potatoes, beets, let
tuce, peas, string beans, cabbage, turnips,
onions and radishes in abundance.
The stranger who thinks we dwell in a
wilderness beyond the borders of civilization
would be much surprised, should he now
visit our valley and behold the broad fields
of waving grain, nearly ready to be harvested;
the vineyards and orchards whose trees, even
now, bend beneath their load of growing
fruit, and the green pastures surrounded by
shade trees and cooling streams where, at all
times of the year may be seen herds of fine
looking horses, cattle and hogs. You may
think il seems strange to speak OF a herd of
hogs, but they are not kept in small numbers
here as by the farmers in Michigan. / have
never seen less than one hundred in herd
and. on many farms, several hundred may
pasture for hogs; they keep fat on 1t without
grain.

Considerable grass was cut in the valley
before the middle of April Alfalfa yields
four good crops of hay in one summer. 1t il
much like the clover raised in Michigan
though different in one respect, as il will

Very little corn is raised in Salt Rive

keep away from the disease yourself. II you do
visit case, battle yourself aud change and disin-
feet your clothing before You go where there IA a
child. IT is probable that the contagium Of scarlet
fever may retain its viruence for time, and be
carried long distance In various substances and
articles in which it may have found lodgnent.
While 1t is not definitely proved that the germs Of
Of scarlet fever are propagated In any substance
outside the living human animal body, 1t is possi
BILE that they may be found to be thus propagated.
Therefore, and because the breathing of air laden
with emanations from decaying meat, from sewers
cess-pools, Sinks and other receptacles of hth Is
believed to endanger health, great care should be
taken to have the house, premises, and everything
connected with dwellings kept clean and dry; TO
have house-drains constantly well ventilated; and
to have all carriers OF lth well dsinfected. DO not
permit child to enter privy or water-closet, or
breathe the air from privy or water-closet, into
which -disnfected discharges from persons sick
with scarlet fever have entered, to drink water
or milk which has been exposed to such air. DO not
permit child to ride in closed carriage in which
has been person sick with scarlet fever except the
carriage has since been thoroughly dsinfected with
fumes OF burning sulphur. All influences which
cause sore throats probably tend TO promote the
taxing ana spreading VI tnls ulbeases Among tne
conditions external to the body, liable to spread
scarlet fever, perhaps the most common are infec-
ted air. infected water, and contact t0ith infected
substances or persons. Because Of this, and as
means of essening the danger of contracting other
diseases, the following precautions should always be
taken, but particularly during the prevalence
of any such disease as scarlet fever. Avoid expos
to wind and to breathing cold, dry air. also the
use of strong vinegar any other article Of food
which tends to make the throat raw or tender Do
not wear or handle clothing worn by persons during
their sickness conyalescence from scarlet fever.
Beware of any person who has sore throat. Do
not kiss such person, take the breath of such
person. Do not drink from the cup nor use
any article that has been used by person sick with
this disease. Beware of crowded assemblies in un-
ventilated rooms. Do not drink water which has a
bad taste odor, which comes from source that
renders it liable to be impure, especially If there is
reason to believes ii may contain something derived
from person sick with scarlet fever.

FAILING to elect their member in the 34th
representative district, the Illinois democrats
propose to contest the seat and, by fillibuster-
ing, prevent the seating of Mr.. Weaver, the
newly elected republican member. This pro-
cedure is characteristic of the party, and is
bat following the precedents set by the
late democratic House at Washington.
Should Mr.. Weaver be permitted to occupy
the seat to which he has been elected, the re-
publicans will have majority of two on
joint ballot, and ought to be able to return
John A. Logan to the senate, q consumma-
ton that is desired by large majority of the
people of that state and by republicans
everywhere. Whether or not the democrats
will be able to carry out the plot they have
hatched, remains to be seen.

ACCORDING to latest advices, there is little
prospect of conflict between Russia and
England. That war should be averted, is a
good thing for mankind and it really appears
as though there had been nothing worth
fighting for involved in the controversy.
Nevertheless, the advantage is with Russia
who has, apparently, gained that for which
she contended. The outcome, even from an
English standpoint, is very humiliating to
the British government. The lion, most un-
questionably, was afraid to entrust himself to
the warm embraces of the rugged Russian
bear. Had England not distrusted her abil-
iiy to conquer her stalwart antagonist, war
would have been declared weeks ago. Hence
forth, the idea that Great Britain is invincible,
must be entertained cum Crane sails.

MEASURE looking TO the establishment

Consul Frisbie of Lyons France reports to
the State department tina. experience shows
that the state OF the sparkling wine trade fur
nishes a reliable barometer of commercial
prosperity. When people feel easy in their cir
cumstances they indulge in the more costly
luxnries OF the table, but when the times begin
10 pinch these superiuities are dispensed with.
Hence 1t is interesting to learn that the ship.
ments OF champagnes to the United States dur
ing hast October, which is taken the best
month OF the year for the comparison, were
twenty-five per cent more than in October,
1884. Mr.. Frisbie says that this increase is
phenomenal, and he contrasts 1t with the contin-
ued dizziness Of the European market, where, he
writes, "a long stsgnation of business and COM
mercial activity has been intensified by politi-
cal questions and the fears of wars This
depression, he finds, extends all over Europe,
and is of the most serious character.
It is Of great Importance that labor in this
country should recognize the blessings il enjoys
under our LIBERAL Institutions and economical
government. We have no court to maintain in
idle spiendor nor do We draft million of our
sturdiest citizens into u standing army, there
to be supported in camps or led, at ruinous ex-
pense, into wars with jealous neighbors. Our
largest expenditure is to pay pensions to those
who suffered in defense OF the Union, and this
sum, formidable as it looks, is really only taken
from one pocket to put in the other, as the
money goes directly back TO the masses OF the
people.
Hence, in the competition of the worlds
market We have an immense advantage. 1t is
not alone our vast territory or rich soil or de-
pnsits of mineral which account for our COM
parative prosperity and comfort. We have to
bless our liberal political institutions we'll
for our happiness; and this being so. all classes
have a common interest in preserving those
institutions against selfshness or passion or
the within of the moment.
How absurd, for instance, for a body of men
to meet in hail out west and demand, in the
interests of liberty, that the Office Of President
shall be abolished md hat hereafter the func-
tons of the executive shall be exercised by a
committee OF Congress. That the President
has large powers, is true, and ii is true, also,
that these powers hIve grown larger than was
In the minds of the founders of the Constitu-
tiOn- But il does not follow that the Office
should be abolished and all these great powers
be added to those now exercised by Congress.

The temperance movement at the south is
not confined to Georgia, but it is spreading over
a large territory. In Alabama striking pro-
gress Is shown. Thus at a local election in
Florence, one of the most prosperous towns of
the state, the prohi5itionists carried four out of
tie five wards. In another city OF the state the
local liquor license has been raised to 81 ,OOO
In Maryland a large majority of he counties
have adopted local option prohibition. Il: is TO
be noticed that this temperance feeling thrives
on most unquestiOned democratic soil; and the
favorite theory OF many good people at the
north, that democracy and "free rum" are
Synonymous terms, may have to he modified
TO suit the circumstances
