Sonora.
REX

A correspondent in the New Mexican Review, when discussing a scheme for the proposed purchase from Mexi- co of all lands lying north of the 22d degree of latitude, gives the following information concerning Sonora, Ariz ona's nearest southern neighbOr, and the one above all others of She Mexican States, Tn which sLe is the most largely interested.
 Sonora covering an area of Sl, l2C square miles, with l4l,O00 inhabitants and western coast line of zoo miles from mouth of the Colorado river to the mouth of the Rio Fuerte. While the eastern portion of the state IS covered by the terrible rough members ot the Sierra M6dre and intervening valleys west of the mountains, dry plains. ele- vated plateaus and bottom lands are en. countered. The dry plains occupy the northwestern portion of the state. The Rio Sonora, Rio Yaqui and its many Musquite are the principal streams 1ohAH unu NAllhkGS hIC SttuabCu Ou tAt rIver banks and the agricultural lands are also on river bottoms; wherever there are no streams, the soil can not be cultivated Cotton, lemons, lines pomegranates, oranges and peaches are raised, also grapes. Near the mouth of the Yaqui extensive salt plains exist pearl oysters are also found there. In the valley of the Yaqui and Mayo corn wheat, cotton, flax, indigo, coffee, tObac, co, beans and sucar-cane are raised:
 Hermosillo Is now the capitol of the state, which position was formerly Oc- cupied by Ures; both are on the banks of the Rio Sonora. Other principal towns are Altar, Magdalena, Suaripe, AlamOs. Ports there are: Gusymas Libertad and,Anbampo,th the former north and the latter south of Guaymas near the mouth of tine Yaqui. The min eral wealth of the state Is immense. Al. though there are very old mines, stll q great portion of the country IS hardly prospected. The mountains ID which copper, silver and gold occur. are as ( general rule, terrible rough and water is often scarce.
 Of old and known mining district: the following may be mentioned: Il
 The Alamos district 240 miles south east of GuaymBs, containing mostly silver. San Ildeionso de la CieneguillS northwest of HermOsilIo loo miles and about the same distance southeast oI Altar; gold and silver occur here. About twenty-five miles east thereof is Ssr Francisco, bearing gold ores, but where water IS scarce.
 The district of Mulstos is northeast of Altar. near the eastern boundary Oi the state. San Xavier, San Antonio d. la Hurta, Cieneguita, contain silver lead. At Arispe, OpatO, Nacossri, La IglesIa La ChipIon3, Moctezuma and many other points, copper ane silver are gain ed. Southwest of Altar antimony mIne: are worked, and in addition to all this mineral wealth, semi-anthrasite coal occurs at Santa Clara in the Ures dis trIct, covering an area of about seven square miles, about two and | miles from the river Ysqui and about twelve miles east of the town of San Xavier.
 In a circuit of 100 miles around Altar there are dozens of gold mines and the list of SOnora's riches could be continu. ed at length. Space however does not allow.

OId-Time Surgery.
IPIttsburg Dispatch.l


 X number of years ago there lived in Wheeling a certain Dr. Hullien, who be- came famous as a surgeon. Some of his operations were very brilliant and decid- edly awe-inspiring among the common people. One case in particular was thought tO be unparalleled at that time. A young lady belonging to one of the best families in eastern Ohio was terribly disfgured by a protuding lower jaw. Hearing of Dr. Hullien's skill as a surgeon she prevailed upon her father to allow her to gotO Wheel ing and see if anything could be done 10 improve the shape of her face. She went alone, and nothing was heard of her for two weeks except that she arrived there safe
 One evening, as the shades of night were gathering, a really handsome lady drove up tO the gate in front of the farm house and asked if she could get lodging for the night The well-tO-dO farmer said they did not keep a hotel, besides, they were expecting their daughter home at any time, SO they could not keep her. She said she guessed she would stay anyhow, and hopped out of the buggy. The farmer thought she was an escaped lunatic, and was about tO shut and lock the door in her face when the house dog came along and recognized the lady as his young mistress
 lt was impossible to satisfy her parents and sisters of her identity, so remarkable was the change in her appearance. In her pocket she had two sections of jawbone, each containing three teeth, hich ex- plained how the change had been made. The operation is quite common now. but at thIt time it was rare In this case there were three more teeth on either side of the lower jaw than usual, and as they grew they caused the jaw to project forward At birth the lower jaw was but little longer than the upper one. The surgeon merely resected the jaw on eithe- side con taining the extra teeth, cutting out one in front to make the jaw narrower and bring. ing tine ends of the bones together It was simple enough. but the country peo- pie lay awake of nights thinking and talk. ing abOutit

THR St. Lotus Clobe-Dsmocrat openly charges St. Joha with having received E bribe of S3S,OyO from the Democrats during the late calpalga. St. Jchn wrote the Globe-peuocr1t denying the charge. when that paper refused 10 pub fish his letter, ard denounced him as an infamous and uumitigatel liar" Now, if the Kansas scape goat is innocelt Of the charge Of selling out to the Democ- rncy he has a first class opportunity to prove his innocence, as the Globe-Dem- ocrat Is responsible for what 1t says and able to pay any damages that may be proved. This holy man must now come forward and prove hIs innocence, or be forever branded as the meanest, lowest scoundrelly brlbe taker that has ever been produced under a republican form of government.

1 SENSATIONAL dispatch has been sent out from Washington, predicting trouble between the United States and Europe The idea is that we have grown so large that We cannot longer avoid collision with some of the great powers of Europe. The same authority says that Bismarck is down oD us, and that the French de- spise us aud will seek the first opportu- nity to give us drubbing. We do not believe there is any foundation for these rumors. but If Germany or France want a little fun, they can get as much out of the United States as any other country that we know of, and the more they want the faster it will come. These Flu ropean powers have a habit of poking fun at what they styled our mobs Tn the late war. and express the belief that one of their army corps could cut its way through from Maine tO California. II they should ever attempt such q thing, they will do well if they reach a point two miles west of Penobscot Bay.  But these foreigners will not have any respect for us until We thrash them again.
 We should lose DO time in building a navy-not a few gunboats and unwieldly sc0ws, but the finest navy in the world. We need it and can afford it. England has for generations bOasted of ruling the waves" but 1t is high time her son Jonathan should assume his position and take possession of his birthnght. Henceforth the United States should rule the waves, and place herself in a position to talk very loud on all ques- tions that come up for discusslon in the New World. The baby has outgrovn its swaddling clothes, and must now put on the stern armor of manhood, and the sooner We begin to make the change the hotter

THE Plant City correspondent of the Tribune, a Democratic paper published Gt Tampa, Florida, thus ioyfully relates how the election was carried in that town: We, as city fathers. very promptly introduced Georgia laws and customs to govern the election, and they worked like a charm. We were also favored with Q Georgia attorney to consult. and everything savored so strongly of GeOr- gia that VIC are wont in future to write Plant City, Ca. We introduce the Geor- gia system of numbering the ballots of each yeter, and by this means We were able to expel from the ballot box before the counting Of the ballots the votes Of a few Independents, so far as to make doubly sure the election, and now every thing is supremely happy in and around our town" There are two or three par ties who had a hand in the Tanque Verde fraud, who might learn something from the Georgia custom.

JOHN ?. CLUN.

It is well known in Arizona that John P. Cum held the office of postmaster at Tombstone during the early days of that camp, and to the entire satisfaction of the people. But, having also occupied the position Of mayor of that town, 1t Was impossible, under the disorganIzed state ot affairs in Tombstone and Co., chise county. 10 maintain the friendship of both factions of the coDtending ele- ments; hence a fight was made against Mr. Cum which resulted in his defeat for resppomtment. It Is highly gra;ify- ing to that gentleman now to have his old friends at Tombstone, as we'll us a large majority of those who opposed him four years ago, to come forward and ask him 10 return to their town and again become their postmaster. Presi- dent Arthur sent the name of Mir. Cum to the Senate yesterday, and as there Is no doubt of the confirmation We may soon expect hlm back 10 hIs old stamp ing ground again.

tions or to initia r- 1enue bills, any more than to establish uniform bank ruptcy or naturalization, and this to- gether with all other powers which were specially confded to congress or the house of representatives by the constitu- ton, stand as a flaming sword against all overreaches of the executive and for ever limit and exclude its treaty mak- ing powers. An action of the house or even of congress in 1885 cannot i'm pair, abridge or take away authority of the next or any succeeding congress to repulate commerce nor of the house of representatives to originate revenue bills, nor can this legislative authority be addicted even by making executive the heir apparent. It IS an Tn sidious method by which the vastly important power of the house of repre- se1tatives over all revenue bill, may with an ambitious executive become obsolete and utterly valueless. We cannot afford to demolish an accepted theory oi republican government by sanctioning inattention revenue bills by the execu- tive. We cannot afford to change the constitution by mere new lnterpre- tation and without any change in the fundamental law" Taking up the sub- feet of the Mexican treaty, Morrill, said the Mexicans lived in climate requir- ing for the most part less clothing than sufliced for our blanketed Indians. A reciprocity treaty with people of that character could not be made for the
 United States, even by the hero of Ap- ronatox. In conclusion he insisted that
 reciprocity treaties were unrePubhear in origin and character and tending tC largely increase the power of the execu- tive and making congress a mere regis ter of the executive will.

Death Of a Noted Colorea Man.

Blanc F. Joubert, the wealthiest and most
influential colored citizen of New Orleans, died
last week, aged SO years. He was born in that
city, but resided in France most of the time up
to the passage of the reconstruction laws of
Congress, when he returned and took an active
part in politics. He was delegate in the
Chicago convention of 1868 that nominated
Grant and Colfax, and was several times Re-
publican eleetor. Under Grant he became Col
lector of Internal Revenue at New Orleans. He
was correct and careful officer, and had no
stain upon his public record. He held several
minor Offices under Gov. kellogg, and was
treasurer of the Republican State Central Com
mittee. He carefully managed the wealth he
inherited, and when he died was worth many
hundred thousand dollars in real estate. He
was very lightly colored, and before the war
shot man for calling him negro.
