skill in devious expedients can find

IAN Indiana railroad company once
employed Gen. Foster to draw up a
contract for them. He drew it on one
sheet of fpaper and charged $3.50. The
company paid and growled. He told
them to try certain high priced law
yer the next time. They did so. The
other lawyer sent around and borrow
ed the copy of the old contract from
George, turned in neatly engrossed
sheet, and charged $4,000. But the
company felt satisfied that they had a
contract that would hold water.
'In the old days of allowances out
of estates by the surrogate a lot of law
yers who had been retained in a will
case, but had nothing to do because of
the agreement of the frightened liti-
gants, met in the surrogate's Office to
have their allowances settled. The
surrogate permitted the lawyers to
settle it among themselves. The gen.
tlemen of the bar agreed to parcel out
a very large slice of the estate, each
one being most liberal to his learned
brother. While this was going on the
stenographer of the court, who was
great wag, handed up bill to the
court for 81, 200.
Why, you have not written word
in this case,' said the surrogate.
81 know it., was the bland reply.
"'Then how do you claim this ST.

"'I've as much right to it as the law

In the Rollwagon will case Henry L.
Clinton got an allowance of $4,000;
MIR. Arnoux, $4,000; Malcomb Camp
bell, $4,000; George and j. G. Dang
bein, $3.50 each. In the Vanderbilt
will case Judge Jeremiah Black had
one check from Mrs. La Bau for S15,-

and Scott Lord had some large fees.
Mr.. Joseph II. Choate came in for
big fee on the other side.
The big fees of receivers and their
lawyers have attracted much recent
legislation, and the enormous sums
paid in this direction will not hereafter
be repeated. There are several cases
on record where receivers have receiv-
ed fortunes for merely nominal work.

Raising Draft Animals.

With the present low prices for all
kinds of grain and the comparatively
high rates of transportation farmers
are naturally considering how they
can d-vote their time and capital to
the best advantage. The outlook for
grain raising in the future is certainly
poor. The great commercial cities IN
other countries receives wheat and
other grain from almost every portion
of the world, in most of which labor
and the cost of living are much cheap
er than they are here. The construc-
ton of the Suez canal, the building of
railroads in various parts of South
America and India, and the rapid
settlement of South Africa and Aus
tralia by Europeans have all tended
to bring down the price of cereals.
The agencies that have stimulated
grain production in other countries
are still at work. India, in the opin,
ion of many, will soon become the
greatest wheat producing country in
the world. The production of all the
small grain is increasing in every part
Of the Russian empire. Even Siberia
gives promise of exporting large guam
.ities of both wheat and barley. 1t |
seems certain also that the vast terri
ory of Western Canada will be devot-

Kansas at New Orleans.

The NetD Orleans Picdyatne contains
the following notice of the goddess Of
grain as she presents herself in the
Kansas department of the great
worlds exposition, now in full blast in
that city:
ART IN STRAW.
Genius is royal in its ability to gild
and glorify commonplace creatures
and to mould into forms of beauty the
most simple and homely materal.
Some very curious and interesting
examples of art work, executed in the
rudest material, are to be seen in sew
eral of the state exhibits. Straw, corn,
Spanish moss, raw cotton and the like
are used with wonderful skill and
wrought into the most pleasing and
beautiful objects, and in the most un-
expected manner. By way of illustra-
tion several examples will be noted.
In the Kansas exhibit the statue of
Ceres, the Goddess of grain, is seen
standing on lofty pedestal crowned
with cbaplet of wheat ears and bear
ing in her hands sickle and sheaf
of grain. The statue stands II feet
high on pedestal 80 feet in height.
The pose is easy and graceful, the dra-
perry classic in form and falling in nat
ural lines and curves, displaying the
limbs and figure in the approved Gre
clan mode.
AT distance this statuesque figure
would not be taken for bundle of
straw, which it is; but when it is ap-
preached and its. real nature disclosed,
its artistic excellence appears all the
more strikingly. 1t looses none of its
beauty of form. and gains in beauty
of detail. The figure is clad
first in vest or close-fit-
ting shirt of mail, covered en-
tirely with grains of golden wheat,
which shine with II metallic lustre. |
Over this is the loose chlamys or man
tie, like an overdress, made of oat
straw and trimmed with fringe of oat-
heads. Below this. at the ankle, is a
skirt of wheat straw, with ruflle or
flounce of the spiked heads of the
grain. Over the left shoulder, inclin-
ing to the right, is scarf of white
wheat straw with a purple border made
of the heads of the broom corn or
sorghum cane. The form is properly
developed, and the effect of the color
ing and the combination of material is
extremely fine.
The figure stands on a pyramidal
pedestal relieved with cornices and
projections, the whole covered with
white and yellow and purple grain and
straw laid off in panels and wrought
nto the forms of mosaic and patterns
If parquetry. Great shaggy heads of {
,uflalo as the centres of largo medal
ions stud the sides of the pedestal,
which is surrounded at the base by an {
of sacks of snowy flour. {
This work which attracts universal at q
ention, was the work of Prof. A.

The Fontaine locomotive, which won
peculiar celebrity some time ago on the
line of the Canada Southern, has final
ly disappeared. The central idea was
the introduction of two friction wheels
above two driving wheels. BY the
contact of the upper wheel with the
lower, q greater number of revolutions
per minute, and hence a greater speed,
could be obtained. A company was
formed with 81 100000 nominal capi-
tai stock at S25 per share. Two en-
gines were built at an expense OF $685.

The Man who GrowIs at the Table

Woe betide the woman married to a man who systematically growls at the tablet Life brings her neither peace nor happiness; three times a day her husband grovls and snsrls like any other wild animal over his food. l knew a man of thls kind once, and how l pitied his wife and daughtersi One of the latter married in haste one day joined her fortunes with those of com paratively poor man, not exactlyI in the same set as she was accustomed to live in, simply to have her meals in peace. It is said she made her future husband swear that he would never make fuss over his dinner, and l understand that to-day they are the hsppeist couple liv- ing. Reconciliation took place before they were marrIed. but they left before the nuptisl breakfast We all remarked that-and though of course she visited the house, nothing could ever induce her to take meal there. She is wo- man of spirit. As for the mans Niie- poor woman!

chiefly by the encroachment of miners upon the reservation. We do not know the source of Mir. Holman's information in this regard, but it is unquslifiedl, false. For a long tune previous to the recent outbreak all white people were carefully excluded from the San Carlo s reservation under severe penalties. No one was allowed to enter at all upon those sacred grounds. aud therefore Mir. Holman has been misiuformed concern ing the cause of the outbreak. If he had attributed it solely to the innate savsgery of the Apsches he would have come very close to the mark, snd he conld have traced back contingent causes to the t-me when the averaging arm was stayed as it was about to de- scend upon them in their captured stronghold, and in the name of human ity they were given new opportunities to murder and pillsge at will. Like many others in the enjoyment of some com parative authority. Mir. Holman is pleas cd 10 shift tho burden of responsibility upon the broad shoulders of the obscure and impersonal miner.

COMMISSIONER FRANK M. MURPHY has arranged with Mir. Chas. k. Wores, the ssssyer and mineralogist, fer the latter to receive samples of ore from Pima county mines. for exhibition si the New Orleans Exposition. Mr. Wores will properly label and classify them, and when the proper time arrives, will ship them 10 New Orleans. The mine owners themselves should show enough enterprise to obtain good samples and cause them 10 be delivered to Mir, Wores. for it Is asking almost too much oi him to gIve bis valuable time to addi- ti"nal lg6ors for the public good. There Is no use trying to deny the fact th al AIizoDa Is deriving vast benefits from the recent exposition at New Orleans, or that it will be benefited in e sti Il greater degree by the n-w exposition sr- ranged for the coming winter. The ex- pense has been comparatively small, and it is one that every person who possesses sny interest in the growth and prosperity of Arizjna should cheerfulIy help to bear. The Territory cannot prosper without the individual resident receiving pro- portionste benefit, and a single invest ment of one hundred thousand dollars in our territory is worth more to the people thsn twice all general and incl dental expense of such an exhibit. The northern part of our territory is now feeling the benefit of its exhibit last win ter, and it is stated that their new rail road is direct result of influences de- rived at the New Orleans exposition. Pima county cannot afford to sit with folded hands and see it's neighbors grow ing rich and respectable with less re- sources. We can well afford 10 send a magnificent exhibit of our wonderful minerals in charge of paid agent. The direct returns therefor would astonish even the Hassay yBmpers.

THE conference between Secretary Manning and the President of Adams Express company has resulted in a modification of the order to transfer publi, funds by mail from New Orleans md other points to Washington. It seems that an old contract of the govern ment with the express comprny for the transportation of public funds, is still in force, and if the Secretary of the Treasury had refused to modify his order, the express company could recover damages from the government for breach of contract As the arrange ment now stands. the government will run no risk in transporting bulky lots of coin, and great temptation to train wreckers will be removed.

Passing Away.

The saying that change IS everywhere
 observable IS true one. It covers Arzons. A lIttle more than 20 years ago, this territory sRs a sad and silent wilderness, sparsely peopled by Indians, some of whom titled the soil, as they do now, but the majority lived by war and the chase. They were a silent peo- ple-not much given to political talk, church festivals, bonding mines, farms, ranges or building railroads on pap CT. They built no fine houses and apparently had little use for the fine temples left them by the Jesuit fathers. The semIcivilized tribes had permanent homes; the wild ones were never known to erect more than a five dollar structure for their families. They were polyga- mists, but stopped at this. Industry made tbem tired and the only time they let themselves loose was when egged on by bad and hungry spirits. These peo- pls are passing away in spite of GerOni- mo. Most of their country IS at pres ent held and ussd for good purposes by people of the white race and to tell Gods truth, the Apache Is very much cribbed, csbined and confined in hIs own land. His signal smoke DO longer ascends; his cheap wickiups ID the csions make bed for rats; iraIls orce travelled by him grow dImmer and dim mer. and We are not sorry. for in hIs and their places, white men and woman are al work. building cities and towns. cul- hvsting farms. caring for stock, bring iAg water to the surface and otherwise preparing tbemselves to live through another session of the leglslsturr.

Silent and Superb Contempt.

 he began to rise ID the army his envious
 rivals circulated the report that he waa
 coarse. illiterate, and drunkard. Pres.
 ldent Lincoln gave quietus to the charge eOtdrunkenness. But the notable
 part of the business IS that Grant, with out replying to single islander or inven-
 tlon. managed ID the course of his career to completely vindIcate himself. He never shid, "I am not q drunkard," but lived so as tO show all the world that he
 wRs sober man. He neves denied that Rawllus end others wrote g'l hIs letters and dispatches, but let the public grad ually dI-cOver the facts. Nbel it was said that his sIlence wa dullness and incapabilIty, he never claimed that he could make a speech, but when the time came spoke often and successfully in public. People who credited him with no literary ability found out during the last year of the Generals life that he resembled Cesar III the ability to handle the pen as we'll as the sword. The won der is not that these fal-ehOods were well exposed, but that the silent and superb contempt with which Grant treat ed them should have trIumphRntly re futed them all.

LINES of rail transportation are very sensitive indices o. the business condi- tions Of the country through which they pass, and they are the first to note the depreciation and appreciation in the volume of imports and exports. matters that pretty generally gauge the prosper. ity of any settlement, particularly in Arizona. It was only 6 short tina SEQ that local traffic over the Southern Pacific was practically dead, and so was the business of our city. Now, We are informed by Superintendent Muir, there Is lively movement in freights that seems permanent and valuable to the country. Not only does this apply to local impOrtstions, but the exports are greate. and more valuable. Rich ores and quantities of bullion enter large ly into tho shipments from Tucson and larger quantities of both are beng sent away than the public generally is aware of.

THE result of the international yacht race of Sandy Hook is watched with marked interest Upon both sides of the stormy Atlantic, and even the German Spanish excitement is lulled tempo rarily till wind and canvas settles the controversy. If fortune fgvors the fleet winged Puritan, it will be accepted as conclusive evidence that England Is in her dotage, and if the bow-sprit of Genests reaches in ahead upon the home stretch, some plausible excuse will be advanced for the national disaster The merits of the two countries can be about as accurately measured by the spread of canvas in a stiff breeze and the skilliul navigation of a frail craft upon the sea, as the arbitration of the battles conflict establishes principles of right and justice. But, just like our prol ected railroads in ArIZopa, the white wings at SsDIy Hook are only waiting for the wind.
