Night Thoughts.
By MISS ALICE NJ. WILDLY

ny MISS ALICE NJ. wILDEY.
How sweet at the hour of midnight,
When the lights are dim and low,
To gaze from out ones window
on the quiet world below.
The moon with beautious radiance
Floods the world with silvery light,
Uplifting the soul with reverence
And filling the heart with delight.
The starry worlds above me.
In the far-off dome of the sky,
Proclaim God most mighty
Watching with tend'rest eye.
Directs he the worlds In orbits,
Like birds on the wing so free,
And thus | know most truly
lie ever plans for me.

Salt as a Fertilizer.

J. W. Cassidy. one of the oldest
 and most successful fruit growers
 about Petaluma, several years
 since wanting to kill some un-
 profitable fruit trees without cutting them down, dug a little trench around the roots of each tree and poured into it about four gallons of brine as strong as salt would make it. To his utter as- tonishment, after a time, instead of killing the trees, they became invigorated, took on new life and produced an enormous crop of fruit and heavy growth of new wood. Prior to this application of salt brine the trees mentioned were non-productive and for this reason he wanted to destroy them, but the trees being healthy he had not the heart to dig them out in the usual way. He has ex> perimented with salt brine in the manner above stated for the last three years with the same gotd results. This year, however, in- stead of using brine he has sowed the salt broadcast among his trees, knowing that the moist atmos- phere will soon convert it into brine. He has sown from one- half to three.quarters of ton to the acre. MT. Cassidy, from his last three years experience. an- ticipates the best of results from his experiment.

Remedy for Grasshoppers.

We don't know of any portion of Arizona suffering at present from the grasshopper plague. If it should ever reach us the fol- lowing remedy contributed by Gen. John McComb, Warden of the State Prison at Folsom, Cali fornia, may be brought into re- quisition. He has made trial of a recommendation of a Nebraska farmer to "take hay, straw or rubbish and dump it in forkfuls about rod apart over the fields on the windward side. Next sprinkle from one>fourth to half 8 pound of sulphur on each pile, and in the evening set the sub- stance on fire. About sundown, the air being sufficiently heavy 10 keep the smoke down close to the ground, the wind will roll it over the field. The smoke will scent everything to such an extent that grasshoppers will never come there again during the season that the sulphur is sapplied." Gen. McComb says: "The sulphur smoke certainly does drive of the grasshoppers, and I will at once prepare toprotect the whole of my farm and vineyard. Idid as the Nebraska farmer directed, placed forkfuls of straw about rod apart on the wind ward side of the field, put on each pile about third of pound Uf sulphur, and just be- fore nightfall set fire to the pile. The smoke was carried over the field. and the grasshoppers at once disappeared"

More of the Great Canal.
The Effects Upon the Country.

For more than two years past
 this work has progressed quietly
 unostentatiOusly and steadily
 without interruptions, with Gen. Churchill at the head of the exc cutive department, overseeing, examining and directing the entire operation in all it's branch es, each department presided over by men whom he selected for the places, foremost among whom was MT. w. J. Murphy, one of the most practical, untiring and able of men in his line of business, hence we have said that to these two men more and then to all others is due the success of the undertaking. The present
 BOARD OF DIRECTORS, ETC.
 Are: F. A. Tritle, Governor of the Territory; Gen. c. Churchill, Col. F. c. Hatch, Gen. M. H. Sherman aud Mir. H. H. Logan. The officers are as follows:
 President. c. Churchill; Secre- tary, H. H. Logan; Treasurer, Valley Bank, of Bhenix; Chief Engineer, Chas. A. Mariner.
 Gen. Churchill, having taken possession of the entire work in behalf of the company, will now proceed to organize the water symstem of the company, a labor that he has already commenced.
 Water will be sold to the occu pants of land between the canal and the river, and water rights also. The rates this year, Gen. Churchill has informed us, and until the commencement of the regular letting for next year, will be one dollar per inch.
 The system will be an improve meut upon those now in vogue in the valley and in use by the old companies. The company will sell to land holders a perpetual right to take water within limited annual rates for specific lands, such rights be annexed to pass and with the lands but not seyerable from them, these water rights will be inaccessible unlike the shares in the old companies, which Ire now assessed. By this sys- ,em, holders of water rights will always know before hand pres ,isely what their water will cost them. ,r....l .... .

Silence! A while ago
 Shrieks went up pierciugly; But now is the ship gone down;
 Good ship. well-manned, was she. There's raft that's a chance of life fol
 one
 This day upon the sea. A chance for one or two:
 Young, strong are he and he, Just in their manhood's prime,
 The comelier yerily For the wrestle with wind and weather
 and wave,
 In the life upon the sea. One of them has wife
 And little children three, Two that can toddle and lisp, And sucking on the knee -,s Naked they'll go and hunger sore If he be lost at sea. One has a dream of home, A dream that we'll may be; He never has breathed it yet, She never has known it, she, But some one will be sick at heart If he be lost at sea. "Wife, and kids, and homem Wife, kids, nor home has he!- "Give us chance, Bill" So, 'All rigbt, Jem!" Quietly A man gives up his life for man This day upon the sea.

Business Misunderstanding.

It is not too much 10 say that very many of the misunderstood. ings which arise between mer- chants, and large proportion of the suits at law which vex the business community, arise from a lack of definiteness in giving or receiving orders. A mere order for job of work, ora bill of goods, or an advertisement may be all right in some cases, hut there often arises some difficulty that causes bad feeling between the parties, which could have been avoided by proceeding in a busi> ness,like way When a man builds house he makes carefully, written specifications as to what he wants, and if there IS anything wrong in the work he has some> thing by which to correct it. If the parties to transactions would take pains to have a definite bar gain made, the details thoroughly understood and a memorandum of them set down in writing. much trouble delay and expense would be avoided. Nasty bar gains, as a contemporary says, may do for politicians, but for legitimate business transactions they are sadly out of place.

 Los Angeles counties in California,
 which are sold at $100 and ups
 wards per acre.
 The building and maintenance
 of this canal insures great pros>
 perity to the whole of the Salt
 River valley and especially that
 part of it lying north of the river.
 When fully settled up it's popula-
 tion will be so numerous, pros~
 porous and strong that they will
 be enabled to construct branch
 railroads out of it to connect with
 competing trunk lines and defend
 our interests against high freights
 and also develop the great min>
 eral resources of the surrounding mountains thereby creating a
 home market for their varied and
 superior products.
 The inducements to the settler seeking home in mild. h ealthy
 part of the west now offered by
 this valley are not surpassed in
 any part of the country. Here he can acquire the most fertile lands
 with never failing water supply at low prlces ranging from S8 per acre up 10 $2O per acre, according
 to location and improvements. These lands will produce in great abundance nearly every grain and fruit which will grow in the mid dle and southern states, or Cali~ fornia. The fields are green and flowers bloom every month in the year. We are within twenty eight miles of the South ern Pacific railroad and within twelve months a railroad will traverse the valley itself. Reduc- tion. works and other manufac- turies will be established here. Small lines of narrOw-gauge rail- road at Phoenix will radiaie out into the Cave Creek District; Qaijotoa, Weaver, Vulture, Me Milan, Tonto Basin, BrodShaW, and elsewhere and carry our fruits, grains and otEer products 10 those mining sections and | bring in return their crude ores to be reduced here with water furnished by the new canal. Paper factories to convert the raw now going to waste by the thousands of tons upon our hills and deserts, will be erected and by the same cheap power turned into a merchantabIe article )f export, giving employment to many hands and holding the bal ance of trade in our favor keeping ,ur money at home and bringing more in. There is probably no place in the Union where exten- ,ive tanneries could be estab> ished and operated to better ad> vantage than in this valley, and his may also be said of many other classes of industry aside rom the cultivation of the soil. But in this latter field there now ,ffers the best opportunities to be ound in the world. ..,.

The farmer is busy threshing;
 Iheard the muff1ed blows, And also the fellow yelling
 Who got failed on the toes. 1 heard the partridge drumming
 Among the beeches dense, And I saw the chipmunk running
 Among the old rail fence. And out in the russett stubble
 The quail doth sweetly pipe, And upon the breakfast table
 The old slapjack is ripe.

Finaucla1 Fallacies Exposed,

The last statement or report O.
 the Director of the Mint is one ol
 the strongest arguments which
 go to prove the falsity and absur-
 dity of the efforts which have
 been made for the purpose of rem
 dering our silver currency unpop-
 ular, that could have been pro-
 duced. The claim has been
 consistently presented that the
 continued coinage of silver would
 result ill the eXportatiOn of our
 gold coin, and an influx of silver
 from every nation of the world
 expressed in statement that the
 "United States would become the
 dumping ground for the silver of
 the whole commercial world."
 A moments reasoning would show that silver has not yet be- come so worthless that it is parted
 with or given up without some
 kind of an equivalent of an equal value. Consistency, however, has not been one of the chief virtues of those who have endeavored to render this currency useless. The latest report of the Director of the Mint shows that instead of our gold being drawn from the treas> ury, that during the past year only S1,115,O00 in gold was ex> ported, and during the same per- iod, instead of sbip-loads of silver from other countries being dumped" upon our shores, the past year witnessed the exporta- tion of S15, 400, ,OOO in silver, which cannot be taken as a very good proof of the claim which has been made. If the results predicted are to occur it is time the evi- dence of the fact was presented.
 Another point has been urged as one of importance, that our sill yer currency was idle and useless, not entering into circulation, but was piled up Tn the Government vaults. A recent statement of the shows that more than oue-fourth of our gold coinage is al present locked up in the vaults of the national banks, another One-fourth is held in the vault of the treasury, and that probably not over S15O,OOO,OOO in gold are in actual circulation. While of the $2OO,O0O, ,0O0 silver, the banks hold only one-fifteenth, and it is therefore reasonable to suppose that the remainder is continually | being used in daily transactions of business, even in the form of certificates. Silver certificates in which are practically | SO many silver dollars in circula> ton, largely out number gold cer- tiicates. This circulation has been secured under every possible opposition and unfavorable con- lition, so that it may be safely ;aid that no more unfortunate ime could have been chosen in which to test the real value of his metal as currency, but it has or thousands of years past. not vithstanding the strong and de- ermined opposition it has been to encounter, proven its value and im> ,ortance, and established the fact hat it is necessity as coinage netal, and it cannot be dispensed with as a prominent factor of the yOrI6>S pirpulatinp mPdium

The murderers have not yet been
captured. The heavy snow last night
makes IL impossible to follow their
trail with dogs, as was being done yes
tefday evening, and it is nov feared
that they will make good their escape.
1t Is now believed by most people here
that they were train robbers and had
boarded the train for that purpose.
They are reported as being well dress

They boarded the train between the
