Appropriations were made, by con gress, for clerks for the surveyor-general's offices, for the current year, as follows: Louisiana, $I3,5oo; New Mexico, s. 800; Colorado, $6,5oo; Dakota, S9,ooo; Montana, S9ooo; Minnesota, $S,ooo; Arizona, S3,ooo. The appropriation for Arizona was much smaller than usual.
 As consequence, Mir. Hise IS only able to employ two clerks and can devote very little time to land grant matters. When these grants were being worked up, great deal of money was spen, for clerk hire. It does almost look as if ir- terested parties in Washington had par posely made the appropriation smal so as to throw obstacles in the way of de. feating the confirmation of these grants.

The BIg New York Scandal.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The World says: The evidence now in the hands of the senate committee shows that the Broadway railway ring has notifications and connections of the most startling nature. The Aldermen seem to be the least important personages implicated. New York is now upon the threshold of another tremendous Tweed earthquake one that will shake the city to its centre. Nothing can swerve the senate com mittee from the course it has chosen to take, and with Roscoe Conkling as the new Tilden, the complete punishment of a crime as broad and black as the Tweed conspiracy is at hand.

Wm. H. Barnes, judge ot the flst judicial district, is not the kind of a man that would by any act of his, place a muzzle upon the public press. His lorg experience as journalist has admiral ly fitted him for the arduous and respon- sible position he now occupies upon the bench of Arizona. Judge Barnes is thoroughly familiar with the thanklrss and laborious position occupied by the fraternity. He is also cognizant of the fact that an editor is public benefactor, and assists more in his humble way to build up and maintain county than any other individual in thesland.

with her and made up my mind if pos
siblc to win her. So one Sunday
morning, proceeded to their place oi
residence with the full determ ination
To- make my feelings known. When
entered the door, upon my arrival, ]
found the old lady was occupying the
only chair, and the only other seat in
the house, excepting some cedar blocks
set on end, was a cedar slab about four
feet long, with sti ks stuck into auger-
holes for legs, and said legs set well
back from the ends of the slab. On
this was spread piece of an old bed
quilt. Seated on this were the two
young ladies. l was immediately in
vited to take a seat beside them, they
moving so as to give me room on the
extreme end. The younger was seated
next to me. | found the position a
very agreeable one and the ladies both
lovely and sociable, and in fifteen min
utes had made up my mind that life
without her was not to be thought Of
The dinner hour was approaching, and
the old lady gave the eldest girl in
structionS tu peel some "tatcrS," which
order She proceeded to obey by getting
some potatoes in II small wooden
trough, seating herself upon the end
of an OK yoke which lay in the corner
of the cabin, and after being thus en-
plOyed some time, this conversation
ensucd between mother and daughter
Daughter" Nam, amt there taters
enough peeled now-ah. There's twen-
ty-six-ah?'
Mother" No, my dattcr, YOU know
we're got company to-day, and it will
take hi-you"
Daughter" Well, then make lie
help me-ah."
Mother" He, you must give up
your cufias Wdr-Wdf now, and help
Sc get some muck-o-mrck.'
Miss He Immediately arose from
her seat to obey her mother, and as
she went up l went down. The slab
first stood on end, dumped the old
quilt over my head as l lay sprawling
upon the floor, then turned over and
came at me like Il mad Spanish. bull
and got across my breast. reached
out my right hand and it came in con.
tact with one pair of its legs, then |
threw out my left and it came afoul of
the other pair. j turned over on my
side and the slab turned too, and one
of the legs hit me i'll the eye. By this
time | had became fully aroused tc
the situation and was somewhat an.
gered, and as soon as / could get my
feet and hands under me, arose tC
an upright position but in doing sc
the slab was turned over on to one OF
the little children and it began tC
howl like mountain wolf.
You may ask, did the young lady
apologize for the part she had taker
i'll the tranaction? Not bit of it
but, instead, the whole tribe set up s
big laugh. Why you could have
heard them half mile, and what
there was to laugh at could not see
and it has always been mystery tC
me. | know this much, left the
house at once, and never called agair
upon the same errand, for my feelings
were hurt. But the incident taugh
me this lesson: always look under ;
seat and see where the legs of same
are located; and likewise to take IL,
chances on Il fun-loving girl.

IT seems that the recent Legislature
among other bright things accom-
plished by it, has unwittingly repealed
the Territorial law against gambling
The law passed relating to barbed and
other wire fences and repeating certain
sections of the code, commences by
defining what lawful wire fence shall
be and winds up by repeating sections
l,253, 1,2G4 and l ,2G5 of the Washing
ton Territory code. OF course the
Legislature meant to repeal section /,
2G3 instead of section 1853 which i.
the act prohibiting gambling and the
courts would undoubtedly hold sucl
to have been the clear intention, bu
it reads most certainly section ], ,253.
