citizen of Trinidad, Colo, ar
rived in Chicago the other day with a
carload of Colorado bunch cacti. The
cacti were spread out for inspection in
the yard of a Washington boulevard
florist. There were about $50 punches
left. The punches had the appearance
of little mounds, composed of from fifty
to 200 little greenish balls, studded
thiclly with small spines or prickles.
Those prickles are great protection
in shipping" said the Spectator. "At
every depot along the route some one
tries to steal a bunch, but they have to
be handled with pitchforks, and no one
was thus provided"

ssWhen / reached the depot everybody
wanted a bunch, and for three or four
DAYS after they were unloaded they
sold rapidly. When / arrived they were

them. A bunch when in blossom is
covered with about 800 flowers about
the size of a silver dollar, and Of dark
reddish hue. at distance they re-
semble prettily arranged bunch of red
velvet. They are rarity in Chicago.
They viii blossom here as readily as in
Colorado. and will endure the winter.
Water, given too freely, will kill them.
When not disturbed during the blossom
ing period they will remain in bloom
from April until August. The long dis
tance these were brought injured the
blossoms, and in three or four days they
fell of. -

inches in diameter All of these have
very fine blossoms. shall endeaYor to

Egypt letter.

The rise of the Nile is measured by q
nilometer situated in the island of Roda,
lust opposite to Old Cairo. The present
building, with its graduated pillar, has
been used for measuring the height of
the river ever since the ninth century,
an earlier nilometer on the same spot
having been washed away by food.
The increase is proclaimed every day
after the third of July by public criers-
one fo1 each district of the city-whose
announcement is wrapped upti~ a great
deal of poetical metaphor, and communi-
Gated in the ordinary sing-song recitative

spends to the clergyman. 1t is tire
some formula, consisting of many
versicles; but the following will serve as
specimen.
''Mahomet is the guide" sings the

 THE recent Democratic conven- ton at Tucson was characterised by peculiar harmony and singular unanimity and was wanting in the element of acrimony and dissen- tion too often found in political as semblages. But one motive seem ed to have actuated all the mem bers and that was the good of the party. Sectionalism was not en- tertained and personal considera- tions entirely ignored. The pro ceedings of the convention, the nominations made, and the plat form adopted seem to meet with the unqualified approval of the party.
 Marcus A. Smith, of Tombstone, the nominee for Delegate to Con gress is a lawyer of fine ability, well known in the territory. He is a native of Kentucky, about thirty four years of age. 3 graduate of the University of that state. After graduation he taught school and in 1872 re entered the halls of his Alma Mae: and bee lme a stu dent in the law department and was accorded the distinguished honor by tEe faculty of appointment as valedictorian of the senior class. He practiced his profession in Lexington and was elected prose- cutting attorney for that city. He came to California, after the expi- ration of his term of office and for one year practiced in San Francis co. In 1880 he came to Arizona and two years later was elected district attorney of Cochise county and in the discharge of his official duties made a reputation as q wig orous prosecutor. It was largely through his energy that the noted Bisbee murderers expiated their heinous crimes on the scaflold. MT. Smith IS forcible speaker, pleasant and popular gentleman and will add strength to the party in the canvass.
 ExMayor c. M. Strauss, of Tue son, was nominated by exclamation for Superintendent of Public In struction. He is a gentleman of education, devoted to the school interests and well qualified to per form the duties of the office for which he has been nominated. Mir. Strauss has been a faithful Democrat and done good work for his party.
 Capt. W. c. Watkins, of Gil", who represented that county in the last legislative assembly, and made a good record for honesty and ability, was nominated for Joint Councilman from the South ern counties and the voters of Graham will have an opportunity in voting for him to vote for man who will not betray hls trust.
 \. Cornwall, a substantial citizen of Mohave, was nominated for Joint Councilman for the North ern District and possesses the requisite qualifications for an eff clent legislator and has the conf dence of those who know him best.
 The ticket is a good one, adds strength to the party and the ju- dicious nominations are prophetic of success.

tion to safe places beyond our ter ritory and that Indian outrages and the presence of such fiends in our midst, so long permitted by republican misrule, have forever ceased and that a new era of pros perity is at hand.
 We demand the payment by the federal government of all damages which have been sustained by our citizens from Indian depredations and pledge our nominee for dele gate to congress to urge the pass age of such a measure.
 We commend the action of Sur veyor General Hise in defeating scheming land grabbers who would deprive the settler of his home by fraudulent grants or secured by illegal entries, vast tracts of public lands to the exclusion of industri- ous and worthy citizens.
 We pledge our nominee for dele gate to use hls influence and ut most endeavors to obtain from congress appropriations for the boring of artesian wells, and con struction of reservoirs in different parts of the territory for the pur- pose of irrigation; the erection of public buildings where required, and the curtailment of the San Carlos White Mountain Indian reservation.
 We oppose Chinese immigration and advocate the passage of laws which will secure the peaceable removal of those now here.
 We favor the passage of a gen eral law which will allow counties to fund their indebtedness and re lieve our citizens from burden some taxation.
 We approve the act of congress which vetoes future special legis- lation and extravaganza by terri torial legislatures and which will prevent the recurrence of the in famies heretofore practieed under republican misrule.
 The enormous indebtedness of the territory is the result of repub- lican fraud and mismanagement and we seek reform through the enactment of wise and useful laws, rigid economy and scrupulous care in the disbursement of the public revenue, the reduction of taxation and the development of the latent resources of Arizona. To this end we invite the co-ope- ration of all good citizens Tn se- curing the triumph of democratic men and measures on the second day of November next.

TERRITORIAL DEMOCRATIC
 PLATFORM.
Adopted September 2. 1886

The democracy of Arizona, through its representatives in con vention assembled reaffirm the na- tional platform upon which the party triumphed Tn 1884 and ap- prove the administration of Presi- dent Cleveland in its economical management of public affairs, and its efforts to reform the public service.
 Taxation should be limited to the raising of revenue for the ex- penses of the government econom- ically administered.
 We demand the free coinage of silver and the issuance of silver certificates based upon silver bullion.
 We endorse tie action of the democrats in the 18th and 18th. con gresses in retaining from rail road corporations 100,000,000 acres of land and their efforts to prevent the ownership of land from being vested in aliens and foreign corpo- rations.
 The American principle is: no taxation without representation. The eight territories with popu- lation of 100000 of American freemen and S5OO,OOO,OOO of tax able property are deprived of the inherent right of representation in the national councils. We there fore demand for Arizona and her sister territories Q representative in congress and a vote in the elec- torial college.
 We favor home rule for the ter ritories.
 The action of the 18th legisla- tive assembly of Arizona, con trolled in all its parts by republi- cans, in approprlating S52, 900 from the territorial treasury in direct violation of law and in adding to our bonded and floating debt more than S300,000 we denounce as a fraud upon the tax payers and a foul blot upon the legislative rec ord of the territory. Governor Zulick by directing attention to these abuses in order to prevent their recurrence, deserves we'll of the people and he will have the hearty support of the democracy of Arizona in his endeavors to in- fuse honesty and economy into all departments of the territorial gov ernment, and in removing from positions of trust and profit un- worthy public servants.
 We congratulate the people of Arizona that Geronimo, Natchez and their band of cutthroats have b zen captured: that a democratic

That he will dis charge the duties of the office with fearless impartiallty and fidelity We doubt not, for since coming to the Territory more than a decade ago he has been noted for his feal- ty to Democratic principals and recognized as a leader. The Star says: "The convention acted very wisely in appointing the Hon. P. J. Bolan, of Graham county, as chairman and Charles Driscoll. of Cochise, as secretary of the Terri torial Committee.
