Phoenix Wants the Earth.

EDITOR SENTINEL-The following Asso- ciated Press dispatch shows the Phoenicians
 to be modest(? in their demands, to say
 the least:
 Phoenix, Dec 2l-The question of the removal ef the Territorial capital to Phoe nix having been settled-to the satisfaction of the poiticans-the scramble for eXecu- tive offices has now set in in earnest Phoe- nix presents Col. N>1lliam Christy, the cashier of the Valley Bank, for Governor; 4. Leonard Meyer, present mayor Of this city, for Secretary of the Territory; Judge D. H. Wallace, former Receiver of the Land Office at Tucson, for Surveyor General; E. NJ. Mills, proprietor of the Lemon hotel, for United States Marshal, and w. s. Mills, prominent bank accountant, for Receivtr of the Land office, which iS deemed nod crate demand for a single town.
 Now let me tell them and the world what not only one, but many, Yumaites want. want Congress to pass an act at an early day annexing so much of Arizona to Cali fornia as will be included between line drawn from point where the line between California and Nevada strikes the Colorado river and Nogales on the Sonora line. and the boundaries of Sonora and California. This will include all of Yuma county and portions of Maricopa and Pima counties Such line would cross the Southern Pacific railroad about two to five miles east of Gila Bend station When this is done let Mari copa county take the remainder of the Ter ritory with all its officers and capital thrown in.
 It can be clearly shown that such schange would be greatly to the interest of this county, and this strip of Territory would nicely round out the State of Southern Cali fornia when formed. As d portion of the great ''5olden State, our products, which are identical with hers, would have an i'm mediate demand that as Arizona raised can only he created by expensive efforts on our part. Then as sanitarium we should have at once all the notoriety that she now enjoys The foregoing, though brief in outline, will awaken deep thought through out Arizona and California but, I fear, not in the same line.

Rev. DR.. Buckley in the july Century
contributes an article under the tide Of
Dreams, Nightmares and SOmnam5u-
lism," from which We quote tine follow
ing;
Somnambu'ism, in its sim lest form, is
seen when persons talk in their sleep.
They are plainly ASLEEP and dreaming
YET the connection, ordinarily broken, be
tween the physical organs and the i'm tg IS
passing through the mind is retained or
resumed in whole or in part. 1t is very
common for children to talk more or less
in their Sleep also many persons who
do not usually do so are liable 20 mutter
if they have over-eaten, or are feveiish or
otherwise i'll. Slight movements are
very frequent. Many who do not fancy
that they have ever exhibited the germs
of somnabulism groan, cry out whisper,
move the hand, or foot, or head, plainly
in connection wi h ideas passing through
the mind. From these inoIpient mani
festations of no Importance somnambu-
lism reaches frightful intensity and al
most lnconceivable complications.
Somnambulists in this country have re.
Gently pcrpetuated murders, have even
killed their own children they have car
ried furniture ont of houses, wound up
clocks, ignited conhdgrations. carpen-
ter not long since arose in the night, went
into his shop, and began to file saw; but
the noise of the operation awoke him.
The extraordinary feats of somnabulists
in ascending to the roofs of houses,
threading dangerous places, and doing
many other things which they could not
have done while awake have often been
described, aud in many cases made the
subject of close investigation. Formerly
it was believed by many that if they were
not awakened they would ia process Of
time return to their beds, and that there
would not be Nny danger of serious acct
dent happening to them. This has long
been proved false. Many have fallen out
OF windows and been killed; and though
some have skirted the brink of danger
safely, the Number of accidents to sleep
| ing persons is great.
Essays have been written by somnam-
bulists. A young lady, troubled and anx'
| ious about prize for which she was to com
\ pete, involving the writing of an essay,
arose from her bed in sleep and wrote a
/ paper on a subjeot upon which she had
not intended TO write when awake; and
/ this essay secured for her the prize. The
same person later in life, while asleep,
selected an obnoxious paper from among
several documents, put it in cup and
set fire to it. She was entirely unaware
of the transaction in the morning.
Intellectual work has sometimes been
done in ordinary dreams not attended by
somnambulism. The composition of the
'Kubla Khan" by Coleridge, while asleep
and of the Devils Sonata" by Tartini
are paralleled in a small way frequently
Public speakers often dream out dis
courses, aud there is clergyman now
residing in the western part of New York
State who, many years ago, dreamed that
he preached a powerful sermon upon q
certain topic, ana delivered that identical
discourse the following Sunday with
great effect. But such compositions are
not somnembulistic unless accompanied
by some outward action at the tine.
