 A Stabbinc Affair.

A stabbing aflray occurred last even ing about seven o'clock, on lower Gran ite street, the victim being Robert G.. Banta, and the knife wielder being Phil. Mcdonnell, of Williamson val ley. The particulars, as learned from MT. Banta are, that he has been engag- cd teaching school in Williamson val ley, and boarded at Mrs. Ellis, where Mcdowell also worked. The two had never had a quarrel in their lives, but on the contrary had been on the most friendly terms. Mr Banta came to Prescott some time since, and Me Donnell and Mrs. Ellis came in to eel ebratc the Fourth in Prescott, bring ing Banta's valise with them. The their return to the valley at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, but Me Donnell failing to get ready until six, Mrs. Ellis refused to accompany him, on account of the latcness, of the hour: It is stated that he used abusive lan- guage to her at the time, but left and returned i'll his wagon just as MT. Ban ta also appeared for his valise. He commenced again to use improper Ian guage to the ladies, when Banta re mOnstrated with him, which seemed to anger him, and drawing large pocket knife he jumped from the wa gon and committed the assault, cut ting Banta in six different places Che wound is four inches in lengtl across the left temple and ear, two cuts on the left arm, one on the lief side, one across the abdomen, and on, on his left hand The wounds wer, dressed by Dr. Vickers, and whil
 painful are not considered serious Banta succeeded ill securing club which he used pretty freely in his de lense, inflicting very serious injurie on McDonnell's head. Nc Donnell wa

An Anarchist plot against the life of the Emperor of Germany is reported. While the Socialists declare the re- port to be the invention of the police, there is an extraordinary increase in precautions for the safety of the Elm peror. Bismarck has had the guards reinforced around the palace at Post dam, and the building is practically isolated. The Emperor's escort is strengthened during his visit to Der lin. Several persons have been ar rested for throwing petitions into the Emperor's carriage. The alarm lies in information received by the police from agents in Zurich and London simultaneously. Among the Socialists recently expelled from Zurich, taking refuge in London, the plot to assassi- nate the Emperor was being perfected. Conspirators armed with bombs have gone to Hamburg on their way to Der lin. For some time past menacing letters have reached Prince Bismarck and the Emperor, warning them that the beginning of reign of repression of the people would be signalized by an act of retaliation. Arrests of suspects have been made at Hamburg, Leipsic, Berlin and elsewhere. The police are watching the Chancellor's residence in Wilhelmstrasse and their precautions are quadrupled. It is said the Emperor authorizes some striking act of severity against the Socialists. Every Socialist leader resents the re ports as mere pretext for reactionary mea. ures.

Our Territorial Fair.

The fall fair to be held in this city portance as to prove of incalculable benefit to the territory at large, and this valley in particular, or on the contrary it will work great detriment to the future prosperity of the coun try. Harmony and unity of action will accomplish the first and lack of these will bring about the latter of the re- suits mentioned. If the people will labor earnestly, take an interest in getting up an exhibit of the products of the territory and make it a point to impress on the minds of strangers the many wonderful advantages of this country over the cold and sterile hills of the worn out east, the objects for which the fair was intended will have been accomplished.
 Above all other times this is the most essential, and nothing but sue cess will attend the efforts of united people, when the object which they arc striving to accomplish is one of SC much importance as is the one in ques l ton.
 People will be here from all over the country and they will form their idea; of this valley by what they see on ex hibition. If they see all the people working in harmony for the genera good of their community they vii very naturally conclude that it is no country of cut-thrOats and rustlers which together with a magnificent dis play of the products of the soil vii carry such weight as to bring hundred of settlers in our midst to assist in tn country's development.-Gazette.

Great Confidence of Irrigation.

The question of irrigating land is no longer an open one in all the states and territories west of the Missouri, but oftimes 1t is a question of how much water, or of a just determining and regulation of the flow but beyond this, California has been restricted by the general law that no man had a right to divert the waters of g river from its natural channel or into new sources. But the legislature of that state passed an act regulating the use of water for irrigation, and the act has just been decided constitutional and i'll force, and those ill positions and localities where irrigation is possible, are very much encouraged as to the future prospects. Of the subject of irrigation the Chronicle remarks that year by year the people will learn more of the proper use of water, how and when to apply it, and especially, when to leave off soaking the ground. There has been sort of theory in in some places that the ground should be irrigated until it should hold no AllAIt NdlCi cub tlulC llatS DIOtlStlb N lS- dom ill this respect, and orchards and vineyards are not frozen or drowned out, as they have sometimes been here tofore. As the facilities for irrigators learn better how to use them to advantage, the fruit acreage and the grain acreage will increase, and it is hardly saying too much to assert that in time the crop of each, barring accident, may be figured out in advance, with almost as much cer- tainty as the capitalist figures interest on his investments. At present there is great confidence m irrigation as the remedy for the worst of the farmer ills.-Prairie Farmer.

A correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch has the following to say about the centipede and the prairie runner: "Those who have made study of the centipede say he never turns his mind to anything but mis- chief. He will crawl into a bed in the middle of the day and wait patiently until the night when the rightful own CT crawls in, so he, the intruder, can improve his opportunity to get even with the human race, against whom he has spite. But man has a friend Ill the prairie runner, which Is u c name of bird whose mission in life Is to supervise the centipede census This bird has a fondness for centipedes au natural. If 1t were not for these birds ce2tipedes would be as plentiful as men who think they understand all about the tariff question. When a prarie runner discovers a centipede he takes the insect in h!s bill and runs off with him. What the object of the bird is in running I cannot imagine, unless he, the bird, wants the centi- pede 10 admire the grace and swiftness of his motions. After giving the cen tipede ride the prairie runner pauses and passes the insect, with side way chewing-gum sort of motion, through his bill, very much as a linen collar is passed through a patent clothes wringer Then the centipede is pale and cold in death, and the prairie runner, which must be provided with a di- gestion lined with sheet iron, swallows the insect endways.

Cur Coal Fields.

Within ten or fifteen miles of St. John can be found large deposits of coal of a fine quality, It has been used here and found to be an excellent quail ity of bituminous coal, in every res pect.
 If any of the many railroad schemes for line across the eastern part of Arizona, from north to south, prove successful it would be well for the pro- jectors to prospect this coal belt aud run the road so as to utilize it. Good coke can be made from this coal. Wood is in abundance, and a market for coke can be found in all the mining camps south of here. There are for cunes for those who will develop these toal fields.-Apache Review.

Drying Fruits.

A great deal of money is lost every year by dried fruit becoming wormy, the most of this loss falling upon those dealers who have the fruit on hand when the worms hatch out, the makers of the fruit and often the first and second hands through which it passes having got rid of it before the period arrives. Anything which will guaran- tee dried fruits against worms will en- sure better price to the maker and the dealer. The worms proceed from eggs deposited on the fruit when out in the sun drying, and upon evaporated fruit after 1t comes from the dryer and before it is packed. Drier cured fruit as soon as 1t $ taken from the drier, and while hot, should be carried into dark room and left there on the trays to cool. The work of sorting and pack ing should be done in room perfectly protected with wire screens and doors, with outside vestib'ales to the doors. The eggs on sun dried fruit can be killed when the fruit is taken up dried, by dipping the fruit in scalding hot water. After scalding the fruit should be spread on draining-boards in dark room, which should be ventilated, by all apertures protected bywire screens. The same protected by wire screen in the packing room Is needed as for evaporated fruits. The use of steam upon light colored fruits for killing eggs is to be avoided, as it turns the fruit dark colored. Any dried fruit maker or dealer who can vouch for his goods by guaranteeing them against worms can secure an extra price for such goods. Dried fruit packed in burlap or loose mesh cotton is liable to have eggs deposited on it between meshes, but firm woven cotton sacks will keep them out.-Calilornia Fruit | Grower.

| to the present settlers within this Ter ritory, who are spending their money, employing their energy in the reclama- ton of this land, and their influence in inducing new corners to locate.
 In the American Cyclopedia, Vol. H., ! D. 4S7, is an article on the mesquite tree. It is there said:
 The mesquite seldom grows more than thirty or forty feet high, and when well developed, has rounded head but owing to the injuries caused by insects and the parasitic mistletoe, the trunk and branches are frequently irregular and distorted. In its foliage 1t greatly resembles the honey To- eust. .... The tree has a wide range, being found as for north as the Cana dian River and extending far south into Mexico; 1t makes it's appearance a short distance from the coast in western Texas, and is the most abund- ant tree as far westward as the Colo rado and the gulf of California, 1t is exceedingly variable, sometimes appear ing as a large shrub forming dense thickets, which from the abundance ol spines are impossible, and at other times growing singly with well devel- oped heads, and when viewed from a distance appearing like an apple orch ard, so uniform are the trees in size. Were it not for the mesquite, large tracts in Arizona and Northern Mex ico would present still greater diff culties to the traveller than they do, as this tree there affords the sole supply of fuel and forage. The wood is very hard, fine grained, dark-reddish brown in the heart-wood, and is sometimes used by the Mexicans for furniture but it is q. 2. ..rliL. to get pieces large
