4 Valuable Pump.
From the Phnnlx Heral,I1 1

Frem W. Wellington, the engineer of the Byron centrifugal pump, now being worked by Messrs. Lewis & Her lick, at Tempe, tba reporter learns that that inganious and simple piece of mechanism is doing wonders in the way of retaining land. As stated before in these columns, these gentle men are clearing 160 acres of desert land and putting Tn crop of grain. Their pump is stationed on the south bank of the Salt River about 300 yards below the railroad bridge at Tempe. The water is led n from the river in a wide ditch, aad the pump lifts it nineteen feet. Up te Saturday eve nlng they had been at work seven days, and had cleared and covered with water sixty acres, the water com Ing so fast that three men are em- ployed to ditch and irrlgate ahead of lI. Gfaln that had been put Tn and irrigated on Sunday, November 11th, was up above the ground and making a good showing on Saturday, the 17th. Ample water from the pump is now flowing one mile from ths river.
 When the present tract is cleared and planted, the pump will be moved some thirty miles up the river to the stock ranch of E. A. Jones, where there is some fine land, tss high above the river for ditching. Dr. W. ". Jones has also seen it working and is much pleased with it's power, efficiency and economy. In sevsn days run the en- zine only used one and three-fourths cords of wood,

Newspapers skouId be Encouraged.

Tho New Mexico papers, says the Prospector, are taking the right course Tn the matter ef securing some recog- hilton from the legislature next win ter, The Albuquerque Democratic speaks cut on the subject in the fel- lowing manner, which applies with equal force in Arizona.
 1t must be acknowledged that newspapers and railroads are the two great factors in the development of any Territory or State. One is abso- lutely no greater than the other.
 Railroads are voted subsidies with cut end to secure their building, and after they are built, arc backed up by act after act of legislature arbitrarily in their favor.
 ''On the other hand, the newspaper Is expected to work with its full fercs and at It's own expense, to advertise all the resources, real or imaginary, of the State UT Territory where 1t has embarked Tn business, and where the success of rapid development and set tlement, of growing wealth and ad- vancing enterprise, so much depend.
 'At least one State i.i sise Union has recoa anizsd the work of the newspa- pers in this direction and done some little in the way of recOmpense. That State is Minnesota, and in her sesslon laws she makes it necessary that every law passed by her legislature must be published in full in every regularly published newspaper within her bor- ders, and pays for such publications at a rate fairly remunerate for the work.
 And the assistance thus given to newspapers is not the only good result of such a law, for it places copies of the session laws within the household of every newspaper subscriber, while they are now, through force of neces- sity, totally ignorant of the acts passed by the men they vote for to represent them III many cases, while Tn still others they are but poorly informed.
 "The newspapers of the Territory should unite in placing this matter before the incoming legislature, and in urging the passage of such an act. Such law at the present tune would be just and right, and should meet the appreciation of both the people and the press"

 In his last annual report Hon. Nicholas Nj. Bell, Superintendent of Foreign Mails, calls attention to the collection service performed by the pos tai administrations of several Euro- pean countries. The first to introducs this service was in Belgium in 1S42, Germany followed in 1871, Switzer- land in 1876, France in 1879, and Aus tria in 1882. For the eollectlen of bills not liable to protest, the charge Tn Belgium ranges from 2e for "a bill of 20t to Sc for 1OOf, and 4c for every additional 1o0f or part thsaef. Bel gium has also a c. 0. Dezsrvice by mail, and undertakes to pay at any post office, free of charge, the coupons of the public debt when due, and as sunes the collection of coupons of all kinds payable in Belgium at charge of two-filths of cent per coupon, with an additional fee of the same amount for each 10f or fraction thereof. Bills of exchange are also presented by the pOstmasters for acceptance and pay ment, and are protested for non-ac- ceptancs or non-payment-the charge for acceptance is 4c for each bill and for collection SC for 9OOf or less, % for each 1O0f up to 1OOOf, and 1Oc for each 1O00f and each additional frac- ti9a.
 In France the rates are one-half Of 1 psr cent of the amount, in addition nominal fees for registration and for the benefit of those engaged in the collection.
 As to collection of bllsliable to pre- test, the Belgium law authorizes post masters in places where there is no sheriff or notary to prepare protests, but in Germany they can in no case prepare protest, which must be done by Government officer, and if there should not be such an official at the place the bill Is transmitted to the nearest pest office at which an officer can be found. This system can be carried out owing to the fact that protest is valid en the second working day following tue day when the bill is due. This system also obtains at pres ent in Switzerland. In France the delay allowed for protest is not so lenS, but by ernploy'pg a special mes senger the protest of unpaid values has been rendered possible in every part of France where there is any commerce to speak of This system of collection IS one which comments itself to the business interests of the United States, for it offers the benefit of personal request for payment, at a charge much less than would be in cured by individual effort.

An Eastern exchange says: It re- ally seems curious how George Ken nan came to have such freedom ts study the prisons and prison system of Russia, if they are what he insists, a part of a system of unmitigated tyran- ny. But he gives us good reasons why more Russians do not emigrate, by quoting for us Tn the Century the following laws from the Russian penal code: "Ssctlen 525. Whoever leaves the fatherland and enters the service of a foreign Government without per mission of hls oNa Government, or bs- comes a subject of foreign power, such person for violation of his ale glance and his cath, shall be deprived of all civil rights and expelled from the limits of the empire forever. Ifhe re- turns he shall be exiled to Siberia for life" Any person whs persuades a subject of the empire to emigrate to ansther country, shall be punished with penal servItude in a convict com pany for Rot less than twelve, nor more than eighteen mentbs; or be ban ished to Siberia for life" Such laws go far to explain Nlhilism, if they de not fully apologize for It A Govern ment based on property in the people IS a government reversed from the ori- ginal purpose of such organic com nactS

 The Wabash ran an extraordinarily fast train through here Wednesday. It was a special made up at Butler, and run to Detroit for the purpose of trying the speed power, of the engine, which IS new one. An indicator was attached before starting to register the greatest rate of speed made. Seventy miles an hour is the highest number of miles the instrument is capable of reglsterlng; after running that fast she was timed by the watch and mile posts. Between North Morenci and Sank Creek one mile was made in for ty-six seconds, another in forty-sight and another in forty-seven seconds.

New York importers are making heavy raids on the English aud French markets fer fancy fanneis for shirt ings. The flannel shirt winch was so popular during the past Summer has obtained such a firm hold upon the public favor that it will be introduced on much larger scale next season. The most outre effects iH stripes and cheeks will be the rule rather than the exception. Many of the linen-shirt manufacturers have suffered greatly from the popularity of flannel shirts, and, as a matter of self-protection, are preparing to manufacture both kinds in future.

Emperor Wriianl's Income.
(F-om the Epoch.)

F-Om the EpOch.j
 William II. has no fixed salary as Emperor of Germany, but thera is about a million dollars that he can use If necessary. As King Of Prussia, however. he has a civil list amounting to $3,500,0Q0; but the taste for travel and other expenses incurred in the interest of the Empire necesSltates, it appears, an increase of revenue. Sc when the Relchstag reazsembles a proposal will be made to add several million of marks to the imperial civil list. The Emperor's recent journey to Vienna and Rome cost about S20Q,0OO. Among the presents that hs dlstribu- ted along hls route were eighty dia- mond rings, thirty diamond and em- erald necklaces, fifty searf-pins, thirty geld watches and chains, SIX sabres studded with diamonds and emeralds and hundrsd boxes of cigars.

Last year our imports from Japan amounted to 2l.0O0.OOO Japanese del lars, Or about 16.0OO.O0O Amencan dollars. We bought S11,00O,000 worth of her raw silk and nearly $7000,00O worth Of her teas. The fair cheeks of our ladies were. cooled last year with S97,000 worth of Jananese fans, and our noses were wiped with SS16,00O werth of Japanese silk handkerchiefs. We buy nearly S300,000 worth of DOT ceIain every year, and our imports of bamboo ware amount to S102,0O of Japanese money. We buy more than twice as much of Japan as any other country, and eur imports are mcrsas- ing every year. In 1887 we bought a million and a half mere goods than in 1886, and the United States will probably continue to be Japan's best customer.

TO A CHILD.

Oh. NY chill. my pure and perfect man-child,
With the light OF Heaven in your eyes,
And your yellow hair like glory resting
Ger q face so angel-sweet and wise.
Oh. my child, hold your hand and tremble
When think OF all that you must meet
On the way. where there Is naught to guide you
Save my clouded eyes and stumbling feet.
All the nobleness that sleeps within you
Waits my touch TO waken into grace;
All. the man you will be haunts my future
With reproach, not love, upon his face!
Is the gardener not appalled, and daunted
When he sees but lfeless twigs, and knows
That within the bare, brown things there slum-
bers,
Waiting for his waking hand, the roses
So fear from fingers all unskllful,
Some rude touch your perfect growth may
mar:
II the pruning-knife slip but . little.
You must carry. all your life, scar.
Oh. my child, unknown, unconscious currents
Meet and mingle in yonr young, warm blood ;
So God help me when your soul shall blossom,
And-God help me should blight its bud.

The Precious stone Made Fashionable by
the Duke Of Connaught.
That the Duke of Connaught gave his
bride cat's-eye ring as an engage
ment token was enough to make the
stone fashionable and to increase its
value greatly. The demand soon ex-
tended to Ceylon, where the tru.
chrysoberyl cat's-eye is found and
stimulated the search for it there. In
the chrysoberyl cat's-eye the effect il

In the search for these chrysobcryl
cat 's-eycs there have been found IN
endless series Of chrysoberyls OF deep
golden. light yellow, yellow green,

brown and other tints. They are su.
perb gems, weighing from one to one
hundred carats, ranking next to the
sapphire in hardness. They gave a
great surprise to the gem dealers, for

however, fine gems, rarely under four
