Harrison Breaks the Record.

As General Harrison Practically clos ed his campaign tonight so far, st least, as regards his further speech making or public reception of delegations, brlef summary of his public lsbors since the opening of the campaign will prove Of interest.
 HA careful research develops the fact that no other Presidential candidate of either party, so far as CAD be ascertain ed ever equaled General Hsrrison's camp lign iu the number of his speeches or the number of his visiting delegations from outside points. From the register of the locs' bureau of the Associated Press, it is ascertained that General Harrison msde seventy-nine speeches to visiting delegations, including his spec ,hes at Toledo, Put-in-Bsy and Clayton. Th;s does not how ever include the short talks st railway stations, nor ths many brief and i'm D omptu talks Co small companies ID the psrlors of bis residence, If addresses of thls character were included ss speeches, the aggregate would be about ll2. Ills speeches will make a good sized book. He received 1l0 delegations from points outside of Merton County Some times tbree or fodr oeleRstiops would be addressed at the same meeting. The total number of people comprislug these visiting delegations and inoluc ;ng the large gatherings he received and ad- dressed while on his trip Co Middle Bass and Clayton is conservstiyely estimated at 100000, of which numt CT, il is cslcul- ated, he shook hands with not legs than 50 900 to 100000. These figures do not include the 40,000 visitors present on the day MT. Blaine spoke here, nor are the home crowds taking into enumeration except where they were addressed. Neither does this summary include the number of individuals or small parties, that called daily st the residence and were received by both the General and bis wife. as goodly proportion of these callers were members of some visiting delegation. It might be added that sll of General HasrisoD,s seveDty-nine speeches, except two were delivered e1temporaneoulsy without the aid of 6 single note, and neither of two prepared speeches were oompleted.-Inter Ocean. nct 07

The Arid Land Survey.
(Enrinesring and Mining JournaD

kEnsl9eerlEg and nlnluS JouIuaAl
 Probably the most important sctIon of Congress in the session just adjourned was the appropriation of Sl0O.OOO for the survey of the arid land region of the United States. with 6 view to systematic irrigation by the construction of storage reservoirs. This amount voted is only 8 beginning, and Is a tritie to what complete survey with the above named object will require; but II establishes the principle that the government recog niKes the question to be one of national importance, and worthy of sn expsndi- ture from the public purse. In this de- cision We are only following m the .oot- steps of the government of India, which has long established Q State Depart ment of Irrigation Engineering, and has not only planned the works ths. should be carried out, but has executed most of them Rt its own expense. The results have been most beneficial, both directly and indirectly, and in the crse now un- der consideration at home, 1t may not, and probably will not be necessary for the government to do more than make the surveys and supply sn intelligent and comprehensive basis for the eco nomical execution of the works by pri- vste enterprise. If only one fourth of the snticipstions of Msjor Powell are realized, the result will prove to be one of the most enormous strides in the ma tsrial development of this country, and will constitute the most complete spolo- gy for what seems, at first sight, new departure in way of government inter ference ID industrial enterprise, and we have no reason for supposIng tbst Major Powell has overcalcrlsted to this extent About three years ago the government of the colony of Victoria, Australia, sent a commissioner to this country to inves- tigste and report upon the systems in use here and their result. and the report that be made to his government was so complete and instructive that the De partment of Agriculture at Washington has reprinted copious extracts from it iu its last publication on the subject. The fruit of that investigation was thai the governments of Victoria and South Aus trRlia have inflated two large irrigation schemes, Rn interesting account of which We give in another column.

Astor,s "secret Pain. !"

John Jacob Astor was compelled at one time to repair to Paris, where he could avail himself for a physical infirmity sf the assistance of the renowned surgeon Baron Dupuytren. The latter thoroughly restored him and advised him to ride out every day. He frequently accompanied his patient during these rides. One day while they were out together Astor ap- peared quite indispOsed tO talk. Not a word could be got out of him, and at length Dupuytren declared that AstOr must be suffering from some secret pain or trouble. He pressed him and worried him until finally the millionaire loOSed his tongue:
 Hook ye, baron, how frightful this is have here in the hands of my banker at Paris about 2,0OO, 900 francs and cannot manage without great effort to get more than 2 i2 per cent. per Hnnum on it. Now this morning received a letter from my son in New York informing me that there the best acceptances are at l-2 to per cent. a month. Is is not enough to enrage a manF'-Detroit Free Press.

How To De Graceft.l.

A school girl misses great deal of valu- able education who hurries away to school, morning and afternoon, without having used her muscles in helping her mother. She misses something else which, in a few years, she will know how to va.le better than she does now-grace of movement and carriage.
 What makes a girl graceful? IL is us- ing all her bodily powers. A student who is nothing but a student soon begins to stOOp, and the habit, once begun, grows inveterate and incurable. Half our school girls cannot walk with ease and grace. We see this very plainly on commence ment days, when the members of the graduating class are obliged to walk a few steps before the audience. Their dresses are often too costly and splendid; their hair Is beautifully arranged; their pieces are creditably written; one thing only they lack: they cannot walk
 A girl who would have graceful car riage, sound digestion, a clear com plexiOn and fine teeth, must work for them every day, and no work is better for the purpose than the ordinary work of a house done with diligence and carefulness. Youths Companion.

THE GRAND RALLY.

At tae Mex-cAn Republican Club Last
 Evening.
 The grand meeting under the auspices of the Mexican Republican Club last evening, at the headquarters of the Re publicsns was the largest, the mos. en- thusiastic of it's kiid ever held h the city. Long before ' o'clock, the sp- pointed hour, the hall commenced to fill with the vsry best c,sss of Mexican and American cit,zens with their ladies, and at 7:30 there were probably two hundred people who were unable to get in the building.
 The first speaker has MT. Pedro Lo- peg who delivered a siirring address in Spanish and calling on bis Mexican friends to stand firmly by the republic an ticket. Next ctme Santiago Ainse, Esq, who IS 8 mCss finished and elo- queat speaker. snd gave numberless reasons why his hesi ers should support the republican ticket. MT. AInsa was followed by Col. James A. Zsbriskie who speaks spanish ss fuently as Eng fish, and never tR:ls 10 awaken great amount of enthusiasm. His speech lest night was ter lpte several times by prolonged eering, Eld be received rounds of applause when be finished. Col. Rsrry Jeffo- WIS the last speaker of the ever ;ng and while he could not rddress them in Spanish. he stated some solid facts in good terse English, in his usual eloquent style. Mir. Jeffords made a splendid impression and they will not forget that he is 6 candidate for distrlct attorney.
 The Mexican string band were in at- tendance. and throughout the evening discoursed patriotic and other airs sd- ding very much to the programme. The Junior Republican Giee club made their first appear ance lcst evening and sang several campaign songs in very audit able manner. This is truly republican year snd no mistake.

A BLIND MAN ON MEMORY.
The sightless Pupil Possesses One Vita
 AdxantaCc Over m. Comnanfo,s

The Sightless Pupil Possesses One Vita
 Advantage Over His Companions
 From some open letters of peculiar in. terest to the blind by one of their numbei we quote the following: "As partial com. pensation, in the midst of his many dis couragements, the sightless pupil possesses one vital advantage over his companions. His memory, accustomed to seize and as- simulate definitions and miscellaneous fn- formation at a single hearing, acquires both a marvellous alertness and a phenom- enal retentive capacity which enable him to master certain branches of study with singular ease and rapidity. Deprived of books and without any very ready and reliable method of making notes, he ob- tains a habit, often enyied by the seeing, of appropriating instantaneously anything addressed 10 his intellect through his hearing. Hence the proverbially good memory of the blind person His mind is his memorandum book, always at hand and always open.
 ''To the present writer, who never re- members having a lesson in anything read over to him more than twice, nothing is more strange and more amusing than a room full of school children, with fingers crammed in their ears, buzzing over a lesson of three pages for the fifteenth time. Equally incomprehsnsible is 1t to see a man making e note of a single ad dress, or lady referring to a shopping list. Such observations force one to the conclusion that the art of writing, in- valuable as 1t is, has been disastrous to the human memory. People have grown so to rely on piece of white paper covered with black scratches, that if this be lost or misplaced, they are reduced almost to the condition of creatures without in- tellect.
 50 marked is the advantage of the blind in this respect as almost to atone for their extra difficulties in others; that is, the sightless pupil will acquire scien tific and philosophical studies with a rapidity which will cOunterbalance the greater amount of time demanded by his less facile methods of writing out exercises in linguistic and ciphering fin mathe- matical branches; so that in taking the regular course at academy or university, he will require, all in all, neither more time nor more labor than the average student.
 ''Of not less value in after life is this extraordinarily trained and developed memory. IL enables the blind to derive from lectures, conversation and general reading ten times the benefit of others, on whose minds a single mention of facts and thoughts make little or no impression.
 Thus the law of compensation is seen working in all things, making good on one hand, approximately at least, what is wanting on the other; not by the special mysterious interference of Providence or other power with natural conditions and processes, for the benefit of the individual, as many claim, but through the ineyita- ble sequence of cause and effect, by which senses and faculties become, through un- usual training, abnOrmslly developed and their value radically enhanced. ."-The Century

 Sir:-For your information and the information of the candidate, who is csnyassing this county for the same of- tice that I am running for. and who has been sent by Msricopa county to lead the PinG,ites out of the wilderness, but strange to say. failed to shake the Salt River dust from his feet, The people of Pinsl county are no chumps and have sat down on Msrlcops's little game by putting men in the field who will see that Msricopa gets none of her (Plnafs! railroads. No doubt 22 miles of railroad and the junction of the Msricops & Phe- nix railroad is quite sn item, a little matter in fact of al put 1000 taxes. Hence its attack upon J O.

Mir, J, O, Loss IS absent from the ter ritory end has been so for three months, He was offered the secretsryship for the Reayis Land Co.,, of New York, by q personal letter from Col, Bob Ingersoll but refused to accept snd has no con nections with the said land company whatever If he was the agent of said company it would be 6 matter of record with the secretary of the territory. You have Mir. Editor to thicken your syrup It's too thin, you are after me, O. Loss if you please, not the land thief as you imagine, but plain unsophisticsted C. Loss, who has the hsrdyhood to put su' gar in your tea on the railroad business and will camp on your trail and bring you to the realization that it IS dange' rous kind of 8 weapon that cuts 10th ways. Twill get there all the same, mol by the vote of the Herfid but by tho honest voters of Pinsl county. who have known me for the last fourteen years that have resided among them.

When LewIs Morrison brought out bis pet hobby "Fsdst" & while ago, ths &C., curaoy and mechanical effects csused 6 good deal of talk. They were, in fact, the sensation of the play. A young man named Brady wes responsible for the work. and he then snd there made @ re- putation az a soenIc arrsnger.
