Oranges and Alfalfa.

The Redlsnds Citrograph published in Southern California has an inter- view with Mr. J. 5. Glover, of Red lands, in which the following valuable information on the cultivation of oran- ges and alfalfa appears. We quote:
 "I have about twenty acres of peach- es and apricots and one acre of orange trees. All are twelve years old, also four acres of alfalfa and one acre of blackberries. Weirrigate the peaches, apricots and orange trees about six times during the year. The twenty acres require two days time each irri- gation; cultivating and blowing, about a month each year, and pruning about three weeks. Third year, peaches and apricots yield, with a fair price, SEQ per acre, and continue to increase for several years From the four acres of alfalfa 1 received the first year about twenty-five tons of hay; the second year, including the first, 1 sold $500 worth and fed six head of stock be- sides. If 1 were to commence anew, I would make a speciality of oranges and alfalfa. Alfalfa would give an income from the first year, until the orange trees came into bearing. If man plants orange trees alone he must ex- pect to work at his trade, if he has one. or at other labor until the trees be- gin to bear. have lived in this state thirty-three years. 1 like it here bet ter than any part of California.

mon Jail," from the fact of it's having been the best prison in that portion of the state at the time of the Mormon wars. Among the Mormons once confined there were Joseph Smith, the dead prophet and leader; Hyram Smith, Sidney Rig don, Lyman Wight, Caleb Baldwin and Alexander McRae. They were brought there after being captured ct Far West in 1888 and remained for six months
 It was constructed in 1883, and was the first jail ever built in Clay county. It was strongly built two story struc- ture, with two walls, one of heavy tim bers and an outer one of largo stones. The first floor is on the order of dun geon. The door E of oak, studded with heavy wrought nails. Two windows on the north side admitted light and air. The west wall of stone has almost en- tirely fallen down, and the roof that once shaded the moldy earth below has collapsed.

THE ARID REGIONS.
The Eastern Peoples Desire to Obtain
 Arid Lands.

The money appropriated by con gress for the purpose of a Photographic survey in the arid regions is attracting great attention at present throughout the Union. People are anxious 10 as certain what can I.e accomplished, and how can these arid lands be reclaimed and cultivated with profit. The Amer lcan people are so rapid in their methods, and so impatient at anything and everything that does not promise quick returns, that they have quite overlooked the fact that irrigation is as old as man or nearly so. Although irri- gallon has accompanied the tilling Of the ground from time immemorial, and probably, indeed, gave birth to agriculture, and herewith cultivation itself, and while vast regions of our own continent were in pre-Columbian times made fertile thereby, still it has been comparatively unknown to the 4 4s.e-ies>4- huoUitIIcIIis.4I u,IIsn very lately. Now, however, its advantages are beginning to be perceived even beyond the confines of the arid dis tricts.
 Within the past few years irrigation has made enormous advances in all quarters of the great arid regions of the west, and 1t is estimated that there are now over 14 ,000 miles of main ca nals, with over 100000 miles of lateral or supply ditches, representing an out lay of many millions of dollars, and bringing thousands of square mile un- der cultivation.
 Great enterprises have been carried out ,and others are in execution, or hal e been conceived, in Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Idaho, Utah, California, New Mexico and Arizona, and the transformation in the aspect of exten- sive tracts in these states and terl : tories has been magical. There is o better field for capitalists to-day, in suring large and certain profits, than in the carrying out of irrigating works in those parts of the United States.
 Since the arrival of the government surveying party in Denver, new feel ing has been awakened all along the line, and lands situated in what is termed the arid regions, are being eagerly sought even as far north and east as Boston. We are of the opinion that the appropriation of congress for the investigation of this great subject will do more towards developing the country than anything that has oc cured for years, and we feel that II the hurry aud rush to obtain suitable lands the Salt River valley will no be neglected-Phenix Gazette.

Both forgeries were the most audacious and deliberate of the decade, and it is singular that both should have been discovered within the space of ten days.
 Everybody has his or her way of living, and, if they would tell, the whole race might be benefited by it. But whatever the theories may be, whether ore reader believes in meat diet and another does not, it would Do interesting to know how each succeeded. The writer has often heard the remark: ''I wonder how man on S10 manages to liver Yes, it may be a wonder, but hundreds of men do it, and the writer knows, within the range of his own experience at least, half dozen men who do it, and do it seemingly very nicely. Their wives wear inexpensive but neat and attractive looking clothes, the chil- dren who go to school look as clean and as well dressed as the children of some other men who earn more, and the pre- sumption is that each of these families get enough to eat At all events they certainly look as if they did.
 Now, with little study, tho writer does not hesitate 10 say many families could save money.

 Every reader of the Arabian Nights" knows how firmly fixed in the Arab or Moorish mind was the belief in Ghouls.- depraved human beings who feed upon corpses-and many people of more intel igence still believe that those who have eaten human flesh, in shipwreck or other extremity, will never again be satisfied with any other, such is the well known fact in regard to the tiger. From the Moors the belief in ghouls spread among the lower class of Spaniards in Andalusia, Murcia. etc., and it is still held by some of the lower class Mexicans. Curiously enough, this thing of killing and eating infants was one of the accusations brought against the early Christians by their heather accusers and it has since often been repeated against heretical sects.
 The lower orders of Chinese implicitly believe that children are eaten in some countries by the white people, and the old Guinea negro notion of the disposal of black children taken by the whites is weh known. What is this mysterious law of mind that makes the dark races of man kind suspect that tho white races want to eat them? And whence came the idea of a ghoul? Ia it a 'nnrvviIlian survival" of the time when caEnibalism was common? Certain it is that the dark races of man kind all have the tradition

Indicted For Cutting Timber.

A letter from Flagstaff, to the sen for editor conveys the intelligence that the directors of the Arizona Mineral Belt Railroad Company were indicted by the U. $.

forges in the Housatonic valley. MT. Barnuln was sent to the state legislature, and in 1866 was elected to congress and reelected through successive terms till 1876, when he was elected to the. United States senate, to fill the term of Orris $. Ferry, deceased, ending March 4, 1879. His ability as political manager led to his being placed on tho national Demo- cratic committee in 1872 and 1876. Iii the latter year Mir. Abram S. Hewitt was chairman of the committee, and Col Pelton, Governor Tiiden's nephew, was acting manager. Upon Mir. Hewitt's resignation on the re- ceipt of the decision of the cleo toral commission, Mr. Barnum was elected to fill the lnexpired term of MT. Hewitt. In 1880 he was unanimously reelected chairman, and four years later he was chosen again. He devoted him. self so increasingly to his duties as to impair his health, and was obliged to take some rest. He was next placed in charge of the campaign just ended. He had determined to retire in 1884, but being large iron manufacturer, and as the campaign turned upon tariff issues, he feared that his withdrawal would be | attributed to want of agreement with the Democratic party. He therefore ac- cepted the burden. The duties of his position were a great strain upon his health, especially as he was compelled to irregular habits. He kept in harness, however, remaining at his rooms in the 1 Fifth Avenue hotel until few days be- l fore the election. On Nov. he went to 1 Lime Rock to vote.

RalIOt Reform.

Speaking of reform in our election methods, the Century, for December, says: "The most important legislative achievement of the year has been the enactment of a complete ballot law in Massachusetts. This measure while modelled primarily upon the bill which the New York legislature passed, but which Governor Hill vetoed, differs from it in many respects. It contains an especially valuable provision for preventing the forgery of official bal lots, and is, taken all in all, probably the most intelligent and comprehen- sive application of the English and Australian systems so American needs which has been made. It places the entire printing and distributing the ballots in the hands of the state, to be paid for at the public expense. It provides also, for Independent nomi- nations by specified number of vot- CTS, and requires the printing of the residence, street and number. of each candidate after his name upon the ballot. It is likely to become the model for bills which are presented in other states, as indeed 1t ought to be; for, aside from it's great merits, it would be most desirable to have our different state laws upon thIs subject as nearly homogeneous as possible. -

About thirty years ago panic was created amoag the lower classes of Valparaiso by the disappear ance of a child. and in forty eight hours the story was told from alley to alley. and firmly believed by the populace, that Frenchman, who had "den" in one of the obscure corners, had killed and eaten 200 chil- dren. Every one was on the lookout for him, and by an evil chance, as it proved for him, peculiarly cadaverous and re- pulsive looking Frenchman, who had been confined to his quarters for long time. was first seen on his way to leave the city. The mob raised the cry and in the fight between them and the police the unfortunate man was almost killed. A grim humor was added to the situation hv the well established fact that not a

 Corea Is In Asia, occupying peninsula resembling Florida in shape and extend ing toward Japan. There are 16,000 GOO of people on 90,G00 square miles. From the credence given to the reported eating of boiled or roasted children by the Japanese, 1t is to be inferred that the Coreans are not in remarkably high state of civilization, and their ideas of justice arc especially crude. One of the first legal proceedings barbarous people learn is the method of Judge Lynch, and the Coreans in the recent troubles not only reversed the assumption that a man Is supposed to be innocent until proved guilty, but put the accused to death by mob power on accusation. The first proc lamation informed the people that chil- dren were being stolen, but if they put the accused stealers to death their voices would be stilled and there would be no way of finding out anything further; the second called the attention of the people to the truth that rumors did not make facts; and the third. coming from the king, offered reward for any man found spreading false report or bringing a false accusation.

 After the western Roman empire fell, the eastern or Byzantine empire continued to exist for about l ,000 years in state of almost continuous decay, and Constan- tinoplc was finally taken by the Turks in 1493. They soon subjugated Greece and ruled 1t tyrannically for 360 years; then the Greeks rose in rebellion, under Marco Bozzaris, Ypsilanti, Mavrocordato and other leaders. Their uprising was at first suppressed, with awful mdssacres; but Western Europe took an interest in the classic land and many PLilhellenes CLovcrs of Greece) volunteered to as sist, among whom was Lord Byron. Fin ally the combined fleets of England, France and Russia annihilated the Turkish fleet at Navorino, Oct. 20, 1927, and Greece be- came free.
 After an interregnunn the great powers selected Prince Leopold of Belgium for king of Greece, but he renounced his claim few months later. In 1632 the powers selected Otho of Bavaria, who be- came king at the age of r, and had a troubled reign of thirty years. h October, 1862, he abdicated in the face of a revolu- ton, and the national council provided for the election of king by universal suffrage. Prince Alfred of England was | chosen by an immense majority, but Eng land declined to consent. On March 80, 1863, the national assembly chose Prince George of Denmark.
