Egyptian Temples.

Neither the boldest imagination nor
 the most exact study can enable us to
 form an adequate conception of the
 splendor of an Egyptian temple in its
 perfect state. The vast space it occu- pied; its lofty gateways; the long ave nues of sphinxes; the glittering obe
 lisks and the lifelike expression of the monstrous statues form combination If most imposing architectural grand
 -ur. The aesthetic qualities of these structures cannot be briefly summed up. As we ponder them, we shall be willing to acknowledge, for we sha discover, the exceptional constructive power of the ancient architects; we shall see how closely they followed Nature, and at times drew as we'll upon foreign art, though always pre- serving their own principles of form. We shall also observe how fancy and feeling" are displayed in their tem- pie decorations. Besides, there is al- ways one grand imaginative veln run ming through all their work-which expresses the principal idea of the faith-imperishability L. Wilson in Scribner's Magazi1ae for October.

There is more and better govern mrnt land available in Arizona than IS left open for settlement in any other part of the west, while improved farms, with water rights, can be se- cured here at one-tenth of the price asked in California. Arizona is a new country, and therefore there is likely to be greater increase of values in real estate thar in older communities. Our agricultural resources are backed ap by rich mineral deposits and une- qualed grazing lands. The immigrant from the east should inquire into these facts before casting his lot in coun- try where the opportunities may be as few as in his former home. Fagstaf' Champion.

Bretzner has been offered fifteen cents per pound for his whole crop, but will hold for two or three cents more. The trees are yet young and hardly in bearing, but they will average % pounds of figs to the tree, which will equal $3.75 tree, or S250 per acre. But in a few years the trees will average 100 pounds to the tree and the profits will be very much increased. Mir. Bretzner has about forty acres in figs and raisin grapes.--Fresao Eapositor.

Picking and Packing Figs.

There has just been placed on our
 table splendid sample of this years figs, dried and cured at the orchard of
 Emil Bretzner, near town. The figs are of Adriatic variety, grown on his
 place; are large, sweet, semi transpar- ent, and the skin is silky and thin.
 Mir. Bretzner is making special study of the fig, and is turning his large fig crop to advantage. The fig trees are planted on rich but elevated ground. and have done remarkably well. At three years of age they are now loaded with fruit, some of which ripens every day, and some of which, judging from the quantity of young fruit, will con- tinue to ripen for two months or more. The figs are all carefully picked, or rather broken from the tree, care be- ing taken that the skin is not rotten: the largest and finest are selected from the lot to be dried, the smaller ones being used for pickling and marma- Jade. The large figs are placed on trays similar to those used to dry rais- ms on, and immediately passed into sulphur box and exposed to sulphurous fumes for l5 minutes. From the sul phur box they are spread in the sun to be dried. The drying IS accom- plished in about five days The figs are neither turned nor covered in the night time, the sulphuring making these operations unnecessary. When sufficiently dry the figs are packed The packing Is done on the Smyrna method. After being dipped in salt water they arc pulled and fattened so as to conform to the shape and size of the imported article. When undergo ing this treatment the figs change both

A gentleman living at Orlando,
 Florida, writes a long letter to his
 friends in Dakota, through the medium
 of the Press, from which we extract
 the following in reference to that ex-
 quisite fruit, the pineapple:
 Although the pineapple has "all
 seasons for his own" in this region,
 yet these midsummer days develop the
 greatest yield and the most luscious
 fruit. Those earller settlers who
 started pineapple shed" few years
 ago are now in luck; and their profits
 induce others to do likewise The
 finest fruits are placed on sale labeled
 like this: "Trinidad from Bidwelrs,
 price Sl.5 if sold with crown, or $l
 for the apple alone;;" or another, 'Gol-
 den Queen from H. B. Church, 75
 cents, or Sl5 50 if sold with the crown and buds" The surest way to secure choice varieties for planting is to get the green crowns and side buds from the most valuable fruits placed on sale; and each dealer keeps his boxes of earth in which he places every bud he can secure. They invariably root and grow, according to name. have over one hundred choice plants grow ing in boxes, soon to be planted out in permanent "shed," They include eleven of the choicest and most desir- able kinds. bought one apple for B cents which had a mass of eighteen buds at the top, all of which are now growing as thrifty little plants, besides affording three pounds of delicious dessert.
 A "shed" is cheap framework of | posts and level scantling, across which is laid strips of board three inches wide with three inch spaces. This over half the sunlight and gives the plants a partial shade. Then in winter, in case of danger from freezing, extra covering, such as Span ish moss, can be added.
 The plant is almost an air plant, and is not destroyed by pulling it up and etting the roots dry. Its curved, striped leaves are armed on the edges with fine, sharp prickles, which enter he skin and break off easily. When about to bud for blooming, the centre 'f most kinds turns bright red. Then he fruit develops and stands on a tout, straight stem, two to three feet Ibove the earth. In four or five months from blooming the apple turns f rom green to golden.
 While the fruit is forming strong, lew shoot buds out at one side. This s to replace the dying old stem, and P ,e the rapid producer of the next ap- 'le, within year or less. Thus each z 'lant produces an apple, new stalk nd crown bud that is good for ew plant, besides from one to a dozen twenty strong side slips or suckers, ach one good for a new plant and !. ruit in eighteen months; and like the anana, guava and orange. and many ther southern luxuries, they are un- r urt by insects. There is absolutely r 0 pest for the pineapple, and they n ear shipment and delay better than Il elons or berries. The crop is gath " ed during several months, instead of " polling for immediate marketing ali once. S' An acre planted thus, about three U Id one-half feet apart, will contain " 500 plants. Some will not beai 0 adily, but when they are of valua r. e varieties and we'll cared for, the s- - 'ofits from fruit and slips are heavy.

Again before Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Dalegate On
ford introduced bill amendatory Of the

the great Sioux reservation in Dakota

satisfactory agreement as TO the pro-
posed division. The bill introduced
amends the law as follows: Thsrreser-
vation is to be opened without the con-
sent of the Indians, while the law passed
last session required such consent. The
sum of 2,0O0, 900 is to be deposited to
the credit of the Indians, instead of the
81 900, 900 provided for last session.. The
lands thrown open to settlement are TO
oa paid for at the following rates: On
lands entered for settlement during the
first two years after the opening of the
reservation, 81 per acre: all lands taken
during the next two years, Is cents per
acre and so cents per acre for the resi-
due undisposed of at that time. q,

committing himself, says enough to
warrant the positive assertion that he
will not adhere to his former demand

CAUSE OF THE RIOT.

Two Brutal Murders Charged to Engineer
Hawss Sought to Be Avenged.
BIRMINGHAM, Dec. 19.-Last Tuesday
the body of little girl was found in
East lake, near this city. The fact was
established that she had been murdered,
and Wednesday the body was identified
as that of May aawes, the daughter OF

cumstances pointed to the girls father
as her murderer. He was married in
Columbus, Miss, Wednesday evening
though supposed to have wife here.
On his arrival here with his bride
that night he was arrested, chrrged
with murder. Then it was learned
that he had never been divorced
from his first wife and that she
had been missing since last Satur-
day as well as a younger child. Search
for the woman's body commenced at
once. and soon additional circumstantial
evidence against Hawes was secured.
Saturday evening the body of his wife
was found at the bottom of the lake
weighted down with iron. This caused
intense excitement throughout the city,
and that night fifty or more officers were
placed around the jail armed with Win
chester rifles, anticipating possible at
tempt to lynch Hawes. About IL o'clock
Saturday night about 1000 or 5000 men
gathered in the vicinity of the jail maxi
ing threats. They were without organi-
cation or leaders. and after much parley-
ing with the mayor and others who tried
to get them to go away the
crowds finally reached the end of q
narrow alleyway leading to the Jail
doors. Then the officers warned them
to stand back or they would be, fired on.
After repeated warnings they would not
stand back. and Sheriff Smith ordered
the officers to fire. One volley was fired
and twenty-three men fell killed or
wounded. Three men were instantly
killed, seven have since died, and ten
others are badly wounded. The mob
then hurriedly escaped, vowing venge-
arce.

they would not listen to us. They came
