Few countries have "A more brilliant and
romantic early history than Arizona and
New Mexico, and few countries are so for
innate as to have snch painstaking and
talented an historian as Hubert Howe BAN
croft. For thirty years he has been gath
ering material and writing his history.
He has searched every quarter of the
world, expanding a life time of toll and a
million of money. Thus the information
contained in so, 900 volumes was compress
ed into 80 volumes.
And until this volume was published the
results of his vast efforts and expenditure
could only be purchased as a whole. But
such a large number of our people were so
anxious to obtain the volume separate from
the full set, that the publishers finally con
sented to deviate from their former rule,
and give this matchless production the
widest possible circulation. This will
prove of the greatest benefit to our people,
and of the highest qualification TO the
WblNA at lhi E'f v thNlH dAb lew any Mhfit
who are not interested in our wonderous
story.
The work is deserving of the most lib
eral support. 1t should be in the hand,
ct every man and woman throughout tn,
land. As author and historian Mr.. Ban.
croft is second to none living. Says tn,
British Quarterly Review, mo historian
has more faithfully painted his heroes
bctl in light and shade, than Mr.. Ban
croft. In this he shows the rarest power,
for he preserves relation, and makes tn

the LIBERAL recommended to Secretary

According to I'M English provincial paper,
a Mr.. Cash, n board sc~hoolmastcr, and Mr..
Prinsle, a solicitor, were out photographing,
and n plate was exposed on q river view near
ipswich. When the plato was developed,
there was plainly revealed, i'll tho fore
ground of the picture, tho figure of q woman
apparently floating upright in tho water, us
it is declared that drowned bodies sometimes
will, after immersion for u certain length of
time. The face and head arc clearly out
lined, the arms are hanging straight by the
side of the body. which is clad in ordinary
female attire, and is visible to the waist; and
the portrait generally appears to be that of
Il tall and comely young woman"
The schoolmaster and solicitor, apparently
thinking there was ONE peculiar phantom in
tho river invisible to tho eye, lut able to i'm
press tho plato, took u chief of police into
their council, and tho collective wisdom of
the three took the form of trying to capture
the phantom by dragging the river. In COM
menting on this, The Photographic News ex-
presses the opinion that possibly by this time
Mcssrs. Cash, Pringle, and the chief of police
have learned that phantom images OH gela-
tine plates are not extremely rare, as n mi
mute hole in a drying cupboard or box will
often cast an image on a plate. Again, such
phantom images occasionally arise from a
minute hole in the camera, plate box, or ten
the dark slide. Most likely u little inquiry
will serve to idcntify tho original of the phan-
toin portrait. Science.

When savage people first come in contact
with the whites none of the wonders that they
see is regarded with more suspicion than large
sheets of paper. Til native is apt to regard
paper as q sort of cloth, and the fact that i,
tears easily and is worthless for most of the
purposes to which cloth is put convinccs him
that it isl fraud. One or two Congo travellers
have told of the disgust with which tie ma.
tives at first regarded paper. The Congo
tribes, by the way, are on the lookout for
sharpers, and it is pretty hard work for any
body to sell them a bad quality of cutlery or
cloth. Savages soon find, however, that paper
is not intended to serve the purposes of cloth.
Then they cease to look upon it as a fraud,
but they do not think it ranks high among
white mans manufactures and they have
little use for it.

violin was put into a museum to preserve it
when ln%nspruck was invaded by the French,

do part with it You shall nave it for 400

Trout That Remembered.

"Some time before tho death of Seth Green,
tho celebrated fish culturist and naturalist, u
said a gentleman who takes great interest in
piscatorial matters, recently, ~ paid u visit
with him to the fish hatcherics Mt Caledonia,
In one of the ponds there, at that timc, there
wcre 5000 large brook trout, every one of
which had been captured with the ny-in I'M
frcqucnted brooks in the Adirondack region.
These trout, Mr.. Green said, had convinced
him that fish had reasoning power and MEM
DRY When they were hooked, he said, and
were recled slowly in by the careful fishermen
who were capturing them for the state pond,
they had time and opportunity to note the
form and character Of tho tackle that made
them prisoners. According to Mr.. Green
they never forgot that experience. The trout
had been in the pond n long time, the females
never being allowed to spawn there, and
would follow Mr.. Green as he walked along
the edge of the water, tossing bits of livcl.
into the pond. To show that his theory
about their memory and reason was correct
he would carry a cane and n fish rod conceal
cd behind his back. If he took the cane from
its concealment and held it out over the wa
ter the fish paid no attention to it, but tho
moment lie produced the rod with its reel
and line attached away the trout scampered
like Il flash to distant parts of the pond. Mr..
Green told me that he would permit any one
to cast n fly in that pond to his hearts con-
tent, us he was satisfied that not one of the
trout would come near it, so wildly did they
remember their enemy of five years aco.n-
