The Phenix Gazette boasts of the su- periorIty of the reports of the leglsla,is Vt
 proceedings as published in the daily pa.
 pers of Phenix. With all due respeo,
 to the Gazette andthe other p,pers there,
 we are compelled to state that we hay
 never seen more unsatisfactory reports
 published of a legislative body elsewhere.
 We defy any man to take the files of the
 Phenix daily press and read the ieeisli- tive proceedings contained therein ant from them be able to tell the nature oi the legislative work. Bills. with bu; few exceptions. were reported by numher on their introduction, ther title or nature being omitted. and they were followed through their entire course by number. There were few exceptions. but very few. and it would require an expert guesser to be able to tell the contents cf house or council hill No. -, as reported by the Phenix papers.

From our special to- day from Phenlx It will be seen that that ely is nc, secure in the location of the capital Of the ter ritory. There was no disgusting the fact that many of the legislators, after
 taking away from northern Arizona the only public institution that she had. felt somewhat ashamed afterwards ot the part they took in it. This feeling was also increased from the fact that 1t was so transparent that the removal of the capi- tal was effected through nosoriousiy corrupt methods. and from the further fact that after securing the much coveted prize, PheniX failed to keep her prom ises in the matter. Like the horse leeeh's daughter. the cry of the people of the pumpkin raising metropolis has been give, give, give.-gye us an appro- tor the insane asylum, give us an appro- priation to build fine hotel at the pub lie expense at Tempe for the fifteen to
 twenty students attending the normal school give us the governor and all the the other territorial officers, give-- give us the territory and everything adjoining, in fact their greed seems to be i',s ti.ble and nothing short of the cath wtii. one of two of the mi nor planets and section of the moon thrown in seems big enough to fill the vacuum caused by their wants. Not satisfied with s, curing the capital through their corruption, their delega
 ion in the legislature, and we make no exceptions, seemed to entertain a spe- cial malice towards this county, and every measure coming up for hs de spoh~uon or tending to injure the town of r,esc, tt met with their hearty sup. po:t. Sill not satisfied, when their candidate for governor failed to receive recognition from the administration and a man from another part of the territory having received disappointment. Phenix republicans immediately Set ia motion a scheme to prevent his confirmation, thereby not only. .injming the territory. but injuring the party 10 which they profess to belong. While we doubt the possibility of any further capital removal during the present session there is but little doubt that at the next session of the leg islature It will be removed to some other point. Prescott scarcely hopes to again get it, but it is not good policy to con- centrate all the public institutions of the territory al oee point. Another subject which must engage the attention of flu ture legislatures, and the earlier the better. is the selection of healthier site for the insane asylum. In the pres ent location, the confinement of the unfortunate wards of the territory, is ab- solute cruelty, and as a sanitary measure
 the asylum must be inevitably moved to cooler and healthier place. The confne- ment in that institution of perfectly sane and healthy persons m the summer time is sufficient to produce insanity in them. The territory can better afford to appro- priate an annuity for the benefit of Phenix than it can to maintain an asy- lum for the confinement of its insane in that unhealthy and overheated valley.

THE DRUNRARD's sOLILOQUY "A
PARODY.

To drink or not to drink, that's the question:,
Whether It's nobler in man to combat
The cunning arguments of the Murphyltes
Or to renounce 2L once the toxic cup,
And by signing hush them. 10 sign,
To drink no more; and by signing TO say, Fare
well
To whisky and the many inward psngs
Thou ST given fise to- lis consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To sign 10 swear off:
To swear of percnance 10 drink again; ay
there's the rub.
For habit doth so dreadfully enthrail US.
That when we shuttle off this odious vice,
1t holds us tight; there's the respect
That makes havoc OF many life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns oil
time,
Dyspepsia pains. the pangs of conscience,
The wild craving. deliTium's apparitions,
When he himself might his quietus make
With his bare signature Who would drink
forego,
70 pine and crave for whisky
But that the dread OF snakes within the boots
That fearful delirium from whose grasp
Few cut loose, puzzles the VIII
And makes MS rather willing 70 swear of
Than risk becoming swinish sots.
Thus conscience maketh towards of rs all;
And thus the native hue Of resolution
Is sicklied o er with the pale cast OF thought;
And enterprises of great pith aud moment
Collapse. and life itself seems awry
And void of pleasure. Hark We now
Trace, did you say; energy from above
Given TO mOrtals wberewlthal to cont bat
Rank passions of the SOUL and aspire
For nobler THINGS? Is it so?
Can grace assuage the strong desire
The raging thirst for toxic drinks
Can IL battle the fiend which urges GU
To hideocs drunkenness Great God
Shed down on me that potent grace
That, shutting of this thrall of rum.
Myself be again. LEO Dysds.

AFTERNOON SESSION..
ssFIXEDv CAPITAL.
The Perishable Quality of Nearly al,
Forms of Investments.

It is curious to observe that the only
relics Of the great Roman Empire which
now have any actual utility among men
are the Roman road and the Roman law;
the one, which was constructed to open the
way for conquest remains an open way
for commerce; the other remains at the
foundation of our civil organizations all
else has vanished except Roman litera-
ture and art. OF all the forms of capital
which at the present day are springing
into existence perhaps less will remain
even century hence than now remains of
the capital or products of the Roman EN-
pire, if we except the opening of the ways.
The term fixed capital" is sometimes
used to distinguish the less perish
able forms of capital from those which
are but useful only for the day but there
is nothing fixed except the law of change.
There are factories in existence which
purport to be fifty years old but within
that time the motive power and all the
machinery has changed once, twice, or
thrice; where land can be had, true econ
omy may now consist in taking down the
high building of five or six stories, piled
one upon another, and in reconstructing
the mill only one or two stories above the
ground. Who can tell when the next in
ventor will appear who will destroy all
the rolling-stock of the railways? Who
can tell how long people viii be satisfied
with the present crude and unscientifc
methods of constructing dwelling houses
What useful factor or form Of capital
exists in material form to-day that is
more than a few years old? What per-
manent improvement have we made on
the face of the land even in this country,
modern as it is, except in leveling the
hills, piercing the mountains, filling up
the valleys and laying down the ways Of
commerce? All that we can do is to move
something; we can make nothing And
when we have opened the way, laid the
rail and brought the line to the seaboard,
why do we obstruct the distribution of
our own products? Why do we construct
legal barriers to commerce with Canada
and Mexico, for instance, more difficult
and costly to surmount than. any of the
heavy grades over or of the tunnels through
the mountains.-Forsm.

Curing Meats.

To one gallon of water take one and one
half pounds of salt, one-half pound Of
sugar, one-fourth ounce of saltpetre, one
half ounce Of potash Omit the potash I'M
less YOU can get the pure article. Drug
gists usually keep it.
In this ratio the pickle can be increased
to any quantity desired. Let these be
boiled together until the dirt from the
sugar rises TO the top and is SKINNED off,
Then throw it into a tub to cool, and when
cold pour it over your beef or pork. The
meat must be well covered with pickle,
and should not be put down for at least
two days after killing, during which time
it should be slightly sprinkled with pow
dered saltpetre, which removes all surface
blood, etc, leaving the meat fresh and
clean. Some omit boiling the pickle and
find it to answer, though the operation Of
boiling purifies the pickle by throwing off
the dirt always to be found in salt and
sugar. Ii this recipe is strictly followed it
will require but single trial to prove its
superiority over the common way, or most
ways, Of putting down meat, and il will
not soon be abandoned for any other. The
meat is unsurpassed for sweetness, delicacy
and freshness of color.-Ge1nadmtoi Iele-

conviviality, he said: "If you will submit,
Sir Mark, to ask it as favor, you may be
off" This the Baronet refused to do
Gilbert, Of which Sir Mark acknowledged
the receipt, and he had continued paying
the guinea day for nearly three years
At length he declined further payment,
and this action was for recovery of the sum
still due upon the contract.
The Earl of March, above mentioned,
on laying bet that he would cause mes
sage to be dispatched a certain distance
quicker than any horse could convey it,
won his wager by inclosing the message in
a cricket ball, which was thrown from
hand to hand by relays of professional
cricketers. AS Duke Of Queensberry, he
betted 1000 guineas that he would pro-
duce man who would eat more at a meal
than any one whom Sir John Lade could
find. The Duke was informed of his sue
cess-not being present at the achievement
by the following bulletin from the field
of battle: Ny Lord, have not time to
state particulars, but merely TO acquaint
your Grace that your man beat his antago-
mist by an apple pie"
AZ W ultS COutC-uOuSt,
the last century gaming was carried on to
heavy amounts, book was always laid
upon the table for entering wagers, and in
these betting-books, some of which still ex-
list, may be found bets on all conceivable
subjects; on marriages, births, deaths; on
the duration Of ministry on the chance
of an election, on rascaPs risk of the
halter, or the shock of an earthquake
Bets were made that Sarah, Duchess of
Marlborough, would outliye the old
Duchess of Cleveland that Sir William
Burdett, member of the club, and "a
man of infamous character would be the
first Baronet to be hanged and Lord
Mountford laid wager of twenty guineas
with Sir John Bland that Beau Nash
outlived Colley Cibber. Lord Mountford
and Sir John Bland both blew their brains
out in 1855 Cibber died two years later,
and Nash survived till 1761-Chambers'

| heard good story about the Pope the

privilege Of being received by him some
time ago was a young man, or boy, from

the Papal intention, grasped the proffered
hand in his own and ifnpiouslv wiggied it.
