COrn-Fed Carp.

"Mose" Langley, of Kirkland valley has the best arranged carp pond in Ar zona. It is fed from a nevcr-failing spring, which furnishes several hun dred miners inches of pure, clear and cool water the entire year. Instead of the bottom of tine pond or lake being covered with mud in which the carp can burrow, as Is their natural custom, it is covered with sand. MT. Langley also discourages them from this prac- tice of burrowing in the mud by feed ing thera as regularly as he would his chickens or domestic animals. The feed consists of dry, hard corn, cab bage and other vegetables. In one end of the pond he has an enclosure in which the largest and best fish are kept and regularly fed on corn, and from which he obtains his supply for the table. Keeping and feeding them in this way his fish are all large and plump, and when killed the meat is found to be perfectly solid and firm instead of soft and fabby, as has been the case with all fish brought to mar ket in Prescott, while the flavor is said to almost equal that of any mountain trout. MT. Langley says he has fed two tons of corn to them during the past year. It is thrown into the pond on the cob, and the grains are soon stripped off by them. He also says that he has killed them within half an hour after being fed, and found the corn in their stomachs thoroughly ground up as fine as it would be il found in the stomach of hog.-Pres colt JOurnal-Miner.

About Correct.

The following remarks which, cor rectly set forth the facts, are taken from the Gallup (N. M) News-Regis ter:
 Several New Mexico papers recently mentioned in glowing terms of return of a large number of Indian children from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where they have been spending the hast six years acquiring an education.
 To the writer it was sad news. One day this week he learned of one of these Indian boys who have thus, by the very sublimation of cruelty, been educated and sent back to their tribe. Among these unfortunates is Maya o boy, a nephew of Watchman John, watchman at the Navajo reservation. This poor boy returns to his tribe not able to speak one word of his mother tongue, and English but brokenly. He has no means for his own support, no knowledge of Indian craft, no trade practiced among the Indians with which to support himself, no means to go out among the whites and earn a living, no friends; and is left, deserted indeed, among the savages to starve. There is no provision for the support of this boy, yet but boy. What is to become of him? He is the laughing stock of the Indians, the by-word of the low whites, pitied only by agency employees who have no means of aid ing him. This is the work of the cruel fools who take Indian children from their tribe, partially educate un- til they forget their mother tongue and send them out to the wild tribes that have forgotten them, to starve or | to turn thieves.

INDIAN SCHOOLS.
What an Educated Pima Indian Thin1

What an Educated Pima Indian Thinks.
 J. K. Owens, interpreter at the Sac aton Indian Agency, was in the city yesterday He has been taking va cation, visiting the Indian government and mission schools at Albuquerque, New Mexico. He informs the Star that there are 97 Pima and Papago Indian pupils in the Albuquerque schools, all of whom appear to be mak- ing good progress. If there was sui fcient accommodations at the Indian school here he thinks 1t would be a good thing for Tucson and for their Pima Indian pupils, as it would keep them here instead of being sent to New Mexico.
 He thinks the practice of sending the boys and girls back to the reserva- tions during vacation is bad policy, as they forget much they learn and ac- quire rapidly their old habits on the reservation, which is set back to them when they return to school.
 The crops on the Pima reservation were unusually good this season, but the rain destroyed at least third so he was informed
 MT. Owens was educated at the Al buquerque school, and he says he has enjoyed his visit and vacation very much. He visited the teachers and the premises of the Indian school here and is in hope that that the building will be sufficiel t,y enlarg d to accom- modate all the Pima and Papago Indian boys who want an education.-Tucsor Star

A Tucson Episode

From a party who visits Tucson the Prospector learned little interesting news which as not yet been published by the Tucson papers.
 It seems that about a year ago, a young man by the name of Meyer was employed as head clerk in the land office there. He represented himself as the son of wealthy banker in the east. He became a member of the Commercial club and belongs to the "aristocratic" circle which an intro duction into the club conveys with it. He was very attentive to a young so- ciety lady of that city, and 1t was re- ported that he was engaged to marry her. He was also prominent appli- cant for Fred Smiths place, and re- ceived the backing of the club. Every thing ran along smoothly until few days since when Deputy U. s. Marshal Neustatter conveyed some prisoners to San Quentin. While there he dis covered that Meyer was no other than s. B. May, an ex-convict who had been sent from Los Angeles county for grand larceny. In some manner Meyer was posted, and left on South ern Pacific train last week leaving society richer in experience but poorer in coin which he had secured from his friends before leaving.

North Dakota has adopted model constitution in many respects. It is said to be compilation of the best clauses on different points, taken from a number of the best governed states in the union. The article on taxation it taken from the Wisconsin constitu- ton, which provides that the rate of taxation shall be uniform on property made taxable by the legislature, the method of taxation to be regulated by the legislature. It gives the legisla- ture power to regulate railroad and other transportation, and provides a clause against woman suffrage. It re- quires foreigner to be in the state two years after declaring his intention to become a citizen, before the right of suffrage is conferred upon him !; that the property of the wife at mar riage and what she may acquire after ward shall be exempt from execution and claims against her husband; it limits the number of members of each house of the legislature to the lowest effective representative working force and provides limit to the member ship, beyond which it cannot go,-Ex- chanpe

Hanging Doors and Blinds.

In hanging a number of doors which are of tho same size, the time expended upon meas uring the correct position of the hinges may be, according to Building News, saved in very simple manner. Take a lath and mark upon the top and bottom the exact position where the hinges should come, drive in at these marks sharp pointed brads, and you have gauge which may be used in hanging all doors of the same size. In using it, all that is necessary is to place it against tho edge of the door with the top of the lath on the level with the top of the door, give it sharp tap of the hand, when the brads will mark the exact position of the hinges.
 The same gauge lath may be used in mark ing out the position of the hinges of the stile of the door frame, excepting that a nail should be driven in the bottom of it, so that there may be sufficient room left at the bottom to allow proper play of the door. The use of a gauge lath in the case referred to is an example of its Rse It is of equal utility in hanging many other pieces, such, for instance, as inside and outside blinds. shut ters etc

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

Some Admirable Traits of Foreign Society Not Yet Quite Attained in America. There is a simplicity and absence of sell consciousness in the manners of foreigners, ac cording to Mrs. Sherwood, which has not yei reached America. She affirms that you vii rarely see a bashful Frenchman. He aski you to his wedding, his simple dinner or hii little feast, offering you the best he has, and as he is not thinking of himself, but of you, as be is not ashamed of his small means, he makes you perfectly happy. Such thing al a capricious hostess is known in America, but it is not known on the Continent
 A capricious woman who forgets that she has asked you to dinner, who is late at her own dinner, who invites more people than she has room for, but who is so graceful and fascinating and lovely that everybody for gives her, Is one of the agonies of society, for she makes every one uncomfortable and yet nobody can do without her.
 Phyllis is my only joy,
 Changeful as the winds of morning,
 Sometimes willful sometimes coy,
 All my VOWS and raptures scorning,
 She'll my ancient wishes tease,
 Yet she never fails to please except when seven or eight other people are put out by her little wiles.

More Railrc ad Routes.

MT. N R. Gibson, the engineer who is looking up the best rail route for Phenix, returned to-day from a recon noisance northeast to the Tonto Ba- sin and Rim Rock country. He left Mir. w. J. Murphy's family at Ward's s Sunshine ranch, near Mt. Ord.
 MT. Gibson's route was from Fort Mcdowell up Sycamore creek to its head above Mt Ord, where he examin- ed that pass and proceeded on over Reno pass to Tonto Basin, and finally >-the terminus of Riordan's Mineral Belt survey at Payson. He reached the timber country on the Rim, which is comparatively level after the 6,600 feet of elevation has been overcome.
 Although the Reardon survey and location has not been carried down to the valley, the worst part has been made. This would be a more expers- i've route for Phenix than the propos- ed Prescott line, although cheap one l to Globe. Mir. Gibson waited at the Mormon settlement of Pine and in Strawberry valley to meet MT. Rear uOil, Ou6 lIl0 ldIIeT ldlIou lO CO1l0Ct in consequence of the heavy thunder storms prevailing. Proceeding north westerly to Camp Verde, MT. Gibson found more direct route to Phenix from the Verde headwaters southeast. erly to Fort McDowell
 Should MT. Riordan build down Wild Rye Creek, Phenix could build up Salt river fifty miles to connec- tion, which would involve about twen. ty-fve miles of canyon road at about $50,OO0 per mile. This however would be cheaper than via Mt. Ord with its $3O,OO0 per mile canyon and 1 1,500-foot tunnel.
 From Camp Verde MT. Gibson went west to Agua Fria and examined the Black canyon route. This is possible line and shorter than the Vulturt route by forty miles. It would rur due north from Phenix to a point l. miles east of Prescott, thence north erly and southwesterly to that city Although shorter it would not accom- modate the mining interests any bet ter, if as well as the Vulture route.- Herald.

Prison Warrants To be Issued

The Star is informed that Terri torial Auditor Thos. Hughes, will audit the Territorial prison accounts and Governor Wolhey, it is understood, will sign the same.
 The board appointed by Governor Wolfey has thus far failed to make a legal demand on the old board for the muniments of office Auditor Hughes will be pursuing the right course in issuing warrants on account of the same, and this will relieve the mer- chants who are furnishing supplies for the prison as we'll as the employees of the prison who are entitled to their salaries for services performed.-Star.

It is pretty we'll settled that Phenix will enjoy the benefits of rail connec- tion with the Atlantic and Pacific trunk line before another twelve month. We do not care whether the road goes by Prescott, or connects with the old Mineral Belt road with its terminus at Flagstaff. Either will give us market for our products in Northern Arizona, and bring to us lumber at about one half the price we are now paying. At the present time the owners of the latter route seem to have the best of the propositions, as they have already secured the capital with which to build, and their road at present runs nowhere, nor has 1t any profitable traffic. It Is certain, how ever, that several large mining com panies will back the project of rail- road between Phenix and Prescott, and it is barely possible that we may have both lines. Data already com piled is sufficient to show that the trade of a north and south railroad will be profitable as soon as construc- ted

NEW WORKS PROPOSED CATHEDRAL
One of the Four Plans from Which a
 Selection May Be Made.

One of the Four Plans from Which
 Selection May Be Made.
 Of the designs furnished the trustees of the proposed Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine, to be built at New York, four were set apart for elabora- tion. and from these four it is probable that one may be selected. So important a matter must necessarily be slow of set clement, and it is not likely that any de- sign will be selected before the begin ming of next year. Indeed, the present year will doubtless be ended before the designs are elaborated.
 The plan which is the joint work of George Martin Huss and John H. Buck, of New York, stands high in favor. The architects have designed the cathedral in the usual form of such structures, a cross; and from the junction of the nave and transepts rises q magnificent spire, The material suggested for the outside is granite or Wyoming valley or Warsaw blue stone and Indiana buff limestone It is proposed to face the walls with wrought stone and marble shafts and slabs. The roof above the vaulting is to be of iron, filled in with fire proof blocks and covered with lead or copper.

The Oppressed Apache.

The philanthropists of the Indian Rights Association think that the captive Apaches now in Alabama need mountain air. These oppressed native Americans, after torturing and mur- dering women and children until they had the misfortune to be caught, were transported to the indictment confines of Florida. There they pined along with Standard Oil millionaires, Bos- ton consumptives and other exiles un- til it became clear to the vigilant eyes of the Indian Rights Association that they could not survive the rigors of the climate any longer. Then they were moved to Alabama. Now that too has become uncomfortable, and the Government is searching for noun tain sanitarium that will restore to the suffering children of nature the flush of health and happiness that played modestly under the real estate on their cheeks when they scalped with Geronimo.
 It is strange that the friends of the noble red man are so obtuse. Can they not see that it is not a physical but a mental ailment that afflicts their wards? The exiles miss the joyous sports of their native home. If the Indian Rights Association would pro- vide few white families to be chased on stolen ponies and then burnt, i'm paled or fayed, according to the gay inspiration of the moment, there would be no more complaints of the Alabama climate The Apache, in- different to physical hardship, but the creature of his sensibilities, needs nothing to keep him in condition but little innocent merriment-S.

sides being elected to represent the Sixth senatorial district of the Massachusetts general assembly, he soon attracted the attention of moneyed men who were in- terested in the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette road, who sent him to Cincinnati as receiver of the line. This was in 1871, and so badly had it been managed that it's stock was worth less than fifty cents on the dollar, and the road was soon placed in bankruptcy. In two years MT.

Cincinnati was without Union depot, and no railroad during those hard times would think of investing money in such venture. He went ahead, and the magnificent Union depot, costing over one and half mill- ions, was the result, and when completed the other roads were only too willing to purchase part of the structure.
