THE FIRST OYSTER EATER.

Seeing the beautiful cream colored layers that shone within the shelly covering, and fancying the interior of the shell to be beauti- ful. the man lifted up the ''native" for further investigation, inserting his finger and thumb within the shell. The oyster, thinking, no doubt, that this was meant as @ further in suit, snapped its pearly doors close down upon the finger of the intruder causing him some little pain. After releasing his pinched finger. the man very naturally put it into his mouth.
 "Delightfulln exclaimed he. "What is thisr' and again he sucked his thumb. Then the truth flashed upon him that he had found a new delight He took up 8 stone and forced open the doors of the oyster, and gin gerly tried piece of the fish itself. Delicious was the result; and so, there and then, with no other condiment than the juice of the oys- ter, did that homeless solitary man make the first oyster conquest.
 very long time ago. indeedl He must have been a prehistoric savage, cave man. that enterprising discoverer, and he mus. have lived when the mammoth and the woolly rhinoceros roamed over the country now called England-for oyster shells are found in the relics of primitive forests and in the refuse heaps left behind them by the earliest inhabitants of Europe. Britain was famou. for its oysters in the time of the Romans.

pocToRiNo IN rHs DARK.

No sensible surgeon will attempt the performance of an operation involving human life in room secluded from the proper amount of light. A practitioner will not attempt the diagnosis of com plicated disease unless he can see the sufferer and make an examination upon which to base his opinion relative to the course of treatment necessary to bring about complete restoration of health.
 Notwithstanding the inpropriety of such action there seems to be a great deal of doctoring done in the dark.
 By this it is not intended that literal meaning be inferred, but that great many mistakes are committed because oi the darkness which is the result of jgnol- ance. It needs no illustration to demon strate that gross ignorance has caused many fatal mistakes to be made in the treatment of diseases by those who pro fess to be learned i'll the art of healing.
 In many diseases several organs are more or less implicated and what seems primary ailment may be one quite re- mote. For instance, q severe headache may have it's origin in disturbed stom. ach. On the other hand, sickness al the stomach may be caused by blow or the head. The seat of typhoid fever is in the upper part of the bowels, but mos of its worst symptoms are often in ths brain.
 Symptoms of disease as we'll ss diseasei themselves are oftentimes followers ol concomitants of some unsupported organ ic disease and this is peculiarly true o lung, liver, brain and heart diseases il general, for it is now known that the, are the result of kidney disease, whicl shows it's presence in some such indirec manner.
 Several years ago gentleman becsm convinced of the tr rdth of this and throug his efforts the world has been warned c kidney disease and as result of contin ued effort specific known as Warner Safe Cure was discovered, the genera use of which has shown 1t to be of iEes timable benefit in all cases where kidne treatment is desirable or necessary.
 When consumption is threatened SC to it that the condition of the kidneys immediately inquired into and if the are found diseased, cure them by an i'm mediate use of Warmers Safe Cure an the symptoms of lung decay will rapidl disappear.
 There are too many instances alread recorded of the terrible results produce by lack of knowledge concerning th cause of disease, and human life is of te much importance to be foolishly sacrifice to bigotry or ignorance.

What Can be Done.

If any one has any doubt as to what can be done by windmills as means of furnishing water for irriga- ton, they should visit A. V. Grosettas ranch about two miles north of the city. There he has one thousand fruit trees, one thousand grape vines, seve- ral acres of potatoes and a quantity of grain, alfalfa and Johnson grass all of which is growing most luxuriantly The entire tract is irrigated by a reser- voir supplied with water from two wells.
 Less than two years ago this same tract of land which is now beautiful garden and thrifty young orchard, was a desert. All that is required to con- vert all of the land surrounding into orchards, farms and gardens, is the application ofindustry with judgment i; such as MT. Grosetta has displayed in the reclamation of his lands, above re- ferred to. He will no doubt have a very large potato crop, the value of which will in all probability, give a cash return equal to one half of the cost of retaining and improving his lands.
 Not the least important feature of his industry and enterprise will be the fact that it demonstrates the feasibility of retaining land in the immediate vicinity of Tucson by the use of wind mills for raising water for irrigation.- Star.
 It is finally admitted by the family Harriet Beecher Stowe that she is ho 5elessly imbecile. She is not in- ga le, but has simply decayed men tally, while her body is in better he .lth than for many years. She is ve y old, but not older than Gladstone, Thurman and other brainy men, but she lived faster than they have done She never gave her giant intellect a rest for forty years, and outraged na- ture has at last demanded her own. Tt is pitiful end to so full, so rich life as hers, and world mourns with those of her own freside Second child hood in the long-lived family of Mrs Stowe is not uncommon, and it would look as if Providence delighted in building upGod-like intellects to show how weak, after all, they are, and how easily shattered by blow from the omnipotent.-EX.

The Missing Link Between Bisbee and
 DeminR,

The editor of the Fl Paso Bullion has interviewed the president of the new road, and he volunteered the fol lowing information:
 On Tuesday last the company's en- gineer corps left Nogales for Quay mas, Mexico, where actual work will be inaugurated on or about April ), on that part of the line that leads to Topolobampo, about 230 miles distant from the latter point. The lines will run northeast to intersect the Chin uahua branch at Guerrero. The com pany also contemplates the construe- ton of branch road to reach the ex- tensive anthracite and bituminous coal fields existing in Sonora. The main line will traverse an area of 300 miles of dense forest growth contain ing both representative of the soft and hard wood varieties of timber. Upon the Pacific slope division of the road there are large forests possessing sev- eral of the valuable woods, including mahogany, ebony, rosewood and Spanish cedar The fertile lands of the coast are noted for their adaptation to the production of sugar, rice and to- baccO.
 In addition to the excellent coal of Sonora, that will be rendered accessi- ble by the Iron horse, there will be immense bodies of red and brown hematite Ciron ore) brought within the reach of the influence of capital.

THE senate committee appointed to visit the arid regions of the United States for the purpose of investigating the necessities for government aid in the construction of storage reservoirs for irrigation, will shortly begin it's la bors. It will visit Arizona in due time and it should be provided every facility to thoroughly examine all available sites for these important works. Our citizens should take steps to lay before this committee such information re- lative to this valley as will induce it to visit it and thoroughly inspect the proposed reservoir site at the Butte as wei as the lands its waters can cover, in order that no oh ance of its omis- sion from it's report can occur. Phe- nix has already taken steps to secure it's presence in the Salt river valley and our people ought to do likewise before it has mapped out its route be- yond chance of change. This is an important matter and deserves imme- diate attention.

THE legislature, having drawn out its attenuated thread of existence far beyond the generally accepted term of it's legal existence, finally secured a quorum last Wednesday and proceeded to complete the business it had left undone when the limit of it's sixty days session was reached. The price paid for obtaining the quorum was the passage by the Council of the bill creating the new county of Coconino out of the eastern portion of Yavapai county and the question of the validity of the act must be decided before the value of the bargain can be determin- ed, assuming that the Governor will approve the bill which is extremely doubtful.

THE city of Phoenix has made won derful strides of progress during the past few years and it is the prettiest as well as the liveliest city in the ter ritory. Its public buildings are spac- ious and imposing; its streets are wide and level and well shaded; it has a line of street railway, electric lights and gas, and it's private residences are handsome and cosy. Its people are full of energy and enterprise and in everything calculated to advance the interests of the place they work in the most harmonious manner, notwith- standing any personal differences that may exist. The future of that city is certainly one of exceedingly bright promise and should it become a rall- road center, as now seems'probable, it will expand into a commercial city that Arizona can well afford to be proud of.

 Sawdust is one of the various substi- tutes for straw as bedding. As it does not make SO warm bed as straw, cor respondent of Rural House suggests using it as an under bed, with straw or leaves above. The straw or leaves so used last much longer, and the air of the stable is kept purer by the greater absorbent power of the sawdust underneath.

THE president is confronted with phase of human nature that is some what new to his experience. The du- plicity of mankind is as old as man himself, but the peculiar species of the article that has been forcibly brought to the attention of President Harrison exhibits a vein of base moral coward ice that no one has reason to feel proud of. A late press dispatch states that the president is said to be puzzled to know just what constitutes a terri torial endorsement for office. The spirit in which some of his territorial appointments have been received has led him into this condition of doubt. He is not convinced that he has made mistake in any instance, but he would like to know whether anybody exists in territory whose selection for office would not bring forth a pro- test. The President wonders at the ease and alacrity with which some of territorial politicians take sides against an appointment after having endorsed the candidates application in the warmest terms. "I appoint a man who seems to have the unanimous

THERE is considerable railroad talk aaoNt just now concerning that partic- ular portion of Arizona of which Flor ence is the commercial center, and sl- though talk alone has never built railroad and probably never will do so, it is an essential preliminary to the inauguration of every enterprise. One thing we may consider to be definite ly settled fact and that is, no railroad will enter our valley without the ma terial aiI and assistance of the people and we may as well accept this ulti- matum with the best possible grace. Every one recognizes the necessity existing here for rail communication with the outside world. Our isolation is the one serious obstacle to a rapid advancement in the progress and pros perity our incompatible valley merits, lines of railway can remedy this un- fortunate condition. The city of Phe- nix is an example of the worth of railroad and the county of Maricopa realizes that it never made better in- vestment than when it assumed the large indebtedness required to aid in the construction of it's branch road from Maricopa. The same conditions exist is this valley and like results will surely follow similar action upon our part. An application will be made to Congress for authority to issue bonds in the aid of q road from Casa Grande to this place. The distance is not so great as to require very large subsidy and the difference between the amount required to pay the interest upon our bonds and the taxes received from the road will be a very small sum indeed. The increase in assess able property created by the building of the road will far more than offset this difference and as commercial investment alone it will be Q highly profitable venture. When these bonds reach maturity the prosperous coun- try that will then exist here will be able to meet their redemption with out the least difficulty. Itis a judicious plan to build up at least one import ant city within the county and to this end every possible facility should be provided to concentrate industrial and commercial enterprises at that one point. The present town of Florence is favorably located for such great metropolis and it is the interest ol every resident of the county to aid ir building up city within it's limits that is worthy of such designation. The first necessary step is the construction of railroad and to this effort wt should all unite and harmoniouslS bend our best energies.

 Once upon a tiHe-it must have been very long time ago, however, man who was walking by the sea shore listening to the murmur of the sad sea waves, espied an old and ugly oyster all covered with parasites and sea weeds. It was so ugly that he kicked it with his foot, and the animal, astonished at receiving such rude treatment on Its own domain, gaped wide with indignation.

THE appointments made by Gov ernor Woltley are not, in some partic- ular instances, calculated to promote the interests of the republican party in this territory nor to increase the respect of the people for their chief executive. While majority of the appointments may be considered eminently proper there are several that must meet with the disapproval of a large portion of the people. As men and citizens they doubtless stand well, but each possesses peculiar quail ties that, upon the ground of good policy alone, should have prompted other selections in their places. No one questions the legal ability of At torney General Clark Churchill, but his appointment is matter of ex- treme regret to nine out of every ten republicans in the territory. It was likewise generally expected that MT Herbert Brown, editor of the Tucson Citizen, would be rewarded for his gallant fight with the position of Com missioner of Immigration, but his em- ployer was booked for very import ant position and the office was given to one whose calling and knowledge of the territory are not in harmony with the duties thereof The prison com missioners, 1t was rumored, were se- lected with a view to place MT. R. H. Paul in Supt. Behan's place. The propriety of selecting an ex-commis- sioner for re-appointment cannot be regarded as altogether a fitting tribute to his distinguished ability nor to his party service, but is rather the ex- tinguishment Of a personal obligation. Beyond these there is but little to critlcise in the appointments made,ex- cepting the questionable propriety of selecting members of the legislature for appointive office. This practice cannot be commended under any cir cumstances.

endorsement of all prominent citizens of the territory from which he comes" The president is reported to have said: "and 1 congratulate myself, judging from hislendorsements and drecOmmend- ations, that possibly he is the best man in the territory. As soon as the appointment IS announced, forthwith telegrams of protest come in, declar- ing the man dishonest and incapable, and asking that the appointment be held up until charges are filed. Now, what shall do? The man was endors- ed and recommended by the best and most prominent citizens of the terri
 tory, and as soon as his appointment is made these same citizens seem to discover that he is dishonest and in capabi e." This sort of endorsement and protest combined is somewhat an moving to the president, but he inti- mates that the protesting should be done first or else 1t won't count.
