Another Statehood Scheme.

MT Allan H. Macdonald, at pres ent editor of two different papers in New Mexico, was in Fl Paso and in a lengthy interview disclosed a piece of news that we had heard rumors of before. It is no more nor less than scheme that is rap- idly gaining popular favor in south ern New Mexico, of taking out that portion of the territory, with a slice of Arizona, another, say Ell Paso county, Texas, and from separate territory, ready for admission as a state.
 This he represents as the feeling of many people there, and should Ell Paso county, which is large enough for a state within itself, unite with them, whether parties in Arizona wished to or not, we would have the territory and the population, but it, of course, would be desirable to include part of that territory also.
 Now, while of course many might laugh at ideas of this kind as wis., ionary, yet to the thoughtful such future for the vast territory in- cluded, looks probable. The state capital ofTexas is nearly 700 miles away, while that of New Mexico is several hundred also. This state is large enough for four or five states and so is New Mexico. The terri tory proposed would place us in the centre, and then the nature and production of the country all alike would not be hampered or hindered by legislatures who know nothing of our wants and needs, but meas ure enactments by a different soil, climate and surroundings. Now, this is the way MT. Macdonald pres ents it and is it bad reasoning?- Tribune.

There arrived here this week from Humboldt, Kansas, six head of the sort of stock that we like to see brought into the Territory-two stallions, one a ten-months-old Hambletonian, the other a three year-old pure-blood horse being of Kentucky blood and Black Hawk stock, and four young bulls-threc thoroughbred Shorthorns and one half Shorthorn and half Hereford. This stock belongs to John Pringle, brother of Robert Pringle, the we'll known Gila county stockman, and will be driven to the ranch of the latter near Globe.-WilcoX Stockman.

The Mohawk Canal.

The completion of the great Mo- hawk canal means prosperity for Yuma county. The canal has been carefully and skilfully planend, sur veyed and excavated, with head gate that is perfect, guarantees to the settlers in the valley an am- pie and permanent supply of the fertilizing waters of the rio Gila. There has been some unavoidable delay in the final construction of the canal, but the vexatious acci- dents of the past are no longer re- membered by the happy and fortu- nate land owners in the lovely Mo- hawk valley. The enterprise from it's inception was a grand one, and fraught with many and mighty diff faculties. But energetic enterprise overcame the obstacles one by one, until the great way is completed and with every hour adds to the wealth of the country. It insures the settlement of a land rich enough and capable ofsustaining thousands ofindustrious settlers, who are anx- ious to secure homes in this coun- ty; to enjoy our matchless climate and at the same time gain enough from the fruits of their labor to give them in a short time comfortable homes, with sufficient wealth to pro- tect them from toll and want in af- ter years.-Yuma Sentinel.

Remains a Mystery.

There are some, perhaps the great CT majority of the people of the Salt River valleywho think that Mir. Web ster who lately disappeared from Phoenix, and who was supposed to have been drowned in crossing the Salt river, is at large, and perhaps gone east. There are grounds for this suspicion, for on the night that he disappeared, he had forged two notes-that is, signed the name of the late firm of c. T. Hayden-Mill- ing Company, to them, which few days before, dissolved, and of which he had been a member. It is re- ported also, that he was seen in room of a Chinese restaurant two hours after he had left Phoenix for Tempe. On the same evening he had borrowed $40 in sums of $20 each from parties in Phoenix. It is further said, and the suspicion is very strong that his mission to the Chinese restaurant was to disguise himself as a Chinman, which it is thought hedid and boarded the train at 3 o'clock the next morning for Maricopa, and thence left for parts unknown. His friends, and in fact the entire community would rather know positively that Mir. Webster had been drowned than have com mitted the crime of which he is charged and for which he left the country.-Star.

Pima county is producing more precious metals monthly than any other county in Arizona. Four mills are rnnning steadily and two smell ters, and hundreds of tons ore are being shipped monthly to various reduction works outside of the ter ritory. All of this ore is high grade and as a natural result gives large returns. Steadily the mining out put of Pima has been advancing during the last year, and it is sur prising when we come to make the estimates to learn that nearly if not more than a thousand men are employed in the mining industry of Pima county, and this number is steadily increasing.-Star.

Rich Stike at QuijOtOa.

From Supt. Pickett, of the Bo- nanza Company at Quijotoa it is learned that very rich strike was made three miles from that camp last week by a man named Stein burn, who has been prospecting in that vicinity for several months. The strike is said to be the richest that has been made in that vicinity since the discovery of the old Bull ion mine. The oreis very similarssto that found in the Bullion. Mir. Pickett says the samples he saw from the new strike is studded with spikes of pure silver. The mine will be developed and the result will be that prospecting will be pushed with new vigor in that vicinity, which will result in further strikes, as the Quijotoa is one of the rich est districts in5 Southern Arizona and future developments will bring forth untold wealth.
 The Bonanza Company is doing we'll, their mill is run every day over one hundred men are now at work and the outlook is very prom ising now for the mining interests at Quiiotoa.-Citizen.

It is now said that operations on the proposed Nicaragua Canal will probably be begun this month by sending dredging plant to Grey town. The harhor of this town, which is to be the terminus of the canal, is constantly liable to be fill ed up by sand moving westwardly through the action of shore cur rents. It is proposed to construct a pier of brush and piles, which will allow the harbor to be opened to vessels of 15 or IS feet draft. The work of permanent improve ment to 30 feet draft will not be be- gun until the building of railroad inland. This road will bring rock taken from the great rock-cut, and which will be used for the sides of the canal through the marsh-lands, and for the construction of a per manent pier at Greytown.-Phila- delphia American.

"I Fought for a Funeral"

witnessed this incident in the
 Senate, in which Thomas H. Ben
 ton played a prominent part. Sen
 ator Foote, of Mississippi, had as-
 sailed him violently daily until MT.
 Benton deliberately arose one morn
 ing Tn the Senate and declared that if the rules of the senate were not enforced by the presiding officer, he would take the rules in his own
 hands. He notified the Senator from Mississippi that Eff he contin- ues his personal assaults on myself, l will take care of him myself" We'll, I was quietly writing one morning when my ear told me that Foote was pursuing precisely the same course of proceeding as the day before; the chair of Benton on my left was thrown back with great violence and he passed me in the area and went toward Foote as if he had a purpose in his mind. Sen ator Foote glided out from his seat down amid the Senators, taking from some part of his person pis- tol and attempted to cock it. I sup pose it was one of that kind of pis- tols that had a guard in the rear, and he had forgotten to pull the guard around and could not cock it, but when he was passing down and trying to use the pistol Benton literally tore his vest open and said Senators, stand aside and let the assassin shoot" We'll, the assassin finally reached the seat of Daniel H. Dickinson, of New York, who disarmed him, and then there was a cry all over the senate: "No quar- relingl no quarreling!" Benton had returned to his seat, and with the dignity of Roman, he said: "N[r. President, never quarrell l have sometimes fought, and when l fought I fought for funeral !"-| Speech of Hannibal Hamlin.

ing the young gentleman was dis missed to meditate on his sins and let poultry attend to their own business. The third day Tom was missing. The nurse maid discovered him seated on nest in the chicken house, wear ing the same absorbed, anxious ex- pression noted in hens when trying to do their duty. Coaxing was unheeded, and gentle violence failed to dislodge the enthusiastic little monkey. Pa tiently and seriously he sat through the appointed time, and then attempted to fly off the nest, his consequent fall diminishing in no degree the furious cackling to which he gave all the might of his powerful young lungs. Round and round the straw-filled box he pranced, peepiDg in every few seconds in comical imitation of sur cessful lady chicken.
 By this time the family became seriously alarmed, strove to distract his mind and did verything possible to keep temptation out of his way. All was useless, however. The child actually seemed to develop new sense and could smell the eggs no matter how craftily they were hidden. His keen little nose invariably ferret ed them out, and soon the baby's hours for laying, sitting and hatching were recognized by the household. No day went by but what Tommy adjourned to the hen-house or poultry-lot to try his luck as a devoted little incu- bator. Every noon a sweet childish cackling would be heard, and with a strutting walk Tommy would come around full of delight over new laid egg.
 Argument and reasoning were vainly tried. Amenable in all else, he utterly refused to relinquish his ambitions in the chicken line. Change of scene made not the slightest difference, and if eggs were put out of his reach he tried industriously to hatch oats, potatoes or any other convenient con- modity. It is true that the child is not now over three and & half years old, but this curious misapprehension has been going on for over six months, and promises by its continuance 10 affect his mind quite seriously. The little fellow is as sharp as briar and full of intelligence and wit on all other subjects.

Jogging Ills Memory.
Exchange.

A clergyman in Iowa relates the fol- lowing anecdote, which, as he says, ought to be a hint to all couples who are going to be married. A lady called upon him and announced her name as Mrs. M, a widow, living in 6 dis tant part of the state. Her husband had been killed in the civil war, and she had applied for pension. But it was necessary to prove her marriage. This she had not been able to do, as her marriage certificate was lost, and all the witnesses, except the minister himself, were dead.
 She had come long distance to get the minister's evidence, insisting upon it that he was the person who had performed the ceremony.
 "But 1 do not remember anything about it, madam" said the minister, after listening carefully to the wo- mans story. al have married hun- dreds of people in the last twenty years and l cannot recall your case at all"
 "Why, you must remember that evening. 1 wore travelling suit, and my husband was a tall man with black whiskers"
 al have married a great many tall men with black whiskers."
 But don't you remember, we came in while you were at supper and you asked us to wait in the parlor few minutes?"
 "I don't remember ii :"
 Don't you recall how my husband was very much embarrassed, and dur ing the ceremony knocked vase of the table near which we were stand ing? And then he apologized right in the middle of the service, and we all laughed about 1t afterward"
 "l don't remember even that. Other things like it have happened since. Can't you name something else?"
 Other little things were mentioned, and the clergyman hunted up all his old letters and journals in hopes of discovering something that would re- call the ceremony, and enable him truthfully to identify the widow. But all in vain.
 Finally, the lady, with some hesits- tion and confusion, said "There is one thing that l am sure you cannot have forgotten. My husband had driven over from the next town. In his absent mindedness he had lett every cent of money at home.
 "Now, don't you remember that after the ceremony he came up to you as if to hand you the regular fee, and then, instead of doing that, he stam- mered and blushed, and finally asked you to lend him five dollars with which to pay his hotel bill promising to return it the next day? Surely you must remember thatp p
 "Ah, yes, indeed, remember that very well!" exclaimed the minister. And he could not help adding, al haven't seen the money yet"
 The widow received her pension shortly afterward and not long after that the minister received ten-dollar bill, with the words: "Payment for a good memory"
