Lado the Nile flows through the
northern end of the Albert Nyanza.
About twenty-five miles above the
Albert Lake are the Murchison
Falls. Below the lake, for more
than one hundred miles, the stream
is broad and placid, traversing a
comparatively level country and
always navigable for vessels draw
ing four or five feet. In this part
of its course, about forty miles below
the Albert Lake, it passes Wadelai,

The Strawberry CuaVa.

A correspondent of the Los An
geles Herald gives the following val,
liable information concerning the
guava, which fourishes in all the
Gulf Southern States and is sure to
to do equally as well here:
One of the most beautiful and pro-
ductive evergreen shrubs that grow
only in our semi-tropical climate, is
the strawberry guava. Everybody
admires its rich foliage and white
flowers; we all like the juicy tartness
of the brown berries, and of jellies
none can compare with that made
from guavas. The fruit ripens in
September, October and November.
The plants ere raised from the seed,
and bear fruit the first year. The

THE Harqua Hala mines are
located in Yuma county, twelve
miles West from the boundary line
between Maricopa and Yuma
counties. For some time the
Phoenix papers have claimed these
mines as being situated in the
''Salt River county," but the official
survey has settled the question for
evermore.

PHOENIX, A. T. Oct. 18th, '89.
To the Editor of the Porcupine: l
am located here for the present with
my family. We left Los Angeles
about ten days ago for visit to this
Land of Eternal Sunshine, thinking
that change of climate would be
beneficial to our health. Phoenix,
now the capital of the Territory, has a
population of 1000 souls, a little
more or less; is well laid out with
wide streets, crossings at right angles
and running due north, south, east
and west; quite number of fine three
story brick blocks, well built and of
modern architecture; residences princi-
pally made of brick, and very hand
some and homelike.
The old adobe is fast melting away
before the march of civilization and
American Architecture; vacant dwell
ings are very scarce, and rents are
high.
The water system is owned, as am
informed, by company who are not
here exclusively for health if l shall
Judge from the price of water, but the
novelty of the system is worth some
thing, for the reservoir stands on end,
and looks like a great shot tower; it is
said to be 100 feet high. suppose
the great hight is necessary to save
evaporation or boiling over in the
summer.
Phoenix is quite pretty place with
plenty of shade trees. The Texas
umbrella tree grows here to perfection,
but there is a great scarcity of flowers
and lawns.
The City Fathers have correct ap
probation of the education of the
young. There are now in procrss of
erection in each side of the city, large
and commodious school buildings,
built of brick and credit to this or
any other city.
The new Capitol building is not yet
built, and in most cases of the kind,
there is great deal of self interest in
the point of location, which if not
amicably settled before the meeting Of
the next Legislature, the plan may
slip from the city's grasp.
The county has commodious and
well built court house, situate in the
center of large square covered with
ornamental trees, oleanders and water
melon vines.
There are three miles of street cal
lines in operation, propelled by mule
power.
Phoenix is connected with the s. P
r. R. by a branch line to Maricops
station. Whether the branch rail
road is curse or a blessing to the
city is problem not yet solved
When Californian arrives at Mari
copa at 8 o'clock p. NJ, and finds that
he must remain there over night and
sleep on the s. P. R. R. Company'i
right of way and cover with the
heavens, it is then that the pure and
health giving atmosphere of the great
desert becomes sulphurous, which
smells to the moon. II.

memory

PROBABLY one of the most laughable
things ever known in California has
been the effort to create bug-a-boo
about the new charter. When this
measure challenged attention and criti-
cism last Fall people who thought it was
a device neither expedient nor wise, both
parties opposed it and voted against it.
Since then nobody has given the matter
much attention: and the gentlemen who
opposed it are the firmest friends it has
developed in this section. A number OF
Sacramento papers have suggested that
Sidney Lacey was in Sacramento to de-
feat the new charter. AS matter OF
fact, Sidney has other details which are
far more interesting to him than the
charter, ard he tells the HERALD that if
he is satisfied that the new charter is
constitutional he will support it. Or
dinarily a paper both malignant and
sceptical would support Laeey's affirma-
ton; but the Times seems to be a sheet
which respects neither the operations of
God nor the clear-cut grit of man and
beast

DAMAGING TESTIMONY.
An InfOrmer Tries to Connect
League Leaders with COnvicts.


LONDON, January 22.-Before the Par
nell Commission to-day, man named
Farragher deposed that Archbishop
Walsh, in Davitt's presence, advised him
not to pay rent. He (Farragher) was
evicted. He was afterwards employed in
the Offices OF the Dublin branch league,
and carried letters, some of which con-
tanned checks, from Patrick Egan to Null
lett, the Invincible.
Farragher further testified that Arthur
O'Connor, Member of Parliament for
east Donegal, held an important post in
the League, and Davitt, Sexton and Har-
rington were members of the executive.
Nally used to visit the League rooms.
Sir Charles protested against the in
PRODUCTION of this evidence. He stated
that Nally was undergoing sentence, and
that he objected to any inquiry being
made into the circumstances of Nally's
crime in order to damage members of the
Commons, who, it was alleged, were as
sociated with him. The members of the
court decided that the evidence was ad-
missible. Sir Charles Russell, in reply
to question by Justice Hannen, said
that the Nally under discussion was not
"Scrab" Nally. He was another Nally
whom Parnell thanked for his services
to the League.
Sir Henry James, counsel for the
Times, produced report of a speech
made by Parnell at the League Conven-
tion at Castlebar, in which Parnell
strongly commented Nally for rendering
great and important services to the
League when first formed.

The Ad mission of Utah.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-Judge Will
son, of this city concluded his argument
to-day in behalf of the admission of Utah
Territory as State of the Union before
the House Committee on Territories. He
argued that when territory had popu.
laton sufficient to entitle it to represen-
tative in Congress with other conditions
INCIDENT to a fixed population, there was
a moral obligation resting on the Govern
ment to admit that Territory as State.
He declared that not two per cent of the
present adult Mormon male population
of the Territory ever practiced polygamy
He argued that the tenets of the Mormon
church required people to obey
the laws of the State. That
was one of the fundamental tenets of
the church. He maintained that Con-
gress had full power to make such a
compact with the proposed State as
would secure the suppression of poly
gamy. If the State broke the contract,
Congress would have power to enforce
the terms or relegate the State back into
a territorial condition and secure control.
At the conclusion of his address, Dele
gate Smith, of Arizona, addressed the
committee in favor of admission.

A TERMAGANr ON TRIAL.
She Sought Her Ausband,s Death
and Called II Inn SpoOpendyke.


CHICAGO, January 22.-Some sensa.
tional testimony was introduced to-day
during the trial of Mrs. Rawson for the
shooting of her husbands attorney in
the courtroom last summer. 1t was in
the nature of reading of the evidence on
which the grant jury indicted Mrs. Raw
son and included the story of former
detective named Hogan, who, at one
time, was in Mrs. Rawson's employ, and
who asserted that he left her because she
wanted him to put banker Rawson out OF
the way by putting poison in a
bottle of gin from which the banker
used to drink at night. Hogan asserts
that Mrs. Rawson told him, if he would
not kill Rawson, she would send for Lee,
her former husband and the father of
Ralph Lee, who shot Banker Rawson
down in front of the church, to do the
deed. Testimony was also introduced
to show that Mr.. Rawson was a woman
of exceedingly violent temper, ad.
dicted to the use of liquor and
profane language. A Mrs. Hamilton,
who lived with Mrs. Rawson before she
married the banker, said the defendant
swore terribly because Rawson did not
pay her son Ralph, who was at the time
a clerk in the bank, larger salary.
"She said, ;" the Hamilton woman testi-
fed, ''that she would get even with the
old 'spoopendyke.' She would marry
him, make his money fly and then get
rid of him."

of the opinion that the true remedy will
be found in the abolishment of the office
of roadmaster, and the replacing of the
present system by one of public bidding
for the care of the roads, similar to the
system of street grading and repairing
which prevails in the city. There is
certainly sufficient merit in the sugges-
ton to demand for it careful hearing.
1t would then be known exactly what
was done with every dollar Of the road
funds. AS it is now, the funds of some
districts are mostly consumed in defray-
ing the roadmaster's expenses. Here is
the modus operondi: A roadmaster in
some district thinks a road needs re-
pairs. He comes before the Board of
Supervisors and lays the matter before
them. He draws So for his days work
and 50 for horse hire. The Board has
not time that day to attend TO it, and he
is ordered to appear next WEEKS more.
He is then told to figure out carefully the
cost and report next month-$5 again.
If luck is on the peoples side he is told
to go on with the work; but before he
gets it we'll underway he finds there is
something more needed, 80 he visits the
Board once more at an expense OF So.
So the thing goes on until some day the
clerk reports that the roadmaster' s
warrants have exhausted that road fund
and the work is ordered stopped. II
does seem to the average inexperienced
tax-payer-inex perienced in road-mak'
ing, not in tax-paying-that $lOO, ,O0C
ought to make great deal of roads in this
country, and then keep them in order
and then, sprinkle them. Wells might
be sunk along the roads for the purpose
of sprinkling. With windmill and pump
these would not cost over five hundred
dollars each. One each mile from the
city to Santa Monica, fourteen in all
would cost about $1,000. If trees were
planted along the road they could be
watered from these wells. Think o.
what delightful thing fine road four
teen miles long, with beautiful shade
trees and well sprinkled would be to the
citizens of this section The present laws
require some amendments. The subject
is commended to the attention of the
Los Angeles delegation at Sacramento
And the Supervisor who will sig
nalize his incumbency OF the Office by
giving the people good roads, orna
mented with trees and sprinkled, will sc
endear himself to the public heart that
nothing less than an equestrian statue
will be considered sufficient honor to his
memory

The World Against Her, by Frank Her
duced last night at the Grand Opera
House before large audience, and
proved to be one OF the strongest melo-
dramas on the stage to-day. The inter-
est is artistically worked up from the
beginning and we'll sustained throughout.
the curtain finally falling on scene that
is so effective that the audience-a rather
rare thing for this city-with one accord
delayed its exit, although it was IL 80
O'Clock, to applaud, while the leading
characters bowed their acknowledgements
before the curtain. To say that every
body was delighted, would be but a
meagre expression of the truth. They
were held spellbound through the most
interesting scenes, and we're wrought up
to pitch OF rare enthusiasm. All this
was due to the workmanship of the
author alone. There is really not weak
character in the play. "Madge Carlton"
a wrongly suspected and cruelty divorced
wife, completely captures the hearts of
the audience. The part of "James Carl
ton," the injured but forgiving husband,
and the part of colbert Blair" the &C.
complished villain who gives the key to
The whole drama, are also we'll drawn
characters. "Bob Millet," a Snowman,
is an excellent comedy character, and
the part of "Sally," his wife, is admir-.
able. Those who have seen the play
will indorse the opinion we have ex-
pressed as to the merit of The World
Against Her.

LAST winter movement was set afoot
in the Episcopal Church to secure a
division of the diocese of California.
This State was erected into diocese Of
that Church in 1858, and a Bishop was
sent out the same year. Since that
time the portion of the State lying north
of the Sacramento river was cut off from
the parent See, and Bishop was ap-
pointed to preside over it. There was,
therefore, nothing radical in the effort to
cut off the southern counties and give
them a presiding officer of their own,
with headquarters in Los Angeles. In
deed, if we do not err, when the Con-
vention of the Church met in San
Francisco last year the Bishop gave
his consent, and the Convention
voted for division of the diocese. Fur
thermore the Convention requested the
Bishop to call the next meeting, that OF
May, 1889, in Los Angeles, in order that
the preliminary steps for such division
might be made here on the spot. The
matter was looked upon by the members
of the denomination in question as prac-
tically settled. But now comes note OF
wars alarms from the North. 1t seems
that the jealousy of Southern California
in the North is not confined to CONNER
cial circles. 1t pulsates in the heart oi
the Church as in that of the world. Judge
Stanly is Bishop Kip's mos
trusted adviser. At gathering
of the members of the Episco
pal Church, clerical and lay, il
Oakland few days ago he very stoutly
opposed, ci ct armis, if one may &c
speak of the doings of religious body
the idea of dividing the diocese. He
is reported in the Alta of the 10th instant
as "urging the laity of the North to cir
culate protest against holding the CON
vention in Los Angeles, on the ground
that it would be impossible to get the
church members from the North to at
tend the meeting in go remote a place
and that the question of diocesan divi
sion could not safely be left to the
members living in the South" This is
but part of the old fight Of the Bay City
and Bay counties against Los Angeles
1t would be immeasurably to the advan.
tage of the Episcopal Church to have
Bishop in this city. 1t is popularity sup
posed that the churches rise above mere
earthly considerations, and thatthe mem
bers are moved by high and noble i'm
pulses. 1t looks as if the jealousy OF the
Bay counties towards the South were SO
strong as to invade even the sacred pre-
cincts of the sanctuary, and to control
hearts supposed to be consecrated to e1-
alted purposes. This old fight in SO
novel a shape will be watched with
interest by the people ofsthis section; and
while the action taken will be altogether
in the hands of the members of the
Episcopal Church, yet the whole COM
munity will take no little interest in the
outcome. We shall see whether Judge
Stanly or the clergy and lay members Of
the denomination in the South WELD the
controlling influence over the whole body
