FROM THE FOOT OF NICnoLsoN's HILL

FROM THE FOOT OF NICnoLsoN's HILL
 A large section of old Marblehead has been destroyed, and when it is rebuilt doubtless 1t will contrast strangely with the rest of the place, which is as it was couple of centuries ago. It will be as if a Boston swell of today stood beside little old gentleman ill three cornered hat, a snuff colored coat and knee brooches; and doubtless the old fashioned portion will look up at the higher, more modern part as the shriveled colonist would survey the young Bostonian from the corner of his eye.
 The illustrations give different views in the burnt district, from which was swept a million dollars worth of prop erty. The black ruins are all that re- main of buildings, some of which saw a different people about them in their youth. Some were completely destroyed, while a portion of the walls of others, and here and there 0 chimney, still stand.

RUINS OF CENTRAL ENGINE HOUSE.

RUINS OF CENTRAL ENGINE HOUSE.
 dences in America, in one of which last summer abode Lord Sackville, British minister to the United States. South of Beverly is Salem, perhaps the best known of the three neighboring towns-the home of Hawthorne. There is the custom house where Hawthorne walked through the hall from the front to the side door, wearing the floor and dreaming out the story of the "Scarlet Letter" There they show house with "seven gables" where he located his story of that name; and there Is the witch house, now built about by other dwellings, where some people were once tried for witchcraft.
 It is but few miles from Salem to Marblehead, a place directly on the coast, or rather on the little bay or inlet where in summer are anchored number of beautiful yachts, for on the point op- posite the town, across the bay, is the club house of the Eastern Yacht club. The road circles around horse shoe fashion from Marblehead to the peninsula, with the bay on one side and the ocean on the other, and at one point the strip of land is so narrow as only to afford room for the roadway. Driving around this road one gets @ good view to the left of the town or that part of it fronting on the bay, the yachts riding at anchor, and on the other hand, the ocean. The peninsula is covered with cottages containing sum- mer residents, and the point being on high ground one can take In the whole view at once. It Is hard to find more beautiful coast scenery in America. The rocks at one's feet, against which the sluggish waves continually surge; the blue ocean, on whose bosom some trim yacht is steaming or sailing to or from the bay; the mellow coast line, are all visible and form picture under the in- tluence of which the cottagers while away many a dreamy hour in summer.

IF the rains continue to favor this portion oi Arizona so frequently in the future as they have during the past few months, water-storage reser- voirs will be superhuous. So far the present season the crops have grown practically without artificial irrigation and all the sources of water supply are filled with water sufficient to last until the summer rains fall. A few years of this kind of weather would make southern Arizona wilderness of rank verdure

TIE legislature of New Mexico hay ing failed to provide an adequate school law, Governor Ross exhorts the people to appeal to Congress to pro- vide a non-sectarian school law for that territory. In respect to popular educational facilities the contrast be- tween Arizona and New Mexico is striking. Our schools are the pride of our people and they are maintained upon a high standard of excellence fully equal to that of the most advanc- ed communities of the eastern states Our common and graded school sys- tenn is supplemented with an excellent Normal School and the University of Arizona will shortly be ready to re- ceive pupils. While New Mexico is groping in darkness Arizona is adyanc- ing to the front rank in educational matters.

THE suit of the United States against the Silver King Mining Com pany for cutting wood on government land, was concluded in the United States Court in Phenix this week and resulted in favor of the defendants. These farcical suits are growing monot- onous and they are species of perse- cution that have every appearance of being the alternative of attempts to blackmail. Out of the dozens of cases of this kind tried in the federal courts of Arizona, not one has been decided in favor of the government.

The poor things need their sympathy and, if they had the opportunity, they would make it plainly manifest that they need their scalps also. The Apache Indians highly esteem the disinterest ed kindness of these philanthropists, and their gratitude is as fully display ed as that of rattlesnake. That these Indians sicken and die within the prison walls it but another proof that they are a species of the great human family. White convicts some times end their days in like manner and no tear of sympathy is accorded them, while the distress of these fiends touches the hearts of the sickly senti- mentalists who would return them to their old haunts of crime to recupe- rate upon the carnage they love to revel in among the frontier settlers. If their counsels prevail and it be deemed policy to remove these red handed murderers and torturers of hardy men, defenceless women and innocent children let them be quarter cd amongst their admiring champions in the east and enjoy their hospitali- ties and scalps for . brief season.

Exemptions are made in the case of drug stores, hotels, rest- aurants, barber, shops, bath houses, markets, livery stables, bakeries, etc. The governor had not received the bill up to last accounts.

Col. LEWIS WOLFLEY, of Tucson, has
 been appointed Governor of Arizona
 by president Harrison, and out of the whole list of candidates for that posi- ton no other person could have been selected that would meet with such determined opposition in the territory. Protests against his confirmation have been telegraphed to Washington and charges of more or less damaging character have been preferred against him, but in spite Of all this there Is hardly a doubt that the nomination will be confirmed. Wilh the merits of the opposition to Col. Wolaey we are not conversant, although we can not but believe that they are largely of a personal nature. Mir. Wolhey is gentleman of strong Individuality and determination of character and in his business and political inter course with the people the friction of these striking characteristics have aroused antagonisms that a more polite person would not have incur red. No one can question his ability and, although he will enter upon his official duties with the i'll will of many of his own partisans, we have every reason to believe he will perform his executive duties to the satisfaction of all people who hold the interests oi the territory above petty jealousies and personal dishles We counsel that he should be received with be coming grace by the people of Ari- zona and that every reasonable cour- tesy be extended him in the hope that a better and more intimate acquaint- ance may dissipate all lingering doubts of the wisdom of his selection

never took the drink, for when it was
brought from the saloon below his

hundred letters from republican men,
bers of Congress asking when terms
of various officers i'll the service of
the department would expire. He re-
ceived so many such inquiries that he
was moved after time to ask what
it all meant. When he asked the
senders of the letters, they informed
him that they had made up their
minds to let the democratic officials.
who are competent and satisfactory
serve out their terms before recon-
mending the appointment of their
successors. Some of these Congress
men said that Mr.. Cleveland had
treated them fairly and they were
willing to reciprocate. There is an
other reason, if there was a clean
sweep in the first few months of Mr..
Harrison's administration it would re-
suit In a perfect food of petitions and
delegations, and it would require
more than human wisdom to decide
each case properly. BY letting the
cases come along as their term expire
the members hope to decide each one
with deliberation and with justice.
They may not be so patient after the
first lot is disposed of, however, and
the heads of those democrats who
have two or more years to serve may
come off in hurry.
