A Donation Party.

On Thursday evening the parsonage was invaded by large party of gentle men and ladies bearing parcels of all manner of family supplies as tokens of their appreciation of the labors of Rev, I. T. Whittemore and his amiable wife in behalf of the sinful people of this valley. It was quite a surprise to the parson and the formidable array of generous parcels was indeed an unex- pected display of the liberality of his many friends. During the evening an informal programme of exercises was observed, beginning with an address by H. V. Jackson, Esq, which was fol- lowed by responsive remarks by Rev. Whittemore an instrumental solo by Miss Mamie Cullen; song, "False, but I'll Forgive you," by Miss Gustic Hilderbrant; recitation by Mrs. R. c. Brown; vocal selection by Mrs. G. A. Swan; instrumental duet by Misses Cullen and Parmeter; solo, "Margari- ta, !" by Mrs. E. M. Wratten; recitation, "Chloe's Letter." by Miss Lela Stan field, and vocal solo, "Looking Heavenward," by Mrs. G. A. Swan.
 Among those present were Mes danes l. T. Whittemore, W. R. Kent field, G. A. Swan, R. c. Brown, E. NJ. Wratten, Jos. Lanigan, G. E. Evans, 2. Wallrich and Iutzi; Misses Gene vieve Oury, Nellie, Phoebe and L. McNeil, M. Beasley, Mamie Cullen, Agie Doran, Gustie Hilderbrant, Ella Whittemore, Abbie NJ.

A Valuable and Unique Business ,CaIen.
 der.

The most convenient, valuable, and unique business table or desk cal ender, for 1890, is the Columbia Bicy- cle Calender and stand, issued by the Pope Mfg. Co.,, of Boston, Mass. The Calender proper is in the form of a pad containing 366 leaves, each 54 2&& in; one for each day of the year, to be torn off daily. and one for the entire year. A portion of each leaf is left blank for memoranda, and as the leaves are not pasted but sewed at the end, any entire leaf can be exposed when ever desired. By an ingenious device the leaves tear off independently, leaving no stub. The pad rests upon a portable stand, containing pen rack and pencil holder, and when placed upon desk or writing table the entire surface of the date leaf is brought directly, and left constantly, before the eye, furnishing date and memor- anda impossible to be overlooked. The stand is made of colored wood, mounted with raised letters in brass, and is practically indestructable. The days of the week, the number of the days of the year past and to come are specified, and upon each slip appear quotations pertaining to cycling from leading publications and prominent writers; and although this is the fifth year of the Calender, they are fresh and and new, mentioning the notable events in cycling, opinions of medical authorities, clergyman, and other pro fessional gentlemen the rights of cycl- CTS upon the road, cycling statistics, records, advice about costumes, direc- tions for road making, and other inter esting matter, the whole forming a virtual encyclopedia of cycling. Be- sides the cycling quotations there are Ifany pertaining to typewriting, with occasional reference to the typewriters made by the Pope Mfg. Co.

reminders will ere long vanish while yet no tongue has been able to explain their meaning. Near the summit, on the face of much broken cliff, ap- pears the figures shown in the double cut. Originally, these were united, but crevasses have separated them and broken off portions. An exami- nation of the engravings, which were drawn with great care from the rock, shows faithfully every detail.
 Several years ago an Arizona pioneer, Hon. c. D. Poston undertook to build castle on the site. He had 2 long winding road bed made, cut in .sS solid rock, extendin iip tortueus loops from the base to the very top, but this cost him 50 much that fhe gave up the project, which amounted to nothing more than "a castle in the air" On account of the incident the mountain has since been variously designated as Poston peak, Poston hill, or Castle mountain. Picnic par ties sometimes find the summit a pleasant rendezvous, reached by way of Poston's road. If the old monu- ment could speak, doubtless it would tell weird and fascinating tale.

 He argued and contended that the religious belief of the Pima Indians was similar to that of the Parsees of India, and that they were descendants of the sun worshiping Aztecs, and if he could establish that fact to the satis- faction of some of his Parsee friends in Bombay, they would willingly do- nate an hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of building temple to be dedicated to the fire worshipers of the Gila Indian reservation. He even as- sumed to have discovered evidences in and about the rocky hill that confirm ed his belief that sun-worshipers had formerly observed their peculiar rites upon it's summit. He was perfectly infatuated with his scheme and could talk of little else.
 On the night of July 4th, 1878, Col. Poston gave a grand picnic to his friends, and there were plenty of them, at the summit. There were great many of the people of Florence, ac- companied by several ladies, and
