How They Danced.

Mir. Cornelius Vanderbilt always dances in pumps of the finest and thinest leather. MT. Chauncey De- pew does not make unusual prepar- ation as far as shoe-leather is con- cerned when he is to dance. He wears the same style of shoe that he does in his office at the Grand Central Station. The soles are stout and so is the leather, but pr. Depew gets there just the same, and and very effectively, too. One of his admirers at the McAllister ball said he would have given a farm if q bevy the assssT girls s5ti d.! - have seen him in the Sir Roger de Coverly or the Virginia reel the other night. Dr. Depew's wide and brilliant fame rather awed the Vas sar girls when he made a speech to them a month or so ago. At the ball they would have observed that he was like schoolboy, with this difference, that while he was as nat ural as one of the shiny-faced lads and his quick perception saw hun dreds of incidents of humor, he was at the same time as decorous as an amdassador.-New::Y ork Sun.

The Great Canal.

New York, Jan. S-The steam
 ship Hondo, of the Honduras and
 Central America line from Grey
 town, brings the latest news from the American canal diggers.
 The Nicaragua canal people, it appears, realizing the great magni- tude of their enterprise, are pro- ceeding very quietly and in a con servative manney. Contracts and sub-contracts with detailed specif- cations are being very carefully and thoroughly prepared. The re- cent change of the location of the Atlantic terminus of the canal has solved the problem of Greytown harbor, which will be made one of the best harbors on the coast, and the breakwater for it's protection has al- ready been commenced. It looks now as if the entire work will pro- bably be divided into three divi- sions, The contract for the Pacific division, it is understood, will go to a strong California syndicate. The health of the entire American par ty is satisfactory, and everything that can possibly be done to push the work is done in steady and thorough manner.

She Get The Drop.

J. c. White and G. W. Elder, both well-knoWn business men, spent Thanksgiving hunting for an eagles nest in the Buttes. They found it on top of the highest peak and three little eaglets were com fortably domiciled therein. The mother bird was absent. Elder took one of the little birds, and be- gan the descent of the mountain. Ere they had traversed 200 yards the old bird returned and assailed them. White carried both of the eaglets, while Elder tried to keep off the mother by throwing rocks at her.
 The scheme worked we'll for a while, until the later, instead of sweeping down at them, began
 icking up rocks, weighing from five to fifteen pounds, and letting them drop at them from an eleva- tion of fifty to seventy-five feet, when the daring sportsmen con- cluded 'twere better to quit, and dropped the eaglets and fled from the scene. Gridley (Cal.) Her aid.

History.

Twenty-six years ago, Dec. 2s
 1863 the first territorial Governmen
 of Arizona organized and enteret
 upon the discharge of it's duties a
 Navajo Springs in the northeastern
 cornor of the Territory, in what i lnow Apache county. The capita
 was subsequently, located at For
 Whipple by proclamation of the
 Governor, and the territorial of
 ficers took up their quarters al
 that place. They were: Governor
 John N. Goodwin, of Maine; Secre
 tary Richard c. Mccormick, of New
 York ; Chief Justice Vim. F. Fur
 her, of Iowa; Associate Justices
 Wm. T. Howell: of Michigan. and
 Joseph P. Allyn, of Connecticut ;
 District Attorney Amor Gage, of
 New York Surveyor General Levi
 Bashford, of Wisconsin; Marshal Milton P. Duffleld, of California :; Superintendent of Indian affairs Chas. D. Poston, of Kentucky. The act establishing the Territory had been passed by Congress and was approved by President Lincoln February 24, 1863. The first move ment looking toward the establish ment of the territory was the intro duction of memorial to Congress asking for the ncw Territory, in the Legislature of New Mexico, Decem- Der 21, 1854, by the representative from Dona Ana county, N. NJ, which then comprised what is now Arizo- na. The first session of the Legis- lature of Arizona began October 4, 1864, and at that session the terri tory was constructed into counties viz: Yavapai, Mohave, Yuma and Pima; in 1871 Maricopa county was constructed out of Yavapai, and since that time Pinal, Apache, Gila, Graham and Cochise counties have been constructed in the order named. The census of 1870 show ed the territory te have a popula- ton of 9,65S exclusive of Indians, and the census of 1880 gave a pop ulation something over four times as large or about 40,440. If Arizo- na has done as we'll toward secur- ing population from 1880 to 1890 he census of next year should give us population of about 160,- poo, and there is much reason for he opinion that the coming census will run our numbers pretty we'll up toward that figure. A careful esti- nate by the ex-Commissioner of Immigration, Hon. T. k. Parish, places, our present population at -05,000; it probably exceeds that igure somewhat. The city of Ph@- fix was laid out in 1870 by Capt. ". A. Hancock, who continues te eside among us; it is, therefore, lbout nineteen years old and now contains population of upwards ,f 1000 inhabitants, street rail- oads, water works, electric lights 5as works, an elegant city hall, now lsed as the capitol of the territory, nd has number of the most ele- ,ant two and three story brick to be found in any city. The city of Phoenix alone contains $ large population as the whole erritory did twenty-six years ago fhen Gov. Goodwin and Secretary IcCormick organized our territo- ial government.-Ph9nix Herald.

 such laws as shall nullify and for

 national inspection law which shall
 require the local inspection of all
 cattle slaughtered for American
 consumption, the inspection to be

 Another law desired is one per mitting the States to pass such lssys as they desire covering the To- c.a inspection of live stock design ed for food. The Kansas City Stock Yards were vigorously condemned for their outrageous treatment of Kansds live stock interests, and resolution was adopted asking the Legislature of Kansas to provide by law for the regulation of Kan sas City Stock Yard charges in proportion to the prices obtained for stock sold.

THERESA'S ROMANCE.


Sensation Created by-n st. Louis Wom m 8
Application for "a Change OF Name.
A very extraordinary case has been sprung
upon the public by the filing of an applica-
ton for a change of name by Miss" The
resa Blennerhassett, member OF the we'll
known family of that name, says ST. Louis
dispatch to the New York Herald.
The petitioner is the daughter of Richard
S. BlennerhasSett, son Of john Louis Blen-
nerhassett, youngest son of the Blennerhas-
sett of tue Burr conspiracy fame.
She states in her petition that on October
10, 1871, she was married to john Calvin
Adams of Odin, H.. and lived with him UNI
til November 1871, but that at the instance
of her family she kept her marriage Sc
cret. Her husband was killed on the latter
date, and still at the solicitation of her fam
lily she continued to be known as Miss The
resa BleDnerhassett. In August, 1872 she
gave birth to a female child, who was al
ways known as Mary Blennerhassett.
The petitioner says she has acquired prop
erty since her husbands death, the title to
which is being investigated in her maiden
name of Theresa BlennerhasSett. Where
| fore she pIays TIE court to establish her
legal name as Theresa BlennerhaSsett
| Adams.
The story back of this petition Is rather
| romantic. Theresa Blennerhassett, in spite
of the bitter opposition Of her relatives,
| clandestinely married Adams, who was u
| traveller Tor d. LOUIS business mousse i O.
| gether they went on a flying trip to the
East. She returned to her home on &C
| count of the sudden illness of her mother
| and arranged with her husband to follow
| her in three weeks. He started to do SO,
but was killed on his way in a railroad ac-
| cident.
The world was in ignorance of her clan
| destlne marriage, and was left so even after
| the birth of the child. This event was also
! kept secret, and Theresa Bennerhassett in
| due time announced that she Lad adopted Il
! little girl. Her child has grown up in igno-
rance of her true relation to her foster
| mother" and is now a beautiful girl of IS.
The present proceeding, which lays bare
the secret, is brought as much to protect the
girl and to insure her unclouded title as be-
cause of the mothers desire TO have her le-
gal status defined. Theresa Blennerhassett
is now about 80 years old. and had always
been looked upon as an old maid.

REV. DIR. BARR0WS.



The friends of the Rev. DR.. Charles
Dana Barrows are jubilant over the
prospect of his early return to his
charge in the First Congregational
Church. Last week at the regular meeting
of the church, letter was read from Rev.
DR.. Meredith, of Brooklyn, n. Y, declining
to accept, at the present time, the call which
he had been rendered. Since then DR.. Bar
rows has been heard FROM and the reverend
gentleman assures his congregation that he

soon as his own and his wife's health will

The morning paper which stirred up the
recent scandal made PREPARATION in its col
umns yesterday by TetractiBg the serious
charges it had preferred against the pastor.
Its excuse for the wrong it did is that
wealthy New Yorker named Burrows ran
up bill for wines in a certain well-known
restaurant, and failing to pay up his reckon
ing in the lifetime of the host, the account
was included in the assets of the estate, but
through the attorneys error the name in the
schedule returned to the Probate Court was
written 'Barrows." Mr.. Burrows has since
footed his bill, and as the SILLY Billy"
journal admits that DR., Barrows was not in
the city at the time referred to, the ch .,rps

his tremendous losses on Jenny in the
