years. Years ago a notice was
 given all civilians on the reservation
 to leave, but no attention was paid
 to the command. Several weeks ago a more peremptory notice was served, giving the settlers until Aug ust 18th to leave or be evicted by force. The order has been needed, and the reservation is now, no doubt, clear, though several farmers had considerable patches of corn, pumpkins, etc, and not a few fruit trees.-Republ1can.

Dovelopement of the Boy.

At ten years of age q boy thinks his father knows a great deal; at fifteen he knows twice as much; at thirty he is willing to take his advice; at forty he begins to think his father knows something, after all; at fifty he begins to seek his advice, end at sixty-after his father is dead-he thinks he was the smartest man that ever lived. - Atchison Globe.

The Maricopas and Pimas.

The marriage laws of the Pimas
 or Maricopans are very simple, con.
 sisting merely in the making of the
 match by the old folks, and an
 agreement as to the amount of prop.
 erty each shall bring into the new
 partnership. The marriages usually
 occur when the buck is sixteen years
 of age, and the sqHaw thirteen or
 fourteen. They never seem to have
 any family rows and rear their brood
 of young ones carefully until old enough to marry. Polygamy is al lowed, but rarely practiced.
 When death occurs amoung the Pimas, a broad whole is dug about four feet deep. At the bottom, on one side, an alcove is hollowed out. In this the body Is laid, shortly after death. By the head are placed an earthen vessel full of water and a piece of corn cake, to feed the de- ceased on his way to the relms of the dead, The alcove is then neatly roofed over with light poles, making almost a coffin. The dirt is then thrown back into the hole and rocks placed upon the grave to keep the coyotes out.
 The Maricopas burn their dead When it becomes apparent that person is about to die, number of old men start in to build his funeral pyre. It is usually in the form of a cube, six feet in diameter, and made of logs of dry mesquite, which makes flame of great intensity. Upon the top of this is fashioned' in the same material, a sort of con cave bier, in which the body is laid almost as soon as the breath is gone The pyre is touched of by a relat- ative, and, amid the bowling and yroaning of as many of the tribe as can be present, the body Is consum-, ed and miagles with its original dust. During the process of the lncineratlon much of the personal of the deceased is thrown upon the flames, and his ponies are brought forward and strangled. The horse meat is divided among those present and a season of feas- ting and revelry follows the sorrow of the cremation.-Ariz6na Rep uGlican.

CTS employed Mir. D. Mitchell, ar
 experienced quarryman from Scot
 land, to take charge of the work
 and since then stone has been taker
 out systematically and in large
 quantities. The quarries are now
 fitted up with two steam derricks,
 each capable of lifting block of 30
 tons weight. Switches from the
 Atlantic & Pacific railroad run into
 the quarries, and the stone i' lifted
 directly on to the cars as soon as It
 is cut out. It is easily worked, and
 immense blocks are taken out which
 have to be cut into many pieces
 before it can be loaded on the cars.
 I saw big block yesterday that
 was thirty-six feet long, sixteen feet wide and twelve feet deep, Reck- oning twelve cubi; feet to the ton, the usual basis of computation, and this block would weigh 736 tons, enough to load thirty-six cars. MT. Mitchell informed me that he has taken out blocks much lager than this. At present there are about fifty men employed in the quarry and the output is four cars a day. The front of some of the finest build ings in Denver, Omaha and Kansas City are constructed of this stone. Los Angeles and San Francisco are also calling for large quantities of it, the new City Hall and Court House in the former city being constructed of it.
 Besides these industries, Flagstaff is the center of one of the largest sheep raising sections in the South west. Daggs Bros, & Co. are the largest owners, their herds aggregat- ing nearly 50,OOO head.
 The people of Flagstaff and of all the eastern part of Yavapai county are very anxious for the formation of new county, to be known as Coconino county. They argue, with good reason, that Yavapai county is too large, and should be divided. It contains nearly 10000 square miles, being almost as large as the State of Indiana. Besides this, the expense and time and trouble of getting to the county seat is a great annoyance to the people of this section. To reach Prescott requires a railroad journey of l50 miles. The region adjacent to the county seat is so cut off from Flagstaff and the neighbor- ing country that the two sections have but little in common, and those in the east think they should be allowed to set up county for themselves. The matter will be . again vigorously urged before the next Legislature. E. s, G.

Holding his Cotton for *5 Cents.
1Greenville News.

Twenty years ago farmer ofPickens
County made two bales Of cotton OF his
farm. He brought one Of them to this
city and sold it for 20 cents p'oud.
He thought that his other bale was
worth o5 cents i pound, and declared
that he would never sell it until he got
that price. The price Of cotton grad
ually went down, but the farmer has
stuck to his declaration and the bail
has remained from year to year in his
cotton house. He yet declares he Will
have that price for it or allow his rela-
tives to sell it at his death. All the
cotton that the farmer has since made
he has sold at the prevailing prices, but
can not be induced to sell the one he
put away 20 years ago. A merchant OF
this city who knows the facts vouches
for this peculiar story.

Horticultural Interests in Congress.
from the Irish World. J

The surprising development Of infu-
Snce in the next Congress, which has
Aesn secured by the Farmers Alliance
sxn recent elections, will be likely to
bring forward with greater force than
EVER the issues Of currency and trans
,ortation which attracted 50 much
rt.s.nblic interest ten and twelve years
sssoo, The right Of the government to
ksue the circulating medium Of the
country without the intervention Of
the banks, and to regulate its volume
according to the needs of the people
rather than of the money-lenders, has
Sheen passed upon and vindicated by
the highest court of the nation, and
#the Farmers Alliance will not be with
out formidable support amongst the
s labor organizations in demand under
. practical limitations for an increase Of
the national currency based upon Sc
curity other than the gold and silver
so tenaciously insisted upon by the
banking interests. The rapid payment
of the national debt, represented by
the bonds which form the basis of the
National Bank currency, has resulted
in reducing the volume Of that med
um, and the urgent needs of business
have made necessary the issuance O.
gold and silver certificates, the eQuiva-
lent for which in coin is deposited and
stored in the Treasury vaults. \ wide
spread feeling prevails among the
farmers Of the West and South that
such basis is necessarily insufficient
for the needs of the whole country with
its rapidly-increasing population and
\ volume of business and its extent OF
territory nearly equal to the whole OF
Europe. Hence is the call for free and
unlimited coinage Of silver, the aglta-
ton for Government warehouses and
loans on merchandise, National con-
troll of railroads, ETC., which reflect the
widespread feeling of disaftection and
distrust and fear of the Eastern money
centres which prevail! so widely
amongst the farmers and workers OF
the West and South.
-. It will be interesting to note the att
tude of the SD Congress on those issues.
They are questions which cannot be
brushed aside as not entitled to serious
discussion. They affect so directly the
prosperity and financial security OF the
whole country that their solution can
not be safely entrusted to amateurs or
enthusiasts, but call for the soundest
craftsmanship and patriotism.
