NA1lVEs os KoHfHEHN CHINA
They Are Slaves to Opium and XIII Their
 Female Children.

Eemale Cn1luren.
 Rev. Athanasino Goette, priest of the Franciscan order, who has been eight years missionary in northern China, next to the Chinese wall and Mongolia, arrived in San Francisco on the steamer City of Peking. AChron- icle reporter saw him at the home of the Franciscan brothers, Golden Gate avenue, and he recounted many inter eSting facts relative to his experiences in the province of Shensl, where he mainly labOred.
 ITO get there" he said, T went by steamer 700 miles from Shanghai to Hankow, up the Yang-tse; then on a Chinese boat for fifty days on th- Han River. Then we took mules an,i ode eighty days over what are called the Southern Mountains, when we finally arrived at SinganfOu, the old imperial city of China This city is the capital of the province and has 500, 900 inhab itants. There we have two churches, a college, and a school of about eighty Chinese boys. We also have an or phan asylum there with about 1,5OC Chinese children. These children we have picked up from the graveyards, where they were thrown to die They are all girls Lately, since the Chinese know we take care of them, when fe- Hale children are born they are brought to our doorsteps and left there
 Bishop Pagnucci, of the province, which Is as large as France, lives al Koolen, thirty miles from Singanfou. There Is a seminary there. The bishop has been there twentv-six years. Neither he nor ever had any trouble with the natives. Sometimes we have to look out little for the Chinese stu dents, that is all. The Chinese of the north are much finer class of people than those of the south. There are now about 30,OOO Christians in the province. Not far from the Chinese wall Is a massive monument, erected in the Seventh century A. D. On il is inscribed the whole history of the creation and the story of Christ. A good deal of the inscription yet re- mains. Six hundred and twenty years after Christ there were missionaries where have been laboring."
 Father Goette says the production and use of opium in Shensi are hay ing an extremely demoralizing effect on the people. The emperor has for oidden the production of opium, but the mandarins permit it for she reason that they have secretly laid a tax on t and are growing rich from it. Father Goette says he has seen as much as forty acres of opium in one field. Three-fifths of the people are absolute slaves to the drug.

The Preventure of a Terrible
 Disease.

No disorders, excepting the most dead ly forms of lung diseases, involve such tremendous destruction of organic tissue as those which fasten upon the kidneys. Such maladies, when they become chronic and none are so liable to assume that phase wreck the system.
 To prevent this terrible disease, re- course should be had, upon the first manifestation of trouble, to Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, which expe- rience has proved to be highly effective asssa means of imparting tone and regu- ,arity to the organs of urination, as we'll as to the liver, stomach and bowels Another beneficial result of this medi- cine, naturally consequent upon it's diuretic action, is the elimination from the blood of impurities which begit rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, dropsy, and other maladies. By increasing the activity of the kidneys, it augments the depurative efficiency of these organs, which are most important outlets for the escape of such impurities.

ARIZONA RArSIES.

Extensive paintings of the raisiu grape have been made in the Salt River Valley, Arizona. The Riverside Press states that the secretary of large raisin com company at Phenix, Ariz., has sent there a specimen box of raisins for examina- tion and criticism. The Press says:
 It is known that probably a thousand acres have been planted to raisin grape lu that neighboIhood during the past winter, but the confidence in the success ef ralsin growing there, which this inves- ment indicates, does not seem justified by the specimens before us. They are small in size, thick of skin, the seed large and hard, while the pulp has a date-llke taste and consistency. They are not equal to the common Nalencias, and can hardly be rated better than dried gr"res. It Is not to be expected that the finest grapes are to be grown on young vIaes, but if these speci- mems fairly represent the Arizona raisin we think It Is clearly demonstrated that the climate IS too hot in the dry ing season to make a tirst-class raisin. The extensive planting of vines which grow even so inferior raisin Is likely to have an important influence on the market, and will tend to hold down the prices of even choice goods when a con- siderable quantity shall be produced. We doubt, however, whether the ex tremely warm climate of Arizona, while furnishing just the condition requisite to give the sweetness desired, will not be bar to the successful curing of a per feet ralsen. A temperature of over loo degrees will not give the time necessary ln drying, which allows the grapes to go through the stages necessary to make it perfect. Some choice fruit was injured from this course even in Fresno last season, and it appears probable that this will be the insuperable difficulty with which the Arizona grower will be met.
 It Is possible that the Salt River country may have too hot climate for the successful curing of first class raisins, although that has yet to be proved, but there is no doubt that they have a good horticultural country down there, and can raise some fruits-such as figs, for example to perfection. The climate in Southern Arizona is more like that of Syria than Valenc.a.

CHA COUNTY appears to be particu- larly unfortunate in her sheriffs, two of them having died violent deaths within the past year. One having met death at the hands of the Apaches, the other drowned in Q gallant but unsuccessful attempt to save a young lady from a like fate. The accident of yesterday, by which Sheriff Ryan and Miss Frush met their deaths in the at the Wheat Fields Is deeply to be regretted, It will cast 8 glocm not easily lifted, over the fairest portion of Gila County.
 1T looks much as though England and Germany would divide the Dark Conti- nent between them, regardless of the e-established rights of several smaller powers. Might made right ID the "good old times" and the same policy appears to be still in force in the European por- ton of the world.

Something Ne V an d Good

Col. Durr has again made step for ward as a public benefactor. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucson were complaining about the beer sold ir this city being bitter. Being on confidential terms with his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her lifeI studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies Of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city. and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car, ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good.
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at s12 per bbl. and S22O per doz., SO that all may share in the luxury nd benefits afforded by It's use.

RELIoGRAPH SIGNALING.

The Times presents this morning the been made public of the recent con- certed practice ID Arizona and New MexIco with the heliograph signal ser vice. This practice, under orders from the War Department, was under taken by Col. William J. Volkmar and an able corps of assistants, beginning May lst and ending at sundown May 10th. The public already understands that signaling by the heliograph system consists of flashing rays of sunshine with mirror from one point to another, which flashes are read by an established code of signals. The most trying tests were made by the practice described, and the general result was most satis- factory, messages being successfully transmitted a maximum distance of 125 miles. The successful demonstration of this method of signaling undoubtedly means its adoption te the fullest extent in the service, and its amplification to a complete system. It means an advance movement in field service, which will be adopted by other nations, and in future wars heliographing signaling will be- come an important factor. The eyes of the civilized world have been upon the heliograph practice in Arizona and New Mexico, and Col. Volkmar and his staff are to be congratulated upon the fcrtu- nate issue. .Brig-Gen Greedy, Chief signal officer of the Government, made a trip to the practice grounds, expressly to ob- serYe them, and pronounces the experi- ments the most complete, thorough and satisfa ;tory that have ever been made L. i Times,

The New Handwriting.

Has anybody noticed the quiet changes that have been going on in fashionable handwriting? That once called English" style has quietly vanished from polite society. In its place is found a rounder, more legible script that does not take up half the room, and is read in one-quarter time. Learn to acquire the angular hand' can no longer be set as a copy book text, if these signs of the times be true By all the signs the principal object of the new handwriting Is to make itself clear, and for this reason the rounded letters have quietly edged out the stilted ones, and once more carries the rule of common sense into a fashion. able matter.-Philadelphia Ledger

WE consider this community of ours Of great importance, speaking more par
 tlcularly of TuesO2 and its neighbor- hood, but generally. also, of all Arizona. Guessing safely, one might say that not more than one person of average intelli- gence in ten, in the United States, ever heard of our best localitie or know anything more of us than the mere name of our territory. There is vague idea in the minds of many, that Arizona is a kind of El Dorado, perhaps, and they un- derstand that it was once the home of a numerous and curious people, who have drifted over by the sands of time and have left no trace behind them but a few solemn ruins like the Casa Grande. Travellers and their books have. for the most part, told merely the marvellous about the country, and left out those things which would show that it is pretty much like the rest of the world, and that the people belong to the gener- al brotherhood of men. There is almost no conception abroad of the fact that We are busy people, with many centers of trade and activity. working at some disadvantage, but keeping abreast with the most enlightened communities in respects. They have heard Of the wonderful mirage, petriied forest. old ruins, etc, in our midst, facts which get out and go roaming, and are, for the most part, put down to the class of delu- sions, and are looked at with great in- creduality. We move In the haze of distance, and they look at us through the small ends Of their telescopes. We are moved to these reflections by the frequent requests one gets for some thing which tells about Arizona" The enquirers are often satisfied with a cur rent newspaper, we suppose, because ii is tangible article from the spot, and from which it can be argued that there must be something real about the b cality which supports such thing. We gladly respond to these requests, look ing in time to See knowledge of this country universal in the land.
