The United States has acquired
title to several tracts of land at Sher-
idan's Point, on the Potomac, near
Mount Vernon, and options have
been given on other lands in that
neighborhood, and it is thought that
at no distant day the United States
will make up to some extent for its
want of foresight in not buying the
200 acres of the Mount Vernon Man
sion tract which the late John A.
Washington offered President Pierce
for 5000, 600 some years before it was
sold to the Mount Vernon Associa-
ton. This making up" will, it is
said, consist in buying up, as fast as
needed, the various tracts of land
that were a portion of the original
plantation of Mount Vernon, and the
establishment there from time to time
of various military and other works
in connection with the army and navy
of the United States. In this way
the home and tomb of Washington
will in lime be nearly surrounded by
national Establishments, and the
greater portion of Westinghouse Mt.
Vernon land will be the property of
the United States.

A curious sight, not on the bills,
was witnessed by those who attended
the performance of the ." Gypsy
Queen" at Clarksburg last Wednes-
day night, by the HiIda Vernon ORA
matte Company, which has played
several engagements in C harles-Town.
During the second act, Miss Vernon,
the Queen, was supposed to be knocked
down by her father. In falling, she
got too near the footlights, and her
flowing hair caught fire. The actress
drew the burning mass through her
hands several times, and finally ex-
tinguished the flames; but while SO
doing, she did not miss line, nor
did her facial expression change
Her hair was entirely destroyed, and
her scalp and hands badly burned.
The other performers seemed para.
lyzed and rendered no assistance
The audience was badly frightened
but applauded Miss Vernon's pluck
to the echo.

We had the pleasure few days
ago of visiting the establishment of
w. f. 6 t. z. Lippitt, and must
confess we were greatly surprised as
we'll as much pleased to note the
prosperity of this enterprising firm.
Everybody about the place were as
busy as they could be, and were
working harmoniously apparently
with the sole desire to push forward
as rapidly as possible the many or
ders to be filled. The large ware
house, corner Liberty and George
streets, was filled with stock of
over 5000 sash, doors and blinds, a
carload of cement, paints, glass and
builders hardware. The yard at
tached was filed with large stock
of flooring, framing lumber of all
kinds, fencing, posts, etc. From
there we went to their factory (famiI-
iarly known as the Roselle) situated
on George street and B. & o. r. r.,
where we found n thoroughly equipped
saw and planning mill, with large saw
and carriage by which all kinds of
custom saving is done, and planners,
moulders, lathes, blind machines and
wood working machinery of various
kinds, and large force of hands st
work. Here also is located another
yard which was filled with all kinds
Of lumber. Across the railroad from
the factory is the fertilizer mill, which
is operated by the same firm. At the
west end of town, on the n. & w. r.
r., we visited their bricllyard where
they have in stock 100000 brick, as
fine as any we have seen, for paving
and building purposes. All branches
of the firms varied business were
filled with orders, and among others
which we noted was the material being
COTTON ready for the Fourth avenue
house of the G. @. Co., frames for
the G. NJ, NJ. & I. Co. office, ma
terial for houses of Henry Dunn,
Chas. Fox and Jas. Williams, large

When legal firm engages to take a case for client and gets all the evi- dence on one side in order to sell out to the parties representing the opposite side, for larger fee, it seems about time that their credentials were cancelled by the judge having such authority. Yet just such a case can be proven against law firm of this town. When men of any profession have not honor enough to keep them from disgracing that profession, they should be made to seek some other employment where more muscle and less honor is required. --Ph9niT Gazette.
 The above is an unwarranted rehec- ton upon every member of the bar of Maricopa county. If The Ga,ette has the evidence that it professes to have, let it produce it and publish the name of the guilty party. The reputable mem- bers of the bar can not afford to rest under the cloud cast by the Gazette, and that paper should lose no time in publishing the name of the guilty firm Tn order that no innocent party may be unjus.ly suspected.

In some of the schools of Chilli when n boy becomes boistcrOus he is sent to jail, and for this purpose there are min iature prisons, They arc dark vaults, each just large enough for person to stand in, where the student is locked and left to meditate. After remaining six hours in one position he is general ly tractable; if not, he is left until he is. A large corner room is fitted up as a chapel, with numerous shrines, con fessionals, images, etc. There is also a theater, with elevated stage, nov able scenes, footlights and grecn-room. As coeaucation is not permitted, and if a young lady should associate on the stage with the other sex she would be disgraced for life, the boys are com pelled to don petticoats whenever the exigencies of the drama require.

DEMOCRATIC ExTRAvAGANCE.

The recent decision that prosecuting attorneys may, at their discretion, employ assistants, is undoubtedly in accordance with the law; but it is very bad law, and IS perfectly in line with the policy of the Democratic legislature that passed the bill and the Democratic governor who signed it.
 The effect of the decision is to practi- cally open the doors for another prose- cutting attorney in every county in Ari- zona, and thus increase the taxes of the people to support supernumerary in idleness.
 It will not be difficult for Democrat to imagine that he requires the assis- tance of brother Democrat--especially when he has the authority of the law authorizing this increased expense to the tax payers, and a law that was ap- proved by the dominant party in the territory.
 But whether Democrats or Republi- cans reap the benefits, it is equally odious, and is bad precedent to estab- fish.
 No office holder should be allowed to spend the money of the people without hindrance or check, and no prosecuting attorney should be allowed to decide whether or not he requires an associate. Let the people decide that, No attorney is bound to accept the office unless he wants it, and when he does assume the duties, he should fulfill them to the best of his ability, and if not satisfied with the pay he receives for the work re- quired he has only to step down and out.
 Democrats spend great deal of time bowling about the extravagance of Re- publicans, but 1t is a very noticeable fact that these same Democrats usually have their hands in the public till wher they do their loudest talk. The in ference is that they are afraid the Re publicans might possibly come in power and shut off the leakage of public funds
