Saved from Death.

When Mrs Kunegarde Fuchman went
to the butchers store at O'Clock the
other day, says the New York Sataa, to
buy meat, she left her four-and-a-haif-
year-old baby George asleep in crib in
@ front room en- the top floor OF 227 Kent
avenue, " iliamsburgh. When she re-
turned, less than fifteen minutes later,
her baby was sobbing in the arms of q
powerfully built man on the sidewalk in
front of the house, while % crowd OF
sympathizing neighbors stood around
and talked of the miraculous escape 1T
had from terrible death.
Mrs. Fuclrlan dropped her market
basket and snatched the baby She ex-
amined il all over, aud finding that it
was unhurt, and that she had nothing
to cry for, she sat down on the doorstep
in the pouring rain and cried. Some of
the negbbors joined in, while all tried
to tell her at once what had happened.
While they were talking the big man in
whose arms she had found her baby af>
ter saying, simply: Better lock your
windows next time, num-" walked way
He told a policeman who asked him
what the crowd had collected for that "a
kid had fallen from the window and that
he had caught itn Neither of them was
hurt, he said, and then he disappeared.
| A lad who saw the occurrence told
reporter for the Sun that the MANS
name was james Smith. He lived some
where near Morton street and worked
for Charles Roy al, 73 Clymer street, as a
brass polisher The works shut down
early because there was no water and
Smith was walking down toward the
north side Suddenly he stopped and
| looked upward.
The reporters informant looked ups
ward also and saw baby climbing out
of q window. There was q cry, flash
of something white through the air, and
| Smith staggered across the sidewalk
with his hands cIasped under the baby
The little fellow was terribly frighte ned
and could hardly breathe for moment.
Then he shrieked and crowd of women
from no one knew where gathered
around to learn what had happened.
When John Fuchman returned from
his work in the Atlas Tack Company's
shops, he took the baby and undressed
him He felt every muscle of his fat
little body and limbs, and then he said
he did not want any dinner. He could
not eat or sleep until he had shaken
hands with James Smith. He visited
every house on Wythe avenue within
four blocks of Morton street without
finding Smith, and then returned to the
Kent avenue house to have another look
at the baby. Then he started out again
on the hunt for the man who had saved
his little ones life. He had not found
him up.to midnight.
The Fuchmans are from Germany
They have lived in Brooklyn a little
more than year. Little George is the
only child they have. Mrs. Fuchman is
certain that she locked her window be-
fore she went out, and cannot under
stand how a baby could have known
enough to unlock it and throw up the
sash.

TIE Political Fortunes Of Clay and
Blaine.

TIE Political Fortunes Of Clay and
Blaine.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The editor of the Courier Journal
says:
any other living statesman he resembles Clay;
the mantle OF Clay seems. indeed, to have fallen
upon him, and it carries with it the doom that
pursued Clay throughout his career.
The parallel which he seeks to draw
between the political fortunes Of the two
men is inexact Mr.. Blaine was q can
didate for the Republican nomination
in 1876, and was defeated. He was a
candidate four years later and was not
successful. In 1884 he was nominated
and was beaten by bit of bad luck
called Burchard.
Mr.. Clay first ran for the Presidency
in 1924, his competitors being John
Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and
William A. Crawford. By some fine
chose the Electors that year, Clay lost
four votes, which went to Crawford. Ii
Mr.. Clay had received them his would
have been one OF the three names bal
lotted on by the House and his chance
of being chosen would have been as
good as those of Mr.. Adams That was
the beginning of his bad luck. When
he ran in 1882 it was as a forlorn hope.
No man could have defeated Jackson.
In 1910 Mr. Clay was chiselled out of
the nomination, and more available"
candidate was selected. Unquestionably
Mr.. Clay could have been elected that
wear. but his luck was against him.
That was the case with Mr.. Webster
also. who WAS offered and refused in
dignantly the Vice>Presidency on the
Harrison ticket Had he accepted death
would have given him the prize it was
fated he should not gain.
In 1874 Mr.. Clay was nominated, and,
owing to variety of causes, for some
OF which he was to blame, was de-
feated by Mr. Polk. In 1848 he was
a candidate for the nomination, and,
although the leader of his party, was
passed by on the ground of "laek of
availability and General Taylor with
his Mexican War record and nothing
else to commend him. was chosen. 1t is
possible that had Mr.. Clay been the
Wing candidate the same Democratic
Free Soil detection in New York which
elected Taylor would have elected him.
Mr. Clay was dogged by unwearied i'll
fortune. Whenever there was chance
for him something went wrong. With
Blaine it is different. Had he been nom
mated against Tilden it is not likely
that he would have been elected. 1t
is true that he has been candidate once
and been defeated, but that happened
to Jefferson, Jackson, and General Har-
rison, each of whom was unsuccessful
in the first race he made.
In one respect Mr.. Clay and Mr. Blaine
are alike. Each had bitter and shame
less slanderers to pursue him. Mr.. Clay
lived down the calumnies against him,
and Mr.. Blaine has done the same. More
fortunate than the Kentuckian, ne can

Edison and His Visitors.

About Orange you can hear number
less stories of Edison. Everybody likes
him. One man, who had for years been
in his employ as an experimentaiist, told
of a visit number of men-Jay Gould,
Sidney Dillon, Cyrus Field and others
paid to Edison at the laboratory one
day. Edison! came out ssof his work.
room, where he was busy, and shook
hands with MI Field At that instant
something popped into bis head apropos
of the experiment he was at work on.
He never gives an idea time to escape
him. Without word Of excuse to the
magnates, he turned on his heel and
hurried into his den again. They watt
ed and waited, and by and by, tired out
with delay, wendell their way down
stairs. Shortly afterward Edison came
out and asked
where did those raupers go?"
Down STAIRS
IBID they walk p
Yes
''That's right. ] don't want EN- to
wear the oil of my elevator
Then he stood around and told sto-
ries to his men He is great man for
stories, and it is tradition among his
employees that they can tell him the
same story every day for week and he
will never tire of it, nor in fact show
any sign of having heard it before.

Some Reasons for the Growth of the
 Tubers in This Valley.

Some Reasons for the Growth of the
 Tubers in This Valley.
 Written for THE REPUBLICAN.
 Now is the time to plant potatoes in the Salt River Valley, and our farmers should plant good acreage of this staple production. With proper prepara- tion of soil and care in cultivation, they are very profitable crop and would keep a large amount of money in the country that is now sent to other dis triCts.
 Several persons have experimented with Irish potatoes here and made it a success, and l see no reason why the farmers generally should not improve their opportunities in small farming, which figures and facts will show is not very small in the end, but will usually pay more than any other line. It IS needless to say that potato raising, like all gardening and in short everything, siderable hard work, and the mora work IS done the more product will be the re- ward.
 A soft piece of ground should be selecte and pLCntifully mulched with we'll rotted manure; do not be afraid of getting on too much. Then blow deep, not less than ten or twelve inches, select good seed from large, whole pota- tOes-nOt scraps or parings, as some have done for economy It is the poorest of economy.
 Early Rose, Burbank, Peerless and Snowflake are good varities and early. The Snowflake is grown largely in Colo radO, and is about the best, if the seed can be had. would advise getting any of these from that State, if possible. A new potato worth trying is the Rose Seeding.
 Having carefully prepared your seed, blow your ground into ridges three feet apart, and plant in rows, one eye in a place, about ten or twelve inches apart. Do not irrigate too much or get the water too close to the row, but keep the ground soft by cultivation. Last season, m one instance near Phoenix, 2O5 pounds of seed produced, 42O0 pounds of potatoes, and after this crop was harvested the same ground was used for a melon patch and very good crop and income realized.
 The price of potatoes is never below NNhb0 PSi BOuliA anu NilS Ndlly NlOp brings and upwards. It will open your eyes 70 know what it costs to feed the people of Phoenix their daily require ment of this food. There is consumed daily one ton of potatoes, or thirty tons per month, or 36O tons per annum, and this is a conservative figure. Taking the minimum price of cents per pound and we have the sum of $l2O0 monthly, or $I4, 400 annually, paid out for this one commodity, that now comes prircIpally from other States.
 Let us look to our interests and see that this constant drain upon our money resources IS stopped. The growers have also found that the potato can be kept some time in a ventilated adobe room above ground. There are other products that can be raised successfully that l hope to furnish information upon in future. x.

men who charged past her house found her quietly baking her bread and dis tributing it 70 the hungry. When the battle was over, her house was found to be riddled with shot and shell, and seventeen dead bodies were taken from the house and cellar; the bodies of wounded men who had crawled to the little dwelling for shelter. Twenty years after the close of the war General Carr's men and others held grand re- union at Gettysburg; and learning that Josephine Rogers was still living, but had married and taken up her residence Tn Ohio, they sent for her, paid her passage from her home to Gettysburg and back, and had her go to her old home and tell them the story which they all knew so well.

IN his "reminiscences of Gettysburg, published in the North Americdn ReVieW for February, General Henry w. Slocum narrates this interesting incident: "We called at the house which has always been an object of interest to ali who visit this field. Near the line occupied by the brigade under command of General J. B. Carr, of Troy, N. Y, stands little one-story house, which at the time of the battle was occupied by a Mrs. Rogers and her daughter. On the morning of July General Carr stopped at the house and found the daughter, q girl about IS years of age, alone, busily engaged in baking bread. He informed her that a great battle was inevitable, and advised her to seek a place of safety at once. She said she had a batch of bread baking in the oven, and she would remain until it was baked and then leave. When the bread was baked it was given to our soldiers, and deyoured so eagerly that she concluded to remain and bake another batch. And SO she continued to the end of the battle, bak. Ing and giving her bread to all who came. The great artillery duel which shook the earth for miles around did not drive her from her oven. Pickett's

TIE so-called circular letter from Flagstaff on the Coconino bill, wherein it makes attacks upon Hon. w. G. Stewart is unwarranted and malicious. Whatever may be Mickey" Stewards faults, no one can say but what he is one of the foremost citizens of Flagstaff, and one who is always working for the advancement of the Territory and for the best interests of the community in which he resides. The letter bears the imprint of malice, and therefore TIE REPUBLICAN hopes that it will have no effect and that the Assembly will treat the proposed amendment to the Coco nino bill with due consideration regard less of such malicious personal attacks as this circular letter indicates.
Arizona republican., 1891-02-03

As WILL be noted by perusal of a special dispatch to the San Francisco Chronicle, republished in another col umn, the vigorous president of the Arizona Canal is pushing the interests of Arizona in manner that is deserving of all commcndation. MT. Murphy has taken upon himself the office of special commissioner to forward the establish ment near Phoenix of a large Indian school and with his original ideas upon supplying occupation for the rising gen eratiOn of aborigines has evidently been successful in attracting both official and public interest in the East. II is not to be doubted that the Indian could be taught to raise fruit successfully. The Pueblo tribes of northern New Mexico are expert orchardists and, nearer at home, the Papagoes, Pimas end Mari copas show especial aptitude in tilling the soil. That they would be equally successful in orchard growing is not to be doubted. The presence of these peace able and industrious tribes near by will in few years prove of much benefit to fruit growers in the Salt River Valley. The labor required in orchards is for the most part during the picking season and much fruit annually rots upon the trees in California for the want of pickers. Boys and girls from the cities, and gangs of Chinese are brought into service, but ly ia ha ,lEvn T { ,l. In this valley no trouble of such charac- ter need occur, for 1000 faithful laborers can be obtained upon call. The Indian school, with the help of representatives of the Agricultural Department, will teach young Lo the finer points in the busi- ness and will contribute a not incon- siderable number of skilled laborers, who, in turn, will become instructors of their fellows.
