''This subject" he continued, 'has been

'AThe fragments, then, doctor, consist in

with their bodies dangling In mid-air above

unamiable mood before began my expert

ably complacent, and, indeed, took to the
finger or to the stick in the most natural
way, which fact, it seems to me, is an addi-
tional proof ofthe Darwinian philosophy.
How q Baby Will Strike.
'Besides this prehensile power I have
made some other curious observations" the
| doctor went on. "One thing of which I
| took particular note was the habits in
young children that seemed born with them,
OF which, subsequently,, developed spon-
| taneously. OF course it is difficult in the
taneous and which acquired by imitation.
For instance, a baby will, very early, and
before it has seen q blow struck, make q
| gesture Of striking when angry, and before
| it is year old will use the same movement
of the hand and arm to slap its nurse or an
other child. It always slaps with the open
hand, just as does q young gorilla, and in
such a manner as would bring claws into
action, supposing it had any,
"Again, an angry infant Of under . year
old will bite or threaten to bite spontane-
| ously, and always tries to bring its canine
teeth to bear, even when they are not fully
| cut.
'Then, also, took note of the various
voice-sounds Of infants before they begin to
speak, or initiate speech, especially when
their emotions are stirred; and it has been
plainly shown that there Is something like
a common semi-articulate language among
them, the feelings of pain, anger or pleas
ure finding almost identical expression.
A Wider Field OF Observation.
"The various temporary embryonic struc>
lures and organs which show undoubted re-
lationship with the lower animals have also
been carefully observed, to see if the
occasional imperfect degeneration of any Of
these could be associated with the appear
ance or survival of habits which, in the
lower state of Development, would be con-
nected with those organs. No very strik-
ing results have followed this branch of nv
Investigations SO far, but it needs large
field.

such illustrious records in most of the great
battles in the Army of the Potomac, was

were refused, as Secretary Cameron stated,
because the Government would accept less
than Pennsylvania quota rather than
more.
These troops had been called under q

OF War they were organized as State force,
and were frantically called for by Lincoln
and Cameron after the battle of Bull Run.
The Pennsylvania Reserves marched down

capital the morning after McDowell's army
had retreated into the Washington trenches.
Cameron's Views Upon Slavery.
The one vital issue that Cameron yerv
early appreciated was that of slavery. As
early as May, 1861, he wrote to General
Butler, instructing him to refrain from sur
rendering to their masters all slaves who
came within his lines, and to employ them
Sin the services to which they may be best
adapted" This was the first step taken by
the administration toward the overthrow Of
slavery. In August of the same wear. Gem
eral Fremont issued a proclamation in Mis-.
souri, declaring the slaves of all those in the
Confederate service to be forever free, which
was substantial emancipation of all slaves
in Missouri. Lincoln at once revoked the
Fremont order, and sent Secretary Cameron
and the Adjutant General to personally
examine into the situation in Missouri and

TIE editor of the Prescott Journal Miner is well informed upon legislative matters in this Territory for number of years. Sometimes his memory serves a most useful purpose in the exposure of frauds, as per the following item: "When Governor Zulick went into office he made special hobby of ring ing the changes on the corruption of the Thirteenth Legislature for appointing clerks not authorized bylaw. When the Fourteenth Legislature met, Governor Zulick opposed with such frmness the appointment of any clerks other than those provided for and paid for by the general government that none were ap- pointed. The same question came up on Wednesday at the present session of the Legislature, when Xulick made an eloquent speech in favor of such appoint ments. The circumstance only serves as further illustration of what is known to every one, that Zulick is the greatest demagogue in the Territory. The same law applies today to the appointment of clerks that was in force during the ses- sion of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Legislatures. And there was just as much authority for the former LegisIa- ture to appoint forty clerks as there is for the present one to appoint three. Mir. Zulick claimed to be contCnding for a principle then, but his recent action shows him to be devoid of any prin- ciple,"

ARIZONA farmers can profit by the ex- perience of California, for the same con ditions exist. Twenty years have been there used in experiment to learn for what their soil, with climatic and other conditions, was best adapted and now they are beginning to reap the harvest of those years of labor. If they had known al the beginning hundreds of for tunes might have been accumulated with less labor than they have devoted to ex- pertinent. These valuable lessons can be turned to account in Arizona. In one-third of the time that California has consumed in learning the lesson the broad acres of Salt River Valley may be yielding as great percentage upon the value as placed upon the fruit lands of California. This vital question is being re- alized and the efforts of the Fruit Grow ers' Association, in connection with the Chamber of Commerce and individual action bespeak q prosperous future for this valley and for Arizona.

Now THAT the Territory seems to be looking for measures tending toward added security and morality among its citizens, the Tucson Citi:en presents the following advice: "The Citizen suggests for the second time that the present Legislative body might distinguish itself by introducing and passing a high license bill There is a crying need in this Territory for just such legislation. Tucson would be infinitely better off if the scores of doggeries which exist in our midst were wiped out. All parties concerned would profit by and we think favor such legislation. The Sixteenth Legislature would add laurels to their work by enacting laws on this hne."

GENERAL MATHEWS, of Los Angeles County, has introduced a bill in the California Legislature, relating to street imp ;ovements, that might well be taken up in Arizona. It provides a. method by which extensive street work can be carried on without imposing the heavy financial burdens which property own ners must assume under the present laws. Under his plan the City Council or equivalent municipal body proceeds under the routine usual in such cases, advertises for bids for improving cer- tain street, and the contract is let to the lowest bidder. To pay for this work bonds are issued by the city, paya- ble by the abutting property owners, in eight annual installments. The city guarantees the payment but looks to the property owner for it, and the Indi- yidual pro rata of indebtedness be- comes lien in favor of the city upon the payment of the bonds. Say, for instance, that the cost of improving in front of given piece of property is $450; instead of the owner paying that amount of money in cash and all at one time, as is expected now, he pays, under General Matthews plan, only one eighth of that sum, together with in- terest on the deferred balance at a low
 rate. Each successive payment there fore becomes lighter. The ease with
 which property owners can improve under this plan must be apparent to all. It offers advantages to contractors also. The money is raised by bonds and is in bank before the work com mences; therefore, the contractor, sure oI hls money promptly and with no contingency Uf d law suit, can afford to Uld lower than II, as under the present law, he must look to the individual property owner Tor his pay. Under this system street work could be under taken Tn the city 9n an extensive scale, to continue many months and give em- ployment to many persons, without Uurdening either the city or individuals.

TIE rapid increase in the wealth, business and prosperity of the United States during the last ten years is simply marvellous.

England's wealth in 1885 is given as S5OOOO, 100000, giving an average wealth per head of $l545. The average in Scotland is Sl2,5 per head, and Ireland S565. The total wealth of France is estimated at $3G,- GOO, ,OOO, ,OOO. England exacts in taxes s2O per head of population, while each individual in the United States pays but $l2.5D.
