 Grsngers in tbs Army.

Washington, D, C., dispatch says
 Ever since public and official attention was directed to the subject of the fre- quency of assertions from the army, 6 year or so ago, there has been deter mined effort on the part of the author ities to improve the quality of the ma- terial with which the service was re. cruited in the belief that in this lay the remedy for the great evil. Extra en- deavors We're made to secure young men who sought the army AS a profes- sion rather than as haven of refuge, and to this epd -he efforts of recruiting officers have been systematically turned away from cities towards the country. The new system has just begun to show it's fruits, and is more than justifying the expectations of those who inaugu- rated 1t. An officer of the Adjutant Generals Department who had charge of this work remarked recently
 'We are having very good luck with our later recruits, and l think that the army to-day is composed of better class of people than ever before. We have abandoned the city field almost entirely for the country, where We arc. more apt to find vigorous young men. free from the communications of the rough life of towns, eager to do well and to wear cheErons, Such men make good soldiers, far better than the cid. hardened tonghs who come ont of the sinms to enlist ns last resort, or us means of drowning their identities.

A scW Forage Plant.

The Dspartm snt of Agriculture through its many experimental stalions has been testing the relative value of grasses in an eudeayor to find one that will exist aud flourish in localities which suffer from Q minimum of rniuiall,
 Such ? grass is believed to have been discovered in the brome grass, or the Bronus Inermis of botany. !. is not certain where this forage plant origina- ted, but il is known that for the pns, thirty years 1t has been cultivated in Austria and Hungery ppd in the hot arid sections of southern Europe with a success that permits the strongest hopes of it's successful introduction west of the Mississippi.
 Two years ago Assistant Secretary Wilhts sent to Austria and scented a quantity of the seed of the brome grass, which was sown at the Garden City ox- perimental station, in Kansas The result that year, which was a very dry one, was beyond all expectations. Last year the twelve varieties of native Pras8es were sown alongside the brome. Owing to the drouth, only two of these survived
 
 The brome grass grew luxuriaptly and surpassed the two native grasses q hundred fold. Enough seed was gath cred to enable the department to plant tn extensive area this year, and its suc- cess as a pasturage in q desert will doubtless be proven. The benefit of such forage crop to the West is in- calculable
 The suceess of this hardy, thrifty forage plant will be great benefit to the agriculturist
 It is also believed that the cnltiva- tion necessary to start this grass, and the green, moist surface 1t will present, will have a tendency to create moist atmosphere and increase the rainfall, that other crops can be cultivated sue cessfully. - Irrigation Age,

arrested on susplcIan.

The Stockman says. While at Bowie Station last Monday evening, We learned the particulars of horrible find made by party of colored soldiers who were fishing in the river below Fort Thomas. TLe body of 6 man with his face almost entirely cut away, was fished out of the water, where it had been for several days, and the authorities notified, who immediately took charge of the body, and on investigating carefully, several clues were discovered, one of which proved correct. Two Mexicans were known 10 have left Fort Apache to- gether on foot, while only one arrived at Thomas, and he unusually flush, not trying to conceal his money, nor the bloody clothing he discarded for a new suit. This latter clue pointed very strong towards guilt, and Deputy Sher- if Jake Sollars and Constable Cooper took UT the trail, following it to Wit cox, and were rewarded Wednesday morning by arresting their man on tho streets. He was placed in the cala- boose, and next morning taken back to Thomas,

Income Of the Prince or Vale.

The Prince of Wales budget consists ! of el00, 900 year from the Govern
 ment civil list and the revenue of the
 Duchy of Cornwall, amounting to from
 E3S, 900 to E40, 900 year. The Prin-
 cess on her marriage received very
 small dowry from her father, the poor
 King of Denmark, and she would have
 been positively poor in her own right
 had not Parliament voted her f30, 600 q year. Each of her children, and there are five of them, receives from the country an annual income of $6000. Multiplying these sums by five to get them into dollars, Te find that the rev. enue of the family IS just about Sl ,000, . 900 year. Th.s ought to keep even prince, but 1t doesn't. Every few years Wales debts must be paid off by the Government or by his mother-usually by the former. He keeps up three res idences-M Marlborough House In Lon dqp, Sandringham in Norfolk County and Abergeide in Scotland These three residences entail the presence of an army of retainers- care-takers, coachmen, and grooms, keepers, beat ,ers. giliies gardeners and hGngers.on. Independently cf these the household of the Prince consists necessarily of great number of functionaries and of- fieials, with whom he is bound to sur round himself, He has comptroller, treasurer, three chamberlains, four equerries in chief and six others who are supplementary, private secretary, librarian, a superintendent of the household with two aasiatanes, c house and three honorary chaplalns, three house and five honorary doctors, three surgeons and substitute, and den tist with a yearly appointment. ''In point of fact, says the London core. spondent of the New York Sun, ''the household of the Prince of Wales is on the same footing as that of sovereign with the difference that his civil list is inferior to every reigning monarch. with the exception of the King of Greece"

 My attention has just been called to an article in this evenings Citizen, copied from the Phoenix Herald of the 18th, in which appears letter from MT. Horton, dated December 31, 1890, offering to take our bonds on commis- sion. From this letter it is evident that l have been wrong in my calcula- tion as to the time Mir. Horton first made direct bid on the bonds, which must from the reading of this letter of December 3l, 2s90, been subsequent te ti,dt dafe.
 This being Q fact, l have seriously mlsrepresented Secretary Murphy, and owe him public apology. which I hereby make. It certainly was not my intention to misrepresent or in the least misstate anything connected with this bonded matter l therefore take this early and prompt manner of retracting all that appeared in the Republican that in any manner reflected on the Funding Board prior to the meeting of the late Legislature

It would seem, from present indica- tions, that the country of Palestine will regain considerable measure of it's former industrial prosperity. The only thing needed is an industrious popnla- ton, for the soil and climate have been found to be almost identical with those ot southern Italy II is not possible to get the Arabs to work the tillers ofthe soil must be c0lonized from other coun- tries. ii 1t we're not for the fear that Russia will soon possess herself of Pal estine, Il would be splendid opesing for the thousands of Jews vino gre be- ing 50 cruelty perseouted and driven out of Russia tor, as n rule, the Rus sian Hebrews are farmers and garden CTS. There is already Jewish colony at Rosh Finals, in Galilee. which is proaperon5 beyond even the most san guiEe expectations of its founders, and the settlement moro resembles an ideal English or American village than an Oriental one Other similar colonies are springng mp near by, and an im- portant commerce has been established with other countries, by an overland service.

To import Ce,ored Help.

There Is q movement on foot here among some of the farmers and fruit growers to bring a car load of negroes out from the south to do farm work. It has been difficult to. get men to pick fruit; while men have been scarce and Mexicans will only work few days at a time, and in fruit gathsting time it is necessary to have men who can be de- pended on to stay. These negroes will agree to come out here aiid work and, if enough of them can be engaged among the farmers to make up 6 car load, they will be sent tor. About six ty have already been spoken for by different parties of the valloy. The parties who are interested in the scheme say the negroes are all plantation raised and are good workers; among them are many women who are good cooks. -Gnzette,

The oldest Republic.

Switzerland is the oldest republic in

 the summer of the year l29i, the three
 famous Eldgenossen (men bound to- gether by oath, Walther Furst von Attinghausen, Werner Staufaeher, and Arnold yon Melchthal, stood together on the Ruth, Il secluded Alpine meadow above the Mytenstein, on uri Lake, and swore solemn oath to save their country from rulers as shameless as they were cruel. 'Tis six hundred years since, and still Switzcrlandis is free, self-goYerning, self-respecting and by all respected, wealthy, frugal, and honored above all n2tious, and more than once called to arbitrate (as in our Alabama easel between angry nations, and has never failed to accept the un- grateful office. The twenty.iwo can- tons now forming the Federal State grew ou. of the tiny confederation of three petty States, which first extended to league of eight, then of thirteen independent districts, and thesa three eantons which were the eeuters of the revolution which gave Switzerland her Freedom are Unterwalden, selwyta, and Fri, known as the Forest Cantons.

survey Of ihe PaciGc Coast.

After l9 years the U. s. steamer Hassler has completed the survey of the California and Oregon coasts. The Hassler was built specially for this work in 1871, and on her maiden trip around Cape Horn, Professor Agnssiz made series of deep-see dredgings along the coast of North and South America, with valuable results to sci cree. The most interesting fact de- veloped in the recent surveys IS that the coast line of Southern California is more abrupt than that of any part of the Atlantic or other portion of the Pacific, thus, about Monterey, the I00- fathon point was reached within mile or less of the shore, while in the Allan tic and South Pacific it is from 25 to loo miles off shore.
