THERE is. in many quarters feeling that the Funding bill should be acted upon at once and almost every day let ters are received from impatient citizens inquiring why the bonds are not placed. rHE REPUBLICAN can state, on behalf of the Funding Commissioners, that they are doing all they can to expedite the work. It is, however, work of that character that can not be proclaimed from the house tops. The disposing of a million or million and half dollars worth of bonds is no light task, and particularly under the conditions which the commission have to labor. The bonds only bear per cent interest and by the act of Congress this interest is only made payable annually instead of semi-annually.a as is the case in almost all low interest hearing bonds. Then too the total indebtedness, Territorial county and municipal of Arizona is in round figures S3, ,5O0 ,000 and the assessed valuation for 1890 but S2S,0 0,000. This ih l'SNil iS b bs'i iol NIlC StlN oi a million dollars worth of bonds and to add to it the credit of Arizona does not rank A in financial centers. To add to these drawbacks Alliance legislation in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and other western States has very seri
 ,usly affected all western securities, Arizona among the rest. Capital is, as is well known, exceedingly conservative, and when Legislators become seized with cranky notions to cinth capital it immediately retires to it's vaults and stays there. The act of Congress also requires that the bonds issued under the funding act shall be disposed of at par. With the difficulties enumerated above this is exceedingly difficult. However, the Commissioners are using their utmost endeavor to place he bonds and people should bide them. selves in patience until it can be done.

TIE REPuBLIcAN is in receipt of a note from w. D. Sharp, of the Salt River Valley nursery, sayi?g he is in receipt of letter from the Santa Fe railroad offering very satisfactory rates for the shipment of green grapes this summer. The letter will be read before meeting of fruit shippers next Saturday, called for the purpose of organizing a fruit shippers union. Owners representing 25J acres of growing fruit are already pledged to join such a union and it is desired that every acre in the valley be represented.

TIE Constitutional Convention will soon be upon us, and in view of the pos sibihty that the President may, in the end, be called upon to sign the bill for statehood, it is proper that the statement of the Star regarding what the President said on this subject should be corrected. The Star quotes him as saying internationally that he would sign a bill for the admis- sion of Arizona, if it properly reached him. This is an error, as all within reach of the Presidents voice can tes tiiy. The President said, in effect, that if bill for the admission of Arizona reached him during his term of office. and the wealth and population of the Territory was sufficient to justify state hood, he would gladly attach his sigma ture to the bill.

HE Democratic nominees for the Constitutional Convention are hardly of the calibre one might have expected from that party, when it is considered that it has many far aber men in Mari copa county. The entire proceedings of the convention bore the imprint of the directing hand of the "ld gang which, with it's solid block of 52, dictated the actions of the county convention last fall. Of the three candidates two are attorneys, neither of whom are of any considerable prominence at the bar. Such an able jurist and logical req soner as Judge Joe Campbell, a man who would be credit to the Territory in Constitutional Convention was cOolly shelved to make way for the rings selection. So clear-headed man as Judge Hawkins, of Tempe, would also have been head and shoulders, as a con StitutiOn maker, above the men chosen, but then the Judge does not worship at the shrine of the gang, and of course, he too, was ignored

Laying the Submarine Cable.

The first attempt to lay submarine
cable across the Atlantic began at Va
lentia, Ireland in 1857, by means of two
British and two American vessels. Three
hundred miles of cable was successfully
spun out, when break occurred and the
scheme was abandoned until the next
year. In August, 1858, another start
was made and the line was stretched
from Valentia to Newfoundland. Com
munication between England and
America was had on August 18th, when
Queen Victoria sent message of con-
graduation to President Buchanan, who
replied with similar sentiment. The
success of the enterprise was the subject
of rejoicing in both nations, and many
messages were sent until September.
when communication grew more and
more difficult and was finally abandoned.
1t was eight years after when the first
completely successful Atlantic cable was
laid. The Great Eastern was the boat
which held the great coils of wire. This
circuit was completed in 1866 and has
never yet failed Detroit Free Press.

A Smuggling Experience.

A man about town was relating the
other day a little experience of his in the
matter of smuggling will not say into
this port. He will at least never try the
same thing in the same way. Coming
from Odessa, he brought with him a
small quantity of the very best Turkish
tobacco. Before leaving the vessel he
spread it out and folded it in large silk
handkerchiefs, and placed it next the
skin under his vest. The ample chest
protector in no degree gave him suspi-
cious fullness, but it was as much as he
could do to walk ashore by the plank and
reach some place where he could tear
this horrible poultice from him. Medi-
cal practice knows that tobacco thus ap-
piled is one of the most powerful OF
emetics. York Star.

Heat and Growth Of the Hair.

1t is generally understood that the hair
and nails grow faster in hot weather than
in cold, but perhaps few are aware that
any temperature can impart so great a
stimulus to the growth as Colonel Peje-
valsky, the Russian traveller, says the
Central Asian heat did during his jour
ney in those regions in the summer of
1889. In June, the ground and the air
became excessively hot, so great, indeed,
as to render travel in the daytime impos-
sible. Within fortnight after this op-
pressive weather began it was noticed
that the hair and boards of all the party
were growing with astonishing rapidity,
and, strangest of all, some youthful Co.'S
sacks, whose faces were perfectly smooth,
developed respectable boards within the
short period of twenty days.-Brooklyp

Now and then, all through her stay,
trading vessels were sighted in the off
ing, with now and then craft known to
be manned by Englishmen, but signals
made to the latter by means of smoke
were never needed. Her main hope was
that the loss of the schooner would in
some way reach her friends at Singapore,
and that searching party might be sent
out to her rescue.
One day, when she had been on the
island four years lacking about fifty days,
the British survey ship, Sahib, then en-
gagged in surveying the group, dropped
anchor off the mouth of the creek and
sent party ashore to explore the in

this party, but to be the first man to see
and to speak to Mrs. Williams. We
found her in excellent health, although
tanned and roughened by exposure to
the weather. When she had donned her
own proper apparel and had time to
tidy up no one could find fault with her
appearance.
After few days we sailed for Singa-
pore, where Mrs. Williams was safely
landed, and a few weeks later man-of-
war was despatched to the island where
the schooner had been seized. Natives
were found who gave all the particulars,
and the result was that eight men were
brought aboard, tried, convicted and
swung up at the yard arm, while three
more were shot while irving to escape

The Indians of Northwest Canada.

DIR. Boas, in the British Association
report on the Northwestern tribes of the
Dominion of Canada, describes the In
dians of the Pacific coast as being able
bodied and muscular, with the upper
limbs, owing to the strengthening of the
arms and chest by the constant use of the
paddle, generally better developed than
the lower ones. They have keen sight,
but in old age frequently become blear-
eyed. Their mental capacity is high, as
is proved by the state of their culture.
Whiteness of skin and slenderness of
limbs are considered among the principal
beauties of men and women, and long,
black hair of women. In some of the
tales red hair is described as peculiar
beauty of women. Red paint on the
face, tight fitting bracelets and anklets
of copper, nose and ear ornaments of
varlegated haliotis shells, and hair strewed
with eagledown, add to the natural
charms. The fact that in honor of the
arrival of friends the house is swept and
strewed with sand, and that the people
bathe at such occasions, shows that clean
illness is appreciated. The current ex-
preston is, that the house is so cleaned
that no bad smell remains to offend the
guest. For the same reason the Indian
/ takes repeated baths before praying, "that
he may be of agreeable smell to the
deity" The Indian is grave and self
composed in all his actions; and playing
is considered undignifed and even bad.
In the Tsimshian language the term for
play means to talk to no purpose; and
doing anything to no purpose is con-
temptible to the Indian He is, rash in
anger, but does not easily lose control
over his actions. He sits down or lies
down sullenly for days without partak-
ing of food, and when he rises his first
thought is, not to take revenge, but to
show that he is superior to his adversary.
Great pride and vanity combined with
the most susceptible Jealousy, character
ize all actions of the Indian. He watches
that he may receive his proper share of
honor at festivals; he can not endure to
be 1idiculed for even the slightest mis-
take; he carefully guards all his actions,
and locks for due honor to be paid to
him by friends, strangers, and subordi-
mates. To be strong and able to sustain
the pangs of hunger are evidently con-
sidered worthy of praise by the Indians;
but foremost of all is wealth. 1t is con-
sidered the duty of every man to have
pity upon the poor and hungry. Women
are honored for their chastity and for be-
ing true to their husbands children, for
taking care of their parents; men, for
skill and daring in hunting and for
bravery in war.

The surrender Of the Commune.

Next day (May %, 1879 it was gen.
orally known that the "Versaillais," as
they were called had entersd the capital.
Then opened the gloomiest page in the
history of France. On one side were
the vandals of the commune, doing their
best to burn Paris to the ground, muir.
dering innocent hostages, unchaining all
the horrors of civil war; exhibiting all
the heroism, every act of ferocity and
cowardicc, into which human nature when
unrestrained will rush. On the other
side were the troops, irritated by the
struggle, humiliated by the duty that
had Sallen upon them, exasperated
by so many horrors. Torrents of fratri-
cidal blood deluged the pavement of the
great French city. While the struggle
was going on, there could be seen arriv-
ing at Versailles, escorted by the soldiers,
gangs of prisoners, the savage rabble
who had plundered and spread contiagra-
ton, and who, in blind obedience to
their leaders, had committed unparalleled
acts of barbarism. They arrived on the
great Place d'Armes, under bright and
broiling sun. The persplration ran from
their faces, blackened with gunpowder
and dust. Their clothes were in tatters,
smelling of smoke and petroleum. There
were women, with features distorted by
hatred and anger; precocious children,
casting stealthy look around them; and
old men, crushed by defeat, with patches
of clotted blood on their white hair and
boards, marking them out as apostles OF
revolution. Some, who had been jolted
amidst the lumber heaped on the carts,
were taken out and put fiat on the
ground. They lay, stiff and motionless,
with their eyes wide open and staring,
as if, after long fit of madness, they
had lost all consciousness of an outer
sunrld. The cantivea uera separatod into
