Actions speak louder than words ever do:
You can't eat your cake and hold on 10 IL too
When the cat is away, then the littlelmice play;
Where there is "a will there Is always way.
There's no use crying DER milk that is split;
No accuser is needed by conscience of guilt.
There must be some fire wherever is smoke:
The pitcher goes oft to the well till it's broke.
By rogues falling out honest men get their due;
Whoever it fits, he must put on the shoe
All work and no play will make Jack dull boy;

And pride always goeth before 4 sad fall.
Fast bind and fast find, have two strings to your

Contentment is better than riches, we know.

A miss is as good as a mile Is TO you.
You speak of the devil, he's sure to appear;
You can't make silk pnrse from out OF SOW

Our neighbors in Phenix are very sensitive. 0le oi the local papers there ieyo cd about page and halt last week to the unprecedented flood that visited that town, when the editor was waited on during the day by committee and requested no, to allow his mail and ex- press edition to go ou, for fear 1t might hurt the town. IL has been nosieea- bic fact for long time that the ruth hurts Phenix worse than anything else. She complains when any mention 1 is made of her excessive heat Tn the 1 SUI inner and complaining when the truth is to Id about her floods.
 The legislative proceedings as they appear in our Phenix contemporaries contains very little information. Bills with few exceptions are referred to solely by their number, and when one reads that Council Bill No. 100 has been introduced and referred to the committee on saw logs, he knows no more than he did before. Occasional exceptions arc noted to the rule and in dications given as 10 the nature of the bill.
 The city council held meeting this afternoon and decided to have an official survey made to determine where the ploper channel of the creek should be with q view of erecting levees to confne 1t in the alley between the two streets. C. B. Foster was engaged to make the survey and report 10 the water commit tee, which wilI report to the council at a meeting to be held next Monday, March 2d.

Grazing Lands.

Arizona has been called the "stock,
 mans paradise, and has not been in. apily named. Alreaoy the breeding ant ta,tening of horned cattle is one of tn,
 chief industries, and is second only tt
 mining in the amount of capital invested The county possesses every natural ad- vantage for the successful prosecution ot the business. The cimale is perfect, the grass abundant and nutritious. and
 the facilities for reaching a market are
 ample, There is an entire absence oi epidemic or other diseases peculiar to stock in other countries. The territory may be called one grand grazing ground; and in nearly every country there is n thick earpe, of grass. The black and white gramma is the principal grass of the territory.
 It is sweet, juicy and prime beef maker. and cattle keep fat upon iliduring all seasons of the year. The winter and summer rains give two distinct growths during the year-an advantage over other grazing regions which stockmen can readily apprt cia,e.

A Monster Relic of the Chicago Fire

The builders of the new Masonic Temple, corner of State and Randolph streets. have large elephant on their hands in the shape of fire relic that is by far the biggest thing yet unearthed. The site of Hall & Kimbark's big iron warehouse was at this point at the time of the great fire of 1871, and their ;m- mense stock of bar iron melted into one great lump, which sank and imhedded itself in the earth too deep for discovery in ordinary building operations. But when the foundation for this great building was being prepared this man. moth bunch of bar iron was unearthed. The mass is estimated to weigh twenty eight tons, and how 10 move it is a problem that is troubling the contractors. It is curiosity worth seeing. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

People of Prescott have complained of the isolation caused by the recen, floods and few have criticised those in charge of the Prescott and Arizona Cen. tral for not establishing communication sooner. The railroad employees have
 apparently been doing everything possi-
 ble to make repairs to their track as soon
 as possible. From reports from all over
 the country it would seem that Prescott
 has not fared as badly as some other towns, and had mails been sent out to
 Prescott Junction nothing would have
 been gained, as trans have not been running on the Atlantic and Pacific. Indications now are that traffic has been resumed there or will be soon, and it IS hoped that communication will be es- tablished by the railroad people between Prescott ann ,heA. & P. If it is found impossible to get a train through, stage line should be established until repairs can be made to the track. The Phenix and Maricopa railroad has been com pelled to do this for Phenix on account of damage to their road.

 The Gila river bridge on the Phenix and Maricopa railroad was left on dry ground. the river having cut new chan nel around it.
 Damage to the Pnenix md ,Maricopa railroad IS so great that II IS estimated that II wlll be three months before a train IS run over 1t again. In the mean time stage line has been put on the road between Phenix and Maricopa.
 Los Angeles was shut of from mail communication with the restof the world for week.
 The bridge at Florence was swept away.

Pinal creek was swollen to an unprece- dented height from rains on the Pinal mountains. William Middleton, we'll known and we'll thought of citizen, was caught by the waters and drowned. He was nearly 8 years of age and an old and tried frontiersman.

STRONG HoRsERADIsA.

It Did Everything in Horse Language
! Except Secure a Customer.
The young man had been groom at
the riding school and had also been en-
ployed at a sale stable. Still, the knowl-
| edge that he had acquired at these places
did not serve him we'll. now that he
was engaged as clerk in a grocery store
ON Sixth avenue.
/ One day young lady came in the
store and asked the clerk if they had
any horseradish.
! "Hossradish? l should say we have"
exclaimed the young man. Eve prob
/ ably have the most remarkable hoSs
radish in the market" and he pulled
down a bottle, covered with the dust of
ages, and rolled it along the counter.
'Obserye it's gait" he continued with
enthusiasm. There's hossradish that
Lean recommend. There's an A No.
family hossradish. l can warrant it to
work anywhere: 1t will drag a family
carriage, OH heavy track, in 2:40."
| The young lady looked at the clerk
with some astonishment. She wanted
the horseradish, however, and ventured
to ask if it was strong.
"Strong?" echoed the clerk: 'why, it's
as strong AS "a steam stump puller. It's
the strongest hossradish that ever looked
through collar. You can take it right
out of your phaeton, after a whirl around
Central park, hitch it to stone boat,
, and if it doesn't pull more than loco
motive I'll knock it in the head. Fact
is, it's a heavy draught hossradish, with
the swiftnesS and endurance of Salvador.
81 meant to ask, - said the young lady,
somewhat confused tsif it is sharp
does 1T bite?
''Bite? No; it's gentle as sucking
dove; wouldn't bite the smallest child.
1t seems kind o. sad like when it has to
take the bit in it's mouth. Oh, no; it
wouldn't bite a piece of molasses candy
And kick? You couldn't make that
hossradish kick if you tickied it with a
straw" and the clerk punched the bottle
in the ribs as proof of its excellent dis
position.
The young lady did not seem entirely
satisfied with the recommendation, and
took the bottle up to examine it more
closely.
That's right, said the affable young
man; Tlook it over carefully. Examine
it closely for ringbone, SPAWN, quarter
crack, heaves, thumps. mumps, bumps.
dumps, grumps or anything else under
the shining sun. If you find it is not as
sound as dollar, the hossradish is yours
without costing you red cent. and with
a nice set of silver mounted harness
thrown in. Shall i wrap it up?'
The young lady said she would not
take it along now, but might. call later
with halter to lead it housewives
and Driver.
