Tho '.Life Of Con. sherman,r

The enterprising Pacific Publishing
 Co., of Portland and San Francisco, are again to the front. This time it Is with
 the "Life of General Sherman" written by the deceased generals fellow warrior and bosom friend. Major General How ard, assisted by that most popular of
 all biegraphers, W. Fletcher Johnson.
 author of "The Johnstown Flood" sud
 the"Life of Sitting Bull and the Indian
 War" also brought out on this Coast by the Pacific Publishing Ce--A sIxsss
 fui nation is at all times ready to honor
 the menory of her brave sons who, dur
 ing life have followed the Stars and
 Stripes upon the gory field of battle;
 and this is particularly the case with
 the last of the great War Heroes who has just been summoned by the grim call of death to throw off this mortal coil, full of years; full of honor; full of glory; full of the love, affection and gratitude of his fellow citizens; full of everything, indeed, that goes to ensure an enviable immortality to the memory of the departed
 This beautiful work, just issued by our friends, the Pacific Publishing Co.,, will be no mean factor in keeping green for many years to come the story of the late generals early life, bis great war record at Bull Run, at Shiloh, ct Memphis, atvicksburg, at Chattanooga, at Knoxville, at Missionary Ridge, ct Atlanta, and last but very far from the least, that glorious and immortal "March to the Sea-" the generalship and military grandeur of which has probably never been surpassed in the annals of warfare. All these matters are most graphically and wildly dealt with by the able authors; and when it is remembered that General Howard has, with the consent of the late gen. erals family, had access to all the pri vate diaries and co respondence of General Sherman for the purpose of enabling him to do justice to the sub feet he ha taken in hand, there can De no doubt but that the book under notice Is an authentic and reliable bi- ography of the deceased soldier. It is illustrated by portraits, battle scenes, etc., from end to end. The steel plate engraving of the late Geparsl from photograph taken just before his last illness in his generals uniform is very fine likeness, and a masterpiece of the engrsver's art.
 The book should find it's way into every patriotic home in ths country. See the publishers advertisement aa another column.

Ari1ona's Timber Land.

The extent of the timher belt of this
 territory is very little known outside of
 our own people Many people imagine
 Arizona region oi treeless plains, bare l and bsrrtn mountains; but the fact is that few countries of the west have
 heen so generously endowed by an abundant timber supply; and the mag
 niicent forests Of pine, oak and cedar in the Mogollon, the Sierra Blanca, the San Francisco, the Santa Catalina, the Chiricahau, and other ranges, are sur
 passed by few st ates or territories west of the Missouri Nearly all the lum.
 Der required ia the construction of the
 Mexican Central railroad, came from the forests of Northern Arizona and
 Los Angeles.
 The traelesS plains of Southern Cali
 fornia, as well as the valley of the Rio Grande down to El Paso, receive the larger portion of their lumber supplv from the mills in the San Francisco mountains.
 From reliable data at hand. i, is estimated that no. less than l5OOo square miles of the entire area of Ari. zona is covered with heavy growth of timber. This gives nearly 10000 GOO acres Of woodland ThiS great timber belt may be said to extend in north. east and southwest direction from the 36th parallel to the line of Sonora fol- lowing in it's course the princinaI mountain ranges. 1t is not continuous the timber being found on the summi,s and sides of the highest elevations. The largest and most compact body of tim ter in the territory is ;n the Mogcllon forests.
 It begins at San Francisco Peak. and l extends In southwesterly direction almost to the s3d parallel. It's extreme | length is 200 miles, and it's average | width about 90, making 10000 square miles, or 6,400,0OO acres. Here is a body of magnificent pine equal in ex- tent to The combined area of New Jer- sey aud DelawA arger than Massachu- setts, and double jhe extent of Connec- tieut.--Ex. l

Tss,imo.la, Concert.

l The Concert given last evening by
 the Congregational choir to Rev. K. D
 Wyckoof attracted good audience
 The programme was very interesting
 and the various pieces well rendered by
 those participating in it. The choir is
 composed of the following ladies sud gentlemen. sopranos, Mesdames s. P.
 Behan. Nettie Cage and Miss Jean Sny- der; altos, Mesdames R. If. Burmister, J. J. Fisher and E. D. Wyckof; ten.
 ors, E. P. Clark, M. E. Morin and B. H.
 Lincoln; basses, D. Nj. Martin, H. D
 Aitken and NJ. B. Hazeltine; organist.
 Professor Ludwig Thomas. Farewell
 to the Forest" (by rsquest). "The Sky
 Lark," and Damascus Triumphai March" were rendered by the choir in very effective and pleasing manner. The singers showed very careful train ing on the part of Mir. Wyckoff. MT.
 Wyckoff and Professor Thomas gave two piano and organ duets. which elicited great applause from the au- dience, as did also an instrumental solo and vocal solo by Miss Pearl Hutch insou. "Man the Life Boat" and Daddy" were sung by Mir. Wyckof, the latter of which brought forth an encore from the audience. Mir. Wyckoff sings in perfect time, has beautiful voice which IS under complete control. and he is without exception the best baritone that Prescott has ever had. A trio on the violin. organ and piano, by H. D. Aitken, Rev. E. D. Wyckof and Professor Thomas was beautifully rem dered. In rendering the piano solo, "Etude de Concert" Professor Thomas excelled all previous efforts of his lie, and the house rang with applause until he favored the audience with another selection. As a pianist, Professor Thomas has few superiors.
