It has been reported that the pea nut crop is in fair condition. It will be abaut 65 per cent of last years crop, which was about the largest ever grown, 5,OO0,O0O bushels being harvested, But the peanut growers are far from being happy. The present price at first hands varies from 2 to 3 cents. Peanuts grow in few counties in southeastern Virginia. Middle Tennessee and N. Carolina, and the crop is uncertain and expensive. There is Nation al Peanut Union which is urging sundry measures to protect the growers, one of which is the advice of the Farmers Alliance, to hold their produce and not let specula- tors gobble all the profts.-New York Sun.

There are number of cattle buy CTS in the city from the north. The rain however, has caused the price to go up and purchases are not very numerous.-P.R, Fully, pioneer rancher of Arizona, visited the city Saturday, combining business and pleasure. N[r. Fully reports the recent storms of unusual severity in his section, and that a number of cattle lave been lost. However" said Mir. Fully, "the rains have been our salvation. We can afford to lose a few head of cat tie by a cause, the effect of which will be the financial making of us. Such a successful season as is as- sured us by the heavey precipita- ton was never known in Arizona"

The prisoners of the Territorial prison are turning out some beauti- ful and artistic work in carvings of Big Bug onyx. Many of the speci- mems exhibited at the prison are really works of art, and are sold at ridiculously low figures, when the labor expended thereon is taken in to consideration. The money re- ceiyed from the sale of the onyx and also the walking sticks of horn, native woods and leather, as well as hand made laces, is turned in to the credit of the prisoners, so when their term of Imprisonment is completed they have some money to begin life in the outside world aneW.-Yuma Sentinel.

The Sense of Touch.

Of all the sensss we possess, the
 sense of touch is at once the most
 complex and the least understood
 Blindness and deafness are too com
 mon, and we can all more or less
 appreciate the nature and extent of these dire afflictions. But who ever thinks how he would be affected by being deprived of the capacity to feel, inability to distinguish by touch between smoothness and roughness, heat and cold, or by an impaired power 10 receive the vari- ous sensations of pain and pleasure which reach us through the surface of the body? How is it that the same finger which tells us that a substance is hard or soft tells us al- so that 1t is hot or cold, smooth or rough, long or short, even though we do not behold 1t with our eyes? Have we, as some physiologists aver, a sixth sense, that of tempe rature? Ii not, how comes it that a single touch of the finger conveys to the brain, in the same instant, three or tour distinct impressions, for the substance in question may be wet or dry as we'll as hot or cold, hard or soft, rough or smooth? But the physiologists cannot tell us the "why" of these things; they only know that the sensations so convey ed are separable, and that the routes they travel before they reach the brain are not the same, Obser- vations on this important subject, besides being highly interesting, both psychologically and physio- would be it, seems to me, of considerable practical import ance in their relation to the train ing of blind persons.-St. Louis Republic.

Gatarino Garza, the ubiquitous, was born in the City of Mexico, and raised in Brownsville, Texas. He was educated in the University of Mexico and after receiving his diplo- ma, entered the Army of Mexico. On account of an act of insubor- dinatlon, he was obliged to fly to Texas. In Palo Pinto he married the daughter of a rich Mexican Texan and started the publication of paper which severely attacked the Mexican government. In Rio Grande City he killed two custom house inspectors, wounded a man named Sebree and received flesh wound himself. On recovering he went to Laredo where he became involved in the difficulty which re- suited in the assassination of Gener- al Y. Martinez. Garza afterwards appeared in Duval, Texas, where he established another paper against the Mexican government and his last circus has been the revolution of which he is at present chief. Garza is a man of thirty-fve years, of robust constitution and six feet high and of martial presence.-No- gales Advertiser.

Tombstone with all her fires is still good camp. There are many chloriders working there and ship ments of ore from there the past year have averaged over 1900 tons month. This is a good showing for camp that has no boom on. Besides the numerous claims being worked for the ore that is taken out for shipment, there is a number of claims being developed and all that is needed to make the old camp boom as of yore, is railroad connec- tions so that transportation will be cheaper. There are probably more good mines in that locality than in other places in Arizona and it will no doubt not be long before some extensive work is done.-Phenix Gazette.

The court may again order a sec ond trial for William Doheney, the young man who stands charged with having killed his father. It will be remembered that Doheney has been tried once before, the jury failing to come to an agreement as to his guilt or innocence. The kill ing excited considerable attention and when he was arraigned for trial, the prisoner claimed that he did the shooting in self defense while he was protecting his mother from an assault made on her by the elder Doheney.-Phenix Republican.

The prospector is the veritable "Wandering Jew," his tireless foot prints are marked on the mountain peaks of every mineral-capped range between the Atlantic and the Pacific; time changes nearly all things but the prospector goes on forever. His unwavering faith and his unquestionable courage have been the means of developing the great bullion producers of tine world. They are the pioneers of western civilization, neither desert nor Indian can deter or drive these men off their ground.

\ Cheer Place for a Fish.

] Travellers in Central Africa dur
 ing the hot season often follow the
 dry beds of rivers and creeks foI
 miles to obviate the necessity oi
 cutting their way through heavy jungles which everywhere abound. Africa is we'll known to be the na-
 tive land of many extraordinary things, animate as well as inani-
 mate. This being the case, the first explorers paid no attention to the
 thousands of balls of hardened
 mud which were strewn about in ali profusion in the beds of these dried up streams, One day, however, when a detachment of the Cameron expedition were exploring what in the wet season would have been a tributary of the Nile, woodman cracked one of the balls and was surprised beyond measure to see a live fish tumble out of the centre of the ball and fall gaping and foundering in the sand. This cu- rious discover led the explorers to make an investigation, whereupon every hardened ball of earth. wheth- CT large or small, was found to con tained an odd-shaped specimen of the fnny tribe. These spherical mud "houses," which on account of their likeness to the earthen cases fabricated by many species of caterpillars and other insects and worms have been called "cocoons, are perforated by many small holes and lined with a mucous from the fish's body, the mucous keeping the dried ball damp upon the inside, the holes being used for breathing purposes.
 For want of more euphonious name this queer species of piscus has been dubbed "mudish," which is expressive of the creatures culi- ous habits if not musical and high-sounding cOgnomen.
 The remarkable instinct which | causes the mudfish to roll himself in ball of mud when the dry sea son approaches is a wonderful provision of nature, intended sole ly, it would seem, to prevent the extinction of the species. The most interesting fact about this fish is that it breathes by. means of gills when in its native element and by means of lungs during its yolun tary imprisonment in the mud CO., coon.-St. Louis Republic.

The Supia Indians, located in Cat aract canon, north of Williams, are in luck. They have received a lot of clothing from some kind of an Indian aid society in Washington City. The bucks are all fitted out in the cast-oif clothing of Washing ton dudes-pIug hats and dress suits. The squaws all wear corsets and the finery lately worn by the belles of that city. The allotment of clothing is rapidly changing hands, owing to the gambling in dulged in by the members of the tribe, and it will all be in the pos session of a few in a short time. In addition to the above windfall, the Indian bureau has sent lot of seeds and implements and a com potent man to instruct them how to plant and cultivate their lands. These Indians have for years culti- yated small tract of land in the canyon, and they can in all proba- bility give their instructor good many pointers. They are a lazy, nomadic tribe, and it will be but a short time until everything sent them will be wasted. There is not an Indian tribe in Northern Arizo- ma that needs help, as all the indi vidual members can find employ ment if they will work, and sympa- thy and aid are alike thrown away on either the Wallapias or the Su- pias.-Coconino Sun.

CattIemen Organize.

A live stock association was or
 ganized at Phoenix Friday last, anC
 the following officers were elected
 D. L. Murray, president; J. E. Bark vice-president; II. c. Orme, Geo Kemper, s. O. Huston and $. F Frasler were appointed a commit tee on rules and bylaws, to serve in conjunction with the officers The meeting, after some prelimi- nary work, adjourned to meet on Monday. The meeting on Monday was held at the city hall and was largely attended, much interest be- ing manifested. The association has for it's object simply self-pro- lection, and this by legal means, but just how to do this they have not yet fully determined.
 One thing, however, seemed to be the unanimous sentiment of the meeting, and that was that sheep men must not bring sheep into the territory who have no pasturage in- terests here and do not help bear the burden of taxation. The ex- cellent pasturage of Arizona togeth- CT with the mildness of climate and freedom from diseases, which affect sheep in other localities, has attract ed the attention of sheep men of California, Sonora, New Mexico and in fact throughout the entire northwest, and thousands of sheep are headed in this direction. The cattlemen are determined to pro- test against the incursions as the ranges, wherever there is sufficient water, is already fully stocked.
 "The sheep men who are already here," said prominent cattleman, "have a right to fair share of the public domain, and cattlemen will never raise an objection to this, but driving of large focks to eat out our ranges and then shift to pas lures new will be vigorously op- posed. The cattlemen are thor oughly awakened, and although the territorial laws are quite insufficient for their protection, there will be sufficient pressure brought to bear on the next legislature 10 compel them to pass the necessary laws for protection of the graziers of the Territory. To accomplish this a thorough organization is necessary and meetings will be called imme- diately to organize in every locality where there are cattlemen. In the meantime they are silent as to what methods will be accepted for imme- diate protection till the next legis- lature meets, except that men will be selected wherever it is possible, that represent the interest of the stock raisers of the Territory and the sheep and cattlemen will most undoubtedly work together to ac- complish this end."-Southwestern Stockman.
