rains during tho summer, which
made water plentiful for irrigating
purposes, and the. result is good
crops Of grain and fruit. The april
cot crop was heavy and ripened In
June. There was also u heavy crop
of figs, which ripcned early in the
season. The first grapcs,came into
market about the middle OF July,
and there has been an abundance
ever since. The raisin crop was
very heavy. Ne know of ono man
who marketed eleven carloads of
cured raisins Oft of eighty acres Of
vines and realized about $4,000
for his crop. This beats any coun-
try we ever heard Of for melons.
The season runs from about the
10Th of June till Christmas. Lato
corn is looking we'll. Pomgranitcs
are ripe and oranges are about full
grown.
Arizona is coming to tho front as
gold miuing region. There has
been several rich mines opened and
n number OF large stamp mills built
in tho Territory this year. 1t is
thought by many mining men from
Colorado and California that Ari-
zona is the richest gold field in
America, but the great drawback is
tho scarcity of water. There are
many rich placer mines III the Ter
ritory that cannot DO worked on
that account. Il. Il. Brown.

wHYA WIFE CHANGES HER NAME

1t is said that the practice of the
wife assuming the husbands name
ut marriage originated from a
Roman custom and became the
common custom after the Roman
occupation. Thus Julia and Octa-
via, married to Pompey and Cicero,
were called by th5 Romans Julia Of
Pompey, and Octavia Of Cicero, and
in later times married wsmen in
most European countries signed
their names in the same manner,
but omitted the "of." Against
this view may be mentioned that
during the sixteenth and even the
beginning Of the seventeenth cen
tury the usage seems doubtful,
since, we End Catherine parr so
signing herself after she had been
twice married, and wo always hear
Of Lady Jane Grey mot Dudley)
and Arabella Stuart (not Seymour).
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the scriptural
teaching that husband and wife are
one. 1t was decided in the case Of
Bon vs.. Smith, in the reign of
Elizabeth, that n woman by mar
riagc loses her former name and
legally receives the name Of her
husband. -Erchange.

EoKE SMITH AND PENSIONS.


The Secretary OF tho Interior,
having held his peace for as long as
he deemed proper under tho attacks
of the Grand Army politicians,
backed up hy tho Republican
papers, has ut last venturcd on u
few words of explanation and vim
dication. TIE reason Secretary
Smith was made the target Of
attacks by all opposed to ponsIon
reform is very clear. A regard for
truth and dccency indicated that
Commissioner Lochrcn should have
been held responsible for the admin
istration Of his Office, just rs Com
missioner Raum was by the Demo-
Gratis. But the difficulty with the
Grand Army people arose in tho
fact that tho commissioner was
gallant Union soldier, had strong
record as capable and honest
Judge, and that his appointment
was warmly commended by Repub-
licans as we'll as Democrats. 1t
would not do TO credit him with 10
policy Of reforming pension abuses.
Mucn better, IN partisan way, 70
put the responsibility on lIokc
Smith, southern man, and held
up in some quarters as u Confcder,
ato soldier, although when the war
was on he had not entered his teens.
In this dishonest way the impress
sion was given out that the revision
of tho pension roll was in "rcbel"
hands. IL was trump card for u
brief time.
From what Mr.. IIoke Smith says
in explanation and yindic c,tion OF
bis course in this matter it appears
that the "G0-day suspension order"
pending inquiry was issued by Com
missioner I.ochren when tho sccrc-
tary was absent from Washington,
and that IT did not meet his appro-
val. AS a lawyer he believed, set
ting aside other considerations, that
Il pensioner haying once been placed
upon the rolls should have notice
before he was dror ped. lie there
fore modified the order, as he had u
right to do as the superior officer,
so that 1t gave the pensioner the
two or three months not allowed by
the original suspension order to
make his claim good. IL no does
this he is retained IL not, of he
goes.
This suspension order" was the
grounds OF the attacks OH IIokc
Smith by the Grand Army polt;-
clans. Instead Of being his act it
was that OF Comrado Lochreu,
gallant soldier and a good lawyer,
and WAS modified by order Of Hoke
Smith. All the ammunition has
been wasted, and The guns will have
to be charged afresh for an attack
on Commissioners Bochren. In
making this explanation Secretary
Smith says he does not abate for an
instant his purpose Of purging sho
pension rolls Of illegal OF fraudu-
lent pensioners. Thoy will have to
go. "Tho work." he adds, sis
only begun, and its fruits in purg-
ing the pension rolls arc ample for
the efforts put forth. ."-Ptttsburg

A lecture course has been decided
upon by the young people of Forks
vile. The course will CONSIST OF
four entertainments to be given at
different dates during the winter.
For three of the entertainments pop.
ular lecturers will be secured. The
fourth will be given by the Graded
School Literary Society. The first
lecture announced is for Saturday
evening Dec. 80, when Col. L. f.
Copeland, one of the most entertain
ing orators that ever graced plat
form, wilt lecture in the NJ. E.
church.
The people of Forksville and
vicinity should give the lecture
course strong support. This is
the only way whereby it oan be
maintained and the expenses met.
A lecture course is splendid insti-
tuition 10 any town and we trust that
the venture at Forksville may prove
success in every respect.

We are glad to note that there is a
physician who has made the discov-
cry that people dress to warm.
There seems to lie prevailing belief
that all diseases are caught through
the skin and that a person to be
healthy must bear a heavy burden
of clothes day and night. We have
seen men in ulster coats and women
covered with heavy winter shawls
in warm autumn weather. Young
lads are loaded down with heavy
cloathing just as soon as the approach
of winter is heard of. The coming
of the cold makes tho weeklings
shiver. Many OF their fathers who
are living at good old ages, and in
the enjoyment of vigorous health
wore neither overcoats nor UNDER
cloathing until after they had gone
q long way on the road of life. The
very reason that so many diseases
exist and that people generally are
very susceptible to colds is that they
coddle themselves too much in heavy
clothing and overheated rooms. OF
course there la no sloh thing as be-
ing proof against disease but there
are certainly ways of warding off its
attacks.
