Tobacco In the Arid West.

The culture of tobacco is beginning to attract attention in the irrigated region. A very intelligent paper read recently before a California audience byJ D. Culp. is equally applicable to Southern Arizona:
 "The opportunities for development of the tobacco industry in this state are recognized to be superior to any elsewhere in the United States" said Mir. Culp. ''The peculiar quality of of tobacco lands here renders manur- ing unnecessary, which item is say ing of about sl0O per acre as compared with cigar tobacco producing lands in the east.
 "The absence of frosts during the growing season. together with the long, dry summer. renders two crops q year certainty, and the difference in cost of cultivation is five to one in favor of the arid region Again. the tobacco industry is here the natural companion of the horticultural indus try Nine-tenths of the young or chards of our state can be successfully employed in tobacco raising in con junction with tree growing, and not only thus increase enormously the productivehess of the land devoted to fruit culture. but utilize the necessary cultivation of the orchard itself in growing a tobacco crop immediately among the young trees at nominal cost, and secure a quality of leaf very largely enhanced by the protection it receives from the surrounding trees.
 "To illustrate the success tobacco growing is now finding in this region it may be stated that contract has been made for 60,00O pounds of California cigar leaf at fifty cents per pound, and liberal estimates place the cost of growing an acre of tobacco at not more than $50 The average yield may be stated at 1000 to ,500 pounds of cured leaf, having an average value, outside of cigar wrappers. of from 20 to 2 cents per pound. This shows an acreage profit of from S20O to s3O0. It is needless to say that no other crop win equal it in steady and reliable profit

The Kansas City Times prints the following story of Abraham Lincoln, told by Senator Noorhees in an inter- view:
 Speaking of the numberless stories l recall one he once told during the argument in q lawsuit. The opposing lawyer was d good deal of glib talker but not reckoned as deep. profound or much of thinker. He was rather reckless and Irresponsible in his speeca making also, and would say anything to a jury which would happen to enter his head. Tn his address to the jury, referring oall these. Lincoln said
 My friend on Inc other side is all right. or would be all right. were it not for the physico-mentaI peculiarity am about to chronicle His habit of which you have witnessed very painful specimen in his argument to yOn in this caSe-of reckless assertions and statements without grounds need not be imputed to him asa moral fault or as telling of a moral blemish. He cant help t. For reasons which, gen tlemen of the jury you and have no time to study here. as deplorable as they are surprising, the oratory of the gentleman completely suspends all action of his mind. The moment he begins to talk his mental operations cease. never knew of but one thing which compared with my friend in this particular That was a small steamboat Back in the days when performed my part as q keelDoa anau l made the acquaintance of a trihing little steamboat which used to bdsGe and pun and,whecze about in the San gamon river It had five foot boiler and seven foot whistle. and every time il whistled it stopped.

A CONFEDERATE COMMONWEALTH.

Arizona Rcpublican.l

Arizonans may not generally know of the territory's connection with the late confederacy or it may not be generally known that it had any con- nection at all
 Among the many periodicals which come to Judge Bader is the Confed- crate War Journal published in New York, and devoted to information concerning matters of the confedcr- acy. In an issue received yesterday under an article headed "Organiza- tion of the Territory of Arizona there was published proclamation by the president of the confederate states.
 In none of the histories of the events of the late rebellion is any mention made of the organization of the territory though it appears from the proclamation that such an act was passed by the confederate con gress. The following is a copy of the proclamation:
 Proclamation by the President of the Confederate States of America:
 WHEREAS, An act of congress Of the Confederate States of America entitled An Act to Organize the Territory of Arizona" was approved by me on the 18th of January, 4. D.. 1862, and
 WHEREAS. It is therein declared that the provisions of the act are sus- pended until the president of the Confederate States shall issue his proclamation declaring the act to be in full force and operation and shall proceed to appoint the officers therein provided to be appointed in and for the said territory,
 Now therefore. 1. Jefferson Davis. president of the Confederate States of America do issue this my proclama- tion, declaring said act to organize ! the Territory of Arizona to be in full ! force and operation and that l have 1 proceeded to appoint the officers ! therein provided to be appointed in and for said territory.
 Given under my hand and the seal i of the Confederate States of America at Richmond. this fourteenth day of February, A. D., 1862.
 IsEALl JEFFERSON DAVIS.
 By the president,
 k. NJ. r. HUNTER. Sect. of War.
 No mention is made of the officers appointed by President Davis and yesterday Judge Baker wrote to the War Journal asking that list of the appointments be published in it's next issue. It is a matter of local unwrt- ten history that Grant Oury, who was afterwards delegate to Washington went to Richmond and applied for a seat in the confederate congress, but upon what authority is not clearly understood.
 By the congress of the United States the territory was not separated from New Mexico until in 1864 and in December of that year President Lin coln appointed John \. Goodwin its 1 first governor.
 fBut the territory of Arizona ere ated by the Confederacy was not the same in area as the present IerritCry. ! The confederate division line of New Mexico ran east and west. instead of north aud south aS now. By that ar ran9ement the Confederate territory Of .lsizona, had it stood. would have included the southern rartS of New !

A Delightful and Health Giving Location.

-ATlLDid l> ollc or lilc idltci dliil new est additions to the towns of the Uni- ted States: yet it is already widely known and ail over the country in- valids are looking toward the place as well suited for place of residence for health seekers. The altitude is l450 feet above the sea level and the climate is dry and pleasant during the entire year. During the months of June. July and August the average temperature is about S5 degrees, but but there is SO little humidity in the atmosphere there is little or no incon- yenience experienced. The heat is not oppressive, and during these months it is much more pleasant than in the Atlantic scaboard cities.
 This pleasing semi-tropical atmos- phere is probably owing to the sur rounding physical conditions. To the north and east high ranges of noun tainS protect the Great Casa Grande valley. of which it is the center. from the chilling winds of the central re- zion. while across the open country to the southwest, balmy breezes from the Gulf of California, not far distant, blow to temper the air and moderate the heat, giving an equilibrium to the climate that cannot fail to benefit the eneryated health seeker.
 While three of the summer months are warm during the day, the nights are always cool. This is on account of the raritied condition of the atmos- phere which becomes instantly cool on the setting of the sun.
 Hence it is always comfortable to sleep under clothing during the nights of June July and August.
 The fall, winter and spring months ~an be compared with the Italian cline, little or no frost. Flowers bloom during the entire winter grass is green and much of the shrubbery retains its foliage.
 It is plain to he seen that such a climate must be health restoring.
 IL is fact worthy of note that many hundreds of people who come here in the last stages of pulmonary troubles recover in a short time 50 that they are enabled to engage in business. Many of the most progress i've, pushing and wealthy business men of Southern Arizona, left their northeastern homes and came here as confirmed inyalids with the hope of dying easily. They would not now die for ten times what they are worth.

Base Balls by the Million.

Glow many base balls are used up in
tn" United States in the course OF q
year ?"
LOW do you expect me to answer %
question like that z asked the base ball
manager. Up in the hundreds of
thousands, | should think. Nearly all
OF them are made in Philadelphia and
Natlck, Nj ,Ssa ,huse Is. Two great con-
Germs IN those cities turn them out and
other firms buy from them, printing
their own trademarks on the covers.
All the league clubs get their balls for
nothing, the advertisement they give to
a brand by using it being considered
an equivalent. This is an important
item, inasmuch as half a dozen base
balls are often destroyed in single
game.
"How are base balls made q
They are made by girls. If you
will dlssect a base ball you will find
that Its internal structure is quite elab-
crate. Around a spherical cone of the
best rubber is carefully wrapped GER
tam amount of yarn. When the ball
has thus grown to about two-thirds of
the size it is to be, leather cover is
stitched on with q needle and waxed
thread. Then more yarn is wound
upon it until it is found to turn the
scales at precisely the right point Ii
nally the outer cover of horse hide is
sewn on, and the ball, after being
stamped and again weighed to make
sure that it is Just five ounces, is
wrapped in a tinfoil and put in paste
board box for market
There we've no such base balls in
the olden times.
No; the base ball of to-day was not
invented until 1875. And, by the way,
the inventor never got q cent for his
patent. Twenty years ago u ball was
made with a core OF leather strips one
ounce IN weight, wrapped with yarn
and covered. This was found too live
Iy, and so a little sphere of nodded
rubber of finest quality was substituted
for u core, The trouble with u bali
thus made was that it could not be de-
pended on for any given degree of
elasticity. No two balls would be lust
alike in this re pect, however carefully
they were constructed, and each par
tlcular ball varie from day to day, ac-
cor,llng rs the weather was dry OF
damp. The inner cover now employed
has the effect of regulating the elias
ticity Of the ball, at the same time
keeping it compact and in shape.
Cheap base balls are made of poor yarn
and rubber scraps pressed into pulp,
the lower grade being composed of
not ing more than melted remnants of
rubber shoes
