struments, ia still admirably equipped
and is presided over by Observer Bur-
rows, who being chief of the territorial
weather correspondents, ls allowed an
assistant. 1t is pity that Phoenix re-

vantages, for immigration and pros
perity, is not better provided for, in this
respect.
The mum Der of people who regularly
read the popular monthly magazines
and look entirely through the pictorial
periodicals, while standing at the
counters of the stationery stores and
without investing a cent, is surprising
| ly large. | have often marvelled at the
patience and forbearance of brothers
St. Claire and Irvine with these people
of leisure and literary taste.
Oliver Sumner Teale, formerly an
Arizonan, but now conspicuous in New
York society, was one OF dozen
| prominent people who received lately
request from an eastern paper to define
Gladly" His answer was character

were more or less lengthy, he simply

By the middle of this week. we will
have the first of Novem Der, the season
of the year when in the east. nature
assumes her most melancholy aspect.
There, already the glory of autumn has
gone from the trees and left them to
SILVER in their nakedness as the winds
moan and howl through their denuded
branches. Here, the dayss are yetflled
with warm sunshine, roses are in bloom
in the gardens, many OF the fields are
green with alfalfa, in which the herds
of stock may be seen feeding on all
sides, their bodies alone visible by rea-
son of its luxuriance. The morning
airs are mild, pure and deeply invigor-
ating. The streets are busy with peo-
pie none overburdened with clothing,
many yet coatless. The lightest robes
still suffice for carriages; gloves for
warmth are an unknown quantity.
The best of it all is that this will
continue all winter. We will be visit
air will be nippng aud eager, but of
warm and sunshiny days there will be
no dearth.
Capt. McCasey returned last week
from a business trip to the Harqua
Halas. On the morning OF his arrival,
between the postoffice and his head
quarters in the ellison block, he was &C.
costed by three men, each hav-
ing something to say about furn
ished rooms. As the captain had
heard that by Oct. 1st there
would not be room space enough
in Phoenix to spread blanket, he was
slightly startled.
A couple OF good Republicans were
noticed in front of the Phoenix Ma
tional bank laughing heartily over the
following yarn: A New Hampshire
farmer was shearing a sheep. A neigh
Dor approached and observing that the
shearer had begun at the tail of the
animal and was working forward, asked
why he had thus reversed the usual
method. Because" drawled the
Yankee, 81 was dern fool enough tc
vote the Democratic ticket last fall
and Pm ashamed to look the critter in
the face"

E. H. Winters, who returned to Phe
nix last week, presents an appearance
widely different from the popular ides
of man involved in financial embar
easements. The glow OF health rest:
ruddily upon his cheek. He has gained
in flesh and looks altogether rested
contented and as though his digestion
was good. He says that if ever there
was bona fide clearance sale it is the
, one he inaugurates this week. The
mark down is extended to the Mess
branch store.
Phoenix seems to be the Mecca O.
, curbstone merchants. The song OF the
candy puller and the night-lunch and
waffle man has become familiar since
10, these many weeks. The latest &C.
QUESTIONS to the ranks are a popcorn
and peanut vender, who glories in 6
, $3.50 apparatus, and wheel of fortune
with its tempting circle of "costly'
fnery punctuated with a couple o.
greenback dollars, at whose door the
arrow stops, alas, all too seldom.
