Pear Culture in Arizona.
]. K. Glassford in phrnix Gazette.

society ana lt was published Tn one or more of our city papers but now am prepared to reafiirm all l have said and more, as time has demon strated what l have said to be true.
 l am satisfied that l then was right and indeed the half was not told. l now say that this is one of the best pear countries that there is in the United States as in most of the east ern states pear trees blight, and in a few years pear culture will cease to be, and here and on the Pacific Coast will be the only pear producing coun- try, for here there is no blight at all nor has the pear any enemies here. When l was in Carthage, Mo-, last February l met with the liorticult- ural Society and l asked that society what would it be worth to them as fruit growers if they could raise pears there withoutblight, and alMr. Russel, a bright horticulturist, said that ten acres of such land without blight. planted Ogood pears, would make one rich. Here we have millions of such land, of the finest quality and that where pears bear good crops every year and where the pear is of the best quality and where the pear trees are long lived and where probably all varieties grow and do we'll
 Why not plant and cultivate the pear even more than we are doing and get rich or at least live we'll; but some people are always negative, they are always saying no to such things. When l came into this valley only a few years ago some said pears did not grow we'll here and others said toma- toes wouldn't grow here and others said cabbage wouldn't grow here, and they were very much mistaken for we raise the finest tomatoes and cabbage and strawberries here, and as for pears they are the finest that grow anywhere, but some men hardly be- lieye and they continue to croak or to say no to most every thing.
 Every man is not cut out for a horticulturist and in this we see the Divine wisdom of our God, for men need to follow different callings; some are good for stock raising and some other branches of work, and in fact there are but few real horticulturists. for man must love tree and fruit and flowers and must have certain type of mind in order to succeed in the cultivation of fruit and trees. For instance l knew in the great state of Missouri, a man who planted an orchard of eighty acres and culti- yated it well and some said he was a fool others said he was wise and some followed his example and planted large orchards and only part of the men succeeded, not because the coun- try was not good for producing apples but the fault was in the men, so 1 say let men first be horticulturists and then they will succeed. But why cannot any man succeed? Because it is notin them; but all might learn but they will not.
 But as to the varieties to plant, for there is great difference in the quail ity and taste of pears. Some are most worthless and tastleSs and there are many varieties that are very good.

 Besides all this, there was a vast quan- tity of solid gold ornaments 200 massive finger and earrings; rich chains 80 of these, if I remember-83 very large and heavy cruci6xes; five gold cen sers of great value; a prodigious golden punch bowl, ornamented with richly chased vine leaves and bacchanalian figures, with two sword handles ex- quisitely embossed, and many other smaller articles which cannot recollect. The weight of these valuables exceeded $50 pounds avoirdupois, and in this esti- mate have not included 197 superb gold watches; three of the number being worth each $500, if $1. Many of them were very old, and as timekeepers valueless, the works having suffered more or less from corrosion, but all were richly jew eled and in cases of greath worth.
 We estimated the entire contents of the chest that night at $1, SOC, ,OOO, and upon the subsequent disposal of the trinkets and jewels Ia few being retained for our own use) 1t was rouna that we had greatly undervalued the treasure.
 When at length we had concluded our examination and the intense excitement of the time had in some measure sub- sided, Legrand, who saw that was dy- ing with impatience for solution of this most extraordinary riddle, entered into a full detail of all the circumstances con- nected with it.

Still the sheer at my graphic powers irritated me-for I am consid- cred good artist-and therefore, when you handed me the scrap of parchment was about to crumple it up and throw it angrily into the fire"
 The scrap of paper, you mean, ' said I.
 No; it had much of the appearance of paper, and at first supposed it to be such, but when came to draw upon it l discovered it at once to be piece of very thin parchment. It was quite dirty, you remember We'll, as I was in the very act of crumpling it up my glance fell urOY, 4ka sketch et which
