The REPUBLICAN is in receipt of a
letter from a young lady, presumably
young, from New York, making inquiry
about the matrimonial possibilities of
Arizona. She is not inquiring on her
own account, Oh no, but for two un-
married lady friends who have heard
and what has not been heard of Ari-
zona-that there is supply of mar
riageable, well-to-do men quite out of
ratio to lovely and manageable ladies.
Our reply to the inquiry must be IN
favorable to the inquirer. In the first
place we are opposed to the press and
matrimonial agencies as matrimonial
mediums in the second place we are
unwilling to become instrumental in
deranging the present matrimonial con-
ditions of the territory and in the last
place we honestly believe the lady
friends of the inquirer would stand no
show until the present manageable
stock of ladies on hand is exhausted.

with. If howev the marshal's esti-
mate of the difficulty is based on that
which attended the taking OF the Visaia

An Alligator's Nest.

Alligators' nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to,which they
can be compared. They average about
4 feet in height and about feet in di-
ameter, and are constructed of grasses
and heritage. First the mother gator
deposits one layer of eggs on mortar
like floor, and having covered this
with a stratum of mud and heritage
about s inches thick lays another set
of eggs upon that, and so on to the top,
there being commonly from 100 to 200
eggs in the nest. With their tails the
parents then beat down the tall grass
and weeds to prevent the approach of
unseen enemies. The female watches
her eggs until they are Matched by
the heat of the sun, and then takes her
brood under her own care, defending
them and providing for their subsis-
tence. DR.. Lutzemburg, of New Or
leans, once packed one of these nests
for shipment to st. Petersburg, but the
young Matched out before they were
started on their long journey, and were
kept about the doctors premises, rum
ming all over the house, up and down
sta irs, whining like young puppies.
