Chapter of surpriss..

At Tucson last week the Gazette
 libel case proved a mine of surprises.
 Dunbar and McClintock were cited to appear for contempt in publishing a telsgraphic account of the trial con- taining direct reflection upon the court. The effect of this they sought to eyade by asserting the offensive mat ter had not been included in the tele- gram sent from Tucson, but had been interpolated in the Gazette office at Phoenix. To sift that matter Fred King, the city editor of the Gazette, was summoned to Tucson. While awaiting him defendants pTecipitated another surprise by filing an affidavit for change of venue, charging Judge Sloan with bias and consulting in the case with attorneys for the prosecu- tion. Investigation developed that the affidayits were based upon mere rumor, without foundation. For that breach ofnrespect due the court Dun- bar and his attorney, Judge Barnes, who prepared the aifidavit, were con- signed to jail for contempt of court, under ten days sentence. Mr. Me Clntock withdrew his affidavit and escaped punishment.
 Saturday Mir. Fred King of the Ga zette force, appeared in court, admit ted writing some of the offensive arti- cles, was arrested on charge of crim- inal libel, and was released on ball.
 Saturday writ of habeas corpus for Barnes and Dunbar was issued out of Judge Bakers court at Phe1ix. The writ was returnabls Monday, and on that day the distinguished prisoners were taken into court and argument began on the question of releasing or them, and at last accounts the lawyers were still talking.

Russian Horsss to Remain in America.


 Ina recent issue of the Breeder 's Gazette it was announced that num- Der of the Russian horses had been sold to Mfr. John A. Logan IT,, and Mir. Stokes of New York, and stated that the others would Dc returned to the cEar's domains. Since then Capt. lsmailon has arranged to lsave with Mir. Logan five of the trotting stalIions in addition to the two saddle stallions which were purchased by him. These trotters will be put in charge Of the driver who handles the trotters of Mir. c. Andrews and MT. Logan at the Youngstown track, and next season may see them on the race course. It is probable that upon his return home Capt. Ismailoff will arrange for the appointment of Mir. Logan as the czar's commissioner on horsebrseding in America, and it is not unlikely that Ismailof's visit to this country will shortly result in exportation of quite \ number of American trottcrs ts Rus sia. Thoroughbreds, hackneys and cattle will also probably be included in the exportation. The captain has already ordered q IionAre colt reserved for him from the suckers which he recently saw and admired at Oriole farm. Two Russian grooms go to Ori- ole with the horses and all the pictur- esque paraphernalia with which the horses were shown at Chicago, includ- ing grooms costumes, harness droskl's and express wagon for the beautiful draft horse. MT. Logan expects to make a highly interesting show of these horses in their native harness and vehicles at Madison Square next month.

AKIzOLA.

THK OASIS frequently receives let tsrs of inquiry about Arizols, and as q general answer in reply to such in- suiries, will say that Arizola is town on the Southern Pacific Railway where the Florence Irrigating Canal crosses the track. Three years ago it was a desert; today there is a railway sta tion at which all passenger trains of the Southern Pacific stop regularly, a telegraph office, post office. an ex- press office, hotel, store, school house, printing office, a stock yard and chute for shipping cattle, and a thrifty and enterprising community, with newspaper, TIE OASIS, to speak for them. Three years ago the spot on which Arizola stands was taken up as desert land, for which the govern. nent was paid one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. Today town lots are selling rapidly from one hundred dollars up, aud cultivated land sur rounding the town is worth from forty to sixty dollars an acre and upward. That is what has been done at Arizola in three years. Come and join in the grand work of making Arizola a pros porous city. We have the most fer tile farming land in the United States, and health giving climate not sur passed in the world.

FROM time immemorial the proctors
Of the English universities of Oxford
and Cambridge have had the eXtraor
binary power of arresting and sending
to Jail any woman, whatever her char,
acter, who might be seen walking
with a student. Recently there have
been several fragrant examples of the
abuse of this police privilege of uni
versity officers, and measures are about
to be taken to put a limit to the proc.
tors anomalous jurisdiction.

Difficult Language.

People reared in an environment OF
Anglo-Saxon custom and tradition
have always found Chinese the most
difficult of all languages to acquire. II
is not very surprising, therefore, to
learn that the British army authorities
have found it almost impossible, even
by the most persuasive inducements,
to get their officers to undertake the
study of the mandarin tongue. Ten
years ago the government offered
handsome prizes to any officer who
could show satisfactory progress in
learning Chinese, and now reward of
two thousand rupees is promised to all
officers passing an elementary exami-
nation in this difficult language of
monosyllables. In the United States
Chinese is but little studied. About
ten years ago Harvard college offered
a course of instruction In it, and i'm
ported a most imposing mandarin to
teach it, but hardly half dozen stu
dents out of the one thousand five hun
.dred there made use of the opportuni-
ty. Yet number of Harvard students
during the last twenty years have gone
to China after graduation and picked
up" the language very handily.

AMONG the apparent inconsistencies
of human nature is the coupling in the
same person of abilities in music and
mathematics. Nearly all the great
composers were apt at figures, and now
and then one finds an arithmetician
who is good musician as we'll. Such
one is a professor in one of our east
ern colleges. He seems almost to live for
geometry and calculus, confesses that
he takes little pleasure in romance or
in visual beauty, has no eye for color
but keen one for line and form, and,
in fact, would seem to be a man who
was incapable of the emotional force
required for the performance of music;
yet, next to mathematics, music is his
greatest delight, and not only does he
play correctly, but he plays with re-
markable expression.

CONNECTICUT is now added to the list
of states where the practice of med.
icine is regulated by law, the bill re-
lating to this subject having passed
the legislature of that state. There
are now but nine states in the union
where the practice of the profession is
absolutely unrestricted by any rules
whatever, and, strange to say, Massa-
chusetts is one of the delinquent
states. The, only equipment that is
essential for the practice of medicine
in Massachusetts is signboard hung
outside the physicians Office, and even
this is frequently dispensed with.
Massachusetts is the irregular prac-
titioner's paradise.

THE question of the nationality OF
the persons constituting the crews OF
American fishing vessels is of marked
consequence, in view of the depend

while British provincials constitute
9.52 per cent, and all the other nation

OLD chests and trunks have a high
value as curios, and are largely taker
by the dealers in the like. AS paperw wa:
costly in the eighteenth century, many
such articles were lined with newspa-
,pers then current, and, if the pleas
antries of the period are to be trusted
even with rejected manuscripts. A
curious old trunk with pentagona]
ends recently turned up in a shop of a
dealer in old furniture. 1t still bore a
weather-stained card, showing that its
last delivery had been to somebody in
Pearl street. 1t was lined with a Phil
adelphia newspaper of 1878, and the
pages exposed bore the tax list of that
year in pounds, shillings and pence.

A NEW rain wizard named C. B. Jew,
ell has risen in Kansas. He claims
that he can establish direct electrical
communication with the clouds by
means of certain gases, and that he
can produce clouds by sending the
gases into a clear sky. When this is
done small clouds begin to gather in
all directions, and within a short time
the sky is shut out by solid mass OF
clouds from which rainfall is certain.
He says that he can also send a captive
balloon into cloud and produce rain.
fall instantly. When this method is
used he charges the balloon with GER
tain gases which explode when they
come in contact with moisture.

germs of contagious diseases are

Depth Of the Ocean.

A dispatch from Victoria, Brit
ism Columbia, says the United
States steamer Albatross reports
having made deep-sea souudings
off the coast of Alaska, reaching
depth of 4,500 fathoms, which it
is added, "is the deepest ever
reached" If by that is meant the
deepest soundings ever made in
any ocean there must be a mistake
in the figures reported or the
claim is not correct. The depth of
1900 feet has been exceeded three
three times. In what is known as
the international deep" near the
island of st. Thomas, one of the
West Indies, Independent sound
lngs we're made by American and
English officers and a depth of
q, 1866 feet established. In 1874
the British ship Challenger found
a depth of 7,450 feet near the
Ladrone Islands in the Pacific
Ocean, and in the same year the
United States ship Tuscarora, un-
der the command of Capt. George
Il. Belknap, sounded TO the depth
of 27, $3.50 feet near the Kurile Is
lands in the North Pacific. This
is the lowest point yet reached,
being over FIVE and one fourth
miles, or nearly equal to the height
of the Hymalayas. In the days
before scientific deep sea sound
ings there were reports of 1000
to 5000 fathoms having been
reached, but these are now con-
ceded to have been apocryphal.
The Tuscarora's record of 1861
fathoms stands without rival as
yet. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
