A soy.s Essay on Arizona.

The following essay, written by a ten-year-old Arizona boy, and read in an eastern school, is published by request:
 1 was born in Prescott, Arizona, July 10th, 1879; Prescott is a very pretty mountain place, and there Is also a great many hunting places around there; it IS no uncommon thing out there to see a person come in with a bear or two, after a day or so of hunting. The people of the east have a very queer idea of the west; they think that when they get off from a train in Arizona, they will see a COW boy with couple of loaded six shooters at their heads, saying, your money or your lifel And they expect to see men shoot ing at each other. but it is not so; it IS as quiet and nice a country as the east; saw an article the other day in one of the magazines, go east for a wife and education, and go to the west for health and wealth; and that is what 1 think of it. In An- zona, the climate is steady and healthy, and there is hardly such a thing as consumption, while in the east, one day is cold and the next is hot and cases of consumption are very numerous; as general thing. most western men are strong and can endure most anything. notice that everything in the east is getting old, such as the Fourth of July for instance; last year there was hardly any fun going on in town, while out west-that is the states west of the Missouri-they have a great time, including processions, and horribles that make you laugh when you see them. while in Arizona the governor makes a speech and there is always a boy that rides bull. If yoal ask me which prefer, the east or west, my answer is now and forever, the west. But I must leave the west now and tell something about the east. The east is a very pleasant country, and New England is very large in territory; but did you ever thlnk that Arizona alone is as large as all New England put together. l go to the grammar school in Exeter, taught by Mir. Sperry French. Here I end my autobIog- raphy. VAUaHN NJ. ELLIS.

4 HIrh roned plrerce suI,

NEWPORT, R. l.. Aug. 29-The talk of the domestic infelicities of Mir. and Mrs. William K. Wander bIlt, who are reported about to separate, extends over two years. Two summers ago Vanderbilt turned up at Newport on the yacht Alva, and the latter was on it when it sunk in Vineyard sound. A few months after this Vanderbilt, who is an enthusiastic yachtsmsn, went to England, where he remained while the present yacht Vigilant was being built last summer at Newport, and the chatter was incessant. When Mir. Vanderbilt returned gossip was silenced by the announce ment of plans for a long trip with Mrs. Vanderbilt aud other well known persons. Curious stories have reached here of quarrels aboard the yacht, which are said to have resulted in the abandonment of the cruise at an early stage. Mrs. Van derbilt has told her friends that she had no intention of returning to Newport for years. and the marble house which cost $l,000OO0, and which her husband settled on her would remain closed. Mir. Depew ii rst heard of the late trouble when the Debs crisis was at its height. When the strike was practically over, he sailed to Europe.

Demecraslc Reselres.

Among other resolves, the Mari copa county democratic convention adopted the following resolutions:
 REsCLvED, That we heartily en- dorse the constitution adopted by the people of Arizona, which is now pending before the United States Senate, as a wise and conservative instrument, in every way fitted to become the organic law of the State of Arizona, and we favor the imme- diate admission of Arizona as c State in the Union, under the said constitution.
 We further believe that in the interest of the tax payers the terri torial board of equalization should be abolished. and we pledge our candidates for the legislature that, in the event of their election, they will use every honest effort to this end.
 The arbitrary act of said board in putting a false valuation upon the farming lands ot Maricopa county. is deserving of the severest censure, and in justice to our people, we ask for it. abolishment.
 RESOLVED, That the nominees for the legislature of this convention, are hereby pledged to enact a law forfeiting the office and emoluments thereof of any territorial. county or municipal officer, who shall accept or receive a pass from any railroad or other transportation company.

Anthony the Nyandrrer.

Insight into the strange condition of the popular mind of Russia at the close of this nineteenth century is afforded by the immense renown and influence enjoyed at present by a per ipatetic saint who goes by the name of Anthony the Wanderer, and who for more than 40 years has been per petually on the move, his peregrina- tions extending all over Siberia, cen tral Asia and European Russia. In the depth of winter, just as i'll the height of summer, he marches bare foot and almost entirely devoid of clothing.
 Fifty pounds weight of iron chains are welded about his shoulders and body, while his waist is encircled by an iron belt weighing 30 pounds more, closed with a lock, the key of which was cast into the Arctic ocean. Thus equipped, Anthony the Wan derer has spent twoscore years in tramping all over the Russian em- pire, collecting enormous sums of money for the building of churches and schools in places where they are needed, and without keeping single kopeck for himself. He is venerated, we are told, not alone by the igno- rant peasantry, but also by the most highly educated and affiuent classes, and men and women of all sorts and conditions of life are described as ap- plying to him for advice in matters spiritual, worldly and even hygienic.

The flooring of the lobby of a New York city hotel shows in a curious manner the difference in hardness between two kinds of marble which were quarried from opposite sides of the same hill in the Green mountains in Vermont.
 The floor is laid in oblong blocks about by 1i feet in size, set in zigzag lines, one line of mottled white and the other of red and black marble. Near the windows and walls and in other parts of the room not much used tho whole floor is still level, but at the foot of the staircase and around the desks the white marble has worn away until ill some places the surface is half an inch below the level of the red. 1t has worn out smoothly, and until one sees the parts of the floor that are unworn one is apt to imagine that it was pur Dosely laid with the white below the red in order to catch the light and accentuate the hnes of the floor.
 The red marble is apparently un- worn and seems as hard as granite, even its edges having preserved their form. The floor was laid nine years ago. New York Letter.

Sennacherib lived and reigned between the years 7O2 and GSO B. C., over 2,500 years ago.

GOOD WORDS.
What Marshal Meade Has to Say of the
 Northern Metropolis.

NANNfeFtAAes
 On returning to Tucson, Marshal Meade had the following to say of our people and their beautiful noun tain city:
 How did you find the northern part of the territory, marshalf" asked a Star man yesterday after noon of Marshal Meade, who re- gently spent some weeks at Prescott and thereabouts.
 "Everything is booming up there" was the reply. From the present indications" he continued, Prescott IS destined to become the Denver of Arizona. Eastern capital is taking hold, and the next few years will witness a wonderful change in the condition of things all over Northern Arizona. They have the resources up there, and all that is necessary is capital sufficient to carry to a sue cessful conclusion enterprises look ing to their thorough development.
 Men are settling there from the east, conservative business men who expect to make that section their future home. They recognize the unlimited possibilities of Arizona. and do not want to be the last ones to get a footing in territory which will, before many years, be one of the greatest of the western states.
 "Yes; there has been considerable building in Prescott the past six months, and there will be more this fall and winter. Several substantial business blocks have been erected recently and the number of new residences is quite large.
 'lt looks as If every man about Prescott, who has made any pro- gress at all in the world, is interested in a gold mine, or is the sole owner of one. Many of the gold properties are being worked on an extensive scale and, so far as l could learn. the results are highly satisfactory. The Congress mine Is being devel- oped right along as are several other big bonanzas."
 What progress is being made with the new railroadsi" was asked.
 Work is being pushed as rapidly as possible" said Marshal Meade. The Verde Copper company's narrow-guage line from the com- pany's mines near Jerome to the north and south road, thirty miles distant, has been graded and the rails are being laid as fast as possible. The north and south road is ready to operate from Pres colt to a few miles beyond the Congress mine. Several hundred men are pushing the work of cor- struction with all possible dis patch"
 In referring to the trouble on the Atlantic & Pacific road during the strike, Marshal Meade said that for a time the situation was most serious, but that fortunately the shedding of blood was averted. He was modest about speaking of the val uable Services rendered by himself Tn the course of the strike trouble

 No thought of failure ever clouds the brow of the inventor. Heis the same frank, smooth faced boy-hke Edison that he was ten years ago.
