AN ENORMOUS VINE.
One That Grows in England and Bears Two
 Thousand Punches of Grapes.

One That Grows in England and Bears Two
 Thousand Punches of Grapes
 While in the public mind the great vine at Hampton Court palace is es- teemed the most remarkable, even that is excelled in dimensions by the still greater vine at Cumberland lodge, Windsor Park, says the London Daily News. Not only these giants, but probably all other vines in the kingdom, have to give place for extent and pro- ductiveness to that most remarkable vine which is just at the present moment carrying the enormous quantity of eight hundred and fifty-two punches and a total weight materially exceed ing half ton. < This is growing at Manresa house, ROehampton, in winery two hundred and twenty-four feet long by eleven feet wide. The vine was planted by the present gardener, Mir. Davis, as cutting, onto wall outside more than thirty years ago But finding that in the natural soil such capital growth was made, the present house was specially built for its accommodation, so that now the vine and it's main stems stand partly across the house, just two thirds up it's length. There are seven main rods or branches running hori- zontally each way. These are allowed to carry laterals, or fruiting shoots, on the upper sides only, so that the grapes, now fast becoming black (for the va riety is the black Hamburg), hang the entire length of the roof in straight, even lines, instead of up the roof, as is commonly the case Over two thou sand punches were cut after they had set The value of the crop, estimated at two shillings per pound-which is, as good grapes go, perhaps not high figure - would be one hundred and twelve pounds sterling. Probably no other tree of any kind in the kingdom could produce such sum in fruit an- nuallV

A resident iu the east side favors the extension of the city limits in Buelrs addition. He says the city would thus gain in taxes twenty five or thirty houses aud lots, with ar assessed value of at least sl5,0O0. Police protection could then be had for the east side, something long wanted by pedestrians there, of even those not the most timld. Another advantage would be an additional cleo tric light mast, which he says is the ohlef consideration for the change, the many residents of that vicinity being solely dependent on the beams of the oold pale moon or of the far away light on the pole at Gardiner's shops. Tue son has certainly improved vastly in that part of town. Those just outside may prefer to stay there to save city taxes, but those inside would like to take them into the limits of T ucson.

THERE appears to have been sstraight party division on the city ticket elected yesterday. The republicans elected four and the democrats like number. For tunateiy for the city both parties had good men in the field and so, politics outside, it made but little difference to the people which way it went. We are exceedingly pleased, however, to chron- cle the fact that the republicans elected their candidate for mayor. city recorder and police marshal. These are the three important offices, They also elected the councilmsn from the second ward. This gives the republicans absolute con- trol of every branch of the city govern ment. The next city council will be composed of five republicans, including the mayor, and two democrats. The entire republican representation in the city government is the mayor, four councilmep, recorder and marshal; the democrats two councilmen, treasurer, and assessor and tax collector.

A Musical Mount ain.

In the old Truckee mining district, down the Truckee river, near Pyramid lake, is situated Nevada's musical mountain. This mountain was first discovered by the white settlers in 1863, at which time there was some excite ment in regard to the mines found in the neighborhOod. The discoverers were a party of prospectors from Com stock. They had pitched their tent at the foot of the mountain, and for a few evenings thought themselvesbewitched, :, says the Virginia City Enterprise. Each evening a little after dark, when the air was calm and all was quiet, a mys- terious concert began. Out from the face of the big mountain were waited strains that seemed to cause the whole atmosphere to quiver as they tloated over the camp. The music then ap- peared to pass over until it was far, far away. and almost lost in the distance, when. beginning with a twinkling as of many httle'silver bells, there would be a fresh gust of sweet notes from the mountain.

THE Revlew of ksvIews for Dscem Der brings to the attention Of its readers remarkable state of things ID South American international relations. II has been known for years that Great Brita Ia has perslstently encroached on territory belonging to the little repuo- he of Venezusis; but few Americans have been aware of the extent of those epcroachments. The editor of the Re view of Reviews asserts that England IS now occupying a vast reglIn which only few years ago she acknowledged to belong to VepeZuels, end that in fact she has no lawful claim to any territory whatever west of the Essequibo river, although she has acquired the coast line as far as the Orinoco. The editors charges seem to be supported by the statements of reliable English publica- tions: the Cyclopedis of Geography, for example, computed the area of British Guiana 8 few years ago as 5O,OOO square miles, while the present area is gwen as lO9, uO9 square miles by all British stat isrical works, although there have been no sessions to England 10 that region AS Great Britain has refused arbitration of the points in dispute, the Review or Revlews advocates the appointment of joint commission by the United States, Mexico, and the South American repub- llcs to investigate VeDezuelas claims, and that such as may appear we'll found ed be sustained by the Qaited American powers against Englsnd

HOW A MAN GOES TO SLEEP.
Slumber Begins at the Feet and the Senses Become Dormant One After Another.

Slumber Begins at the Feet and the Senses
 Become Dormant One After Another.
 ''Order is heavens first law" and the old truth is manifested even in the proc ess of going to sleep. When a man drops off to sleep, says the New York World, his body does not do so all at once, so to speak. Some sense become dormant before others and always in the same order. Ashe becomes drowsy the eyes close, and the senses of seeing is at rest. It is quickly followed by the disappearance of the sense of taste. He next loses the sense of smell, and then after short interval the tympanum becomes insensible to sound, or rather the nerves which run to the brain from it fail to arouse any sense of hearing.
 The last sense to leave is that of touch, and in some Representative peo- pie it is hardly ever dormant. Even in their case, however, there is no dis eliminating power or sense of what touched them. This sense is also the first to return upon awakening. Then hearing follows suit, after that taste, and then the eye becomes able to flash impressions back to the brain The sense of smell, oddly enough, though it is by no means the first to go, is the last to come back.
 The same gradual loss of power is observed in the muscles and sinews as well as in the senses. Slumber begins at the feet and slowly spreads up the limbs and trunk until it reaches the brain, when inconsistencies is com plete and the whole body is at rest This is why sleep is impossible when the feet are cold.

THOSE who expected something new n the financial scheme sent to congress over the signature of Secretary Carlisle and so strongly endorsed by MT. Cleve- land, have not yet recovered from their disappointment. Taken as whole con- eress appears to be perfectly indifferent to the scheme, although many of the old members expressed themselves strongly in favor of that portion Of it which recommends an extension of the currency of national banks when 1t was first brought to the attention of congress in bill introduced by Representative Walker, of Massachusetts, several years ago. The original plan of the Carlisle scheme, that which provides for the ex- emption of state banks from taxation, when certain conditions are compiled with, meets with no favor anywhere. except from the inhationists from the south. The silver men say that the only object of the administration in bringing forwsrd the scheme at this time was to wean the southern mem- bers from the support of the free coin- age of silver, and they declare that they intend to meet the move by passing a free coInage bill and ignoring the ad- ministration scheme of finance.

WILL YOU HELP?

1t is the general opinion Of our citizens
 that s special effort should be made te thoroughly advertise tnis section or the territory, and endsavor by thls
 means to secure desirable immigration ana the interest of capital. No other mode of advertising has such far reach iup effects, and carries with It such power of conviction as plainly sta .ea fact and figures, bscKed up with photo graphic illustrations of the principal attractions ana architectural features Of the county. When thls .s set forth m conelse and attractive form in 8 special edition of an established newspaper, it's power for good IS practically un- linlted. There has been recently hue ana cry prevslIlng for the general m provement Of this city, and notWith- standing the fact that because of certain existing financial conditions thls seems to be at present almost lmpractlcssle, there are many ways by which the puplic desire can De gratItied ln this direction. One way Is to promote uni- versal interest in tnls section, and to draw to ourselves the interest of outside capital. If the very numerous oppor- tunitles that here exist for safe ana profitable investment were brought to the knowiedge of those who are Seeking for just such fields as these, the benehts to De derIved, not only ID hastebing public improvements and ID securing modern metropolitan facilities, but ih increasing our general prosperity, would necessary be great. And not only thls, out the faiLhfuI exposition Of the city and coupty's resources, and the diversified commercial interests that obtain, would tend to make all of us bstter appreciate ourselves the oppor- tunitIee that exist.
 If the business men of this city, of Nogales, and other towns ih the county will give us as much support in this matter as ln incumbent upon them, the special edition of THE CITIZEN Will be such that 1t cannot fail of sowing the seeds of harvest that will be enormous snd valuable iu its general reaplng.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

ELECTRIC pianos, which play them selves, the keys being depressed as though by some unseen hand, are now being manufactured.
 NJ. WILDs says that temperature of one hundred and fifty-seven degrees below zero was registered at Wercko- jansk, Eastern Siberia, in February, 1892. This is the lowest temperature ever registered on the face of the earth.
 TESTS recently made in Japan of the hauling powers of American and Eng fish locomotives on the Tokaido rail- way resulted decidedly in favor of American engines, and preference will be given to them in future.
 WE are told by Prof. Oliver Dodge, the celebrated physicist, that at the ab- solute zero of temperature (three hun dred and seventy-three degrees C.. or four hundred and fifty-nine degrees Fahrenheit the molecules of |. perfect gas would lie so inert that they could be swept together in piles on the floor.

Salt in History.

The necessity for salt among ab- original races must have been para mount. for nature craves it. Salts of soda are to be found in all animal and vegetable substances man uses, but it does not seem to be so assimilable as sodic chloride. Primitive Americans were certainly fortunate, because sources Of salt far away from the sea- board were fairly numerous The work of procuring salt must have fallen in a large measure on women There was Mexican goddess who was honored as the salt giver. Bancroft, in his Aztec studies, tells how an Aztec king kept the Tlascalas without salt for years, until they acknowledged his sovereignty.

A Gross Act of Cruelty.

Why should we be cruel to ourselves? {? It is piece of senseiess inhumanity, for instance, for any one of us to infflct up- on his bowels and stomach the convul- sive, gripping, violent action of drss- tic csthartic. Many people ensmored of pills, powders and potions are conti- nually dolng this. They are only "keep- ing up the agony" perpetuating the dis tur urbance by this foolish course. Why don't they take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and get thoroughly and prompt ly set right? This supreme laxative never gripes, never produces violent ef- fects of any sort. Yet it is very effect I've and brings about permanent results. For liver complaint. dyspepsia, nervous ness, lack of vitality, rheumatic and kid ney complaints, it Is eminently servi- ceable. In old age and to accelerate convslescence it is strongly to be con- mended. Use 1t for malaria.

STEALING OUR FLOWERS.
Miss Jul'a Street to Be Married
 Next February.

Amidst the acres of flowers now blooming in Phoenix, it may seem a tride niggardly to begrudgs even the fairest rose ln all that loveliness. And yet, not one of us will hear that Miss Julia Street is to be taken away. with out bangs of real regret. She has be- come such particular, brilliant part of southern Arizona society, that her transplanting to eastern climes cannot fail to create sense of bereavement in the hearts of all who know her.
 But the decree of Cupid has gone forth and his mandate is irrevocable. Iu February next Miss Street will be- come the bride of Joseph Wickhsm a wealthy Philsdelphian. Last winter he visited an uncle who is ranchlng for health near Tempe. The latter, as his nephew started homeward, wagered chsffingly a generous purse that he would at no distant date claim this very charming rose. And so it has come to pass. The uncle wins his venture' but, ln paying it, the loser enriches himself tenfold.
 In the Quaker city of charming homes . nest is now building for the prospec- tive bride and, ere another year is two months old, she will Hit from the family dove cote to grace an abiding place of her own.
 Respectfully, yet as gracefully as our feelings permit, we congratulate the fortunate bridegroom, and wish both him and his treasure abundant, life long hsppiness.-GazetTe.

MISSIONARIES IN INDIA.

We print below an abstract or au article in tte December Forum, express ing the views of a native upon the WIS dom of sending missionaries to India He conteUos that more real benefit to the people of that eastern country would result from sending mechanics, teachers and machinery there, h order to elevate and educate the people, who are kept down by their poverty. He argues that the conversion of the com paratively few natives to Christianity costs entirely too much, and that the chief reason for the elowness Of the of the work is that the natives have 8 religion of their own to which they cling teDaciously-
 The article makes interesting reading for the seeker for general information, especially as in the same number IS 8 paper from Bishop TEoburn, the Metho- dist missionary to Indis, who has long been a devoted worker in the cause, and who describes what he declares to be the success of the work of redeeming India.
 However bright the outlook may be fir m 8 Christian missionary standpoint, it is doub btless true that the ignorance and the religious preiudices of the natives stand in the way of greater progress, and it is also true that India does not present so encouI aging held as do many other nations.
 It is 8 sheer waste of money, says Purushotam Rso Telsng, in the Decem Der Forum, to spend it on the mission. aries. It does not help the people oi India On the contrary it only strength ens their own religions faith and creates international prejudice. The people bitterly complain against them for theil interference, not only in religion, bat iu politics too. What benefit is it tc India or America if few psrishs are Christianized at sn enormous cost? again affirm that it is waste of money Send your missionaries to those wbc have DO religion-for instance, to ths interior of Africa and the South Ses Islands, and to the cities of the United States.
