Army Starts for
General Jennings evacuated with the
Hoosier contingent at 3 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. About an hour before that time
the Hoosiers formed in double line at Fort
Landers and. headed by three drums,
down to Washington street and
thence to the Circle House. Here they
were ~harangued by General Fry, who
urged them TO make all haste possible 10
Cincinnati, where they hoped TO get trans
portation by water TO Pittsburg. He told
the men they would have to undergo hard
ships. but he hoped they would not shrink
from them. and would show the people
that they were determined, assuring them
would be theirs in the end. He said there
was hardly a doubt but that they could get
a sufficient number of barges at Cincin-
natl TO convey them up the river. and if
they did he expected to have an army OF
ten thousand soldiers. After this harangue
hands with each one of the seventy sol
dieTs and babe them Godspeed. Then the
drums beat and the command, Forward,
march, was given by General jennings.
The diminutiye column. headed by three
drums and Captain Riggs, moved of,

A GREAT DEMAND EXPECTED.
The Sale of Single Tickets for the May
: Festival Will Begin This Morning.

Promptly at 9 o'clock this morning will
begin the advance sale of seats for single
concerts for the May Music Festival, at
the Big Four ticket office, No.. 1 East
washington street. There is every reason
TO expect an unprecedentedly large de-
mand, and In view of this probability those
who wish particular locations would do
well to secure them early. Several of the
directors Of the association will assist in
the sale. so that patrons may receive
prompt attention. Although there was a
good sale OF season tickets last week, only
a comparatively small proportion of all the
seats in the great hall were taken, and
there are plenty left for those who desire
to attend only one or more concerts. The
dates OF the May Music Festival are May
10. 10 and II. three nights and two matinees,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next
week.
AS all the railroads leading into Indian
apolis will give reduced rates for the Fes-
tival. one and one-third single rates for the
round trip, many out-of-tOwn people will
take advantage of them. They can secure
seats in advance by writing or telegraph
ing Mr.. Il. c. Kelsey, Big Fou ticket

PRODUCTIONS.

Being in the latitude of Persia, with similar eli mate, it is not unreasonable to infer that there should be close relation in productions. Of the cereals, all do equally we'll. On the alluvium along the river from 40 to 60 bushels of wheat per acre can be raised and proportonately of oats and bar ley. Corn can be grown if planted very early or very late. Sorghu.u and the true cane grow very luxuliantly Gotten becomes perennial, plants in Yuma having grown from one seeding twelve years in succession. The lint may be gathered con- tinually from June to January. The castor bean grows into miniature trees, and are as long lived as many of the ornamental trees of more northern attitudes Hemp is indigenous along the Colorado river, it's fiber being of good quality. Ramie will do equally well as hemp, and the time will come when it's cultivation will become important in dustry. The same may be said of flax and tobacco
 It is in the realm of the goddess Pomona where the infinite riches of this country will be found. All the citrus fruits are at home in Yuma. The orange, the lemon And the lime make fragrant with blossom and fruit all the days of the year, and such oranges, lemons and Hines grow no where else in the United States. Mexico and the islands of the sea do not produce finer oranges in size flavor and color, they simply perfect The lemol are equals of Sicily, than which none finer grow. The lime is as large juicy and purely acid as those of Acapulco, Mexico, from whence those for the California market largely come.
 The date grows rapidly and health" in Per sia or Arabia, and will in time become an import ant tree for its fruit and ornamental purposes The long-lived olive is at home here and will add its contingent of oil and pickles to the wealth of the land. From April to December the fig may be gathered in perfection from the tree All the pit ted fruits whose abitat is Persia grow with an abandonment of grace and beauty unknown else where.
 What shall say of the endless grape family that ripen here more than a month in advance of any locality. Morocco, Spain, France nor Hungary, which have sent their finest varieties, cannot surpass Yuma. For productiveness, size and flavor, our grapes are unexcelled.
 The list of production already given, although long, might be extended indefinitely, for every thing native to the semi tropics may be added. This, however, is not necessary, for in those al ready mentioned are noted possibilities of luxury and wealth for those who settle in this virgin country.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velepment There can't be doubt about the fact The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, IS now commanding for her fall share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that clinacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long aud weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is a mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres- ent the predominating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly SO large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. -"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News.
