AN EARTHQUAKE SCARE.
Citizens of Mexico Fear Serid GUS
L. Seismic Disturbances.
ANCIENT VOLCANO IN ERUPTION.

While the Shocks Thus Far Felt Have
prshepsions of u General Earthquake
Period, with Disastrous Results.
CORDOBA, Mexico, March 1.-THE peak
OF Orizaba the ancient volcano, Is ih
state OF eruption. The signs of disturb
anoe began to manifest themselves on
Sunday night Of last week, and have in
creased In forco constantly since that time.
1t Is now vomiting poisonous gases, and
thick volumes of smoke are emitted from
100 apertures In Its great nav. The earth
for 100 miles around has shaken periodi-
cally with subterranean vibrations A
great alarm exists amosg the dwellers in
the cltios Of Cordoba, Orizaba, Kalaha
and tho dozens Of small villages scattered
within the scope Of the strange and inter
esting phenomenon.
Tho shocks as yet have not been Of dis
astrous nature, and no damage from them
has been reported. The rim of the crater
glows like fire, and the thick gases rolling
down tho mountain sides have set a6aihe
the grasses and vegetation clothing the
sides of the summit, which adds to the
density of the smoke and the grandeur Of
the spectacle.
ror tne PUBIC 6aIeIy the governor or the
state of Vera Cruz will shortly name u
commission of scientists to make all the
Investigation into the eruption possible,
and 10 make recommendations looking to
the protection Of the inhabitants of the
neighboring villages.
The present eruption is In the heart OF
tho best improved coffee district in Mex
leo. where there are located many A,meti-
eans who have embarked in the profitable
business The coffee plantations are mob
as yet thought to be in any danger Of dam
age, nor Will they be unless the fall of
thick ashes occurs, which is not consid-
cred probable. Masses arc being said In
all the churches of the locality to ward dff
the impending danger
Coming soon after the late destructive
volcanic activities in many parts OF the rc-
public, the eruption of Orizaba has many
terrors, not only to the people Of its vicih-
ity, but to all living In the volcanic belt
stretching from the active volcano of Cp-
lima, on the west coast, clear to the Gulf
are numbered dozens of old craters, eithtr
In repose or smoking constantly. 1t is
natural to suppose that should its erup-
tions continue the other volcanoes will be
affected and q general earthquake period
set In. The consequences of such catas-
trophe are hard to foretell but could hardly
be anythingdess than very disastrous to
Pueblo, City OF Mexico and the hundreds
Of other towns In the heart of Mexico.

 has indeed regained it's grip upon the electorate ot New York city.
 But this isolated triumph turned upon Sunday closing quarral be- tween the metropolis and the puri- tanical rural part of New York state, and in no way diminishes the republican triumph. In former times the present result would have rendered the election of a republi- can president nextIyear a foregone conclusion. But there are no long CT any foregone conclusions in Anne rican politics. Within a twelve month the pendulum may be swing ing, as causelessly and as irresisti- bly, the other way.

The decision of Justice Baker on the legality of the immigration law is only binding on Maricopa county until such time as the supreme court passes upon the same, and unti! that time the law stands as the law of the territory. Itappears from reading the decision of Justice Baker that the entire case was de- cided on the point, that the court does not consider the office of i'm migration commissioner as neces- sary expense, as contemplated by the Organic Act, and upon this the decision was made and rests. It appears that the. legislature made up of the representatives of the peo
 pie of the territory thought that the creation of this office was a neces- sary expense as means of -educ- ing taxation by increasing invest ments and population through i'm migration of home seekcrstsand those seeking investments. The sixty to seventy thousands dollars expended by the territorial commits sioners of immigration. which was devoted to the advertisement of Maricopa county, increas ed the tax
 able value ofthat county more than an hundred fold, and the benefit received by Maricopa county can in a measure be experienced by every other county in Arizona if they are allowed or encouraged to make their resources known to the country at large, and this is just what the law making power had in mind when it passed the immigration law, and there is little doubt but what the supreme court will sustain the le- gality of the law when it comes be. fore that body, as Justice Baker IS unquestionably mistaken in his ap- plication of the principle upon which he rests his decision.-Star.

APACHE co. vs. NAVAJO co.

In the mandamus case instituted by Navajo county, to compel Treas urer Potter, of Apache county, to pay over certain sums of money, which Navajo county claimed were illegally retained by Treasurer Pot ter. The case was tried here at the last term of court and the writ de- nied. District Attorney Perrill for Navajo county, gave notice of app peal to the supreme court. Mir. Potter received last week a com munication from Clerk of the Board Nelson, of Navajo county, stating that said claim in controversy, had been allowed by Navajo county, and warrant drawn. By this ac- tion the "mandamus" appeal was disregarded. and the matter is thus happily ended. the Board of Nav ajo county generously acknowledg- ing their position as untenable.

 Boston, Mass, Nov 22.-The Commercial Bulletin" will say to- morrow of the wool market.

THE NAUGHTY DOLL.

My dolly IS dreadful care
 Her name is Miss AmandY; dress her up and curl Ter hair, And feed her taffy candy. Yet needless ot the pleading voice Of her devoted mother, She will not wed her mothers choice, But says she'll wed another. |. I'd have her wed the china vase There is no Dresden rarer; You might go searching every place And never find fairer. He is a gentle, pinkish youth Of that theSe's no denying; Yet when speak of hIm. forsoothi Amandy falls to crying. She loves the drum-that's very plain And scorns the vase so clever, And weeping, vows she will remain A spinster doll forever! The protestations of the drum I Tam convinced are hollow; When once distressing times should come How soon would ruin followi I'm sure that when Pm big and tall, And wear long trailing dresses, shan't encourage beaux at all Till mamma acquiesces; Our choice will be suitor then As pretty as this vase is- Oh, how we'll hate the noisy men With whiskers on their faces.

MAY SWING BACK.
A Foreign Opinion of the Late
 Election,

From the London Saturday Review.
 If the elections in various parts of the United States can be said to show anything in particular, it is that Mr. Cleveland has failed as a party leader. He seems to be an exceptionally efficient president. but utterly needless of political or ganization. Perhaps the one of ne. cessity involved the other. At all events, the democrats are almost at the lowest ebb of their history. They have been beaten as badly as Liberaly were beaten last July, and they are hopelessly at sea for new leaders and new party cries. The loss of Kentucky and Maryland, tw southern states which have been democratic from time immemorial, is as characteristic feature of the "debacle" as the loss of Derby's two

 Our health is good, we have plenty to live off, and plenty of work, in fact, double the amount we have men to do it with.
 Our new reservoir will commence to-morrow to take trip "upward" and is expected to ascend about 10 feet, so as to raise the water nearly back to the spring, and that means more farming. more fencing and better times in future.
