LAST year, says Harper's Young Peo-
 pie, some enterprising person got up
 what he thought was a new and clever
 joke about congress. He issued little
 book, bound in green paper cover,
 bearing the title, What Congress Has
 Done" Inside were some ten or twenty
 blank pagee, the idea being that con- gress had wasted it's time and done nothing. Every one laughed at this, for it did seem like a good joke and a new one, but in looking over ap old file of papers scme weeks ago a correspond ent discovered the following paragraph: "COining jokes is very cunning figure of speech; but We know of only oRe in- stance in which a joke was actually coined, struck from a er4ven die, and issued from a legal mint. The fact is historical, and is es follows. In the year 1879 the Danes advanced with a large force upon Hamburg, but after siege of considerable duration, seeing but little hope of ultimate success, they finally withdrew, and marched back. Thereupon the Hamburgers caused medal to be struck in commemoration O. the eveat. On one side of this nu- nismatic curiosity was the inscription: The King of Denmark came before Hamburg. What he gained by it will be seen on the other side.' On the oth- CT side was total blank" This would seem to be additional proof of the truth of the assertion that there is nothing new under the sun, particularly in the line of jokes.

THE pREsrnENr ON SILVER.

A recent Washington letter says that
 NIT. Cleveland has removed the last
 vestige of doubt as to there being split
 in the national democratic party and
 has virtually announced himself 10 be
 the candidate oi the single gold stand
 ard wing of the party. This created
 no surprise in Washington. It has been
 foreshadowed n this paper for months
 past. Whether both wings will insist
 upon calling themselves the emocrat!c
 party, CT the silver democrats will join
 the populists or lhe Sibiey silver party
 is not yet plain. It will depend largely
 upon e effect of MT. Cleveland'5 de
 claration upon the rank and fife of tie
 democratic party in the south, and that effect will in turn deTeId somewhat i IL oon tke result of the mgaigus LOW
 being waGed in the states of Illinois and Kentucky. Mir. Cleveland and his followers believe that if the silver e!e- inert in the democratic party in those two statss can be beaten tbis year thnt the bulk of the democratic party in the south will acc pt Mr. C.eveand's tnEn- cial ideas ard will support him for pre- sideut agaIu. The whole power of the administration is to be used against tte silver democrats in those two states. It is already certain that three members of tle cabinet-Carlisie, Wilson, and Gresham-wi.l take the stump against silver.
 The administration also proposes to fight silver in the south. A southern democratic anti-silver convention is to be held at Memphis, Tenn, on May p, at which tbe principal address is to be delivered by Secretary Carlisle. Repres- entative Patterson, of Tennessee, who was in Washington this week conferipg with M-. Cleveland and the other mem- bers o. tbe administration, says every southern state will be largely represent | ed at that convention, which is to be, he eays, made the beginning of an az gressive campaign against silver in the south.
 So mucn for the administration view Of the effect If Mir. ClevelGnds declGra- | tion of open war against silver. There '. is very different view of the matter !! taken by the silver democrats. They say that Mr Cleyelald's move is too lac; that seven-tenths Of the democrat | ic party in ihe south and west Is irrevoo- ably com mmIt;ed to the free coinage of silver, that the silver democrats wei come Mr. Claveland's declaration, ard l VII ' ow proceed 10 show their power 10 control the paity by taking sters to ! make sure tAgt the next democratic national convention shall not only de- clare i1 favor of the free coinage of sil- yer bu5ehalI nominate free silver demo e at for president, which they claim will bring to their support the entire popu- list vote.

INTENSE COLO.>
It's Effect Upon the Mental Faculties O
 Those Subjected to It.

It's Effect Upon the Mental Faculties of
 Those Subjected to It.
 Extreme cold, as is well known, ex- erts a benumbing influence upon the mental faculties. Almost everyone who has been exposed, for a longer or a shorter period, to very low tempera- ture has noted a diminution in will power, and often temporary weaken ing of the memory. Perhaps the largest scale upon which this action has ever been studied was during the re- treat of the French from Moscow. The troops suffered extremely from hunger. fatigue and cold-from the latter per haps most of all. German physician who accompanied detachment of his cOuntrymen has left an interesting ac- count of their trials during this retreat. From an abstract of this paper by Dr. Rose, in the New York ''Medicinische MOnatSchrift, we find that one of the earliest symptoms referable to the cold was loss of memory. This was noted in the strong as well as those who were already suffering from the effects of the hardships to which they had been exposed. With the first appearance of a moderately low temperature (about five degrees above zero Fahrenheit), many of the soldiers were found to have forgotten the names of the most ordinary things about them. as we'll as those of the articles of food for which they were perishing. Many forgot their own names and those of their comrades. Others showed pronounced symptoms of mental disturbance, and not a few became incurably insane, the type of their insanity resembling very closely senile dementia. The cold was probably not alone responsible for these effects, for a zero temperature is rather stimulating than paralyzing in it's action upon the well-fed and the healthy. These men were half-starved, poorly clad, worn out with long march ing, many already weakened by dysen- tery and other diseases, and all men, tally depressed, as an army in defeat always is. It needed, therefore, no very unusual degree of cold to produce the psychic effects observed under other circumstances only as a conse- quence of exposure to an extreme low temDerature.

CROP REPORT.
Doings of the Weather for tho Week

Doings of the Weather for tho Week
 Ending April 22.
 The follow ng extracts from the report show the condition in Pima county. Tue son:-Clear, warm weather with light variable winds prevailed during the week. Barley, wheat and gardens have apparently made fair progress. Symp- toms of blight are reported in few instances necessitating the harvesting of grain for hay before maturity. It is probable, however, that this condition is comparatively trifling in extent and consequences. If visual evidence may be relied upon it can be said that the conditions are decidedly satisfactory throughout the Santa Cruz valley. The fields generally present a luxuriant appearance, the grain standing thickly on the ground, being of splendid height and develc pnent and of uniform dark green color indicative of exuberant growth. While it is true that the area under cultivation in this valley in incon- siderable in comparison with what Is available the above conditions are im- mensely significant es showing the latent possibilities of this region where thousands of acres of land of inexhaus- tible fertility only await touch of the ploT and and a taste of moisture to call forth their marvellous productIvenese. With regard to fruit it appears that the effects of the frosts early in the month have been less disastrous than was at first estimated. The present conditions indicate that there will be a considerable amount of most varieties. Grapes appear to have escaped without appreciable injury, and at this time promise well.-Oro Blanco: Grass poor: water in wells getting low.

THE PHOENIX FAKE.
Tisvvin Brewing Indians out on a
 IT Days Leave from San Carlos.


 l A report was published in the Phoenlz lpress nearly two weeks since to the leffect that Indians had fired on some cowboys and an outbreak on the San Carlos was threatened. In refuting the silly yarn the Globe Silver Belt pub fishes the following authoritative state ment from MT. Hugh Blevins in relation thereto.
 "It is now abont three weeks since lGabs Tucker, my son, Cy Blevins, and Jimmy Hale came to my house in the Sierra Ancha. This was ill she evening and the boys hobbled thelr horses and turned them out. On the following morn- ing Cy started out to get the horses, and a few hundred yards above the house he struck the trail of an Indian, and follow | ing the track a short distance, he came to place where a confusion of horse tracks indicated that the horses had | been stanpeced by the Indians in an at | tempt to catch one. From there the | Indians track went west toward Reno. | The same track YVES also discovered | leading to point of rocks four hundred yards from the house, which command ed view of the ranch and surroundings and from this eminence the track came back to within two hundred yards of the house, where the Indians had evil dently lain and watched the house for some time. Toward evening the horses were found.
 On the second day after his arrival at my house, about noon, Jimmy Hale started for the Pendleton ranch on Cherry Creek. When he had reached the summit of hill within a half mile ot the ranch he saw puff of smoke (evidently an Indien signa) in the val ley below, within two hundred yards of the house, and moment later saw a band of Indian horses. Being suspicious that all WAS not right, Hale turned back to my place and remained till the following evening when he, together with Gabe Tucker, Cy Blevins and Wm. McFaddeD, went over to Cherry Creek and camped near where the Indians were, and at daylight next morning they sui prised the redskins in their camp before they had begun to stir.
 The Indians were of John Daxin's band and numbered 50 or 60. They had a seventeen day pass, issued by the commanding officer at Fort Apache. They were engaged in brewing tiswiI, and had flour barrel and two oil cans from the Pendleton house to hold the tiswin. Most of the Indians were known to Jimmy and Cy. They told Jimmy that they had also taken some cartrid- ges from the house, to kill some deer of which they had several.
 These Indians told the boys that the | lone Apache who had shadowed my house three days previous was either the Kid or Ma. SC. It is believed by some citizens living m the Sierra Ancha and vicinity, however, that the Indian was Dandy Jim.'

FOUR HUNDRED BELOW ZERO.
Curious Effect of Such TemperAtuxs on
 Iron and CoIors.

Iron and CoIors-
 Four hundred and twenty-four de- grees Fahrenheit below zero! Just
 what this means it is almost impossible to imagine, and yet, says Cassier's Mag azine, it is one of the temperatures which have been reached and used in laboratory research, and has been made the subject of some highly interesting experiments and explanations by Prof.
 Dewar before the British Royal institu- tion. Four hundred degrees below zero is not an everyday temperature, nor can it be reached by more every day means than the expansion of liquid air, which latter Prof Dewar has sue ceeded in producing in comparatively large quantities, and in storing by novel and ingenious methods, to be used as required in the study of matter at abnOrmally low tempera- ture, exactly as spirit lamp or Bun- sen burner is used in studying the prop critics of different bodies at the higher temperatures The tensile strength of iron at four hundred degrees below zero is just twice what it is at sixty degrees above. It will take strain of sixty instead of thirty tons to the square inch, and equally curious results have come out as to the elongation of metals under these conditions. It was an idea of Faraday that the magnetism in . permanent magnet would be in- creased at very low temperatures. and experiments with comparatively low temperatures had rather mega tived Faraday's suggestion, but Prof. Dewar has completely verified the opinion of the famous savant, having shown that magnet at the extremely low temperature made possible by the liquid air had its power increased by about fifty per cent. Very low temper ature was shown also to have a remark able effect upon the color of many bodies. For example, the brilliant scarlet or vermillion and mercuric iodide is reduced under its influence to a pale orange, the original color return ing with the rise of the temperature.
