ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de-
 velopment. There can't be a doubt about ] the fact. The dawn for which she has waited 50 long is breaking at last. There IS every promise of a day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and encr- giZing hope is visible everywhere among l her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small i'm pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten- ton 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-beggjng for ownership, There Is Q 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 climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when. after long and 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 enercizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits Of the people to greater au.d braver erdeayor thau before.
 For the last welve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the con- pIetion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territor5-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly &C., cumulatiu2 fund of substantial wealth and force Of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in AerOwn hands.
 The pobuIation of Arizona is Mexican. This is a mistake Of great importance from the molal point Ci view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city Of Tucson, and even there t is not by any means at pres enttae Dradcmilating element. It think it is certain that arizona has not to-day 1 nearly SO large 90 Mexican population as Colorado and not above ona-tcnth as much 1 as New Mexico. -,'" Fjt2- Mac" in Denver News.

YUMA COUNTY.

\ white nan first set foot on what Is now Yuma County in TIT. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hins. upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes of the ountry are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta Of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise Of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste a; Yuma's very doors, but already a reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

LANDS AND SOILS.

The lands of Yuma County comprise the river bottoms and valleys and the uplands or mesas. The bottom ands moister and slightly mere fertile, if, indeed, it is possible to make comparisons where all are so wonderfully productive and prolific. The uplands or mcsas are warmer and, perhaps,
 slightly better for the cultivation Of the citrus fruits -sloa contai1sa ~srIlty Of soil The valley land

MAUD MULLER AND TRILBY.

Maud Muller had a Trilby foot,
But she was not a Trilby.
A very different girl was she,
And so her story will be.
Sweet Maud was dressed in tattered gown
TIlby in "altogether,"
For Trilby posed in studios
And Maud out in the weather.
Poor Maud, ashamed of her bare feet,
Her bushes tried to smother,
While Trilby first put one foot out
And then stuck out the other.
Love came to both of them one day,
Which they both had to smother,
The Judge he smiled and rode away,
Billee went with his mother.
Then both these girls were hypnotized,
Poor Maudie by farmer,
While Trilby fell beneath the spell
OF satanic charmer.
Poor Maud she sighed, cit might have
been!''
But Trilby knew it should not,
So bravely tried to let him go,
And sing although she could not.
Alas, for judge and gifted boy.
The darling little Billee!
Strangers evermore to joy
Their fate they bore quite lily.
The world, too, signs with secret pain.
And wishes, ''Will he, mill he,
The judge had married rustic Maud
And Trilby Little Billee!

CONSCIENCE MONEY.

During my residence at the Villa
Medicis-frOm 1871 to 1S74-we were
constantly hearing of highway robbery,
and even of downright brigandage, out
OH the Campagna and up in the noun
tains. Sometimes rumOr would bring
the marauders to the very gates of the
CITY. and at last the bandits were re-
ported to have ventured into the town
itself The report did not exaggerate the
reality.
Happily none of our party fell vic
tim to these attempts save one, who
was stopped in open day by the side of
Santa Maria Maggiore, forced back to
the wall and "held up" with half a
dozen knives cleaning in a semicircle
around his throat.
He was relieved of his watch and
gave up his purse, but beyond the loss
of these articles suffered no injury. The
watch he subsequently recovered, and
the purse contained only few francs
Simon Backer always was lucky dog
There was at this time, in the noun
tains near Cervara, a banditWhose ac-
tivity and audacity had made him ter
ror to the district for several months
past. Emboldened by the smiles with
which fortune favored him, he grew
daily more daring He bad ventured in
to Subiaco and carried off prisoners IN
der the walls of Tivop. The peasants
never failed to cross themselves when
they spoke of Fontapa. He was said to
be not more than 2g at most, OF a strlk-
ingly handsome ptesence, and to cour-
age that was indomitable he added the
strength Of Hertules.
For nearly haf year this fellow and
his band of cvtthroats held possession
of the Campagna The attempts made
from time to Zine to take him always
came to nothing. Now it would be the
roval and now the pontiical gendar-
merle that Would go after him, but the
carbineers/ Seemed never to arrive in
time. T}ere was always something to
DELAY tFir departure or obstruct their
march,
ThfCampagna is veritable land of
Goslbn for a brigand who knows his
bus1ess. Everywhere there are grottoes,
CaVIuo, grass SIOWA Iu1uS, dUduuOu6u
ovrries and broad belts of forest, un-
tbdden for generations. A few villages,
psf in these solitudes, are united to the
outer world by track which is IN
worthy the name of road and bound to-
gether by footpaths only recognizable by
those accustomed to use them.
The child trotting from one to the
other with a cheese for the grandmother,
or returning with water from the dis
tant fountain, would frequently fall in
with the ''wOlf"
This ''wolf' was Fontana disguised.
\ With some cheap trinkets, perhaps a
necklace of beads Or a silver bracelet,
