THE COUNT TRIUMPHANT.
After q Struggle for Years He at Last
Lawfully Marries His Friends
Wife.

Count Alexander Rehbender yesterday
took out a license to marry Maria Emma
Forester, and thus his long struggle to OBJ
tain possession of the woman was termi-
mated successfully. For Maria Emma
Forester is she who secured decree of
divorce from Nicholas Frederickson, or
Faedroff, the man who has resisted the
struggle of Count Rehbender so unsuc-
cessfully.
The strange story of this couple has been
repeatedly told-how Count Rehbender
met Mr.. and Mrs, Faedroff in Chicago and
fell in love with the latter; how he induced
them to return to Russia with him, and
there threw Faedroff into prison and at
once started with his wife for this country !;
how Faedroff escaped, followed and traced
the couple to this City, where ne took
possession of his wife by force how she
subsequently left him and secured a
divorce, and now the Count, triumphant,

AT recent meeting of the Interna- tioual Congress in London, various schemes were introduced and plans laid for reaching the North Pole. Every kind of crack brained theory was given show and voyages over the ice and under the ics were scientifically deecant- ed on. Some wanted to go in 8 balloon and others wanted to flank the blamed thing and come on the opposite side. On the whole those very learned men will find more money in keeping Il corner grocery and selling chewing gum to school marme, than there is in pick ing gentIans st the north pole.

ARIZONA ADVANCE IN 1885

Arizona people are not given to boast ing, and enjoy reputation of taking success Gs @ matter Of course, and oi improving the opportunities presented without any great display of enthusiasm or sounding of self-prsise. But there is no doubt but that If any other territory had the resources ana presented as many avenues of wealth as this terFito- ", the attraction would be kept con- stantIy before the world. It is nothing agalnst the average citizen if he happens to be too busy with his own affairs to act as guide to the stranger within our gates; 1t is no discredit that Arizona iz 8 busy place, for the business world has confidence in the busy man. At pres ent our territory is enjoying prospsri- ty and development such as few people are aware, who do not watch closely the chronicle of passing events. There is no evidence of an unhealthy or ficti- tious boom in any portion Of Arizona, but all reports tell of steady onward march, which is not in<erru pted by even the shadow Of injurious reaction. From northern Arizona We hear that the great ranges have been moistaned by copious rains, that the hills are green, and the year promises to stimuli ate the stock industry. From every mineral district, the work Of honest dev- elopment is progressing as never before in its history; old camps which have been dormant for years have during shis year taken new life, and based uyon merit, are coming to the front as pro- ducers. Phoenix is advancing in ali that helps city. Buildings by score are springiug up, and hundreds Of labor CTS buying their own homes and prepar- ing for decade Of prosperity; the de- mands ID the Phoenix markets increase each day, and the cisy's commercial ter ritory increases with assuring certainty Of our business supremacy. New cDtar- prises are belng founded by men whose experience tells them there is DO ezperi- ment in their plans. In the mean t;me the city property is not held at fictitious values.-Gazette.

This shows that even in the very heart of the gol6ite section of the country the .bimetallic sentiment is overwhelmingly strong, and we have no doubt that if the money question is made the leading issue of the next Presidential campaign, as We confident ly believe it will be, the goldites will be buried under an avalanche of popular disapproval.

THE SPANISH LANGUAGE.
The Globe Democrat recentIy said:

The Globe Democrat recently said:
 The Philadelphia Record has sensi- ble article on the neglect of the Spanish language in American schools and col leges. Though Spanish is certain to be of increasing importance ill the con- meroisl world, is Is practically ignored in favor of tho dead languages. Our trade with Spanish America is growing, and the possibilities of its growth are immense. The best language for sn American to study, after bIs own, IS Spanish, unless the present indications of commercial development are at a fault.
 On this, Consul Geoeral OrittenGen, writing from the City Mexico, gays:
 ''I think the Spanish language should receive marked attention in our repu5- lie and more advanced schools. Edu- cated teachers should be employed at good salaries for that purpose. My ob- servatlon and experience here teach me that there Is a vide difference between a good and bad teacher. It is often more difficult to unlearn bad teachings than to learn the primary lessons in the first instance"
 The fact is that it isFalmost impossi- ble to learn to speak s language correct ly from one who js hmeelf foreigner in that language. This IS why so many modern languages, professedly learned at school, have to be learned over again, whenever the learner has occasion to use them. l. follows, therefore, that the facilities for the correct and practical acquisI'ion Of Sparish Ire greater in New Mexico than elsewhere in the Un- ited States. Yet, with blindness diff cult to comprehend, this language is be- ipg totally neglected here.-Las Vegas Optic.

THE damage done by the late storm was even more widespread then wss originally believed. Houses have set tied and cracked that had apparently wsathersd the storm IL good shape, and while some can be repaired and made tc do years of usefulness, others are dangerous and should be thrown down. Some Of them were little better than death traps before the storm ard the damages by the late rain has not added to their safety. Many of the miserable hovels gre occupied by the very poor, who because of the little rent exacted from them are compelled by the very force Of poverty to play fast and loose with fife. To prevent this board of commissioners should be appointed by the city council to inspect and if needs be ccf3em all unsafe buildings and walls. That there vas no locs of life con- sequant Upon the late storm is really marvellous.
