on the hard surface of the smooth, gently
rounded slopes and fattor surfaces another and
quite q different kind of carving. and this must
have been mndo by some ancient race. To my
companion these were quite as new ms to my
self, and l can md no evidence that they were
ever noticed earlier than our visit. Those carv-
ings were cup shaped, with curious channels.
Tho channels were mostly from three to four
inchca In depth and of tho same width. The
holoe, arranged In circles, were about four
inches deep and about as wide, but q few were
somewhat larger. In one place were four pro-
~jections of solid rock standing nearly two. feet
above the level of the cliff, each with a deep,
well-caryed hole In the summit about eight
inches in diameter and about the same
in depth. These holes were black with age, APP
parently, though nre may have blackcnod them.
- was much puzzled TO account for these
carvings, and on my next visit TO Tucson men
toned them 10 Or. ii. G. Handy. He had q
short time previously received n book by Charles
Rau, published by the Smithsonian Institution
In 1852, describing the cup carvings OF Europe
and Asia-which ho showed me-and / at once
saw that tho Sonora carvings were of the same
character as those the book described. These
carvings are so similar TO those of the Temple
OF Chandelhar, India, also. that / think we MAY
without mistake assign them to the same origin,
namely, emblems of the phalllc worship of tho
ancient Aryans of India. No cup carvings like

The legislative threat TO reduce the
salaries OF Lay Judges 81 year, in case
these Judges succeed in showing that they
can not be constitntonaly legislated out
of office, is about as silly piece OF puer-
lie spite as one could well imagine. These
Judges may be of no use but while they
are constitutionally entitled to their plac-
es, they are certainly entitled to reasona-
BILE compensation. We don't believe that
the Legislature could abolish these Judg-
es by "fretzing them out, :" as the threat
has it, any more than 1t could abolish the
office OF Governor, or abolish the Govern
or while the office remained a sort of legal
vacancy, by reducing the salary TO one
cent year.
The inordinate hatred which the law.
yers-those OF them who feel that theirs
is the right to run the State-manifest to.
ward the Lay Judges is beginning TO make
the people suspicious of their motives.
With little time to work, it will do more
to popularize the Lay Judge element 10
our Courts than the Judges themselves
have ever been able TO do. These lawyers
stand ready TO defeat the constitutional
amendments prohibiting race tracks, &C.,
in order 10 pass an amendment remodel
ing the courts without the lay element.
One does moi need 10 believe in the Lay
Judges or in the wisdom Of retaining
them, in order 10 see the hbsurdity CT this
legal spleen. The people naturally begin
TO ask whether The State is to control the
lawyers, or the lawyers the State. HIM

One of the freeholders in the upper
part of our county, at a recent meeting,
put 10 a bill of $50 for services. When
it was asked that the bill be read, it
showed charges for services never per-
formed. Objection being made to the
bill, be voluntarily cut it down one-half,
and the bill was then ordered paid. This
freebooter has been quite steep in his
charges for services, we are told, for some
time past. We hope the Board is not in
the habit OF passing bills without having
them audited and read by items. That
would be inviting fraud.

The Washington correspondent of the
Trenton State Gazette says:
Mahlon Pitney will be candidate for
reelection, from the Fourth Congression
al District, next Fall, and the able efforts
he has made during this, his first term,
will probably be recognized by his con-
stituents, and they will return him. 1t is
said In Washington that Johnston Cornish
will oppose him, and that he is very anx-
ious to return to the Capital and resume
his former seat In the House. But mas
much as this is but gossip, too much de-
pendence should not be placed on Corn
ish's probable success, for the good ole
Jerseymen in the Fourth District have
probably realized by this time the grea
advantage and benefits that accrue tt
them, and will continue to accrue, so lorl

young Pitney represents them il

THAT is THE NEWS BROUGHT M GY LITTLE
ROCK PAPERS.
Carroll County 10 Have aegoIar Giant in t,a
Coming Contest.

That Carroll county is to be
represented IN The coming gnber-
material contest now seems most
likely. Col Polk Fanefer's
name is being freely used IN
connection with the Office of
governor, and is now IN LittIo
Rock, consulting his friends.
The Democrat of that city under
displayed head lines made tho
following announcement Monday
last:
Hon. Polk Fancher, Of Carroll coun
ty' who arrived in the city yesterday,
is o probable candidate tor governor.
he has been strongly urged by friends
to make the race, and is IN eensulta-
ton with friends today. Gel. Fancber
is one Of the most prominent democrats
of North Arkansas. lie mas been in
public life for many years aud has
never prov en- recreant to @ trust. lie
possesses a striking personality and IS
endowed with the happy faculty of
making friends wherever he goes.
His friends predict that should Re
enter the contest that he viii be very
formidable candidate.
Tuesday morning the following
appeared in the Gazette which
places much emphasis on the prob
ability OF Col. Fancher's entoring
the race:
Hon. J. Polk Fancher Of Carroll
county is in the city and will probably
announce his candidacy for governor
before he returns to his home in the
great Aorthwest.o He was regarded
as sure entry the race for Auditor,
but his friends are trying 70 convince
him that the northwestern part of the
state ought t9 be represented in the
gubernatorial contest. Col, Fancher
has strong personal following
thropgh the tate.
