WHERE DEER DRINK.
NIGHTLY VISITS TO A SPRING IN
ARIZONA TERRITORY.
Strange March Witnessed by a Pros
pector in the Lava Bcds-Herd APP
proaches the Water When the Digni-
fed Buck Scout Signals.


No region in the world possesses as
much of weird grandeur as the lava
beds of Arizona. No portion OF this
wild district is so weird, so fantastical-
ly wild as the narrow canyon of Tres
Alamos. Securely hidden in the noun
tain Businesses, it is the most forbid
ding of all the many gulcheS with
which the region aboundS. Vegetation
Is almost absent. But three evidences
Of what more favorable ground might
do are present. These are the three
cottonwood trees which give the can
yon its name. The rocks which com
pose the sides and floor of this strange
canyon are what are known as con-
glomerate among prOspectors. They
contain a badly mingled mass of mate
rails, including the precious metals,
but they are so fearfully mixed that
they are useless for any scientific pur-
pose. Few men have ventured into
the canyon. still fewer would care to
remain longer than necessary to drink
of the spring which gushes out of the
rocks at the roots of the trees.
No man who has prOwled about Ari-
zona has seen wilder sights than l.. J.
Court. He is a prospector who has
passed many years wandering about
the Territories in search of pay dirt.
He is known all over the Pacific coast
and has been in every nook Of the
dreary region where the earth vomited
out its floods of lava rock. He put in
several days and nights in Tres Ala
mos and witnessed the wild animals
on their nightly visits to the spring for
water. He recently made a visit to
Phoenix after having remained in the
canyon for Il time. He relates an in
teresting story of his observations
while out in the lava beds. He de

At the international congress of lcp-
rosy, which has Just been brought to a
conclusion ut Berlin, the startling fact
was elected that the disease is very
prevalent in France, especially in the
northern districts thereof, and that it is
on the increase. This discovery and
the data furnished by the French medi
cal authorities contributed in no small
measure to the resolution voted by the
Congress to the effect that leprosy is
contagious.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has given an important decision
against the Frankfort kentucky lot
terry. 1t was claimed in behalf of the
lottery that its charter was contract
and that as the United States cOnstitu
ton forbidS any State to pass law i'm
pairing conracts. the provision of the
new Kentucky constitution revoking all
charters of lotteries was invalid. The
Supreme Court took the ground that a
lottery grant is in no sense contract
within the meaning Of the constitution,
but Is simply license which the
State. for the protection of the public
morals, may at any time revoke. This
decision has a wide application, be-
cause. under the contrary view, any
lottery which had once been chartered
i'm any State would be forever secure
against n Withdrawal of its privileges.

Twenty families are said to have
moved into the cottages that form the
nucleus of the colony founded by the
Salvation Army at Soledad, California.
Each family is to have a farm of ten
acres for cultivation principally of the
sugar beet, and Claus Spreckels has
agreed to use the product. Apparently
the colony is to be restricted to fifty
families, who will till an area of 500
acres The colonists, presumably, come
from the overcrowded cities, and it re-
mains to be seen what they are worth
at farming. AT all events, there should
be less cause for encouragement than
in the case of the colony peopled with

1t cost the state net $122,415 to care
for the 1876 convicts in the prison at
Charlestown last year. This was an
increase of $2S,9S3 over the previous
year, when there were 80 less prisoners.
The net cost of the Concord reformatory
was $190,595, and the number Of pris-
oners was 9SS, or 50 more than in the
preceding year. The cost of the wom-
EMS prison at Sherborn was $S2,O or
$5oS9 less than in 1886. The saving is
partly owing to the smaller number of
inmates.

Not Harvard, but Wesleyan Univer-
sity, situated at Middletown, Conn, is
the latest victim Of infiammatory pro-
hibition sentiment. The alumni had a
banquet in New York, few weeks ago,
and some of the diners were so bold and
bad as to take the liberty Of ordering
wine, on private account, when they
found that 1T was not included in the
bill of fare. Now the protests are pour
ing into the office of the Voice, and
there is a terrible to-do because Of the
horrible example thus set by the alumni
to the students of this rigid Methodist
institution. Unluckily for the would-be
discipIinarians, the alumni are quite be-
yond their jurisdiction.
