ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- Yelopment There can't be doubt about the fact The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten ton and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 i lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is a 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 energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater aIld braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com- pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is a mistake of great importance froIn the moral point of view. There Is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tncson and even there it is not hy any means at pres ent the prc32minatinE element It think 1t Is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth a much as New Mexico.

its Attractions and Advantages as a
 Place Of Residence in Winter.

Whiteaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in AI.zona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that fart of the country. Mr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such deartb of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.

 During five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when lhe weather made it actually for me to take exercise in She open air at some time or other during the day, Of course there were a good many days N hich Q weather observer would de scribe as "cloudy," and some that were ''sLo@ery; but during these five months (from No' ember. 1895, to May, lS96.1 there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine. As to details:

A white man first set foot on what is now Yrma County in I77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a 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 aills, upon whose crests and sides the -noderm homes of our superior civilization are crow ding 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 country are at present turned, and as such,
 is bound to grow and prosper with Yapidity that at present can hardly be re alized. But coupled with her geographi- gal position we find that she is the center of country whose agricultural possib'li- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta Of the Nile, ana wanting olly water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma very doors, but already a reaction is taking place aad many enterprises are on foot to supply the fife giving waters Of She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

The atmosphere is singuIarly clear, tonic and dry, have never seen 1t clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than Tn the parts of Morocco. Algers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely. closed deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases OF of ten are caused by catarrh.
