april. The same reports abo.@ 5he highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S S1 degrees and 42 degrees, December 73h degrees and 36h degrees, January 651l degrees and 32 degrees, Feb ruary 7lH degrees and 35H de rees. March 8l1l degrees and 4l degrees and April s6H degrees and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an Overcoat is not needed during the day, but it is never prudent for stranger to be without one at hand
 The atmosphere IS singulsrly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it 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 in the part. of Morocco. Algiers 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 game in quality as the air on the Nile between Asrouan and Wady. Halfa, but somewhat cooler.
 ARIZONA.
 frizon2. stands at the threshold of CD era of wonderful social ani industrial de. veiopment. There can't be @ doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she ha. waited 50 long is breaking at last. Thore is every promise Of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and enc, gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect o many things, which made but small i'm pression as they transpired siugly. is now commanding for her full share of stten tiOn and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up fo the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. Ther is scramble for franchises. Nothing nor surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest ar falling to moderate figures. Nothing nor surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lend rs than this.
 Arizona has reached that climactice period which every western state has ex perienced sometime in it's history when after long and weary struggle and doub,
 with each side of the balance first up an
 then down. the clouds of despondenc
 have suddenly rolled away, and 8 sunhurr
 of energizing hope has thrilled the drooY i. ing spirits of the people to greater all
 braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsidenc of the great Tombstone boom and the con
 pletion of two transcontinental lines ( railroad across her territory-Arizona ha rather dropped out of public attention but in that time she has been quietly ac D. cumulating fund of substantial wealt
 and a force of moral character whic
 qualify her now to rise up and take he D destiny in her own hands.
 - The population of Af:zoas Is Mexican !, This is mistake of great importance fro, the moral point of view. There is but on
 considerable center of Mexican populatio
 in the territory, the city of Tucson, an a even thcre it is not by any means at prel Il ent the predominating element. It thin it is certain that Arizona has not to-da /, nearly so large Mexican population g u Colorado and not above one.tenth as muc = as New Mexico >"Fitz.Mac. in Denvs ]. News.
