The Art Of Seeing Things.

To be an observer, says John Bur
roughs in the course of an article on
"The Art OF Seeing Things in the
December Century, Is to see more than
the particular thing you are looking
for and expecting to see.
We may see coarsely and vaguely,as
most people do, nothing only masses
and unusual appearances. or we may
see finely and Discriminatory, taking
in the minute and the specific. In a
collection of stuffed birds the other
day, observed that a woodthrush
was mounted as in the act of song, its
open beak pointing straight to the
zenith. The taxidermist had not seen
truly. The thrush sings with its beak
but slightly elevated. Who has not
seen red squirrel or a gray squirrel
running up and down the trunk Of a
tree? But very few have noticed that
the position of the hind feet is the re-
verse in the one case from what it is

extended to the rear the toenails hook
ing to the bark, checking and control
ling the fall In most pictures the
feet are shown we'll drawn up under
the body in both cases.
People who discourse pleasantly and
accurately about the birds and flow
ers and external nature generally are
not therefore good observers. In their
walks do they see anything they did
not come out to see? Is there any
spontaneous or unprecedented see
ing? Do they make discoveries? Any
bird or creature may be hunted down,
any nest discovered If you lay seige to
it; but to find what you are not look
ing for, to catch the Shy winks and
gestures on every side, to see all the
by-play going on around you, missing
no significant note or movement, pene-
| trating every screen with your eye
beamss-that is to be an observer; that
is to have IAN eye practiced like a
blind mans touch, "a touch that can
distinguish a white horse from a
black--a detective eye that reads the
faintest signs. When Thcreau was at
Cape Cod he noticed that the horses
there had a certain muscle in their hips
inordinantly developed by reason OF
the insecure footing in the ever-yleld-
ing sand. Thoreau's vision at times
fitted things closely. During some
great fete in Paris, the Empress Eu-
genie and Queen Victoria were both
present. A reporter noticed that when
the royal personages came to sit down
Eugene looked behind her in doing so
to see that the chair was really there
but Victoria seated herself without
the backward glance, knowing there
must be a seat ready for her; there al
ways had been and there always would
be. The correspondent inferred that
the incident showed the difference be-
tween born royalty and hastily made
royalty. i wonder how many persons
in that vast assembly made this obser-
yaticn; probably very few. 1t denoted
gift fer seeing things.
If our powers of observation were
quick and sure enough, no doubt we
should see through most of the tricks
of the sleight-of-hand man. He fools
us because his hand is more dexterous
than our eye. He. captures our atten.
tion, and then commands us to see on
ly what he wishes us to see.

Union Label For Eggs.

Now comes the union label on veget-
ables, eggs, milk and butter. The
farmers have organized a union and
adopted label to distinguish their
produce from that grown by men who
are not organized. The union was
started in Broome county, N. Y. 1t is
called the International Farmers AS
sociation, and 1t intends TO have
branches throughout the United States
and Canada. The membership is con-
fined to those who actually till the soil.

 Of Gambling,
WIDE OPEN" WEST.

Special Correspondence of the Graphic;
 Oracle, Arizona, May 27.-A trip from Fl Paso, Texas, to Tucson, Arlz., over the Southern Pacific is devoid of special interest. The rail- road runs through what is practi- eally a barren desert. Here and there is q occasional oasis, or cattle ranch, and there are a few towns of some local importance, but these are few and far apart. The most inn portant towns are Deming. Lords burg ard Benson, from each of W hich a branch road runs out to some in- terior point. Deming is somewhat famous for the purity of it's water, which is shipped in tanks to other points. In rearly every restaurant and hotel in EI Paso is displayed the sign, "Pure Deming Water Served Here

Oracle is 3S miles northeast of Tucson and is situated on the uorta slope of the Santa Catalina range of mountains. It has a resident pOpu- lation of not over 9 souls, and is reached by daily stage line from Tucson. The stage leaves the latter
 at 6:30 a. Ill. and arrives here at l:3O D. m., carrying the mail. The trail leads across desert plain, the parch- ed and sandy bottoms of waterless river-beds, up tue mountain slope and across it till Oracle is reached, surrounded by green and refreshing trees, constantly tanned by pure and delightful mountain breezes. While the trip is tiresome it is greatly re- lieged by novel scenes. On either side of you are mountains, lifting their bleak spires into the blue of the skies, while all around you are cactus and bushes of a peculiar growth. For the first ten miles out of Tucson the sahuara or giant cactus four ishes, often growing to height of fifty feet and 8 circumference of four. At the distance of twelve miles out is the first relay and steam pumping station where the horses are changed and water supplied. Here the fol- lowing sign, which has strange sound for an Arkansan, is displayed;

Tucson is reached at the delightful hour of 3 o'clock in the morning only one train a day West or East Then some one is ushered into some sort of a hotel where he is given some sort of 8 room and charged at the rate of S2.50 a day, meals or no meals.
 Tucson is an old Mexican town recently Americanized. At present it has a population ot about 10000, one half Mexicans and the other half Americans. It's streets are narrow, crooked and queer. It's houses are chiefly one-story adobes. In the business part of town about every corner is a saloon and gam bling house, patronized indiscrimin- ately by Americans, Mexieans and Chinese. All of these Western towns are "wide open" on Sunday and every day and night in the week, but I saw more drunken men on the streets of Tucson in the little over one day l was there than in all the rest of the Western towns I have so far visited. Whether it is due to the class of population or the mean quality of liquor dispensed over the numerous bars of the town I am unable to venture an opinion.
 In the town is all kinds of gam bling-"w wide open" on the first floor. day or night, and the sign, "This Game Never Stops" finds conspicuous place, but I am told that the ever-present slot machines have been taboOed and ordered out by the municipal council Of course, all of this information is based on hearsay, for my wife knows that I don know a roulette machine from a faro table, or a deck of cards from a domino, and wouldn't recognize a saloon sign if 1 met it in the road. Therefore the above information is sub rosa, and for the exclusive bene- it of some of my male friends in Pine Bluff who take an interest in such matters, and of whom there are quite a few. but in ordering out the slo4 machines while other gam bling devices of aIess innocent nature

DEPUTY CONSTABLE CARR SLUGS AN OLD MAN WITH
 A PISTOL.
WAS FULL OF REVENGE
MT. AdOlph Altschul, Age 58, the Victim of the Dirty
 Work.

Mir. Adolph Altschul, a planter, who resides only few miles from this city, came to the city today to get his head sewed up and also to swear outa warrar against Deputy Constable George Cayr, whom he says struck him with pistol and knocked him down right Tn Justice Baldwin's court iL Washington township. Vixen he attempted to rise he was knocked down again with the same weapon and by the same man. A large gash was cut in the back of Mr. AItscbul's head and also in his forehead.
 Mr. Altschul went to Baldwin's court this morning to listen to the proceedings of a case, in which his daughter had been summoned. The case was of a very vile nature and was unfit for any lady to attend But, as Mr. Altsehul says, his daughter was forced to go by the deputy. She was, according to Mr. AltsehuPs story, pulled and knocked about by the officers in order to make her appear as witness. After the trial was finished MT. AltsehuI said he was going to mak Constable Plkington and Deputy Constable George Carr pay for the way they had treated his daughter. Carr then drew his gun and said, 'I have got it in for you anyway from last year" Mr. Altschul had walking stick and told Carr to come on with his gun. He jumped on the old nan and struck him in the head with the butt end of the revol- yer. The blow felled him and when he attempted to rise, Carr struck him again. H. R. .. Foster and others who were present interfered and Constable Pilkington placed MT. AItschul under arrest. He didn't want him to come to Pine Bluff, but Mr. Foster told him he would stand for the old mans ap- pearance. He came up town and as stated above visited doctor and Judge Vance, where a warrant was sworn out and turned over to Con- stable Stewart. The constable sent a deputy after Carr.
 Of all the lawlessness that has happened in Jefferson county the above is the worst of which we have ever heard. Pilkington and his followers, we are informed, have things their own way in Washington township, and in all probability the trial of Carr will be o. K. for him. It will have to be tried in Baldwin s court and no une asiness is felt on his part. He is charged with as sault with intent to kill. If Mr. Aleschuls statements are correct there should be a change in affairs in Washington township and that should take place at once.

Oracle's chief celebrity is due to a pamphlet entitled 'sWhere Shall We Send Our Tubercular Patients?" re gently written by Dr. Frank E. Wax ham, climatic expert of Chicago, but there have been people here for the past eighteen years, and now there are two ranches, each with 8 hotel large enough to accommodate all corners. The Roeblings, of Brook lyn bridge fame, spent several years here, and one of the McClures, of Me Cures Magazine, spent the winter and has just returned to the East.
 Of Oracle Dr. Waxham in his pam phlet says; "The ideal place in all Arizona is Oracle, situated 38 miles from Tucson at an altitude of 4,500 feet and reached by a daily stage. We have here warm, dry climate and at the same time secure the ad vantages of altitude. It is surround ed by mountains, and free from and perfectly protected from the wind aud dust storms which are often such an annoyance on the arid plalns of the Southwest. There are two or three ranches at Oracle The ranch owned by D. s. Dodge, and kLown as the Acacia ranch, is the stopping place of invalids coming here. The rates are $10 a week. The best of fare and the best of food, fresh, from the farm, can be had here, and few people will fail to improve in this magnificent climate of almost con stant sunshine.

WATER 9 CENTS PER BARREL. WATER FOR STOCK 10C PER HEAD.

After leaving the relay station about two miles in our rear we came across another charater of soil and cactus, The sahuaras had en- tirely disappeared and was seen no more, but iu it's place was thechoIla, another variety of cactus of smaller growth. presenting most grOtesque with a white fuzzy top, and a fruit in the sqape of a small pear. Several other species of cactus, of which I am told there are over fifty, appear from time to time through out the journey, and as l write I see from my window cactus garden wherein is displayed all the species of cactus indigenous to this soil. The last twelve miles of the journey is up and around the mountain side until Oracle is reached.

Speaking of ranches, [ had always thought prior to this visit to the Southwest, that a ranch was a large body of land employed for extensive cattle raising. But it is not. The word "raneh" is used anonymously with ssfarm," l" and may mean any kind and sized body of land from a ten-acr epatch up, employed in any kind of agriculture. stock raising or other purpose. Everything outside of a town lot that is fit for human habltation is kuown as "ranch. > Why, few miles from Tucson is a water ranch, from which the town is supplied with water. It seems that in boring wells for water-works a large and inexhaustible subterra- mean cavern of water vas discover cred, and this, of course, had to be styled water ranch"
