A CHINESE FERRY.

Ferries in China are numerous, and so are the heavy carts to be ferried. The spectacle of a crossing is full of surprises says Rev. Arthur H. Smith in Village Life in China" To get one of the heavy carts down the steep and shelving incline to the river requires considerable engineering skill, and acci- dents are not infrequent When the edge of the ferry is reached the whole team must be unhitched. and each an imal got on board as hest it can be.
 Some animals make no trouble, and will give a mighty bound, landing somewhere or everywhere, to the emi- nent peril of any passengers on board When an animal refuses to budge-an occurrence at almost every crossing it's head is bandaged and it is lead around for long time so as to induce it to forget all about the ferry toat.
 At last it is led to the edge and urged to jump. which it will by no means do Then the drivers twist its tail, put a stick behind it as a lever, and get six men at each end of the stick, while six more tug at ropes which are attached to the animals horns.
 After a struggle, often lasting half an hour, and. frequently after prolonged and cruel beatings, the poor beasts are all on board, where the more excitable prance about among and over the hu- man passengers.
 Next comes the moving oc the heavy carts. which must be dragged onto the ferry boat by the strength of a small army of men.
 On the farther bank another exciting struggle occurs. The exit of the carts and animals is impeded by the strug- Sles Of parties who are eager to cross to the other shore, and cannot be con- tent to wait until the boat is unloaded. ] Order is unknown and it is a wonder that people are not more frequently ' killed in these tumultuous crossings.

CURIOUS BODY OF WATER.

The result of a survey of lake Chelan in the northern part of the state of Washington, has been given out by Gen. Merriam. He says in his report: ",rhe cliffs on each side of the lake were most precipitous. towering up i1 many places to a height of 1 300 to 2.OOO feet But it is the lake itself that is the greatest marvel Its waters are clear and blue and by actual soundings have been found to be of an average depth of 5000 feet This seems almost incredible, but it is the truth. The width of the lake varies from one and one-half to two miles, but the length is the most remarkable of all. When pointed up toward what appeared to be the head of the lake and asked the In dians if the lake was not about three miles long, they laughed and shook their heads They said it was a three days journey for a four pared canoe
 q determined to see for myself, so the next Smorning my engineer and l and two Indians started up the lake :n the largest canoe the natives possessed. It was impossible to go on the lake shore. as in most places the mountains ran sheer down to the waters edge. We rowed along until we came to the northern confine of the lake, and there we found that it made big bend to the rigth and stretched on and on. The next day we started out again, and on the third day at nightfall, just as the Indians had said. we reached the head of the lake On the return trip we measured the distance and found the length to be a fraction over 65 miles. This curiously narrow and deep body of water was cut right through the noun tains by the glaciers of bygone ages. At the foot of the lake is a great mo- raine"

PHASES OF BOOK BUYING.

An examination of the modern ten dencies in book buying shows that the novel still holds its popularity. The ex- ample of four books which have sold into the hundred thousands is the pas. year are too familiar to need recalling. The great reaction, according to the statements of publishers, whereby the popular fancy was turned to works of the romantic and dramatic type in preference to those of the psychological sort, still continues. Mr Howells may bewail the reception given to the "in- correct reports" of human nature. and only hope that, when the time comes for more human kind of fiction, the embodiment of it may sell to the mine hundred and ninety ninth thousand, ' like its predecessor but meanwhile the sale of them goes right on.
 One notable check on the tendency to turn to highly dramatic literature is the oportunity. through the expiration of copyright, to put masterpieces of the old school on sale cheaply Hawthorn S Scarlet Letter" has received plentiful treatment of this kind. It may be bought in paper for seven cents, in a

not proceed to disprove what they had
 just admitted. The principle upon
 which the defendant relies in support
 of its demurrer is stated in the first
 subdivision of the syllabus of the case
 of the People vs. City of Spring Valley
 21 H. E. Rep, S43, as follows: Filing
 an information in quo warranto against
 a municipal corporation by its cor
 porate name is an admission of its cor porate existence, which the relator af- terward cannot controvert, notwith- standing the very object and purpose
 of the proceedings are to show that the alleged corporation never had any le-
 gal existence" The case cited is iden- tical with the one we are so vitally in terested in. A demurrer was filed and
 sustained by the court. which held
 that the complaint or action should
 have been against the officers of the town to compel them to show under what authority they were conducting the business of the so-called town. The court held that by bringing suit against the corporation by name, the relator had conclusively admitted the only fact ! upon which it's proceedings against the
 defendant could be based. The demur-
 Ter was sustained and the only re-
 course for the plaintiff was to bring a new suit against the officers of the 1 town. The demurrer submitted by the | attorneys for Jerome in the case at is 1 sue goes on and cites a number of in l stances like the one cited above. l Should Judge Sloan decide against the | town the case will be appealed and +sII | meets and passes a bill that will cover the case. If Jerome is not legally incor- porated the towns ofFlorence, Williams, ] Flagstaff Nogales, Tempe and two or | three more Arizona towns are in the
 same boat. The town of Jerome has
 made great strides toward becoming a | city that the territory can be proud of since it was incorporated. and the in corporation must not be broken. The | mass of the people are in favor of the incorporation, and they will fight to q finish. MT. Hull is in favor of incorpo- | ration and does not object to paying his
 city taxes, but he thinks he has not been treated with the respect due him. A number of Jeromeites went to the Verde river this morning to spend the day. Every Sunday the teams are all
 out of the stables at o'clock in the
 morning.

THE NEWS or JEROME

Jerome, Ariz.. July 92.-(Special cor respondence of the Republican, )-The ice famine has once more been reliev- ed. For four days ice could not be had at any price, and the citizens were yearning for even a sight of ice. There will be no further trouble on that score next summer, for the T. F. Miller com- pany will put in an ice factory this winter in Jerome.

 A. M. Tetterington, who has been in Phoenix for the past ten months, is in Jerome this week visiting his cous- ins. Bernard and Carl Edgington. MT. Tetterington lives in the east but came to Arizona for his health.
 Edward Boyce left this morning for Chloride, where he will visit the labor union While in Jerome he organized q union of over 800 members.
 Will Hart and John Fain, two well known residents of Yavapai county, are on the coast at the present time, having all kinds of fun. Mir. Hart is proprietor of the O. K. Meat Market of Jerome, and Mir Fain is one of the hea- viest cattle owners of Oak creek. Cat alina Island will catch their trade for a few weeks.
 A question of vital importance tC Jerome is now being considered by Judge Sloan, and We are all waiting anxiously for his decision. The ques- tion is, are We incorporated or not We say yes, and G. w. Hull and hi: agents and attorneys say no. It is nov up to Judge Sloan. The case was sub mitted this week on briefs, and we cal only await the decision. The attorney for the territory filed their case agains the town of Jerome, and then in tn next sentence of the complaint at tempted to prove that thetown has m legal existence. Attorneys Reese Lin: and H. M. Globes filed a demurrer tt the complaint, contending that fl ing complaint against a town was ad mitting that the town had legal exist ence. and that they, therefore, coulC
