FROM
ARIZONA.

A REPUBLICAN correspondent in
Phoenix, Arizona, writes the tol-
lowing, under date OF June q
Phoenix at present is the hottest
place in the United States, even
hotter than politics in Delaware,
which | suppose are very warm at
present. The thermometers in the
coolest and shadiest places in town
have registered as high as III al.
ready aud there is a prospect OF it
getting even hotter next month.
The temperature In the sun is not
known, and l don't believe it ever
will be, as there has never been
manufactured a thermometer that
would stand the rays of "Old Sol, !"
when he smiles on Arizona in the
summer months, and defes all
learned men 10 accurately tell how
hot he is.
There is the actnal and sensible
temperature here, because there is
SO little humidity in the atmosphere.
The former is what the heat really
is, and the later, the way you feel
it.
Notwithstanding this great heat
which would be sure death in the
East, | have he ard of but three
persons, who have had to quit work
in the fields, where they were ex-
posed to the sun. have felt very
little oppression from the heat and
expect to be in the mountains, pros
pecting the greater part of the sum
mer months, so l will escape the
worst of it. Everybody who could
afford it has gone to the coast or
into the mountains and Phoenix
little resembles the hustle it pre-
sented during the winter months.
The greater part of the small stores
have closed for the summer, as it
would not pay to keep them open
for what little business would be
done. Houses that could not be
procured at any price during the
winter, can now be gotten for their
care, and their owners are only too
glad to have somebody in them SO
they will not have to be closed.
Rents are Just one halt OF what
they were, and ice and vegetables
are the only things that are dear.
The price of the latter has been in
creased Oh account Of small crop
caused by the scarcity Of water
which often occurs.
Figs. dates apricots and cher.
ries have come and gone, and pears,
apples and peaches are ripening
fast. Farmers have harvested one
crop of hay and are preparing for
another. which will be ready blythe
middle OF the month. Ait crops
are dong well and will be heavy if
the water does not give out.
Willie O'Brien, who has lately
arrived from Mexico, is improving,
but is still very week.
DR.. Cooper, so far as l have been
able to learn, is about the same as
lastreported, and if he lives through
this summer. he will have good
chance OF going through the winter
which is not as hard on a consump-
tive as the hot months. A large
number OF my acquaintances who
had consumption, died in April,
which was the worst month Phoenix
has experienced for over year.
Hoping that my Wilmington
friends are we'll and that the Re-
publicans will be successful in the
coming campaign, | remain,
Very Respectfully Yours.
CLARENCE VERNON.
