"The violet leaf figures not infre- quently among the recipes of the old Anglo Norman writers whose manu- scripts are preserved in the British mu- scum. In modern phramacopoeias the violet is noted for it's cathartic and emetic qualities. or to speak more ac- curately, the Viola tricolor. or pansy, possesses these useful attributes. The dog violet also is vaguely recorded in an old edition of Balfour's 'Botory' GS5+) to have been at some time or other prescribed for skin disease In the age of the Plantagenets monkish medical writers treated most dieaseS with the violet. whether dog. pansy or sweet March they do not state. Inter- mingled with multiplicity of ether ingredients the modest flower was usei to treat a streytnes of the hert,' an illness akin, we may suppose, to dys- pesia. Ii was said to be good also for tho stone. and if a broken fragment Of bone had to be expelled from the flesh the violet, with other herbs was con- sidered most useful. Into these old medical mixtures the violet was always introduced in a good handful and we are at liberty to suppose that it's pleas ant perfume, in an age when contrasts were much insisted on. was supposed to work wonders against noisome suppur- ative ailments
 We must confess to some doubt upon the subject of the violets alleged cffl- cicncy in cases of cancer, but we arc open to conviction. For the sake of suffering humanity we devoutly hope that if there should happen to be noti- ing in the new discovery, that some panacea will soon be found for arrest ing the ravages of this foul disease.

4 Yuma Mans Memory Plays Him @

H-hcn John GanGolfo, ST. came down Friday morning to his place of bu1iness ne found to his astonishnent that he was $500 poorer than when he closed business the night before. says the Yuma Sentinel. The loss happened in this wise. Mr. Gan dolfo has his safe in tle Hotel Gandolio clisac and daily deposits in this safe the money taken in at .,is store together with the s.o-.-s account books.

dents of this extraordinary case are correctly reported as to sequence of events, but declines to attest the ap parent relation of cause and effect.
 The best accessible medical talent agreed as to the diagnosis. so the can cerous nature of the growth. as attest ed by cultures. may be assumed, in the absence of proof to the contrary. The violet treatment was applied on the chance that it might do good and in the certainty that it could not do harm. The disease subsided, it ultimately dis appeared altogether. and the patient is now fully recovered, but whether vio- lets had anything to do with it is question which those for whom the matter has interest must decide for themselves. The medical authorities consulted by the Daily News naturally refused tp pass specific judgment upon the curative value of the violet in can cer treatment. Nevertheless. the de mand for violets has been so great of late that on more than one occasion famine prices have been paid for punches of them at COvent Garden hy those having friends known to be suffering from the too prevalent curse of cancer, and it is difficult to main tain a supply equal to the new de- mand.''
 Some one writing in the London Lam Cet takes the position that the reported cures Of cancer by means oi violet leaves are undoubtedly based upon CT TOTS of diagnosis. but the same writer goes on to observe that belief in the curative virtues of the violet is of very early origin. This authority gives the medicinal history of the violet as fol- lows:

NEW CURE FOR. CANCER.

British newspapers are deVoting un- limited space to the alleged cure of can cer by the application Of violet leaves. On account of the fatal consequences which usually attend this malignant disorder. it is only natural that the announcement of this new remedy should be hailed with universal inter- est, although the interest thus arous- ed will be mixed with an alloy of skep- ticism. As gathered by Public Opinion, the circumstances connected with the alleged discovery is as follows:
 Lady Margaret Marsham. sister of the earl Of Romney, was brought to the point of death by q cancer which de fled surgery. A visiting friend. who called to bid the unfortunate lady good bye. since she was believed by her phy- sicians to be in extremis, recalled that when a child she had hear an old nurse say that cancer could be cured by the leaves of the violet. No objection being raised to the experiment, since the du- ration Of life seemed q matter ci few hours at most. bunch of fresh violet leaves was procured and macerated in quart of water. Lint was soaked i1 the Ereenish infusion and applied to the seat of the disease. The lady did not die. The treatment was repeated daily, and coincidentally with it the malis- nant growth subsided. and at last quite The Daily News, which reports the facts. is authority for the further statement that Lady Margaret is now in good health, all trace of the cancerous trouble having disappeared. It assures it's readers that the incl

AN APPEAL FOR STATEHOOD.

The committee appointed at the late statehood convention to raise funds for the proper maintenance Of the crusade for the admission of Arizona as ono of the United States has been active in cevcral parts of the territory and has good report to make at the propc: time.
 Just now it is desirable to call the attention Of our people to the present condition of the campaign The first public hearing by the committee of the house of representatives has been held. \ few of our officials aud other public spirited citizens ably presented our cause before that committee. and. 1t ;s understood that such an impression has been created that We ::iay antioi- pate q favora blc report to the house. The committee will not be expected to take any decisive action until after the hearing given 10 New Mexico and Okla homa, which has been set for the 14th instant. l will then take some days. or perhaps weeks, for the report to be duly entered upon the calendar and rCach the stage of discussion and action Dy the house.
