The recent tales in the newspapers as to the creation of animal and vege- table lite from complete inertia are as- founding in the extreme. Professors Lobe, of California university, is credited with having secured miracu- lous results in this direction, whilst a great French savant has made him. self famous by creating vegetable life in various forms in tiny drops of wa. ter. If the progress of discovery con- tinues in the future as it has done in the past, the people who live say at thousand years hence will have a mighty poor opinion of those who, at the present day, strut upon the stage of life.

The consolidation of Prescott's two telephone companies, which was con- summated yesterday was transaction which means much more to Arizona than appears on the face of it. All of the subscribers of the two systems will be served from one central office and there will be considerable of say ing effected to the community gener- ally as many of them have heretofore had the instruments of both systems. Subscribers of the Electric system will now have direct connection with Phoenix and all long distance lines, although nearly all other points reach ed by the Consolidated lines have been reached by the Prescott Electric con- pany. These are only few of the ad- vantages which will be derived from this consolidation as there are other benefits and advantages which will ac- crue later.

A CONTRAST.

It is a peculiar commentary or things in the present day that the prize-fighter is able to roll in wealth and live on the fat of the land, ard to finally retire from the pursuit of his vocation, with enormous riches amassed; whilst those who give their whole life's work to the betterinent of their fellows and the ennoblement of their race, go through life oftentimes leading hand to mouth existence, and finally retiring from active life, if they retire at all, on a mere pit tance, hardly sufficient to maintain existence.
 The fact is well-known that a clev- CT prize-fghter can, by beating his opponents into insensibility, accumu- late many thousands of dollars, the exact time in which he can put out his enemy, and take in the money depending upon his puglsllstic genius. It is said that the victor in the recent big prize fight received over S5,000 in prize money, and a much larger sum in actual bets won.
 Of course, the career of the prize fighter lasts at best but a few brief years, and then he is relegated. to ob- natural effluxion he is compelled to get down and out.
 The inference from all this is ob- vious. Of course, We cannot all be prize-fgbters, and the majority of us wouldn't if we could. But those who do work unceasingly for the vel fare of their fellow men will perhaps often wonder, it may be in a vague kind of way, why there is not more abundant material reward for virtue. and why the goddess does not con- rise triumphant, as she is usually supposed to do.

march of the empire is making itself felt that We in Arizona are to have a
 real Chautauqua amongst us and en- joy the literary feast inseparable thereto.
 One of the most distinguished ora tors and teachers of elocution in the United States namely. Profssor Mark
 E. Beal, will be the leading spirit in the affair, but there will be many other famous men present during the
 week throughout which the assembly
 will last. Rev. Himbrod of Phoenix,
 is also closely identified with the com ing assembly and has been greatly in strumental in its initiation iu Phoe- nix.
 Professor BeaI graduated from the Boston university in 1877 and i'm mediately was recognized as leader in his profession. He has held many university appointments and is rec ogniZed as perhaps the best Chautau qua reader in the east. He establish ed and conducted tor nine years the Rochester school of oratory and is we'll and favorably known as a skillful and successful teacher of oratory.
 The Santa Fe railroad is offering every possible inducement to Prescott ties and residents of northern Arizona to visit Phoenix during Chautauqua week and the road makes the tempt ing offer of half rate ticket, avail able any time after the 10th of March until the 31st of the month. Those who fail to take advantage of this liberal offer and of the treat in store for them in attending Chautauqua will do themselves an injustice and will miss | as memorable event in the social,life | of Arizona.

The naval appropriation bill calling for a total sun of S1O3, 300 900 indi- cates the great expense attached to maintaining a constant state of effici- ency in our navy. We are not alto gether free agents in this expenditure as all the navies of the world are be- ing added to and we must be fully prepared for the worst that may come.

A cartoon is recalled, which appear ed several months since in the Los Angeles Times, which pictured a spider web. 1t was at time just af- ter the Japanese army first landed in Manchuria and had made the first retreat. In the center of the web was the head of great big Russian and just on the outer edge of it was a re- presentation of a little Japanese. twill you walk into my parlor' were the suggestive words underneath the cartoon, the words ostensibly being uttered by the aforesaid Russian, the whole tenor of the cartoon being in tend e6 to illustrate the ease with which the Ru sian army would wipe up the earth with the Japanese, after turing them inward a short distance. Subsequent events in Manchuria would suggest revision of that car toon, as the Japanese have been lured for miles and miles from their land ing place, through a succession of re treats by the Russians, and the web seems to have been closely woven around the latter instead of the little Japs. This suggestion is made for what it is worth to the Times car toonist.

THE PRESIDENTS WIFE.

When the presidential party entered
 the senate gallery for the inauguration
 of the vice president the spectators
 were surprised to see Mrs. Roosevelt looking after her children herself.
 The entire family was present and
 there was no maid or orderly 10 take
 charge of the little ones. Mrs. Roose-
 welt helped the boys off with their coats and every one knows that it is
 easier to skin coon than to get
 small boy out of a reefer. She waited in the aisle until they were all seated
 and with an eye out for possible lark
 ing she had the little ones seated be- side her.
 Quentin, the youngest seemed deep ly interested in pair of new grey kid gloves which he had donned for the occasion though he occasionally cast an envious glance at the hand of Theo- dore, Jr., one finger of which was tied up with white rag. When his father entered the senate, Quentin became interested and in a voice loud enough to be heard in the galleries nearby be exclaimed, "Why there's papa!" Mrs. Roosevelt said something to him which him and later when he be- came restless she was again mildly re- proving.
 As soon as the president toUk his seat in the senate he looked up to | the gallery where his family sat and | smiled to them and they waved and | smiled back to him. When the cere- monies were concluded Mrs. Roosevelt | put the children into their coats again, motioned them into the aisle, assem- bled them and ushered them out ahead of her just as any obscnre and unob- served mother does.
 The simplicity and lack of self con- sciousness of the entire party consti tuted a picture not to be forgotten and as lesson against race suicide it may be doubted if even the presidents speeches and letters on that subject have been more eloquent. In the sen ite and diplomatic galleries there was probably not half dozen mothers who would have undertaken to manage done six children at tedious cere- nony, nor scarcely that many who would not have been embarrassed to lppear with a child unaccompanied by l maid.
 The simple motherliness of the first ady in the land was therefore most impressive, and the domesticity of he entire scene made an appeal to very one present irrespective of party IT feeling toward the president.

An eminent Philadelphia physician gives out the pleasing information that during this season of the year at least seventy percent of the people are walking about with their mouths and nostrils filled with pneumonia mi crobes. He hastens to add, however, that so long as a man takes good care of his health he is apt to get the bet ter of the bugs. The latter are ready to take advantage of any breach that carelessness discovers in the enemy's Notifications, but they are too sloth- ful foe to attempt to take a strong citadel by storm and too cowardly to lead forlorn charge.

THE CHAUTAU0UA ASSEMBLY

The coming Chautauqua assembly at Phoenix, which will be held from March Il to 18th, inclusive, promises to be a memorable function in the lit erary life of Arizona. It is the first affair ot the kind ever held Tn the ter ritory, and its organizers are doing everything possible to make it an un- qualified success. There is little doub that the aggregate result of their la bors will be as gratifying to literary people, as it will be successful from an educational point of view.

Yavapai county's republican mem-
 Der of the legislature does not seem to
 be making a very enviable record.
 While voting against the infamous court bill, because there were enough votes to pass it without his,
 he did everything possible to force
 that measure upon the people he is supposed to represent, but who pro-
 tested against its passage. A bill
 was recently Iailroaded through the
 house repeating the Andrews bill in reference to the payment of taxes by corporations. Ths bill provides that
 before they can obtain a standing in court to contest taxes they must first pay them into the treasury. When it was discovered that this had been re- pealed a motion was made to recall the bill from the enrolling and en- crossing committee when MT. Ander- son, according to the Gazette, opposed the resolution stating that he thought there was too much business before the house to take up time in reconsidering bills that it had passed. Gen. Wilson moved that the resolution be laid on the table but it failed to carry by vote of sixteen nays, seven ayes and one absent. Those voting in favor of the motion being laid on the table were Messrs. Anderson, Bailey, Ken nedy, Hull, Pattison, Bristol aud Wilson. Indications point to the of the act so that the obiec- .ionable clause be eliminated.

 It is said if this can be proved then a jury can assess no damages against the person breaking the marriage promise.

SOME LEGISLATIVE D0INGS.

The infamous superior court bill seems to have been abandoned by the
 legislature and a more infamous bill, one to establish circuit courts in every judicial district in Arizona, has been introduced with every prospect, iU is said of its being passed. Under five circuit courts established in the territory, the judges of each one to receive salary of 8, 800. It wipes out the district court as trial court except in federal cases and makes it in territorial cases a supreme court. The
 bill has been introduced separately in each house.
 The bill appropriating Sl9,000 for the construction of territorial bridge across the Gila at Florence was passed. An appropriation of s15, GOO for a sim liar structure was passed in 1885, and the bridge was built. The course of the stream changed afterwards, and left the bridge on dry land hence the need of new one.
 The bullion tax bill is as good as dead, although it has apparently not served its full purpose yet ir the leg islature, as a motion to postpone ac- tion on it indefinitely was defeated on Thursday.
 4 bill introduced in the house by MT. Pomeroy for the relief of the Crittenton home was unanimously passed under a suspension of the rules. It appropriates for the home S2, 400 in two years to be paid to the treasurer of the institution in install ments of S100 a month.
 Final action was taken on the bill providing for the working of Yuma convicts on the public highways. That had been amended so that the convicts could be employed on dikes l and levees and on"Cave creek wherev- | CT it menaces the capitol of Arizona. Mir. Strong, of Cochise, desired to i further amend the bill allowing the i convicts to be employed on subways. His amendment was allowed under of the rules. Mir. Strong explained that there was at Bisbee the only subway in the territory. As amended the bill was passed.
 The bill prohibiting persons who lad been convicted of the crime of from holding office in he territory or participating in any way in the enjoyment of public funds vas defeated.
 When Webb's house bill providing or territorial fair came up for ac- ion in the council, that body called l halt until the various legislation of he session could be grouped together md an estimate made of the expendi- ures which are being authorized This is the first record made by either louse, so far as reported, where a thought of the taxpayers of the terri ory seemed to have been considered.
