IRON SPRINGS.

of The Republican, |-Reallyi Phoenix reminds you of the Scotch congregation whose min ister boasted that he could preach a |sermon two hours long and at the end be "as fresh as a daisy" But" said he, mon! ye should see that |congregation, it was all tired out" Phoenix looks warm and weary though it is, generally speaking, cheerful. With sincre sympathy every one, as far as possible, has been advised to come to Iron Springs and cool off. When told that it has been comfortable to sit by the fire some evenings, only in Icredulous politeness has looked out of the hearers eyes. Only the ac-
 tual experience can enable anyone to appreciate the difference in cli-
 mate between Phoenix and this place. One trip either way will | of the colony has become so ac- customed to comfort that Phoenix
 temperature is forgotten and you
 are tempted to return, take the
 Elder Weller's advice to Samivel about marrying a widow, Don't" The ride from Phoenix is mostly through a new country Where, at this season, there is usually a dry,
 sunbaked desert shimmering in the
 blazing sunlight, now there are
 green fields and rich pastures. The copious rains have clothed the foot hills, the little valleys and even the
 mountains with a carpet of grass
 and flowers. We ride for a hun
 dred miles through the Green
 mountains of Arizona" Even the
 railroad tracks between the rails
 stretches out behind the train like
 green ribbon. The sheep will find
 rich pasturage on the desert this lfall
