Jay Gould, Vanderbilt and other capi talists are coming to Arizona with Gen. Fremont, which of itself indicates. that something is to be done with our mines, so long neglected, to say nothing of railroad enterprises that are to be inag urated and pushed forward. These two important en- terprises which affect the people of this section very materially, are to be put into shape by men who have the reputation of making their money tell.

 Tha Yuma Sentinel intimates that the Prescott people are disposed to be some what sectional toward their neighbors in Maricopa county. Quite the contrary is the case. While Prescott has ever been willing to assist the offspring, the naughty child has been inclined to be unruly and work against our every industry. We nave resources beyond measure and can we'll af- ford the sneers and insults sent out from all the one horse ranch towns down in the Valley nf Death.

 Rev. D. B. Wright, of the Marina Street Church, delivered very convincing and ex- cellent discourse last evening, on theism vs atheism. The Rev. gentleman handled his subject with judgdment ana fairness and inn hard thing 10 prove the existence of Supreme Being who directs the course of the mighty elements of heaven and earth. Hour spaces admitted we would be pleased to lay the sermon before our readers as it is a subject for much thought and has been very clearly and cleverly illustrated by MT. Wright. To-day, the excursionist, we presume, ar rived st Mancopa, where a few of the dIs- satisfied with Prescott would have the Capi- tol of the Territory located, aud the head quarters of the Military established. We are aware that d great influence has been brought to bear on General Mcdowell and others to procure change in our Military Headquarters, and at the same time some or these seemingly friendly gentlemen, are advising 1avapai people 10 love their neigh bors and drop sec,ionalism. There is no sweet milk n those Southern cocoanuts for Northern Arizona. It's all sour ana they will try and feed us on it. We can see through their little game, so transparent, and it will be nipped in the bud.

 RETURNED.-John Rees, Henry Boettcher and Geo. W. Si es returned to-day from a trip to the Northern line of AnzOna and perhaps into Utah. They visited the Ava Supsis in their secluded homes and extend ed their journey to the Big Canyon of the Colorado, where they beheld the river me- andering thr nugh and between those lofty walls fuil 500ofl high. The object of their trip was to find rich mine supposed to ex- ist somewhere north of Prescott. They found the country covered with sand stone any lava with an occasional streak of gran ite. The country does not bear any very strong evidences of beng highly impregna- ted with mineral, however they brought home ore that looKs good and may prove when tested 10 be very rich. They found the country destitute of water aud at one time they expected to go to Davy Joness before finding water. They think that the Hill and Freeman party will encounter great hardships on account of the scarcity ei water.

slavery was an institution in that coun
try. A certain iron-master caused man
who had offended him to be locked up
in an iron cage, and kept him confined
in it for length of time. AT last, while
be was absent on journey. the case OF
his wrctched prisoner came to the knowl-
edge of the Governor of the Province
The Governor caused the man, cage and
all, to be brought to- the Government
town, and invited the tyrannical iron
master to dine with him After the din.

in. Folding doors flew open, and the
iron cage, with its miserable captive. was
set down before the astonished guest.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 27.-The at
tendance at the opera tonight was
great surprise to many, notwithstand-
ing the firm stand Of the citizens
against the spectators. The house,
it is thought will not realize above
$500, and large number Of choice
seats we're unoccupied. The wealthy
class of society, who are habitual at
tendants at an opera, were conspicu-
ously absent and it is the impression
tonight that this class will give tho
entire season the go-by. Many people
here believe that Strakosch himself
was an interested party in the trick Of
the spectators. The spectators are
now offering their choice seats for the
regular price, with no takers. The
opera management cannot conceal its
disgust at the turn affairs have taken.

The opinion of different persons upon
the value Of green corn fodder are by no
means harmonious, and we are not sur
prised that il is one of the standard topics
for discussion whenever farmers come to-
gether. L. b. Arnold certainly good
authority, at one of the American Dairy
mems Association, stated, in discussing
this matter, that he had taken the milk OF
three patrons of cheese factory, in Octo-
ber, who were feeding nothing but grass,
and the milk of three others who had
nothing but corn sown broadcast.


He took an equal quantity of the milk
of each, and curdling it with the same
amount of rennet, at the same tempera-
ture, found after driving the curd. that the
milk of the corn-fed cows gave eight and
one-half per cent of curd, while that on IN
grass alone gave only six and one-half
per cent. of curd; showing gain OF near
thirty-three per cent. in favor OF corn iod-
der over grass. While perhaps, 1t may
be an open question as to the exact tenn
perature value of green corn fodder and
grass, it is certainly good policy to provide
q proper supply of the fodder to piece
out the pastures during drought, and dur
ing those months when they are al
wavs short The strength of the fodder
will vary much with the stage of maturity
in which it happens to be when cut and
fed.

- On the northern shores Of the B1ack
SEA lies the beautiful city of Odessa.
celebrated ~ the chief grain.exportine
city OF the Russian empire. But in
this city there is prison which is by
no means beautiful. To any person
unacquainted with the horrible sides of
mankind's character the following
would seem to be incredible. It is told
~ the Paris Steele, and is unquestion-
ably true:


Ayoung Russian Nihilist, MIR, Somoff.
had been for a years time incarcerated
IN that Odessa prison. The cell allotted
to him was SO filled with filth of every
description that he was daily near suf-
location. When he could not stand the
filthy smell any longer he petitioned
the authorities in the case to have him
placed before the proper Judges in the
matter and duly tried. This petition
maddened his jailer into downright
Russian frenzy, and his next order wps,


Take that scoundrel, tic him to the
lashing-post and give him twenty-five
knout strikes"


The subordinates, as in duty bound,
obeyed the mandate. They took Somoff,
tied him to the terrible Triangle, and
went 80 notify the jailer that his pris-
oner was ready for the execution.
Somoff. finding himself alone, and see-
ing . petroleum lamp burning above
him just within his reach-the tragedy
occurred in the evening tried to grab
it. Impossible! And then what did
this young Nihilist do to save himself
from disgraceful punishment, unjustly
inflicted upon him? He raised his face
to the lamp-chimney, caught it within
his mouth, tore it down, and let the
burning petroleum run down his body.
Nor did he utter a sound while his
clothes caught the flames and his body
began to singe. It was not till the
nauseating smell of the burning flesh
began to penetrate the jail-rooms that
the fact of Somoff's suicide was discov-
cred. He still fingered twenty-four
hours, but amid the most horrible
pains did not utter q cry. His only
complaint was that, being perfectly
ready to stand trial and suffer the laws
penalty, he had been subjected to an
unlawful and disgracetul punishment.

went to board with his mother.in-law,
between whom and himself there was
strong friendship. He is stilla boarder
in the same house in which his late
