The Los Angeles Times says:
I '’her** ire several important
colonization enterprises now under
way in Arizona which promises to
largely increase the population of
[ that Territory within the next few
years. The advance which has
been made by Arizona in a horti
i cultural direction during th p*st
five years has been <|uit<* n ina* li
able. A dozen years ago, when the
Tombstone mines the atten-
tion of the country to the land of
» sunshine and silver, scarcely ajny
-1 one*outside of the Territory was
aware that anyth'ug hut cactus
■ and could be made to grow
down there. Now, however, there
ore already thousands upon thous
ands of acres of orchard and vine
yard along the valleys of the Salt
and Gila rivers and canals have
been constructed which will irrigate
sufficient lands for of.
acres more. Already Arizona fruits
are being shipped east in consider
able quantities and may be found
in the markets of the great cities.
Arizona is just now in the transi
tion stage, through which Califor
nia passed about twenty-five years
ago, and judging from has
already been accomplished, we may
expect to see a wonderful transfor
mation in the Territory within the
next decade.
ft
With statehood, which now
pears to be a certainty within a
very brief time, the land of the Gila
monster and sahuara will enter
upon its career as a garden instead
of a desert and will add one more
to the marvellous proofs of what
can be accomplished in the, arid
west by means of water. The peo
pie of Los Angeles watch with in
terest and spmpathy the develop
ment of this Territory which they
regard as a portion of their baek
country.
One of the greatest enemies of
this republic is that destroyer of
happiness known as the “classical
musical teacher.” No agent has
done more to perpetuate our form
of republican government than pop
ular music. It has won battles,
made happy i oines, civilized th
savage, end in a thousand and one
ways added to our greatness. All
of our great inventors were lovers
of p ’pnlar airs. No mother ever
raised a child or rocked it to sleep
with the discordant sounds of a
modern “selection.” The child
would cry itself to sleep over such
music. De Kouski, the musical
purveyor to the Austrian court,
conld not draw a pa> ing house thro’-
out all the United States, and took
back to his native country only a
few weeks ago a poor opinion of
Americans, whom he characterized
as “too sympathetic” to appreciate
music. Music is the art of inspir
ing the soul to better deeds, but
raus»c must have melody as its
groundwork to in pir * anything.
New York has a novei society for
the amelioration of distress called
the Association for Improving th«
Condition of the Poor in its De
partment of Food Supply. It also
has one for the Distribution of
Flowers to the Poor. It is expected
another club will soon b« organized
for the Promulgation and Distribu
tion of Chafing D shos Among tlm
Deserving Destitute. It does no
seem to have struck N«w Yorker*
that a society for Providing Horse
Sense for Persons Who Can Help
the Poor but don’t know How,
would be a mighty good thing.

The first white person lawfully
cremated within the present limits
of the United States, according to
wishes and desires expressed by
himself, was 001. Henry Laurens,
* one of the Revolutionary patriots
He was born in Charleston, S. C.
in the y«ar 1724, and died on his
1 plantation near that place on Dec;
8, 1792 His will, which he had
requested them to open and read
the nex'. day after his death, was
supplemented with the following:
“ I solemnly eujoin it upon roy son
as an indispensible duty, that, as
soon as he conveniently can after
my decease, he causa my body to
be wrapped in 1.2 yards of toweloth
and burned until it he entirely cobl
- i The request was-, carried
out to the letter and was the begin
ning of cremation in America.
At a recent social event in the
country there was present a digui
fiod and very slender young man
from town who, it was easy to see,*
had a very good opinion of himself.
A not altogether flattering reputa
tion, acquired by his alleged tenor
voice, had preceded him to the
backwoods, and soon after his ar
rival he was surrounded by a bevy
of mischievous rustic maidens, who
i
begged him fora song. Like many
young singers he needed much pei* 1 -
suasion. While the girls insisted,
an old farmer, who had been stand
ing near by for some time, suddenly
cried out: “Sing for ’em, young
man. I know you kin sing—you’ve
got legs so much like a mawkin’
bird’s. He did not sing.
A citizen of the southern part
of the territory is said to be con
vinced that the human race had
tails like monkeys at no distant
date, as he has found stone slabs
scooped out for seats, and at the
proper distances, just back of the
seats, are holes where the tails hung
through when the people sat down.
Some of the seats were backed,
while the others showed where the
backs were broken off.—Courier.
Another proof of the wonderful
effects of our glorious climate.
One whose charity is as broad as
the earth, who is generous to; a
fault, who is honest to a rival; who
becoming a friend, remains a friend
through thick and thin; who, lov
ing, loves with all the ardor of a
noble, consistent mind; who being
convinced of the right, is as immo
vable as a sphinx and yet is wise
enough to hold his judgment in sus
pense and to change his attitude
should superior arguments be bra’t
to bear—such a one is an ideal man
and one of nature’s noblemen.^—Ex.
A great strike was made in the
Golden Cross at Gold Rock last
Sunday. A big pocket, was de
veloped from whieh fabulously rich
stuff was taken, some reports plac
ing it as high as $7,000 to the ton.
Up to last accounts the end of the
pocket had not been reached. The
distance from the surface was
about 150 feet, Further details
will be awaited with interest. The
Golden Cross is proving itself to be
a splendid property.—Courier.
The gravel chute at the prison
went down last Wednesday after
noon The cause was the excavat
ing which had been done to allow
wagons to get under the chute.
Two large boulders were loosened
at the northwest corner and when
they were taken out the structure
went over. The convicts were
taken off just in time to save them.
A new chute will be pat ap at once
and tfyc work resumed.—Times.

A great deal has been said and
much speculation been indulged in
with reference to the question
whether the celestial worlds are in
habited by intellectual brings simi
lar to the earth-inhabiting man.
It scarcely admit* of a doubt that
this interesting qaestion will ever
remain a mere matter of specula
tion, but let us suppose that beings
resembling men in stature were
dwelling on those glorious orbs we
see in the vast vault of the heaven*,
and let us investigate what propor
tions they would bear to us, pro
vided the length oI their bodies
were in the jpauie ratio.to the diam
eter of their respective globe as ours
to the diameter of the earth. For
this reason wo have chosen the lar
gest orb that our solar system, the
central body of that system itself
a‘d the most star in the
sky.- The average inhabitant of the
planet Jupiter should stand about
sixty feet iu his show. Were such
a Jovian to visit our earth, hs
would be able, without danger of
dislocating his neck,.,to look into
the topmost stortes of otir metro
politan buildings: A Jovian in
fantas cradle would be considered
by us a very comfortable bed to
rest in. The huge soldiers of
Ariovistua whose mere sight struck
terror into Caesar’s legions, would
dwindle into very -pigmies were
they to be compared, with the
Jovian soldier; the latter would
coolly pick up King Ariovistua
himself, with three or four of his
body-guard and put them into his
knapsack to keep them as animated
toys to play wifchr daring the hours lW
of rest. —BaltimoreTSun.
The 10-stamp mill for the Hug
get mine has arrived at Gila City
and will he hauled -06 the ground as
rapidly as possible. Considerable
delay Wat necessitated m shipping
the mill by reason of hating to re
load it at Colton. The Southern
Pacific claimed that the ’ machinery
was not properly loaded eh the cars
and refused to receive them from
the Santa Fe. Sentinel.
Beginning with today the time
in the S. P. shops will be restored
to the old schedule of pine hours
for a day’s work. As the men get
paid by the hour they are naturally
elated at the change. It is also
pleasing to know that affairs in
railroad circles require this renew
ed activity. It is an indication
that times are getting better in all
branches of business.—Prospector
Water storage can be accomplished
economically for the Salt River val*
ley if the land owners will take
hold of the matter themselves. All
the necessities for a retaining dam
at the proper point on the Salt
River are on the ground. Men of
push and enterprise are wanted to
carry it through.—Herald.
