Arizona. It is pre-eminently a land contradictions, for in many parts of country, firewood is dug from the th, and bay is chopped from the und with hoes. The roots of the 'oaqult furnish a wood almost as hard mahogany, and averaging about the ze of 8-4nan's thigh. The Colorado and Membres rivers tow for long distances underground, nil suddenly, though imperceptibly, .merging become once more streams of nsiderable magnitude. The course the lattej river can be traced by the tanted timber along its banks, but roe to the thirsty traveler across these ,lains if ho fails to striko it at ono of ts oases. Ilis only resource then is to ravel either up or down until be finds jtaar and beautiful streams flowing era stony bed. This river is supposto empty into the tamed but inyste*iohs Lake Guzman, bm loses itself in earth a hundred miles to the north. 'Ills arid country is mere

Irago, and now&cre can it be seen in eater beauty, and with clearer reflecions. Guzman can be seen someimes at loast fifty milos to the noithWard, and tho shadows of the trees in Its cloar waters are distinctly visiblo.

Others but I ain inclined to think, on 0 whole, that their great grand tighter* will be the beat,—T. W. fwptiwmi.

A WOMAN'S OPINION. A woman writing in a San Francisco r, gives the men a rap over the nnckles in this fashion: "You men are deluded on this subject of matrimony. You meet a woman attractive to you, and forthwith you conclude that the be all and end-all of her existence here is a place in your own private cage, where she is to sing for your own exclusive benefit. We propose soon to take a hand in this world's little game we're trying to learn from you how you've managed so long and so successfully to stock the cards we propose to trump our share of the tricks and see that the honors are more evenly divid ed we may not all vote, or officiate on platforms like Mrs. Stanton or Miss Anthony, but things are working a new deal all around is being quietly shuffled out, and in a year or two more some of you gentlemen who deem all a woman's fitness to be for making your beds, cooking your food, scrubbing your floors and rocking your cradles, will bo astounded by the position held by us." She lurther says that men will make marriage propositions after a six weeks' acquaintance, when in reality thoy know no more of the woman whom they ask to marry them than they do the man in the moon. But she forgets to say, that, generally speaking for every aolt of a man who makes such a proposition blindly, there is a goose of a woman to accept the proposition, and make two fools instead of one. Marriage should be the result of love based on mutual knowledge of each other, and affinity of tastes undoubted and strong, not on the passing fancy of an hour, which comes to all as the summer breeze to every sunny day, or the strong nor'wester of a wintry night.

MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.— Though "confirmations strong as proofs of Holy Writ" and as numerous as the sands on tho sea shore, were produced to prove that Dr. Pierce, the proprietor of Dr. Sago's Catarrh Remedy, is in earnest ana means whet he says, when he offers $.000 reward for a case of Catarrh which ho cannot cure, yet there would be some skeptics and fogies who would shout, "Humbug!" "Humbug!" "It cannot be, because Dr. Homespun says Catarrh cannot be cured." Now, this Dr. Homespun is tho identical, goodnatured old fellow who honestly beld persists in declaring that this earth is not round or spherical, but flat as a "slapjack" and does not turn over, otherwise tho water would all be spilled out of Deacon Bascom's mill j)ond. But astronomical scionce has positively demonstrated and proven that Dr. Homespun is wrong in supposing this oarth to bo flat and stationary, and medical science Is d&ily proving*the fact that he is no less mistaken itna bd* hind the times in regtflfl. to the cura? bility of Catarrh. In short, it hiw been positively proven thaf^his worlcrmoves and that medical scielfce is progressive —the opinion of Dr/Homespun to the contrary notwithstanding. That Dr. Sage's Oatatrh Remedy will cure Catarrh, thousands who have used it attest.
