A LETTER FROM MR. KIMBLE,
What He Says of the Climate and Baautiful
Sights He Saw jn Arizona.
Pwknix, Arizona Dec. IS, lX'J.'i.
EiiiToit Pikk County I'hkss I am
very much pleased to receive a
copy of the Pukss here in this dis
tant land, and thinking that a short
description might interest your
readers, I write briefly. I expect
to stop on my way homo two or
three months in California and will
go from here to Los Angeles, and
(Santa Clara, from there to Portland,
Oregon, returning homo by way of
the Northern Pacific Kailroad.
After stopping one month in Now
Mexico, I came to Pluenix. It is
more l)oautiful hero than lever ex
expected to find any place, and the
climate is superb, Evory thing is so
wonderfully different from any
thing I ever saw or dreamed of , that
I can only mention a few. To come
here where no preparations are no
cessary lor winter, where it is as
warm as summer at home, where
the lMilm, the fig the orange and
peach trees are in fruit, the straw
berries rijKming, corn green, and all
kinds of garden truck growing in
December. The fields green with
alfalfa grass, thousands of horses,
cattle and sheep feeding on it, as
sleek and fat as though they were to
le shown at a fair . This grass grows
so luxuriously that it can be cut
from four to six times a year
What is cut for the city market and
to ship, sells for about five-dollars
per ton. It is hay, food and salt for
animals, and nothing else is fed, nor
do they need salt as they get sufllci
ent from the hay. No barns are re
quired, except for carriages, and
horsos tliat need some shelter. The
hay is piled up out doors for the
sun shines 303 days in a year. The
air is so dry the lmy will not mold
or rot. And if a shower comes it
soon dries up. The roses, oleanders,
chrysanthemums and all other kinds
of flowers, are so much more grand,
1 ixuriant, and beautiful tlian I can
describe, tliat one must sou them to
believe or realize what I see every
day. The sun is very bright and
affects my poor eye tliat Imustclose,
but I will write aguiu s joii.
Truly yours,
EeiiRiAM Kimble.

Our readers will poruso with in
terest the above letter from Mr.
What An Exchange Says of the Sport In Pike
County.
In a recent issue of tho Strouds
burg Times, we notice an article
ntitled "Hport in Pike County,"
credited to the Brooklyn Transcript
and written by " B. H. R."
We have no objection to whatever
there may bo of wit or humor in the
article, and we have no manner of
doubt but that tho writer saw
snakes and probably had them in
his hat, boots and clothes generally,
and it is also quite likely that he saw
a deep precipice on each side of the
road over 200 feet deep. It is also
very likely that unless he changes
his beverage he will see a bottom.
less pit all around him, filled with
snakes and other things of assorted
sizes and color, holding in their
hands small tridents upon which to
catch and toss such souls as those
posse who mistake wanton aband
onment of veracity for wit or humor,
We do not object to bear and snake
stories. Pike county is proverbial
as being the scene of deadly en
counters, hair breadth escapes and
thrilling adventures with beasts and
reptiles and she has survived this
reputation and prospered, not with
standing. Those scenes of adventure
might be laid in any county in the
state with equal truth and justice,
and we submit if they are not stale,
yeB.rotten " chestnuts".
The people who read such trash
are more or less impressed, and gain
a very false idea of our real sur
roundings. Of course they readily
discern the bold and naked exagger
ation, but they do not know but
what there may be some truth in
thejsnake and precipice yarns, and
these are remembered to our de
triment. Recently a party of peo
ple visited here, and they expressed
great astonishment at our roads and
scenery. They hud read of Pike.aud

A Country Editor'! Trilnlnf.
It has well been said that there
is no place so difficult to fill as that
of a country editor. In cities a man
who can "do" one department well,
no there himself about none
other. The city man has his speci
alty and sticks to it. "But the conn
try editor must be good in all de
partments : he must be well read on
all subjects ; he must be able to (lis
cern the trend of the public mind,
in politics, religious and social topics.
He must write of the Presidont and
pumpkins. He must mind men of
high degree and condescend to
things of low estate ; in short, he
must be an 'all around man.' It is
this that makes the position of a
country editor so hard to fill. It is
this training that makes the country
editor such a splendid manager of a
metropolitan daily." There is no
place except in a country office
where such all-round training can Ijo
had. Mid-Continent.

How tli Smartest Man on Earth Turned

There may be some question perhapi
of Emperor William's success in seeking
distinction in kingcraft, oratory, art
and letters, but by a single utterance
this week he has compelled even his
French critics to greet him as a master
of courtly speech. Addressing a young
and pretty Danish violinist, he is re
ported to have said:
"Mademoiselle, yon play the violin
admirably. When I listen to yon with
my eyes olosed, I believe I bear Bara-
sate. Yet I prefer to keep my eyes open. "
The astonishment of the French press
over this graceful and felicitous compli
ment is amusing. They have reopened
the old qnestion, "Is it possible for the
German to nave wit? and are discuas-
