The following Is said to have been
the last thing written by Artemus
Ward:
Until quite recent I've boon a healthy
individual. I'm nearly sixty, and yet
I've got q muscle into my arms which
don't make my fists resemble the trade

a large yaller dog. He sed. "Oh,
yes" and I sed, "Oh, no." He sed,
"Do you want to be ground to pow
der?" sed, eyes I do, II there Is a
powder grindist handy" when he
struck me q disgusting blow In my left
eve, which caused thar concern to close
at once for repairs; but he didn't hurt
me any more, for I went for him en-
ergetically. His parents lived near
by, and l will simply state that fifteen
minits after I had gone for him, his
mother, seein' the prostr,tc form OF

CRUELTY TO ANIMAIs.-An interest
ing legal question has recently been
raised In New York city In relation to
the right claimed by Mr.. Henry Bergh,
President Of the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals, to stop
and detsin street railway cars and
other vehicles to which are harnessed
horses alleged By Mr.. Bergh to be unfit
for service. The Mayor Of New York
has addressed q letter to the Board OF
Police declaring the action Of Mr..
Bergh and his agents to be illegal, and
suggesting that the police force do not
In future extend to him the aid which
heretofore they have received. The
Mayor says that Mr.. Bergh's course,
though undoubtedly actuated BY phi
.lanthropic intentions, causcs great in
convenience to pedestrians by the stop
page Of vehicles in the thoroughfare
and also to the passengers. The proper
course, the Mayor says, would be to
collect the necessary evidence, and
then procuring a warrant, to arrest
and punish the drivers and other per-
sons who offend agaidst the law pro-
hibiting the exercise Of cruelty to
animals.

LEGAL Longevity.
From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.1

From the Philadelphia Ledger
In the obituary columns OF the PUB
lie Ledger are published, day after day,
notices Of the deaths of very nearly all
the persons who die In the city Of Phil
adeiphia or Its neighborhood. The
study of these obituary notices deyel-
opes the fact that quite n large number
Of Philadelphians live to an advanced
age. Longevity may indeed be one Of
the merits OF our city. The record Of
the last six months, beginning January
lst and closing June Both, shows that
In the obituary columns Of the Public
Ledqer there appeared during that Pc
Rod notices Of the deaths Of no less
than $50 persons who had lived to or
beyond the advanced age Of 80 years.
OF these, 1l6 were males and l68
females, showing that the females out
numbered the males by 52-about three
to two. A further analysis also demon
strates that whilst the females living
over 80 years outnumbered the males,
the females were also the longest-lived,
there being many more females than
males who lived to or beyond the age
Of 90 years. OF the ia males who
lived to or beyond so years, tho follow
numbers reached the various ages des-
ignated: so, twenty persons; 81, eight;

A curious scene occurred In the
County Court this morning. Alfred
Monlin, who has been before the
Courts in some capacity constantly for
many years, came in with a petition
for dismissal Of niue indictments fol-
libel on prominent citizens which are
pending against him. he presented
In support of this petition a document
Of immense length, which the Clerk
was requested to read. 1t began with
the charge that Hon. Ogdan Hoffman
Stephen J. Field, G.. G. Gorham, Judge
Lake, Judge Morrison, Judge Stanley,
and a long list Of other officials, had
conspired together with the Pacid,
Mail Company to cheat, defraud and
Cypress him, etc. At this point Judge
Stanley interrupted the reading, or
dered the petition rejected and directed
the clerk to take the documents, the
presentation OF which was al outrage

directed the Assistant District Attor.

against Moulin, and have him up for

The movement to bring out q straight
Republican ticket in San Francisco, In
opposition to the Democratic and Tax
payers tickets, Is likely to result in
decided action. It Is almost certain
that q full ticket will be nominated.
Australian papers received by the
steamer yesterday show that the late
scare, which cost the colonies some
millions Of dollars to prepare defenses
against the a~pprehended invasion from
California, was all the result Of a joke
played by two young men, who started
the story for the purpose Of creating u
momentary sensation.

sUrRo TUNNEL.

Thu sutro Tunnel at last accounts was ma
s,stanee or alT8 feet. Tho rock 10 naru, re.
ouIring powder. There is very httle wafer u
the ace Of the mine. -Enehan9e paper.
Thereby hangs a tale. The Sutro
tunnel is not a mine, never was a mine,
and the chances are that it never will
be a MISUNDERSTANDING the repre-
s~sntations more than a year ago that
the tunnel had struck a ledge or lode
Of argentiferous on. As a "drain
tunnel +" to the Comstock, II 1t should
ever reach II, every days experience
In our deepest mines proves 1t to be I'M
necessary-as the deeper the mines 60
the less water they have to contend
with. As an air tunnel, It might be-
come Of some use-provided we all
wait for fifteen years for the excava-
tlon Of air drifts. How much per ton
"royalty" for air Mr.. Sutro would
ask of the mine owners, Is N OF the
mysteries of future supplementary bills
which he may lobby through Congress.
Query : The distance from Corral Hol-
low, where the tunnel starts, being
about four and q half miles to the near
est point on the Comstock-at the Saw
age or Hale & Norcross-and as 1t has
occupied between twenty and twenty
one months to run the tunnel thus far,
and Is not half the size required by the
law Of Congress- the query naturally
arises among tho mine owners and
business men generally, how long will
It require for the tunnel to reach the
Comstock? And furthermore, are the
Manifested miners willing to pay out
OF their wages to Mr.. Sutro fourteen
dollars per month for the privilege Of
going In aud out Of his tunnel to and
from their work. Such Is Mr.. Sutro's
law. The mine owners won't pay this
"royalty," unless it is deducted from
the miners wages. They will not
voluntarily pay 1t, for the reason that
Mr.. Sutro will require two dollars for
every ton Of ore which will pass
through his tunnel-and even that will
be more royalty " than most Of them
can stand.

Pennsylvania railroad Was proceeding east

between Leechbury and Apollo, in Arm
strong county, tue engineer observed L wo-
man on the track waving her apron yio-
lcntly in the air. The first thought was of
danger, and he Immediately applied his
brakes and got the train stopped Just in
time to prevent terrible accident, as 4
mass Of rock, weighing about fifteen tons,
had fallen upon the track few rods from
where the woman had given the signal.
When the train stopped the passengers
were not long in ascertaining the cause and
appreciating the noble conduct of the poor
countrywoman to whose presence OF mind
they owed their rescue from shocking
casualty.
Colonel Hicks, the conductor of the
train, at once consulted with some oil the
messengers, and in Il short time purse OF
twenty dollars was made up and presented
to her. She gave her name as Mrs. Frank.
passenger ON the train, from whom we
obtuiped our information, desires that we
should commend the case Of this humble
woman TO the officers of the company. Had
if not been for her warning signal, the
train would have been dashed into Inc
rock. and serious damage to the tram, II
not to the passengers, wonld have been the
nseuuence.-Pittsbuyy Commercial, June
