THE FATTED CALF.

Said Jack to Tom, one Summer day, " You're getting in baddish way,
 Your breath is short, your breast is flat, You need to weigh a dozen stone, And now you're only skin and bone;
 Why, you're as lean as l am fat. "Come out with me, my farm is near; I know you'll like our country cheer,
 My fruit is ripe, my eggs are new; I've claret. too, your favorite brand; Come out, now, come; say 'Yes,' of-hand; !;
 I'Il kill the fatted calf for you" " That last remark of yours, dear Jack,
 back"
 "I don't see why, though" Tom replied, "The fatted calf-tO take it's life Think of your children and your wife,
 And you committing suicide"

THE Nevada, California, Transcript, of October 6, had the following article:
 John w. Clark formerly of this city, is a candidate for District Attorney in Tucson, Arizona. MT. Clark's previous training eminently fits him to fill with ability such a position, and we hope he may be suc- cessful in securing the position. He pass ed through Santa Clara College, in this State, took course in Harvard University Law School, and read law with Williams & Johnson of this city for two years. In 1871 he was examined by the Supreme Court of the State, and although the examination was very long and rigid, he passed with ease and with great credit to himself There were eleven aplicants for admission at the time he was examined, and only five passed, MT. Clark standing the highest of the class. After his admission, he for med acopartnership with District Attorney M. $. Deal, Of this county, and remained in practice about two years, after which he went to his present place of residence The voters of Tucson can elect no better man for the position, and we hope ere long to be able to chronicle their favorable action in the matter.

A RAILROAD STRAW.

October 11th to 18th, President Grant and a party of distinguished men in public and private life, visited several points in Indian Territory. The President talked to the Cherokecs at Vinita on the 11th; to the Choctaws at Caddo on the 12th, and also to the Creeks at Muscogee. He said noth- ing about railways but confined his re- marks solely to giving good advice to the Indians and in praise of the country for it's adaptability to stOck-growing and the staple agricultural products; yet some of the big eastern dailies think the visit just before the meeting of Congress, has refer ence to the extension of railways. The Atlantic and Pacific extends from St. Lou is to Vinita in Indian Territory, and can go no further unless with consent of the Ind ians and additional legislation. The New York Herald, which uniformly puts a false construction upon all the Presidents movements, among other surmises, inti- mates that the object of the visit was to forward railways now under way in the Southwest and South. We surely hope it was for that purpose and that it will suc- ceed.
 
 enough to politically damn man to op- pose building railways into the great west. and we believe the good sense of the peo- pie in this respect is reviving. The great northern cities have an overland railway, but even they would be benefited by a through southern line. With the great Canada and Lake Shore lines to the West and Northwest, the cities of Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and others only grew faster and the country about them improved in. like proportion, and with the great lines through the lat ter, the cities and country along the great lakes grew as they never had before in wealth and population. And another overland from Louisiana or southern Mis- souri to San Diego, would only swell the business of the whole country; and while it would especially aid the whole southern part of the United States and it's southern Territories, 1t would still benefit the na- tion at large. It is immaterial to New York, Boston or San Francisco whether the ships that cross the ocean take south ern or northern route, and it would be about the same to them, if the overland cars were to pass over the 32d or 10th par allel of latitude or some over both.
 We hope the next session of Congress will take this broad and correct view of the subject, and that the Presidents visit to Indian Territory and other points in the isolated West, will induce him to strength en that body in this respect. AS we have before said, the nation has given the Tex as and Pacific company more valuable franchise looking to the future) than it cares for, but it is preferred that Congress shall modify this franchise-so that the na- ton will be gainer in the immediate trans action, and the company be enabled to at once give the country road which will reduce the nations expense and benefit the whole people, and particularly about ten millions of them. AS Congress is soon to assemble again, we hope every person who can make himself heard in Washington or with his representative in Congress, will not fail to exert himself as indicated.
