The Bellies Of Milan.
From the London Examiner.

From the London Examiner.
A good story reaches lis from Milan.
a young nobleman of that city of mar.
riageahlc age, and master of a fortune
of 10000 francs 4 year, not long ago
came to the conclusion that it was
time for him to look out for Il wife.
Ills pursuits in life not being of the
most strenuous character, he had lei.
SIRE to combine amusement with re.
search. Accordingly he advertised his
Wa.t in Il Milanese newspaper. request
ing that every answer to the advertise.
mcnt might be accompanied with the
portrait of the lady who replied.
\ collateral result Of this notice was
that two or three Of the best photo.

work on their hands than they could
attend to. The direct result was six:
ty.five letters, with rs many fair and
m:sidenly cOuntenances as would fur.

were in some cases accompanied by pa.
rental certificates, setting forth in
touching language the charms and vir.
tues of their daughters. Embarrassed
by choice of unexpected variety, and

which even the serious nature of his
request could not repress, the young
man replied to each Of his correspond.

vantage.
To each Of the ladies, of course with
out knowledge of the others. he sent a
ticket for on orchestra stall in the
Scala Theatre; announcing that he
himself would he in a particular box,
the number and situation of which he
stated. A few evenings later the play
going public of Milan were perplexed
to explain the appearance of one of the
rows of stalls in the immense building.

ly, and with trepidation, did each dam.
sci, from time to time, raise her oprea
glass to that box-thes cynosure of
many bright eyes-in which the grace

with darkened brow, did each damsel
turn to the long file Of her neighbors,
and wonder at the magnetism which
drew each glass to the one eternal spot.
BY and by the audience, to whom
some hint Of the secret had leaked out,
began to give audible signs that they
enjoyed the joke. The sporadic laugh.
ter of the theatre increased the con-
fusion of the. young ladies, and the
contsgion of fun turned the sporadic
mirth into a general roar.

can hardly say that l had any real
apprehension Of danger from that
quarter, even after. this occurrence,
but 1t was plain that any mistake in
the matter had better be on the side
of prudence and safety. The reserve
stacked arms, and the lonely hours till
daylight passed without any further
alarm.
When daylight came, Jake's prompt
ness and vigilance were amply justi.
fed by the sight that it disclosed. A
huge alligator, ten. feet long, lay
stretched on his belly not twenty feet
from the spot where the soldier had
stood, and \ more hideous object L

body was spattered with the blood
that his death struggles had thrown
over him, and his y;swning jaws hung
wide open. exhibiting ample capacity
to bite man in two with their rows
of sharp, glistening teeth.
Close examination showed that the
bullet had entered the eye, which in
these creatures is almost the only vuln-
erdele point. 1t was a lucky shot,
and one that could hardly be expected
to be repeated under similar circum-
stances. The story made u nine days

solemn, quiet way. lasted as long and
became as entertaining as the story
itself.

Of course everybody allowed that
Jake had displayed excellent soldierly
qualities in this adventure. He was
recommended for promotion, which
he received in Il few weeks.

Two Ducks.

From the Cleveland Leader.
A Cleveland drummer was in Elyria,
i few Sundays ago, and while sitting
in his room, heard from the next
room, the mysterious question and
answer
"Whose ducky are you!''
else your ducky -
A few moments passed, during
which the drummer sat in open.
monthed wonder, and the silence was
again broken:
''Whose ducky are you!''
'fse your ducky!
Unable to stand it much longer
alone the Clevelander hurried down to
the Office, learned that a newly-mar.
ried couple we're in the house, invited
three other drummers to hear the fun,
and tip-toed back to his room. The
wicked Quartette crammed their hand.
kerchiefs in their mouths, and during
the next quarter of an hour heard that
fond conundrum put and answered no
less than four times by the uncon
scious rustic and his blushing bride.
At dinner, as luck would have it,
the bride and groom were seated be.
tween two of the drummers, while the
original discoverer of the bonanza sat
opposite. The table had been cleared
of the substantials and order given for
desert. At that moment spirit of
mischief took entire possession of the
Clevelander. Leaning across the ia.
bic, he looked archly at his nearest
friend and in dulcet tones propounded
the cOnnnf]rnm.
''Whose ducky are you!''
The other chap was equal to the
emergency, and in tones of affected
sweetness got in his answer:
"I'se your ducky!''
Two scarlet, rustic faces, the futter
of white dress through the doorway,
two vacant seats ut the table and four
crazy drummers laughing till the tears
ran, flashed across the vision of the
spectators as the curtain fell.

o, Car.
From the Chicago Times.


Everybody remembers the story of
the Russian car who, discoursing to a
brother sovereign of the knowledge of
the virtue of obedience in Russia, told
him that if he (the czar) were to corn.
naand his general to jump into the sea
from the high cliff upon which they
were standing the officer would obey.
The potentate addressed sjgnified his
increds,lity. slump into the sea -
said the car to the general. The lat.
ter obeyed instantly, and was dashed
to pieces on the sea-beaten crags be-
low. Aurelien Scholl tells, in the
Evenement, story of Russian Obedi-
ence which is even more remarkable
in it's results than this. The Czar
Nicholas once held a review of his
army in honor Of lady whose beauty
had charmed him. During the march
his cavalry came up on Z trot. The
czar desiring to: improYeS the effect,
gave the command to gallop. But
the colonel Of the last regiment, who
had not understood the order, con.
timed to tlefile past ON the trOt. Mich.
olas, enraged, advanced to him and
shouted. II say gallop and take the
road to Siberia This time the col
-onrl understood, and started ona brisk
9sllop for Siberia. Some moments
after the car recOunted, with much
hilarity, this circumstance in the hear
Ing of the lady in whose honor the re.
view was held. She was much
troubled, and begged him, with tears
in her Eyes, to pardon the regiment.

To all, particularly invalids, spring
is trying season. Indications Of sickness
should at once he attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to be-
come constipated, and the system to remain
in disordered condition, until the disorder
has time to develop itself: An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure, is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise
all who are troubled with the complaints now
very prevalent-headache, indignation, dis
ordered liver, want Of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know OF no
remedy so harmless and decisive in its action.
1t at once strikes at the root of the disease
and produces a healthy tone to the system.
People never need suffer from any disease
arising from disordered condition Of the
liver II they would take this excellent medi-
cine when they feel the first indications OF the
malady. Families leaving home for the sum-
mer months should take three or four boxes
Of these pills with them. They have an al
most instantaneous effect. They will relieve
the patient Of headache in one or two hours,
and will rapidly cleanse the liver of sur
rounding bile, and will effectually prevent a
bilious attack. They are sold by ali drug
gists.

pleted, poor James E. Ramage was
dead. He was only a private, but his
death was that Of hero, and his name
deserves place in the history of the
rebellion. Many persons seem to think
that the heroes Of the war were to be
found among the officers, high in rank
and command. Not necessarily so. but
the man who, with musket in hand.
marched up to the cannon's mouth for
SIG i month, was true hero in every
sense of the term. God bless the pri-
vate soldiers of the late war. To these
men the country owes q debt of graft

repay. During the conflict at Liberty
Gap, Thomas was pushing the rebel
command at Hoover Gap. Their de.
feat at the former place, caused gen.

railroad. For miles around this place
the country is level. The forests ap-

Bragg had the trees felled for a dis
lance of two miles in every direction,
SO rs to give his Artillery an opportu-
nifty to do effective work upon our ad-
vancing columns, but before we rot
within range of his guns, he and his
army fell back. Chattanooga was the
next point occupied by Bragg, but as

Our new cylender press with all the mod ern attachments and improvements, except writ of attachment, capable of working a thousand impressions in an hour, passed Omaha on the "a of August, and must have landed in san Francisco about len days ago if nothing occurred to detain ii. We have had no word from it since it passed Omaha, but the chances are that it is on the Ocean, bound for the mouth of the Colorado, and that it wifi reach Ehrenbe rg by the middle Of September at the farthest, after which Miller Bros. agree to bring it with all possi- hle dispatch to Prescott. When it arrives We promise our patrons to publish paper that neither we nor they need be ashamed of, but for the present we feel that an apology Is due for the very limited space we have to devote to news and the discussion of gene Fal and local topics.

In few instances these have given offence to those with whom we had made other arrangements, and from whom no pay was expected in response to the notice. We are sorry to have any mis- understandings, and assure those who have fel; agrieved on account of it, that nothing wrong has been intended, but that in order to have uniformity and system in the busi- ness of the office, there seems to be no better plan thau the one We have chosen, and when notice comes to those whose obligations are not due. or with whom we have other busi- ness arrangements, we trust they will regard them as they are intended, merely as infor- nation as to the time of the expiration Of their subscriptions.

fantry, having been ordered to New York to report for two years duty in the recruiting service, left by stage on Tuesday evening, by way of California. The Lieutenant being a native of Cleveland, Ohio, hopes and believes he will be stationed in that city; in which case it will be almost like a furlow to visit home for two years. In taking his departure he expressed the wish that he could take a supply of Arizona climate with him to last as long as he lives, as he has no hope of ever seeing anything to equal it elso- where.
