ENGLISH sHoRTHoRN MANIA.

In an article on the "Shorthorn Mania
the Pail Mall Gazette has the. following
,Heifers at 1000 guineas apiece are now not
uncommon. The other day q noble lord
fell so completely in love with one of these
delicate creatures that he jumped from $500
guineas to 1890 guileas at one bid. This
proof of spirit was received with the widest
enthusiasm. The ".points" of this animal
were doubtless superb.
We may recall the fact that among race
horses high priced yearlings are not usually
very profitable to their enthusiastic owners,
n are moreover, rarely chosen to breed
from. A trainer can find out what a thor
oughbred two-year-old is made of very
soon but over what sort of course can a
breeder try his 1900 guineas heifer? AL
ready this breeding in-and in has produced
an extreme delicacy among the progeny
and perhaps something worse. The theory
is that these highly bred, delicately natured
pedigree cattle serve, when carefully dis
tributed, to raise the general character Of
beasts on large farms, runs or ranches
in Europe, America or Australia. But the
question is whether the mania is not defeat
ing this object, whether the excessive deli
cacy spoken of does not affect their useful
ness in this direction. On this point we do
not presume to enter, nor certainly to de-
eide between the partisans of the GATES
and the "Booth' cattle. 1t is sufficient to
note, for the guidance of the unwary, that
4 very short time ago some unlucky Gun
fashionable" cattle, formerly reputed to be
quite equal to their no modish competitors,
and generally admitted still to carry as
good beef, were sold at an average of .G35 a
head. They had their day like the "ac-
cursed" Blackjack blood on the turf; and
now they are comparatively neglected,
though probably with nothing like such
good reason. The time may be not far.-dis-
tant, therefore, when Duchesses of Geneva.
Dukes Of Hillhurst, etc, will likewise des-
cend to their proper level and emotional
bidders will awaken to the fact that the
"Shorthorn MANIA" like other bubbles.
leaves a very small percentage of profit
when it bursts.

Arrest of Stage Robbers.

men came into town from towards Wickenburg. Major Evans, the man who so bravely captured the stage robbers near Prescott some months since, saw them and sus- pected that they were the same enterprising individuals who, on the l2th. stopped the stage near Wickenburg, took measures for their arrest. No opportunity offer ing last night, arrangements were made to take them when they attempted to cross the ferry. It seems that the desperadoes got some hint of the trouble, one going to Salado's corral where their horses were, the other was near Mills saloon where Major Evans and Col. Bryan ordered him to surrender, but before they could cover him with their guns he fired at Evans, hitting him a glancing shot just over the left eye. Mir. Bryan at once fired hitting him in the face, but unfor- tunately the gun was loaded with small shot only, and Evans, al- most blinded by the flow of blood, shot him in the right arm ; and though shot down, the desperate continued to shoot until his pistol was emptied. In the mean time the one in SaladO's saloon opened fire on Evans with a Winchester rifle. Mir. Mercer. stage driver, who had now come fOrWrrd, was shot through the right shoulder. The firing continued some min- utes between the man in the saloon and Maj. Evans, now cov- cred by the Ehren berg hotel. On summons, however, the garrison concluded to surrender, and marched out and grounded arms For some fifteen or twenty min- uteS 1t reminded me of some scenes during the "late unpleas- antness." More than sixty shots were fired, and three of the five engaged in the fight were wound ed. Good pluck was shown by all parties, and none showed any signs.of fiickering. On the pris- oners being searched Sheriff Bow CTS pistol was found on one of them, and several bars of bullion brought out, so that there is not a shadow of doubt as to their being guilty. Many thanks are due to Messrs. Evans, Bryan and Mercer for their noble conduct in this af
 fair; few men are thus ready to risk life to arrest thieves. Would that we had more men of such prOmptneSs in Arizona. The wounded robber is dangerously shot, having nearly pound of lead in his right arm and in his head. Mir. Mercer, the driver, l understand, is doing we'll, his wound being only a flesh one. Major Evans does not mind his, only on account of the girls not liking to have his handsome face marked. Our doctor was kept busy awhile this morning dress ing wounds. As soon as the firing commenced many of our citizens got out arms, but before they were organized and ready for ad.
 vance the battle was over. learn that Major Evans intends taking the robbers up to Prescott, start ing in to-morrow's stage.
