I'm which Two Men frem this Coun-
~ were the Actors.

~ were the Actors.
The Arizona Enterprise of May 16
has the following tragic story: John
Haley of Stems Mountain, Grant
county, Oregon. became acquainted at
Winnemucca with a man named Char
ley Gloves. They came with Sullivan's
party to Arizona and located a ranch
near Bill Williams mountain. Haley
owned some very fine horse stock.
The two were. to all appearances, fast
friends. A few weeks ago Haley very
mysterously disappeared. Soon after
this party of Mormons from Utah
camped in the neighborhood and
Cleves exchanged Haley's horse stock
to them for cattle. He told the Nor
mons he felt lonesome and asked per-
mission to camp with them, which was
granted He stayed with them until
Sunday, the 9Th inst, when he COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself with
a rifle through the head. The circum-
Stances point to terrible story. Jere
Sullivan describes Cleves as a quiet,
inotfensive man, with occasional in
tervals of insanity or something near
ly approaching it. The inference from
the events which transpired rs that
CIeves killed Haley while in a state of
insanity. and that remorse for the hor-
rible deed led him to seek the company
of the Mormons, and to his subsequent
suicide. MIR. Sullivan leaves to-day to
investigate the facts Of the case, bas
this probably is the true theory.

Snow as n Fertilizer.

1t is an old saying that snow in March
and April is "the poor mans manure, :"
but we are not informed how much would
be required to make poor, WORKOUT
soil rich the Boston Journal Of chem
istyy, however, tells how blanket of
snow may be of value to the farmer.
The body of snow upon the ground i'll
all the Northern and Middle States is
very great, and millions of acres of land
are covered by it, as with blanket of
the whitest wool. 1t is probable that sell
dom, perhaps never, has so wide an area
of our country been covered as during
this month of January, 1877. The ques-
ton whether snow is capable OF affording
to lands any of the elements of fertility
is one often asked, and in reply it may
be said that it probably is. The atmos-
phere holds ammonia and some other
heterogeneous products, which are un-
doubtedly brought to the soil by the
snow-flakes, as well as by rain-drops.
Experiments both here and abroad would
seem TO prove the truth of this conclr-
sion. Rains are not only valuable for
the moisture which they supply, but for
what they bring to us from the atmos-
phere. During Thunderstorm nitric
acid is produced in considerable quanti-
ties, and, dissolved in the rain-lrops to
high degree of attenuation, its effects
upon soils are highly salutary .-Rurdt

Telegraphic Competition.

At last we have the legitimate results
of Commodore Vanderbilt's unwarranted
intrusion into the affairs of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. The Trib-
ilae warned the Commodore at the time
that the managers of the other great
trunk lines could not tamely submit to
his control of the very wires along which
they must telegraph the movements of
their own trains. But lie had not then
realized that settling day ever came,
and in the plenitude of his power he in
sisted on controlling the Western Union
and compelling such men as Mr.. Garrett
and Mr.. Scott to submit to his manage
ment OF their business. To-day his sue
cessor sees Western Union (the boosted
8 per cent. stock trembling in the six
ties ut the bare announcement that
Messrs. Garrett, Scott, Jewett, Garrison,
and other railroad magnates have entered
Telegraph line, and have in single day
added $500, 900 to the capital with which
it is rapidly extending it's service
throughout the country. This means
war to the knife, and a war in which all
the advantages are on the side OF the
younger and more energetic company.
1t is not burdened with watered stock,
heavy mortgage Indebtedness, mon
strously expensive organization, lines
built mt high cost, unfavorable contracts,
and the odium of monopoly. In pro-
portion TO its number of miles of wire,
it is already doing double the business of
it's elder rival; and unless Western
Union promptly recognizes the situa-
ton, reduces its rates, and quits trying
to earn dividends on water, the damage
it has already received will be trifiing
compared with what is in store for it.

American Society Customs.

The New York World, in speaking of
the recently-divorced husband of
Adelaide Nelson, gives some anecdotes
OF his introduction to American society,
he being an Englishman. Lee arrived
here Britisher" of the most ultra
type; he knew little or nothing of
America, and was ready to receive i'm
pressions. He was acquainted with
Sothern, and Sothern was ready to give
him impressions. AS soon as he ar
rived. all manner of stories concerning
the customs of the country were poured
into his astonished ears, and, shortly af-
terward, Sothern invited him to dinner
where he should meet some of Ameri-
cas- most distinguished men," Sothern
presided, next to him sat Lee, and on
the other side sat w. j. Florence. There
were present also Dan Bryant, who was
introduced as "Mr. Bryant, the poet :"
Nelse Seymour, who passed for Mr..
Whittier, and number of others equally
notable as authors and poets. Mr..
Sothern's guests, except Lee, were duly
informed of the designs of their host
designs which were faithfully executed.
In the middle of dinner Florence
reached out to take Sothern's salt
cellar. Sothern instantly pulled a six
shooter, and, pointing it at Florence,
ordered him to put that salt-cellar
back" Florence, with an oath, drew a
bowie-knife and jumped up. Then the
gas went out, four or five pistol-shots
were fred, the party broke up and Lee
was found by the waiters-under the ta-
BILE unhrrt, but ready to return to En-
gland forthwith.

How long may dog subsist without
food or water is question likely to arise
after reading the following: On the Sd
of January last gentleman resident on
Elm street lost valuable dog of the
spaniel breed The onimal was seen last
by the owners children, with whom it
went out. Some days after the dog was
missed the loss was advertised in the
daily papers, but nothing was heard of
the missing spaniel until Saturday last.
In the forenoon of that day the owners
children went into an empty house near
by to amuse themselves. In the course
of play one of them opened the door of
a back room, when the missing dog was
found lying in one corner of the apart
ment, apparently dead. On closer in
spection, however, it was found that the
poor animal was still alive, although re-
duced to little else than skin and bone.
Without delay the children had their
favorite-which was not able to crawl
even-carried home, after which some
nourishment was given to it, and before
many hours it had so far recovered az to
be able to crawl The disappearance of
the dog Is now accounted for. On the
day when it was lost the children hap
pened to be playing in the same empty
house, and they must in leaving have
accidentally shut him in and gone and
left him. From that day till Saturday
nobody had been in the empty house,

1 Thrilling Scene.

The following incident occurred during
a general review of the Austrian cavalry
some months ago:
Not far from thirty thousand cavalry
were i'll line. A little girl of not more
than 4 years, standing in the front row OF
spectators, either from fright or some
other cause, rushed out into the open
field Just as squadron of hussars came
sweeping around from the main body.
They made the detour for the purpose OF
saluting the Empress, whose carriage
was drawn up in that part of the parade
ground. Down came the flying squad
ron, charging Mt a mad gallop-down di-
rectly upon the child. The mother was
paralyzed, as were others, for there could
be no rescue from the line of spectators.
The Empress uttered a cry of horror, for
the child destruction seemed inevitable
and such terrible destruction-the tramp
ing to death by n thousand iron hoots.
Directly under the feet of the horses was
the little one-another instant must seal
it's doom-when n stalwart hussar who
was in the front line, without Stacking his
speed or loosening his hold, threw him
self over by the side of his horses neck,
seized and lifted the child, and placed it
in safety upon his saddle-bow; and this
he did without changing his pace or
breaking the correct alignment of the
squadron. Ten thousand voices hailed
with rapturous applause the gallant deed,
and other thousands applauded when
they knew. Two women were there who
could only sob forth their gratitude i'll
broken accents-the mother and the En-
press. And proud and happy moment
it must have been for the hussar when
his Emperor, taking from his own breast
the richly enameled cross of the Order
Maria Theresa, hung it upon the breast
of his brave and gallant trooper.

Discovery of Ancient Coins.

A numismatic discovery almost I'M
paralleled in extent has been made near
Verona. Two large amphore have been
found containing no less than two quin-
tails, or about 600 English pounds weight,
of coins of the Emperor Gallienus and
his successors within the hundred years
following his reign. The number of
coins is estimated at between 80, 600 and
$4,000. OF those of the Emperor Probus
there are more than 1000. The MAORI
ty are of bronze, but there are some of
silver and others of bronze silvered
(sub9ratG). They are all in the finest
state of preservation, and, with the ex-
ception of those of Gallienus, which are
little worn, they are so fresh from the
mint as to make it evident they were
never put into circulation. The discov-
cry has been considered of sufficient i'm
portance for the Minister of Public In
struction to dispatch Sig. Pigorini
specially to Verona to report upon it.
All the finest examples are to be placed
in the museum of Verona, and the re-
mainder either exchanged in sets with
other museums or sold as may he de-
cided upon.
