A gentleman from Union City says that
when the yellow fever scare was at it's
height in Union City, and people were
fastening to the country, to the woods,
anywhere to escape the bare possibility of
the disease, the quarantine notwithstanding,
man and his wife were in such hurry
to move out that they left an infant lying
on bed in their dwelling, which they
had locked up secure and fast. Its walls
could never have been heard had it possess
cd leather lungs, and no one would ever
have dreamed that such an absence of
mind could occur with the average parents.
When they had gone a mile and half to-
ward Paducah Junction, the wife excaim-
ed, as she wrung her hands in grief at the
very thought Of what might befall their
sleeping infant, Lord help US we have
left the child at home on the bed" The
husband went back home and there found
the infant. 1t had been left asleep, had
evidently walked up and then cried itself
to sleep again.--Nashville American.

4 Nice Americ1n to Vote For.

We have set forth that Mir. John C.. Campbell is not a proper man to repre- sent Arizona at Washington, because he lacks ability and social standing. We have disapproved his hiring news papers to sound fulsome and unmerit- ed praises of him; the Enterprise has done this for a bonus of printing ma terial-nearly S3,0O0 worth of It; what other papers have received we have been unable to prove. We have shown that he is a foreign-born citizen, who advocated destruction of our Union, and that therefore he is not a man to be trusted with our political destinies. We have proof that he threw off his allegiance to the United States, and took out a British passport, in order to travel in Mexico; we are not prepared to assert that he has not taken another certificate of naturalization since he laid that passport aside, nor that it was necessary for him to do so; he may legally be still an American citizen in spite of his having gone back to his allegiance to Queen Victoria; but, knowing these facts, we can never look upon him as one worthy 10 represent us in Congress. These charges only have we made against him; and we have them in such language only as is in use among reputable and refined people, his hired advocates to the con trary notwithstanding.-Sentinel.

Railroads Consolidated.

Colorado and New Mexico ex- changes announce the lease or pur- chase of the Denver and Rio Grande road by the Atchison, Topeka and San ta Fe Company. The Denver Tribune of the 11th ultimo says:
 "The rumor in regard to the con- solidation of the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe, and the Denver and Rio Grande railways can hardly longer be called a rumor, for it has taken such definite shape that there can no longer be any serious doubt that the consoii- dation, or whatever the arrangement may be called, has been effected. A dispatch received in this city yester- day by prominent railroad official, which comes through reliable source, states in few words that ga combina- tion which amounts to a sale has been effected" This may be taken as semi authoritative, and when the facts come to light will be found to be correct. Both companies have doubtless lost money through the fight which has been going forward ever since last Spring and doubtless both are coming tU realize that there is need of harmony. At any rate the money power of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, cer- tainly realizes that the Denver and Rio Grande can be made of value to the great road, and have taken steps 10 se- cure it, whether by lease or purchase. There can be no doubt that the new ar engagement can be so turned as to be of great advantage, both to the purchas- ing and leasing company. The great corporation will find three hundred miles of road in excellent condition. By obtaining control of this line the Santa Fe management can, without further effort, control absolutely the traffic from all points south. including the Eastern trade of New Mexico, the San Juan country and the trade that may soon be expected to come through this country from Arizona. There will be no fight for right of way and trade in many sections such as the strife for the Raton Pass and the Grand Canon of the Arkansas and such as the war over freights which is now going for ward between Fl Moro and Trinidad and East"
