Last week the police authorities were
informed that a young man named Archie
Lazy had called at the telegraph Office in
the Palace Hotel and persuaded the lady
operator in charge to write out a dupli-
cate Of a telegram received by him from
Paris which promised the remittance OF
$4,000, giving as reason that he had lost
the original copy. 1t was thought at the
time that this bogus telegram was obtain
ed for the purpose Of swindling somebody.
It now appears that young Lazy secured
this copy in order to impose upon a
young lady to whom he was betrothed and
satisfy her mind regarding his prospects,
and that he had plenty Of coin to celebrate
the nuptials he was so anxious to have
take place. The telegraph company are
now satisfied that no wrong was intended,
and consequently they viii net prosecute
the amorous Archie.

The physical prowess of the softer sex
cannot be Judged until they are dressed
in a manner favorable to the taking Of
exercise. If any member of an athletic
club is disposed to underrate the physical
prowcss of the fair sex, let him try to run
a hurdle race, display on the horizontal
bar, or play cricket or football match
in ladyis fashionable walking dress of
the period, and then he viii be able to es-
innate the extent to which his sisters are
handicapped, why they are so averse to
wholesome out-of-door exercise, and con-
sequently enfeebled beth in mind and
body.

The SUN Made OF Metal

In recent article in the Niutseuth
Century, by Mr.. j. Norman Lockyer. the
writer very strongly objects to DR.. ORA
per's discovery of oxygen in the sun. Mr..
Lockyer says he has gone carefully over
the whole ground, and finds: First, that
the photograph on which DIR. Draper
bases the discovery is not one competent
to settle such an important question; sec
ond, that he does not find the coincidence
between bright solar lines and oxygen
lines in the part of the spectrum with
which he is most familiar; and. third.
that, comparing DR.. Diapers photograph
with the fine photograph Of the spectrum
obtained by Mr.. Rutherford. he fails to
find any true bright line in the sun what
ever coincident with any line Of oxygen
whatever" Mr.. Loekyer sums up the
evidence as to the suns composition in
these words: so far as our uncontested
knowledge goes, the sun is chiefly made Of
metal, and on this account is strangely
different from the crust of our earth. in
which the metals are in large minority"

An AuriNersus Meteor.
From the Yuma Sentinel.

A remarkable specimen Of meteoric iron,
more like steel. has been brought in here
from the Mohave desert. It weighs about
a pound. and carries free gold, Of which
nearly dollar appears on the surface. It
is not magnetic, and has successfully re-
sisted simple and compound baths of acid.
In this respect it resembles specular iron,
but in no other. One Of its surfaces shows
fracture that reveals crystalline struc-
ture, the color Of which is steel gray
tinged with yellow. It has de6ed the
best cold-chisels in the blacksmith shop,
and has not broken or Clipped under
heavy blowe. If its competition can be
initiated, it will be produced the hardest
and toughest alloy known.

NEW READING OF POPE.

Lo the lean Indian, whose bewiidered mind
Sees naught of God. either cloud or wind;
His soul proud science never Taught to stray
II strayeditself. and now has lost its way.
Simple natu C to his hope has given,
Beyond some cloud capped hill, a sensual heaven
Some place where science can not grope its way
Nor learning cast in one feeble ray;
No whites disturb. no Christians 'stablish lave,
But he can rest while work IL done by squaws.
To loaf contents his natural desire,
He asks no angels wings to get up higher.
And If he did. no angel from the sky
Would think Of taking 10 up very high.
But grant the burden of his Indian song
Go where he likes and take his dorg along.

oral gentleman of both the Democrat

present and heard the discussion re-
ferred TO in the Herald, who says tho
