fact that he cannot lie, he wilI give the position of the Blarney stone anu pause For a reply whether ]. s possible for Cisclnnau's or any other girl to sit on the Blaurey stone. It IS Purposely placed out side, near the parapet of Castle Blarney. which was built by Cormach MacCarthy in l446 and is l20 feet high. The Castle is a strong forti6eation and considered impregnable np to tbe time of Grom- well, who. with his round-heads, cap tured it, as he dld many other places in Ireland which stood out for Charles the first.
 The Blaruey stone" as it is call- ed, IS an engraved stone in the face of the wall, about twenty feet below the rarapet. The inscription IS the fol- lowing sCornach MacCarthy fortis mi iori fecit, !" with the date. As travellers. in thelr attempts to kiss 1t, empty their pockets and are held on to by the legs by others of their par ty as they hang over the wall through an aperture, it IS not often done, and another stone in he lower part of tue structure IS sad to possess tLe same power. No doubt this is true. It is dfhculty 10 tell whence the sing ular reputation of the stone began. but the story goes that when the pro- presor, Lord Clancarty, was pris- oner n the hands of Sir George Carew he endeayosed by various plausible excuses to evade the surrender of his Castle to the Queen. He who kisses the Blarney Stone is gifted with such persuasive eloquenee that no lady can resist him as a lover. Al he has to do is so tell her the fact. and she, If she be an Irish or an English girl, comes down ike Seott's coon Such Is the widespread romance of the old Cassle of Blarhey. When jefrey's family owned the place Milliken wrote describing the Groves of Blarney some very Irish verses. Father Prout, who immortalized this section with his jingling rhymes, ad- ded the supplementary verses which are often quoted. The peculiarity of the place, being the old considerable body of woods in the neighborhood of Cork, and it's romantic legends, draw thousands of visitors. Some of these verses jingle like silver bells.
 IL is evident that "Cincinnati's brightest and wittiest gir," knew the position of the stone, and not wish ing to expose herself to ndicuEe, would not admit that she kissed 1t, which was possible ,o b, when in an inverted position.

We mentioned two weeks ago that mare belonging to J. Irwin, at NcM.llen, had been stolen by Bill Smith, and thst the thief had been followed into New Mexico. Green Meadows. the man who kept up the pursuit, has returned without bring ing either Smith or the mare with him. The last trace he got of the inseparable pair vas at Las Cruces, where they were headed for El Paso. Meadows charges the operator at Camp Grant with carelessness, in not forwarding a telegram sent from Camp Thomas to the sheriff at Silver City, \. NJ. That telegram ought X, have reached it's destination two days before the thief arrived, where as it did not get forwarded until Meadows had been there two days.

We have heard owners of ch ckens speaking against ths Territory as having something about it which made poultry raising less profitable here than elsewhere. We are sa1isfed now that injustice has been done so Arizona in that connection, as an eggs ample we can voueh for will prove. At the San Carlos Reserva- ton, Woods $ Harlow. traders there, have some fifty hens which they feed carefully. as every hen owner ought to do, if he expects fair layout in return. Each morning these fifty hens lay fram 20 to p eggs, and hence tue lay of the last grateful chicken is heralded all over tbe place day after day We have about come to the conclusion, after hearing of lhis case, that if the chickens of Arizona are only treated properly in respect to food, water and shelter, they wifi Jay oyer all hendom. in the matter Of egg production. Unfor- tunately, chicken owners are often  careless m the things referred to, and that is eggs aetlg the way that hens are made 10 fail in doing their duty. and consequently, eggs with us com mand one American dollar per dozen.

An Inspector of Indian Agencies sent out by the Peace Commissioners, IS nov at San Carlos looking into matters at thai Agency. We doubt the wisdom of allowing persons who are almost entirely ignorant of the position of Indian affairs at any par tieular agency, to hold such inter course with the Indians, as m ust cer- tainly make them believe their con dition is about to be arnehorated far beyond what is either possible or probable in the ordinary course of events. IL IS wrong to raise hopes that cannot be realized, as IS too of ten done in this way.

ployed under the foreman positively re-
fused to assist in removing the body,

was left on the roadside until yester-
day, when the foreman dill spare time
to signal passing train to stop, and
bring the body here.

the occurrence, and he held an inquest
on the body. In one of the pockets of

pers from the United States Army.

following verdict: 1--WE, the under
signed jurors, called to hold an inquest
before Coroner NJ. Oppenheim, of Hum

Company, and kept in stable at the

is that they were poisoned by some
enemy of the stage company or its
agents. Two OF the animals have died,
and the Others are unable to work. If
these suspicious of the drivers are cor
rect, it shows contemplate spirit on
the part OF the prisoners to punish

or spite they may entertain against their

Recalled to Life by n Sisters Shrek.

The recall of country girl to life by
sisters shrek is one of the local topics
of The Journal Of Evansville, Ind.
The young lady had been quite i'll for
weeks, and was thought to be dying of
consumption. She had grown so week
and emaciated, that her strength was
no more than child's. One afternoon,
while lying on her couch, her sister
came in from walk and sat by her
bedside. A conversation began, and
the invalid began to speak. AS she
uttered the first word she felt be-
wildering weakness, and a sinking
futter of the breath. Her eyes be-
came fixed, the lower jaw dropped as in
death, and the body became motionless,
while consciousness disappeared. The
sister leaped from her seat and ran to
the door shrieking to her mother that
her sister was dead. The sound of the
shrek penetrated through the veil of
death, and reused the sinking faculties.
The blood, which had congested the
lungs, was sent back by the nervous
shock, and gathering her strength by a
strong effort of will the invalid opened
her eyes and awoke to life again,
breathless and amazed at the thrilling
peril she had escaped
