The Great Register.

We have received a copy of tie Great Register of Yavapai county, recently print ed in San Francisco and bearing the Im print of the Democrat of Prescott. The work Is nicely executed and contains near ' 4,000 names, having the residents of Apache county, who were cut of from Yavapal nearly two years ago, also the names of all who have died within the past two years and those who left the county. With the new census 1t seems to us that an accurate great register could have been compiled Here the voters of Yavapai county have an otneT specimen of extravaganza from a Democratic standpoint. Tax payers are compelled to pay for printing the great reg ister with 1000 names when It should only contain about 900 Then how about the price, This work was not let by contract as 1t should have been. Remember these things on tie 2d of November, gentlemen We are treating on facts and defy contra diction.

A VAMPIRE FROM AsIA.-In a store on
Summit street may be seen an animal, the
like of which few people in Toledo have ever
seen. It is a monster South Asia vampire,
the much dreaded blOodsucker of that coun-
try. This rare creature, perhaps the only
living specimen Of the kind in the country,
is one and a-half feet long has a pair OF
piercing black eyes which shine like dia-
monds, double row of sharp teeth, similar
to those Of the weasel, and its powerful
wings, when stretched fun length, measure
two and one-half feet from point to point
The vampire hangs suspended from a bar in
the centre of its cage by a pair of formidable
claws, and when in repOse resembles a closed
umbrella its body is covered with com
Portable coat of fur, whilst its beautifully
proportioned head, which has a remarkable
similarity to that of a black-and-t tan terrier
dog, is surmounted by pair of large, well
shaped ears. This strange creature is almost
totally blind during the day, but at night its
little eyes twinkle with astonishing brillian
cy. The vampire is kept in temperature
of about seventy degrees, in order to conform
as nearly as possible with the climate of it;

FREDDY AND PA.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Herald tells this
story of the Chicago convention
''On the day after the convention Mr.. Pot
ter Palmer took eX-Sheriff Daggett of Brook
lyn, by the arm, and insisted on making a
call on eX-PreSident Grant, who was i'm the
hotel. DaCgett replied that he would rather
not DO so; that he had opposed Grant in the
convention, and it might be awkward
Palmer said that would make no difference
SO he went into the Grant paTlor and was re-
introduced to Grant-having met him before
After pleasant conversation he was intro
duced to Mis-. Fred. Grant as a delegate from
New York. Mistaking her man, Mrs Fred
at once launched out into glOrifying the New
York Grant men. Size said they (the family
could never be sufficiently grateful to the
men who had stood by the General so faith
fully. Daggett, so soon as he could politely
interrupt, said But, Mrs. Grant / was
one of those delegates and voted against
him. The recoil was painful. Mrs. Grant
senior, who was standing near, overheard
Daggett's s remarks, and in severe tone cried
out Wei, | don't see how any man from
New York could ever have voted against

Of the room as speedily as possible. Just
then Southern gentleman of color named
Quarles, who had been United States consul
at Malaga, and who had been at work for
Sherman, appeared, and was welcomed by
Grant, who knew him. But Colonel Fred.
spied him, and at once cried out Pop that
man voted against YOU in the convention on
every ballot at the same time pointing in
dignantly at the poor colored brother, who,
however, Was equal to the decision. and re-
piled, with dignity 'You are mistaken Col.

TRUCKING THE INFIDEL.

The late Sir John Browning, though his
pursuits were political and philosophical.
was not devoid of humor. lie tells Us, for
instance. in his recently published 'Reccl-
lections, how, shortly after leaving Aleppo
at place named Khan Shekune, he tried
but in vain, to get Il sight of the veiled and
muffied face of the young and pretty wife OF
a Sheik who was his host.
eve had heard much of the extreme Deau-
" of the young wife, and had a natural Gu
riosty to get n glance at the inaccessible
lady. Fortune seemed to favor THy wishes.
for the Sheik informed me, with expressions

but in the evening came again, saying that 1
was very unkind, bat that he would do any
thing to save the child's life, and that he
would show me the way to the harem. He
led me to room, where ! saw poor, ema-
ciated child on a rug, his body covered with
various charms, such as sentences from the
Koran, and bending over him was a veiled
woman. My curiosity, of course, was on the
stretch, and l addressed the mother with
some inquiries as to the symptoms. She an
swered, but I said 7 could but imperfectly
understand her, as she spoke Arabic, SO 1
asked her to remove her veil. She resisted,
but when / observed that European physi-
clans studied the diseases of children i'm the
countenances of their mothers, I became
peremptory, and at last she slowly raised her
veil, when, instead of the angelic beauty I
had expected, 1 was confronted with the face
of a hideous nag, who said to me, I am the
old wife

De ole mans garden patch am all choked up

but he couldn't put his hand to work until
he found out if dat story war true. He
