The Liliputians of Superstitious
a'. Mountain. Il ss5.f.{.

some excitement Is being created
among the Mexican population of Phe-
nix, by the story of a Mexican who ar
rived last evening from the Reno Noun
tains. He came into town under cover
of darkness, as he was nearly naked.
His hands and feet were torn and
bloody, and his face gashed in fearful
manner. His story was told with the
air of man who had been terribly
frightened and had not recovered.
With a companion he started out pros
pecting about a month ago, going up
Salt River. They left the river when
opposite the Superstitious Mountain.
Their prospecting began at this point.
While climbing up the mountain in a
little gully, through black sand, and
down which a large stream of water
had evidently passed years ago, they
were astonished to find that in this sand
were large quantities of fine gold. In
some places the sand was only about
half an inch deep over the granite.
The gold, in pieces the size of a bean
and smaller, was found in the little
assures in the face of the bedrock.
Very little washing was necessary
and they found a little spring of water
which furnished them what they needed.
They obtained, they think, about $500
worth in half a days work. Abo'
2 o'clock in the afternoon they were
surprised to see an Indian woman
come to the top of the gulch above the
spring and start to come down. Upon.
seeing them she ran back over the hill.
In less than ten minutes they were sur
rounded by fifty or sixty savages. The
Indians were very small and seemed to
be of a different nature than they had
ever seen in Arizona. The Mexicans
were not armed, except with knives, and
the survivor says they were almost in
stantly caught with lariats. The Indi-
ans took them up mountain and put
them in cave. They tortured and
killed his companion, and his fate would
have been the same but for his escape.
He succeeded in getting away with only
a few knife gashes ON his face. They
lost their gold with all their. outfit. The
Indians seemed to be cave-dwellers, and
were evidently excited over the place
being found by outsiders. For the
benefit of non-residents, we will say that
Mountain derives its name
from the fact that no white man has
been seen again who attempted its as
cension. It is a tradition among the
Mexicans that large deposits Of free
gold are to be found in its gulches and
ravines. It is not known whether there
is any water there or not. - hessr

AGRICULTURAL

~: The BEET-sUGAR INDUSTRY THE
'.beet-sugar industry, even as demons
stated by the Portland (Me.) enterprise,
/ has not proven a success in this coun-
try, outside at least of California
Enough has been accomplished, hOwev-
er, to make plain the fact that, with
proper management on the part of
growers and manufacturers, the indus
!. try is not only quite feasible in many
sections but may be made a source Of
profit to every body concerned. The
Portland company have, it would seem,
overcome the principal difficulties lying
in the manufacturers way, and the yield
of from fifteen to thirty tons per acre
obtained by farmers who attempted the
cultivation of the roots in an intelligent
manner shows what may be accom-
plished in their line. The trouble ap.
have been afraid to assume any risk in
the matter; others again have failed to
raise paying crops because of injudi-
cious selection of soil, insufficient cult
walton and the like. The waste of the
pulp, which is so efficiently utilized
abroad, has also greatly modified the
success of beet-sugar in Maine. Until
a sufficient supply of beets can be de-
pended on at reasonable rates and the
refuse fairly disposed of it will be hardly
possible that success can attend any
manufacturing establishment, however
efficiently managed. To. make the in
dustry paying and permanent one
there must be interest, intelligence and
good management all around. It is
but fair to state that, so far at least as
Maine is concerned, the farmers from
all accounts appear to be responsible for
much of the encouragement attending
the beet-sugar experiment in their State.
The Portland Company claim in the
face of many disappointments to be
q confident of future success If this is
secured it will be because the farmers
awaken to genuine interest in the mat
ter and set about obtaining accurate
knowledge as to the requirements of
the best crop at their hands, and con-
scientiously fulfil those requirements

JUDGING A SENATOR By HIS LOOKS
Judge Mackey (Rep.) from South Caro-
lima, was sitting in the gallery of the
Senate when sharp faced, razor-strap-
looking fellow said to him: Mister,
can you point out to me that Internal
Hamburger murderer, Butler, of South
Carolina ?" Certainly" said the polite
Judge; s'and I will point out, also, other
notables of the Senate. Don't you see
that handsome Senator with light, curly
hair. Well, that is Conkling; and the
gray-headed, bright-looking ma. near
him is Blaine; that large Senator is
Judge Davis, of Illinois; and over there
is Gen. John B. Gordon talking to
Lamar. Don't you see that bald headed
man % pointing to Senator Edmunds;
ssveu, that is Butler, of South Carolina.
The eyes of our Yankee friend were
lighted up with indignation as he re-
Piled: Eyes, I could have picked him
out of thousand" adding good deal
that was not complimentary to the
distinguished Vermonter. The other
day Senator Edmunds came over on the
Democratic side, when Mr.. Vest said:
ssEdmunds, Hampton has a good joke
on you" and the gallant Carolinian was
forced to tell the whole story. Senator
Edmunds laughed heartily, and re-
marked that it was compliment to be
taken for so handsome man as Gen.
Butler. The fact, however, is that Mr..
Edmunds face strongly indicates justice
and wisdom, with no trace of mercy in
it, unless when he is talking to Mr..
Thurman or some personal favorite, and
then it is as genial and pleasant as
possible.

Beautiful Extract.

The following beautiful extract is
from lecture by Professor Mitchell,
the astronomer:
God called man in dreams into the
vestibule of heaven, saying, "Come
up hither, and I will show thee the
glory of my house" And to his an
gels who stood about his throne, he
said, "Take him, strip him of his
robes of flesh; cleanse his affections;
put new breath into his nostrils;
but touch not his human heart-the
heart that fears, and hopes, and
trembles." A moment and it was
done, and the man stood ready for
his unknown voyage. Under the
guidance of mighty angel, with
sounds Of flying pinions, they sped
away from the battlements of heaven.
Some time, on the mighty angels
wings, they fed through Saharas of
darkness, wilderness of death. At
length, from distance not counted
save in the arithmetic of heaven, a
light beamed upon them-a sleepy
fame, as through cloud. They
sped on, in their terrible speed, to
meet the light; the light, with lesser
speed, came to meet them moment,
the wheeling Of planets; then came
long eternities of twilight; then
again, on the right hand and left, ap-
peared more consultations. At last,
the man sank down, crying, "Angel,
I can 90 no further; let me lie down
in the grave and hide myself from
the infnitude of the Universe, for
end there is none." END is there
none?', demanded the angel again;
sand is it this that awes thy sonI2 I
answer, end there is none to the
Universe of God. Lo, also there is
no beginning"

PRESS CENSORSHIP IN RUssIA.-Inci-
dents in editorial life in st. Petersburg:
Not long ago M. Polilikoff, editor of the
Moloa, moderate journal, the organ of
the educated commercial classes, was
ordered to attend at Gen. Gourko's
Office. Arriving at the appointed hour,
he was conducted into the Chancellerie.
A gendarme appeared, ordered him to
stand to attention, ranged himself beside
him, and held him by the sleeve of his
coat, as if in custody. A door opened,
and the frowning military dictator APP
peared, and thus addressed the captive
journalist: "Your conduct of your
paper has obliged me to send for you.
Should I have to do so again your
journal will be suppressed, and you will
incur very serious personal conse-
quences." Next Ito the gendarme)

torrent of abuse. 'tYou are revol1l-

ENGLISH FAMILIARITY WITH GREAT
THINKERs.-National and public life is no.
where so developed as in England. Any.
thing or anybody of general interest be-
comes at once part of public life in this
country. Something approaching takes
place in France, though in far smaller
degree than in England. 1t is unknown
in Germany. An eminent physician, an
eloquent and learned Judge, successful
fnancier, distinguished psychologist and
all his life unknown to those who are
strangers to his profession or coterie, viii
at once be familiar to the whole Of culti-
waited society in England. You scarcely
find lady here who does not know wEo
is Max Muller or Mr.. Jowett, Mr.. Tyndal
or Mr.. Luxley. You might 60 through all
the drawing-rooms of Hamburg and Lil-
beck, Bremen and Elberfeld. without
finding gentleman who ever heard OF
Bopp or Boeckh, ofKirchhoff or Hemboltz.
Now it is only natural that such names
should exercise great authority, and that
the masses of the cultivated portion of the
nation-the ladies particularly, who form
such an important part OF 1t In this coun-
try--should blindly follow the impulse
given by the bearers of such illustrious
names. The fact does not the less strike
the foreigner, who is not accustomed to
such asais0n0 in his own country, where
the public, consisting almost exclusively
of competitors and rivals, or at any rate
of men who think themselves competent
judges of eminent men, submit them AMI
their ideas to a severe criticism and sharp
contradiction - The Ninteeath Century.

Loving the Prairies Who Does Notg

Do you suppose that men ever learn to
love the prairies That is as they love
the mountains? Love them SO they
grow homesick away from them? So
their hearts live in the prairies and throb
anew at the sight Of them, and ache with
a dumb longing for them when they
leave them, and grow to them as the
heart of the mountaineer grows to his
hills? Well, they do. You Will find
men out here who are infatuated with
these fertile plains; who could not be
lured to live away from them. I have a
friend in Larned, Kansas-Major Inman
of the Chronoscope- is type of the
true sons of the prairies. I have asked
him the same questions have asked In
the foregoing paragraph.
Love the prairies," T" he cried, his fine
face mantling with glow of genuine en-
thusiam, ''I worship them. I live in
tender and affectionate awe of their i'm
mensity. We dwellers of the prairies
live between two heavens, one of match
less green beneath our feet. and one of
the fadeless blue above our heads, and
circling around us we see them fade into
each at the horizon. I ride over the
prairies, drink in the clear pure air
laden with health and life, the free winds
blow in my glad face; there IS more ex-
hiIaration in gallop across our prairies
than there is in champagne, and there is
no headache nor heartache in the ride.
The world stretches itself out before me,
and great, wide, unbounded world,
full of room and freedom. You shut me
up in some little, narrow contracted val
ley, with the great mountains frowning
down upon me every time I look out,
and I would smother. Resplendent
with beauty the valley might be, the
beauty of gray rocks. the dainty ferns,
and velvet MOSES and sparkling cascades
and pipe-crowned hills, but I could not
breathe in it. would tire of climbing
and toillng like worm up the steep
hillside, and my heart would ache for
my broad free prairies, with the spring
ing turf under my mustangs flying
hoofs, and the winds of Kansas kissing
my face. ."-Burdette in H0aOkeye.

800 bill, all in separate envelopes in a

equalize the percentage, the operator
claiming that it was no game, only a
means contrived by himself for the adver-
tisement of his pens, which, when once
used, could not be done without. The
principle of the game was: One dollar for
a box of the celebrated Parker pens and

chances were taken would be superfuous

The Texas Fashion Of Churning.

thought that had seen a good many
kinds of churns before I came down
here-crank churns, dasher churns, and
chemical churns." But I will now
describe mode Of churning butter that
will, I think. make New England folks
open their eyes. Commonly, they do
not make much butter in this country,
and the settlers here come to get along
without it; but by the time I had been
at the poesta two or three days, I began
to want some butter on my bread.
M had herd of 25 or 80 cattle,
which he kept for beef, and among them
a number of milch COWS. Ed was hidden
to set the milk for "a hours; and the
Liz" rs we called him, to churn They
had done such thing as to churn butter
before, it appears. Liz went out and
brought bag of raw-hide, about as
large as common meal bag. How clean
it was inside, am sure do not know;
but he turned the cream into it, and
poured in new milk enough to fill it two
thirds full; and then he tied it up with
strong strip of hide.
M stood with broad grin on his
face. was already too much aston
ished to make any remarks. Liz now
carried the bag out of doors, and then
got his horse. Taking his lasso off the
saddle, he made one end of it fast to the
cream bag; the other end, as usual, be-
ing attached to ring in the saddle.
This done, he jumped on his horse and
tucked spurs to him. Away he went,
and at the first jerk that bag went ten
feet in the air, and fell with a squanch,
close at the horses heels At the next
jerk it went higher still. He soon went
out of sight, with the bag dancing after
him. Sometimes it hit down alongside
the horse, and sometimes it struck slap
on the animals rump. M was con-
vulsed with laughter-at me, suppose;
for must confess that this upset all my
previous ideas of butter-making. In the
course of 20 or 80 minutes Liz came
back, the horse looking pretty hot, and
the bag very dusty.
