4 STRANGE PHENOMENON.
Actual Pam Experienced in an Am.
 Dutated Foot

The Eureka Sentinel of the 23d says: It has heen observed by scien- lists in the course of physiological research that people who have lost a limb sometimes have actual sensation in the lost member. It is asserted by some scientists that this is not true; that the sensation which the patient pretends to feet is purely imaginary. Though these admit that the mind may be so affected that bodily pain is felt by sort of sym, pathy. A singular case in point has occurred in the Eureka hospital. It will be remembered that about two months ago patient in the insttu- ton suif red the loss of both his feet or a greater portion of them. He is the notorious "Rattler." He com. plained last week sometime of an in. tense pain ;n the bottom of his right foot. He was laughed at and the other patients tried to persuade him that the pain was entirely in his imagination. He persisted in his complaints, and begged them so earnestly to come to his relief that at last they went and dug up the DOT
 tons of his feet that had been ampu- tated, and which had been buried in an old coal-oil can III the rear of the hospital, "Rattler" had always said that the pain was Tn the Aeshy part of the right foot, back of the toes, and that he felt as though a needle was sticking in it. Sure enough, when the frozen part of the foot was dug up aud examined, piece of a big needle was found em bedded in the flesh. It was pulled out to grati- fly the whim of poor Rattler, since which time he has not felt the pain nor complained of 1t any more.

IL is said, by parties who claim their ability 10 sustain it, that the reward of Sl,0A0 offered by the Stockrasers' PrOtec. live Association for Curly Bill, was claimed by Wyatt Earp, an the amount, in horses and money, paid to him by II. c.

STRUGGLING TOR SUPREMACY.

The Boston Economist, in lengthy review of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, thus sums up the situation: .,
 Thus is the Atchison completed, or in very few months will be, from the Missouri river to the waters of the Pacific, making it, as it has been truly designated, the longest contin- uous line of railway in the world. There IS everything in this rather unexpected consummation, hastened as it doubtless was by the course of events which menaced q most serious rivalry to the Atchison project, to excite the congratulations alike of the Atchison stockholders and the entire community. But i. suggests more than it at present satisfies. Guaymas is allowed to be an import ant outlet on the Pacific; but the three great ports on the Pacific are San Francisco, San Diego and Puget Sound. It was to San Diego that the Atchison originally directed its course as its chief entrepot for the Pacific trade, holding Gusymas and Mexico as powerful spurs and sup. port to the vast system. The prob. lem that still awaits its solution and is to challenge its greatest effort, is that of securing not only the Pacific traffic, but that of Mexico and the Gulf to its own line, instead of per. hitting it to be carried by to the south of it to St. Louis. It was to threaten this, If not to ultimately accomplish it, that the Gould Hunt ington combination was effected.
 The reasons are therefore as many and urgent as they were before the purchase of the Sonora road, for the completion of tine Atlantic & Pacific from Albuquerque across the Colo rado river to an intersection of the California Southern, at point sixty miles north of Colton, since by such an intersection the California South cru at once furnishes tine Atchison with its originally projected and chief outlet at San Diego, and al the same time maintains the Califor- nia Southern as a standing menace tp the Southern Pacific, holding it fast and firm at the very base of its competitive operations. Ina pur- chase of the St. Louis < San Fran, cisco road by MT. Huntington was intended to change the locality of the contest for the greater advantage of the Southern Pacific. The fight, ing policy, so to speak, of the Atch. ison road should be to complete the western division of the Atlantic & Pacific road before the Indian terri, tory division was begun. By push ing forward it original project now, after Pacific port had been secured at Guaymas, it would seem to be in the way of completing Its system with ever greater thoroughness than the public had anticipated. It is, of course, to be expected that the Southern Pacific will throw every obstruction in its path possible, and notably in Arizona; but fna. triumph can hardly fail to be the reward of courage that rests on a solid founda. ton.
