THE Albion, Y. r., American. publish ed near the boyhood home of Judge De Forest Porter, has the following mo- tice of the nomination of that gentle man as a delegate to Congress by the of Arizona. The American says the Judge ''is a native of the town of Carlton, in this county; he was reared in our midst and our citizens watch with interest the progress of our young men who boldly push ont to go West, and backed by ability, pluck and push, achieve success, because they are made
 up of the elements which command it. With Judge Porter in Congress to look after them, the interests of Arizona will not be left to chance or the hazard of neglect, but will be cared for as pru- dent business man would look after his own affairs. From a partisan stand point, the Republican banner will not be trailed in the dust by acts of his. Arizona will consult her own home in- terests by giving his nomination the in- dorscmeut Of an overwhelming majority at the polls as We doubt not she will

A traveller in South Africa witnessed not long since a singular combat. He was musing one morning, with his eyes on the ground, when he noticed cater pillar crawling along at rapid pace Pursuing him was host of small ants Being quicker in their movements the ants would catch up with the caterpillar and one would mount his back and bite him. Pausing. the caterpillar would turn his head and bite and kill his tor mentor. After slaughtering dozen or more of his prosecutors, the caterpillar showed signs of fatigue. The ants made combined attack. Betaking himself to a stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed mp, tail first, followed by the ants. As soon as one approached he seized it in his jaw, and threw it of the stalk. The ants, seeing that the caterpillar had too strong position for them to overcome, resOrted to strategy. They began saw ing through the grass stalk. In a few minutes the stalk fell. and hundreds of ants bounced upon the caterpillar. He was killed at once and the victors marched off in triumph, leaving the foes body on the field.

The following item from the Dallas Herald, contains some news of interest tO our capitalists who are pushing into Old Mexico, heretofore the very hot-bed of revolution, and it cannot but be both encouraging and reassuring to know that gradually the conditions are disap- bearing which placed life and property in SO much danger. An exchange says. Up to last February Mexico had no banks. Then concession was given 10 French bankers with a capital of S2O,- OO,OO0. The government gave them the privilege of isssing bills tO the amount of $60,0O0,0O0, and promised tO give the bank the business of the gov ernment office. In return for the con- eession the bank gives the government credit for s10,OO0,OO0. There IS now no fear of further revolutions in the coUn- try, as with this large credit the gov ernment can at once find means to put down an uprising. In the past the diff fculty has been the lack of means to support an army. A bank has also re- gently been established in Sonora, one hfth of the capital of which IS held by luISbstOn parties.

Nnfes for Cattle Men.


 Wyoming claims more cattle than Colorado, based on the estimate of stockmen in the latter State.
 The dividends declared this year by the Savers Cattle company, in Montana amount to more than 3S per cent. on the original investment.
 An average of two train loads of cattle per day are shipped from Dodge City. The Prairie Cattle com pany alone have shipped. 6,0OO head from that point. ---..
 Cattle are scarce in New Mexico and Texas drivers and breeders, who have been spending several months in trying to pick up bargains, find that it costs as much to drive cattle 2s they are worth in Texas.
 Tho cattle inspectors located at Kan sas City and St. Louis, Mo. and Chicago, Ills, are making it rather lively for the honest old shipper who brings in from twenty to fifty head of stray stock on every shipment he makes. Of course he knows nothing about any strays Tn his shipment and Is ready tO give them up, at the same time he takes but little stock in cattle inspectors either at home or abroad.
 Up to September 9th receipts of range cattle at Chicago 22S, ,2j0 through Texans and $500 Northern. The total receipts for last year were li7,34O Texans and 193,ji0 Northern. If there are to be as many Northern cattle this year as last, there are about l35,OJ0 to come during the remainder of the season. During August there were received 1000 head more Texans than for the same month last year, and 3.O6D less Northern cattle
 That epidemic known as the Texas cattle fever has made its appearance in number of herds in the West. The on- ly way to treat 1t is to isolate the cattle that have it, and keep the native cattle of the pastures that have been used by the sick ones until after frost, winch seems to kill the germs of the disease. It is not contagious except when native cattle come in direct contact with the diseased beasts, or are Uastured on lands that have recently been used by them.

The Benton weekly record., 1882-11-09
Election Talk Yesterdays

The principal topic Of conversation in
Benton yesterday was politics, and almost
everywhere, in the business houses, the
hotels and the saloons could be seen small
knots Of men, and not unfrequentlY large
ones, earnestly discussing the eclection re-
turns. AT the court house could be seen
in the Recorders office all Of the old wheel
horses Of Democracy having q good time
generally and rejoicing over their success.
One thing only seemed to throw cloud
over their rejoicing and that was the most
unaccountable manner in which Maginnis
fell behind his ticket III the Benton pre-
cnct, and all kinds Of theories were adj
vanced to account for it, but the prevailing
opinion seemed to be that it was due to a
few sore-headed old Democrats, who, like
man going down the Missouri river,
looked one way and roWed the other, In
other words, while they talked the most
orthodox Democracy openly, scratched
Maginnis' name before they put in their
tickets, and, wherever they dared, induced
others to do the same thing.
The defeated Republican candidates, as
a rule, seemed to have retired like prairie
dogs, into their holes, and then to have
pulled the holes in after them, and will
probably remain there until after they
have been assured BY the sworn affidavits
Of their friends outside that the political
torrent by which they have been over
whelmed has subsidized sufficiently for them
to again make their appearance.
