The PrOnOun Trouble in Arizona
Middletown Transcript.

A few days ago q fash young man
from ON Eastern college arrived ct
Tombstone, Arizona, and registered
his name at the principal hotel. A
socially inclined person in blue shirt
and wide trimmed hat, who CHANGED
to be in the Office. good naturally
answered every question and volun-
teered vast amount of interesting
information about Arizona in general,
and Tombstone in particular.
do you see them hillsf" asked the
Tombstoner, pointing through one OF
the Office windows. We'll, them hills
is chock full of pay dirt
The young man from the East
looked shocked. my dear sir" he
said proudly, but kindly, you should
say those hills are--nOt them hillsl"
The Tombstoner was silent for mo-
meut. He looked the young man
from the East critically over, as if he
was estimating the size Of coffin he
would wear. Then drawing out an
ivory stocked seven shooter Of elabo-
rate style and finish, he said in a soft,
mild. musical tone of voice, that
sounded like wildwood brook cours-
ing Ger its pebble bed: MY gentle,
unsalted tenderfoot from the land of
the rising sun. this here's pint that
you and me Gisagrees on, and we
mightas we'll have it settled right now.
| haven't looked in a grammar lately,
but | say them hills is is correct, and
I'm going to stand by that opinion
while I've got shot left. I'll give
you just three minutes to think calmly
over the subject" The young man
from the East looked down the deli
cately chased barrel of the revolver,
into the placid depths Of the eyes of
the Tombstoner, and began to feel
that many points in grammar are un 4.
certain and liable to grow more SO
Then he thought Of the coroner's
inquest and Of the verdict Game to
his death by standing in front OF Col
orado Toms seven-shootor," and of
the long pine bsx going east by express
with $50 charges on it; and before half
the three minutes was up he was ready
to acknowledge his error. "Since he
had thought it over calmly" he said,
"he believed them hills is is right.
He had spoken on the spur of the
moment" he added, land begged a
thousand pardons for his presumptu'.
GUS effort to substitute bad grammar
for good" The Tombstoner forgave
him freely, and grasping his hand,
said: II know'd you'd say you was
wrong after you thought a moment.
| admire a man who gives right in
without arguing when he knows he's
wrong. Come along and irrigate.
And they irrigated.

stock Of Pig-irOn.
Chicago Journal of Commerce.


At the meeting Of the Western Pig
iron Association, at Plt,sburg on the
2lst, the stocks of the pig iron on
hand we're reported at about the same
as in December. The stock of pig
iron on hand at the close of 1882 az
gregated 400 694 tons, against 2l0,S96
in 1881, and 456 .658 in 1880. In ALE
gheny county the stock amounted to
17,272 tons on the last day of Decem
Der, 1882, against 800 tons the CORES
ponding date of 1881, and 1858 tons
in 1880. OF the whole supply in hand
on January last, Pennsylvania held
150,858 tons, against 43,424 a year
before, and 1884, two years pre-
Viously. Ohio had 1922 tons
against 1851 tons at the close Of
1881, and 80, 237 at the close OF, 1881.
1t was also stated that pig iron is firm
at present figures, and unless induce
ments shall be offered by the ore
companies the furnaces would do
about the right thing to reduce the
output during the twelve months
beginning with the next June. There
was no formal action taken on the ore
question. 1t is said that measures
will soon be taken to arrange the basis
of contracts for the next year between
the ore producers aud the pig iron
media at present there is a disposition
among the latter to bring down the
price of ore. A gentleman who is in a
position to know said that the furnace
owners we're Inclined to shut down
until ore contracts can be made on
more favorable terms, but those con-
cerned in the meeting this morning
state that the subject was not breach

Tanning a wild Partridge.

To dOmesticate the partridge has
frequently been attempted, but rarely
accomplished. The eggs have been
placed under the ordinary hen for
incubation, thinking by association
with the nest mates the little partridge

but instinct would invariably lead

There ara about seyeaty miles Of
paved streets in Boston, and, on an
average, over thirty miles OF streets
in sweeping weather are gone over
daily with the broom, sweeping ma
chimes, etc; that is, according to
Boston paper, about one hundred
and eighty>6ve miles of streets are
swept each week. The city employs
nine sweeping machines, and twenty
niLe carts employed regularly upon the
streets gather the dirt that accumu
lates upon them. These find constant
employment during about nine months
in the year, together with a force Of
about eighty men. The cost of labor
for doing this work for the year ending
April 81 was $76,399, a1d about the
same for the preceding year. The
record Of all large cities shows a large
yearly expenditure for keeping streets
clean,

How Panthers Climb Trees.

A ridiculous story-based on some
body's scientific theory--is circulated
through the press that panthers in a
wild state do not climb trees. The
Leonards, Of PierpOnt, who have shot
many of them from tops Of trees, know
better than that. Like a house cat
they spring from the ground and
clutch the body of the tree at as great
\ height as possible, and climb the

The Presidents KaiIroad Fare

The conductor between Petersburg
and Weldon. N. G., had received no
instructions about passing the Presi-
dents car, and after his regular col-
lactions he entered the special car,
counted eighteen seats and seven 90
cupants, aud called for eighteen tick
cts, or SAT so, passage for eighteen
persons from Petersburg to Weldon.
The President reached for his purse.
Private Secretary Phillips said there
must be a mistake. The conductor
stolidly protested that he must do his
duty. Then the colored porter, Joe
Green, whipped out instructions from
the Vice President of the road, d.
recting him to place the car at the
Presidents disposal. The conductor
remained obdurate, but finally con-
sented to make telegraphiO inquiry at
the next station. He found at Bel.
field, few minutes later, telegram
ordering him to pass the Presidents
car,

The Food Value Of COtitR Seed.
Journal of Chemistry d


An interesting paper has been read
on this subject, by Professor Gulley.
before the Society for the Promotion
of Agricultural Science, at Montreal.
1t seems that our crop Of cotton seed
amounts to 100000 tons, or 100000.
600 bushels; and that during the past
year the oil mills consumed 10000
tons of seed in the manufacture OF
cotton seed oil, while less than one
half Of the remainder was used for
fertilizers, seed and feeding stock, the
balance being total loss. The great.
est value OF the oil (which has hither.
to been used for a variety of other
purposes) is now found to be in cult
nary purposes. Perfectly refined and
skillfully used, it is equal to the best
lard in all cooking operations. Cot,
ton seed cake, or meal, is also espe.
cially rich in nutritive matter fol
farm stock. Estimating the cottor
at 10 certs per bushel, and oat straw
and coarse hay at $40 per ton, th,
average cost Of food consumed pel
head per day of COWS experimental
upon during the past winter was a.

there should be an increasing demand
as the spring advances. Louisiana is

crop rapidly to market, and this has
been felt IL falling off in consump
ton Of foreign sugar, although there
has been no decrease of the total cons
sumption of the United States, but an
increase Of about $1,000 tons since
January l. over last year. Since the
first instant the receipts at four ports
have been 1926 tons from Cuba, 1929
tons from Brazil. 5l5 tons from Brit.

from East Indies, and 1910 tons from
Europe; total 6l49 tons, of which 2l93
arrived to refners and 1856 tons to
importers. Sales for same time were
