An Arizona Wonder.

Ar iona 81 II.
About a week ago Walk Williams
and Joe Russell, while sinking a shaft
upon their cave mine, on the eastern
slope of Copper Queen hills. in Bisbee,
at a depth of about thirty feet, broke
IN upon an opening, the extent of
which was not fully known until day
before yesterday, when a h lie large
cough to admit a man was made.
Rocks had been thrown down, and
from the resound it was evident that
the openiI g was of considera lie extent,
but il was not until a man with can
dies had been lowered by a rope to a
distance of so feet that the full ex-
tent of the wonderful place was dis
covered. With lighted candles he ex-
plOred the cave, rivaling in grandeur
that Of Aladdin, with the difference
that, instead of precious stones. our
Bishee cave was literally hung with
stalantitoG Of onpPo- o,ain, whilo from
the bottom uprose stalagmiles of the
same material, caused by thousands OF
years of trickling water through the
everything limestone. On all sides
were found great deposits of copper
carbonates, in places appearing like
green velvet. the greenish reflection
from all sides appearing ghOstlike, but
grand.

a Fair OF Mules LOST on a wager.
Galveston (Tex.) News.
A novel wager was decided at the
fai. grounds in Sherman. The be-
was that a mule could not r1ove a
sack of salt ten feet, the mule being at
one end of a 200-foot rope, two inches
In diameter, and the salt tied to the
other end, the mule not to waver
more than q feet either way from a
straight line in pulling, and if the
sack was not moved on the first pull
three trials were to be had. The stakes
were Sl25 against pair of mules
On the first pull the sack of salt was
moved four feet Considerable money
changed hands on the result. The
loser turned over the lost mules with
a grace and dignity beftting the occa-
sion.

The prosecuting lawyer making no

Tense was complied with. In the judges
room surprise awaited court and jury"
Standing there, In the middle Of the
floor was man the very counterpart OF
the prisoner. He was of the same
height, build, and complexion, had eyes,
hair, and features precisely like those
of Akerton. The closest scrutiny Of the
two men revealed 10 points Of difference
LII face or form. In utter bewildermeat
the jury gazed from the prisoner to his
double. No one spoke for several mo-
ments; then the prisoners counsel broke
the silence by asking that the stranger
be allowed to exchange clothing with
the accused, and conducted to the dock.
To this the crown attorney offered
feeble and unavaiiing objection. Aker-
ton was left with TWO officers in the
judges room, while the duplicate, hay
ing made the exchange of garments,
was led into court.
Now said the prisoners attorney,
Il will recall MIR. DOwnes, the book
keeper, who witnessed my clients dis
charge by Mr.. Pierson."
MIR. DGwnes took the stand.
Are you positive that the man in the
dock yOnder is Lewis Akerton?"
"Yes, sir"
would you recognize him anywhere.in
any dress, and under any circumstan-
ces?"
Yes, sir"
THAT is all"
The eye-witnesses for the crown were
next crOss-examined, separately of
course, and all Of them declared that
the man with whom they were confront
ed was the maa who stabbed Mr.. Pier
son. No amount of questioning could
shake this testimony, at the conclusion
OF which the real prisoner was brought
into court and placed with his cOun-
terpart. For third time the prOsecu-
ton s witnesses were called to the stand
and under renewed cross examination
admitted that they could not tell which
of the two men before them they had
seen before.
"NOw, your Honor" said the defend
ants counsel, when the last question
had been asked and answered, "as the
crown has failed to place the identity of
the prisoner beyond doubt, and, indeed,
has failed to fix his identity with the
murderer of Mr.. PiersOn at all, l ask
that the jury be instructed to return a
verdict of not guilty"
The jury were so instructed and
found verdict accordingly, and, amid
irrepressible applause, the prisoner, his
double, and his ingenious counsel left
the court room.
(which of the two was really guiltyw
asked the puzzled newspaper man.
"The court had no means of ascertain

identity. OF course, he could not be de-

The Pineapples of New ENGLAND.

1t was in the early days of the Ply

gravely funny passage from it: Hap

that Master Josselyn afterward sedu-

Scripture Revision.

The following is genuine extract
from the composition of a little native
African girl, Is years old, a wild savage
only few years ago, now pupil in
the orphan school at Cape Palmast.
Do you know what is history? His
tory, rs you know. teaches us what is
happen in the past event, and geogra-
ply shows us where the garden of Eden
is, which continent and which division,
history tells us that Adam was the first
man who was created, and while he
was sleeping God took out one of his
ribs and made Eve. After awhile Eve
went to walk among the trees of the
| garden; conversation took place be-
tween her and the devil. The devil
told her to eat some kind OF fruit which
| God had told her and Adam not to eat.
She took it and ate it. Also she took
some for Adam, her husband. When
Adam saw it he did not take no time to
ask Eve where did she get it from.
History, geography and the earth
just do go together, one tells us about
that, and one about this and so forth.
Histories are interesting to read indeed
they are.
1t tells something about the whale.
The whale is the largest animal in the
sea. The whale is spoken of in the
bible.
When God sent Jonah to Ninevah to
preach to the people about their sins
Jonah refused to go. He went into a
ship with some people. He just went
in there to hide from God but God caused
great storm to take place. The ship
went from this way to that way. The
people was afraid indeed and they be-
gan to cast lots and the lots fell upon
him.
They took him up and threw him in
to the sea. While he was going to the
bottom of the sea he met with this ami
NAL, SO the whale said: ''My friend,
where are you going?" Jonah answer
ed and said: Il have disobeyed my
God and 1 am trying to hide from his
face" The Whale: "Well, you ought
to be ashamed of yourself. Don't you
know that neither you nor can hide
from Gods face.''
Jonah: ''Oh, Whale, am afraid I
don't know what I'm doing or saying"
The whale said: "Jonah, o Jonah,
harken unto me and take heed unto thy
self for in will swallow you soon.'
"Have mercy on me, o whale, and if
its Gods will he will carry me safely
to the land SO may obey Him."
The Whale 'Jonah, put your head
in my mouth and get ready for your
life.''
"Jonah: "Whale, l think you had
better swallow me because see there
is no use in talking" $3.50. 5
The Whale: "Jonah, the idea of
your running away from God! You
will have to bear the consequence, that
is all I have got to say"
At the same time the whale swallowed
him up. Jonah thought the whales
belly was his grave and end. He did
not think he would get to the show any
more, therefore he offer prayer to God
for his sins and if he should die before
he should get to the show, if it was
Gods will carry his soul to heaven.
The whale did not rest day after day,
night after night, so after three days
the whale went to the show and vom-
tied Jonah up. Jonah was just like
drowned rat.
