It is stated that Councillor Cud- dy went into a restaurant in LO- gan City few days ago, ate his dinner, and upon being asked to pay for the meal, looked some what surprised, and said that it was the first mining camp that he had ever lived in that he had to pay for his board. This rather surprised the proprietor of the restaurant. It was no surprise, however, to the Tomhstoners in the vicinity, as it was well known fact here. that the COun- cilor was not in the habit of pay- ing for what he ate, or for any, thing else if he could avoid it, when living in Tombstone - Tombstone Republican, March 6.

WANTED, A WIFE
A COLLEGE TALE.
j. Randall. in Time.

]. Randall, in Time
Jack Horribly of Brazenface College,
Oxford. had just finished his usual after
breakfast pipe, on the last day of the
summer term, 1880, when his attention
was arrested by sharp rap at his door,
Immediately followed by the entrance
of the well-dressed person of his college
friend, Methven.
"Come along in" said Horribly, "and
light yourself a pipe"
mo, thank we, can't STOP" replied
Methven, "as 1 have a lot to do this
morning; but thought would Just run
across and tell you bit of news. I have
just arranged glorious hoax, at the ex-
pense, L need hardly say, of old Crofton;
he has become too cute lately to be
caught by our old, time-honored jokes,
and so 1 have arranged the following
plan: A week ago l inserted in the
agony column of the Morning ADVERTISER
a glowing matrimonial advertisement, in
which 1 stated that the advertiser, who
was handsome, rich and all that sort of
thing, desired to meet with a pretty and
accomplished girl with view to matri-
mony. All applicants were to send their
photographs; the replies to be sent to H.
c.. No. 121 St. Giles, OXford-that's the
house where my scout lives, and so, of
course, told him to bring me any letters
thus addressed. I got no reply for day
or so, but four days ago l received let
ter from a certain damsel, who described
herself as young, handsome and accom-
plished, inclosed me the photograph of
a very pretty girl, ended by asking me
when and where I should meet her in
town, and signed herself Miss L. Ber-
nard, PiCcadilly Circus postoffice; she
also expressed desire to have the ad-
vertiser's photograph, so promptly sent
her that of old Crofton, which he had
lately given me, and said l would write
tonight when and where I would meet
her; so my scheme is, to somehow in
duce Crofton to meet this girl. She will,
of course, recognize him by the photo
graph [ have sent, will probably rush
into his arms, the kangaroo will be ut
terly overpowered, and there will be an
interesting denOuement Now, Horribly
don't you think that a magnificent piece
of strategy"
"No, indeed don't" said Hornbv. 81
think it an internal shame; and, what's
more, have half mind to 60 and tell
the kangaroo of the hoax"
ooh, come now, said Methven, you'd
never do that, I know. Well I can't
stay any longer, so good-by for the pres
ent."
There is not the very slightest doubt
that if the fates had not interviewed
Horribly would have gone straight to
CroftOn and warned him of the impend-
ing hoax, and this story would never
have been written; but, as it happened,
no sooner had Methven gone out OF
Hornby's rooms than in rushed the Sec
rotary of the College Cricket club in a
state of breathless anxiety; there was a
match at 1l:30, it was now II o'clock and
he could only get together eight men.
So Horribly was promptly enlisted, and
by the time the match was over Meth
ven and his scheme had entirely faded
from his not too retentive memory.

The National LiUe Stock Journal says
that very few farmers make sufficient
preparation for water for stock in Win
ter, and many, indeed, fail to do so in
the Summer. When the cattle have the
run of large lots in which grass is growing
and green, they do not suffer so much
from thirst if they do not happen to
have access to water when they please,
as they do in Winter when living on dry
feed. The succulence of the grass sup
plies, in part, the necessity for water, but,
when living on dry food, everything goes
wrong if water cannot be had when
wanted. Water is essential to animal
life. The blood is three-quarters water,
and it enters into every organ and tissue
of the body It is the vehicle for the
equal distribution of nutriment and heat
to all parts of the body and for carrying
off waste and foreign matters which may
happen to be taken in: and when it is
insufficient for these purposes, the COM
fort and health Of the animal are at once
affected. Assimilation is impaired or
ceases wholly and waste increases, young
animals stop growing, fattening stock
decrease in weight, and COWS shrink in
their milk, and it becomes deteriorated
in quality. 1t can not be long wanting
without causing an actual loss of fat and
flesh. A lack of water is more detri-
mental than lack of food, and creates
more discomfort, and will terminate life
sooner than hunger.
No convenience about farm pay bet
ter than a convenient water supply.
Cows, in particular, should have access
to it all times, especially if they are
obliged to live, as most COWS do, chiefly
on hay, as it creates a stronger demand
for water than other kinds of fodder,
such as straw, corn fodder, or millet.
Some people seem to think if COWS get
water once a day it is all they need but
that is not enough, unless they are liv-
ing on succulent food. such as roots or
ensilage.

immensely of a Billion.

What is billion? In the French sys-
tenn of notation, which is also used in the
United States, it is thousand million.
But the English system gives the name
billion to a million million. The word
is used in the latter sense in this article.
Sir Henry Bessemer, the famous invent
or, who is in the habit of occupying his
leisure with curious calculations for the
amusement of his grandchildren, tried
to convey some idea of the immensely
expressed in this little word. He took it
successfully as a measure of time, of
length, and of height. Selecting the
second as the unit to be used is his first
calculation, he began with the startling
assertion that billion seconds have not
yet elapsed since the commencement of
the Christian era-nor, indeed, even
sixteenth part OF that number. A billion
seconds make 81 ,687 years, II days, %
hours, 45 minutes, 3 seconds. In regard
to length, he chose for his unit the En-
glish sovereign, a coin or the size of
half-eagle. A chain ola billion sovereigns
would be long enough to pass 763 times
around the globe, or, supposing all these
coins laid side by side, each in contact
with its neighbor, it would form about
the earth a golden zone 56 feet inches
wide. This same chain, were it stretched
out straight, would make line fraction
over 1928, 445 miles in extent. For
measuring height, Sir Henry chose for
unit single sheet of such paper as that
upon which the London Times is printed
"a measure of about 1888 of an inch in
thickness. A billion of these thin sheets,
pressed out fat and piled vertically upon
each other would attain the altitude of
AZ ,348 miles.

THE MOON INHABITED.
Towns, villages and Cultivated Fields Can
Be Seen.

Towns, Villages and Cultivated Fields Can
Be Seen.
At the astronomical observatory of
Berlin, says translation from NyG Pres
sen HeISingfOr, a discovery has lately been
made which, without doubt, will eclipse
the greatest sensation, not only among
the adopts in science, but even among
the most learned. Professor Blendmann,
in that city, has found, beyond a doubt,
that our old friend, the moon, is not
mere lantern which kindly furnishes
light for the loving youth and gas COM
panies of our planet, but the abode of
living, intelligent beings, for which he
is prepared to furnish proofs most con-
vincing.
This question has agitated humanity
from time immemorial, and has been the
object of the greatest interest. But the
opinions have always differed very wide
ly, and no two minds held one and the
same. Already in ancient times the be-
lief prevailed that the moon was inhab-
tied with some higher organized, intelli-
CANT beings, somewhat resembling man,
and in order to communicate with them
the earthly enthusiasts planted rows of
trees several miles in length so as to
form the figure Of the Pythagorean theo-
rem. The celebrated astronomer, Schro-
der, in the beginning of the present CEN
fury, fancied that he could defect places
on the surface of the moon which peri
odically grew lighter and darker, and
from this fact he derived the conclusion
that the phenomenon was proof of ex-
listing vegetation. During the last dec
AIDES, however, the idea of life on the
moon has been held up to ridicule and
totally scorned by men oflearning. But,
nevertheless, it has now been proved to
be correct.
By accident DIR. Blendmann found
that the observations of the moon gave
but very unsatisfactory results, owing to
the intensity of the light power of the
moons atmosphere, which is that strong
that it affects the correctness of the OBJ
servations in very high degree. He
then conceived the idea to make the OBJ
iect glass of the refractor less sensitive to
the rays of light, and for that purpose he
darkaned it with the smoke of camphor
It took months of xperimenting before
he succeeded in finding his right degree
of obscurity of the glass, and when final
ly found he then, with the refractor, took
a very accurate photo of the moons sur
face. This he placed in sun microscope,
which gave the picture diameter of fif-
ty-five and half feet.
The revelation was most startling. It
perfectly overturned all hitherto enter
tanned ideas of the moons surface. Those
level plains which formerly were held to
be oceans of water proved to be verdant
fields, and what formerly was considered
mountains turned out as deserts of sand
and oceans of water. Towns and habit
atoms of all kinds were plainly discerni-
BILE, as well as signs of industry and traf-
fic. The learned Professors study and
observations Of old Luna will be repeat
ed every full moon when the sky is clear,
and we venture to predict that the time
is not far off when we shall know more
about the man in the moon than as being
an agent in English politics.

"welI, tell me what happened, Jack, if

"Wen, tell me what happened, Jack, if
you know"
Thereupon Horribly told the whole
story from beginning to end. When he
had finished Methven said:
81 wonder who the girl was, and when
and where she met me-"
'Of course 1 can't tell you the latter"
said Horribly, as he walked up to the
chimney-piece to -e-fill his pipe. "But
her name, if I remember rightly, is Miss
Lillian West"
Horribly heard a sharp groan, and, on
looking round, saw Methven as white as
a sheet, with his head buried in his
hands.
"Good God, man, what's up" cried
Horribly.
ooh, Jack" said Methven, chats the
very girl loved myself I met her last
Christmas in the country, and I would
have sold my very soul for her, and
now" he continued, with q sob, land
now she's lost forever" With these
words he walked out, leaving Horribly to
ponder deeply on the strange irony of
fate.
Two years have rolled on. Lillian West
is now the wife of Henry Crofton, B. A,
of Brazenface College, Oxford. And
Methven has long since come to the con-
clusion that there are safer modes OF
playing practical jokes on ones friends
than by inserting in the papers fictitious
matrimonial advertisements.

Corporal Greenp the orderly cried.
'Here 7! was the answer loud and clear,
From the lips of the soldier who stood near;
And "Here !" was the word the next replied.
"Cyrus Drew I" then silence fell
This time no answer followed the call

And down in the corn where the peoples grew,
Were redder stains than the peoples knew;
And crimson-dyed was the rivers flood.

And their Hte-blood went to color and tide.

REST IN THEE.
By G. ALBERT CURLER.

Savior, come to Thee,
A weary child, with pain and care oppressed;
Oh, let me lean this aching, burdened heart
Upon thy loving breast.
The way is very dark;
I cannot see il, Lord, through these, my tears
Take Thou mine hand, and draw me up to Thee,
Through all the lonely years
have no strength, dear Lord;
oh let me lie where 1 can touch Thy feet
And gaze up from the dust into Thine eyes,
So loving true, and sweet.
And come, oh come to me,
And raise me to Thine arms, and teach me there
The strange, deep secrets of Thy love, and bend
To listen to my prayer.
Speak to me soft and low,
My spirit yearneth for one little word
To cheer the still sad silence of my life;
One word from Thee, my Lord.
Speak to me, oh my God
There are sweet voices falling on mine ear,
Long known, long loved, but in my inmost soul
Their tones cannot hear,
But thou wilt speak to me,
And as the water falls upon the sea,
And sinks to sleep, so this, my Wearied heart,
Shall find its rest in Thee.

"The liveliest time 1 ever had on the

"Was one night when a snake got loose

him to take it with him into the car.

porter backing the boots, when suddenly
there came from the dresslng-room some
of the shrillest screaming you ever
heard-so keen thatwe heard it over the
noise of the train. I rushed through the
train, followed by the porter, and found
the little lady who had got on at Dayton
perched on tip-toes on the Wash-stand,
frightened out of her wits, and pointing
at something on the floor. She was so
excited that I couldn't make out what
she was saving, but looked down, and
there was nasty little green snake coiled

creepy sort of feeling to see it in my car,

and the boy who brought the cage into
the car rushed in and took the snake up
in his hands. But when the boy had put
the snake back in his cage I settled
matters by dropping the cage, snake and
all, out of the window. felt like drop

dustrialists of the cotton States to pro-
vide a means whereby the people Of all
nations could obtain a knowledge of the
resources, capacity and products of the
Southern States of North America and
at the same time enable the
people of these States to align them
selves with the universal spirit of prog
ress which distinguishes the present era,
but the enterprise has grown beyond
these bounds and now bids fair to be an
exposition of the worlds industrial re-
sources, in which cotton will be incident
ally represented.
THE MANAGEMENT.
Edmund Richardson, of Mississippi,
the largest cotton planter and cotton fac
tor in the world, is president of the Or
ganization, and the management is COM
posed of the leading business men of
New Orleans. The original capital stock
was promptly subscribed and the amount
has since been increased. New Orleans
has set aside for the use ofthe exposition
the largest park in the city, PAT acres in
extent, and appropriated 100000 to the
enterprise E. A. Burke accepted the
position of Director Generaland donated
the salary to the Agricultural and Med
ical College of Louisiana. Correspond
ence was opened with manufacturers
/ anu OAn1D1IO1S Sl1IOuS4OuO IhO WOA4OS
and the construction of the necessary
buildings is being pushed forward rap
! idly.
The growth of interest in exposihons,
their importance to the manufacturers in
opening new markets for their products,
and their value in presenting the natural
resources which attract immigration and
capital are forcibly exemplifed by the
statement that applications for space
have been received by the Worlds Ex-
position management, as follows:

Total. J. 800 ,OOO
The miscellaneous exhibits at the
Philadelphia Centennial covered about
100000 feet of space, and the total ex-
hibits required about 100000 feet of
floor space. Many of the applicants for
space in the New Orleans Exposition can
be reduced, but it is evident that addi-
tional buildings will be required to ac-
commodate the demands from all parts
of the world.

ORNAMENTAL GARDENS.

The grounds will be embellished with
evergreens gathered from all parts of the
world; artificial lakes, fountains and or
namental gardens are being introduced,
and quite a competition has been excited
between Mexico Central America and
Florida in respect to their gardens.
An electric railway will convey the Wis
itors to all parts of the grounds. Five
street railways extend to the park, and a
wharf Immediately in front will accom-
modate the various excursion boats which
will run from all parts of the city; also
steamships from foreign ports and steam
boats from the upper rivers.
One of the most important features Of
this EXpositiOnis the interest manifested
by transportation lines. One hundred
and sixty railroads of the United States
and Canada have agreed to carry passen-
gers at a maximum rate of one cent per
mile each way, and cases the special ex-
cursion rates will be one-half and three
quarters of cent per mile. The regular
fare from New York to New Orleans is
now $50, or 800 for the round trip. AT
the reduced rate an Exposition ticket
would cost about S28 for the round trip.
Only one road, the Camden & Amboy,
made rate to Philadelphia in 1875 as
low as one cent per mile. As the Expo
sition will be open IN midWlnter, say
Decen Der l, and continue for six months,
there is no doubt that these rates will be
taken advantage of by hundreds of thou
sands in the North who desire to visit
the South.
INAUGURATION OF THE ENTERPRISE.
The enterprise was inaugurated by the
Cotton Planters Association of America,
in 1882. It was Endorsed by act Of Con-
gress, approved February 10, 1888 which
declared that World Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition should be
held under the joint auspices Of the
United States, the Cotton Planters Asso-
citation of America and the city selected,
and that it should be national and inter
national in its character. A board OF
management was appointed by the Pres
ident, also commissioners for each Of the
States and Territories. The act of Con-
gress required the President TO invite the
Governments of other nations in the
United States, and provided that exhib-
its should be admitted free Of duty.
The immediate cause Of the determin-
alton to hold such an exposition was the
expression of general desire among the
more progressive agriculturists and in
