Poisoning Rabbits.

The last report of the New Zealand
Agricultural society reveals that its
managers have found it necessary to
resort to the wholesale use of poison in
order to prevent their crops from being
entirely destroyed by rabbits. During
the three years which ended in October
last more than 100000 pounds of poi
soned oats were scattered over the COM
pany's estates, with the result that
nearly three millions of skins were
picked up and brought to market.

Bob Ingersoll and several more of his
admirers went to the depot to meet him.
AS the president-elect stepped off the
car Ingersoll went forward, held out his
hand, and said: "How are you, gen.
eral?' Garfield smiled and replied:
Royal, Bob" A reporter wrote up an
account of the meeting between the
president and the noted infidel but the
intelligent compositor and the still more
intelligent proof-reader consigned to an
early and unhonored grave the comma
between Royal and @Bob," so that
next morning it appeared in the paper
as Royal Bob" This spread through
out the United States, and hence the
name.

The Bunko Mans Victims.

The class from which the professional
swindler's victims are usually drawn
consists largely of people who are dis
honest within limitations. They will
not subject themselves to legal pains
and penalties, but they will get the bet
ter of their neighbors whenever it can
be done safely. 1t is because there is
so considerable an admixture of knavery
in the conduct Of many of the victims
of these professional swindlers that the
latter are enabled to ply their vocation
so boldly and with such immunity.

The use of beads is again becoming
great rage for that sort of ornament
as there was twelve or fifteen years ago.
Beads are made of great variety
of materials, glass, stone, metals, coral,
bone, ivory, amber, ETC., but glass is
generally understood when beads are
spoken of without special description.
And they are a very old institution.
Venice is the place of their
greatest production, where their
manufacture has been a staple in
dustry for more than thousand years.
compete with Venice in bead making,
but living there is so cheap an artisan
is able to subsist on cents day, and
they possess secrets of glass-ooloring
known nowhere else, so that opposition
has not been successful. They give
more than two hundred different tints
to single -colored beads, and when they
come to combinations the possibilities
are unlimited. The production is so
great that in Venice bunch of
small beads of eighty strings, each
string six inches long, can be bought
for about 2 cents These beads are
chiefly sold to the North American In
dians. It is singular fact that fashion
in civilization and barbarism meet on a
level in the choice of beads, the inhabi-
tants of the South Sea islands and the
ladies of New York city, in times of
bead crazes, showing preference for
about the same article III color, style,
and make. The most costly and best
glass beads are made in Paris. It is
there we get our Roman pearl, mirror
beads, ETC. Bead manufa sture has been
tried disastrously in this country. The
cost here is too great.

The Curse OF Poverty.
NV. II. H. Murray.l

Oh, cursed poverty! I know thee to
be of Satan, for myself have eaten at
thy scanty table, and slept in thy cold
bed. And never yet have seen thee
bring one smile to human lips, or dry
one tear as it fell from human eve.
Bat have seen thee sharpen the tongue
for biting speech an harden the tender
heart. Ay, I've seen thee make even the
presence of love burden, and cause the
mother to wish that the babe nursing
her scant breast had never been born.

The Holiday Shooting.

From Charley Bagshy, who ba. recently returned to Tombstone, is gathered the following particu- lars concerning the reported kill ing Of 8 man in Leadville by Doc Holiday. It appears that bad blood existed for some time be- tween a policeman there named Kelly, and Holiday. On the evening of the shooting, Kelly had been going about the saloons looking for Holiday, and upon Kelly finally coming into a saloon where the latter was present, Holiday stepped up to him and and asked fhe was armed. Kelly replied in the affirmative, and started to draw h is gun. Holli- day was too quick for him, how ever, and shot him through the arm. Kelly fell, and Doc step- ping then close up 10 him, dis charged another shot at his head. By a miracle, it would seem, he did not kill him outright, the ball cutting the hair from the side of the head and passing into the floor. Before he could fire again he was arrested and taken away. At the subsequent examination the testimony showed Holiday entirely in the right, and he was discharged.-Record.

Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, died suddenly day before yesterday, at the age of seventy. He has been in the United States Senate twenty-five years and was elected to hold the present term |, which would have given him thirty years. He was a journalist and editor of the Providence Journal. the ablest and best con- ducted newspaper in the State of Rhode Island, when his State made him Senator. He was a man of greater influence in the councils of the nation than the diminutive area of the State he represented seemed to justify; but this was owing to his patriot ism, integrity and business ahility-6ig common sense. Fhe little State will have difficulty in the effort to supply his place with another 30 good a man.

Horse Polsoner Arrested.

St Louis, September 2d.-Tho.
 mas Redmond, alias "Texas l Tom,o a notorious 'tout," who l has been ruled off nearly every
 race.track in America, was arres-
 ted yesterday and is locked up on
 a charge of attempting 10 admin
 ister poison to 8 npmbes of
 valuable horses entered for the
 fall meeting. His arrest grew
 out of disclosures made last
 Thursday to Sam Byant, owner
 of the valuable twO-yearIold Ally Lady of the Lake by one of
 his grooms named William
 Whalen. Whalen related that
 he had been approached by Red
 mond with an offer of $500 if he
 would give Lady some of the contents of large bottle which
 Redmond carried. The groom assented and took the bottle, but instead of administering the dose to the mare, carried it to MT. Bryant, who at once had it analysed and found to his great alarm that it contained large quantities of laudanum and other harmful drugs. Redmond believing that he had won Wha- lens confidence and cooperation, had already made the disclosure that a large sum had been placed 1 by himself and accomplIces on NodawaY, a "shOrt" horse in the | race. and that the scheme was to disable enough of the favorites to insure Nodaway's winning the race.
 Redmond has, since his arrest, owned up to having dosed Col. Hunts John Davis at the last summer meeting at Chicago, and Bob Pate's Boatinan and Assem- Ter at the springs meeting at Pittsburg. BOatman and Davis are still suffering from their loses. but the other horses are ;onvalescent. Manitou, Carson md Trobadour are the otheri horses he has confessed to doing.

YUMA ARIZONA SATURDAY SEP. 13. 1884.

A correspondent of the Pacific,
 who appears to be thoroughly
 posted, corrects the statement
 that General Logan as we'll as his wife is member of the Metho-
 dist church, and says that his wife is but he is not. AS some may
 be prejudiced for and some
 against the General for this in
 correct statement, he thinks it
 best that the facts should be given. These, according to a prominent
 Presiding Elder Tn the Methodist
 Episcopal Church, are as follows: Some years ago the pastor of tn e Trinity Church telegraphed Gem eral Logan to know if he would announce his name among others as probationary member on the following Sunday; to which the General replied by telegraph that II 1t "would help the cause any" to use his name in that way he was at liberty to do SO. The pastor did so use it. and that was all the joining of the NJ. E. church in which John A. Logan ever took part.

 the postoffice a million times a day. A least so he says. Our boy
 doesn't vary from the boy in any other newspaper office by hairs breadth. He calls the editors and reporters by their last names when they are absent. When asked to go anywhere he starts off and goes down stairs three steps at 8 time: He can't even wait for the elevator. He will tumble into or over anybody on the stairs, and he rushes through the counting-room with such speed that everybody puts his hat and cont on and wonders where the fire is. When he reaches the door his haste instan tly expires. In fifteen minutes he will return and ask
