as Mr.. Tildeu ing" asked a timid
reporter at the Grammacy Park man
sion. Before he could be answered
by the porter there was a sudden
rattling of metal and Tilden came
down sixty steps flight of stairs
at two jumps, dressed in complete
chain armor and armed with club.
"Yes, I'm in" said he, as he lands

the great oaken hall door with his
club till it went spinning from its
hinges half way out to the street.
Yes, my health is very bad and I'm
growing weak with the weight of
seventy-fve years." said he as he
yanked mp six foot bronz newell
post and tossed it up to the upper
landing in the hall.
"Young man, say to the boys I'm
on the decline; they'll understand
it," and with a skip he started up
stairs by succession of hands

The repvster drew a long breath
when the sage had disappeared and

he wended Lis way to other scepes.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Citizen
states that the San Pedro valley,
from Benson to the Gila, is being
rapidly settled up; that during the
spring and summer more than fifty
ranches have been taken up and sur
veyed. The Arizoua Central rail
road now in prospect should be
built up through our valley to
Florence, thence east along the ella
to the mouth of the San Pedro, and
up the San Pedro TO Benson. By
this route it would pass through
over more than $50 miles of as fine
farming country as lies out doors,
and also have the additional advan-
tage of the outlying stock country
and mining districts, altogether
section of the country that no local
railroad building north and south
can afford to disregard, and we ap>
prehend that the great trunk lines
will rot long leave this great section
If Afizona unoccupied. -Other Sec
tions of the Territory afford grazing,
mining aud timber lands, bat this
great central portion comb bines these
with the only agricultural section Of
any extent in Arizona, and section,
too, that is uneqaled anywhere for
Its wonderful productive powers. A
railroad from Phoenix opens to our
market the whole southeastern por-
ton of the Territory and northwest>
ern Mexico as Immediate points, and
gives access to the great cities OF the
west and south. Is it not worth our
efforts TO establish this road?

also able to gather up more of the

Hitch Up the Mare.

A man living in Sacramento coun>
ty took an oath twenty years ago,
when Lincoln and Mcclellan were
opposing candidates, that he would
not wear a hat until Democratic
President was elected. In conse>
quence of this VOW he has gone
bare headed ever since, consoling
himself on each defeat that the next
election would bring a Democratic
President. Last Friday one of his
sons was in the city, and on return
ing informed his father of the re-
suit of the Chicago convention. The
news almost paralyzed the old gen-
tleman. He excluimed: what do
you say-Blaine, and Logan, too !?
This is too much. There is no
longer any hope for the old man
Hitch up the old mare-go to the
city and buy your old father hat.
If any one asks yon what's he mat
ter with ne, tell them that the old
man says he has been making a d.
fool of himself for twenty years,
and now he is going to wear q hat
and vote for Blaine. Spirit Of tst

THE CENTRAL PACIFIC.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The Times
says the Central Pacific has suT-
rendered the Mojave division of the
Southern Pacific. This negotia-
tion has relieved the Central Pacific
of its most pressing pecuniary wants
but at an immense cost. 1t gives
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
the right to enter San Francisco
over the Southern Pacific lines on
equal terms with that Company
and this gives the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy, the same privilege; +;
the Central Pacific therefore loses
it's monopoly of the California
trades. The Chicago Burlington
and Quincy now can run from
Chicago to San Francisco.

THE Albuquerque Journal, speak
ing Of a recent article in the Boston
Traveler concerning the late rail-
road changes says:
The article in question said that
they had it from reliable sources
that tie Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe and the st. Louis & San Francis,
co companies had secured a lease of
the Atlantic & Pacific line from
Albuquerque 10 the Needles, and of
the Mohave branch of the Southern
Pacific from the Needles to Mohave,
for the fixed charges of said lines,
meaning thereby the running ex-
penses; said lease to run for term
of SO years. Also, that the same
companies have secured, for the
term, the right and privilege of
running their trains over the line of
the Southern Pacific from Mohave
into San Francisco, for half the
fixed charges of said line.
Thus is created the greatest trans
continental lines in existence. And
through trains will be run from
St. Louis and Kansas City to San
Francisco, and our Atlantic &
Pacific lines steps to the front as
enc of the most important lines of |
the day. This is bound to be the
great and popular through route to
the paclfic coast, as it is the only all |
the year route in existence, and is
pleasant and attractive at all seasons

be long in convincing themselves
tn at the opposition of that sheet to
Blame is the merest drivel- The
articles read as though the writers
either feel that they do not thorough
ly understand why they are opposed
to Blaine or that they are sadly out

The fatness of the articles may,
however, be attributed to the foreign
and English style combined with a
will to do, but want of material to
work up.
] ust at present the Times is labo-
riously toiling to show that Blaine's
American ideas of the dignity and
position of the United States among
nations are not his ideas; that he
never pushed any such ideas; that
he would not push them if elected
President; that he would not hayt
the courage to stand by the doctrine;
attributed to him etc, etc. In fac
the Times is very much concerned
with regard to Mr.. BlaIne's idea!
concerning the dignity and position
