 A down-east Yankee claims to have invented a portable windmill, which IS propelled about the country by its )wn motive power. That would be the "boss racket" for this country. A line of wells at suitable intervals, could be sunk say from here to the Sonora line.

A Chinese pamphlet against Euro peans has been published in Hong Kong. It asserts that the Europeans are not human beings at all, but wild animals descended from monkeys. They worship neither the heavens nor the earth. They do not honor their parents nor ancestors. They come into China pretending to preach re- ligion which they do not practice themselves, and forcibly introduce vice and crime into that country. Some clever Chinaman must have translated and printed some of the popular literature of San Francisco, merely turning it about little.

 It is claimed that a5o employees of the Southern Pacific railroad voted the straight Republican ticket Tn Pima County. The Star says that not more than one.third of that number were legal voters.
 The Phenix Gazette says that the Republican meeting at Tempe wound up with vcritable Donnybrook among the Mexicans present, and torches began flying in the air. Bro ken torches, broken heads among the participants, and broken hearts of the candidates who had visited that place to inspire harmony, was the result.
 From the Citizen we learn that the body of an unknown man has been found near Sugar Loaf mountain, on the McDow,l and Globe road, with bullett hole through his brest. His body had been mutilated by wild ami mals beyond recognition, but it is sup posed to be that of a prospector seen going in that direction two weeks ago.

Washington, Nov, I7.-The rule governing the disposition of undeliver cd letters sent from hotels, has been heretofore to send them to the dead letter ofice regardless of the printed request to return them to the hotel. This rule was ammended to day by Postmaster General Hatton as follows: Unclaimed letters enclosed in enve. lopes upon which hotel cards are print ed, should not be returned to the mailing office unless such letters have written or printed thereon two words "Return to-" in addition to hotel card. If proprietors of hotels should omit the usual return requisition, envelopes will be supplied their guests and the guests using such envelopes should be careful to designate what disposition should be made of letters sent by them in case they cannot be delivered.

Delaware, Ohio, Is much excited over so-called ghost. The house where the spirit presents itself is in the fashionable part of the town, and is occupied by two respectable fami- lies, who do not believe Tn spiritual ism. Crowds of people visit the house and converse with the ghost, which has loud masculine voice, and is proiane. He declares that he is an imp of the Devil and that his resi- dence is in Hell, and claims that S7o, ,oco was buried under the house years ago. The voice sometimes ap pears to come from the ceiling, al other times under the floor Ghost experts and Cincinnati reporters are endeavoring to solve the mystery, but so far they have met with but poor success.
