briefly told. A company of emiorants
had camped in New Mexico, and one
night one of the party, who was sleep
ing on the ground, was awakened by
peculiar sensation on his toes. He
looked and saw 4 monstrous centipede
crawling across his foot Only a few
feet from him was the campfire. and
he could see every fibre of the REPTILE.
Knowing its peculiarities and the eject
of its sting. he, too, was in a lever of
excitement. Afraid to move a muscle
he dared not attempt to shake it of.
After a seconds pedse he reached I'M
der his head, got his pistol, and, taking
deliberate aim, fired. 1t was life
saving shot for the man; the centjpede
divided and dropped in two parts on
either side of his foot. But here comes
the most remarkable part of the story.
Within an hour after the shot was fired
the men heard a terrible groaning from
one Of their mules picketed only a few
yards away. They went to them and
found one of them with his left fore leo
swollen to an enormous size. The
swelling increased as did the agony
and groans of the brute, until it died in
about thirty minutes thereafter An
examination was made, and it was dis
covered that the bullet which had sew
cred the centipede had entered the
mules foot Just above the hoof, and in
oculated it with the poison from the
reptile.
The person who related the above
incident bears splendid reputation
for truth and yeracity, and he empha-
sized that it was a true story, but his
audience, nevertheless, gave him a look
OF suspicion. ut may be true" said
one, "but I'll be blamed if III believe
it. "-LoujSUHic COurier-Jou1na.

Linen Cuffs and Collars.

The popularity of the tailor-made
suit has revived the prestige of linen
cuffs and collars; they are necessary to
its completion. All eloth suits are now
finished with a straight standing collar
or band, braided or finished to match
the bodice, and showing Just a line of
white above its edge. The sleeves are
narrow at the wrists, and match the
collar in finish, the cuffs being narrow
and not more than half the depth of
those formerly used These narrow
styles are known as Jersey" cuffs,
and are intended for narrow, close-6t-
ting coat sleeves; but they can be
turned or reversed, for wear at both
ends, each end having button-holes.
The long gloves are not u satisfactory
substitute for cuffs, partly because one
does not wear gloves indoors, and the
bare extent of the wrist, or lower arm,
revealed by the shortened sleeves, is
not neat or becoming. Sleeve-buttons
are small and flat, plain pearl being as
good rs any, and collar-button is es-
sential; but some ladies prefer that
both should be of plain Furnished or
frosted gold. Both cuffs and collars
are perfectly straight in form and of
fine double linen simply stitched on the
edge. The turned-down corners and
embroidered finish have almost disap-
peared from the styles approved by the
best authorities. DemoresfS Monthly.

The Centipede's Bite.

"A few days ago Lucien Alexander re-
ceWed, from a friend in Arkansas, Il
specimen Of that yenomous animal, the
centipedc. Mr. Alexander placed the
articuato in a jar of alcohol and has it
on exhibition at his store. Almost
every one who has becn attracted by
it has related remarkable incidents
about its family. The centipede is said
to be one of the most poisonous reptiles
in existence 1t is claimed that its
sting is sure death, and an antidote for
its poison is among the undiscovered
wonders of the world
One of the stories related of this spe-
cies is that of an cN-soIdier lie says
that when among the Ozark mountains
companion felt one of them crawling
up his lee, lie knew its sting was sud
den and fatal, but the yarmint was on
him. What must he do to be saved
was the question. He knew it would
be impossible to shake it off, because
at the least disturbance il would plant
its tangs into his flesh He felt it crawl
ing. and as it came higher ana higher
ON his limbthe perspjratiou boiled from
every pore of his body Every moment
was one OF agony, and he began to re-
alize that his life hung ON slender
thread, Finally an idea suggested
itself. lie dealt the ceutipedoa terrific
blow, killing it; but of course az the
first touch its tangs We're inserted in his
flesh. Almost instantly he disrobed,
and with a common pocket knife made
an incisiou around the affected part
and removed about a pound of flesh,
This was twenty years ago, and the
man carries an ugly scar to this day;
but to that scar he owes his life

THE LIsR STOCK INTEREST IN ARIZONA
 RTRaaG tSsa.


 Pbe approaching year promises to be an eventful one in the history of tho live stock industry in Arizona in a two fold sense. First, that of impor- tation of stock cattle into the Territo. ", and second, the shipment of beef cattle from the Territory to outside markets. The importation Of stock cattle during 1886 will without doubt be the largest ever known, Already the advance guard ofincomlng herds is reported on the New Mexican line in the shape of 50,000, head of Texas cattle awaiting the coming of frost to begin the march westward. That this number will be increased many fold cannot Do doubted, as reliable re- ports from Mexico and Texas recently received tell of large bands already eu route or preparing to start, while large portion of the stock expelled by federal authority from the Indian Territory may be easily expected to find grazing grounds within this Terri. tory While the shipments of beef cattle to CalIfolnla and Eastern mar ketS will be made on scale never be- fore equaled, it is an open question whether, even with the dimuntion of our present grazing stock, overstock- ing will not result unless some scheme is matnred and executed of utilizing the large grazing tracts, at present worthless on account of lack of water by either piping 8 supply of that ar- ticle to them or by sinking artesian wells. The present season has demon strated, to the satisfaction of all, that the danger of overstocking are most imminent, and while some of the most sanguine may draw fresh cour- age to regard such dangers from the seasons unusual dryness, yet the knowledge that any further season is hable to similar drouth, must warn us to prepare forit by taking such steps as will suffice to ensure our interests against it when occur it does, Stock men having already ranges of their own should be sufficiently acquainted with their resources to know exactly what amount of stock their water will maintain, and should endeavor to re- alizo the most out of it by improving theiv stock rather than increasing it, and also by finding 6 market as soon as possible for the saleable surplus Hoof and Horn.

Gen. Sheridan in bis annual report shows himself to be ignorant of tho situation in southeastern Ali. zona and south-western New Mexico, concerning tho raiding Chuicahuas and the operations of the army flo has evidently taken his cue from Gen. Crook, wlein he comments for 'the admirable disposition of his troops and steady perseverance, unaef dis heartening circumstances, Gerer- ai Sheridan further says that Gen- eral Crook is tho best man we have, to deal with the Inaians. Talk ing Sheridan's opinion as Q standpoint by which to judge of the efficiency of the army, 1t will naturally beinquired why it is that the government is snp- porting men that arc rendering no service whatever. Crook is an admit ted failure, He has been pursuing a small band of Cbiacahuas with a host of troops for six months and four days without having checked them in their murderous career. We know that Sheridan's estimate of the army IS not correct, that he is not justified iu placing Crook aS it's best man.

There has been very little news oF Indians during the past week. On Wednesday Captain Kendall, with his company, was at Lake Valley follow ing d party of ten hostiles, who were heading toward the Black Range. A small party of Indians were reported from Sapello on Saturday. They had killed 8 couple of Ailman's cattle and had stolen a span of mules and a horse belonging to Clark. Later on, the mules were recovered and the horse was found dead, having been lauced.
 Dan Tucker, formerly deputy sheriff here, and a partner were prospecting last Tuesday few miles from Deming, near Zuni siding, when small party of Indians suddenly came on them. Tucker and his partner had no arms except six-shooters, and they were driving buggy or blackboard. They drove as hard as they could until they came to the siding, where a box car was standing, into which they climb. ed. The Indians kept them there for some time, riding around the car, but keeping carefully out of shot. Seeing that they would be unable to do their intended victims any harm So long as they choose to remain in the car, they finally rode of, and Tucker and his companion made their escape to Dem- ing.
 District Court opened at Hlllsboro, N. A., under peculiar auspices. Signs showed that on Monday morning, about the time sheriff Murphy was formally announcing the court to be in session, Nathes, Mangus and a con- siderable band of thetr dusky follow CTS were oucamped on the summit of the Black Range, to tho east of us, quietly observing the movements of our people here.
 The streets of town were throng. cd with people in attendance upon court, little knots of men were gath cred here and there about town, and there was all that hustle and activity usually incident to the opening of q term of court. From their point of vantage the Indians doubtless saw all this and accepted the unusual stir as evidence of the demorali2ation caused by their raids in tho valleys below. That there was much of this result cannot Dc denied. Jurors failed to como in because they could not leave their own ranches defenseless or be- cause, from the towns, they had gone to the rescue of their beleagured friends, Approaching the trying na- ture of tho situation, the court, in all cases, accepted the excuses tendered, and proceeded to fll the panel as best 1t might But, even after the juries had been filled, the air was full of ru. mors, and members of the two bodies to the number of ten or twelve were compelled to ask for discharge in or- der that they might % to tho defense of their families.
