ZuIick on Protection.

Yesterday morning the following tele- gram was sent to Governor Zulick. The sentiment is intended to correspond with that expressed in the governors procla- nation and his telegram to Washing ton.
 TOMBSTONE, A. T., Dec. 3I. To Gov. Zulick, Prescott, A. T.
 Thirteen Indians raided my ranch in Mule mountains, fifteen miles from Tombstone, about dark last night and stole twenty horses Alease send two companies of cavalry to protect these Indians against the white outlaws of Arizona. ROBERT CROUCH.
 alias "SANDY BoB." In the afternoon Mir. Crouch received the following reply from the governor:
 PRESCOTT, A. T., Dec. 3I. Rob't Crouch, Tombstone, A. T.
 All troops here and en route here are to destroy hostile Indians and protect WilltC SCttlClS' kuOW Oi IO WHitC Out laws, and only know of a patient, law abiding people with whom l deeply sympathize and for whose relief the best energies of my nature are given.
 C. MEYER ZULICK. This sounds like the words of the governor who addressed our citizens just after his appointment, and who left Cochise county with the confidence of all and their most earnest prayers for the success of the principles advocated by our new executive. There is yet time for Governor Zulick to redeem the evil and ill feeling hi, proclamation and telegram have caused, and we trust he will yet prove himself the man his friends be- lleved him to be when he received his commission.

An Athletes Diet.

eat, and always have eaten since l was boy, plenty of nourishing, gen. erous food; and I am very wide in my choice, eating as rule any good food that tempts my appetite, and that is hearty enough to be easily tempted. For myself I am not especially fond of what you call made dishes, but prefer food in its plainer forms. For meats, l eat chiefly mutton and beef; and use a good deal of bread, of course being as careful as can to get the best My own idea is, that so long as you have sound, sweet food it doesn't make much difference what kind it is or how much you eat of it. am very particular to eat slowly. 1 eat three times day. Breakfast is light or hearty meal ac- cording to how I feel about it at the same time. Lunch in the middle of the day is always light, and dinner at 6:30 or 7 is the principal meal of the day. always take an hour for that. If haven't an hour to spare at dinner time put off dinner till I have the time. find, though, that aside from meat and bread l must have plenty of vegetables. No man can make any kind of an athlete without eating plenty of vegetables. 1 take all kinds, and pretty much of all fruit too. Fruits are good. A man can't stay without that kind of food. He has no endurance. Yes, I'm Scotch, and believe in oat- meal, but don't think you ought to eat too much of it. I have it at break fast about three times a week. 1 am fond of milk too, and am especially careful to drink it slowly. It is excel lent food, but it is very bad to drink it fast. And it isn't good to take too much liquid at any time, especially at meals. I have habit of always drink ing glass of water when first get up -spring-water if I can get it. l don't exactly know why do it. don't know that it is very good for me. I guess it is because like it. There's no account ing for taste, you know. Tea is my greatest stimulant. I don't drink much coffee, but 1 do take considerable tea black tea always. Inever use green and I take it with sugar and milk, and never take it iced. I don't mean when say it is my greatest stimulant that 1 never take anything stronger. very seldom do, but sometimes, just before a race, for instance, if 1 need it 1 take some brandy-no malt liquor. That's bad, especially lager. Lager is very bad. In trainingp We'll, I make no difference in my diet in training. only try to keep more regular hours, espe- cially in sleeping. And take no physic. Physic is bad always. In training it's fatal Watlace Ross ia tue Cook.

"--a GsI BcaC.''

There was one pathetic incident con- nected with the fight. A man named Clough had served three years in the Eleventh Massachusetts, and had the reputation of being an excellent soldier, favorite with both officers and men, and doing his duty faithfully in all po- sitions. At the expiration of his term he re-enlisted, and was given the cus- tomary furlough of thirty days. When he returned to the regiment his nature seemed to be changed. From a cheer full, companionable man he became a chronic grumbler, and at last was gener- ally recognized as "beat." His old comrades bore his altered disposition for a while, but finally he was let alone with his growlings. His officers at last suspected him of determination to de- sert, and watched him accordingly. When his company started into fight the question would be, Where is CloughP" and he generally had to be hunted up and ordered into the ranks. On this occasion he was severely wound ed, being shot twice. He was brought out on stretcher, which his lieutenant had sent in for him, and while waiting for an ambulance the officer went up to wounded man. With a return of the old-time fire, Clough said, "Lieuten- ant, have l done my dutyP" "Yes, Clough, like man," to which he re- piled with touch of bitterness: "Won- der if the boys are satisfied with the damned old beat now?" The boys crowded around and tried to encourage him, now ashamed of their former chaf- fing, and he smiled faintly and said: "Good-by, boys," as they carried him away. That night the tired, broken body was out of pain, and 'Old Clough" was beyond the praise or blame of hu- man judgment.-Ihe State.

 Jenny was as good as her word. She made quick and close acquaintance with the Andersons,and through the reading of certain cabalistic signs that would have been unintelligible as Sanscrit to me, had discovered that there was "a possibility of success for me-" she thought.
 was surprised and delighted one afternoon to find Mary at my sisters house when went there, and l deter mined to know my fate before she left.
 What a beautiful picture you would !. @ake!" l blmderingly remarked. She kRklshed like a rose, but said nothing. eA sister smiled approvingly and soon after left the room on some pretense. 1 ;Nent over to where Mary was sitting, anu said: "You will, no doubt, despise Athfef and man who goes through the world under false pretenses. But such is the man before you,"
 She looked surprised and shocked at this; but drew from my pocket faded but still fragrant bunch of honeysuckle and held it close to the one she had pinned upon her bosom.
 "A very small theft, and readily for given," she said, smiling.
 ''1hey are mates," I said; ''that is, the fowers-I wish the owners were.''
 The deep color began to run riot in her cheeks now.
 And here," 1 said, ''is the poor sub stitute for the original that 1 have also stolen and kept close to my heart, as a souvenir of you, Mary" producing the picture l had taken from her. And besides," I added, as she made no re- ply, save the silent tell-tale bushes which spoke volumes to my heart; "be- sides, used false pretenses. l did not want any house when 1 inquired with in at your home. It was only you that I wanted; and have gone and made a fool of myself. have got house on my hands, but have no wife to occupy it with me!'
 "But you told mamma that you con- templated marriage" she suggested shyly' fE ,.. . ,o... ,,,, ,,, .,, , had only you in view, Mary: and now if you would only consent to get me out of the scrape it would be all right yet"
 She did not say she would, but when 1 took the little unresisting hand in mine and kissed it tenderly, she put the two bouquets into my hands and I pressed them together: "Mates now, both the flowers and their owners"
 We three w~nt over to Mrs. Anderson about dusk, and 1 said:
 We have decided to move into the cottage as soon as it will be convenient for you
 We" queried the old lady, fixing her grey eyes upon me inquiringly.
 "Yes," replied; q am soon to be married-that is, with your consent" l added hesitatingly.
 What has my consent to do with itp" she asked in surprise.
 "A great deal. It is your daughter
