The Freaks of Q COMPASS.

A strange phase of the mystery OF the
mariners compass, says the Toronto Nail
was made manifest on the occasion of q
recent cruise OF the Cygnet. The yacht left
here for a run across the lake to Niagara,
Everything was fair and smiling. A large
party Of jolly people was on board, who
enjoyed the trip greatly. The gallant com
mander was keeping a careful eye to his
bearings. as he Was DESTROYS of making a
quick trip, but despite this care it was
found when they came within hail of land
that they were seven miles out of their
course, having come out opposite Wilson,
New York. The commander was greatly
troubled. 1t was decidedly a refec-
ton on his ~seamanship, and he
was exceedingly annoyed. He re-
garded the compass suspiciously and care.
fully examined it's surroundings, but could
discover nothing that would account any
vagaries on its part. While he was stand
ing gazing gloOmily at the tremulous needle

looked up and found that a stout member
OF the party had in the meantime ap-
preached. As he went by the cratic needle

he stopped at the bow the needle pointed
straight at him: A series OF experiments
were then instituted, and it was found

could account for it until at
last the disturbing element ackno.l-
edged that he had been INDUCING
in the wild delights OF an iron tonic for
weeks back, and he was afraid that
his system had become permeated with the
metal. This explanation was accepted by
all and the Secretary was requested to
communicate the facts to the Philosophi.

AN EQUINE VISITOR.
A Horse Pays a Visit to a Crockery
Store and Creates q Rumpus.

The history of the famous 'bull in a
china shop" was repeated yesterday after
DON in Butte, but this time it was q horse
instead OF a bull. About 6 o'clock a team
belonging to Schmidt e. Gamer, of the Gen.
tennial Brewery, was driven by Ed. Muir
ply, the driver. to a watering trough at
the corner of Main and Galena streets.
The check rein OF each animal was loosened
to enable them to drink, but one of the
horses not taking the water freely another
gentleman employed by the same firm, who
was there at the time, took the bride from
the horse to enable it to drink without the
bit in it's mouth. The horse feeling itself
free from the restraint OF the bit, started
to run, carrying the other animal with it.
The team dashed up Main street and turned
into West Park. The driver, finding that
he could not manage the animals, jumped
from the team to save himself. When the
team reached in front of Pinkham's store
it collided with a hydrant, o%yerturning it.
The horses were loosened from the wagon, |
when one OF them dashed up the street,
and the other ran into the croCkery store
OF Mr.. Rose Perkins. 1t ran down the
right passageway of the store a distance OF
about thirty feet. between bolts OF cloth
on one side and tin and crockery ware OF 4
the other, until it reached the back door, |
which it ran against. beaking one of the |
panels. The horse was about to renew it's |
inspection Of the store when Mr.. Perkins, |
who had followed the animal into the
store from the street, grasped it by the
harness and escorted it to the street.
In its journey down tine passage-way of
the store-which is not more than three |
feet wide, the horse sent dishes and pans,
tin plates and lamps flying about tho store.
The risht-hand side OF the prssage.way,
down which the horse ran, is stocked the
entire distance with all kinds OF crockery
ware. The most wonderful part OF the
affair is the slight damage done to the
in the store-Mr. Perkins comput-
it at about S35-and seems hardly within
the bounds of reason.
The wagon was damaged to the extent Of
about $50.
Murphy, the driver, was arrested for
but it is thought probable
that he was not to blame in the matter.
The firm will pay Mr.. Perkins for the
damage done, and in all fairness should
purchase for their horse a plug hat and q
for his attempt to shake off his equine
habits and become a dude.

N the HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Sexton Makes an Exhaustive Speech
on Irish Affairs and Sc0rches
the Majority.
GladstOne's New Work in Which He
Satisfactorily Explains His
Position.
Enthusiastic Reception Of Prince Alex
ander in the Town Of LENT
berg, Germany.

LONDON, August 27.-In the House o
Commons Sexton challenged Lord Randolph
Churchill to deny that the land purchas,
Chamberlain, he continued was master o.
the useful art of suppressing any part Of
his case which did not serve his purpose
Such practich was not calculated to give q
politician a permanent advantage in the
eyes Of the English gentlemen, the British
Government. being partly answerable for
the wrong doing OF Irish landlords. Mr..
Gladstone had made the landlords the
most brilliant offer they ever had,
When that offer wal spurned and used to
bring discredit upon that officer, there
was no obligation in order to renew it. If
there were am more talk about honor, Mr..
Gladstone. could doubtless say as Lady
Teasle' said to Charles Surface" Had
we not better leave honor out of the ques-
ton" (Laughter.] Certainly Mr.. Glad
stone would never make Chamberlain
iu0ge or custodian of his honor.
Mr.. Sexton believed that the Liberals Of
the future would be a party to the plumber
iEg of Ireland. Gladstone's land purchase
scheme was secured by every penny
Of the public revenue Of Ireland.
This was a security of f7, OOO, 900
yearly to cover an income of 100000 600
A truce would have resulted from the adop-
ton of that policy. and no unnatural COM
bination OF intriguing of politicians could
long delay that union. The appointing of
Gen. Butler would not promote euch union
but would give Ireland the character of a
country. Chamberlain, despite the
thu n@-.1tSon ~ Trn01~1 ~,,1n no-k4-% -
wait as long as the government wished. If
had lived in the time of Nero
he would have played second fiddle while
Rome was burning. [Great ~laughter].
he said that the pro-
posed commission would be pro-
of no benefit and would only
delay dealing with the pressing questions.
The policy of Chamberlain was to oppose
any amendment which could act as q vote
OF censure against the Government, while
Lord Randolph C%hurchill's policy was to
draw bills en- the future which he did not
intend to honor. [Cheers.] In conclu-
sion, Sexton said TINT the Parnellites
would counsel Irishmen to stand by each
other and not be intimids ted by fear OF
combinations. They would remind Irish
mote peace bet y the two countries was
supported by a million and a quarter of
people, and that the majority |
against it consisted of votes only, not OF
men. They would do everything possible |
in fairness and justice to promote peace,
but they could not make themselves trait
ors by asking the people, during the coming
to pauperize themselves in order to
arguments to their ruin. Cheers.
Sexton spoke nearly two hours.
Chamberlain entered the House shortly |
after Sexton commenced, and remained
until he had finished.

A Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon, shortly after
O'Clock. a team of black horses attached
to a light delivery wagon belonging to
Gallick & Company, were hitched to a post
in front OF Lammerhart's butcher shop, on
East Broadway. Becoming frightened, the
team snapped the hitching strap and ran
away. They turned the corner OF Broad.
way into Main and dashed down the street.
At the corner of Main and Galena streets
they coll!ded with an electric light pole'
stopping them and throwing the horses to
the ground. The team vas smashed in
many places. but Mr.. Gallick estimates his
loss at but $25. The horses, one of which
was at first thought to beseriously injured.
are said to be unhurt.

v FROM DEATH.
Ndlle. Zoe Falls From the Trapez
Twenty-Five Feet to the Floor.

Last night, a little after IL O'Clock,
Mdlle. Zoe, the world-renowned gymnast
and trapeze performer, who is under a
short engagement at the Theater Comique,
fell from the rings in which she was per-
forming, to the floor, a distance of nearly
twenty-five feet. Mdlle. Zoe is a dashing,
daring performer and frequently makes
lightning changes in mid air with nothing
apparently to support her in her perilous
positions. she seemingly depending alto
gether on her marvellous quickness of
movement for her safety. But from
some cause not even explainable by the
lady herself she missed The ring at which
she caught whenin one OF her most daring
acts and
FELL HEADLONG TO THE FLooR.
Fortunately for the young lady, the
chairs in the auditorium Immediately be-
meath the apparatus above were not occu-
pied and had been displaced, leaving an
unusual opening between them at that
place. As she was falling, and when near
the floor, Charlie Donavin, one OF the actors
at the place. who had hold of the rope on
which the lady ascends to the RIGGS, caught
and turned her just enough to prepent her
from falling across the top of chair. This
slight turn doubtless saved the life of
THE DARING GYMNAsT,
for instead of breaking her back across the
upright chair, she fell fiat upon the floor.
None OF her limbs were broken. DR.. Bacon
was Immediately called. and the lady
placed in a chair and conveyed to her
room. An examination of her injuries
showed that her spine was injured, the
bridge OF her nose broken, a deep cut
under her right eye, and that she was 9th
erwise severely bruised and terribly shaken
up. This is the second time Mdlle. Zoe has
fallen from the trapez. but as there is a
romano connected with it. that thrilling
experience of the young lady will be left for
a future article. At last accounts she was
resting comparatively easy. The full OK.
tent of her injuries cannot be ascertained
at present, as there may be internal in
juries which are not yet apparent.

An Entirely Fresh Start.

A Saco man who was addicted to strong
drink had worn his wife's patience entirely
out, and the much abused woman decided
to apply for a divorce. Her husband, who
could but acqueisce in the justice of the de
cision, and perhaps wishing to begin his
career as a single man with a reputation
for amiabiity, hired a team to carry her
to Alfred and hunted up a friend to give
the needed testimony to his bad character
as a husband. The divorce was decreed
and with a bill in her pocket the lady came
down stairs to meet her e1-husband, who
had waited on the doorstep SO al to i'm
prove the first opportunity to try to
again pop the question. So much devotion
o the lady's heart, and she at once
agreed to the proposal to try it again. All
this happened half a dozen years Ego and
the pair are yet enjoying the felicity of
their second honeYmnnn.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Hon. John G. Campbell, of the firm of Campbell & Baker, the largest cattle owners of Yavapai county, fur nished the County Assessor with a sworn statement of the number of cattle owned by them. In the lace of this the Assessor entered on hls roll double the number of cattle as sworn to by MT. Campbell. The matter was argued before the Board ot Supervisors, by able counsel, and the Board decided that the return of the Assessor must stand. MeSsrs. Camp bell & Baker have refused to submit 10 this arbitrary action, and will, it is said, appeal the case to the courts for final decision.
 This is matter which directly in terests every tax payer in the county, and the result will be looked for with anxiety by all owners of persona l property. There has always been an irrepressible conflict between the As sessor and the tax payers and it is high time that the powers of the one and the rights of the other were de- tinitely settled.

Murder Most Foul.

Barney Martin, with his family, left Weaver nearly month ago for Mari. copa, intending to be absent about a week. As time passed and nothing was heard from him, the most serious apprehensions were felt for his fate and that of his family, especially as he had made no secret of having about S4, 900 in gold in his possession. On Saturday last, Patrick Ford, the Public Administrator, left Prescott to take charge of the store containing several hundred dollars worth of goods and other effects.
 Or Monday telegram was received from J H. Hamilton, of Antelope, stating that the remains of the entire family had been found near Black Tanks. They had been murdered and their bodies burned. One of the three horses he bad with him Was found with his throat cut, and the other two were missing.
 The horrible news was confirmed on Wednesday last, by a telegram from Sheriff Broadway, of Maricopa county, to Sheriff Mulvenon, at Pres colt, and the latter started at once for the scene of the tragedy. At least twenty days have elapsed since the crime was committed, and there is but little hope now of tracing out the murderers.
 The following rewards have been offered: Sl 1000 by the Territory; $500 for the principal and Ss5o each for by Maricopa county; and ss5o for the arrest and conviction of each and every one of the murderers, by Yavapai county.
 Two men were seen by travellers suspicionsly watching the movement ot Barney Martin and his family near where they were murdered. There is not in the whole history ofArizona a parallel to this fendish outrage by civilized beings, and it is sincerely hoped that the perpetrators will be discovered and justice meted out to them, If such be possible.

At last accounts everything was quiet at Fl Paso. The sentence of Cutting to one years imprisonment and a fine of 5000, has created intense excitement on both sides of the line and war is strongly advocat ed by the the press and people, but no overt acts have been committed as yet. On Thursday, Cutting was taken before the court at Fl Paso del Norte and informed that his appeal would be tried before the Supreme Court of Chihuahua, and was asked if he de- sired counsel. He replied that he did not recognize the jurisdiction of any court in Mexico in his case, and he was taken back to prison.
