Richard Barklsy is suggestive in expedients, "when in the course of human events 1t becomes necessary" to exterminate psle-cats. At Pendle- tons ranch, where Mr. Barkley now resides, the oderiferOus cats are nu- merous and nocturnal visitants of that family, and upon a recent visit of one of the switch-tall species, in it's at tempt te enter the mansion it became wedged in an aperture of the sub structure of the house. MT. Barkley seized kerosene can and saturated the neither end of the cat, which was exposed to view, and applied match, and the logs of the building being dry it became apparent te Msssrs. Barkley and Pendleton that unless the fire was quickly extinguished they would nec- essarily suffer during an lnclement winter, and acting upon the sugges tion, the two gentlemen resolved them selves into fire extingulShers and, working with a will, they saved the house and the ashes eff the cremated cat.

ADELUGE OF WATER.

The storm which set in on Friday
 of last week and continued four days
 was the heaviest, at this season, with
 in our recollection. The rainfall fer the tour days was 2.245 inches. The storm seems to have extended all over the Territory. At Yuma, according to the Sentinel, .51 of an inch of rain fell in five minutes. At Camp Thomas a cloud-burst occurred which flooded the streets of Maxey to the depth of a foot and a half. On Salt river be- tween E. Kenton'S house and Wm. Boards the country presented the ap- pearancs of a vast lake. The road between Globe and San Carlos was damaged somewhat and rendered very heavy, and for several days impassa- ble for teams. At one point. two and a half miles west of San Carlos, there was hole at least four feet deep and the read there being narrow, it was up to few days ago for heavy wagons to pass.
 The rain, had it come six weeks earlier, would have been of great bsn- eft to the range, but 1t is now toe late te produce a growth eff grass. However, It has filled the water holes and springs in the foothills where there IS still considerable feed, and will help stock to pull through the winter.

Simon Billing has received returns from shipment of 12O pounds of sil- yer ere from the Weodville mlne, which was sold to the Tucson sam pllng works. The ore assayed 6,60O ounces te the ton, and the value of the shipment was $331.45. The Wood vile has produced considerable rich ore, and largely of ore gong 40 to 50 ounces, which at present can not be utilized, ewing to the expensive meth ods of reduction in vogue here.

The several venires issued for jury men brought great many residents of outlying districts to Globe the pres ent week. We remarked to a man running fer an important efice, that candidates ought to be happy as thsy could interview nearly all the voters in the county without leaving town. He, however, viewed it as of doubtful advantage, asserting that it would be cheaper to hlre a rig and visit rural voters at their homes, and thus avoid 'settin' 'em up" every hour of the day. It had not occurred to us Tn that light. Truly, the life of the candidate is besst with annoyances. The game is hardly worth the candle.

BallOn Retreats.

Licnt. Ballou, who wrote the Sian
daruus letter cDnce rning San Anto'
mo. has publicly retractod IN the same
paper the worst part Of his charges
in a manly way. The Lieutenant has
acted wisely, for he was under mr.
rest, and would have been court
martialed. Az it is he has been re-
leased, and it is more thNn probable
that nothing moro will be heard OF
tho matter.
We clip the above from the San
Antonio Light The "samc paper
it refers 10 is not, as might be sup
posed, Lieut.. Ballou's home paper IN
New York, to which lie wrote his let.
ter, but only the San Antonio Times,
which only of the papers OF that city
published the letter. The Express
and the Light were too discreet
to publish it, knowing that in
the main it was SO full OF truth
that if they published it their
charge of SANDER would fall fiat
Ballou's main charges are not only
VIGOROUSLY true, but actually matter
of record in the courts and the office
of the attorney general OF the State.
Nevertheless it appears from the
above that he WAS put under arrest
and threatened with a court-martlal
in order to coerce him into a quasi
retraction. Clearly it was but an
other manifestation of the despotlc
intolerance of free discussion on the
part of the leading influences OF
San Antonio, one OF the charges
brought by Ballou, Of which corrob-
oratiye evidence WAS thus furnished.
1t appears to hive been dono by in
ducing those high in the U. S. serv
ice to cooperate If this be SO, who
ever they are, or of whntever rank, as
an American citizen, we are heartily
them. The act, by who
ever done or countenancad, would
have done discredit even to Bismarck
After all, the truth remains, and
San Antonio is suffering and will con-
tinuc to suffer in the loss OF tho
better class of immigrants, and in
countless other ways. She cannot
brazen il out in this way. Let her
repent and reform, and in time she
may find favor with good people, but
not before.

Carl Schurz has recently extin-
puished the small remains of his rep
utation by coming out in lecture
eulogistic of the late Emperor of
Germany. Carl came to this country
claiming to be an exile and martyr
because of his republican principles,
and actually got a great deal of credit
as such, to. which his last demonstra-
ton proves he had no just claim. He
now applauds Kaiser William because
he secured German unity. But how
Solely through the iron military des,
potism controlled by Bismarck. Ger
man unity in free confederacy of
States, as the American Union, would
indeed have been a grand consumma
ton. But German unity effected by
turning Germany into military camp
and placing her people under the iron
heel of despotism, is surely not II
thing that any true friend of liberty
or humanity can applaud, much less
exult over. Carl stands self stulti-
fed.
