A New Arizona Road.

The Cleveland Plaindealer of May 21st says: The arrangements are progressing for building the Tucson, Globe & Northern railroad. The com pany succeeds the old Arizona Narrow Gauge Company, will construct a standard gauge line from Tucson to Globe, l1O miles, with a twenty-inile branch into the Deer creek coal fields. The bonds are limited to $20, 900 per mile ($2 2,000,000) and stock will be is sued at the same rate. The bonds are ' per cent, first mortgage, gold, and are secured by mortgage to the Amer ican loan and trust company of Bos- ton, which mortgages include a sin, : ing fund provision. The building cf the 130 miles is under contract and and will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. The company has a contract with the Southern Pacific ] for a drawback on all freight inter changed. The Southern Pacific will give the Tucson, Glote 6 Northern 50 cents per ton on all freight which earns the former less than ? cents per ton per mile, and $1 per ton on all freight earnings over ? cents per ton per mile The roads principal traffic will come from the coal fields, which are de- scribed as very rich in fine quality bituminous coal. The copper and sil- yer mining interests of the section also are large. At present the freight in the country is hauled by teams, wagon rates between the Southern Pacific and Globe being $35 per ton for merchan- disc, while $10 per ton is charged for hauling copper.

snreMdness of a Planter.

Negroes are deeply religious in charac- ter. though they maintain @ too rigid separation between religion and morality. There was once planter up the coast, !" whose hocks and herds suffered from the depredations of his colored neighbors. His method of self preservation was unique. He built church which he presented to the negroes upon one condition. This con- dition was announced to the congregation from the pulpit by their minister. It was that so long as nothing was stolen from this planters place so long would the sanctuary remain open, but upon the dis appearance of the first article the church was to be closed. never to be reopened. The plan worked faultlessly. and while other plantations suffered as of old, the originator of this scheme possessed his goods in peace.-New York Post.

Newspapers.
 Milton Eagle1

Too many people labor under the impression that newspapers should Ee par excellence whether they are pat O. nized or not. They expect to see paper full of news, yet they will not contribute farthing to its support. Very often the remark is made: q will give you an 'ad,' or a subscription, to help you along" Newspaper men are not objects of charity and do not labor as such. They give more than value received for all business in the way of advertising they get. Those men who take this charity view of the matter are unmindful that the adver- Using columns of newspaper are the index Of the prosperity of their ol n town or city. A live paper full of bu : mess advertisements is indicative of the welfare of a town, and Is the best apre- sentation that could possibly be made. They attract homeseekers to a locality that would otherwise not come. Capi- talists who are in search of landed in vestments are attracted by them. Of course all advertisements help the newspaper man, as a sale of goods help the business man, but at the same time, it benefits the one who ad- vertises to much greater extent than 1t does the printer Any town can have good paper if it receives proper support. Just so with a bus mess establishment Advertising has done more to enrich men than any thing else in the world. A man who fully understands what newspapers are and what they do, never puts in an advertisement to help the printer along, but does it exclusively to bene- fit himself. It is matter of legiti mate businss, and not one of charity Encourage the business interests O the printer, as he encourages the growth and business interests of youl town, county and state, and live energetic and newsy paper will fol low.

India,s rroons of nronkers

All along this road to this side of An. midabad we saw many troops of monkeys of all sizes. from that of terrier dog up to large setter-now romping over the fields close by the track. or springing from branch to branch on the trees. or sit- ting up on some prominent limb wisely watching us as we whizzed by They are sacred. and the natives never hurt them, although they are fearful thieves and make destructive raids upon fields and orchards. We also saw large numbers of peacocks-noble birds. with tails and plumage of great beauty They, too are sacred A foreigner would be mobbed should he shoot one They. as the mon- keys. are not wild. as travellers books would lead us to suppose. They are free, and roam as they please. but are hardly less tame than the same birds are on an American farm. They are rarely seen far away from villages and faIms.-Carter Harrison in Chicago Mail.

Peculiarities of Composite Photographs.

Peculiarities of Composite Photographs.
 very curious point in composite photo graphs is that almost invariably this con- bined picture is that of better looking person than any of the individuals who have contributed to it. Some of these photographs now lie before us. Here is one which has been taken from nun Der of criminals. and. as we have just indi- cated. the picture is much better favored than the various low browed. coarse mouthed individuals who have contributed to make it up Another picture we may call attention to as being great contrast to the last; this is a group of ten girls who are the members of literary club. The picture is that of bright looking, intellectual girl of about 19 years of age. The face is thoughtful and the shape of the head indicates great intellectual power. The same observations are applicable to another photograph which is before us. to which several scientific men have con- tributed each bis share.-Chambers' Journal

The other day man was walking slowly up Miami avenue and encountered a man walking hurriedly down. They ran into each other, both drew off and apologized, and the one in a hurry added:
 ''Tve been so mad all the morning I couldn't see straight.n
 "Nothing serious, 1 hope"
 "Well, my wife had some photos taken ard the artist made botch job I'm now on my way to punch his head"
 Gan see them?'
 They were exhibited, and after a care1uI inspection the gentleman said:
 My friend, you are way off. The work is well done, and you ought to be proud of your wife's looks"
 ''Do you mean it?'
 Certainly. There are not ten as hand some women ill Detroit"
 ''Shoo!"
 ''It's fact, and tho work is that of a real artist. You should be more than satis- fed.n
 'Well, I declare! I guess I've been too nasty, and I'll drop the matter right here. Glad I didn't punch the photographers head" ''Yes, so am r. said the other to himself as he went his way.

A NOTED HORSE GONE.
Dexter, Once the Worlds Fastest Trotter,
 Has Passed Away

Has Passed Away
 The great Dexter is dead.
 He died recently of old age in the stables, of Robert Bonner, at New York, having lived exactly thirty years. The body was sent by MT. Bonner to Tarrytown to be buried in a choice spot on his farm there. But no stone will mark the spot where Dexter lies. MT. BQnner draws the line in monuments at horses.
 Dexter was foaled in 1858. He was got by Hambletonian out of little black marc by American Star, and she was out of Sharks dam. Dexter was brown gelding of rich color. with four white legs and a blaze in his face. He was fifteen hands and one inch high, long for his inches, deep through the heart and very powerful in his Joins and quarters. His head, neck and eyes were good, and he had capital oblique shoulders, and good legs and feet. He was bred by Jonathan Hawkins, of Montgomery, Orange county, N. Y.
 In 1862 the late MT. George Alley went up to Orange county to look at the colt not then broken. Being fascinated with the appearance of the animal Mr. Alley bought him for $4O0, and sent him to New Rochelle. There he was broken by her owner, and soon after sent to q professional trainer, John Mingo, and afterwards to Hiram Woodruff.
 MT. Woodruff trotted Dexter a mile in 2:42, and soon after in 2:314. Dexter made his first race on May 4, 1864, at the Fash ion course for purse of $100. There were twelve entries and four starters. including Dexter, Stonewall Jackson of New York, fast bay gelding the chestnut mare Lady Collins, and Gen. Grant, brown

 finally established a saddlery business. While so engaged he formed the acquaint- ance of Alvin Adams, who was then about starting an express for the conveyance of letters and small packages between Boston and New York by the Norwich boats and by rail. MT. Adams sent the young man to New York, where he struggled for a year or two in an uphill road, full of hard work. Young Dinsmore was just the one, however, for battle of this kind, and he put his shoulders to the wheel with an energy and steadiness of appli- cation which set the express business going as he desired it. This took him on until 1042.
 MT. Dinsmore was a director in the American Exchange bank and in the Penn sylvania and Erie railroads at the time ot his death. He was also member of sev- eral clubs in this city, among them the Union League and the New York. He was throughout his life one to respond to the deserving need of others, and his charities were large and given with discrimination He was liberal patron of the arts. His collections of paintings, statuary and bric a-brac were large and indicative of 6 trained and true judgment in their sc lacfiOn

On arriving here he was well pleased on finding telegram from New York awaiting him, announcing that he had been awarded the contract to furnish 100000 pounds of beef during the coming fiscal year to the Indians on the San Carlos Agency. The figure at which Mr. Norton is awarded the con tract is a good one. Among other inn portant contracts that this gentleman has secured is one for twelve hundred tons of hay at Fort Grant.

Important to Cattlemen.
[Wilcox Stockman.l

The present rate at which cattle are assessed is exorbitant and should be resisted. The law says that property shall be assessed at its leash value"- that is, what it would bring if put up at sale. We all know that there is no band of cattle in Cochise county that would bring SIP per head, all around, if put at auction to-day, the price at which they are assessed. We have put our cattle in at $S per head, and pro- pose to resist the collection of taxes on them at a higher rate. Will other stocklnen stand in with us? If your assessments have already been made, hasten to file your protests, and give notice that you will resist the collec- ton of taxes at the present rate. Ii stockmen will stand in together and resist the attempted outrageous rate they will be able to effect reduction.

Ths shallow brook

Ths Shallow brook That OCT its pebbles, crawling, runs away, And turns with every break of land or stone, Vexing the air with plaint of heavy burden, While but froth and straws it carries,
 Knows not the deep, still lake so near, That, silent, covers it's unnumbered dead, While on its broad breast to and fro, The thousand ships of commerce go.
 So our lives. The narrow mind, loud voiced o'er pretty things, Knows not the silent souls a-near- Dreams not of depths or heights beyond it's own, Or burdens borne in patient stiffness
