ODD OCCURRENCES.

Ar Waterloo, N. Y., on economical man
 and woman recently married had their
 honeymoon trip on Q merry-go-round, at 0
 total expense of only five dollars.
 IN one neighborhood in Dakota lately there
 were only two lucifer matches to go around
 among twelve families, and persons were
 detailed to build fires and keep them alive
 night and day until supply could be had.
 AS result of movement started by
 some fun-loving youths, every man in Syl-
 vania, Ga., now wears his hair closely clipped and no whiskers or mustache. Those who wouldn't agree to shave were forced into barber's chairs and made to sub init to the operation.
 FOR twenty-eight years resident of
 Silver Creek, Mich, has owned two mares
 which were half-sisters and were marked
 just alike. They were both killed recently
 by the same stroke of lightning, and after
 their twenty-eight years of service together rested in the same grave.
 A MAN who went to pick berries near. Bear Lake, Pa., the other day was found
 some hours later lying on the grass uncon-
 sciops, with @ huge rattlesnake fastened
 to his trousers. The snake was killed and
 the man revived with cold water. He had not been bitten, yet he was affected just as if he had been until his finders talked him out WHILE at Ash Hill, 13O miles out on the desert from Daggett, Cal, conductor saw pigeon flying around as though hunting for water. He tried several times to catch it, but when close the bird would fly away Having small rife along, he crippled one wing, when he discovered that 1t was a carrier pigeon, bearing love letter in 8 goose quill tied to the right wing, dated New York and directed to young lady in San Francisco.
 LATH COUNTY, l. T., comes to the front with an ice mine. The discovery was made in Pine Creek Canyon, 2,00O feet above the sea. A chilling current of air coming from the direction of bed of moss was the first thing that attracted the attention of 8 party of geQlogists to it. They removed the moss | and discoverd vein of ice i've hundred feet long and from four to six inches thick. The several layers of powders, debris and ice alternated to depth of forty feet. The geologists think this formation belongs to ! the glacial period.
 NEAR Jackson, Mich, Is said to be 8 lake l of hair-dye. A doctor who went there and l remained three weeks tells of the mar. vicious effect it's waters had upon him. When he went there his hair was as white as Q ! badger, but he washed his head several times day at certain place in tho lake ! and his hair commenced to turn black and is now as black as ravens wing. A red l haired Jackson girl had her locks turned
 black by the same process. A company has
 been secretly formed to buy the right tc
 use the lake, build hotel and start a resort for red headed girls and white haired men, but the particular point on the lake | where the water is taken which makes this wonderful change in one's hirsute is kept z secret

HE HEwED TOO CLOSELY.

WlGu every usty tLiI passes SluCe tne removal of Corporal Tanner from the pension bureau comes cumulative evil dence that he has been victim of his own faith in the truth of republican pro- the line of what President Harrison him. self and those who spoke for the repub- ican party repeatedly promised as the result of republican success. That Tan ner himself has now been convinced that his party "kept the word of promise to the ear to break it to the hope" is made clear in letter which he recently sent to a friend in reply to some "hearty words of sympathy" and in which he said
 l endeavOred as commissioner to reig- iously carry out the promises made on the platform, and the utmost they can prove against me with any shadow of success is that was too liberal and the truth of that charge depends upon the appreciation of the man who, as my off, cial superior, judges the action taken. It is very evident that the honorable secretary thought that was too liberal; and as he was secretary and l only commissioner, of course l went under.
 It is quite evident that Tanners politi- cal experience has been thrown away on him. For a man who has associated so long with republican leaders, who has seen so many platforms built to tickle the partisan ear and bridge a temporary emergency, who has seen so many campaign promises scattered like chaff on the winds of heaven when election emergencies have passed, who has him. self worked the promise racket for all it was worth on so many occasions, Corporal Tanner has shown himself a very dolt in the pension bureau. He forgot that republican promises are made to be broken, that they must be tomato sauce with the widow. Of course Corporal Tanner did not believe in the tariff bugaboo that the republican lea ders set up during the campaign; he took no stock in the free trade man of straw that the republican organs and platform shouters set up to pelt with protection brickbats. He knew better than this Then why did he set so much store by the promises of the republican platform and the party leaders with regard to pensions? Clearly because his hear1 was with the old soldiers the men whose votes had saved the re publican party 'full many a time ant oft," and he did not believe that tn, party had any right to play with tn, feelings of these men. Had he take1 pension promises with as many grain of salt as he did the tariff bluff he would not now find himself groping abou ''outside the breastworks" where hi good friend Warner Miller lies bleedin, and sore, wandering in the politica gloaming and seeking for some politica husk which old soldier Harrison may b. pleased to throw him as we throw an ol, dog bone. Tanners sin was in believ ing that Harrison and the republican party meant what they said when the, bade him to be ''liberal with the boys and made mince meat of the treasur, surplus.
 He hewed altogether too closely for man who had "been there before man, a time."

Fire Alarm.

Notes From ST Jobus

ST. JOINS, Arizona, Nov. 18th
1889. Correspondence Of the DEs
EREr NEwsl.-The weather here /.
beautiful, and the farmers are busy
preparing for another seed time.
We expect to increase our water
supply very materially for the CON-
ing season. The Irrigation company
are now raising the levee at The
reservoir, and intend 10 construct n
new canal to empty the water into
the reservoir some seven feet higher
than at present. When this is done
I will nearly double our supply
from that source.
The health Of the people generally
Is good. The smallpox scare seems
to have quoted down.
Business Is about as usual: the
people seem encouraged.
FOR about two years il has been
almost impossible to get Ium-
Der here at all, and the growth
Of the place has been considerably
retarded on that account. However.
through the earnest endeavors Of
some Of our leading men a new
steam saw mill viii soon be in opera
ton.
Our people are not asleep regard
ing educational interests. The ST.
Johns Stake Academy with FL
der j. w. Brown as principal, has
an enrolment Of over forty; ST.
Johns public school, under my own
assisted by Mrs. Bessie
Franks and Mrs. :. F. Haywood,
has an enrolment Of over two
hundred. Both schools are doing
good work and giving general satis- |
action. SAMUEL. ID. MOORE.
