WON BY A BIRD.
How q MOcking- Bird Was Made to Testif,
in Lawsuit.


in a Lawsuit.
A well-known gentleman of Savan-
nah tells this story: Il notice an in
teresting account how dog was made
to testify in a case in which he was
claimed by a soldier who had at one
time been in the English army in
India. According to the account the
soldier said that if the dog did not
understand the Hindustani language
he would not claim him, but if he did
he would consider the dog belonged
to hin. When the case was called in
court. the soldier spoke something in
the Hindu tongue. and the dog i'm
mediately recognized him, and, run
ming through the crowd, jumped into
the with ess-boX and fawned on the
soldier"
Mr. Lincoln said that this was a
similar case to one which occurred in
Savannah many years ago, before
steamships went to that port A gen.
tleman owned a very valuable mock
ing bird, of which he thought
a good deal. The bird was
stolen. The gentleman was very much
put out over it, and hunted every
where to recover it. He heard of a
visitor from the North who had pur-
chased a hooking bird, and was about
to leave the port on sailing vessel.
The gentleman concluded that he
would go down to the vessel to see if
the bird was not his. Upon reaching
the vessel, sure enough, he found a
man with a hooking bird which he at
once recognized as the one which he
lost. He told the visitor that the bird
belonged to him. and the visitor asked
how he could recognize the bird from
any other, and was unwilling to give
it up until some evidence had been
given of ownership.
The Savannahian finally said that he
would make complaint before a mag
istrate, and if he did not prove by the
bird itself he would not make any fur
Their claim to it. So together they
went before Magistrate Railford,

in q little building where the

the bird said that he would prove that
the hooking bird was his by the bird
itself. The magistrate was somewhat
surprised, and asked: "How are you

She is Waiting.

She is waiting in the darkness, she is waiting in the door, and she hears the sad sea moaning as it beats the sandy shore; and she hears the night bird crying, and the wailing of the trees, and upon her fevered forehead gently blows the southern breeze; but in vain she stands and listens for the coming of the one, who to her is prince and hero, who is brighter than the sun. Close the door, oh weeping lady, close the door and weep alone, to the signing of the branches, to the oceans solemn moan; to the scream ing of the night bird, to the sobbing of the rain, as it falls like tears from heaven, plashing on the window pane. Let your eyes this night be rivers, and your hair mourning veil, let your soul float out to heaven in wild de spairing vail; for the footsteps of your hero do not echo on the shore, and to- night you'll never see him though you're waiting by the door; and you will not hear the music of the voice you love so we'll, you will only hear the moaning of the oceans restless swell Close the door, oh weeping lally, look no more fos him you love |

The Inaction Explained.

A letter from an influential gentle man at Washington, thoroughly con versant with the affairs of the San Carlos reservation, gives us an insight into the disagreement among those late in authority at Washington and officers of the army high in command, in regard to the best policy to pursue in the management of the Indians now quartered on the San Carlos reserva- ton. The change of administration makes it admissible for publication and we reproduce that part of the let ter verbatim. It is not unlikely that the new administration, being essen tially Western in its composition, will be free from the taint of that sickly sentimentality1 the East which oper- ates to shielts the Indian criminal from the just penalty of his misdeeds, and ignores the rights of citizens. Following is the extract from the let ter referred to:
 Sheridan before his death opposed Miles in everything. Miles has, as you know, often recommended that the reservation be reduced and the various tribes sent back to their old haunts, especially the Tontos and those taken from the Colorado. Sheri- dan opposed it and succeeded, with the aid of President Cleveland and the Secretary of the Interior. Schofield is desirous of carrying out Miles pol icy. The Commissioner of Indian | Affairs is of the same opinion. The Secretary of War agrees with Miles and Schofeld. The President has pleasant memories of Sheridan, and Villas hotly opposes Miles ana the Secretary of War. Schoield flatly puts his foot down on any improve ment of San Carlos reservation, or the building of any Post on it until the reservation and the disturbing ele ments removed. He has great weight with the Secretary of War and I feal will defeat your proposed Post build ing."-Silver Belt.

ROTTEN PORK.
A Horrible Thought for the ContenpIa
 ton of Pork Eaters.

Reader, have you eaten any pork during the past ten days? If you have you will find sufficient meat in this article to satisfy your cravings for year to come.
 Hogs, dying from cholera, have been up till this morning, killed and dress ed and sold to consumers in all parts of the city. The story of this out rageous transaction was related to Prospector reporter this morning.
 Bauer has a slaughter house just below town where large number of hogs are fattened on the offal from the beef killed each day. The Mayor re- ceived notice yesterday from a man who had passed there several times that hogs were being killed there that were not able to stand up, and that many were lying dead and others dy- ing. The Mayor at once took team and accompanied by Dick Gage went to the slaughter house and found it but too true. Thirteen dead hogs lay l on the ground, six more were swollen up to twice their natural size and un- able to stand, while the balance of them were staggering around waiting for the butchers knife Not believ- ing that anyone would be guilty of killing such offensive stuff as diseased pork when knowing it to be so, the Mayor determined to investigate the matter before taking further steps. He inquired at Cummings market to learn whether he had purchased any pork of Bauer. Cummings answered that he had not, but that Bauer's man had been to him endeavoring to sell to him dressed hogs, saying that they were all dying.
 MT. Thomas then ordered hog through Cummings, and the latter told Bauer's man to deliver him one hog, and the parody on pork now hangs in his market. To be certain that the hogs were killed from the di seased band, two men were sent tc witness the killing. To discover how far the disposal of the meat had beer carried on, our reporter visited the shops of Tribolet Bros q have no handled any pork" said Mir. Tribole for the past week, as my hogs are al infected with cholera.
 Cummings was not handling any except little from the Huachucs mountains.
 This development in the meat sup ply of Tombstone should stimulat, our legislators to pass the local mea inspection bill and relieve the unsus pecting citizens of the necessity o calling in doctor to pass on thei health after eating a mess of pork ant beans.
 LATER-Sheriff Slaughter and tn district attorney visited the slaughte house last night where the disease, pork was said to be-. They found tn facts to be as above stated and fount 5 the two hogs just killed hanging III ready for market Orders were issuet to the owners not to dispose of an, more of the pork, and it is further as certained that warrants will be issue for the arrest of the parties guilty c
 this crime against deceney and hu
 manity.-Tonlbstone Prespector.

The San Francisco Bulletin Is dis posed to credit the report that Hunt ingtOn and Gould have secured con trol of the Santa Fe system. It does not believe that the Southern Pacific would absorb and manage the Santa Fe, but that it would be joined to the Missouri Pacific system. But these rumors are all mere guess-work, as the annual election of the Santa Fe is not held until May, and until that time there can be no change in its management The strong probability is that Gould and Huntington have not secured a majority of the stock. The Bulletin says:
 "A union of management with the Missouri Pacific is regarded as much more likely. Such a union would form system over IA, 600 miles long. The Santa Fe's present mileage is 7530 miles, and the Missouri Pacific's 7115. The latter, although perhaps not generally known, is the third long est system in the United States, only the Santa Fe and Pennsylvania ex- ceeding it. Such combination ol roads would largely control the traffic of the Centrally states. The fact that Jay Gould is interested ir the Pacific Mail company, his son George Gould, being president of the line, is censideredi all argument sus' ftaining the belief d4ff the reported com bination.

The New York Herald comments the action of the Arizona legislature in its enactment Of the law punishing train robbery with death.
 The Herald publishes two columns on the various train robberies in diff ferent states and territories during the year, and says editorially:
 "If you wonder at the legislature of Arizona passing law making death the penalty of robbery, read in another column the startling review of these crimes that have recently been com mitted III various states.
 Such lawless desperadoes are no bet ter than murderers. They are as ready to take life as they are to take money. When they waylay 8 train every passenger is at their mercy.
 In sparsely settled regions of the far west the danger especially calls for summary treatment. The example oi Arizona might be followed in other territories and states without popular disapproval.

 Mrs. Minute, of Newark, N. J., who was bitten by arabia dog, immediate ly left for Paris and was treated and cured by Pasteur.. She thus described the treatment:
 The poison derived from the brain of:a rabid dog and filtered through a series of rabbits until it is fit for inoc- -ulating the human being is a admins tered hypodernieaily in the abdomen Mrs. Minute was inoculated thirty times-ffteen upon either side-dur- ing period of twenty days. She de scribed her sensations at first as those of being punctured with a red-hot needle. For half hour afterward no results appeared. She went back to her hotel and, by the doctors orders, went to bed. Presently fire seemed to course through all her veins, as if her blood were boiling. The symptoms were repeated with diminishing force for nine days of the four weeks she continued under treatment After the expiration of the nine days she did not feel the slightest inconven- fence from the inoculations.

Profits in Mining.

The Engineering and Mining Jour nal, in its annual review of mining, has some very interesting statistics concerning the proitableness of our mining industries. It remarks that many of the most profitable mines, owned either by individuals or close corporations, make no returns what ever of dividends, and, therefore, the public possesses only an inadequate idea of the profits derived from this source; yet those of sixty-four mines exceed thirteen millions of dollars during last year. The fact may also be added that these sixty-four mines have returned to their shareholders in the aggregate more than a hundred millions of dollars. The market value of thirty-seven of them at the close of the year was over ninety millions, and their dividends exceeded eleven mil lions, or at the average rate of 124 per cent. at the present market value of their stock.-Banke-s' Magazine.

Our red brethern, and neighbors of the San Carlos Indian reservation, on the 3rd instant, indulged in another shooting scrape, in which four were killed and one was shot through the hips and will probably die. The ire quency of such tragic scenes is a mat ter of deep concern to the whites, and necessarily creates a feeling of inse curity and has been the cause of ire quent appeals to the government for relief, which were invariably denied, but now, since the induction of Gene ral Harrison as our executive officer, we cherish the hope that the uplifted hand of the savage will be arrested. Chil-chu-ana, a refractory chief, was a disinterested spectator of the killing on the 3rd. It is reported that the two murderers of Cosper, the white t 'amster, were also pre-. ent. The it l. ation will be better understood by the reader when appraised that the number properly speaking, White Mountain reservation, aggregates upwards of 5000, many of whom are good Indi- ans, while others will not do to trust. The only safe policy for the govern ment to pursue is to separate the sew eral bands, and place the refractory Indians where they could be better guarded, and would not be perpetual menace to the surrounding country peopled with white citizens. A me morial from our legislature in refer ence to the matter would afford Mark Smith a prop to lean upon while pre- senting the subject to the President.- Globe Silver Belt.

Though New Mexico and Arizona have not been admitted into the sis
 terhood of states. which fact has oc- casioned much disappointment in both territories, it may prove a matter of
 congratulation rather than adversely.
 In assuming the garb of statehood
 many are the responsibilities accom- panying it, and we fear that neither territory could successfully bear the expense of state government without exorbitant taxation to be followed up by depreciation of values in realities and thus obstructing the present pro gress and the best interests of each.
