AS 4 general thing our Democratic
friends are 4 unit i'll matters political,
but such 4 mess as thev have got into
this spring is Il caution. They held
their city convention at the Court
House last Saturday. The convention
consisted of but twenty one delegates.
yet these twGnty-one delegates found
their counterpart when they got TO the
hall.
Organization was finally attained by
placing Mr.. John keaough III the chair
and by making Mr.. ". IL. Harvey,
secretary. When the chair announced
{. J. Morissette, VI. G. French and
Frank Schwellcnhach Is his committee
on credentials, the fun began by a Wig
orous kick from the duplicate, or sec

were all PaGen men, while it was
clear the committee on credentials

Tradition says that the twelfth day from Christmas day was remarkable for having been that upon which the visit of the Magi took place, upon which Christ was baptized, the water at Cana turned into wine and the five thousand fed. For 300 years it was kept by east ern Christians as the day upon which Christ was born, and among ourselves it was long observed with great festivities. We are told that in the reign of King Alfred law was passed tby virtue of which the twelve days after the nativity of our Saviour were made festivals"
 The last day was accounted the great est of the twelve, and especially given up to Christmas gambols" and the vis- iting of friends. The custom seems long to have continued in force, for in the Sixteenth century Twelfth day seems to have been kept with as much zeal as Christmas. The royal family at court led the way, the universities and the inns of court following them in the extent of their festivities. At the temple the whole twelve days were kept with great care, and many of the country gentle men followed the same custom. In some parts of England the very poorest peo- pie contrived to keep the twelve days with such good cheer for themselves and their neighbors as their means would allow.-Exchange.

Balky Horses.

We never had much faith in remedies for this evil. and while we believe that bad handling makes balky horses, We feel that when the habit is once acquired the only sure remedy is to kill the animal Yet we read of curing balky horses. The Farm Journal gives the case of man who makes business of buying balkey horses; curing them and selling them afterwards, He hitches the horse to substantial rig, provides himself with creature comforts and starts out When the horse balks he tries to persuade it to go on, but never whips it. As soon as it is clear case that the horse is determined to stay where it is, he lets it stay. He settles into the ground bar of iron, with ring on top. and hitches the horse to 1t. Then he pro oaeds to enjoy himself. When the horse g cts tired and hungry or dry he wants to go, the owner won't go. He balks too, and continues to amuse himself When he thinks the horse is punished enough, he unhitches, pulls up his bar and moves on. He repeats this process as often as the horse balks, but he seldom has to repeat the dose.-Ex.

The Rotation of Venus.
From the Youths Companion

The time of the rotation of Venus on on her axis has never been established beyond doubt Astronomers have made great efforts for more than two centuries to solve the difficult problem. but no one has succeeded in obtaining entirely satisfactory results.
 Spots on the planet have been the data for working out the problem, the reap pearance of the same spots in the same places being considered as proof of diurnial rotation. Many observers of these markings agree in deducing rotation period of twenty three hours twenty-one minutes, and this time has been generally adopted, though not without misgivings in regard to its accuracy.
 A formidable opponent of the usually accepted theory has entered the field Schiaparelli, the eagle-eyed astronomer of Milan, after satisfying himself that Mercury reyolves once on its axis during its revulution of eighty-eigbt days around the sun, has turned his attention to Venus. He discovers, as he believes. that she follows the same law, turning once on her axis while she makes her revolution of 225 days around the sun If this theory be true, Venus knows no attenuation of day and night. Perpetual day reigns on the side toward the sun, and perpetual night on the other side.
 Venus is closely akin to the earth in size, mass and power of gravitation. She has an atmosphere probably exceeding in depth that of earth, and so laden with clouds that the real surface of the planet is invisible to us. Her axial rota- ton has been supposed to ocoincide with that of the earth. It has, therefore, seemed possible that the earth's twin sister might be inhabited by race re- sembling our own, endowed with a richer andnoble life. while rejoicing in more glorious sun, and twice the light and heat that fall to our share.
 The visions are put to fight by the speculations of the Italian astronomer We can form little idea of life on a planet where, on one side, there are no sunrises or sunsets, no stars, or moon, and where, on the other side. no sun ever shines, and the light comes from the stars, the aurora, the fall of the meteors or the occasional visits of comets.
 The theory will not be accepted with out strong confirmation Observation must be piled on observation, with the aid of more and more powerful teles- copes, before it can take its place among the things that are known to be true.

A Man Found Dead on the Desert.
BuckeYe BlAd

Buckeye Blade.
 On Sunday, November ?, as John Roberts was riding over the range on the south side of the Gila looking for stock, when about half a mile northeast of Robbins Butte and short distance from the river, an offensive odor was waited from among some cottonwoods beyond. Thinking that some of his cattle might have died, he rode in the direction and was attracted by mans coat hanging on limb of fallen cottonwood. Riding up to it he was mortified to find lying on the ground, the remains of man in an ad vanced stage of decomposition. Mr. Roberts quickly retraced his steps, hasten ed to Buckeye and informed Judge Wiley who quickly summoned jury to hold an inquest over the remains. The coroner and jury upon reaching the pla ce, were greatly moved on beholding the re- mains of an aged man,
 The deceased apparently anticipated the near approach of death, as he had gathered some weeds and made himself bed, and when found was lying in a sleeping posture his head resting on a log with only his hat for pillow. He hung his coat on limb over his head, evident ly for the purpose of attracting attention. Nothing was found about him that wo uld lead to his identification. The jury re- turned verdict of death from unknown causes.
 The deceased was about five feet five inches tall and about sixty years old, wearing full gray beard which appeared to have been sandy in younger years, and had been dead about month or six weeks. Several thought they recognized him as prospector, who passed through Buckeye with burro. some two months ago, and inquired for the best place to cross the river The surmise is, that he was on his way from Gila Bend or beyond, and finding the river too high to cross, he laid down and died of exhaustion and | starvation

A Great Undertaking.

Another Pan American Congress will shortly assemble at Washington, says the London Times. This time it is rail way and not commercial union that it will form the subject of discussion, and the particular question to be brought on the tapis is the connection of the two con- tinents by means of an Inter Continental railroad, The scheme is grandiose one. and worthy the enterprising genius of the Great Republic. If carried out the traveller will be able to travel by rail right across the vast stretch of country that separates Canada from Patagonia, Several of the principal Central and South American States have appointed delegates to rep resent them at Washington, and others will in all likelihood follow suit Unless the coming congress prove as abortive as its predecessor, which does not appear probable, we may expect that the work oi surveying for the proposed railroad will soon be undertaken,

The Horyoke Lawyer and His Son.


 Going to Springfield the other day there was seated in the car one of Hol- yoke's legal lights, accompanied by his wife and his 6-year-old son and heir, whose sole ambition in life at present is to learn to whistle. The windows were open, and the boy had been holding on to his hat with one hand for fear it would blow away. The conductor coming in slammed the door, and for an instant the boy let go his hat. His father reached round through the window and whisked it off his head The boy was disconsolate. Look straight ahead and whistle for it and it will come back, !" said his father.
 T can't whistle. I'm too mad"
 Well, then, I'll try" and the dignifed lawyer whistled a few bars of Annie Rooney" and shortly afterward placed the hat on the boys head, whose tears were now turned to smiles Then he stood up in the seat, and snatching his fathers new $8 tile from his head de- hberately threw it out of the car window, saying, Whistle for it again, papa Northampton Mass.)

The New Mexico Election.
Fl Paso Bullion

New Mexico went democratic, and Hon. Anthony Joseph was elected for the third time delegate to Congress. The result, however, in this case could have been foreshadowed by the result of the pre- vious contest for statehood As we go to press it is believed that all the counties of southern New Mexico have given dem ocratic majorities, and that the same par ty has also carried Taos, Mora, Rio Ar riba, Santa Fe, San Juan and San Mi guel counties, leaving two counties, name ly, Bernallio and Valencia, in which the republicans triumphed. Both Anthony Joseph and Mariana s. Otero, are first class citizens; the contest was close and in the event that either were elected the interests of New Mexico were safe.

Stealing the MilIx.

All have heard of snakes and many different animals that rob the calf but it has remained for Mr. J. w. Harrington to discover a new foe. For some time the cows on his ranch have been going dry to a discouraging extent. The cause was explained recently by his discovering a SOW in the act of stealing milk from COW. The cause removed, the cows now yield as much milk as formerly.
