THE MULE STRUCK OUT.
That Is Why Headless Chickens Were
 Picked Up in Virginia.

That Is Why Headless Chickens Were
 Picked Up in Virginia.
 There has been considerable gold found re- gently several miles north of the District line, and several shafts have been sunk on various properties, all of which, to use the usual language of the boom, exceed the most sanguine expectations of the promo ters." Several farmers out near the seat Of disturbance have been earning considerable money hauling orc from the shaft to Senator Sawyer's stamp mill, few miles away. The shafts are sunk and the ore extracted by the usual methods of drilling and blasting For the latter purpose nitro-glycerine is used.
 One Of the teamsters put several empty iTo-giycerine cans in his cart and took them to his home, near Takoma Park, last week, intending to clean them up and make pals of them. He set them down in the barn yard while be was putting up the mules. A half grown hog saw the cans, walked up and nuzzled them around. About gill of the stuff had collected in the bottom of each, and the pig licked 1t down. It has a sweet flavor and is medicinal Then the farmer came out, picked up the cans and took them into the house. The pig chewed up a stray ear of corn, dead rat, some corn husks and two or three other delicacies and ambled into the barn. Perhaps nothing would have happened if the razor back had been gifted with ordi- nary intelligence, but what would possess him under the circumstances to go and scratch his back against the post of the of mules stall is past understanding. Now, mules are only human; they are not exempt from or above the foibles of mankind.
 When things go wrong with them they make the welkin ring with their wild Horneric "Hee-awi hee-awI hee-aw" and then kick like Queen Anne musket. So when the of mule looked around and saw the pig scratch ing his back six inches from his heels he strengthened his neck, closed his eyes in brief and silent prayer, swung his sinister limb up over his shoulder and then struck out like Kelly at the bat The pig described 8 beau tiful parabola, screaming all the time like 8 300 pound shell from one of Admiral Porter's mortars, sailed out through the barn doors on fiat trajectory and struck on top of the hen house.
 Then came clap of thunder sound; the pig, O, where was hea Ask of the winds which whistled round the heavens and the sea. The nitro-glycerine had exploded, slay- ing pig, hen house and poultry into the mid dle of Ballyhaek. There hasn't piece of that pig been found big enough to hold an inquest on, nor piece of hen house big enough for a hen to pick her teeth on, and a colored man was arrested on Long bridge the other day for having in bag some headless chickens which he corfesses he picked up over in Virginia. ashington Post

GRAHAM COUNTY.
4 SUMMARY OF THE EVENTS or THE
 PAST WEEK.
Sale of Mines at Clifton---Other Mining News---Race to come off---Items of More or Less Interest
 to Everybody.
lsolomonville Bulletin. l

"Nahant," one of the best newspa- per correspondents in Arizona, writ ing from Clifton to the Lordsburg Liberal, says: "Sig Weisl has sold to the Copper King Mining Co.,, two mines. The property has always been regarded as A 1, and the company's agent here as soon as he became aware of the fact bought them, paying q good, round sum for the same. There are also other good claims in the vicinity, and the company will no doubt take them in as soon as they ascertain that the properties are safe investments"
 The race to come off at this place on the 10th inst. is attracting the attention of sporting circles in every quarter The animals are well known, and each has good and enthusiastic packers. Considerable money has already been put up in Solomonville on the result, and the event will no doubt draw a large crowd.
 MT. Newton Ingram has bonded his mining claims, Gold Bar, Tracy, North Pole and Montezuma, in Gold Gulch, near Clifton, to Thos. Rhodus, of St. Louis. These properties were located in 1879. There are many properties of value in that mining district.
 MT. Dan Ming left on Wednesday for the Aravaipa, accompanied by Mir. Withe Walker, a mining man from New Mexico, who goes to that district to examine mines owned by MT. Ming and others.
 Judge Fitzgerald thinks that a telegraph line from Thomas to Solo knoxville would be a paying invest ment, and is willing to take stock in a company to erect it.
 The probabilities are that there will be no district court i'll this county until after the term of the supreme court which meets at Prescott on the first Monday in May.
 Capt. Bullis passed through on the stage Saturday, returning to the agen- cy from trip to Texas, where it is said, he has large property interests He is the best Indian agent that ever struck Arizona.
 The weather has been quite cool this week for the season. On Mon day night heavy snows fell in the Graham and other surrounding noun tains, extending low down in the foot hills.
 Graham county is rich in every thing that will, in the near future make happy and prosperous people All tLat is needed is capital anc muscle to develop natural resources.
 There is an increasing demand fol Graham county warrants. They vii command better price next weel than has been obtained for them fol several years,
 Recent heavy frosts has done seri ous damage to the fruit crop in tho valley, but as yet 1t has not beer entirely lost.

A Technieality.
Corr. Tombstone Epitaph.)

By the way, that decision of the Supreme Court of Arizona puts our governor, upon what logicians call the horns of 2 dilemma. The declar- ation that the laws passed after the sixty days limit are legal, by implica- ton declares that all the laws which were so diligently yawped at as having a precarious legality are once more impregnably enthroned upon the statute books; that is, until some other occasion arises when they may be attacked. If this decision be law and it must be or it would not have been promulgated by such distinguish ed jurists-then the governor violated one of those laws, by deliberately ignoring the constitutional conven- ton act. But the penalty of official misdoing in this case will be escaped by what is legally known as "techni- cality." Do you know what it is, good reader? If you wish to learn, a shin ing example for study may be found in the decision of our Supreme Court recently delivered, wherein the Eng fish language is interpreted in terms of technicality. The "sixty days" of the statute are conveniently ex- tended to cover such time as is both convenient and necessary for the purposes of "the technicality;" much as mulasses Is poured upon piece of bread and permitted to spread by gravitation until sufficient surface is covered. Now what is the technical ity" which the Court has so learnedly elucidated? Is it the law? the intent, or the wording? or is it the judges? 1 incline to the latter opinion.
 It is easily seen that the law ex- presses with precision, the intent of the framers; while the opinion of the court merely shows the expediency of their acts; the adjustment of an end to present needs; the benefit of which to the "outs" is unquestioned.
