Peril in q Boy's Telegraph Line.

A special from Topeka, Kan, says: Two inventive lads, Fred Baer and Earl McDowen, constructed @ private telegraph wire, the wire for which was obtained from screen door, which they carefully unraveled The line was about three blocks long, and mid. way between the batteries lived Arthur Green The line broke down one evening, and the wire must have fallen across a copper wire belonging to either the electric light or rapid transit com pany. Young Green was walking across the alley when he ran into it and it froze on to him like leech. The strong current from an unknown source made the thin wire a perfect saw It took the top off one ear and ate it's way straight through the other to the skull. Catching him under the chin, it burned his throat from ear to ear, almost sew ering the jugular vein. It cut 8 fright full gash on his forehead and scared his hands, with which he tried to free himself, like a red hot iron. He Is still alive, but his recovery is doubtful. .- Denver Republican.

Getting a Good Lobster.

Those who. do the marketing and have to buy Holsters are often bothered to pick out good one. Here is a good rule to follow: If you examine lobster that was alive when thrown into the boiler you will find that the tail is curled up to the body, while one that was dead has the tail extended. In buying Holsters this is a good thing to bear in mind. New York Journal.

Why They Are Popular.

Some weeks ago the Marquis of Lorne and Princess Louise were returning to London from tour in the provinces. They occupied compartment reserved for them in the express train. At one of the stations the rush of passengers was so great that the cars filled up and many people could not find places. Thereupon the marquis opened the door of his com partment and announced that there was room therein for four people, Beg your pardon" said the guard, "but the com partment is reserved and I can't admit any others" But I'll be responsible for the consequences" said the marquis. The guard was sorely puzzled.
 His orders were strict, and he didn't recognize the marquis. "Would you mind giving me your card~ suggested the poor fellow. II shouldn't like to get into trouble, sir" "I have no card" answered the marquis smiling; but l am the Marquis of Lorne, and my wife, the Princess Louise, wishes you to ad- init four of those passengers to this com partment."
 That settled it, of course. give this story as one of many showing why the marquis and iis wife are so popular In the eisland.-Eugene Fields London Let ter.

 He finally succumbs, evidently thinking it preferable to stand than have his life crushed out, and resigns his seat A grayheaded old gentle man, with ''solid man of Boston" stamped upon him has been watching the proceedings.

Nevertheless, thar was made an excuse
for fresh cut in the wages of their
employees.
When any workman in the course of
his work thought out an invention, it
was, as rule, taken possession of by
the firm, without any consideration to
the inventor. AT the time of the Worlds
Fair in Vienna, the Fairbanks exhibit
there gained knighthood for Thaddeus
Fairbanks, the senior, then, of the firm,
and he returned to the St. Johnsbury
people Sir Thaddeus etc.
Now, whatever the native gifts of the
Fairbanks family were, they did not take
the shape of IA mechanical, inventive
faculty. Their tastes were official, cleri-
cal perhaps, but not mechanical or in
yentive. And the knighthood was con
ferred for the inventions and improve
ments made 10y others than themselves.

Could Socrates, Aristotle and Plato
wander again through the streets of
Athens, the most surprising object upon
which their eyes might fall would
surely be small weekly paper, printed
in their own language and in characters
familiar to them, entitled, Socidlistes
("The Socialist'D Three copies of this
interesting production, respectively
dated July I, IA and 81, have just been
received at this office. From their con-
tents we may safely say that modern
Greek thought, under the inspiration of
Socialism, promises monuments far
more enduring than those which have
stood the assaults of time and barbarism

 All the county officials, with the excep- tiOn of the Surveyor, have filed their bonds, and all have been approved. Not Justice of the Peace, nor Constable, elected at the November election, have qualified.
 On Sunday next the A. X r. railroad company will divide their divisions so far as the running of trains is concerned. The first division will be from Albuquer- que to Winslow, the second from Wins low to Peach springs and the third from Peach Springs to Mojave, Cal. The new arrangement, it is said, will greatly facilitate the movement of trains over the road. The new round-house at Will jams is completed and freight division will be made at that point.
 On Sunday last Deputy Sheriff II. P. Ewing undertook to arrest Bob Steen, q Waliapai Indian, at the Empire mine. Bob would not be arrested, and after an intellectual attempt to secure him, he ran away and when Deputy Ewing called to him tO stop or he would shoot, he ran the faster. Ewing shot the h. dian twice. The first shot slightly wounded him in the side and the second broke his arm. Bob made good his es- cape, and has not yet been arrested, al- though the Indians say they will get him when his arm is well. He was wanted on a charge of stealing a horse from Louis Siebrecht.

Solomonvi,le Bulletin.

From the Solomonville Bulletin
 The examination of James Parks, for the killing of Kirk Epsey two weeks ago, particulars of which were published in the Bulletin, was held before Justice Palm on Monday last, resulting in the discharge of the defendant. This was anticipated by his friends.
 Rev. Hugh J. Furneaux, Rev. Pablo Gonzales and Father Geldorf, all of Clifton, came to Solomonville last week to administer spiritual consolation to the condemned men who were to have been hung on Friday. The Governors reprieve, however. arrived before the divines, and consequently the doomed men were not in as favorable condition for absorbing gospel truths as they otherwise would have been. They were given a bible.
 Mir Thomas Austin was up from his ranch on Tuesday. He exhibited at the Bullefiu office sack of Early Rose potatoes that were as fine as we have ever seen in any country. They were the second crop that had been raised this year oil the same piece of ground. The piece of land on his place set apart for potatoes consists of an acre and a quarter. The first crop yielded him 10000 pounds of potatoes, which he sold at from to 1 r, cents per pound, on an average price of 2cents per pound. The second crop which has just been dug yielded him $500 pounds, and these he will sell for three cents a pound. His potatoes from one and a quarter acres of ground has brought him S464.
 Mr. David C. Amber, the tragic ac- count of whose death we publish else where, was for several years resident of Morenci, this county, and at one time interested with Mir. Church and others, of the Detroit Copper Company, in the cattle business. He had a suit against his former partners the last term of the District Court of this county, which was compromised. After that Mir. Amber spent several weeks in exam ing ranches in the Gila Valley, with a view of making some investments. He had an engagement to meet Judge John Blake, oi this place, on last Monday but the papers received from Phoenix on that day announced the fact of his suicide. He was well known in the eastern portion Oi the county.
 The Buiieliu is informed that early in next month a large force ot men Will be put to work to repair the Maxey Canal, above Fort Thomas, and that about 5000 will be expended in fixing the washes caused by the extraordinary floods that visited the valley last sum- mer. This canal is taken out of the Gia river, eleven miles east of Fort Thomas, and runs to that place. It was built in 1883 by MT. J. B. Collins, with some assistance furnished by Major Mills, the then commander of the post, who took commendable interest in all enterprises for the development of Arizona. The ditch is six feet wide at the bottom, there is 5600 acres of the best land in tine Gila valley under it, and can be enlarged so that every foot of this land can be irrigated from it. There iS never any scarcity of water at the head of this ditch; last year, the dryest ever known in this section, did not materially lessen the supply of water in the river at this point. The work of repair will be done under the supervision of MT. Louis Noelkel.

book entitled How to Talk" Such recommendation
is helpful il points out way Of correcting the faus
complained Of desire TO add that the use of English
is vtatcd not only by faulty grammatical forms
but by failure to with precision the words OF
our noble vocabulary. There are too many Mrs.
MalaprOps who ridculousy msapply the richest and
finest wOrdsin the language. Many others, with more
sense than Mrs. MalaprOp, leave the big words
severely alone. but hampered through life by a
limited vocabulary. Good taste rejects the Of big
words except where big words required, but good
usage as well good taste requires that the right words
whether big little, be in the right place Now
or socaed big word mainly selfeX planatOry, and
there is no good why any one with the least
claim to education should be ignorant of their literal
meaning. / therefore recommend TO Ill who would DO

book that has appeared IN recent times. l.. ii. I.
