The Mohavs County taxes case against
the A. 4 r. railroad company. which
came before the Territorial Supreme
Court at Phoenix last week, have been
continued until the May term. This em-
braces the 1857 and 1888 cases. This ei-
fsctually puts stop to the idea that the
A. 4 p. would be compelled to pay their
taxes on April lst. next. The Apache
county tar cases against the A. 4 p, will
probably be reached within two or three
years in the U. 8. Supreme Court, and
the Mohaye county cases will perhaps
reach that court in year or two, and
then il will be several years before
hearing can be had. Poor old Mohave,
paying the highest tax rate Of any county
in the territory, and the already large
dsbt growing larger each year, and the
means to reduce both taxation and the
debt IL refused. II is indeed poor old

cage had already proceeded and the un-
fortunate man fell crashing into the cage,

Tho unconscious man was speedily

was 10 badly crushed Is to require ampu-
tation Just above the knee, and the opcr-
alton was performed Sunday. Mr.. Hall

Why Flowers Sleep.

That flowers sleep is evident to the
most casual observer. The daisy opens
at sunrise and closes at sunset, hence
its name-"day'S eye" The morning
glory opens with the day, but never
lives to see another sunrise. The
''John-go-to-bed-at-noon" awakes at 4
o'clock in the morning, but closes its
eyes during the middle of the day;
the dandelion is in full bloom only
during strong light. This habit Of
some flowers is certainly very curious,
and furnishes one of the many III
stances which prove the singuI lar adap
liability of everything in nature. The
reason is found III the method by
which this class of flowers is fertilized.
1t is obvious that flowers fertilized by
night flying insects would derive no
advantage by being open during. the
day. and, on the other hand, mat
those which are fortified by bees
would gain nothing by remaining
open at night. Why may we not sup
pose, then, that the closing OF flowers
may have reference to the habits of III
sects? In support of this theory we
observe that wind fortified flowers
never sleep.-St. Louis Republic.

Are of the Snecies.

Although there is some relation be,
tweed size and longevity, the duration
of the period of growth and length OF
life being, speaking generally, longest
in the largest animals, there is no fixed
relation between the two. The largest
organisms live the longest, some trees
reaching an age OF G,000 years, and
some animals, as whales, several con-
turies. And, after the maturity is
reached, larger animals require longer
time to secure the preservation of the
species. The explanation of this, aS
pointed out by both Lcuckhart and
Herbert Spencer, is that the absorb
ing surface of an animal only increas-
es as the square of its length, while its
size increases as the cube, and it there
fore follows that the longer an animal
becomes the greater will be the dill

HOW GEN. GRANT POPPED.

he " rs -huu
and Rain While Home on n Furloush.
A very striking incident in the life
of Gen. Grant was mentioned by an
intimate friend. 1t related to the deli
cato subject of how the general popped
the question. Those who knew Gen.
Grant intimately can imagine how he
could storm q rampant, charge a bat
terry of artillery or lead a forlorn hope
in battle easier than be could ask for
the hand Of the woman he loved.
The occasion when the young lieu
tenant i'll the army aud Julia Dent
plighted their troth was not one of
those ideal moonlight nights, nor were
the stars twinkling over lovers signs,
but on dark, stormy night in the
woods of Missouri. The lieutenant
was visiting his army comrade and
former claSSmate, Fred Dent.
He had driven into town in a buggy
with his comrades sister. The young
people were on their way home. The
darkness had overtaken them. The
rain had fallen in torrents and the
roads were ankle deep with mud. The
lightning flashed and the thunder
pealed oct of the blackness of night
which followed. \ swollen stream
and frail bridge stood in their way.
AS they reached the spot a sudden flash
Of electric light revealed the tes,ors of
the food and the dangers of the
bridge. In an instant awaiting him
self of this moment OF light, the brave
young officer urged the good steed
upon the quivering doorway. A dread
full burst of thunder shook the very
foundations of the earth. The young
maiden, who had thus far bravelY faced
the terrors of the situation, stunned
by the tremendous crash. grasped the
unmoved lieutenant by her side with
affrighted force.
The bridge now began to yield to the
undermining action of the raging tor
rent. AS it seemed to sink away the
maid exclaimed in her fears: "Oh, we
are lost" mo, Julia" came a tender
reply from the heart full of emotion
which beat in that brave young breast.
Nothing shall happen to you. shall
take care of you"
Another flash in timely succession
revealed the terrible situation, but one
judicious stimulation of the powerful
steed brought the lieutenant and his
hearts treasure once more upon the
solid ground of the other side as the
plankway of the bridge moved away
in the surging food. Rescued from
situation so pcrilous was the occasion
for thoughtful silence. The storm
beaten lovers pushed on their trying
way through mud, and rain and wind.
Soon out of the darkness came a
voice, Julia, were you frightened?"
What a terrible night it IS" said the
maiden in reply. Il would always
like to care for you and protect you.
May do sol" eyes, " in the simple in
nocence of her girlish heart, was the
answer.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

When a storm is advancing, the
wind blows to meet it. Thus wind
blowing from the east or southeast in
dicates the approach of storm from
the west. When the storm center has
passed, however, the wind changes
and follows the storm. If a person
has good barometer and wind gage,
he can tell pretty correctly when a
storm is coming. Without the instru-
