myself that the people OF this city
have as fine body Of men as ever as.
sembled in this council chamber, and
let me state at the beginning that as

Der of the people in this city.
The line of policy / am now able to
suggest to you will be to assist me In
combining the expenditures Of money
to the lowest reasonable limits.

Curissities of n Mexican Town.

Close to the city the Guanajuata quar- ~ies yield a beautiful stone, which has LOW a clear pea green and now z bright pink color, and which is very fine for juilding purposes, with the one drawback that the slabs obtained, while they may be had of almost any desired area, are but three or four inches in thickness. For columns, however, this is rather an ad- vantage, as may be seen in the portico oS the great theater now building, where tho grouped pillars have an appearance al@ most of mosaic from the striated effect e the stone aforesaid. The market place at Guanajuata is laid at all sorts of planes and angles, and it is most picturesquS Ald interesting district. Especially is fl rich ;n arbolarias, or herb stands, wherS are sold the simples affected by the hoj polloi, not only vegetable fin form, but echinoderm shells, deers' hOofs, many mineral remedies, armadillo shells, pole ats split open and dried, and many other kindred inviting rostrums. Here, too, gre sold various charming sorts of pottery the lovely iridescent ware, the discovery ,f whose manufacture in Mexico has ere ,ted veritable furor among the affectors of ceramics-the red, double spouted, can teen like water bottles, and the strikingly effective ware of Guadalajara, which, by the way, may here be bought for 8 trifie, 78 cents the bottle, while in Chihuahua pr Mexico it costs from S1 to S3-San Eranci=es Chronicle.

HISPANO AMERICAN.
Judge Ainsa Tears the Veil From
 the Democratic Party.

Last night the Hispano American Republican Club held meeting in which its president in answer to chal- lenge of the democratic club, proved one by one the charges made against the democratic party in It's proclamation of Oct. 4th, 1890.
 For two hours Judge Ainsa held mixed audience of Mexicans and Ameri- cans bound Tn the chains of his argu- ments, tearing to tatters democratic pretentions. The democrats 1t appears had offended the personal prds of the speaker by some foul public acton and his spirit being worked to its highest pitch, carried Judge Ainsa to the hither- to untreaded ground in this territory of accusing the democratic party of be- ing the abetor, alder and friend of the gambling element Tn our midst.
 Notwithstanding the disadvantage Of having to speak to a mixed audience he managed to keep all interested to the end of his speech.
 The following resolutions adopted by ths club were handed to us for publica- tion:
 The Hispano American Republican Club despises and ignors the manifesto of the Democratic Mexican Club, pub hshed by Marlano G. Samanigo, Oct. l1tt., 1870.
 That, the members of this club reject as servIi and ignominious the principal adopted by the democracy, that the party is master and owners of it's sup porters; that on the contrary, the suver- igenity or the American citizen is the dearest dogma that inspires us, and that whenever there are good reasons for changing, We reserve to ourselves that right. That we are not slaves of the party, in other words we are not demo- crats.
 That, besides the reasons already given by our proclamation heretofore, we now'add that we emphatically protest against the legislative candidates of the because they were.chosen by the gambling element in our community, who dominate the democratic party. That, among those candidates are those who are profession Il gamblers, others who are filiated to the fraternity by ties of blood and friendship, and all of them are under the dominion of that painful influence, and obliged to legis- late In favor and to perpetuate the vice in Arizona.
 Wherefore, we entreat all the homer able men, all the fathers of family, and all who have an interest for the well be ing and honor of the territory to vote against the legislative ticket of the dem- ocracy.
 Down with the gamblers ticlle!
 By Order of the Club.

MURDER NEAR CLIFTON.
A Gilman Murdered and Thrown in
 a We'll.

Henry Buehman who returned from Clifton this morning, reports that 8 Chiraman was murdered at a station house son the Narrow Guage railroad, about 20 miles from Clifton, on the 10th inst. He was employed there as cook. The section boss returned that evening found the Chinaman missing, and the flour dabbled with blood. Bloody foot tracks were traced to a we'll across the railroad, few yards distant. Here the Chinaman was found, still alive, with his head crushed in by some blunt in strument. He died in few minutes after being brought up.
 The following morning Mexican was arrested near Clifton with a bloody sleeve. He stated that his nose had been bleeding, but nevertheless he was taken to Silver City aud lodged in jail.

 Effel Structure.

ft Is to Be Just Twice as High as the Efffel Structure.
 When the Hfel Tower, st the Paris Exposition, was demonstrated to an inn.
 mense success, both physically and fi- nancially, London began to talk about
 building a rival structure, 5000 feet
 high, and then New York, with charac:
 teristic emulation, began to talk of
 building one 5000 feet high. The New
 York project ended in talk, which was also characteristic, but the London scheme is making progress and the
 :ower is in fair way to be built.
 It is under the management of Sir Ed
 ward Watkin, who is famous as the pro
 iector of tunnel under the English Channel, which his bold compatr are afraid to build, lest it might admit for eign foe, and his energy is sufficient guarantee that the tower will be erected as soon as possible. It is to stand on the Thames embankment, in a fashion able part of London, and as it is to be twice as high as the Eifel Tower, it is. of course, expected to be twice as great m attraction.
 There is no doubt that it will be, if not because of it's height, then because of it's unique character. It can scarcely fail to be something novel and curious in the way of architecture, for no less than PAS arcbitects and engineers are preparing designs for it, and it will be very singular if something new and ex traordinary shall not be evolved from so great number of brains trained in the 3evising of new forms and combinations
 There are, however, great difficulties in the way Of a variety of designs The necessities of the situation forbid fan tastic architeeture and elaborate orna- mentation. When NJ. Eiffel built his tower he'found himself restricted to the simplest of all shapes-a light structure of open iron work, which the wind could blow through without overturning, and which would not fall down of it's own weight. still, the builders of the Tower of Babel had a radically different de- signs and were getting on very we'll with 1t when stopped by circumstances over which they had no control; so perhaps the PAS artists will evolve a design quite as feasible as NJ. Eiffeps and great deal prettier.
 The London towers is apropos of nothing in particular. It is simply business speculation, like cyclorama or a new theater. There are enough sight-seers ip London every day to make 1t profitable if it becomes popular fad, and as the idea has not yet lost it's nov city there seems to be no good reason why a visit to London hereafter should be considered complete without visit to the Watkin Tewer.-Philadelphia Inuuirer

Inc physical energy or force soaS
 aaaes exerted by the human body un-
 der certains conditions is known to be astonishing, but no one has ever takes the trouble to put before us that force
 n figures. Dr. J. BucheiSter has now made a most interesting calculation on the work done" by mountaineers m ascending heights, which will serve asan illustration. Supposing a noun. taineer weighing 168 pounds is mak- mg th9 ascent of a summit 1000 feet high from the point of starting, he has to expens an amount of physical force found by multiplying his weight by the height to be ascended. In the ease assumed, a weight of 16S pounds, multiplied by a height of 2, GOO feet equals 1,176, 900 foot pounds; or in other words, l, 176, 900 pounds have to be lifted one foot.
 This IS work performed merely by the muscles of the legs, but besides this, the contractions of the musclx of the heart have to be taken into ac- eount. Its function consists, as is we'll known, Tn propelling the blood col lectlng Sn the heart on the one hand into the arteries, and on the other into the lungs This is effected at an in- ltial velocity of one and one.half foot per second which represents in the case of an adult a work of feur foot pounds for each contraction of the heart The pulsations of an adult are, or an average, seventy-two per minute, but in ascending heights, ow- ing to the additional exertion, their number IS increased to an extraordi- nary extent.
 Assuming, for the sake of simplicity In calculation, only 100 beats of the pulse per minute, this would give 400 foot pounds per minute, 24,000 foot pounds per hour, and 10000 foot pounds for the five hours supposed to be required in ascending a height of 1000 feet The work performed by the muscles in breathing, by the ex- pansiOn and contraction of the chest. may also he estimated at 4 foot pounds Assuming, further, that the numbes of breathlngs per minute IS, on the av craze, only 25, although, as a matter of fact, it will be found to be higher in a mountain ascent lasting five hours, we have to add further work of 70. 900 foot pounds.
 The total work performed during five hours by mountaineer conse- quently amounts to 1926 900 foot pounds. In this estimate are not in- cluded the physical force spent in overcoming the friction on the ground, the eXertons to be made in keeping the body erect at dizzy heights, and in dragging heavy boots and foot irons, nor the loss of muscle power in cutting l steps Tn the ice, not to reckon the l work performed in carrying an ice OK, or the physical force exerted in l crossing fresh loose snow. Taking all | these conditions into account, Dr. Bucheister arrives at the conclusion that the work done in an ascent of | 1000 feet, lasting five hours, cannot | be placed at less than 1, ,3S0, 900 foot | pounds.

ON SCIENTIFIC SUBJECTS.

| MANISTIQUE has an aqueous volcano. a | spring 25O feet wide and 400 feet long. | The water and sand boil up from adepth
 of 65 feet and throw the little lake up
 into conical shape. It supplies a cree 20 feet wide and 3 feet deep the year | around.
 THROUGH the medium of the locOmo- | tive telephone signal two trains ap- | preaching each other establish cOmmun- icatiOn by closing the circuit when two
 miles apart. The ringing of a gong
 warns the engineers, who, by means of the telephone, can talk to each other. THE fact that the waves in the North Sea differ in shape when caused by northeast wind under high pressure
 from those caused by a southwest wind
 with low barometer, is considered as a
 proof that the air in an anti-cyclone is
 descending current and the air in cy-
 clone an ascending current. -'
 EXPERIMENTS by means of photograph
 ic plates in the Mediterranean Sea show
 that in the middle of a sunny day in summer the rays of the sun do not pen citrate the waters of that sea depth of more than one hundred and fifty fath- oms. In September the distance pene- trated is much reduced, the depression on the plates at the above depth not being greater than that made by star light.
 NEVADA has what are termed s'trav- cling stones" They are described as being perfectly round, about as large as walnut, and of an ivory nature. When distributed about on the floor, table, or other level surface within two or three feet of each other, they at once begin 70 move toward each other until they meet in common center and there lie huddled in bunch. They are largely composed of magnetic iron ore.
 TELEPATHY is being developed from phenomena to recognized science sub Ject to definite and traceable laws. It is simply psychical telegraphy, and there is no doubt but that as the finer civilization advances to use higher and subtler forces, it will take as recognized place in the activities of the world as 5elegraphy does now, and it will be no more marvellous to the people of the year 20OO than is the telegraph to the people of the year of grace 1890.

Magic RiyerA

A sudden thaw in spring Is a com mon enough cause of the swelling aud overflow of rivers, but few peo- pie have experience of what might be called magic rivers" (which disappeay almost as suddenly as they are born. One such, however, IS described by w. Fl. Mallock, in his account of Cy- prus, entitled ''In an Enchanted Isl and"
 On a certain evening there was a succession of thunder showers, and then, all night, a heavy and ceaseless rownpour. This" said my host, in the morning, ought to bring down the river" asked what he meant by this, and he answered that the river below us was rarely anything more than dry bed of pebbles, just as it was now.
 But generally once - sometimes three times-in the year 1t would sud- denly fill with water, flow for an hour or two, and again become dry and si- lent. l felt that the sight must be curious, and wished that I might be able to witness 1t.
 About four o'clock in the afternoon a servant came to my bedroom and asked me to go into the garden. There found my host with an opera glass, standing on the bank.
 ''Lookp exclaimed he, pointing, tits coming. Listeni you can hear"
 l listened and looked. I at last caught sound, faint and uncertain, as leaves rustling in @ dream. Then suddenly, far away on the plain, l saw something flash, like the head of pointed spear. Gradually this pro- longed itself into a slim, shining line, which presently took curve. For a time its course was straight; then it curved again.
 In ten minutes, over the brown sur face of the fields the water had stretch ed itself like long, silvery snake, and the sound 1 had heard growing every Instant more distinct, explained itself to the ear as the voice of the stirred pebbles. The river channel skirted the bottom of the garden, and thus, as she flood went by, we had every op- portunity of observing it. It pushed .tself forward, headed by a mass of bubbles and scum; it split itself into fierce rivulets, which, moment later, were drowned in the body of the stream; it gurgled against banks; it ,ircled into transitory whirlpools.
 Gradually, as we watched, its vol Ime seemed to diminish, and in ap hours time there was only tricklins Till, over which a child years ola night have stepped.-Montreal Star.
