 The Prospeesor says thst Superin
 tendent Cheyuey is preparing questions
 for the next examinations in the various
 counties of the territory. It is to be
 hoped that they may be of such a char
 acter as to be some test of the qualifica-
 ten of applicants for certificates, in-
 stead oi being mere mess of puzzles.

 The New York World says, that ex-
 Congressman ". L. Scott has tried buuermilk that has been heated to boil ing point without boiling. and then per-
 mitted to cool, and enthusiastically recommends il as cure for dyspepsia. King Humbert. es Italy, is trying to
 cure his dyspepsia with whisky, and con-
 gressmen generally will say tbat he

 The World has turned the tables on Judge Hilton, of New York. The latter secured indictments against nearly every member of the editorial staff of that paper for crimina, libel. A sull for $so,e COG damages has been commence q against Hilton by the e,ly editor Of the paper. The complaint is based on a
 letter written by Hiaon to District At
 torney Fellows, on which the grand jury found these indictments.
 Now il is Mir. |. E. Levan, news paper correspondent at Laredo, Texas. who writes letter to the San Antonio Express in which he asserts that shn vsllges Booth, the assassin of Mir. Lln- coin, is stIll lIvlns and that he knew where Booth lived about one year ago. If this improbable story should be true,
 the question naturally suggests itself, who was 1t that Boston Corbei. killed ? The last heard of the latter he was m an insane asylum in Kansas.
 The surplus in the United States treasurer which has been a bug bear to the democracy, has been reduced by the present republican adminissration. It

The net cash ir the treasurer was increased Ss.soo,oo during April, while the public debt was reduced nearly $S,ooo, 600.
 A Kansas City dude carried some cloth to tailor to be made up into a pair of trousers. When the garment was completed he not only refused to pay for their making, claiming that they did not iii him, but sued the tailor for
 the price of the cloth. The case was
 tried before a justice of the peace named
 Holt, who ordered the plaintiff to dis
 robe in court and try the trousers on.
 This he did under protest and considers
 able embarrassment. When the opera tion was completed, the jessice critically
 examined him and entered judgment for defendent deciding that the trousers were made according to the latest ap- proved fashion.
 The democratic paper of Phenix says that the result of the recent election in Phenix can be considered a rebuke 10 the present territorial administration. while We have heard of one long-headed statesman who says it was direct slap at the national administration. The only deduction we have been able to draw from the n6 unexpected result is, that the democrats voted th eir ticket 10 a man. and 1t has always been we'll known fac; tha, Phenix contains more democrats than republicans. It is the first election held for municipal officers in , Phenix in which party lines were strictly drawn and as the democratic party has always been in the majority the resul can be surprise to no ore.
