MI. Orth was in a quandary. He
had given a good excuse for not sending
the shotgun in his former letter, but
now he was stuck. He thought
over the matter for some time, and
finally concluded that there was only
one way out of the difficulty. He bought
a secondhand shotgun, breech-loadlng,
and sent it to the old man by express:
At the same time his latest agricultural
report and the garden seeds were for
warded.
MI. McMillin says that lie afterward
heard that Orth Was avenged. One
day, as the old man was trying the

him. But McMillin does not say that

Mr.. Orth's Begging Constituent.

Benton McMillin retailed a story
which he said he had heard from the
lips Of GodloveS S. Orth, formerly a we'll
known representative from Indiana.
Soon after the beginning of the war an
old Hoosier, who lived in his district,
wrote him a letter. 1t began thus:
Dear Jedge: take my pen in hand
to let you know that we are all we'll an:
hope this will find you enjoyin' the same
blessin'.
He wrote that he had a wife and a
boy that was mighty smart. He said
that he had voted for the "Jedge" every
time that he had been a candidate, and
he thought it was about time he got
somethin'. He said that he understood
that the Government had lots of guns
on hand. aud he wanted him to send
hlm by express right off, a double-bar.

Get a breech-loader if you can," he
continued, land if you can't git a breech

thirteen-year-old, an he kin shoot like

Mr.. Ortiz hesitated awhile beiore re

that he was very sorry he could no;

could be got to put down the rebellion
He took great pleasure, however, il

Water Does Babies Good.

A distinguished children's doctor
believes, from his practice, that infants
generally, whether brought up at the
breast or artiticially, are not supplied
with sufficient water, the fluid portion
Of their food being quickly taken up
and leaving the solid too thick to be
easily digested. In warm, dry weather,
healthy babies will take water every
hour with advantage, and their frequent
fretfulness and rise Of temperature are
often directly due to their not having
it. A free supply Of water and restrict
ing the ~frequence of nursing have been
found at the nursery to be a most
effectual check il cases of %incipient
fever, a diminished rate of mortality
and marked reduction in the number OF
gastric and intestinal complaints being
attributed to this cause. In teeth.

frequently stops the fretting and rest

Acuteness of Scent Of the Australian
1t is we'll known that among the lowe
animals senses of hearing and smell ar
developed to an astonishing degree. Tn
pointer that smells a bevy of quail tw
or three hundred yards away, and tn
deer that scents a human being half
mile or more, or hears the first crack c
a twig two or three hundred yards of
are cases in point.
Man, in his progress from lower t
higher stages OF culture has had les
and less occasion to use these tw
faculties, and so they have become les
and less acute.
Though hearing and scent are not de
veloped among the lower races of ma
to an extent comparable with the an
mails, they are nevertheless remarkabl
acute.
Thus Lumboltz while in Queenslan
noticed that, in passing along, the ns
tives frequently took a handful of dil
out of a crevice in the rock or a cleft i
a tree, and smelled of it to discover if an
animal had passed over it. He also oil
served that when digging out mice fro,
their holes, they frequently smelled
J a handful of the earth to see if the an
NAL was at home.
Though the peculiar odor Of thes
: animals was familiar to the naturalis
he was never able to discover it in til
ground, and this fact shows how sup,
rior to his W olfactory powers were til

RAILROAD ROLLING STOCK.
Never Before as Cheap as at the Present
 Date.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle
 A gentleman of this city who has had occasion to investigate the matter states that freight cars never were so cheap as at present. In lots of fifty or more thirty-ton cars, strongly built and having all the improvements, can be had for $450 each, and, he continued, eff you want them handsomely painted and var nished, with your name in gilt letters on each side, you can get them for $5OO each. In fact, freight cars are now so cheap that it does not repay to remodel old light-burden cars, and last year the Reading Railroad Company made bon fire of fifty of it's old pattern cars.
 Locomotives are also very cheap, a machine of the best kind that during the war would have cost from $26 900 to $30, 900, can now be built profitably for $6O0O to 5000. When asked as to the cause of this cheapness of cars, he said it was due partly to the low cost of ma terial, but more largely to the introduc- ton of labor-saving machinery. All the cars are built to gauge, and when big order is received everything is gotten out by machinery and about the only hand work required is the bolting of the different parts together.

 Capt. Henry Arey, constable at Mari copa, arrived in Florence last evening with three young tranps who broke into a sealed freight car at Maricopa Junction and helped themselves to the contents. They were given preliminary exami- nation before Justice Perry M. Williams at Maricopa, and were held in default of bonds to appear before the grand jury. They are mere boys, the oldest being about eighteen years of age, but they are well schooled in the vices of the world.

Scarcity of Rolling Stock.

From the Flagstaff Democrat.
 Many of our cattlemen are very much inconvenienced for want of stock cars in which to ship their cattle. They are urging the Atlantic Ss Pacific Railroad Company for cars, but the business has increased to such an extent within the past few months that the company's motive power is run to its utmost capacity, and much freight is delayed to such an extent as to inconvenience our merchants in receiving their goods. Several new locomotives have been placed on the road, but more will be required to do the work of the increas- ing freight trafic.
