SCENT IN HORSES.
Fine and Docp Emotions Dependent on
tho Sense Of Smell.

Fine and Doop Emotions Dependent ON
tho Sense OF Smell.
The finest and deepest emotions Of a
dog seem to be dependent on his sense
of smell. Not only does he carry on his
business Of hunting or guarding through
its aid, but his devotion to his master
and his recognition Of lesser friends de-
pend largely upon his nose. According
to Horse and Stable. another among the
humber friends Of man is keen and del
icate of scent.
Tho horse will leave musty hay un-
touched in his bin, no matter how
hungry he may be. However great his
thirst, ne will not drink of water obiec-
tionable to his questioning shifts, nor
from bucket made In the least degree
offensive.
His intelligent nostril will widen,
CULVER and query over the daintiest bit
offered by the fairest of hands. A mare
is never satisfied, either by sight or
whinny, that colt is really her own
until she has certified the fact by means
of her nose.
Blind horses will, as a rule, gallon
wildly about a pasture without striking
the surrounding fence. The sense of
smell informs them of it's proximity.
Others, when let out from their stables,
will go directly to the gate leading to
their accustomed feeding-ground, and
when DESTROYS of returning, after hours
of careless wandering, will distinguish
that one outlet and patiently await it's
opening. The odor of that particular
part of the fence serves as their guide.
Nervous and timorous as this noble
animal is known to be, his fears are, of
course, doubled by this keenness of
scent, for not only does the eye inform
him of danger, but the nostrils also
herald its presence. The mere scent of
buffalo robe is sufficient to cause ex-
treme terror in many horses, and some,
seeming the smoke Of train which has
long since passed, show all the fear
evoked by its actual presence.

THE HERMIT'S PROPHECY.
Some Portions OF 1t Have Already Been
Remarkably Fulfilled.


Remarkably Fulfilled.
In August, 1867, the Bavarian ALICE
meme Zeitung printed a. remarkable
prophecy which had been made by an
old hermit many years before.
In it the rise of Napoleon III. was
clearly outlined, as were also the Austro-
Prussian and the Franco-Prussian wars
and the Commune of Paris. He told
how the death of Pope Plus would occur
in 1876 or 1877, and how it would be fol-
lowed by Turko-Russian war, being
but slightly wrong in either prediction.
He said that Germany would have
three Emperors in one year before the
end of the century, which was verified
to the letter. He missed it one, at least
in the number of United States Presi-
dents that were to die by assassination,
which was remarkably close, to say the
least.
He said that when the twentieth cent
ury opened Manhattan Island and the
whole of New York City would be sub
merged in the waters Of the Hudson,
East river and the bay; Cuba will break
in two and the west half and the city Of
Havana find a watery resting-place.
Florida and Lower California are to
break loose from the main land and
carry their load of human freight to the
bottom of the sea.
The twenty-ftth is to be the last of
tho United States Presidents, and Ire
land is to be kingdom and England a
republic by the end Of the century.
The United States is to be divided,
and San Francisco, Salt Lake City, New
Orleans, st. Louis, Washington and Bos-
| ton are to be made capitals. There should
be some consolation to the Mormons in
this. if not for the other parts Of our
great Union.
To return to Europe. The end Of the
century will not find either Italy or
, France upon the maps, and Berlin will
have been totally destroyed by an earth.

Railroad Politics.

The ex-President of the Southern
Pacific says that he has been mis-
represented by Mr.. Huntington and
that he never used dollar Of the
funds OF the corporation to advance
his personal or political interests. The
San Francisco Chronicle ventures to
say that Mr.. Huntington would not
have made so grave a charge unless
he had some facts on which to 60.
Perhaps Mr.. Stanford did not dip in
to the treasury directly for the money
to carry out his projects, but every
one who knows anything about the
makeup of the Southern Pacific force
OF employees is aware that large pro-
portion of it consists Of men whose
real duties are to run the political
machine. If Huntington is really in
earnest in his professions and will
take the railroad company out Of
politics, he can cut down the salary
list Of the corporation about twenty
five per cent. and greatly increase the
efficiency of the working force

THE NEW CENSUS,
Relative Positions Of the Twenty
Leading Cities a. Compared With
1880.

In 1880 there were in the United
States twenty cities with population
each of 100000 or over. Judging by
conservative local estimates the CEN
sus OF 1890 will show as MANY as
thirty, and possibly thirty-five cities
each having ut least 10000 inhabi-
tants.
New York and Philadelphia are
still plainly at the top. But the
third place passes from BROOKLYN.
rapidly as she is now growing, to
Chicago. Although Brooklyn is now
the fourth city in point of population,
she will stand in the census of 1890
with population nearly equal to that
of Philadelphia in 1889. st. Louis
and Baltimore, which were behind
Boston in 1880, are probably ahead
OF her to day and Boston drops from
the fifth to the seventh place in the
list.
The next four cities-Cincinnati,
San Francisco, New Orleans and
Cleveland-hold their rank in the
last census. Then we come to anoth-
er drop. Pittsburg goes down three
points and its former place as the
twelfth city is taken by Minneapolis,
which was as low down as number
thirty-eight in the last census. The
following table shows these and other
changes in the pOpulatiOn.

The people of this section realized a very heavy loss during the recent flood. When the flood came, they had "dam by mill site;" when it receded there was no mill by dam site" However the people are actively at work rebnild- ing the dam, and are striving to make one this time that will not only serve this generation, but generations to come. They expect to have it completed in time to raise crop of corn and possibly two of alfalfa.
 Two hearts have been made to beat as one within the past two weeks, and there are from two to tour more, willing and anxious to pass through the same ordeal.
 The prospects for fruit are good, and the people generally seem to trust in Providence, and though they anticipate considerable persecution, they are de- termined to make brave and gallant fight for the rights guaranteed them un- der the Constitution.

Henry Barrett and Bud Jones, while riding the range southeast of St. Johns, 1came across the carcasses of three steers which had been killed. Strengthening l beef-eaters are becoming very sharp now days III hiding their work. They will kill steer, strip the hide from one-half the carcass, cut all the neat from the bones on the side skinned, turn the ani- nal over so that the side unskinned will be uppermost and have the appearance of having been unmolested. Any one riding the range, coming across the car cass, would naturally think the animal had died a natural death, but if they were 10 take the trouble to investigate little more closely, would find that half the hide, as we'll as half the meat was gone. 4 mayordomo for large sheep man in New Mexico, sad to these gen tlemen, in speaking of the case of Brown and Carr, charged with killing one of Judge Pratt's cattle, that they were fools and that he always killed his beef in the brush that if any one should ride up on him while he was engaged in the job, that he would try to kill the man. We have no doubt the fellow told the truth, and that he did, and would do, just as he said. The man who employs this fellow, is good citizen, and we do not believe would uphold hls employee in such rascality, if he knew it.

The natural bridge on Pine creek, in the northern part of Gila county, equals if it does not surpass the natural bridge of Virginia. It spans the creek at a height of about 200 feet, and the walls of the canyon rise above it on either side 700 or 500 feet, forming on one side a perpendicular precipice. The bridge is of lime formation, and the inside of the great arch, some 250 feet across, is worn by the water as smooth as though chiselled by the hands of a stone mason. On top the arch is nearly, if not quite, 400 feet in width, 1000 feet in length across the canyon, and at the thinnest part only six feet through. About the centre of the arch is a hole large enough to admit the body of a man, and through which one can look down into the crys- tai pool of water 200 feet below.-Ex.

The Sheriff was misdirected as to the course taken by the fugitive, and was sent off on a wild goose chase Whether this was done Intentionally or ignorantly, we cannot say, but the result is the same, no mat ter what the motive of the person who misdirected him, and that is, that an- other criminal who should have been punished, has found the means to escape thro ugh the connivance of persons who sympathise with crime and use all their powers to thwart justice.
