TOMBSTONE has a peculiar populs- ton. Many of those who subscribed for stock to the railroad at meeting a week ago, have been diligently striv- ing to keep others from subscribing on the ground that the right men were not at the head of it, or that the heavy shippers of ore would not pat ronize the road alter being built; but notwithstanding this cold water bath to which the people have been sub ected. the very men who were said to be opposed to it have come to the front and are taking money outof their own pockets to aid in placing the road on something beside paper. In this skir- mish the croakers have me, an over wsln1ing defeat.

DIRTY CLOTHES.
War at NOgaleS Over the Seizure Oi the AmeriCan COnSul'S
 Washing.

Down in Nogales they have been having an outing, that is, Collector Christ and Delos Smith have. The latter is republican, consul to No gales, Mexico, and the former is the republican collector of customs at Nogales, Arizona. Both appointments were made by President Harrison.
 NIT. smith gets his washing done on this side of the line. An old woman comes over and gets it and returns to the consulate with it when it is clean Collector Christ and Mir. Smith have not been feeling well of late, and the Collector getting up one morning with bilious collie, ordered the guards to seize Mir. Smiths dirty clothes. Whether the collector wanted to see the size of Mir. Smiths collar, or to find out if he were "sockless states man" no one but Mr. Christ can tell, and he won't.
 Mir. Smith, however. was sorely perplexed. One can imagine the fol- lowing note written in bed while wait ing for the return of his soiled linen that he might dress
 SIR My -wash-woman reports to me this morning that one of your guards took my bundle of dirty clothes from he. last night, and I wri:e to ask that they be given to the bearer.
 You.s Respectfully
 DSUos H. SMITH
 U. $. Consul.

The dignity of the custom service must be upheld. He sat down and penned an answer to MT. Smiths demand. He insinuated that the consul was in cahoots with his washerwomsn, and refused to al low the dirty clothes" to be returned to the owner. This riled MT. Smith who was evi- dently getting hungry, and "G string" weather had passed. He wrote again, and here are some of the choice ex- press:ons used. "Your insulting letter received" "Your inferences as 10 my being a smuggler, hurl back in your teeth" You may be up in dignified ways but your style does not meet my views" And then comes 4 charge agains! MT. Christ of smuggling cig- ars. "NOw let me give you little advice [ Mir Christ, as you have volunteered l some to me. Don't bank on your honesty, and refer to law breakers just as seldom as you can consistently. 1 l find upon inquiry that this poor old 1 woman had a shawl, 65 cents; canton flannel 50 cents, and smanta Sl00-i total S2.25 Tn Mexican money, but l l know of a man who at one time al 1 Juarez, Mexico, bought box of cigars 1 on which no duties were paid and which he said was for a senator.

Strategy.

Even an extremely aggressive enemy
can be easily conquered by strategy; it
is only a question of employing the
stratagem exactly fitted to the case
An open dir preacher of East London
understood this very well, and his
stratagem fitted to q charm. He was
addressing crowd, when a soldier who
had been drinking came up and loudly
ridiculed the service.
Finding that it was useless to ignore
the man. the preacher said, "Ah, my
friend, you're no soldier; you've only
borrowed those gay, red clothesl No
servant of the queen would get drunk
and interrupt peaceful service
The man warmly protested that he
was soldier, and invited the preacher
to test him
very well" was the reply, II will
Now then, Stand at easel"
This the soldier did as we'll as his
condition allowed. Fright about facet"
This order was also obeycd, though
with some trouble
''Now, quick iuarchl" and of went
the valiant soldier, marching down the
Mile-end road at q vigorous pace, while
the preacher resumed his discourse. =

An Electrlcal Wedding.

The bride was Miss Jeanette ISics
mow Mrs. Lewis S. Grecnsfelden), and
the nuptial novelty was due to tho en-
tllusiasm of her brother, the electrician
and inventor.
Electrician Ries was master of cere-
monies. The marriage was at the
house of the brides mother, Mrs. E. T.
Ries, and, of course, there was no UNI
scelnly spectacular interruption of the
solemn knot tying.
But no sooner had the company been
comfortably seated at the banquet
table than the room burst into flood
of light from numerous vari-colored in
candescent electric lamps hidden among
the decorations and suspended at vari-
GUS points above, the heavily laden
tables. The entrance of the bride and
groom was welcomed by the automatic
ringing OF electric bells and the playing
of electrical musical instruments.
After the first course had been served
the room was plunged into ser:i-ttark-
ness, when suddenly from among the
floral decorations upon the table there
gIowed tiny electric lamps, lending an
exquisite charm and attraction to the
scene. Not only the flowers, but the
interior Of the translucent vases in
which some of them were gathered
scintillated with flashes of light After
q while alniniature electric lamp, wl,icl.
in some unexplained manner had ss
tached itself to the brides hair, W s-
seen to glow with dazzling brightness.
Elr. E. E. RIGS gave q toast to the
couple, wishing long life and an enjoy
mcnt of good things like those spread
before them. He concluded with an
injunction to be temperate in all things,
at the same time touching an electric
button, when two serpents slowly un
coiled themselves and issued from tho
wine bottle that stood before the bridal
couple.
!. Cigars and coffee were served, and
the cigars were lighted by an electric
heater, while the coffee was boiled in
full view of the company by an electric
lighter. The speeches that were made
were literally applauded by an electric
kettle drum placed under tile table. 1t
treated all with impartiality. AS the
company dispersed the electric current
set off a novel pyrotechnic display,
amid the crimson glare of which the
festivities ended.-Baltilnore Sun.

The Parent Of Insomnia.

The parent OF insomnia or wakeful-
ness is in nine case out of ten dys-
peptic stomach. Good digestion gives
sound sleep, indigestion interferes with
ii. The brain and stomach sympa-
thize. One of the prominent symp-
toms of weak state of the gastric or
gans Is a disturbance of the great
nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate
the stomach. and you restore equili-
brium to the great centre. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose Is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is
far preferable to mineral sedatives and
powerful narcotics which, though they
may for time exert soporiic int1u-
ence upon the brain, soon cease to act,
and invariably injure the tone OF the
stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary,
restore activity to the operations of
that all important organ, and their
beuefcient influence is reflected in
sound sleep and tranquil state of the
nervous system. A wholesome i'm
petus is likewise given to the action of
the liver and bowels by its use.
