GRATIFIED CURIOSITY.
The Young Man Pressed the Button and
Put Out the Lights.

Inc 1Oung man SreSSed the sutton an
Put Out the Lights.
A gentleman recently gave a house.
warming party, having just moved into
a new dwelling. A large company was
invited, and the entire mansion was
thrown open to the guests. The house
was modern in its appointments to the
last degree, even to being lighted by
electricity instead of gas
One young man among the guests saw
much to arouse his curiosity and was on
the alert for new discoveries.
A celebrated singer had just taken her
place at the piano, when this young
man. who was standing in the lower
lall near the parlor door, caught sight
of something that looked like black
,ubber button in the center of small
marble disk. What could that be for?
He was so anxious to know that he
could not listen to the singer. says Lon
don Tid-Bits. The crowd was great, and
he felt sure he could examine the curl
osity without being noticed. He passed
his hands over it slyly, touched the rub
Der or metal button with his fingers,
pressed it softly, and on the instant the
parlors and hall were in total darkness.
The song of the soprano ended in a
little shrek, an the air was full of ex-
carnations.
Pray keepperfectly quiet, the voice
of the host was heard saying. 'We will
have lights in moment"
Cropping his way through the crowd,
on their toes, striking against
them and putting his outstretched hands
into shrinking faces, the chagrined host
finally made his way into the hail. felt
along the wall until he touched the
electric button, pressed it and the rooms
were again flooded with light.
The inquisitive young man hadn't
presence of mind enough to hold his
tongue.
"oh, is that what hat thing is for?''
he said. Il didn't know, or I-I-I-
wouldn't have touched it.

Among Our Law. Makers.

PHESIx, ARIz., January 3l.-lFrom our regular correspondent. 1.-The ses- sions thus far have not been marked by any debate or warmth of words, and thus far the only measure of any im- portance to northern Arizona are the Coconino bill and few Acts for aid ing in the building of railroads in the territory (by exempting the same from taxation). Both houses adjourned yes terday, until Monday next.
 Yesterdays mail brought an open | tier from citizens of the new county Of Coconino, protesting against certain of its citizens dictating who the new officers shall be-. It does seem 10 the disinterested, that for the short time from the passage of the bill until their specia' election, they ought to be able to live in comparative peace. But it may not be peace that most of the citi- zensof the new county are after.
 The reception and ball in honor of ous new governor and members of the 18th, was grand success, and reflects creditor its managers.
 The weather here is perfection itself, and l judge that you are having nice weather in Prescott. YAyAPAIAN.

Lottery Mail Matter selz ed |.

CAMDEN, N. J., Jan. 2I.-Postmaster Browning made his thrd seizure to- day of lottery mail mstter addressed to residents of this city. The matter con sisted of about seventy-fye circulars of the Louisiana Lottery Company, stating that a drawing Of the lottery would be held oa the 17th day of February, and that all tickets drawing less than SI 1000 would be cashed at an address in Bos- ton, and those drawing over that amount would be cashed at New Or le ms.
 In accordance with the instructions he has received from Washington Post master Browning forwarded the entire lot to Postmaster General Wanamaker. IN. Y. Sun, Jan. 22d.

 Correspondence. 1.-The legislature Ii
 running along rather smoothly. 4
 number of bille have been introduced of general interest, but the special | efforts SO far of the two bodies have been to get rid of number of territo- rial officials. Zulick, in the council and Parish in the house, are the self. constituted leaders of the democracy. So far, no indications have been shown by the other members to disavow such leadership, but it is generally predicted that crash will come sooner or later, and that the independence of members, superior to them in intelligence, integ- rity and honor, will assert itself.
 The,e seems to be but little differ ence of opinion as to the necessity of abolis hing the offices of commissioner oi immigration and territorial geologist. and sentiment, SO far, seems to favor the proposition to abolish the live stock sanitary commission. The same uns- nimity, however, does not exist in re- gard to the offices of superintendent of public instruction and attorney gene ral, and the different plans suggested to get rid of these officers goes to show that the proposition is entirely of q partisan nature, and not in the inter est of economy in the administration of territorial affairs. This was disclosed largely in the recent discussion on the bill abolishing the offices ot attorney general, where it was shown that it was the man and not the office that the speaker was opposed to.
 The proposition to pay the district attorneys of the various counties extra compensation for performing the du- ties of this office shows belief in the necessity of it, while it certainly would not be in the line of economy to adopt this plan. The salary at present is 2,000 per year. There are now ten counties in the territory, with good prospect of another and possibly two more being created during the session Even with only ten counties the pres ent salary would only allow $200 each to the various district attorneys. and they would certainly not accept the re- spousibiiity for a less amount, so that no saving would be made to the terr = tory by this plan. Another plan was recently formulated which, If carried out, would cost the territory anything from 0,000 to $20,000 with which to pay each distr ict attorney a fee and mileage to attend to cases now looked after by the attorney general. It is, however safe to say that this measure will not carry. It may be simply s coincidence, or it may not be, that six of the ten district attorneys of the ter ritory ale at present in Phenix. Some of them have cases in the supreme court and some of them have none. 1t is to be taken as an accepted fact that none of them would be 90 suicidal, from business standpoint, as to op pose any legislation that would tend to feather their own nests. Oh, no.
 Tie proposition to make the princi- pal of the normal school ex-oficio superintendent of public instruction is on I rar with that sbolishing the office of attorney general, so far as the ques- tion Of economy is concerned. MAX.

Mining intelligence.

Ira Moore returned last evening from visit to Skull valley. While there he visited the recently discovered claim of Joseph Dickson, and says the ore is fabulously rich. The vein is fully three feet wide, and Mir. Moore says that there is no place in it that the ore does not show rich in free gold. The dis covery was made by mere accident. Mir. Dickson was riding the range, when he stopped to cinch his saddle. Seeing piece of brownish looking rock he picked it up and broke it open, when to his surprise he found it full of
 free gold. He immediately located the claim and went to work on it. He has haft down now to a depth of ten feet, and has had good ore all the way.
