The Fl Paso base ball team warmed the maroon jackets of the Albuquerque base ball team recent ly, in a game played at Fl Paso. Of course, as usual when Albu- querque is beaten at anything, IL Is a put up job-from an Albuquerque stand point. The Democrat has the following concerning it: "The bows have won some games that would be creditable to professionals. They went to Fl Paso in good form, but they bumped up against club the Fl Paso people had got together for the special purpose of defeating the Maroons regardless of expense, and they were beaten, of course"
 The editor of the Phenix Gazette, having discovered that land offices are national institutions, and exist, under government control, in the states as we'll as the territories, now backs down from his former posi- tion, in regard to the motives of the editor of this paper, in telling some plain facts in regard to statehood. He says he never said that United States officers would lose their DO sitions, and then adds: But we i said and still say, that if the terri tory is admitted, and the public lands within her boundaries arr given to her schools, as is asked fol and should be, the editor of thu JouRNAL-MrNER is liable to be Iegis lated out of his job. It seems tha he, and other gentlemen of that ilk are in mortal fear of this, from tn vigorous kick they are making against each and every possibilit, of the change in Arizona affairs So far as the editor of the JouR NAL-MINER is concerned, he does no hope or even ask to be retained il official position until the time whel all the government lands shall b turned over to the state or territor of Arizona. That oposition is
 very nice one, but Utopian in it conception, and certainly has n' dread for any intelligent man, be h officeholder or not.

The Rutland Herald says, the Howe
Scale company is building novelty in
the line of scales. 1t is for an English
duchess who was before her marriage a
leader in New York society. The
scale is of the style known as the "Ver-
mont counter balance" and is to be
used in the bath room of the duchess.
The parts of the scale which are usually
nickeled in the fancy scale of that style
are to be silver-plated, and the whole
scale made as handsome as possible.
1t is thought that when completed it
will be the finest weighing machine ever
constructed.

POLLY IN A CYCLONE.
A Feathered Meteorologist That win
Have q Rosewood Perch.

Have q Rosewood Perch.
Some days ago the daughter of an
old board of trader who lives in one of
those castlelike residences far south ON
Prairie avenue satisfied a passing whim
by purchasing parrot. Now, her IA
ther is man of very few words, but
this fact went for nothing with the par
rot. Before the green and yellow fea-
thered linguist had spent SO much as
forty eight hours amid its new surround
hgs it proved itself able to outtalk the
entire family.
1t demonstrated that it was one of
those takers that insist on having the
last and loudest word at night and the
first and fiercest in the morning. In
fine, the bird was way up in his bust
ness. He seemed to fully and thor
oughly realize that he was born and
bought to talk, and now his one pur-
pose in life was to fulfill his mission.
The old board of trader is kind, in
dulgent father, but he is also one of the
few men in this world who know when
they have enough. Poll was too much.
The daughter taught the bird to say
and do many bright things, and among
others to salute her father with "Ah,
therel How'd you like the weather to-
dayr This somehow proved an addi-
tional irritation to the old gentleman,
but nevertheless he tried to smile and
look pleasant under it.
After enduring the pet beast" for
several days the indulgent parent tried
to coax his daughter to let him take it
down and exhibit it to the boys on
change. Secretly his point was to lose
the parrot en- route. But no, the
daughter was too familiar with the
plucking propensities of her fathers as
sociates to trust her ''sweet darling
Poll' in the pits. Things ran on from
bad to worse, until finally one day
when the market had gone heavily
against him-and that, too, on the
strength of fake cable from Russia
the old man went home at night with
murder in his heart.
Bolting into the house and past his
wife and daughter without seeing them,
he made straight for the conservatory,
where perched the parrot. No sooner
had he thrown open the door of the
exotic retreat than the bird shrugged
himself and cried: "Ah, there How'd
you like the market today"
BLANK you" hissed the old man,
and catching Poll by the legs he swung
him round and round at arms length
about his head a score of times and
then dropped him on the floor for dead.
The daughter and mother having fol
lowed the father on tiptoe stood speech
less, gazing on the exhibition from be-
hind curtains.
Presently the parrot began to show
signs of recovery. He got upon his
feet, wabbled to his pole, and after
dexterous use of his beak and talons he
gained his perch. Then looking about
him in dazed sort of way he shrieked,
"Gee whiz-how the wind blowsp'
Reconciliation between father and
daughter came about amid much
laughter, and Poll gets rosewood

The libel suit of L. P. Norton
against James B. Livingston, editor
of the Bennington Reformer, was also

Bennington, Dec. 14.-Bennington
County court opens again tomorrow
morning. There were GA cases on
the docket, but several of them have
been settled. However, there are
still several important cases to be
tried, one of which the case of State
against James Howard, a general
thief and pickpocket from Massachus-

plate from the house of L. R. Graves,

who committed several thefts about
town just before the centennial. They
stole some overcoats from the Cen
tennial house, but Howard was the
only one caught.
Chief Nash, through another per-
son, got chart of the swamp where
Howard had the silverware hid, and
after several attempts found it. How
ard gave the chart to another fellow
to pawn in Albany and get money to
help him out of Jail. He afterwards
broke away from the judges Office and
tried to escape, but was captured by
Chief Nash after he had been shot at
a couple of times. He has since been
confined in Jail awaiting trial.

crank last week, is likely to recover.
