A SHARP VALET.

Ran the Risk of Being Called Thief to
SSaye His Masters Money.
Many amusing stories are told about
Monte Carlo, but the majority are
such old-timers that it is hardly safe
to repeat them. One, however, has
only been told me once this winter, so
it may be new, writes "a correspondent
from the famous gambling resort. 1t
is reported that "A poor young Aus
trian nobleman came here last winter
accompanied by his valet. He hur-
ried to the Casino directly from the
train, taking with him 5000 francs,
all the money he had in the world.
He played for high stakes, and from
the first luck ran in his favor When
the place closed, he carried to his
room 0,000 francs in winnings. 1t
would have been small sum to a
rich man, but it was fortune to him.
He was so nervous and so afraid Of
being robbed that he asked his valet,
who was an old and trusted family
servant, to occupy the same room
with him that night, told him eX-
actly how much money he had made,
and even counted it over in his pres
ence, SO that his valet might be able
to swear to the amount, and then
showed him where he put it. When
he rose in the morning he found that
his valet was already up and gone, and
with him had gone the $4,000 francs
he had won and the 5000 francs Of
hic nrinin nj nit - hnlu IL
sum was left-enough to enable him
TO pay his hotel bill and expenses
home. AS soon as he was dressed the
young nobleman rushed half-distracted
TO the bureau Of the local police and
sent out general alarm, but up TO
nightfall nothing was heard of the
fugitive, and it was the opinion Of
the authorities that he had got away
The next morning the nobleman de-
termined to return home and prose-
cute his inquiries there. AS he
stepped aboard the train dispatch
was handed to him. He opened it
mechanically and read: "Your valet
here with $4,000 francs he says be-
longs to YOU" 1t transpired after
ward that the valet had lain awake
half the night thinking over his young
masters success. He felt certain that
on the morrow the young man would
attempt to increase his winnings, and
Athat he would lose all as the other
players did. He therefore determined
to run the risk Of being taken for a
thief, got up and dressed himself,
took the money and left by an early
train, turning over the money on his
arrival to the young mans father.

While in the northwestern PARTON
of the United States, and throughout
all that section OF America lying west
of the Mississippi River, the fall OF
1891 was one OF unusually dry
weather, reports from the Spanish

which whole villages and towns have
been destroyed, the crops rhine and
hundreds Of lives lost.

says the Chicago Graphic, like those
Of the United States since last
autumn, have been unusual. While

The Algerian Locust.

The following letter from a CORE.
spondent in Algiers, has been re-
ceived; At last the locusts have ar.
rived. For some time past they have
more or less been ravaging the Prov.
ince OF Algiers. One fine morning on
rising we found them in our midst.
L cannot better compare the sight
than to n fall of snow; the snowfakes
were locusts buzzing about in the
bright sunlight. They were disagree
ably numerous, invading your rooms,
if the windows happened TO be open,
and Ticking you in the face and drop
ping down your neck while out walk
ing. The children amuse themselves
with catching them, attaching a
string to their legs, and are much de-
lighted with these playthings; others
weave them into long garlands. The
Arabs are more practical. Taking of
the head, legs, and wings, they boil
them with salt, and then regale them
selves TO their hearts content.
Coming out forty days after the
eggs are laid, they grow with amazing
rapidity, and devour every green
thing that comes in their path. This
happens in the hopping" stage, be-
fore they develop their wings. 1t
may be interesting to state that each
female locust lays ninety eggs. The
eggs are searched for and gathered
wherever possible, the government
paying a certain sum for every sack.
When the young locusts are Matched
a general struggle ensues for their de-
struction. A Cypriote apparatus,
which is simply hetlge of cloth two
or three feet high, is stretched across
the infected district, before which a
ditch is dug. The young locusts are
then stirred up by beaters-Arabs as
q rule-whO are furnished with sticks
and brushes. The insects hop and
hop till they come to the cloth
barriers, against which they strike
and then rebound into the ditch, and
are there destroyed. When the locusts
have reached the wing stage they are
driven off from the places where they
happen to alight by the beating OF
tom-toms, the discharge of guns, and
fire and smoke. Many are driven by
the wilma into the sea.

There is On exhibition in New York
a species Of the rare moon flower
whose existence was supposed to be
mythical. 1t was obtained from an
Indian who found it growing in q

forest, and is the only specimen which
has ever reached this country alive,

bearing here and there n milk white
blossom of a disk-like shape.
When the moon is at its first quar-.
terra distinctfhadow or stain Of a deep
yellow, which seems rather in than
out Of the flower and corresponding
to the shape Of the moon, makes its
appearance on this disk, and grows
as the planet does, until, when at its
full size, the yellow stain covers the
entire flower. AS the moon begins to
wane again this retreats in the same
ratio, and finally disappears altogeth-
er, to return once more as the new
moon Is seen TO come back.
When the planet sets, the flower
closes and does not unfold until the
moon rises on the following night.
1t pursues this course month after
month whether placed i'm the open air
or kept in a dollhouse, though under
the latter circumstance the yellow
tint is much paler and more unde-
cided, while the white surface takes

plant subsists almost entirely on air,
its roots being barely covered with q
little moist gravel.

death was slow and gradual in that
dreadful night. Whole families
persisted together; in one house TWEEN
ty-eight persons were drowned. In
the morning, where the town had
been there was dirty yellow lake,
with the roofs and tottering walls of
a few houses yet standing, and with a
raging current that bore down masses
of wreckagc and dead human bodies

other animals. The destruction OF

UPON most reliable authority it is learned that the Catholics, as a class, took part in the late political election in and around Prescott and against the Republican ticket. Among the active workers, and strange as it may appear, was General w. o. O'Neill, late Ad- jutant- General, and now recently ap- pointed on the Board of Managers of Arizona to the Worlds Fair. The Governor is unfortunate in his selec- tions to this board. In justice to his own party as we'll as to himself, Cover nor Irwin should ask the resignation of both Brown and O'Neill. It is said that O'Neilps fight was directed especially against Hon. Frank Murphy, than whom there is no better man in this Territory or one who has done more for the good of Arizona. His defeat is disgrace to Yavapai county and the action of the Prescott Catholics is another blot against this religion as a sect, or goes far to lend character to the many charges made against them. Put them out, Governor.

! OUR obstreperous but nevertheless highly esteemed contemporary, the Ecening Twilight, takes issue at this joUInal's position on certain questions of moment, and likewise objects to being classed among the newspapers" who have he backbone to maintain their rights! Fear not, contemporary, you were never charged with being a newspaper, or with having backbone either. If you were the public would refuse to believe it. Such criticism as the EUsniHg TwiligM indulged in, how ever come in mighty poor grace from an institution which has spent the bet p art of it's career in abusing Republican officials. So far as THE REPUBLICAN's position is concerned on the printing or any other question which effects the public interest, it will not be slow in ex- pressing itself and will not wait for in- spiration, like the moribund organ over the way. There are great many things which selfrespecting newspapers will not submit to, and paper in which this quality is represented by vacuity, cannot be expected to appreciate the nicety of distinctions.

A NEW DISCOVERY

It is always hard to make people be- lieve that you have the best, especially when the article is a newly invented one. They will look upon all proposi- tions made with suspicious eye; but l trust they will give careful considera- tion of the proposition 1 am about to make. intend to show the people of this Territory the only road to prosper ity. l do not wish to show that State hood will alone develop the resources of this glorious country. but l contend, and do so not because am now person. ally interested in this question, for be- came interested because 1 saw the ad- vantages and necessity of going into this business, but because honestly be- lieve that the future prosperity of this Territory depends upon the reclamation of the desert lands by windmills. 1 know what l say because 1 practice what I preach. California today is what she is on account of windmills giving her "the start in life." The Ermotor is the latest improved mill and shows an increase of thirty-tive per cent in power over any mill manufactured. It is simply wonderful machine and performs wonders. For instance, l6- foot Ermotor is equal-and is guaran- teed to be soto any 24-foot wheel made, and at an elevation of say thirty feet will work two good eight-inch pumps, which will throw 5000 gallons of water per hour. This means l92, ,0Q0 gallons per day, and if you have a large reser- voir you can let the mill run night and day. One hundred and ninety-two thousand gallons of water would irrigate ten acres of fruit trees per each tariff. Think it. Do not doubt this statement, for will sell my mills with this guaran- tee. 1 know the Ermotor will do it, and if it don't you are under no obliga- ton to take the same. also guarantee that l6-foot Ermotor will work four inch pump 800 feet deep. Cattlemen! this deserves your careful consideration, for you can save immensely by putting in. an Ermotor, and use your steam pumps in cases of emergency. The Ermotor will pump 1000 feet.
