Variesie. of Base DaiI.

On the Fourth we had ball game, They called us Tombstone Dagos, We'll let them know before we go, That we can beat the neagroes. When Captain Hawke went to the bat The neagroes crowed like roosters, And Tapped their wings, and of they flew,
 And caught the ball at Shuster's. Then Scotty Garrett to the bat,
 The sun shone down to blind him; 1; Before he got his bat around,
 The ball was far behind him. He rested on the plate his bat,
 While the pitcher was a twisting; Then swift and hard the ball did go, And on the ribs it kissed him. Then Fred Adsir came to the bat, To the pitcher he made mention: "Just throw me one Huachucs curve, And I'll knock it down to Benson" The colored folks all ran around
 While the ball was sailing inland, And cried "Who's thereS" Why, Fred Adair,
 The champion Of Oakland. Then came Fred Hawke up to the chalk,
 With his bat he made a swagger:  "I could knock this ball clear out of sight
 If had glass of lager" And then the kids began to shout "Now. Freddie, you're a daisy. You could knock it down to China town,
 If you were not so lazy" Then came Kirlew, he's always true, He is little masher; And with the bat he gave a sIst
 And knocked them out siasher. He made his first and second base, And stole his third quite handy; When Fred Adsir jumped in the air, Singing Billy, you're a dandy" Then went Fred Thomas 10 the bat, It was his strongest notion To make the first and second base While the ball was in comm0tiOn. He looks around for Captain Hawke, "Why are you back there poaching? I co1ld have made the initial bag If you had been a coaching" Then with Frank Graf, they had
 laugh,
 He caused a great sensation. "With his four eyes" the pitcher cries, "P1l take an observation" He swung the bat around his head At the pitchers invitation, It's no trick at all to hit ball
 With college education. Then, Johnnie Waters to the bstp That is the scorers daty, And with a scientific lick
 He sent them out beauty. He knocked it straight up in the clouds,
 And the colored troops did hover. The bail came down with such force It kDocged trooper over Then came old splatter to the bat, Then in the negroes section, Look out for splat. the Democrat. For it's coming near election" And at the ball he made one swipe And knocked them out rover. Yes, that's old splat, the Democrat, And his message back to Grover.

JUST at this time, when the free wool bill is pending in the House. says the National Democrat, and when the Republicans are pretend ing that the Mckinley bill was a great blessing to the sheep owners, and that free wool would ruin them, it is an opportune time to recall the fact that last summer Mir. Dolan, President of the Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia. and the per sonal and political friend of MT. Wanamaker, said this in letter published in the New York World l: "It is an interesting fact, deserving much emphasis of statement, that the prices of wool are lower now than they were one year ago. This decline was distinctly promised by protectionists during the discussion which accompanied the framing of the Mckinley tariff" So, accord ing to this eminent Republican au- thority the wool schedule of the Mckinley bill was arranged for the purpose of reducing the price of wool, result which has undoubt- edly been accomplished. This is worth the attention of the sheep owners.

The Boundary line, between Mex leo and the United States has long been a vexed question, for this req son. By the treaty of 1S48 the deepest channel of the Rio Grande was to be the boundary; and there, in lies the difficulty. As an instance of it: In 1888 the river ran through the ceEtre of what is now Fl Paso and where was then the main chan nel of the stream now stands, among others, the Opera House. 1853 found the river one-third of a mile away, towards Mexico, and it has continued to recede, in that vi- cinity until, now there is a strip of land half a mile wide, and a mile and half long, on which are many and valuable improvements; the land being, of course claimed by Americans, as land on their side.
 During the last two years the river has been wearing back, to it's old channel assisted say the Fl Pasoites, by the work, of Mexican engineers-and so the story goes, and feeling runs high, and every body agrees it is high time it was settled once for all-before nation al trouble grows from present per- sonal feelings. - Nogales Adyer- tiser.

The Mexican government has given formal notice that all Ameri- can cattle grazing on Mexican soil must be driven across the line be- fore April 10th, otherwise they will be seized and sold for duty. This law has been in existence for a year or more, but has not been strictly enforced. during that time. The cattlemen are hard at work remov- ing their stock, and the greater part will be driven across before the limit. Stockmen owning land in Mexico are exempt from the pro- visions of the law. The enforce ment is causing the cattlemen con- siderable trouble and annoyance. but the custom house officials at Palomas are obdurate. Commenting on ihe above the Prospector says nothing could be learned from cat tlemen in Tombstone regarding the order; they have received no notice from the authorities, althou gh it may come.-Deming Headlight.

The S.P. Engineers.

John Jackson, who came in yes terday from Big Bug, states that the engineer party of twenty-six men of the Southern Pacific company are in camp at Rumble Bee, but will probably move this way eight or ten miles in a day or two. Mr. Jackson spent two days with the party on their way through Black Canyon, and learned from them that they were obtaining a better route than they had expected, although there will be some very heavy work. There are eleven bridges on the route as far as surveyed, and in
 coming through the Black Canyon country there is one tunnel 600 feet in length. The party is driving per manent stakes for the locating of the road, so that their progress is comparatively slow, having in many cases to run from three to five pre- liminary lines before suitable one is secured. At Antelope hill three tunnels and one very deep cut will be required. In the preliminary
 line run the heaviest grade encoun- tered was between the Big Bug smell ter and the AguaFria divide, there be- ing a rise there of 360 feet in two miles with almost a similar grade to drop down into the Agua Fria valley. On the permanent location of the line, however, Engineer Edes hopes to overcome this somewhat. The preliminary survey as made leaves Prescott off the line, as a con- nection is made with the P. & A. c. railroad at Jerome Junction. En- gineer Edes says that the first forty five miles of the line out of Phe nix can be graded from $500 to $750 per mile. He states that he has no information whatever in regard to the matter of construction of the road. A daily report of the work performed by his party is made to the company.-Journal-Miner
