Libel Suits.

SolilOquizing on the above sub
 Ject Tom Hughes of the Albuquer. que Citizen says:
 Talking about libel suits call to
 mind that the editor of this paper
 has had a great deal of amusement
 and trouble with such suits. In 1872 and 1873 he had three suits. and yet lives to look over the eyi- dence in a reminiscent way. The son of one of the men who then sued us for S10,OO0 came 10 the territory in 1881 with us, and the old gentleman is still alive and a good friend of ours. We had called him the meInest man in the coun- ty m an unguarded moment, aud he thought he had reasons to be ag- grieved. In this terrltcry in 1881. hev. Potter of Socorro, brought a suit against us for Sl0.OO0. Some one at Soc ITO sent up the state ment that Potter had helped hang three men in one night there, and It riled him up. The case never came to trial, and We found on ac- qualntance that Mir. Potter was one of the mildest missionaries the Methodist church had ever sent to the territory, and would not help hang anybody, no matter what the provocation. At present We ara in the tolls ol another libel suit, and nope to convince the plaintiff that the paper has no i'll will against him, and We will try to show that | newspapers publish news without | he least malicious motives.

A Magnificent ExhIbit

One of the most attractive exbib-
 its in the Manufacturers and Lin
 eral Arts building of the Worlds
 Far IS the Arizona petrifed wood
 by Colonel F. C. Hatch. It is to the
 above building what the Ari-
 zona mineral exhibit is to the
 Mines and Mining building
 1t attracts crowd of in-
 terested spectators around it all the
 time. and there is no other single
 exhibit in the building which seems
 to attract as much attention as this.
 Even the wonderful display of dia-
 monds by Tiffany of New York. only
 short distance away did not seem
 to have as many visitors and haye them remain as long as at the petri- he'd wood exhibit. The exhibit con slsts partly of manufactured articles ranging Tn style and price from a Si,0OO mantle down to a six bit watch charm. There are also sec- tons Of trees with one face beauti- fully polished and the other show ing the natural grain of the wood l u" Poiisheu' A large section of a | Tee. some three or four feet lone US external suriece except one side which Is polished, remaining just as lt was found and the interior of if being bored out, forming water cooler, IS among many of the unioue specimens on exhibition. Colonel match has shown great enterprise md taste in arranging the exhibit which may partly account for its liways having large crowd of wis tors. In arranging it he has not orgotten to give Arizona due prom hence for the exhibit. He presides yer the exhibit in person and can 'e found there at all hours giving Information not only concerning etrlhed wood, but concerning Ari7 onas diversified resources gener- fly, and doing it in an as enthusi- stlc and impressive manner as llough he were paid for it, instead spending his own time and loney in making this exhibit and in ttlng forth Arizona's resources.

|. it Another Scheme of yintop-

"The other day MT. Elmer Folliott bought a ticket for Kansas city from the r. X A. C. By, but had to pay his fare on the A. X r. because they refused to honor the ticket. Mir Folliott returned to town, and. 1t is understood, has instructed Mcssrs. Herndon & Norris to sue for SlO.OOO. The reporter has been informed that the suit will be against the directors of the A. X P. individually. under the tenth section of the Inter State l Commerce Act. Courier.
 The fact that Mir. Elmer Folliott has been in the employ of the r. & A. C. railroad has given rise to the suspicion that the fine Italian hand of Arthur Dudley Vinton, attorney, &c.' is in some way con nected with the above transact Color is added to this suspicion from the fact that a rumor was cur rent on the street few days since that five or six suits would be en- tered against the Atlantic X Pacific railroad company by the attorney, &c."
 About four or i've years ago the r. X X. C. railroad company secured a lot ofcoupon tickets, which were offered for sale to different points Tn the United States. They were hoGored for sometime by the A. * r. railroad until financial disagree. ments arose between the two com panies and the latter gave notice that they would thereafter refuse to honor them. No effort was then made by the F. X A. C. company to enforce their acceptance until since the completion of the $. F. r. X r. railroad and the arrival of Arthur Dudley Nlnton, attorney, &c." in | Prescott. Since these two events | there seems to be desire to coerce the A. & r. into accepting their old | coupon tickets which have hung un- used and unofered for sale in case at the depot for four or five years.
 There Is no provisions in the commerce law that com pels railroad to accept the coupon tickets of another road, any more than the law compels bank to pay a check, drawn by party having no deposits in it. A notable in. stance of this kind has occurred re- gently in Illinois in which a railroad became so obnoxious to other roads, in its methods of do- ng business, that its coupon tickets Ire not accepted by any of them. The road is a considerably larger flair than the r. X A. 7. but then Is attorney may not be possessed l 'f such a gigantic intellect as the 1 ttorney &c.' behind the latter. In the above case, had the pro 'osed" plaintiff to this SlO.OOO ! ction, not been working. in har- 2 lony with, not to say under the { dvice of the attorney &c." he -ould, more probably have brought mt against the F. X A. c. railroad 'r having sold him a worthless cket, as he would stand a better Il nance to obtain a verdict in such Q n action, than in the one proposed. |

THE OLD HOME.

Ten thousand blessings crown tn,
 spot,
 Ten thousand longings finger Around that old house marnsd anC
 marked
 By times defacing finger. Long years ago merry crowd Within it's walls assembled; The logs resounded with the noise, The very rafters trembled. Beside that wide and glowing hearth Our evening tasks We mastered, While tre-cast shadows danced and
 played, Where cracks were chinked and
 plastered. Through that low door so oft ajar, In fair or stormy weather, We boys and girls ran gayly out To roam or row together. Through that same door passed
 bride and groom, And through that same sad portal We bore our dead ones when this life Had changed to that immortal. While fathers faltering step grew
 slow, And mothers hair grew grayer, We boys and girls grew on and up And life grew all the grayer The days have passed us, one by one, Grey haired and old they find us. And all those youthful joys so sweet Arc years and years behind us. And yet with fond and loving
 thought Our hearts turn backward often, That youths dear time of dawning
 hopes, Our later cares may soften. And grateful memory paints the
 scene or days long gone and golden, The time, the place, the faces all, The house, time scared and olden.

THE GEARY LAW sUsPENDrD

A telegram from Washington published this morning says: At torney General Olney has ordered United States Marshals to take nc steps toward the enforcement oi the Geary Chinese Exclusion Act pending further instructions"
 The only construction to be placed on such an order is that the Ameri- can people are given to understand that the executive department of the government can, at it's pleasure. overrule the legislative branch thai we have no longer an official known as president, but his title is changed to that of dictator. It is the first time in the history of the country that such a condition has existed. where the executive has attempted to suspend the operation of a law. simply because it does not meet with his approval.
