SAYS the Examiner: The Demo- cratic party has heard from the peo- pie once more, and the message is a plain one. The people who voted for Cleveland because they wanted tariff reform have shown their dis approval of his neglect to carry out his platform pledges, and the peo- pie who want the old order man. tained have gained heart by the Presidents cowardice. The friends of bimetalism have resented Cleve- lands domineering policy, and the masses have shown that though the classes may have the ear of the President the people have the votes.

This winter an attempt will be made to have the government aid in the construction of dam in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. The framework of the proposed dam will be of steel, so shaped that the greater the pressure against it may be, the more solid it becomes. Above this framework of steel will be filling of boulders. A fall will be thus created that will give en- ough power in the shape of turbine wheels to pump out body of wa ter sufficient to irrigate the Walla- pal and Sacramento valleys in Mo- have county, Aubrey valley in Co., conino county, Chino. Williamson, Kirkland and other valleys in Ya- vapai county and thence on south to the vicinity of Phoenix. The great cactus plain west of Wicken- berg can also be irrigated from this same source of supply. No one need ever fear that the supply of water would give out, and soon everybody will recognize the fact that the Colorado will be the source of all irrigation enterprises i'll Ari- zona in the future.

The Tucson Enterprise speaking of the cattle industry of Arizona, present and future, uses the follow ing language; Such cattle as left Arizona within the last three years were not in a condition to produce a very favorable impression upon experts who saw them because they were shipped to pastures new, in more favored sections of the Paci- fic coast where the unprecedented drouth which had struck the terri tory was unknown, Tn order to save them from starvation. But this season the condition of things is fortunately entirely different. The thousand of fat kline of which ship ments now consist tell quite diff ferent story, one which cannot fail to impress buyers with the superi- ority of the ranges of the territory, in years when the rainfall is above the average. Seasons of drouth are the exception, but it cannot be denied that the weather clerk gave us a very black eye that took more than two years to bleach. Now, however, the spell is broken and the cattle industry looks hopefully to an era of prosperity.

He has heretofore never sold his clip for less than 16 cents per pound, and oftener at 20 and 9 cents, delivered at the depot. The price received by him this season was for the clip delivered in east ern market, and from 10 cents per pound must be deducted freight, storage, insurance and shrinkage. The sale of the wool netted the grower less than one cent per pound.

The PeDper o

Some years ago an Englishman who
had been a resident of Gui' a returned
to Southampton. Scarcely d he got
well inside the portals of his . otel than
he incontinently asked for pepper pot.
He had learned to love the dish during
his sunland exile. His requests were in
vain, not only in Southampton, but in
London, and his importantly astonished
the walters as much as that of young
Twist surprised the famous Bundle.
"Then," said he at last in despair, Il
will go back" and he returned to Deme-
ara by the next Royal Mail boat.
1t is further related of a respected old
~colonist, a native of Britain north of the
Tweed, that he was able, through the
intelligent devotion of his cook, to main
tain a pepper pot for years. A new cook
arose, unhappily, who scarcely grasped
the extent OF his masters partiality for
this peculiar and perennial dish. He
stole the floating ingredients and de-
stroyed the pepper pot. As a result, the
hardy Scot nearly succumbed to an apo
plectic attack. When he was sufficient
ly recovered, he had no mercy on his
faithless servant, who had committed a
sin locally objectionable. These anec-
dotes, which hail from the home of the
pepper pot, serve to show that it is held
in no common esteem. - Gentleman's
Magazine,

NOrlI'S Fair Box Parties.

Nearly every train that goes out Of this
city for Chicago has several 'box par
ties on board. These are entirely diff
ferent from the box parties at theaters,
but have been christened by the train
hands with the same name. They are
little groups of people bent on taking an
economical glimpse of the great exposi-
ton, and who, in order to cut down their
expenses to the lowest notch, have had
packed at home boxes Of luncheon of suf-
fcient magnitude to last during the trip.
At each meal hour the members Of the
box parties draw these boxes from under
the seat or sit in groups with their
luncheon on their knees and chat as con-
tentedly as if they were at a gorgeously
appointed hotel. Sometimes an exchange
is effected of a boiled egg for a tomato or
a bit of fruit for some ham, and the fell
low who has had the forethought to bring
a few bottles of beer is a prime favorite
with the other Observation-Disclosures
Record.

Immigration Diverted TO anada

The rigid inquiries now instituted at
the ports of the United States to keep
undesirable immigrants out of the coun-
try are likely to divert immigration into
Canada, where it is welcomed, and the
minister of the interior is already re-
joicing in the prospect Of increased pop
ulation. What is chiefly interesting to
an outside observer is that countries
which do not generally export their citi-
ems are now beginning to do so. France,
for instance, is contributing settlers, not
toQuebec, which is already fully stocked,
but to the northwest territories, and
Dutchmen are beginning to flow into
Manitoba. 1t is less satisfactory to find
that Cinnamon continue topass over into
British Columbia, though eventually
they are certain to be swamped there

A Curious Optical Phenomenon.

A correspondent Of Nature at Chris
tiania gives an account of a very curious
phenomenon witnessed from the top of
Gausta mountain (height 5000 Norwe-
gian feet in Telemarken, south of Nor
way. eve were a party Of two ladiea
and three gentlemen on the summit o.
this mountain on Aug. 4. On the morn
ing of that day the sky was passably
clear; at noon there was q thick fog.
Between 6 and I o'clock in the afternoon
(the wind being south to southwest) the
fog suddenly cleared in places SO that
we could see the surrounding country in
sunshine through the riffs.
We mounted to the Flagstaff in order
to obtain a better view of the scenery.
and there we at once observed in the
fog, in an easterly direction, a double
rainbow forming a complete circle and
seeming to be 20 feet to 80 feet distant
from us. In the middle of this, we all
appeared as black, erect and nearly life
size silhouettes. The outlines of the
silhouettes were so sharp that we could
easily recognize the figures of each other,
anu every "OVeulcuC was reproduced.
The head of each individual appeared to
occupy the center of the circle, and each
of us seemed to be standing on the inner
periphery of the rainbow. We estimated
the inner radius of the circle to be six
feet.
This phenomenon lasted several min
utes, disappearing with the fog bank to
be reproduced in new fog three or four
times, but each time more indistinctly
The sunshine during the phenomena"
seemed to us to be unusually bright.
MI. Kielland- Torkildsen, president of
the Telemarken Tourist club, writes to
me that the builder of the hut on the top
of Gausta has twice seen spectacles of
this kind, but in each S it was only
the outline Of the mountain that was
reflected on the fog. He had never seen
his own image, and he does not mention
circular or other rainbows."

Strange Human Antipathies.

Amatus Lesitanus relates the case of a
monk who would faint on seeing a rose,
and who never quilted his cell at the
monastery while that flower was bloom
ing.
Orfla tells how Vincent, the great
painter, would swoon upon going into a
room in which roses were blooming,
even though he did not see them. Val
taid tells Of IN army officer who was
frequently thrown into violent convul-
sions by coming in contact with the
little flower known as the pink.
Orfla, our authority ON the case of
Vincent, the painter above related, also
tells of the case of a lady 46 years of age,
hale and hearty, who. if present when
linseed was being boiled for any purpose.
would be seized with violent fits of cough
ing, swelling of the face and partial
loss of reason for the ensuing "a hours.
Writing of these peculiar antipathies and
a%versions, Montague remarks that he
has known men of undoubted courage
who would much rather face a shower
of annon balls than to look at an apple!
In Zimmerman's writings there is an &C
count of a lady who could not bear to
touch either silk Or satin, and who would
almost faint if by accident she should
happen to touch the velvety skin of a
peach.
Boyle records the case of a man who
would faint upon hearing the ''swish' of
a broom across the floor, and of another
with natural adherence for honey.
Hippocrates of old tells of one Nicanor
who would always swoon on hearing the
sound of q flute.
Bacon, the great Englishman, could
not bear to see a lunar eclipse and al
ways completely collapsed upon such oc-
c%asions, and Vaughelm, the great Ger.
man sportsman, who had killed hun
dreds of wild bears, would faint if he but
got a glimpse of a roasted pig.

A Cyclone Story,

One of the most peculiar results of a
cyclone can be seen in east Jacksonville.
A large oak tree was twisted by the
force Of the wind half way round, yet
remained upright, and there are no
splits OF cracks visible upon its surface.
This in itself would not be SO peculiar
were it not for the fact that the tree still
stays in its new position, and the limbs
which were previously on the west side
are now on the east. The body Of the
tree is probably split, so that it will
eventually die, but the bark seems to
have remained unbroken and intact, and
therein lies the peculiarity.-Florida
Times-Union.

Wartime Shinplasters just Redeemed.
During war times the municipality of
Albany issued on its own credit fraction
al currency redeemable on demand at the
city treasurer's or chamberlain's office.
Most Of the fiat money was redeemed
within the five years subsequent to the
end Of the war, and during the seventies
the chamberlain would be called upon to
change a few coins. 1t was believed that
all had been taken W.
Yesterday, however, Chamberlain Hills
was visited by two young ladies who
showed him a quantity of the currency
issued in 1862 and asked him what it was
worth. To the chamberlain's questions
as to how it had come into their posses
sion the elder replied that in looking
over the effects of a relative lately de-
ceased it was found stored away in an
old box along with many war curios.
Mr.. Hills promptly handed over the
counter in good bills the face value of
the money, between $25 and $50.
A singular coincidence connected with
the transaction was that Chamberlain
Hills himself paid out the currency re-
deemed yesterday to the original owner
over 80 years ago.-Albany Journal.
