against his will Saturday, but got the
worst of the bargain. The farmer is an
old soldier, living 10 miles south of this
city, named John Snyder. On Thurs
day one man called and inquired who
the owner was, got a drink of water and
departed. The next day another called
and proposed to make the farmer pres
ent of 100 feet of rod, charging him rs
cents foot for 10 feet and charging him
extra for the necessary points, insisting
that the farmer sign II contract for the
balance. This he refused to do. and the
fellow left. Saturday two more men
drove up to his place, threw out rods
and tools and proceeded to put up the
rods. The farmer objected. hut they
claimed to have an order to do the work
and laughed him to scorn. SNYDER got
his gun, and covering the man in the
wagon, who had drawn revolver, he
ordered him to clear out or he would let
daylight through him. The fellow drove
off at lively rate, leaving his pal at the
mercy of the farmer, who served him in
like manner, and now the farmer has 40
feet of lightning rods to sell.-Warsaw

years agone;
They say tho grass is just as green ozSansAa
shady lawn,
And that the birds as sweetly sin10H 9Gso
waving leaves
AS when we sat together, dear, among tho
golden sheaves.
1t may be so. The bees arc humming,
And the smell of the clover is rare and sweet;
But mem'ry's fingers ut my heartstrinEu
drumming
Wake II song of joy that was too fleet.
The glowing sunshine grows pale around me;
The grass is faded, the bird song faint;
catch not the charm of the scenes that sur
round me,
For thy voice answers not to my hearts lone
plant.
The change is not in the suns bright shining,
The song OF the birds, the hum of the bees:
For the charm of that old time v,as not in re-
Ginning
In the lap of .u.aIner beneath the green
love the bright sunshine, the birds swcetly
singing,
AS sit alone meath the old apple tree;
But wait with fond longing. to dear hopes
close clinging,
That each summer time brings me nearer to
thee.
For the rythm in the melody of that happy
measure
Was the sound of thy voice, to me more than
dear,
And ne'er can life's music so thrill me with
pleasure
Till thy murmurng tones fall again on my
ear.
So trustngly yearn for happy homo COM

rare;
For through tho Elysium 'twoud be weary,

If thou vert not with me its glories to share.

MALICIOUS LIBEL.

The Herald in it's account last night of the Tessie Murray inouest unjustly maligned three professional gentlemen. It published the following list oi wit nesses who testified before the coroner ::
 Dr. Helm, Dr. Ward, Dr. Walsh, Minnie Powers, Mrs, Sinclair. Rose Ames, Mrs, Somers Ruth Reed, A. D, Dow, Bert Hitler, James Rennie, Frank Lessenber, W. Harrison.
 In the course of it's review of the evi- derce the Herald affirms:
 The witness did not remember hearing an explosion. They were all drunk and 1t was a hard matter for them to remember anything except that the girl was on fire,
 No where in the Herald's account does it appear that the Herald does not mean precisely what it said.
 We regret this exceedingly for we know that the three very respectable gentlemen, whose names are at the head of the list of witnesses, were neither drunk nor were they at Minnie Powers place of business, when the fire broke out.
 Perhaps the Herald has been msin. formed. If so. we refer it to our local columns this morning where 1t may learn who was at Mrs. Powers domicile and who the intoxicated persons really were.
 We trust that tonight the Herald will exonerste these maligned gentlemen and that it will comprehend that "the necessity for such correction would call for few words of regret"

THE SOUND OF A SUNBEAM.


A Wonderful Scientific Fact That Was
 Discovered Only short Time Ago.
 One of the most wonderful discoveries in science that has been made within the last year or two is the fact that a beam of light produces sound, says Pearson's Weekly. A beam of sunlight is thrown through a lens on glass vessel that contains lampblack, col ored silk or worsted or other sub- stances A disk having slits or open- ings cut in it IS made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light so as to cut it up, thus making alternate flashes of light and shadow. On put ting the ear to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard so long as the flashing beam is falling on the vessel.
 Recently more wonderful discovery has been made. A beam of sunlight is caused to pass through prism so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum or rainbow. The disk is turned and the colored light of the rainbow is made to break through it. Now place the ear to the vessel con- taining the silk, wool, or other material. As the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it sounds will be given by diff ferent parts of the spectrum, and there

RAILROAD STRATEGY.

A military strategist produced by the late civil war, instructed his soldiers to aim low and hit the enemy in the legs. "A dead man." said he, lis less de- moralizing than wounded man. If dead, no body will pay any attention to him. until the fight is over and your antagonists will, therefore, be reduced in number by only one. Whereas, if he is only wounded, he will be removed from the field and it will take at least two men to carry him away"
 The soundness of this doctrine is ap- parent. but it never occurred to us un- til recently that it was applicable to other than military affairs.
 It has, however, been long applied to the affairs of the Maricopa & Phoenix railroad company.
 It is a well known fact that a railroad ticket cannot be purchased in Phoenix to any point beyond Maricopa by which arrangement or absence of arrangement ladies leaving the city are necessarily accompanied by gentlemen friends who buy their tickets at Maricopa, check their baggage and attend to other de- tails of the dreary midnight transfer. It was supposed that this condition of affairs was simply an exhibition of the public be-damned spirit of the Mari copa X Phoenix management. It ap- pears though that instead of being a passive outrage upon the travelling pub lie it is an active and deliberately planned scheme 10 extort additional and otherwise unnecessary fares from the gentlemen friends of the lady travellers. Ladies who go east or west by the way of Maricopa and pay $2.l0 ! to reach the southern terminus of the Maricopa X Phoenix system are usually accompanied that far by gentlemen who are compelled to pay $4 20 for a return ticket.
 The Maricopa X Phoenix management is military strategist. That's why it is called colonel.

for by the city. To meet this expense it will be necessary to issue bonds which may be disposed of at advan- tageous terms.
 The next most harmful thing to pub lie apathy just now would be prevail ing and preponderating spirit of false public economy.
 If man has gold mine which he knows will yield him millions, from e business point of view he is justified in going into debt for hundreds of thous. ands to develop it.
 All are agreed that Phoenix is a gold mine, therefore let no reasonable ex' pense be spared in it's development.

DO NOT DELAY.

Within month the people of Phe' nix will have either adopted or re. jected the proposed amendments to the charter, though there is really no doubt that the adoption will be agreed upon by an overwhelming majority. The council should then lose no time in taking advantage of the possibilities of- fered by the people, who will thus have sIgnalled the second time to Ego ahead. '" Indeed, even the slightest delay cannot be afforded. By September l the tide of visitors to Phoenix will have set in and we want to have something to show them besides su overgrown village. Many who were here last year will return, bring ing their friends and acquaintances with them and they will stay if it ap- years to them that proper and natural development has taken place since their former visit. In fact, they will expect to see city, and a city can be shown them only by the energetic and combined efforts of the tax payers and members of the council. great deal can be accomplished by many enthusi- astic persons in three months.
 The first, most necessary and most natural thing to be done, is to provide plenty of room. The city limits should be extended as far as will be provided for by the charter, which will admit only the more densely populated addi- tions and which should have been parts of the city year ago. Then im- provements should be ordered, such as the construction of side walks, etc. City parks should De beautified and inn proved.
 Neahr's park is now barren waste, but in three months it may be enclosed and otherwise made to look like park for which it was intended.
 Strangers who were here last year carried away with them correct inn pression that Phoenix was the worst lighted city in the United States. On their return they should be dazzled by electric lights. Arc lights should be generously distributed throughout the city and its present additions. Many of the streets should be graded, paved and otherwise beautifed.
 Of course all this will require money, but it will be impossible to use it ex- travagantly or throw it away. Every dollar will be profitable investment to every man who owns foot of property in the city and thereby becomes a con- tributor to the grand municipal enter prise. Many of these provements, such as sidewalks, paved streets, etc., will necessarily be paid for by the prop erty owners more directly benefited by them, but others of a more public and general character will have to be paid

will be silence in other parts.
 For instance, if the vessel contains red worsted and the green light flashes upon it loud sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard if the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors make no sound at all Green silk gives sounds best in a red light.
 Every kind of material gives more or less sound in different colors and utters no sound in others.
