SOUTH SEA LEGENDS OF FIRE
Whale and an Air Dragon Each Believed to Have Originated Flame.

The South Sea Islanders tell curi- ous story of the origin of fire. If they are to be believed, says the St. Louis Republic, they came in possession of that useful element in the following manner: A great whale was once washed ashore upon one of their islands during the prevalence of a terrible hur- ricane. The monster became entan- gled in a grove of yellow trees Ia spe- cies of evergreen whose branches easily ignite), and, while gnashing his teeth in his impotent rage, struck off a spark which lighted the grove and consumed both trees and whale. Fires which are said to have been perpetuated since the day of the great whale fire" may yet be seen burning in many parts of the ! island.
 Another fire legend, believed in by the inhabitants of the islands to the north of the ones in which the great whale fire is preserved, is to the effect that great air dragon (probably light ning) breathed upon tallow tree and set it's branches on fire. From the coals left from this fire they learned of its great value, and have ever since used the element for domestic purposes and in their religious ceremonies. They also have a tradition that the time will come when the dragon will return for the fire, and that no man will be able to withstand him and save the sacred spark except he be a person born with pink eyes, fair skin and white hair. For this reason the birth of an albino is always hailed as a good omen, and his or her person guarded with jealous care, so as to preserve life to it's utmost limit. Marionette mentions seeing a fire god" or fire guard" (albino) while on his visit to the islands, who was be- lieved to be at least one hundred and fifty years old, and who had always been provided for by the tribe.
 Raffinesque, who made South Sea Island myths and legend a study for years, is of the opinion that the return of the dragon for his fire is symbolic ot death and the flight of the spirit.

More FrilIs Than Comfort.

''If they make my home much more attractive and comfortable" said MT. Glimmerton, -'I shall have to leave It altogether. They have taken there lately to making sofa and chair cush- ions of lovely materials, and very soft and comfortable, which they scatter around on the chairs and sofas, but it seems that these are for visitors only and to look at; they are not for mem bers of the family. If l forget and sit down on one of them I hear Mrs. Glim- merton or Miss Glimmerton say: 'Oh- don't do thatr and then they come and pat it and smooth it and fix it over again, but I know that its invitation IS not for me"

Resiguation of Leo Goldschmidt.

Below we publish the reasons of MT. Leo GoldschmIdt for declining 8 place on the republican legislative ticket. These reasons as may be seen are of a purely business character. It is to be regretted that he could not see his way clear to the retention of his name on the ticket as he would certainly have been elected. Aside from that important fact the interests of Pima would have ably represented. NJ. Goldschmidt is & business man and i5 fully conversant with all the wants and requirements of the county and would have done good service in her behalf.
 TUcsoN, Ariz., Sept. II, 1894.
 CHARLES T. CORNELL, Chairman, Republican, County Central Committee Pima county.
 Dear sir:
 While profoundly grateful for the mark of confidence, and fi4ttered by the honor conferred on me l regret that my business is such that 1t wIll not be possible for me to accept the Eomina- tion for the house of rep: esentatlves that the Republican County convention of Pima county so kindly rendered me yesterday. Had l been present al the convention, at the time my name was presented, would have immedial eiy presented my reasons for declining, and my excuse for this slight delay lies in the fact that l have been seeking some means by which ny business interests might not suffer too much by my acceptance of this nomination, but am finally forced to the conclusion that it will not be possible for me to absent myself from it the length of time that would be required to make the canvass of the county, and l would fee that Twas betray ing the confidence o my many friends in the convention were l to accept the trust, knowing a the same time that 1 would not be a ble to fully carry out the obligation iti acceptance imposes, enc of which Ger t8inly would be an earnest effort tt justify the hopes Of the Convention b! doing:everyihing ossible to promote,m, election.
 And in the event the prestige of tn, party, assisted by my own feeble effort should bring me success, the duties O the position would again take me awa- from my business that requires my con stant care and attention.
 In conclusion, I trust and believe tha 1 may be able to be of some service t the party and shall lose no opportunit to prove myself worthy its confidence.
 Respectfully,
 LEO GoLDsCHMIDT.

An UncannY Bird.

One of the most fantastic birds is the laughing owl of Florida and some other southern parts He sits well up in a tree late at night and emits a se- ries of loud, strange ha-has that sound like half-human laughter. The sound is sufficiently terrifying to a nervous camper unacquinted with the habit of the bird, though less gruesome than the unearthly call of the Chesapeake loon. heard at all hours of the night along the shores of that bay.

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM GEORGIA

The news from the Georgia election
is grand. It will send cheer to the
hearts of millions of reformers through
out the land. But at present there is
a mixture of uncertainty. The cleo
ton was held Wednesday, October
Sd. Ordinarily full returns ought to
be in. The vote is so close that the
returns r being held back and doc
tored. Thursday morning the papers
announced under faring headlines
that the Democratic majority was
estimated at about so, 900. Later dis
patches in the same papers claimed
40, 900 and then 80, 900. Friday morn
ing only n or two papers published
any news from there, ali the others
s~uppressing it. These kilograms said
from 10000 to 30, 1000" Saturday
none of them published any news-a
splendid sign. Saturday night some
INSCRIPTIONS newsmonger sent out a
dispatch claiming 26, 200.
The latest reliable news we have is
that the official returns from 80 coun-
ties give the Democratic nominee. At
kinsOn, 5000 majority. The AZ coun-
ties not heard from are believed to be
for the Peoples party nominee, Judge
Hines. and may give him a majority.
The Peoples party is certain of sixty
members of the legislature, and if the
counties in which the returns are being
held back went for Hines the PEOPLES
party may have a hundred members,
To wipe out the 70, COO majority of two
years ago is a grand victory for the
Peoples party, even if the Democrats
succeed in counting in their man for
Governor. 1t is a rousing victory and
will aid and encourage our people in
every State. Democrats are doing all
they can to suppress the news, and the
official returns will not be opened until
the legislature meets on the oath. But
we can give pretty definite news bv
next week. The citizens or PEOPLES
party ticket in Atlanta. voted for on
Inc same day, won, electing 80 out of
80 aldermen. Thus the back bone of
the greatest Democratic State in the
South Is broken and it will never re-
cover. Right will triumph Let the
good news spread far end near.
