Horses are selling dirt cheap in Apache county-4 per head.

the proper things nOWauays' AH0 bloomer's day is fading.
 England favors free trade and a gold standard. Cleveland's policy is exactly on the same line.
 Whenever it rams in London now adays the Wall street goldbugger turns his trowsers up at the bottom immediately on receipt of the news.
 Chicago sets the pace for bloomer styles. Bloomer balls originated there and now a bloomer wedding has just taken place, the bloomer couple taking their bridal trip on bicycles.
 Ex-Congressman "Bill' Bryan has lost another handful of his tail feathers. Gov. Holcomb has them. If Bill" doesn't have better luck he will soon be liable to arrest for in decent exposure.
 The securing of juror now and then in the Durrant case seems to be relished as much nowadays by the public as an individual whoops 'em up over catching the capital prize in a bunko lottery game.

 Texas democracy is out in a wild and woody platform. They say that they don't want Cleve any more, don't want any of his d-d policy, and furthermore, don't want any nominees in the coming convention that favor him personally or pOliti cally. Selah!
 A young Prescott lady now away on a vacation has fatly and imper tinently at that, refused .the titled hand of an English "Chollie" boy. Arizona girls have the nerve after all. A testimonial for the young lady's grit and judgment in the shape of big gold mine should be raised at once.

 A Imaginable feature of all the political conventions is the "half and haIf' method our modern states men handle the spells of their call ing, for instance, the gold buggers endorse Cleveland and send a yellow metal platform to their countrymen, while on the other hand, the silver men get in their work by scooping all of the nominations.
 The sum of S6O,OOO was raised the other day at Maine camp meeting for some missionary work in China and Japan. From the lively man. her some of our missionary disciples have to burn the earth in order to escape with their lives over there, it would be we'll to equip the next batch of missionaries with a small gunboat and plenty of ammunition out of the last subscription raised
 The petrifed man recently found at Phenix has been robbed of all its mystery. The Gazette has held a post mortem examination on it and at the inquest following, a verdict was rendered that the mummy was one of the numerous "new gover- nors" of Arizona, so recently manu- factured by the governor making machine of Pheni1. It is expected that more petrifed men will be found soon as there are several ''new governor" yet unaccounted for
 Several Arizona sheets and many cancerous politicians who didn't catch on last November, are footing away over the county classification act behind a valid one. If big and bare steal of the entire revenues of the territory was about to be consu- mated, these self same individuals would be crawling into their holes and then try to stop all means of communication with them or the outside by pulling the holes in after them.
 The gasoline stove is again at its deadly work, Hswaiians are bluffing Grover Cleveland with annexation taffy, the silverites and the gold buggers are viciously engaged in chewing each other to pieces, an- other honest man has been found in San Francisco to sit on the Durrant case, and in the face of all these i'm portant dolngs of a day throughout the nation, new governor for Ari- zona has uot been incubated in the Phenix sun for at least ten days.
