Polling in the Still Hours
 of the Night.

It is a well known axiom that the Salt River valley is prolific; in fact, can produce anything under the sun indigenous to a semi-tropical zone i; therefore the city of Phoenix was net unduly excited wher, it was noised abroad that genui,4e petrifed man was discovered in the river bottom. Of course the sentiment was divided as to the genulneness of the find, but the stone man remained in evidence and it was anybody's privilege to pay quarter and judge for himself whether he was gazing on the graven image of what YVES once human flesh and blood or the skillful work of a master hand had produced from block of stone the image of man that had every appear anee of having been imbedded in the earth for an unknown period.
 Fertilization is slow process and it takes years under ordinary clrcum- stances to petrify an object, but the waters of the Salt river are so heavily charged with lime that in the case of the stone man discovered by the Bur

Rye Whisky TippIe.

(Which one of the alcoholic liquors is the least injurious for man to drink?' This question was asked Philadelphia physician of recognized eminence. He endeavored to answer it honestly in the light of his large experience; but since both the question and his answer implied that every alcoholic liquor is injurious, nobody who would not wish to inf1ict needless injury upon himself will care to know what was the reply. The doctor, however, told story that is worth more than his answer to the question. When in the west several years ago, the physician spoke to a judge, who has since died, of the con siderable number of rugged old west ern lawyers whose invariable tipple was rye whisky, and raised the ques- tion whether that was not the least harmful of strong drinks.

 There has been something unsatis- factory in the story of the Burnett Bros. that was not altogether consistent in regard to the find of the petrifed man and yesterday the whole scheme was run down by REPUBLICAN reporter.

 There is a we'll in the rear of the house which is dry however ,and the in- mate went over to Mrs. Grav's for drinking water. He was asked by Mrs. Gray on one of his visits if he was any relation to J. k. Burnett and he replied that he did not know the man. This was surprising intelligence to Mrs. Gray for she had seen the expressman drive up to the house several times and it seemed rather odd that they should be unacquainted with each other.
 The house and the occupant re- mained a mystery and on last Tuesday night the express wagon again drove up to the house and after some object was placed on the vehicle it drove rapidly away ard for the balance of that night the usual dull glimmer through the shrouded windows was missed for the inmate remained absent.

The so.called petrifed man, is fraud of the rankest kind and in exposing it a new industry is nipped in the bud.-
 One night about two weeks ago an house on the Cave Creek road and several articles were taken from the wagon and deposited in the house and the wagon then drove off again. The house is situated between the house oc- cupied by the family of John Gray and the Latournette residence, distance probably of 100 yards from either place.
 The place had been vacant for about three months and the curiosity of the neigh bors was aroused as to who could be moving into the house at that hour of the evening. The matter would have been forgotten but for the strange actions of the new inmate.
 On the north side of the house facing the Gray's residence are two windows; large one and small window in the kitchen. The first thing the new ar rival did was to place sheet over the larger window and similar service was done to the smaller window in the kitchen. The windows on the south side of the house were not disturbed the first evening as the inmate evil dently knew that the Latourette family were absent from home, but young man named Cummings, is occupying the house while the family are away which the strange occupant of the mysterious house evidently found out the following day for on the next even- ing sheet was also placed over the win dows facing the south.
 The second night the express wagon again paid a visit to the house and sev- eral sacks and barrels were taken in. side, but they were sufficiently heavy to require the combined efforts of the driver of the wagon and the inmate of the house to unload them.
 That same night Mrs. Gray saw a light shining dimly through the curtain of the window of the center room and heard a continued hammering. The pounding WAS almost incessant and she was kept awake nearly the whole night. The young man Cummings, who was occupying the Latourette residence on the south, also heard the mysterious pounding and his curiosity was aroused. He crawled as near to the house as he possibly could without fear of detec ton and laid down in the grass. He is an observing young man and the strangeness of such proceed ings aroused his suspicious and his first conclusion was that counterfeiting was going on but he was not able to de- termine what was transpiring within on account of the covered window. At intervals the pounding would cease and man with a bucket in his hand would emerge from the rear entrance and proceed to a ditch few yards in the rear of the house and return with the pail full of water then pounding would again resume.
 The next day J. K. Burnett, who did ths previous hauling, again drove up to the house with his express wagon and deposited some boards. Cummings was on hand and asked him what he was doing with the lumber. Burnett replied that they were for the inmate of the house to construct a bunk and

HIoH-AiR GYMNASTICS.
An Aerial Performance Nearly 5000
Feet Above Ground.

The greatest height at which an
acrobatic performance ever took place
was nearly 1900 feet An American
aeronaut Prof. Bartholomew, in 1889
at Melbourne, having assembled by a
balloon to a height of 5000 feet, made
his ascent in a trapeze attached to a
parachute, and during the descent per-
formed a number of acrobatic and
gymnastic feats. A cyclist, some time
since, assembled at Charleroi France,
by balloon in charge OF Capt. Dennis,
to which was suspended his bicycle
He worked the wheels of the machine
as though he were riding along a road
instead of being suspended at height
of about 1900 feet. M. Blondin gave an
acrobatic performance at the crystal
palace, London, in 1862, on a rope 249
yards long, and 172 feet from the
ground. On June 30, 1859. he crossed the
Falls of Niagara on a tight rope in
five minutes; on the Fourth Of July fol-
lowing he repeated the performance
blindfold, trundling a wheeIbarrow
and on Aug. 10 of the same year he
carried a man on his back. On Sept. a.
1850 he crossed on stills in the pres
ence of the Prince OF Wales. His feats
on the tight rope were extraordinary
he walked across enveloped in a sack
made of blanket turned somersaults
and cooked dinner.

Timothy, i have fought a good
fight.
The learned gentleman spoke at
some length Gu what constitutes a
good fight, drawing numerous instan-
ces from history. A good fight. he
said, must be IN the interest of no.
bic cause. The Union soldier fought
a good fight because he defended a
good cause.

past "erc emphasized by narration
of some of the struggles and hard
ships, the trials and sufferings of the
heroes of the civil war and of earlier
times.
Extracts were made from reports as
chaplain of the 9Th Wis, which show
ed the intensity and awfulness of that
regiments fighting in June 1864.
The speaker pointed out some of
the dangers of the times, their inn
mortality and recklessness, and sold:
What we need now is not soldiers but
citizens and christians, In all for
ward movements of the race the re-
ligious motive must be active.
Christianity is essential to the welfare
of society.
