MILITARY TELEGRAPH.
Government Building Lime From Bis
 bee to San Bernardino.

Captain Hare. in charge of detach- ment of about twelve men passed through here the latter part of the week on their way to San Bernardino, eays the Bisbee Democrat, from which place they are to lay out a telegraph line to this city. The Fifteenth infantry of Fort HHachuca, will be over soon and put the line in. The government office at this end will be taken charge of by MT. Stiles in addition to his regular duties. The other end will be looked after by competent government oper- ator.
 General Miles is determined to rid the country of the renegade Indians, and by building this telegraph line seems an easy way by which any move- ment made by them in their redezvous near San Bernaldino can be at cnce sent to headquarters, and the troops be gotten in readiness on short notice.
 The line will mean much to the safe ty of our prospectors and rachmen, and the citizens of Cochise county will appreci- ate the untiring efforts of General Miles in their behalf 2.-t

Won't Work There,

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles. and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
A Gentleman Has a Most Remarkable
 Experience.


 The St. Johns Herald says: Mir. F. w. Adams of Dragoon, had most re- markable experience last Friday. In company with another member of the Wilcox roundup named Frank Will son, he was driving a bunch of cattle along tihe lane near George McKit- tricks at Bonita. A COW had broken out of the herd and MT. Adams had just turned her back and was but a few feet from her when a tremendous bolt of lightning struck the COW dead and 'knocked his horse down. The electric fluid appeared to strike the earth in a mass and exploded, the frag ments flying off in various directions.
 A stifing cloud of sulphurous smoke arose from the spot, enveloping MT. Adams and his horse, but the animal quickly staggered to his feet and bore his rider out of the nauseous fumes.
 MT. Wilson also felt the force of the lightning, being partially stunned, but Mr. Adams, aside from a benumbed sensation in his legs, was unconscious of any injury to himself He rode sev- eral miles after helping to corral the cattle and it was only when he at. tempted to dismount that he discov- cred his legs to be paralyzed.
 He was brought to town the follow ing day and is gradually recovering the use of his legs, but 1t may be some time before he is able to walk. Dr Walter, who has charge of the case hopes for his ultimate recovery.

Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Gents.
 There is postmaster in little town not far distant, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with a view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With a malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get a one-cent stamp here for penny, can't IF" Certainly" said the man at the window. "Then give me one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and were impatiently wait ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer kept on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installmen' plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered te arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Prfvat,
 War Under Elizabeth.


 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had fiocked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- 1ence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled. >'
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or a heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

Sharkey Threatens to Break MT. Cor

DENVER, Oct. 5.-Theodore Brown, of this city, today received a dispatch from James J. Co1ibett to the effect that either of the California clubs having failed to deposit a purse for his fight with Sharkey, the match is off, and he will now make match with Fitzsim- mons as soon as possible. When i'm formed of this, Sharkey, who is here to give an exhibition with Eddy Gal lagher, became very mad and an- nounced that he would break Corbett' S neck on sight. Lynch, .Sharkeys man. ager, says there are plenty of other clubs willing to offer a purse for the fight and he was in correspondence by wire with Corbett, though with what result cannot be learned.
