A Vegetable Prodigy.

A lady in this city has vegetable that
is growing little out of the ordinary
liue of its production-that is. the leaves
of the plant are hanging inversely on the
stalk. and at the base Of the stalk are
much larger than at the top Of the stalk,
tapcring from apex to base. They hang
dropping, while in the ordinary plant they
stamp erect like the leaves of cabbage
plant. The lady on February 9th pluck
ed small stalk from the side of cabbage
head, and placed it in dish of water, to
adom her dinner table, two Towering
plants adjoining the ends Of the table.
The leaf having been left in the water, in
the dining room, grew into stalk, about
two inches thick at the base. and finely
developed roots formed, thus giving
nourishment to a stalk that has grown
two feet high. The plant blossomed, but
the blossoms developed into inferior seeds.
A little dirt was placed IN the dish con-
tanning the plant after the roots had form
ed. The leaves Of the cabbage may have
grown downward By the attraction Of
grayitation in the water. The stalk is in
the shape of sugar loaf or cone.
No better evidence is wanting Of the
prolific character Of vegetable growth In
this comparatively dry atmosphere; bat
very likely had the leaf been placed in
the ground in the growing season, sab
jeceed 70 the uncertainties Of tho elements,
Il womb have Wjthered and died.

EARLY RAILROAD TELEGRAPHY.
Woodpeckers Were Deceived by the
 Running Noise.

The following story in the Albuquer que Citizen, told by a railroad tel egraph superintendent, illustrates what difficulties were met with in the early days of railroad construction in Arizona.
 Tn Arizona there was sort of a woodpecker that picked the posts ab- solutely to pieces, thinking there were insects inside of the wood. They heard the humming, and didn't have sense enough to know what caused it. Then near the hills the black bears imag- dned tihat each pole contained a swarm of bees, and they climbed Ito the top and chewed the glass insulators to pieces; but the sandstorms were the things that created the most havoc.
 'fWhen the winds blew strongly the sand drifted rapidly and the grains cut away the wood at a fearful rate It was a common timing to have an oak pole worn to a shaving in a days time, while I have seen poles just ground to the surface of the earth during sim gle storm. Things got so bad out there that the company decided to substi- tr1te steel poles for oak and cedar, but that didn't remedy the evil at all The sand just wore away the metal on each side of the pole until the center was as sharp as a razor and all the Indians used to shave themselves on the edge. We finally managed to fix things. Just painted the poles with a soft pitch. The pitch caught the sand and now every pole is about two feet thick and solid as a rock

IT IS TRUE.
A Horses Head Is as Long as a Flour
 Barrel,

It is probable that at first thought most persons would be inclined to doubt the accuracy of tie old saying that a horses head is as long as four bar lei. Floa4 o944els vary somewhat ir length. Some are made stouter and shorter, some slender and a little high CT. An average flour barrel is about 29 inches ill height.
 A man to whom the old saying was familiar made up his mind the other day, says the New York Sun, to see for himself just how near right it was and he measured the heads of three horses. One of these horses was said to have rather a large head for it's size; it wasn't very big horse. This horses head, ex- elusive of the cars, measured 28 inches in length. The heads of the two other horses, which were horses of fair aver age size, with average heads, measured, one, 27 inches, the other 271s inches So that this investigator discovered that the old saying was substantially true.

Any evening in the week drop around to the California Medicine company's stand on the corner of First avenue and Adams street, and see Dr. Berry operate on minor tumors, which he removes with lightning rapidity without pain It is marvellous to see little children submit to operations without wincing; yes, laugh, when if their fathers or mothers were to do half es much they would yell like Comanches.

BRIBE-TAKERS ARE KNOWN.
Attempt of Democrats to Defeat Se-
 crecy in, Voting. m

Some very reprehensible deeds were practiced by Democrats on election day and the matter will be brought be- fore the grand jury One of the meth ods of the Democratic clique was to issue Carbon papers to Mexican voters. The carbons were cut the exact size of the ballots and double impression was obtained. The carbon showed ex- actly how the ballot was voted, and if the X showed under the Democratic vignette the voter received $2. The carbon scheme was practiced mostly in the Third ward, but the judges soon discovered the fact. The carbon mark showed on the back of the ballots. The men who voted the ballots are known
