Had It Ills Own Way.

There was an old gossip in town where the Saunterer was summering, and her doings-or sayings rather had aroused the anger of one of the boarders. Seeking revenge, he de- termined to frighten the old lady "deaf and dumb" as he expressed it. So one dark night, arrayed in 8 sheet and provided with broomstick where with to so raise the sheet so to make himself about nine feet tall, he waited on lonely road for the old lady.
 Presently she came trotting sedately on her homeward way, anu the figure in white stepped out from the bushes and joined her.
 Madame, it said, II am the devil. "
 The old lady made no answer, but continued on as serenely as though she had never heard of such creature.
 Madame" said the figure again, "I am the devil.
 Still no answer. The master of evil began to get impatient
 Madame, " he reiterated, more gloom fly, if possible, than before, II am the devil.
 The old lady stopped short.
 Well" said she, sharply, ''nobody's disputin' of ye, is there9e Boston Budget.

A SHINING EXAMPLE of what may be accomplished by never vary ing devotion to single purpose is seen ill the history of the Mccormick Harvesting Machine Go, Chicago. For o5 years they have simply been building grain and grass-eutting ma chinery, and while there are probably forty manufacturers in this line, it is safe to say that the Mccormick Company builds one-third of all the binders, reapers and mowers used throughout the entire world.

He Knew IT.

There was once dispute among a group of Boers over the color of the English flag. There was much differ ence of opinion on the subject until an old patriarch, clad in blue shirt and soiled yellow moleskin trousers, arose. He knew nothing about the English, but he was solid on the color of the flag. When he stood up there was a murmur of loom Peet," and respect ful pause. 1.-The English flag" he said
 with an air of placid certainty, ''is white" There was general cry of expostulation, which had no sort of effect on the old warrior. Don't I know?" he asked, gently; II have seen it-seen it three times; once at Maju ba, once at Bronkerspruit and once at Doornkop. Each time it was hoisted and each time it was white" And that settled it.-San Francisco Argonaut.

l Franlfort-on- -the-Main--is cniy 110 miles.
 Those who have followed the devel, opment of electric power transmission will remember that for years many electrical experts persisted in the dec laration that it would require more cop per than could be afforded by the worlds entire visible supply to make q cable big enough to send power from Niagara to New York, and that when Tesla, few years ago, announced his ability to perform this supposedly i'm possible thing these same experts laughed him to scorn. But there IS l now no doubt that the transmission can and will be accomplished, since already in a number of experiments 1t has been found practicable to send a great vol urne of current from the falls to the Hudson's mouth over a single "com- mercial main," Tesla's stwo-phase sys- tenn" being the method employed. It should be said, however, that at this writing no enc can determine how many horse power can be transmitted, since the experiment has not yet been tried under anything like as favor able conditions as will exist during the exhibition.
 But perhaps the most interesting uses to which the Niagara current will be put have not yet been mentioned. Ar engagements have been made to turn It into one of the Atlantic cables, and then to utilize the energy of the big water fall to flash a message under the sea from the American republic to the mother country. President Cleveland may then send greetiDgs by cable to her majesty. Queen Victoria, and, in asmuch as Niagara's waters are inter- national in position, the river forming T part of the boundary between the limited States and Canada, it has been suggested that the courtesy of sending fbis message on the queens birthday would be appreciated by Great Britain.
 Further, it is expected that ". Il. preece. who has charge of the British telegraph lines. will complete ! circuit as nearly as may be around the world. and then messages may be sent by Nj aoara's electricity from the exhibition to eminent men on the continent Of Europe. such as President Faure of the French republic, the premier of the German empire and others.

Telegra phing Through Space.

The possibility of telegraphing through space. which was fully demon. strated last year by V H. Preece, has been turned to account in most eff fectiye way for maintaining communi- cation between the mainland and the Fastnet lighthouse, on the southwest coast of Ireland. Formerly, the diff cnlties of carrSing telegraph cable up an exposed rock, where it was sub- ject to constant chafng, were almost insuperable. The non-continuous sys- tenn is now used, and works admirably. The cable tevrlinates in the water 60 yards off, and Ehe electric currents shot from the shore find their way through this distance to two bare wires that dip into the sea from the rock.

large number of horsemen brought up

large number of horsemen brought up the rear.
 The column was to form at 7 o'clock, but several minutes previous to that time the Flambeau club went to the depot to escort the Temp and Msa delegations, but when they arrived there it was as certained that the train was lake, so they marched back to the plaza.
 A delay of an hour was caused and then it was announced that the dele gations from up the river would not arrive until 8:30 clock. The train did not leave the depot here until 6:30 o'clock and it was due at Mesa at that hour Who is to blame for the delay is not known, but it was not the fault of the south siders.
 After the parade formed at the plaza the lire of march was taken eastA on Washington street. to the West End house, then back to Second avenue and north on that street to the speakers stand.
 The Flambeau club marched from there back to the depot to meet the south siders, the train by that time having arrived.
 The second parade was also a very long one The Flambeau club and band came first, followed by about 15O from Tempe. The Mesa delegation, numbering about seventy-ive, came next and the Lehi club brought up the rear. Although over an hour and a half late, the south siders had lost none of their enthusiasm.
 Mayor Monihon, as marshal, deserves great credit for the manner in which he handled the forces. He was ably assisted by his aids. J. W. Benham was special aid ito the marshal J. L. Cant was in charge of the horsemen The Phoenix Republicans were con- manded by J. L. Ward The Glendale club was in command of Frank B. Moss
 J. W. Bolton was chief of the coIored club and Messrs. Charles Akers and J s. Calles were in charge of the Yava- pal county delegation. Dr. Scott Helm had the pleasant duty of seeing thai the young ladies on the float came tc no harm, and right gallantly did he perform his duty.
 A conservative estimate places the number of voters in the parade al about 1,50O and the second procession of the Tempe and Mesa clubs aug. mented the number to nearly 2,O00.

 Off Prizes.

From private telegram received in Phoenix yesterday in regard to the Albuquerque horse races, the Salt River valley carried off the prizes, as usual, in the 2:23 class.

 In the zoo class, Robert, owned by Wallace. won. MT Getz's bad luck stayed with him in this race and his handsome sorrel stallion, Elecwood was disisanced.
