The Bull and the Government
 Papers.
TUarpers Round Table:


 Here is comical adventure that some members of an English ordnance sur vey met with while touring in the south of Scotland. In the prosecution of their calling they entered a field belonging to crusty old farmer. Seeing the strangers looking about in a way he could not understand, the farmer ap- preached.
 What are ye lettering in the-feld for?''
 "Oh, we have right to go anywhere. " returned one of the company. "We are surveying, and here are our govern ment papers,"
 Paper here or paper there," return ed Che farmer. loot ye gong cot O my field"
 ''No, we sha'n't," returned the man, "aDd you are rendering yourself liable to prosecution for interruptlng us." The farmer said no more, but went over to his shed. which opened into the field, and let out a vicious bull The bull no sooner saw the redcoatS than he went for them in full career. The surveyors snatched up their theodoIite and flew for their lives, while the old farmer, in great glee, yelled after them: "What are ye running for? Con ye no show the bull yer government papers?"

It Must be said to the credit of the
 legislatiue members who are identified with the Mormon church, that not one of them, sc far as the Star can learn, is tainted with even a suspicion of dis honesty or any kind of legislative ven
 alitv. They seemed to be at all times guided by a conscientious desire to serve the best interests ofthe territory and the people. This is credit mark which the people of the Latter Day Saints of this territory have cause to be justly proud. Now If Reresentatlve Skinner of Graham will refuse to quail ify as member of the territorial board of equalization his decIination will be in line with his legislative record as his appointment is in contravention of the organic law, inasmuch as he is a member of the legislative department ot the territory.-Star.

The Tanale.

The Yellow Dog:
 The tamale is the classi cal name for a corncovered inferno. It is the nom- de-plume under which the unsuspect- ing epicure purchases the means of in- ternal lncendiarism.
 As l have never possessed & pyrom- eter am unable to give the tempera- ture of the tamale, but do not hesi- tate to place the tamale-eater of Cali fornia and the fre-eater of Persia in the same class.
 The memory of my first tamaie is a nightmare. It brings back all the sor- row, anguish and despair of what was designated tamale party, where I had the misfortune to be one of the invited victims.
 The tamales were served in cornhusk draperies with padded waists, but as I had never seen one before commenced to eat mine without disorbing it. 1 quickly discovered, however, that the other guests were removing the tam ale's outer garments before eating them. immediately concluded to do like wise, and condescendes to be a valet to a tamale. Since then I have often wish ed that l had not done so. but swallow ed 1t as l would quinine capsule. The lady who sat on my right and into whose lap generously distributed half et my refreshments, has also been heard to express the same wish.
 Having removed the superfiuous cloth ing, next proceeded to eat the tamale proper. In moment felt as if all the lava from Mt. Vesuvius was rolling down my throat. At this instant a young lady attempted to interest me in conversation tried to answer her questions. 1 endeavored to talk calmly although l felt like giving all the cal lege yells ever invented. made spas- modie effort to appear atmy easy while the mucous membrane of my aesopha- gus was being fried and my tonsils roasted.
 Thus it is that cherish warm per. sonal memory for the tamaIe. Although 1t IS not what it purports to be, I look upon 1t kindly, for realize that it IS the only calamity that California can present to offset the cyclones. thunder storms and blizzards of the East.

A NOVEL IDEA.
A Camping Sanftarium in the
 White Mountains

The El Paso Herald prints the fol- lowing article in regord to the novel proposition of doctor of that cltv. who proposes to substitute climate for medicine. The outcome of the scheme will be watched with interest
 Dr. Wegefarth's camping sanitarium scheme Is attracting general attention and as many questions are being asked about It, Herald reporter questioned the doctor with reference to his plans.
 The doctor replied that his idea ill general was to take patients, invalid people needing change and rest to the mountains in the summer season, and give them the benefit ofthe mountain air, and an active outdoor life, with all the comforts of a first class hotel. "With this object in view." he said, Il have selected one of the most beautiful spots in this part of the country, viz, the White Mountains of Arizona. This sec- tion of the country abounds with streams filled with fine mountain trout. It is thickIy timbered with balsam pine and many other trees. There is game Tn great abundance-deer, antelope, bear, mountain lion, coyotes, and turkeys by the thousand. Then there is plenty of other and smaller game.
 "Now as to the outfit-Special care is being taken as to the wagns, that they shall be seasy riding as possible. Then tents will be provided with cots and everything to make the occupants feel comfortable; stoves being part of the tent equipment" As the doctor cons1- ders that good food properly prepred is absolutely necessary to the restoration of health, he has paid particular atten- tion to the culinary department, and this will be presided over by the best chefs to be obtained. The doctor has paid and is paying special atten ton to details, the smallest matter not being overlooked. As his object is to give pleasure and recreation, he will carry along croquet sets, lawn tennis sets, and will take two or three greyhounds, so that his guests many enjoy to the fullest extent the excitement of the chase.
 Plenty of help will accompany the outfit, men thoroughly familiar with camp experience, including guides, hunters to keeep the camp supplied with game, barber. washermen wait CTS. cts.
 The party will include both ladies and gentlemen, and maids will be along to look after the ladies. Only inclpient cases will be admitted to the party. and no cases far enough advanced to occa- sion depressing effect on others will be taken. People needing only recreation and rest from business cares will also be admitted. In fine, nothing will be overlooked or neglected that can make the party comfortable and divert their minds by giving them pleasure; the one great object being to restore their health and make them strong again.
 The party is scheduled to start about the middle ofApril. But the number ofapplicacions for admission to the par ty are coming in so rapidly that the doctor will probably start when his party has been made up to the number of fifty the limit.

THE EARTH CASE.
Against the County
 for a Large Sum.

We learn from private but reliable source that a judgment in favor of the plaintiff and against Apache county was rendered, one day last week, by Judge Baker, in the Maricopa county district court. This suit was originally begun some ten years ago by Jacob Earth, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, to recover large sum on warrants of this county held by him. 4 hearing of the matter was delayed for long time, on account of the death of the plaintiff, the time consumed in the appointment of an administrator, changes ofvenue, etc. After several years, the trial was finally had in Phenix last May, and the presiding judge has had the matter un- der advisement ever since. The judg- ment amounts to SI4,351. The matter will undoubtedly be appealed to the court of the territory.
