tain religious exercises with il view OF
qualifying himself better for paradlse'
These religious exercises seem to take
physical form, and Mr.. DaSs, htsle,
dark gentleman, sat upon the table snd
proceeded to exhibit selection from the
81 abnormal positions which he has put
in 40 solid years in learning.
He seemed to have ligaments OF the
gutta percha persuasion, While his
joints evidently work on all bearings.
He formed his legs into eravat ana
tied them about his neck. He hoped
about on one hand and strolled about
jauntily OF his knees, a position wh'ch
is said to greatly assist thought, though
the thoughts Of white man i'll such
position would hardly betit for publlca-
ton. He folded his legs tightly around
his body and stood thoughtfully on his
finger tips for several minutes, iii whlca
posture he declared he was able to gc-
main for seven days. However, as the
medical students did not wish to cas:y
out this particular experiment to its ttt-
ter end, Mr.. Dass proceeded to tie hlas-
self up i'll Il knot and to go to sleep 81
one leg like Il flalningo. Then sitti%s
down suddenly he brought the soles OF
his feet together, his knees being at such
an acute angle that nothing short OF
complete dislocation could have made
the performance possible. The lecturer
endeavored to follow his movements Oh
an extremely suggestive looking SKI Teton
which he had by his side and finally
came to the conclusion that Mr.. Dass
had no ligaments at all.-London

CREDO.

Beyond the curtain of the grave
What shall befali us none may know
Save this: A manly heart and brave,
True to a friend, fair to foe,
That, passing, leaves a record clear,
May face the void without 4 fear.
And not by homily, but deed;
By upright life, not bended knee;
BY grace and worth, not garb or creed
The honest man, whoe er he be,
Is proved of heavens $ bliss an heir
Beyond the grave--if heaven be there.

The Gillie's Excuse.

1t is well known that the queen has a
dislike to the smell of tobacco, and even
such a constant smoker as the Prince Of
Wales is careful to deodorize himself as
much us possible before being received
by his royal mother. Perhaps the late
John Brown took her majesty S aversion
more coolly than any one else, for his
sporran was always crammed with
mixture peculiarly black and strong.
On one occasion the late Duke of
Sutherland sent some live deer to Wind
sor under the charge of his head keeper
who, having seen his charges safely
housed, foregathcred with Brown, and
smoke and whisky speedily combined i'll
no small quantities. While the carouse
was progressing John was hastily sum-
moned to the queens presence, an
away he went without changing his
clothes. His sovereign lacy soon detect
ed the peccant odor and reproachcd
Brown with it.

Many of our people have noticed the magnificent big black Great Dane dog which accompanies the Bittner Theatre Company. The dog is magnificent animal, aud Mr. Bittner tells a story of him which shows that the animal is possessed of passions similar to human. The animal was owned by William Swift, the advance agent of the company, who always took the dog with him. Swift was taken i'll and died at Aspen, Colorado. several months ago, and the manifestations of grief on the part of the dog over the loss of his master, he said, was most pitiful, and attracted people to the hotel to witness them. He moaned and cried like human, and it was with the greatest difficulty that ke could be gotten away frosa the coffin, containing the remains, for it's burial.
 The company arrived at Aspen about week after Mr. Swift's death, and as soon as the dog saw Mir. Bittner, he looked ap into the latter's face, and set up . most pitt ful moaning, and finally led the way to the room occupied by his master when he died. When Mr. Bistner opened the door of the room, the dog entered and getting up on the bed, placed Sis head between his paws on the bed. giving vent to his grief by moaus.
 Ever since he has followed Mr. Bittner, and will not permit him to get out of sight for moment if he can avoid it.

The numerous hold ups which have occurred in Phenix recently has caused a reign of terror in that city, as will be seen from the fol- lowing items from the press there:
 The reptrter with three friends, drove to Tempe last night and re- turned at an esrly hour this moru- ing. Of course the entire party earned guns and expected that they would be held up, but were pleasant ly disappointed. It was curious to note that every person passed on the road carried gan in plain sight, prepared to hand it to the highwaymen should they present themselves.

At the GIatlIator.

Did you ever take 8 ride up and down the mountains on Bill Zent's stagei We'll, 1t is a trip worth talk ing, both because of the scenery along the route and because of Bill Zant's capacity as an expert driver. He takes you at breakneck speed around wicked looking points, and jumps across instead of around the curves. He knows every croo and turn in the road, and handles the break like an engineer does the throttle of his engine. A merry party was on the stage bound for the Big Gladiator dance Monday evening. The road was excellent except few miles before starting the climb, to the eminence, from whence we descended to the Gladia tor, one of the biggest and best con- ducted mines in Yavapai county. Eu route we had magnificent meal at Zent's, and on our arrival at the mine men were on hand to take charge of the teams, and others to escort us to the dance hall.
 People were assembled from every where, and the mistery seemed to be where did the 200 guests come from. The hall was nicely decor ated with bunting aud evergreens, and brilliantly lighted. The music was furnished by Wilbank's orches- tra and was frst-class in every respect. The floor was in excellent condition and the dancers had a merry time until midnight, when supper was announced. Two rows of tables were placed in the center of the dance hall and loaded with the finest the land affords.
 The reporter was permitted a squint at the inner sanctuary of the commisssry department before the feast, and found stacks of pies, turkeys, chickens, sauces, and the things that satisfy the longiags Of the inner man. Pleasure reigned supreme until Old Sol peeped over the eastern hill and welcomed the new day as warning to cease fes- tivities. Among those present. from Prescott were:
 Mir. and Mrs. D. A. Burke. Mir. and Mrs. A. Falco, Mir. and Mrs. E.. Greenwood, Mrs. E. A. Rogers, Mrs. S. H. Dewitt, Miss Laura Dewitt, Mrs. G. c. Ruffner, Mrs. Treadwell, Mrs. J. T. Shull and Mrs. Wiloer. There was large turnout from the crowned King, Senator and othor mines adjacent.
 One feature of the evening was a

tions and inuendoes against what it pleased to term the JoURSAL-M MURPHY ia this matter. It has made positive assertions that not only has it's edi- tor, but other newspaper men, have sbeen offered lots, and also has posi- lively asserted that newspaper men have been given lots there. A posi- tive assertion should be capable of absolute demonstration and proof, aud it was for this purpose that the three propositions submitted by the JouRNAL- MINER were made, and still hold gso;l, and as the editor of this paper has accepted the counter proposition submitted to him, will our contemporary acceptf "Put up or Shut Up" still goes.
 Apologizing to our readers for the space taken mp in this discussion, which has been forced on us by the unjust insinuations made against usi we submit the following letter re- ceived this morning from M. E. Collins, who, with General M. Fl. Sherman, who are the largest owners of Capitol addition:
 'PHENIx. Ariz., Nov.

All baking powders sold for p cents 3 pound and less contain alum. There is surely no economy in using these cheap powders.
