John Bright Prophecy.
What He Had to Say About
Americas Future Years
Ago.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
Col. Birch tells in a Pittseurg pa
per of the following conversation he
had thirty years ago with Col. Vim
cent Marmaduke, and its application
to the present conditions is such that
we give it to the public. Every
Missourian knows that Col. Marina
duke, like his brother, was a decided
Confederate, and during the war he
was the bearer of dispatches from
Mr. Davis to Mr.. Mason, who repre-
sented the Southern Confederacy in
England. Marmaduke says that one
evening Mr. Mason said tc him i:
"Mr. Marmaduke, John Bright is to
make a speech tonight in the house
of commons, and I think it would be
20 your pleasure and interest to go
down to hear him :" 1t will be re
membered that at that day Mr..
Bright was the most conspicuous
figure in England Marmaduke went,
and during his speech Marmaduke
says that Bright stopped, and chang
ing his line of remarks, said: "Mr.
Speaker, If our kipsfolk on tie other
side of the Atlantic settle their civil
war satisfactorily, and get back to
gether in peace, in forty years there
will not be gun fred in the world
without their consent This state
ment at that day seemed preposter-
Gus. and no one but man with
Bright's comprehensive mind could
have dared to make such an assertion
to go before the world. 1t has been
but thirty five years since Mr.. Bright
made that statement, and yet events
have happened in the last few months
which give to Mr.. Brjght's words
the spirit of prophecy, and no one
would now hesitate to reproduce it.
Col. Birch asked Marmaduke how he
felt as be listened to such remarks
from the then greatest man in Eng
land, as to the future of the Ameri
can people when he was engaged in
breaking up that great country.
Marmaduke admitted that it gave
him uneasiness of mind in connection
with his own conduct, and that for the
first time he began to realize the won
derful power and influence which the
American people were to have on the
destinics of the world, and added,
with tremor in his voice Like all
other southern men, | am glad that
the Almighty has preserved US for
purposes of HIS own, which will
some day be unveiled before the
world "

"The north is DOT satisfied with a
protective tariff that shuts out foreign
goods from this market, but has had
the nerve to introduce a bill in con-
gress to protect one part of the country
against another. This Lowering bill,
asking for a constitutional amendment
regulating the hours of labor, is a di-
rect blow at the constitutional rights
of the States to legislase Cor them,

 The thirty-foot flag purchassd by the patriotic citizens of Tempe and erected on the butte about the time the Maine was blown up, is being won away by the wind until there Is little left of it but the stars. The flag has proved that the tcp of the butte is one of the breeziest spots on earth. Ob- servant Tempeans who have watched that flag with pride ever since it was put up, say that there has not been altogether a period of two hours when it was not standing out straight It was resolved at the meeting at which it was agreed to purchase the flag that the American colors should con- stantly float from the top of the butte throughout the war with Spain. The SagasJa ministry is said to be already considering the matter of suing fer peace. Now if somebody will write to the premier and tell him about the condition of the flag he will no doubt conclude that it is time to end the war. Tn the meantime the citizens of Tempe are taking up a subscription to buy new banner.

MOSQUITOES AND MATHEMATICS
Something Recorder Jobs Has Been
 Worrying About.

Recorder Jobs believes that the mes quitoes at the Arizona dam wilfully set aside all geometrical principles, which belief was acquired in this way: While he was camping at the dam couple of weeks ago there was another party camping about 100 yards southwest of him. The recorder will be designated by A the other party by B. Equi- distant from A and B and at an acute angle from both was still a third party which shall be known as c. Lines connecting these three parties of campers form an isosceles triangle, of which AB is the base and AC and BC the equal sides. Everybody knows that the angles CAB, the point occu- pied by the recorder, and CBA, the point occupied by the second party Of campers. are equal in every respect. Notwithstanding this fixed mathemat- ical fact the people at CBA were nightly visited by a million mosqui- toes and during the same time a single insect comforted CAB where MT. Jobs was stationed. Leaving geometrical principles out of the question, more fattering inducements were held out to them at CAB, for the ground was lower, was nearer the water and ali the garbage Of the three camps was dumped in that vicinity.
 MT. Jobs did not especially yearn for the society of the mosquitoes, but it hurt him to be sighted and to s7e the great truths enunciated by Euclid so ruthlessly disregarded. The thing has weighed upon him since his re- turn and he has puzzled and ponder d over it until the beneficial effect of his outing has been in part vitia1ed.

CONNECTS FROM YAVAPAI.
Stewart, the Shooter of Dr. McNally, a
 Guest of Phoenix.

Sheriff George Ruffnerof YaHapai county arrived in the city late on Fri day night with eight prisoners des- tined for Yuma. Among them was Frank Stewart, who shot and wounded Dr. McNally of Prescott not long ago. He escaped and led the sheriff a chase over the mountains, and once came so near adding murder to the crime of at tempted murder that he put a Marlin rifle ball through the sheriff's hat The next day seeing the futility Of trying to escape he surrendered him self. His crime, trial and conviction trod on the heels of each other. He got five years. The other ssven con- victs were less important criminals.
 They remained in jail here- yester- day and in the evening they were brought out to be ironed for the jour ney to Yuma. They hobbled together two by two as the animals went into the ark. For further security the couple were connected by handcuffs They were all rather young men and not bad looking. With the exception Of a glum Mexican all the prisoners put on an air of forced, but respectful jollity. When the handcuffing pro cess had been finished Sheriff Ruhner brought out paper bagful of cigars He distributed them among his charges, saying Throw away your cigarettes, boys; smoke these cigars and put on style."
 The wagon to take them to the de pot was slow and the corridor of the sheriff's office was intolerably hot. ''I'll take you out into the yard, boys, where it's cooler, if you'll promise you won't run away" All promised sol emnly. A couple of minutes later the wagon came. "All seti" cried the sheriff and the convicts clambered into the vehicle, which was driven away, it's occupants calling back to the crowd, Goodbye, boysi"
 There was recognized among the prisoners young man who was once an inmate of the jail of this county, charged with stealing a watch. He got sick and got worse His condi- tion became so serious that it was found necessary to remove him to the 1 county hospital. On his way out he grew convalescent. As he approached the healing institution he was miracu- lously restored to normal health. He sprang from the ambulance and was seen no more
