Seeing stars.

If n man falls so as to strike his
head violently on the pavement, or If
he gets a blow over his eye, he is said
to "see stars" The cause Of this cur
ious phenomenon is found in a pecul-
iarity Of the optic nerve. The func-
tion of that nerve is to convey TO the
brain the impression of light. 1t rec
ognizes nothing in the world but light.
1t is susceptible to no other impression;
or, If acted upon by any other agent,
it communicates to the brain the in
telllgence Of the presence Of that agent
by sending alGlg its fibres flashes Of
light only. lrritate this nerve with a
probe or other instrument, and 1t con.
veys no sensation Of pain, but sim
ply that Of luminous sparks. The pain
OF the blow or the fall on the head
is realized through the nerves Of gen
eral sensation; but, unsusceptible to
pain or any other feeling, the optic
nerve sends to the brain its report of
the shock by flashes, sparks and
stars. st James Gazette.

CONGEALING OF WILSON'S

lamented democratic territorial con-

nounced last Sunday afternoon No
one met him at the train; no detoning
powder announced his august presence
among us, hut he came, just the same.
A few democrats strolling over to the
depot, and being caught in the act,
aided the colonel to the hotel with his
grip. In the evening several democrats
called upon him in his room at the
Beale, and without resorting TO parley-
ing, asked him to go back home aud
retire from the race. Even Kean st.
Charles, who supported him up to the
middle of last week, begged him to go

did and did not have as the democratic
candidate for delegate to congress
Mr.. st. Charles read to the colonel the

brought from Mr.. Wilson a torrent of
impolite epithets, such as, "Who would
believe that SIC s. of b-h!" Not
very polite language for congress.

of the frosty chill in the room aud on
the street after his arrival in town. He
admitted that the democratic county
convention of Maricopa county was
regular, but they had right to call as
many conventions as they pleased to
elect delegates to the territorial con
vention. The few friends he had in
Kingman dissuaded him from speak
ing and he took the train Tuesday
morning for Prescott, where he may
find the people ready to listen to his
plea for the delegateship.

remain on the ticket he will not get |

but today they are heartily in accord
with the paper. We can readily explain
why we alienated ourselves rom the
local democracy; it is easily summed
up: We believed that whel a man
went into convention and was nom
mated for office, he was in honor bound
to support the candidates nominated
with him on the ticket. Not 81 with
the local democracy. As soon as the
two tickets-republ blican and democrat
are placed in the field the wire pulIers
get together and trade is made by
which candidates on both tickets are
offered as sacrifice to the greed and
am m5ition of the plotters. Many men who

that our people will some day take

to office men who are qualified to fill
