Deception.

A tramp in a downtown street &C
costed a business man the other day,
and, in a most piteous tone whined:
"Could you spare a dime for a man
whose two hands are paralyzed and
can't do no work."
"I'm DEAF" replied the man, kindly.
"Write down what you have to say"
The tramp looked surprised. deaf,
eh," he muttered to himself. "Well,
here goes" So he wrote on the back
of a letter furnished by the business
man the following:
I've got a wife and six children
starvin' at home, and I've been out Of
work a year I'm in a drefful state Of
destcrtution-"
= He handed the scrip to the business
man, who, after reading it, said: II
thought you said you were paralyzed
in both hands and yet you can write"
"Durn it," exclaimed the tramp,
didn't yes say ye were deaf"
Eyes, just to find out if you were
an imposter, as I suspected" was the
reply of the business man as he turn
ed away.
"You amt no gentleman for impos-
ing on a poor devil" yelled the tramp
after the man.

Miles may command at Fortress
Monroe, but Gen. Terry commands
Virginia." So once more my cry for
help was, emf to him, and speedily
I received a reply, which l copy
verbatim. (The original is in my
posession.)
"Richmond, Dec. 9, 1866.
"Madame: I have the honor to &C
knowledge the receipt of your letter
Of December 1st.
maj. Gen. Miles has received full
instructions with regard to the mat
ter of which you write, and if you
will apply to him again I think you
will have no difficulty in recovering
whatever part of your property may
be at Old Point.
Every Respt. Yr. obi. Servt.,
"Alfred P. Terry,
major General.
Miss A. V. T., Norfolk, Va"
Armed with this letter, again was
the trip to Old Point made, and it
proved to be the "open sesame" for
the forbidden doors were no longer
closed to use, Gen. Miles evidently
having received orders as perelnptory
as those he had given. There in his
parlor was the piano I had been vain
ly seeking for months, and unmindful
OF the men who were co~ngregated in
the ROOM, | flew to it and the stir
ring notes of Dixie" rang from its
ivory keeps. I did not play WE'LL
was too excited for that-but it was
Dixie" and that was enough. The
tune was again welded to the keys
from which it had been so long sep
arated.
An interview with one in command
resulted in the promise that the piano
should be Immediately shipped, and
that I should be notified of the time
of shipment; so home I came, wait
ing, longing, to have the lost treas
ure again in possession. Days passed,
and then l remembered that when it
was promised that the piano should
be sent at once, one Of the soldiers
said: Gen Miles is going to have a
party soon, and I don't think you will
get that piano before then" So
tried to possess my soul in patience
But when a week went by and nc
word had come from Old Point my
thought was, "Can it be possible that
the doughty Gen. Miles is still keep
ing up the warfare he has been wag'
ing against a defenseless girl?" Il
seemed so, and slowly, but surely
hope was dying in my heart, when
the report came that a piano had heea
left on a wharf at Norfolk, and &c
one knew to whom it belonged
There it had remained exposed to the
wintry weather, unclaimed, unshel'
tered, until the rumor of it coming It
our ears, my brother went over and
identified it, and 500 it found a well
come in the home which had shelter
ed it before "grim-visaged war had
made that home a ~desolate, forsaken
abode. There it still remains, and,
although like Tara's harp the soul OF
music seems dead within it, yet
around it still fingers the memory OF
those days of 1861, when "Dixie,"
MY Maryland" "Bonnie Blue Flag"
"On to Richmond" etc, rang out to
it's %tuneful accompaniment.
And now, after many years it has
mutely suggested the story, "A Girl,
a Piano, and General Miles,"

SUNSET TELEPHONE co.
It Has Recently Absorbed the Gila
 Valley System.

Although the deal will not be form ally announced till ratified at a stock holders meeting. the SoIomonville Bull letin says the Consolidated Telephone Telegraph and Electric Go. has bought the property and franchises of the Gila Valley Telephone CO.
 The Bulletin says:
 Since last fall MT Chas. Solomon has been working on the proposition with Col Epes Randolph of the pur- chasing company. The local line has grown from few miles of wire and a few dozen posts reaching from Solo knoxville to Safford until 1t now covers the two counties of Graham and GiIa. with about 300 miles of wire. Business has grown so rapidly that 1t has be- come too big a proposition for the local men to handle. hence the sale to the larger and heavier financed corpora ton.
 The stockholders of the GIla Valley Telephone company will become stock holders in the Consolidated Telephone Telegraph and Electric company to the value of their stock. This company virtually has the entire field in Ari- zona at present and is continually building and extending it's lines In all
 
 pendent companies.
 In Arizona the Sunset people have but a small foothold in the northw est ern portion of the territory while prac- tically the entire south and central sec traI sections are covered by the inde- pendents.
 This telephone deal will mean great deal to Graham county, for it will place us on a long distance line now connecting nearly every large city Tn the territory, and which at no far dis tant date will extend to Los Angeles on the west and Denver to the east. Tn fact it is reported that a Denver com pany is building west at this writing to meet with an eastern extension of the Consolidated. While on the west an independent company of Redlands. Cal, capitalists. is building east to con- meet with the Consolidated at Yuma.
 Last February the line was complet- ed from Globe to near Phoenix. Since that date the line has been completed into the city, but floods have kept the line out of repair between this place and Globe. As soon as repairs are. completed this side Of Globe, our peo- pie will be able to talk with the cap itaL
 It will not be many months until SOlomOnville merchants will be able to phone their orders direct to the whole sale houses of Los Angeles.
