When the railway is completed tC stations east of Tucson the trade of this place will be somewhat changed as to localities, but not diminished in amount. Looking at distances, topog raphy, etc, It seems clear that the mails, express, freight, and, in fact, all traffic of the Globe country with the railway will connect at Tucson. Those who have studied the subject with a view to future business are firmly of this opinion, and they look upon the new road now under construction be tween Tucson and Globe City as one of the most important, not only 10 Tucson but to Globe as well. This new busi- ness tributary 10 Tucson is one of magnitude, and one that will continue until another railway shall be built near to that rich section, and from the present outlook the chances are ten to one that when such railway is built il will connect directly with Tucson and still more largely benefit this place.

 In view of the new wagol road now being built between the two points and the early completion of the railway to Tucson, move is already or foot to secure a tri-weekly mail over he new route, and the magnitude of tle busi- ness interests in the premises would seem to call for six-day if lot full daily service. Often mail facilities are asked for with but small interests to be served, but in this instance they are decidedly large, with a certainty of rapidly growing. The present monthly production of gold and silver of Globe, inaccessible as it now is, ac- cording to the most reliable informa- ton at hand, is over S5O,OOO per month, with steady increase and the mines de veloping very well.

 Tucson people will be promoting their own interests Tn doing all they can to complete the new road in the best manner and quickly, too, for when done the business before spoken Of will pass over it.

for the duties Of the day; they are not
only incapacitated for business, but are
often rendered so ungracions in their
manners, so irritable and fretful, as TO
spread gloom over the whole house
hold. To be able 10 go to bed, and be
in sound, delicious sleep, an uncon-
scious deliciousness, in five minutes, but
enjoyed in its remembrance, is great
happiness, an incalculable blessing, and
one which we should all strive to enjoy
if possible, and it is undoubtedly the case
that we can do much to secure it by tax
ing proper care of ourselves in every
way. Restless nights to persons in APP
parent good health, arise chiefly from
first, an overloaded stomach, second,
from worldly care; and third, from want
of muscular activities proportioned to
the needs of the system. Few will have
restless nights who take dinner at mid
day, and nothing after that except bit
OF could bread, a cup or two of some hot
drink; anything beyond that, as cake,
pie, Clipped beef, doughnuts and the
like, only tempt nature to eat when
there is really no call for it, thus en-
gendering dyspepsia and all the train of
evils. Exercise, too, is a powerful agent
in the matter. Few will fail to sleep
soundly if the whole of daylight, or as
much thereof as will produce moderate
fatigue, is spent in steady work in the
open air, on horseback or on foot.

During the first week of their confne-
ment, his rattlesnakes disdained to
chase their game, and the stupidity Of
the bugs and'young birds made 1t easy
enough to collar them whenever they
were wanted; but one morning the ga
minis of the neigbborhood caught an old
blackbrd and sold il to the geological
druggist for two pieces of candy. The
blacksnakes were covered up with an
old apron TO prevent their interference,
and the vivoras, who had tasted for
twenty-four hours, rather than eat cock
roaches,got one more chance a. a square
meal. After fiuttering around in an ex-
cited way for while, the bird settled
down in corner, and the two snakes
prepared for action. They lowered their
heads, and without moving the tail end
of their bodies approached the bird by
q gradual extention of their coils; but he
was all suspicion and recommended his
fluttering before their cat like advance
had brought them within range.


Then the female rolled herself up in
the blackbird's corner and her mate
took post in the center of the room, but,
after readjusting their coils, neither
budged an inch; they bided their time.
Dashing his head against the windows
seemed TO tire the bird after while.
Presently he came down, but aligbted
in rather inaccessible place took wing
again, and alighting in his old corner
finally bundered into the watering-pot.
He hoped out with drenchcd wings,
and devoted few moments to the rear
rangemcnt of his toilet, needless or un-
conscious Of his proximity TO the female
partner of the hostile alliance. She
watched all his movements, and her tail
Quivered in curious way when she
saw him poke his head under his right
wing; the one turned toward the corner;
she seemed to know that he would re-
peat the same maneuyer on the left
wing side. lie did so, and she had him
directly Drawing herself up,shc poised
her neck like dart, braced herself by
contracting the rear coils, and let drive.
A loud scrcech, few feathers flying
and terrified bird darting through the
room like blind chicken-cause and
effect coinciding with shot-like sudden
ness. Instead of following him she re-
turned to her favorite nook, where she
was soon after followed by her mate.
The difficult part of the job was done.
Three or four times the bird managed
to take wing, staggered around in cir
Gle once or twice and then sat still. The
chemicals began TO operate. First its
legs and then its wings began to trem-
BILE; trying to stand upright, it put its
feet farther and farther apart; and finally
spread its wings, but TO no purpose; Il
convulsive tremor seized it, and with Il
gasp it fell over on ITS side; and only at
that moment did the snakes glide up TO
take possession of their prey, The same
experiment was tried with Il ground
squirrel and two half-grown chickens,
and always with an analogous result.
No animal liable to offer serious
resistance was captured outright by the
rattlesnakes, They managed to fetch
it bite and let it go, relying on the vi
rus 10 do the rest.

A chute is laid from the rivers brink
up the steep mountain TO the railroad,
and while we are telling it the monster
logs are rushing, laundering, flying leap
ing down the deceyity. They come
with the speed of a thunderbolt, and
somewhat of its roar, 4 track of fire
and smoke follows thom-fre struck by
their friction with the chute logs. They
descend the 100 feet perpendicular.
They strike the deep water OF the pond
with report that can be heard mile
distant.


Logs fred from cannon could scarce
ly have greater velocity than they have
at the foot of the chute. The average
velocity is over 100 feet in second
throughout the entire distance, and at
the instant they leap from the mouth
speed must be full 200 per second. A
sugar-pinc log sometimes weighs ten
tons. What a missile! How the water
is dashed in the air! Like Il grand plume
of diamonds and rainbows, the feathery-
spray is hurried INTO the air to the
height Of 100 feet. II forms the grand
est fountain ever behcld. How the
waters of the pond foam and seethe and
ash against the shore:


One log, having spent Its force by the
mad plunge into the deep waters, has
floated so as TO be at right angles with
the path OF the descending monster,
The mouth of the chute is perhaps tif-
teen feet above the surface of the water.
4 huge log hurled from the chute cleaves
the air and alights on the floating log.
You know how bullet glances, but can
you imagine saw-log glance? The end
strikes with a heavy shock, but glides
quickly past for short distance, then a
crash like reverberation of artillery,
the falling log springs $50 feet vertically
into the air. and with curve like a
rocket falls into the pond seventy yards

HAGERsrowY, ISp, October 25.-A few

on one of those characters mentioned,

markably short time completely won her
confidence. Rccently-very recently
while the twain were out together and
while the lady was under the influence
of wine, which "ye drummer" had per-
suaded her to take, the latter who is
somewhat of an artist in tattooing, got
the consent of the lady to ornament her
leg with his name. The name of the
gentleman we withhold-not out Of re-
spect for him, but the house he is doing
business for. Not only did the fellow
prick his name into the fair skin of the
lady, but he decorated the leg with n
number of vulgar caricatures, which
sometime in the future will undoubtedly


cause her unbounded shame and re-
morse. The limb is in rather critical
condition, owing to cold caught while the
operation was being performed, or from
poison infused in her blood by the colors
used, and it will be surprising if the dec
GRATED girl does not suffer weeks Of pain
before her leg is in dancing order again.

1t was on certain afternoon. mt
many years ago. but that the parties
most interested can recellsct II. that =
smsll band of prominent persouagss a.
sembled at was their wont, in certain
cosy little room within the walls of .
certain large stone building, situated
In the Northwestern part Of the city Of
Wilmington, and set apart and kept for
the benefit of those whom age. or the
hcklsness OF Dame Fortune have
thrown on their beam ends. The little
gathering were all of the same politi-
cal complexion, and belonged to that
party In whose hands the dsstiniss of
New Castle county at the present time
are found.


Judging from the business they wera
engaged in on the occasion of which We
write, one would have supposed that
they were employed in the interests of
tho cause Of temperance, as every onos
in txhiie the edoor Of . snug little stds
board at the end of the room would ba
opened; out would come a bottle, and
each time very large instalmsnt Of

endeavoring to crush, would 20 down"
each Of the party taking an active in
terest in the onslaught.


This was kept up for some time, and
might have yet been going on, had not
one OF the party, with an eye to busi-
ness, drawn from his pocket several
excursion tickets, at the same time DO
litely requesting each Of his friends to
invest TO the extent Of one dollar, in
the pasteboard passports to day Of
pleasure.


This little diversion inauguratsd 4
season of jocular badinage, in which
each brought forth arguments to con-
vince the other it was his duty to pur-
chase.


Finally a prominent disciple of Escula-
Plus who was also Of the party, sugges-
ted, that as the druggist Of the inslitu-
tion was present he might be Induced
to invest, as by doing SO he would not
only be beneftting worthy cause,
but would undoubtedly be beneAtting
himself.


The man Of drugs, in slang parlance,
couldn't see it.


The vender Of tickets then jocularly
remarked to the pill maker, ooh, yes,
you can take two, and add the price to
your next bill tor medicines"


The druggist yet failing to nibble, ,ons
Of the party iocularly said, my friend
you will find it to your interest to buy

The druggist however was not in the
investing humor, and shortly afterward
took his departure not for a moment
dreaming that the pleasantnies of his
afternoon friends had any significance.
He was destined to change his opinions
of the jocosity of politicians in q very
short time, however, as he soon found
that his contract had vanished into

might be more pliable on the subject Of
