Eggs have been provokincly scarce in Tucson for two weeks past. It has been impossible to get hold of this class of fruit at any price, and we were just about to recommend that some of our great men start a chicken ranche when we were reminded of the two enterprising gentlemen who invested their savings in ten chickens one day last week and placed the herd on lit tie ranche at the edge Of town. Their dire distress can be imagined when on the morning following their venture they found, instead of ten hens, only ter particular feathers. The coyotes had taken the rest. We hope, how ever, that this will not discourage chicken ranching nor materially affect our egg supply.

A SHARP lunatic named Smith came near getting away with the Board of Supervisors, the Sheriff and the doc tors yesterday. He had been in jail for some days awaiting the decision of commission on lunacy. The com. missioners decided that he was crazy and the Board were about to vote him transportation to Stockton when the Sheriff stated that he had observed him and that he thought him perfect ly sane. pr. Handy was sent for then and after talking with the man he was convinced of his sanity. But as the was relating some of Smiths conver- sation to the Board, one or two very marked untruihs appeared Then the Doctor went back and had a longer talk, all of which seemed perfectly rational until the subject of mines was touched, when there was a change to the purest madness. The Sheriff will take the man to Stockton.

 WE learn from reliable sources that a ghost and two attendant spirits were seen prowling in the neighborhood of the Court House Plaza at about nine o'clock last night. When first seen. they were moving slowly down Court street, the ghost a little in advance and the two attendant spirits closely fol- lowing. A Mexican boy who happen ed along about that time gave one glance at the eight foot aparition, and more quickly than the hopes of youth or a dog with tin can tied Co his tail did he flee when no man pursueth. But a valient lady and gentleman who were sitting outside the door enjoying the evening air, thought they heard melOdious giggle responding to his flying footsteps, bravely took the war path and the ghost and attendants were put to flight with loss-of a hair Din.

A year or so ago we remember! to
have read an account from Mr.. Har-
ris, in a contribution to the Ameri-
can AgricuIturist, of New York
truckman who was experimenting in
reducing the number of times per
day that he fed his horses. The ami
mails were worked hard, but the ow-
ncr omitted giving them their noon
meal altogether The horses left
the stable ut seven O'Clock in the
morning, and were returned at half
past six in the evening, thus going
about twelve hours without feeding.
The amount of oats morning aud
evening was increased; though the
aggregate feed per day was OH an
average about two quarts less then
when the same horses were fed three
times. The owner found that the
horses did more work, were healthier,
and more thrifty than before. The
horses had the best of grooming and
care, of course.


The result is probably due to the
fact that, according to a long-known
principle IN physiology, violent exer-
else Immediately after hearty meal
impedes digestion, especially if the
meal be taken after the exhaustive
labor of the forenoon.


If any of our readers are to try the
experiment, they should begin by
gradually reducing the noon meal,
and when entirely withheld they must
still give the horse the usua!! rest at

PUBLIC INTEREST REvIvING.


Snow HILL, Nd, June 16.-In the
Duer trial to-day the entire morning and
afternoon sessions were consumed in the
examination of physicians, called by the
State, as to the effects of chloral taken by
patient suffering from nervous depres-
sion. They generally expressed the
opinion that chloral was not only not in
furious, but decidedly beneficial and
salutary that properly administered it
rather prolonged than abridged ife. As
the trial draws to close the interest ap-
pears to be increasing. The opinions of
the medical men are as various as their
numbers, but all are careful in their
answers to the searching cross-examina-
ton to which they are subjected. Tie
medical evidence has been, to-day, a :
most entirely cumulative. There is but
little doubt the whole of the testimony
will be consumed in argument before the
case is given to the jury. The throng in
the court house is quite as great tonight
as at any time during the trial.

If the Demscratic party wants to
carry single Northern State next year
it should hasten to repudiate the course
of those Mississippi Democrats who
drive off opposition candidates by vio-
lent measures. The Federal bayonet
in posse is much less formidable dan
ger to the Northern mind than the bull
dozer's shotgun IN esse. If it gets to
be understood that the Democratic par
ty in the South will not allow the exis-
tence Of any political opposition, the
average Northern man will decide that
it is not the party to rule this country.
1t ceases to be a question of party, and
becomes one Of civilization and free
government. We do not hesitate to
say that the course of the Mississippi
Democrat, ifpersisted in, merits the ex.
treme penalty applicable to State
which fails to maintain Republican
form of Government, and justifes the
employment of the Federal army, If
necessary, to enforce obedience to the
Constitution Boston Herald.

A series OF experiments conducted by
a chemist in behalf of the New York
Board of Health, with an intent to dis
cover what is the best disinfectant for
ordinary use, has resulted in the an
nounoement that "under every variety
of circumstances carbolic acid is the
most reliable disinfectant in the mar
ket." 1t is alleged also that "carbo-
lates of lime possess little disinfecting
virtue, the little they do possess being
mainly due to the Stacked lime they
contain. Lime is efficient at first, but
inefficient when prolonged action is ex-
pected." A bottle Of carbolic acid is a
good thing for everybody to have in the
house at this time of the year. Free

places and such ventilation as will en-
sure the best possible supply of pure

Hogan alleged that he had been appoint,

that on November 9th, when his term had
not expired Governor Bishop removed
him.


Hogan claims that he could not be re-

Judge Burnet decided that it was not one

ernor, and it appeared that there were no
charges preferred against Hogan as the law
required.


The Court said the Governor therefore
did not proceed in due form OF law, and
