The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail road is surveyed as far as Pueblo, Colorado The company claim to have completed l. lOf miles of road in the past year, a fact, they say, no other American company has ever done. That this road will be built as far ss Santa Fe is pretty certain. Whether if will stop there, or come on this way is as vet un. known to us.

 The people who live along the line of the Kansas Pacific are complaining of it's bi0b freight tariff, and are using ox-trains. as of yore.

 So profoundly secret are the workines q, the Atlantic & Pacific, the Texas Pacific and Southern California Railroad companies. we dare not venture an assertion regarding what any one of them are going to do. One thing Is certain, they will soon have to show their hands. If the Southern Pacific comnanv would go to work in earnest, a year need moi go ty before their trains would be unloading rich ireights on the banks of the Colorado

 As for the Texas and Pacific, those who formerly had most confidence in it's early completion are now losing that confidence Even San Diegans are commencing to see through Mir. Tom Scotts rusty armor and are accusing him of breaches of faith.

 But, there IS no telling what day. \ week or month may bring forth, and so, tn. MINER will continue to wait and hope for the fleet messengers of civilization.

ARIZONA SESTINEL.-Mr c. l.. Minor has disposed of his interest in this paper to Judge Vim. J. Berry, who is now its editor and proprietor. The Sentinel has been con siderably enlarged and much improved by the new man at the helm. It is now four-pagc paper, of twenty-four columns, though its columns are not so wide nor as long as those of the MINER. The typograph- ical appearance of the Sentinel would be creditable were it not that the print of the present number is not so clear as to render the reading of it an easy pleasure. But ac- cidents will happen, even to editors and printers. Perhaps the devil left his roller in the lye too long, and had not time to make new one. Whatever the cause, it has doubt less been remedied, and the next number of the paper will be fair to look upon.

 Judge Berry is well-known and held in high esteem by the citizens of this section, having resided in Prescott for several years. He IS known as an earnest, forcible writer, and will, we know, instill new life into the Sentinel, and cause it to be welcomed through out the Territory. The Judge has our best wishes for success in this new venture, and we hope he may secure fortune and fame as the defender of the interests of the great State of Arizona, that is to be.

It IS well for press and people to talk about the supposed tendency of the rulers of our country to elevate some man to the throne" of America. Tho opinions of our gorged public servants may run in this channel If so, there can be no harm in showing them up. Some people arc haunted with the impression that President Grant would like 10 continue m the Presidential chair during his natural llle, and then besucceeded by hrs son. We'll, he may have such an idea imbedded in his head, but We doubt it. Grant knows that Americans do not take kindly to hereditary chleitains; no, not even the Indians. Some tribes have them, but pay very little atten- ton to their supposed rights.

 It is an undeniable fact that there are American citizens who would prefer an em- pire to the strife and turmoil ot so many Presidential elections. We are not smitten with these "things," but prefer them to lifelong ruler and stagnant rule. The fear that President Grant will brake over the an cient rule and run for third term is wide spread, but, this he dare not do. To quiet public feeling, Congress ought, at it's next session, tinker the Constitution so that President shall be elected for one term of six years by the direct vote of the people. This would settle the question, put all end to the nlght-mare or spectre of Cesarism, and give the people long breathing spells between grand national political battles.

RAILROAD SPEcULATIoSs.-Wh many Eastern papers are prophesying that the late financial crash will, for some time to come, stop railroad building in the newly settled portions of the West, we can but hope that they will prove to be false prophets. They reason that the railroad companies have worked with the peoples money, which was wheed!ed out of them for neatly engraved bonds, etc, which are now, almost worthless In some instances this has been the case Perhaps there is yet no need of Northern Pacific railroad; but, the need for South ern Pacific railroad is urgent, and month or two hence, when the Union Pacific will be showed in, VIC shall hear great public out cry for Southern Pacific railroad, which will soon be built regardless of the predic- tions of Eastern prophets" who have all the railroads they want, at home, and are so short-sighted as to think that the West can get along very well without such roads until it becomes as pOpulous as Massachusetts or New York. v.t ....

The carelessness, or ignorance-most
probably the latter in n majority of cases
of so-called medical experts is some
times marvellous. A case in point re-
Gently occurred in Chicago. A man was
found dead in an unfrequented suburban
thoroughfare. 1t was at once surmised
by the detectives that he had been foully
dealt with. There was a wound in the
chest of the dead man that lent strength
to such snpposition. The wise physi-
clans were called in, and they, after Il
post mOrtcm examination, decided that
the puncture was nothing more nor less
than a bullet-hole, and they even went
so far as to describe the direction of the
ball, and the manner III which it pro-
duced death. A subsequent and closer
examination by other learned members
of the medical profession developed the
astonishing fact that the so-called bullet
hole was no bullet-hole at all, but

Almost every one has different rem
edy for this most common but none the
less distressing complaint. And the
truth is, that very few of them have any
effect ut all, while some of them only
aggravate the case. The best and safest
way for the sufferer is to let himself
alone till the gastric or nervous depres-
sions which have produced it have sub
sided, when sleep generally comes to the
aid of exhausted nature and perfects the
cure. The British Medicai journal, i'll
treating of this subject, says the only
remedies which are of any avail are
those which act on the nervous system,
such as hot tea or coffee, or, after the
most violent symptoms have passed off,
little wine or ammonia. The bromide
of potassium is also highly recommend
ed after the nausea subsidies. While
this exists, it is of no avail. The writer
also thinks that tea and coffee used in
excess constantly, although they may
relieve headache, may also predispose
to the difficulty and he cites instances
of several patients, who, by giving up
the use of these beverages, became
cured of chronic or frequent head
aches.

credits one of the most remarkable ex-
ploits in canine intelligence. The dog
was the property of the first mate, and
was early noted for extraordinary
sagacity. When the sailors took hold
of the maine brace to haul it in, the
dog Immediately seized the end and
ran the length of the deck with it, as
if blending a hand" to get the officers
order executed. A planter took a
fancy to the dog, and prevailed on
the first mate To present the animal to
him. He carried it along with him
six hundred miles up the Mississippi
river, and endeavored to show the
setter every kindness. But one night
the dog escaped, and running along
the river bank leaped aboard boat
and was towed back to New Orleans.
But the ship had sailed. and a schooner
captain, into whose hands the setter
fell, took it with him to New York.
The ship from which the dog was
taken was lying on the other side Of
the river, and here is where the mar
vel comes in. The dog, while looking
over the side of the vessel one after
noon, seemed to take special notice OF
the ship on the other side. After a
few moments it leaped overheard,

THERE lived in Brooklyn, not long ago, g
man possessed of devil. He had inherit
ed the devil from his father, in the first
place, and had nursed it until it grew SO
strong 1t took entire possession of him


The devil was very familiar one, and its
name was Rum. The man had many
noble instincts, and, better than all these


he had loving, faithful, brave wife, who
made skillful war upon the demon, her
husbands master. Recognizing the fact
that her husband was under an overpower-
ing impulse, that he longed and struggled
manfully to free himself from the passion
for drink, she bent all the energies of her
woman-nature to the task of helping him.
She loved, and suffered, and toiled, until
at last the loving, and suffering, and toll
ing accomplished their purpose. She took
her husband by the hand, and shared with
hlm his struggle, until, after years of
labor, she overcame his devil, and saw
him free man again. Her battle with
Rum had been fierce one. taxing and
wasting her strength sorely, but she was
conqueror at last Her husband stood
upon manly feet and showed no sign of
falling again. Several years passed away,
and this reformed man fell ill of consump-
tion. The distinguished physician, from
whose lips we have the story, prescribed
alcoholic stimulants as the only means
possible of prolonging his life. The poor
wife was in terror, and begged the ply
sician to recall the prescription She told
him other long struggle and her victory
and said she preferred that her husband
should die then, a sober man, than that he
should fill drunkard's grave year later
But the freed spirit of the man was strong,
and he undertook to take alcoholic LIQUORS
as medicine, and to confne himself alb
solutely to such times and measures in the
matter as the physicians should prescribe.
This he did, and during the months thus
added to his life he never once drank a
single drop more than the prescription
called for, and he died at last sober man,
as the wife had so earnestly prayed that
he might. But the end was not yet. When
the loving and patient woman laid him in
his grave, and saw her long labors thus
ended in the victory for which she had
toiled so hard and suffered so bitterly, she
turned, in grief, to the brandy which had
been left in the house, and drinking it, she
fell herself into the power of the devil
which she had fought so heroically. And
that woman died, not many months later, a
hopeless, helpless drunkard,-Hearth and

How many people are they who
really know how to make mustard
plaster? Not one in hundred, at
the most, perhaps, and yet mustard
plasters are used in every family, and
physicians prescribe their application,
never telling anybody how to make
them for the simple reason that the
doctors themselves do not know, as a
rule. The ordinary way is to mix
the mustard with water, tempering
it with little flour, but such a plas-
ter as that makes is simply abomin-
able. Before it has half done its
work it begins to blister the patient,
and leaves him finally with painful,
tiayed spot, after having produced far
less effect in beneficial way than was
intended. Now mustard plaster
should never make blister at all II
a blister is wanted, there are other
plasters tar better than mustard for
thepurpose. When you make a mus
tard plaster, then, use no water what.
ever, but mix the mustard with the
white of an egg, and the result will
be a plaster which will 'draw" per-
fectly, but viii not produce a blister
even upon the skin of an infant, no
matter how long it is allowed to re-
main upon the part. For this we
have the word OF an old and eminent
physician, as well as our own expert.
