Beard to Have Damaged Goods There had been advertised what is commonly known as a ‘‘fire sale' in Philadelphia, but as, the rush of customers soon the en tire quantity of di muslin ad vertised. About one week after the sale a good housewife from the coun try entered the store and requested my aunt to supply her with ten yards of the damaged goods. She was told that the muslin ad vertised was sold nearly a week be fore, but that they were then selling aa good muslin which had not been damaged at the same price per yard The lady, however, refused idea, the answer, and was 80 persistent her desire that my aunt was com pelled to take ten yards of the eight cent muslin to the cellar and rinse it in a pail of water, for which, wet as it was, she received the same price as when dry. The customer mean time waited patiently and went away happy with her “damaged muslin.” —Cor, New York L The Khyengs’ First Woman. The Khyengs of Burmah are ably the only race or tribe of people that have any tradition of the origin of the human race that do not have a man or male human being in some way connected with that important event. The Khyend Genesis opens in this wise: “In the beginning of the world, after the sun, moon and stars had appeared, the earth, by its own inherent power of productive ness, brought forth a female creature, which was called Hleenen. She laid 100 eggs and hatched them in cotton wool, and from them sprang 100 hu man beings, the progenitors of the different races.” The least that can be said of this curious belief is that it is a fine illustration of the multiple theory as applied to the origin of the human race.—St. Louis Republic. Gold Coins In Duck's Gissard, I noticed the other day a Peking duck that was moping about and making strange motions with its head. I decided from its actions that it had some foreign substance in its digestive organs and would conse quently die. I therefore resolved to make an examination and see what it was. On opening the duck I found, to my surprise, two pieces of gold and a cartridge hull. The gold pieces , were too badly worn to tell of what denomination they were, but I think they must have been one dollar pieces. The cartridge hull was all worn away and gone except the head.—Cor, Atlanta Constitution, a New Wrinkle. A rather sndecunious party met a friend who was sporting a new suit of clothes. “Hello!” exclaimed the former, “where did you get those new clothes!” “Hush! it's a secret. I'll tell it to you if you'll promise not to give it away.” “TH promise. “You know there is a new doctor in town!” “Yea.” “Well, I sit in his office every morning to make the public believe that he has got a patient. —Texas Siftings. Why He Preferred to Die. In the year 1500 a preacher by the name of William Dorrington threw himself from the parapet of the Church of St. Sepulcher, in London. He left a note which gave as his reason for committing the act “that he wanted to go to the theater that night, but did not have the money wherewith to purchase the ticket of admission.” —Exchange. The subtleties of the Japanese mind are illustrated in nothing more strikingly than in their rules for the arrangement of flowers. Not only does every flower which a bouquet or a garland contains symbolize something, but its position with re gard to the other flowers is signifi cant. Dotted about all over Britain there are somewhere about 3,000 observers who send up to London periodical of weather experience on and in valleys, on moors and heaths, in towns and villages. Report comes from London of the discovery of the thistle as an article of food for man as well as beast. When boiled it is not unlike delicate turnip tops. Have night garments that will in sure the utmost degree of repose— provided of course that bedding and ventilation are also properly ar ranged. The costliest toy on record was a broken nosed wooden horse which belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte and was sold a year or two ago for 1,000 francs. The cancelling of several large or ders for steel, owing to the result of Tuesday’s election, as already re sulted in an announcement of a reduction of wages in the factory of King, Gilbert Co., Middleport, Ohio, the cut in some instances amounting to ten per cent, says the Press. A single order cancelled, our dispatch states, was for 1,000,000 pounds of steel. One dispatch also contains news of the cancellation of a $50,000 order for Ohio wool by a Baltimore buyer, on learning of the way in which the election went This is but the merest hint of what we may expect when the tariff smashers get to work. The town marshal of Yuma gets #40 a month. This was the $24 last month for killing dogs, and an appropriation of $15 was made for a dog pound if there was any thing in it for the marshal, Arsaema Kicker, NOT OUR WAY. Now that there is a very likelihood of our being nominated for state senator certain persons any wonder ing if we are going to let go of the mayoralty. In the land of Cicero, not much. We lea: long ago that in climbing a ladder a man ould not let with one hand until he gets a firm grip with the other. And we may go further than that and announce our intention of hanging on to what we have and pens whatever else we can. We ll believe that we have brains to serve us as editor, mayor and senator at the same time, and we'd be willing to take the postmaster ship on top of the heap. If a man strikes the right sort of gait out here he finds it a great country to develop his brain power. We've de aen. We not only want office, but the people want us to have it, and under such conditions we see no reason why we shouldn't be called “Governor” three or four years, hence. We know plenty of editors who claim to be modest and retir ing, and who urge that they have no time to serve the public in an of ficial capacity. We don't belong to that class. “If there is anything floating around we want it, and modesty won't stand in the way of getting it. We've also got lots of time at our disposal, and our fellow countrymen can’t heap and more ponare on us than we can take care of, a HORSE ON Fs. The editor of the Kicker (who is ourself) is no relic of the drift period. Neither is the mayor of this town (who is ourself) a fugitive from an eastern idiot asylum. Our contemporary is cackling and the boys around town are grinning over our little adventure of last Satur day night, but we fail to see where we je a fool of ourself. At eight o'clock we left our office to call at the adobe of widow Spooner. We may as well admit that we are sparking the widow with a view to matrimony, and have reached the head of her procession of admirers. In changing our clothes we forgot our gun, and were just halfway through the cnt at Murray Hill, when somebody jumped out of the darkness and ordered us to throw up our hands. We complied. We didn't wait to discover the source of the Mississippi river or figure on the popular vote for the presidency, put up hands then and there. We rec ognized the voice as a baritone be longing to French Joe, the cowboy, and we also had the advantage of knowing that Joseph always shoots blumb center and without wasting valuable time. We think our seem ing desire not to detain Joseph longer than necessary counted in our favor. As mayor of the town we have driven him into the suburbs on four or five different occasions. Once we raked his head with a bullet, and once we split his left ear. Naturally enough he sighed for revenge. When Soaeph saw that he had the m drop on us he ejected saliva on our Chicago plug hat. Later on, for his especial amusement, we knelt down and sang a song. When he ordered us to eat grass we felt that we were lucky in not having to eat sand. It is no use in denying that Joseph toyed with us and had heaps of fun at our expense. He is a hu morous cuss and did a great deal of laughing. He wanted an excuse to bore half a dozen holes in our anatomy, but we didn’t furnish his one. He kept us pretty busy for about an hour and then gave us a vacation. He is needless to add that we accepted his kind offer and put half a mile between us as speedily as possible. There may be some thing to laugh at, but we don’t see it. When a man gets the drop on us that ends it for the time being. We propose to do all the crawlin he demands. Joseph had us dea to rights, and we feel that we edict the right thing in the right place. It will be our turn next, however, attending to our duties as mayor and looking after Joseph at the same time, Ave shall find him with in a few days. We are no sport, but weve got F200 to wager, even that we plant. French Joe in our private paranerd within the next ten days, unless he dies of heart failure or leaves the country. THE GRAND LAMA'S PALACE. Eleven Story Dauling the Top of Which la Leached by Ladders. Potala, precipitons in many places, rises within the confines of the outer city of Lhasa in the northwestern uarter. It is up in the most taste style halla and storied temples and monster tombs; but, on looking up from the foot of these heights, the whole series seemed con joined into one vast structure, sur mounted by five-gold plated rec tangular domes of groat size. The chief erection is the Podang Marpe, or “Rei palace,” a buildi nwred up to the height of eleven stories and which is ascended from story to story by means of wooden ladders with broad but dificult steps. ‘This is the central edifice around which the others climb and cluster. The lower stories are built against the abeer'face of the acclivity. After passing up a steep path ave nued by trees, you arrive at the prin cipal or eastern doorway of the whole establishment. Hermit, is a long hall, up which yo ride on pony back if you chowe? hall is war nminbed on either hand by long rows of massive prayer cylinders, which, placed like barrels on end on well oiled pivots, can easily be made to revolve with a touch as you poss along. Each barrel has within it, wound compactly on the iron axle passing .n Top to bottom, innumerable kerths of paper, on which has been | stopped many thousands of times | the well known formula, “Om Mani Padme Slum,” the special invocation | to the Bodhiesttva Chennaisi, and therefore to the gound lama, who | visibly impersonates him. At the end of the hall are broad stone steps, Which mount to a paved landing, where stands an obelisk. You are now agin in the open air, and two long flights of steps, hemmed in by the outer walls of other bi ascend up the face of the hill to the ground floor of the red palace. Thence the ladder climbing com mences. Five long ladders, one after another, have to be sealed, passing up through dark and my vaults—really vestibules to the neigh boring buildings—some with weird looking passages conducting who shall know whither? At the top of the fifth ladder things «2 brighter, since now you enter the mmore hab itable portion of the palace, compris ing suites of rooms, set above set. On this floor, in an adjoining apart ment, are the lower limbs of an ele phantine image of Jhampa, the Buddha-to-come. He is seated on a platform in this room and his figure is of such colossal proportions that it passes up through the floors of the two other stories above this one. Altogether the image is said to be about seventy feet high. When you have reached the third floor of the upper portion of the palace you may walk around and gaze upon the mon ster head and shoulders of this gilded Buddha. All orthodox visitors on their way up perform solemn circumambula tion around the legs, the body and the shoulders respectively, once on each of the three foors through which the effigy has been reared.— Murray's Magazine. ‘The Discovery of the Magnetic Needle. The discovery of the magnetic needle was one of the most useful and remarkable of human discover ies. The needle, when placed paral lel to a conductor carrying an elec tric current, would be deflected from its position to the right or left, as the case might be. This discovery cre ated a great excitement among sci entists who disbelieved in its power. It was too simple to be of value, so they thought, but scientific minds began to study into the relationship between magnetism and electricity, and some went so far as to declare there existed a missing link, and commenced to investigate, experi menting silently, that if they failed no one should say, ‘I told you so,” as they often, say to unfortunate in vestigators in modern ties.—Boston Transcript. PRESSEX If it isn't too late we desire to say that we concede Texas to Gro ver. We'll all wear silken underclothes now that Grover has got in—in a barn.

We don’t see how they can ove bly keep up that cutting and ing business at Homestead now ae Grover is ejected! ~ How about that? The weather in nearly all the States was ideally beautiful on elec tion day. This shows that Jerry Rusk attended to his part of the business all right. If those election officers did cheat O'Donnell out of the mayoralty at San Francisco, the old quack will find it difficult to dig on jury that will convict them of he com mitted a crime; instead, they are likely to be tendered a vote of thanks and the freedom of the whole blooming country. Ex-Gov. Taylor of Tennessee has a new joke. It runs like this: Pat was about to die. The priest had been called and had administered the last services. Then he said: “Pat, is there anything else you de ee a — Pat. “I want to be lied in a third party graveyard. “Why, Pat,” said the eet, “why | re Bay your riverence,” sa ‘at,“a third party graveyard is the last place’ the Sayil would look for a Dimocrat.” World's Fair Matter: The territorial board of World’s Fair commissioners met yesterday afternoon. The session was taken up for the most part with the discussion of the cost of transportation and main taining the Arizona exhibit. The board finds itself slightly hampered by a lack of funds. It is estimated that the exhibit will amount to 100 tons. _ The legislative appropria tion was $30,000 of which has already been expended and the actual work of using the ex hibit little more than Another matter discussed was the construction of a building in Chi cago in conjunction with the terri tories of New Mexico and Okla homa. Mr. Behan specially dele gated in this matter came to Phe nix via Santa Fe where he met Mr. Llewellen, of the New Mexico board. Both New Mexico and Oklahoms are anxious to co-opera@® ® with Ari zona in the construction. The buildi: under consideration will cost $7400 of which one-third must be contributed by this territory. Governor Murphy ap, be fore the board and 4 favorable action in the matter. The relief map project was also introduced and the appropriation asked for this purpose is $3,000. The board could not agree to ado both though a majority admit the super ior usefulness of the map of the ter ritory at this particular time, in as much as the enterprise will receive a considerable outside aid.—Repub lcan. The Eyes of a Thief. A characteristic thief's eye is one whose lower lid is straight, while the upper one is more or less arched. The straight lower lid is always no ticeable, however, the effect being a very cunning and foxlike expression. Detectives usually have very notice able eyes, keen and clear, although one of the very best thief takers that the writer has ever known has big brown eyes, as innocent in expres sion as are those of a frank and hon est schoolboy. This is his natural expression, but when he becomes interested in anything his lids close and his gaze is as penetrating as that of an eagle.— Pittsburg Press. Too Much Tinkering. Mrs. Winks—I see the question of omitting the word “obey” from the marriage service is up again. Mrs. Minks — Yes, it's perfectly abominable the way they are tinker ing at the marriage service. They'll be leaving out “love and honor” next and bring the beautiful sacra ment down to a commonplace civil contract. Well, I must be going. I want to take this bundle to the tail or's before his place is shut up. It is some of my husband's dads which he told me to mend, but I think I see myself. Goodby, dear. — New York Weekly. No Extra Session, New York, Nov. 14.—A democrat ic paper says that it is permitted to announce authoritatively that it is the present determination of Ex- President Cleveland not to call an extra session of congress after his inauguration on March 4 next. It is further announced that in the es timation at proof Mr. Cleve land and his closest friends an ex traordinary session would turn out to be a profitless proceeding. His friends say that Mr. Cleveland must have time after inauguration to look over the ground. There is a natural objection to the re-assemb ling of congress immediately after inauguration, on the ground that it would have more or less of an un settling influence on the business of the country. The grand jury are grinding out adictments cial evil doers. Money that Changed Hands in New York. New York, Nov. 15.—The men who made bets on the results of the election are now looking around for the stakeholders. Michael Dwyer is said to have won $75,000. He put up about $180,000 at big odds to win. Joseph J. O'Donoghe won over $20,000. Edward Murphy, J., wins about $40,000. Edwar Kearney will be $5,000 better of when he collects his bets. Subway Commis sioner Walton Storm captures $12, 500. Bookmaker J. Mahoney made $25,000. Eddie Talcott wins 35,000; Louis Bell, $5,000; Ed Stokes, $5,000; Wm. J. Thomson, $30,000; Pat Duffy, of New Orleans, 320,000 from from President Walbaum, of Guttenburg; H. A. Hart, $15,000. Dave Martin lost about $50,000; Bookmaker Wheelock Lee Billy Edwards, about $200,000 he held as stake money, and Bookmaker Fred Lowe, about $12,500. Julian Wool, Australian wool production , is now their factor in determini the world’s supply and market val ues in other countries, and the indi cations are that competition from this source will continue to grow more era previous in Australia had no place amongst the wool producing Yountties of the world, her total clip in that year amounting to only 2,860,000 pounds. In 189 the product had increased to 400,879,240 pounds—a growth which under ordinary circum stances would have effectually swamped any competing produc tion. No wonder the world’s prices have declined under this enormous expansion.— Citizen. Extensive Irrigation. One of the most gigantic irriga tion schemes coer ced in United States is being perfected at Yuma. The canal is to be 126 miles long, 120 feet wide, and 100 feet deep. The water will be taken out of the Colorado river ten miles above. The project is in the hands of New York, Denver and San Francisco canalists, and is being rapidly pushed. Water will run constantly in this great canal, and it will be used for the transporta tion of the great fruit crops for shipment over the Southern Pacific railroad to Yuma. “Bucky” O'Neill, chairman of the Worlds” Pair commission for Ari zona, arrived ince yesterday from Prescott and will remain in the city about a week,—Gazette, ARIZONA NEWS. Governor Murphy, yesterday ap pointed Will D. Basen World’s fale commissoner, vice Wm. O. O'Neill relted. Mr. Barnes is one of the well known stockmen of A sutu, and the appointment is one of the very best that could be made. As taken of the prisoners in the Yuma penitentiary just before election stood: Cleveland 82, Har rison 10, Smith 81, Stewart is. This explains why Smith's majorities weren't any greater. The value of the mineral output of Arizona for the year ending June 30, 1892, wean lpess to the governor's report, was as follows: Copper, $4, 500,000; gold, $3,000,000; silver, $2, 200,000. This aggregates $9,000, 700,000, an increase of $2,000,000 over the previous year. Workmen ‘on the sewer, yester ’ day, again uncoverd the skeletons of two human beings. One was the frame of a grown person, dug up in a spnce cued between ‘Jefferson ’ jeg, the other one that of an infant, fous, on Cortez street, between Jeferson and Madison. Both of the skeletons had ollas over their heads, apparently having been placed there when they were buried. —Phenix Gazette. Col. William Herring has been retained by both the republican and democratic committees to be pres ent at the opening of the returns by the supervisors on Monday next, and act in behalf of the candi dates on either ticket. The pecu liar condition under which the can vass by the board will be made sel dom pees. Each member of the body that will canvass the votes was a candidate for office at the selection. The clerk of the and the district attorney also were candidates,— Prospector. The vote is so close between the candidates for the Assembly that it will require the official count to set tle the question as to who are to serve us in the lower branch of the next legislature.—St. Johns Herald. It is dpe ieecothces of our cattle meg to everything next split which they see ages of. Thc. Some of those who were up at the son, are smiling over their faces, while others look as if they had just returned from the ru peat of eea and best friend, people of this county, scu larly in the western dens are very unreliable when it comes to voting. They promise — thre-fifths and two-thirds of their votes to one party, but when the ballots are counted the other party has a good majority. They will go into a con vention and if they to dictate the nominations, will return home and show their own candidate un der. It has been done twice in suc cession, yet they demand recogni tion as party men. An open enemy eemes a secret foe. —Ibid. The Butcher's Gazette of San Francisco says: Arizona stockmen will undoubtedly do well to inves tigate the California market. Ro deo, before the end of the present one will be the nea paaki ten of Rifle Coast, and this will open an outlet for the disposal of large quan tities of stockers and feeders. It has taken over two years to out this gigantic enterprise, as over have been expended, and now on the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad, only twenty-five miles distant from the metropolis, San Francisco, will rank as a market for cattle, sheep, hogs and horses with Chicago, Oma ha and Kansas City. The World's Fair Board Without a Head. Gen. Wm. O. O'Neill, president of the territorial board of world’s fair managers, yesterday laid his resig nation before Governor eer The action of General O'Neill is something of a surprise to his co laborers, and the causes which but about were also unfore seen by himself.

He originat the pro ject of the relief fk and had been parts assured by the board that the project would be supported. On thest of such assurance as he had received he carried the matter before various eastern scientific bodies and had enlisted their inter est in the plan, contingent only upon the support of it by the of the $30,000, appropriated for world’s fair purposes only about $4,000 remained for the expenditure of which no arrangement had been wholly or partially made. In the meantime matter of co o ting with New Mexico and Okla homa in the erection of a building at Chicago came up. Day before yesterday the found itself under obligations to choose be tween the building and the map. A decision was made in favor of the former. Gen. O'Neill was bitterly disappointed as were probably a large majority of persons who taken any interest in the success of Arizona’s exhibit.
