We could have put on our dig. and cussed the boys and order. ed 'em out. but we'd have lost at least eight subscribers and been defeated next election. We did hope our fraternal brother would appreciate our private graveyard, but when we drove him out there and made him understand that it was all due to our personal energy and ambition, he fell into a stupor and couldn’t speak for an hour. As soon as he could get his legs to hold his body up he left town, and we must admit that we were rather glad of it. Eastern people can't or won’t understand us, and it is better that they pass on their way without stopping. The Arizona Kicker. HOW JIM WHIELOCX RENEWED HIS SUBSCRIPTION Tazuz'ro. Us and the Boysâ€"For the past five or six days the editor and proprietor of the Kicker, who is also Mayor-of the town, a candidate for the Territorial (30000“ and a candidate for Postmaster. has been honored with the company of an Eastern editor, who came west to get rid of his asthma. He came to find a certain hale fellow well met sort of soci- ety in this county, but the real state of things amazed and disappointed him. For instance, he hadn't been in the Kick- er ofiice over half an hour when old Jim Wheelock kicked the front door open, M. QUAD. stuffed a $2 bill into the muzzle ofa o six-shooter and fired it at our subscrip- Horse Language, tiou beck. His subscription had run out, and he wanted to renew it, and his action was perfectly natural and all right. We had to'dodgc the bullet, of course, but that’s what is expected of a Western editor. We repeat, we saw nothing un- usual in this, and yet that Eastern editor turned pale and shivered and wanted to go right away on the stage. He assured us that if a subscriber should do such a thing in New York, Boston or Philadelphia he’d be arrested and jailed for his hilarity. - Following old Jim came Dan Strothers, half drunk, as usual, and he helped himself to the contents of our jug, took both hands off the ofiice clock and put them in his pocket and. then pocketed a dozen ox- changes and walked off without a word. Our visitor from the East was amazed that we permitted any such familiarity, saying that it would be considered al- most a state prison offence in his juris- diction, and when we laughed at him he seemed hurt. We'd like to see a critter run a newspaper out here on the exclusive society plan! If we had edi- torial rooms on the f0urth floor and obliged people to send up their cards, every window pane and door panel Would be shot out. before we could write up too .lines on a dog fight. People in this locality want to see and feel of an editor a dozen times a day. The edi- torial rooms must be handy to drop into, and there must be vacant places on the editorial table for subscribers to rest their heels. Our leading editorial of two weeks ago, entitled “ The Business Outlook " was written on a. table on which seven different subscribers had both feet. During the first three months of our career here we were very eaclusivo, and the result was that we had only eleven subscribers, and were notified by the Vigilance Committee to come off the perch or have a barrel kick- ed out from under us. Dan Strothers goes out with a gun about four times a year and rounds up a dozen subscribers for us each time, and we can't afford to put on any freezing dignity with him, not even if he takes the pendulum as well as the hands off our clock. Before attending the Friday night meeting we sought to prepare our friend for several little emergencies which might arise, but as he saw us buckle on our guns just previous to starting out he seemed dismayed. As a matter of course, when the alderman come together here on council nights they slap the mayor on the back and call him old man and exhibit a brotherly feeling. When our Eastern friend witnessed this fraternal greeting he was shocked. He said that the New York alderman who should dare slap the mayor on the back or put. a boot against his coat~tails would be treated as a dangerous lunatic. Dur- ing the session Alderman Scott of the Third Ward arose at the wrong time to state the need of a lateral sewer down Jim Crow alloy. We called him to order, and he got mad and insisted that he had the floor. Nothing but the sight of two guns peeping over our desk would bring Alderman Scott to time, and we’ve made him lie down so often that it seems part of the routine proceed- ings. On this occasion be promptly threw up his hands, and the affair was all over in thirty seconds, but our East- oru visitor was whiter than flour and couldn't hold his chin still. He said he wouldn‘t be mayor of this town one day for all the silver in the Territory, and that if such an incident had occurred in Boston the whole population of the State of Massachusetts would have stood up on their hind legs and howled with indignation. Next day we took him over to the mayor's ofiice in the City Hall. We forgot to drop him a pointer, and the result was another great ~shoek. The boys made us mayor and naturally feel at home in our office. When we entered there werc three of them sitting at our desk and a half a dozen others occupy. ing the chairs, and the gang were try- ing to get up a fight between a rat and a gopher. )verything was free and easy and every body good natured. Our Eastern friend rolled his ayes. in horror and almost fainted away. He said that if such a thing were to occur in Bufi’alo My horse has a low whinny which means “water,” and a higher keyed. more emphatic neigh means “ food." When I hear these sounds I know as definitely what she means as if she spoke in English. This morning, passing along the street, I heard that same low whinny, and looking up saw a strange horse regarding me with a pleading look. I knew he was suffering from thirst, and no language could make it plainer. The language of the lowor animals is not all articulate. It is largely a sign language. The horse does a deal of talking by motions of the head and by his wonderfully expressive looks. He also, upon occasion, talks with the other extremity. A peculiar switch of the tail and a gesture, as if threatening to kick, are equine forms of speech. The darky was not for wrong who said of the kicking mule, “ It’s just his way of talk- ing.”â€"-Science2 Freeing a. WtilIof Foul Air. “ I saw,” said a writer in a Western paper, “ a curious method used, the other day, in Illinois to take foul air out of‘a well. The well was to be cleaned. but the man who took the ‘job was afraid to go down until he had ascer- tained the quality of the air at the bot- tom. ' Ho let downa lighted candle, and when it had descended to about six feet from the bottom it went out as sud- denly as if extinguished by a whiff of air. That was all he wanted to know. He was then sure that the well had poisonous gas in it, and took a small umbrella, tied a string to the handle and lowered it open into the well. Having let it go nearly to the bottom, he drew it up, carried it a few feet from the well and upset it. He repeated this operation twenty or thirty times, with all the by- standers laughing at him; then again IOWered the light, which burned clear and bright even at the bottom. He then condescendcd to explain that the gas in the well was carbonic acid gas, which is heavier than the air, and therefore could be carried in an umbrella, just as though it were so much water. It was a simple trick, yet perfectly effective.” -0â€" An Extraordinary Fish Story. The fish in the neighborhood of Sierra Leone, West Africa, are credited with some extraordinary behavior. It is only a short time since that one of these maâ€" rine wonders ran off with a small boat which was moored in Freelam Harbor, and a correspondent, writing from Sierra Leone, reports the drowning of a man by a huge fish which leaped into the canoe and knocked him overboard. The man, whose name was Stephen Pratt, was a fisherman, and along with a young man was fishing in a canoe at Cline Town Wharf. A fish of immense size leaped into the boat, striking Pratt se- verely on the face and body and render- ing him unconscious. In this state he fell over the side of the canoe into the water. His lines were tied to his feet and partly to the cocoa. and being thus entangled he ultimately sank: In the meantime the fish had wiggled audjump- cd until it had jumped out of the boat again, and soon disappeared in the water. The young man who was with Pratt at once gave the alarm, and sev- eral persons were attracted to the spot. The fishing lines were hauled up and at the end was found Pratt quite dead. The body was subsequently brought to land for interment. Pratt was a native of Kisey, a town near Freetown. The whole circumstances, although of so ex- traordinary a nature, are said to be per- fectly true, and wore verified by the au- trorities. The strange affair happened on the morning of the 5th ult. .. -..â€"_._ ._._ Lord Roberts says he has under his command in India 14,000 British sold- iers pledged to total abstinence.
