Again hear that ereAking Htepi
He's knocking at the door !
Too well know the boding sound
That ushers in 3 bore.
I DO not tremble when meet
The stoutest Of my fees,
But heaven defend me from the friend
Who comes but Rever goes.
He drops into an easy chair,
And asks about the news;
He PeepB into my manuscript
And gives his candid views,
He tells me where he likes the line,
And where he's forced to grieyei
He takes the strongest liberties
But never takes his leayel
He reads my daily papers through
Before I've seen word;
He scans the lyric tthat wrotel,
~ And thinks Il quite absurd;
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And coolly asks for more;
He opens everything he sees
Except the entry door.
He talks about his fragile health,
And tells me Of the pains
He suffers from score Of ills,
OF which he meier complaint
And how he struggled once with death
To keep the hend at bayi
a On themes like those away he goes
But never goes away.
He tells me OF the shallow words
Some carping critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familiarly can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong;
He'd like to run him through
He sayt thousand pleasant things
But never says Adfeu"

s@ General William Vardever,
the first Inspector Of Indian
affairs for this Territory and New
Mexico, arrived on Sunday last
via Ehrenberg. He came down
the Colorado river in an open
boat to this place-accompanied
by Mr.. Van G. Smith of New
Mexico. We should judge Gen.
Vandever to be about 80 years of
age; well preserved and possess
ing fine physique. His manners
are those of quiet, unassuming
gentleman, commanding the res
pect of all who meet him.
1t is to be hoped that his tour
through the Territory and his in
spectiOn of the different Indian
Reservations will be prod uctive
of good to all, and that his report
will be straightforward and cor
rect. We believe it will be.
The General and Mr.. Smith left
for California on the San Diego
stage, last Monday morning.

MILITARY AND OTHER NEWS.
Gen. Crook and Maj. A. w.
Evans have gone on a tour of in
spection. They left Verde few
days ago, for Apache, Grant, Tue
son and other points. Providence
permitting, they will be in Pres
colt in less than a month.
Col. Nelson, of the Pay Depart
ment. has recently paid the troops
at Verde, and is preparing to
start south to pay other troops.
Lit. Reilly, 5th Cav, Lit. COwes,

Capt. Thos. Byrne, commander
of Camp Beale Springs, his guide

(WallapaD and Sheerum, chief of
the Wallapai Indians, will soon
start hOmewards. Capt. Byrne
deserves well of the people of this
Territory for successful efforts in
keeping the .Wallapais peaceable.
and Mr.. Smith, who has been
of great benefit to the Cap
tain in his dealings with the
Wallapais. Mr.. Sheerum has
been very bad Indian, but, as
he is now "subjugated" and re-
conciled, it is we'll enough to
treat him well. He led the par
ty that massacred some miners in
Wallapai district several years
ago.
Two companies of troops left
Verde recently, to put the finish
ing touches on the new road to
Apache.
Lieut.. John G. Bourke is fill
ing the position of A. A. A. Gen

same Bourke who gave up an
easy place at West Point for hard,
active service under Gen. Crook.
DR.. MacGruder. medical difec~
tor of this department, and a
Lieutenant of the Fifth Cavalry,
whose name we have forgotten,

TO the Press
The great event of the compile
ton of the main trunk of the Mil
itary Telegraph, was consumma-
ted on Tuesday last by the arri-
val at this point of the Construc-
ton party from San Diego.
Work was commenced on this
line at San Diego by one party
Aug. 28th; by a second party at
Prescott, September I'd; a third
party at Yuma Sept. 18th; and a
fourth party at Maricopa Wells
October 18th. Length of wire
strung AT miles. The labor has
been performed by soldiers nnder
civilian foremen. The number of
working days in the aggregate,
1877.
The date of completion of their
work is more than one month
sooner than the earliest date set
by the Superintendent at the
commencement of operations
Remembering tho great distance
the poles and material had to be
moved, the difficulties of supply
ing working parties with water
and forage on the dry barren
plains, and the intense heat
which has prevailed most of the
time, the completion of the line
thus early surprises all, even
those who have borne the heat
and burden of the day.
The General Superintendent of
Construction, location of route,
etc., was under charge of R. r.
Haines of the Western Union Tel.
Co., assisted by Capt. George F.
Price, of the Fifth Cavalry; fore
men of construction, D. McKil.

E9 Mr.. Chas Baker, merchant
of Yuma, presented US the other
day with a roll of nice, fresh but
ter made on his own ranch, about
seven miles below here. He has
this butter for sale in his store
here. We would recommend our
citizens who like fresh, fine fla
vored butter, to give Mr.. Baker a
call. All such Industries should
be encouraged by the people.
There is no good reason why the
farmers of Arizona should not
make all the butter used in the
Territory.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.

Boss Tweed has been found
guilty on every count, and SEN
fenced to four years in the peni-

The severest storm that has
been known for years, prevailed
Tuesday night last, throughout
New York, the New England
States, and Canada.
Philadelphia papers agree that
the difficulties in the way of the
California Construction Company
are at an end; and that the Com
pany will have no trouble in OBJ
tanning all the needed extension
for its paper. Parties concerned
in the enterprise are among the
strongest, financially, in the coun-
try; while the Com pany has i'm
mensely valuable resources, and
is sure to go on safely.

From the Arizona Citizen of Nov. Is.
Matters about San Carlos.

Our advices from San Carlos are
up to Nov. 6, and are to this
effect:
Lieutenant Rice left here yes
terday to hunt up some rascally
Indians who come in semi-Occa-
sionally for rations, and are be-
lieved to be out stealing between
visits. He has ten men and some
Indians with him.
Preparations are making to sow
125 or 90 acres of wheat for the
wards here. Most of the lands
are cleared, and some of the fen
cling done. The irrigation is 60
ing on rapidly. and the blowing
and sowing will begin on Monday
next.
Mr.. G. II. Stevens has bought
the Eureka Springs station and
let a contract to have 10000 ado
bes made at once, and intends
improving the place for a stock
ranch and home, which shows his
faith in the peace Of the reds. The
employees of the agency are busy
putting up chinneys to theh
tents for winter.
Some of the employees would
leave here, but they have learned
that Indian Ee,fchers are selling
at from 75c. TO as low as soc. in
Tucson, and dull sale tany price.
Our Prescott correspondent says
on the receipt OF the news ofGen.
Crooks late appointment, a gene
raj Notification occurred. Many
in civil and military circles called
on Mrs. Gen. Crook, and were
properly entertained. Speeches

their hearts any the less "thank-
