WE were walking down the street the
other evening, a short distance behind a
couple, evidently man and wife. The
night was still and calm and beautiful ga,
is the light of a dark eye in woman"
The leaves OF the cOttOnwoods rustled and
whispered low and soft. The streets were
quiet. The valley slept. The evening star
was melting in the west. There was an
animated discussion going on between the
man and woman, the latter irving to melt
the former into allowing the wife of his
bosom TO purchase some striped stockings
she had just seen in one OF the stores. But
it was evidently a hard task and unpromis-
ing of success. Said she, Now, James,"
said he, It's no sorter use. Anastasia,
l never will consent; striped stockings
and can never occupy the same couch"
Couch" said she, "who said anything
about couch? You never knew me 10 do
such a thing as to wear my stockings to
bed, and you ought TO be ashamed of your
self, trying TO divert me from my purpose
by introducing side issues" eyes," said
he, aside issues; you do we'll 10 talk ofside
issues instead of combining yourself TO the
legitimate subject; but you might just as
well shut up, for, measuring my words,
knowing their full extent and import, L here
declare that you can't have any striped
stockings" "Now Jamsie," said she. and
her voice trembled with pleading pathos,
" do be good. II you will only get me just
two pairs OF those with the wide stripes
and that come way up, I'll do lots ofthing's
for you" Then followed a sort OF running
dialogue: "Will your" "No." "If you
will, I'll let you smoke in bed" mo"
"rll let you sleep as long as you want every
Sunday morning." "No." "Pll comb
the dandruf out of your head whenever
you ask me to-" " No." "I'll never put
starch again in your undershirts.9 NO"
"rll part your hair behind, every morn
ing" mo" an put two pistol pockets
in your next pants" mo" "Pll let you
name one OF our next children, II they are
twins" mo" (Weak.) "I'll let you take
Hostetters Bltters again for your dyspep-
sia." "No.' (Faint.) "pli scratch your
back every night for a week" Well,
WELL" said he, If you'll just give me a
rest, I'll think about It," And then she
leanedi heavily on his arm and looked up
at him with smile OF gratitude that sent
an ecstacy of twinkllng among all the
stars OF the night.

Mr.. FRED G. HUGHES, one OF the solid
men OF the Santa Rita placers, arrived in
town from those gold fields April IS, on
business. No ordinary business either.
He came in to get married. You would
have known that such was his purpose, il
he had kept 1t perfectly secret and you
hadn't heard a word Oft. One look at his
face at any hour o. the day, in the early
part of the week would have told anybody
but detective that Mr.. Hughes wasn't
married and that he intended to get mar
ried right of. There was an air of reckless
and concentrated happiness about him
which accumulated nuggets never could
have conferred and which could only re-
suit from a prospect of welded bliss. AS
will be seen by looking elsewhere in TO
days CITIZEN, Mr.. Hughes was married
on Thursday evening. He gave a very
pleasant entertainment to his friends on
the fateful night and is now a happy mar
ried man. After spending a short time in
town he VIII return with his wife to a more
contented life than formerly at Santa RI

The Silver City Herald, of April Is,
says:
BY letter from Clifton, A. T., dated
10th inst, we are informed that Indians
had stolen seventeen mules from the
Longfellow Copper Mining Company.
4 party is in pursuit.
George Arlington, now in Jail here,
on the charge of stealing cattle from
III. c. Hooker, of Arizona, this morn
ing presented a begrimed appearance.
/ During the night he attempted to make
his egress through the chimney, but
was stopped in consequence Of his food
having frucufied and swelled him be
Iyond the measure of the chimney.
Hooker expresses a painful anxiety for
the re-capture of Joe Crump, and Of
Ifers $3.50 reward for his apprehension.
Major Downing, of Guaymas, Mex
leo, with his large mule tram, the finest
we have seen for some time, arrived

to do Il general freighting business to
and from this point.
Official information has been receiv-
ed at Fort Bayard, that the Mescalero
Apaches have left the Fort Stanton res
deviation, and are now on the war path.
Since the United States is cutting
down expenses, we would suggest TO
Congress that the sitting of the New
Mexican Legislature might be curtailed
to biennial sessions, which is far too
often for the enactment of such laws
as were passed at the last session, which
are a disgrace to any age or any coun-
try.

On Wednesday last several ladies and
gentlemen OF Tucson gave a most delight
ful picnic at the Mission Mills, just west
OF town, The affair was perfect success
and lasted from morning till evening.
There was music and dancing and feasting
and fun, and fun Of the most innocent and
hearty kind. We wish we had room to tell
about it. We haven't heard such general
praise OF an effort at pleasure in a long
time, and it was so unpretending too. The
romantic mill and the bright day and the
charming ladies are sufficient explanation
Of the success OF this picnic. It's success
will undoubtedly lead TO repetition ofsuch
festivals.

Mr.. T. G. RUsK came in from Santa
Rita with his family on the 18th, and will
shortly return there, leaving his family
for the present in town. Mr.. Rusk is one
of the pioneers of the Santa Rita placers,
and while he hasn't saved a fortune since
he has been working there he says he has
taken out a large amount Of gold and ex-
poets to take out more. His expenses
have been heavy and water is scarce, and
there are difficulties to be encountered,
but, all the same, the placers are rich and
will pay working well, under more advan-
tageous circumstances. We should Ike
to hear of Green Risk striking pocket
one of these days and taking out a fortune
In a few hours.

III view Oh TUG recent murders ana
Idepredations by the Chiricahua Apa-
ches, the citizens of the San Pedro
settlements met at Tres Alamos on
the 18th instant for the purpose of
expressing their views and taking
action in the premises. They organ
lied q meeting, elected chairman
and secretary, and passed the follow
ing resolutions, viz:
Whereas; Numerous depredations
have of late been committed by Ind
isns in this and surrounding settle
ments, against the property and
peace of our citizens, and finally cul-
minating in the most brutal murder of
Messrs. Rogers and Spence at Sui
lphur Springs, on the It'll instant ::
and on the following day the murder
of Mr.. Lewis on the San Pedro river,
shot down in cold blood, without notice
or provocation, while engaged in his
fields in the quiet and peaceful pur-
suit of agriculture, and whose prop
erty and stock were destroyed or
stolen, including four large American
horses, of the total value of $1,000,
And whereas, a young Mexican. an
assistant on Mr.. Lewis ranch was shot
at several times by these ssvages, a
ball passing through his shirt, close
to the region of his heart, and who
only saved his life by flight to the
swamp.
And whereas, neighbor to Lewis,
by the name of Brown, was shot at
several times with needle-guns, and
badly wounded, and his house pillaged
and the contents destroyed or carried
away by those murderous fiends who
are understood to be under the care
and control of one 7. ]. Jeffords, as
their authorized Agent, the Indians
and animals stolen having been track
ed to the Chiricshua Reservation,
where, as we believe, they still re-
main.
And whereas. it has been q notorious
fact, within the knowledge of many
of our best citizens for months past,
that these Indians have been murder
ing, robbing, and stealing stock from
the people of our neighboring State
of Sonora, Mexico, passing publicly
in broad daylight through our settle
ments with their plumber to the CHR
icahua reservation, and we being forced
to the conclusion that the United States
Indian Agent on that reservation is at
least no stranger to their acts of bar
bsrity, crime and bloodshed, and that
instead of mis- being protector to our
people, it seems as though he connived
at the crimes of these infamous saw
ages and prostituted his Office for the
purpose of shielding their guilt and
preventing the criminals from being
brought to Justice.
We therefore resolve, for the pre-
servation of ourselves, our wives, our
children and our property, to organ
ize ourselves into q home guard OF
company of minute men, for mutual
protection and public safety.
After the reading of the above
resolutions, company of minute men
was properly organized, and reported
themselves ready for immediate duty,

WE have heard some inquiries made
and general desire expressed that the
coming Fourth of July be celebrated here
in a manner worthy of Arizona and the
Centennial year. In order to do this the
matter should be taken hold of at once,
as one of the features of the celebration
should be fine display of fire works, and
to obtain them orders must be sent i'm.
mediately 1t has been suggested that
ample preparations be made for grand
display and invitations to participate be
extended to the towns Of the Territory,
and also to the State and municipal officials
of Sonora. We believe that if proper ar.
rangements are made several thousands
of our neighbors might be assembled here
and a glorious time assured. The chill
dren are already looking forward to the
Fourth, with bright anticipatioDs, and we
hope they will not be disappointed.
