iEt Reinleer.

TlIe reindeer, which in one way OF another manages Co be almost the entire support of the Laps who have large herds, Is heavy animal, with remark able independence of character. He will not accept shedding under cover. DO matter how indictment the weather mav be. Neither will he eat any food that k offered Lim; he prefers 60 seek his ovu susteuaucc, which consists principally of peculiar moss, and as this grows very slowly, requiring about seven years m which Co reach maturity, the Lap must shift his home from time Co time to meet the nee, ssit.es of his herd. Tn mldwInte- tine moss may be covered by several feet of snow, but the reindeer digs hole with his feet and disappears from tue surface, burrOwing his way through the snow as he follows his nose from one tuft uf grass to another The flesh oi the reindeer Is quite palatable and nutritious, his siIu makes vtrv warm garments as well as durable har- ness, and cheese made Of reindeer miik Is very rich, although the quantity of milk yielded per day is scarcely worth the taking, as it amounts ,C a mere tea cupful.

TOMBSTONE.

The Tombstone Epitaph insists upon
 attributing to the CITIZEN motives and
 sentiments of which it is incapable. We
 are sorry to see our esteemed cotempo-
 rary take such narrow views of the mo-
 lives of others When the citizens of
 Tucson asked for the removal of the
 Apaches, the Epitaph must accuse them
 of mercenary motives instead of those
 which did actuate them-a desire to se- cure the permanent peace and prosper
 ity of the Territory. And now that the
 CITIZEN has taken occasion to speak of
 a disgraceful state Of affairs which the E-pitaph ought to mite with us in con- demning, this paper is taken to task as being hostile to Tombstone. Such is not the case, however. The evils of which the CITIZEN then treated affect the whole Territory, as well as Tomb stone, and 1t is for the interest of all to have them abated. The place to secure their correction is at the coming munici- pal and county elections. We only cited the arrest of the Sheriff for fast driving as showing the quarrel existing between | the city and county officials, and the l statement of the Epitaph that a city of- icer had been arrested by a county off, | ger for some alleged tTihing infraction |
 law simply strengthens the point made | .y this journal. The CITIZEN fully recog-
 izes the importance of Tombstone as the chief mining camp in the Territory, md because of that fact desires to have t well governed. That disorder has elgneu In UJnuI l,,-So5 --...-l-, 5z no ius- tifcation of the present condition of af-
 airs in Tombstone. The effort should at once be made to remedy the evils which now iniure the fair fame of Tomb rtane. and through it the whole Territo- IT.. There IS d large class of intelligent, law abiding citizens in the city, and they should, if possible, shape affairs so as to prevent the recurrence of the scenes of the last few months The CITIZEN will be pleased to record the triumph of this element at the polls.

THE GoyERNoRsHIP

The delay in the appointment of Gov. Fremont's successor rather strengthens the hope that it is the Presidents inten- ton to make the appointment from among the residents of the Territory. If such is his intention, to act in good faith, he should appoint the gentleman who has the strongest local backing. Hon. John J. Gosper is beyond a ques- ton the choice of the people for that po- sitiOn by large majority. He is in the line of evil service promotion, having made an efficient Secretary and an Act Irg Governor during the major portion of Fremont's term, and the people are satisfied that he would make a satisfac- tory administration as Chief Executive of the Territory. His familiarity with the details of the office and acquaintance ship with the problems arising from the pecuharities of our population and in- terests give him Gn advantage over any untried man, be he a resident or non resident of the Territory. Tn view of these facts, and uniniluenced by personal or sectional interests, the CITIZEN has urged the appointment of Mir. Gosper, and it Is now considered highly probable that unless the President yields to out side political pressure and appoints some Eastern statesman, the gentleman We have named will be the next Govern or of the Territory.

How Poe Met His Death.

Speaking of Poe, says the New York
 correspondent of the Rochester Demo
 crat, 1t may be said that he won enduring
 distinction III American authorship bv
 that unique method or solving the mvs-
 terious which will probably never be
 equalled. His works, however, do not
 have that sale which might be expected.
 and the publisher informed me that it
 was less than 2OO0 copies annually. Con siderlng the rank Poe holds in htera- ture, this IS certainly very small, espe- cially when 4G,0O0 copies of Byron are sold at the same time. Byron, however. mastered the emotional nature, while Poe merely acquires the operation of our analytical powers. Speaking of Poe, 1t may be added that the manner of his own death Is now mystery. He died Tn Baltimore from the effects of il de
 bauch, which Is all that can be said with certainty. This occurred, however, dur Ing very exciting political canvass, and both parties got men drunk in order te hold them in readiness for the ballot box. It Is believed by some who are well informed on the subject that Poe was supposed to be an ordinary loafer and was treated in this manner and for such purpose, but died of the excess. It was then learned that the miserable in- ebriate who had been caged up in order -o secure hls vote, was one of the first l luthors of his age. Such at least Is the l most creditable statement in connection l with the case

Suspicious SymDtoms

\ minister who was perhaps not too careful in his habits was induced by his friends to take the tetotal pledge. His health appeared to suffer, and his doctor ordered him to take one glass of punch daily.
 "Ohr' said he, "I dare not Peppv my old housekeeper, would tell the whole parish"
 When do you shave?' the doctor asked.
 In the morning"
 Then" said the doctor, "shave at night; and when Peggy brings you up your hot water you can take your glass of punch just before going to bed"
 The minister 2iterward appeared to improve Tn health and spirits. The doc tor met Peggy soon after, and said:
 I'm glad to hear, Peggy, that your master Is better"
 " Indeed, sir, he's better, but his brains affected; there's something wrang vi his mind"
 "How?'
 ."Why, doctor, he used to shave at night before going to bed. but now he slaves Tn the morn, he slaves before dinner, he slaves after dinner, he slaves at nlght-he's aye shavin'."- Harpers Magazine.

4 CORRESPONDENT of the Engineering and Mining Journal writing from Tomb stone, after speaking of a number of wildcat operations in this Territory, gives the Rescued from the Total Wreck the following send-off.
 There is another pretty job now on the tapis, called the Rescued from the Total Wreck. This is taken up by a combination of lawyers and one nonde- script editor, against one of the best properties in the Territory-The Total Wreck Company, in the Empire Dis trict The claim which these parties set up to this property has no merit what ever. They have organized a company under the name of the Rescued from the Total Wreck, and are now, and have been, trying to induce fools tc buy 1t at from SIX to twenty-five cents per share Tom Fitch, the silver-tongued, Is at the head.

 TIE Western Homestead thus speaks Of the influences which is retarding the growth of the southwest:
 A serious drawback to the settlement of some of the richest sections of our territorial lands, is the aggressive atti- tude assumed by the Indians to settlers. The government does not seem to deal practically with these savages and draws on its kid gloves while handling them a consideration not at all appreciated by the Sitting Bulls and Shagnasty Jims, who control the counsels of the nations wards" So long as the Apaches, Utes and Sioux are provided with better breech-loade-s then our soldiers, and allowed to indulge in actual outbreak and massacre before attempts are made to suppress them, so long will the rich farm, pasture and mineral lands of New Mexico, Arizona and Texas be wastes and wilderness to the general run of immigrates and settlers.

IRE examination of the parties inter- ested in the late shooting scrape at Tombstone continues to drag its slow length along. The defense Is making a strong case and the whole affair seems to present different aspect than was given 1t by the Coroner's inquest. The fact that Wyatt Earp and Doe Holiday have been admitted to bail in the sum of Sl00Oo and that such representative men of standing as E. B. Gage and J. M. Nlzlna have gone on their bonds Is an indication that they are considered to have a good defense. The result of the examination will be awaited with much interest.

IN one respect Arizona Is behind all other mining sections of the country that is in the matter of assessment-pav- ing mines It ranl6s high in amount of -.sIusfids paid, but IS last on the list of assessments. The mining assessments coming delinquent this month at San Francisco aggregate S1, ,1S7,2O0, of which amount S9l6,2O0 goes to Nevada, S26G,- 300 to California, and $500 to Arizona. We sincerely hope the publication of these figures will not deter any one from investing in Arizona mining property for fear they will not be called on every month to pay an assessment, but truth compels us to admit that the chances are against it.
