EDITORIAL NOTES.

How very cheap Beecher and
Ingersoll must feel. They are
both patriotic gentlemen, and
wish to see Guiteau punished to
the full extent of the law-hung
What trial it must be to them
to be compelled to desist fro N
airing their eloquence by pictur-
ing Guiteau in the agonies of
Hades. It is. too bad they have
abolished that useful institution.
Garfield's estate has augmented
considerably since his death. 1t
was at first reported as being less
than S25,OO0. Now the estate
comprises real estate valued at
$4,000; 1000 shares of Silver
King stock, worth $40 per share;
an insurance policy of $4,000,
which with the subscription fund
will swell Mrs. Garfield's posses
sions to about $400, 1000. But now
the question comes up: How
much of this will go to Pus-mas-
ter General Bliss. and his associ'
ates for professional services.
1t is said that a -four barrel
will hold 67S,9O0 silver dollars.
If some one will contribute the
-four barrel we may verify this
statement.-Nugget.
Oh yes; that's easy enough.
If our one silver dollar will 0c-
cupy given space, 67S,9OO silver
dollars will occupy 67S,9OO times
that much space. Tucson editors
cannot make the same calcula-
ton, as the rule does MT apply to
"dobes."
In last weeks issue we were
guilty, through ignorance, Of
making the word "rrubesceutly"
read "embescentIy," which latter
word does not exist, in the eng
lish language. We make this
correction voluntarily and cheer
fully, hoping thereby to forestall
some of our self. styled critiqueS.
In short. We erubescently undu-
late.
Under the new postal law, a
person who accepts paper from
the post office and refuses to pay
the subscl iption due thereon. Is
liable to prosecution for petit lar
ceny.-Ex.
What an enlargement of jailS
would take place if this law Was
enforced.
Director Swift, of the Roches'
ter, n. Y, observatory, says that
a new comet could be seen with
the telescope at the hour of the
Presidents death. The cir.
cumstance was unusual" the Di-
rector says. elf not pOrtentouS."
The learned asIrologer has our
hearty concurrence. 1t is unusu-
al in its portentousness, and por-
tentiOus in its unusualness. II
may he unusual in its unusuality
and pOrtentOus in its pOrtentual-
ity, but we will not insist upon
it.
The Arizona Citizen published
last week a combination portrait
of Gartield's two especial friends.
From the delightfully."- artistic
manner in which the two bodies
are blended, in the picture, one
might take them to be an Amer
lean edition of the Siamese twins;
or, sans whiskers, the wonderful
two.headed woman. However,
since she is negress, we will
withdraw the last comparison.
The King of Dahomy has full
hand. He has eighteen queens
and a draw left.-EX.
Somebody has evidently made
Miss Deal. He should have
stopped with three queens, and
then drawn for pair of knaves.
A short time ago the democrat.
ic leaders were magnanimously
proposing to allow the republi-
cans to re.organiZe the Senate.
The sentimental gush has now
passed away, and the generous
ones are adopting the old adage
that "charity begins at home"
A brass band is the " Emphasis
of music" and the Silver King
band fill the air with a sweetness
OF sound that thrills the SOUL
