COMPLIMENTS OF "spIRALs."
Once Knox and Sweet
With crooked feet,
Came down Alamo street
At Scholz's saloon to meet;
Quite long they sat,
Drank like rat,
Whiskey straight, Anheuser fiat
And this and that.
They also ate
Mexican supper with cake;
Chill con frijoles,
Tortllas con chill and tamales-
Just enough--you bet!
To get the sPlRALIs!!
What this means, you all now know,
And if you shouldn't the Siftings does show;
With crooked legs and deep blue eyes
Knox and Sweet leave Scholz's paradize-

Is Brigham Young Dead!

It has been frequently hinted, in kind of sub rosa manner, that the great Mormon leader, Brigham Young, IS not dead. but is as much of a controlling power in the Mormon Church to-day as he was before it was given out that he had passed beyond the reach of Uncle Sam's power to imprisou and prosecute. It will be remembered that just before his alleged death he was under indict- ment. It now appears that to avoid the trial he planed the easy device of escape by having the news go abroad that he sickened and died. Wonder if it Is pos sible that Uncle Sam was thus played upon by the w1ly old Mormon fox. A correspondent wriets from Salt Lake to an eastern paper, as follows: "I have just come into possession Of news that will startle you, and that it is true there is not shadow of a doubt. It Is that Brigham Young is not dead. He feared conviction for comphcity in the Moun- tain Meadow massacre and shut himself up in his mansion, strongly guarded by his own police. He then had the news to be published that he was dangerously sick. In a short time the report got out that he was dead. A funeral took place and the Widow Young put on her thirty six mourning dresses. John Taylor was quietely installed as president of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, that dangerous indictment was dismissed and Brigham Young had | again come off victorious with out scan dalizing the church. Soon after his | pretended death he chartered Pullman car and in company with three of his youngest "wives' he lit out for Europe, where he now is. It is expected that he will return as soon as the present con test between Cannon and Campbell is settled, provided that Cannon wine. It is .agued here by astute MOrmons that the present Congress holds the key to the Mormon problem in that contest and that Cannon will come out victorious. As to how I come into possessin of these facts about Young, I am not at liberty to divulge, but rest assurel that they are true in every particular.-i Alta Ari- Zona.

A WAsHNGToN special to the New York Herald commenting upon Senator Plumb's bill concerning the details from the army, now pending in the Sen ate, says that it will not inaict great damage oa various departments of the military service, as has been stated.

Alto gethef thirty-eight officers will be re- lieyed from clerical, civil and quasi-mili- tary duties. Ten of these officers have been on detached service from three to five years, ten from five to ten years, eleven from ten to fourteen years and seven upward of fourteen years. Among the latter are four who have never joined any command since they were appointed in the army, and several of the others have never served with the regiments on whose rolls they are borne. These facts suggest a very per tinent Cnestion If a regiment can get along for ten or iiteen years with two or three officers less than its legal complement are not those officers practically supernumerary or at any rate sdpertiuous?

 We hear no more talk of sending the sheep from this county to Arizona. Feed will be short for few days, and then there will be plenty of it, and to spare.
 We have heard of as many as ten par ties hunting for land in this vicinity during the past few days. It would seem as if some effort would be made to accommodate these people.

tNugget.l

Nugget
 r. WAS rumored on the streets yester- day that the Earp brothers, Wyatt and ATorgan. in company with Doc. Holiday, were completing arrangements for gen eral and final hegira from the country. It was stated that preparations for the event had quietly been in progress Tor some time, and that the result of the re- cent election had only strengthened thelr resolution in taking the decisive step. Certain it is that some of the gentlemen named were seen upon the streets all @booted and spurred" as if for an edues- trian journey. Of course there IS noth- ing very remarkable in all this. The Farp brothers or Mir. Holiday have each and every one the same inalienable right in common with all other citizens, of taking a pasear among the hills which iie round about our city, and were they so disposed they might extend thelr pasear to an indefinite distance.
 But right in conjunction with the ru- mors as given above comes another. It has been stated for some time past that the parties above referred to could not leave Tombstone, even were they so ln- elined-that all means ot egress from our city were SO carefully guarded by thelr sworn foes as to render their continued stay among us a matter of necessity. The NCGGET has at no time placed the slightest reliance ID these seemingly ab- surd and improbable stories, but has and does regard them as the emanations Of street and bar-room gossiPs. Neverthe- less, it was whispered about that relays of cowboys were stationed along the road between here and Benson, whose avowed purpose was the inteTception and de- struetion of the Earp party and further that fifteen cowboys were in the city, ready in an instant to take horse and fol- low their quarry whenever the propitious moment arrived.
 Such were the street rumOrs of yester- day, and whether there is anything Tn it" a day or two will doubtless tell The Earps kept their own counsel, and the ways of the cowboys are as everybody knows past finding out.

Small POx Cure.


 The following simple remedy for the viruIeut small pox, scarlatina and meas
 les. is recommended by Dr. Larking, Member of the Royal College of Sur
 reops. London. He says that it IS
 most effectual cure, and now that small
 pox is liable to become prevalent throughOut this country it my be worthy of consideration On the first appear rance of fever or irritation ushering Tn an attack. whether occurring Tn families orIarre communities, the subioined mode of treatment should at once be entered on. Take one grain of powdered fox glove. or digitalis )valuable in the ratio of its creenness-the dark should be
 rejectedJ and one of sulphate of zine Cthis article is commonly known as white
 yitrol) These should be rubbed
 thoroughly in mortar or other conven-
 inent vessel. with four or five drops of
 water; this done, nOggin tor about fer ounces) more, with some syrup or sugar should -bs'uutdieS., Of this mlI' ture. a tablespoonful should be given an
 adult, and two teaspoonful to child,
 every second hour until the symptoms
 of the disease vanish. Thus conducted,
 conyalescence, as if by magic, will result
 The rapidity of an event so suspicious
 will equally delight and astonish- It
 may. however, be necessary further to
 note that should the bowels become ob-
 structed in progress of the disease an evil by no means common, then drachm
 of the compound powder of lalap ttOrm- cd of two parts cream of tartar with one of ialap) and one grain of the herb, treat ed as above, formed into paste with syrup or sugar, should be given to child. This simple medicine shuts out every other form of article whatever, as | totally unnecessary, if not pernlclOus. l The methods medendI' of these medl- cines, capable of eilectlng results so | gigantic remains now only to be gwen | and appears to be as follows: The herb, by it's anti-febrile properties, lays hold | at once of the feyeT-the prolific source of woe-which it immediately strangles while the zinc acts the part of a tome | instantly restoring the equilibrium.

An Arizona Colony.

A colony is being organized m thls city to settle upon the GIla hlver, Arl- ZOpa. G. W. Webb, Of C}ila Bend, Mari cOpa County, Arizona, now m this city, gives the following details concerning the proposed colony: He states that large tract of Government land has been selected upon the Gila River, north of the Southern Pacific Railroad During the past year he has constructed a man moth-sized irrigating canal with a ste1dy supply of about 10000 inches of water This canal is about sixteen miles love and contains enCugh water to, Irrlf=--- many thousand acres of land. He says there IS a large amount of rich public land open to settlement. The soil IS a mixture of sand and lOam with a clay subsoil, and plenty of good water Is found at depth of fifteen feet. An abundance of fuel may be had for the hauling, and as the irrigating canal will supply moisture for thousands of acres of land a fine prospect is presented for colony. It is proposed tO make this fruit-grOwing settlement, aftersthe styi of Riverside, in San BernardinO County. Mir Webb leaves to-day for Visalia, where he will be joined by party of colonis5s who start at once with large supply or trees for the planting of orchards. Mr. Webb says the climate and soil of the Gila Valley is admirably adapted to the production of all kinds Of semi-tropical fruits, including oranges and lemons. and the soil and climate is.y Was tt.lf-s- vineyards. Should tlGs =! 5I0yc '- success it will not be many years before Arizona will produce fruit for her own consumption, and perhaps for exporta- tion. Mr Webb makes his home at Giila Bend, Arizona, where people desiring to join the colony may address their letters. -f San Francisco letter.
