Good by, old stamp, it's nasty luck
That ends our friendship so.
When others failed you gamely stuck,
But now you've got to go.
So here's Hood OF honest tears,
And here's all honest sigh
od-bye, old friend of many years
GOod-bY, ola stamp, good by?
Your life has bsen varied one,
With curious phases fraught--
Sometimes a check, sometimes dun'
Your daily coming brought;
Smiles 10 Il waiting lovers face,
Tears to a mothers eye;
or Joy or pain TO every place
3ood by old stamp, good by.
You bravely toiled, and better men
Will vouch for what say;
Although you have been lcked, twas

Your face turned t'other way.
Twas often in IA box you got

For going through the mails, wot-
Good by, old stamp good by!
All, III your last expiring breath!
The tale Of years is heard
The sound of voices hushed in death,
A mothers dying word.

The unanimous endorsement Of Gov.
McEnery by the mass meeting in this
place last Saturday shows very plainly
what the sentiments of our people are
relative to the gubernatorial contest,
and that we knew of what we were
saying when we announced that this
parish was about solid for McEnery.
We have known our people long
enough to know very soon what their
sentiments are on issues that are pres
ented to them for their consideration

a pair of shapely white limbs, two
prettily moulded arms, sudden shoot
through the air anu splash in the
water that sent the spray flying ia all
directions. A moment later "a laughing,
girlSh face emerged from the water,
ly into view. The doors Of the little
cabin-like dressing rooms at the South
Side NatatOrium opened one after an
other at short intervals and half a
score or more of feminines of all shapes
and sizes, from the coy maiden OF
twelve to the MISUNDERSTANDING lady of
thirty-tive, came forth and mingled
with a number Of the sterner sex, who
were dispOrting themselves in the Wa
ter. 1t is rather an uncommon sight TO
see men and women ia the bath at the
same time, and the custom is new one
at the natatorium, the first of the series
of what are known as ''sociai SWim5"
having been inaugurated week ago
last night. Only gentleman accompan-
led by ladies are allowed to enter the
hall, and with but few exceptions those
who enter are pupils of the school and
in most cases are acquainted with one
another.
Some of the young ladies We're at
first little shy Of entering the water
before strangers and upon leaving their
dressing rooms looked obviously at
their rather Scanty attire. When once
in, however, this feeling wore away,
and those who were the most timid in
the start became the bOldest before the
Changing of the bell announced the
the close of the lesson. There were all
kinds Of girls there-tali girls AMI short
girls, thin girls and little tsawed-of"
girls as thick as they were long; lank !,
medium, pretty and homely. But the
girl with the poor form had no business
there, for once wet the thin bathing
suits chung to the person dis a glove on
the hand. The ladies suits consisted
of short tunic and tight-titting breech-
es of a length consistent with the mod
esty and beauty Of the limb of the
wearer. Some of the more audacious
young ladies would lounge carelessly
about the steps when exhausted with
swimming, or mount the spring-board
and dive boldly and gracefully into the
water. There was no constraint in the
bath, and the sexes mingled freely, and
as all were we'll acquainted, enjoyed
themselves hugely.
Everything was conducted in pro
per manner, and there was nothing thai
could be called in the least improper o.
immodest. 1t was simply a party o
young ladies and gentlemen enjoying
themselves as they would in the surf a
any of the watering.places. The $50

THE FREMAUX- RICHARDSON MATTE r
rCapitolian Advocate. !

The combination operating against
Governor McEnery, unable to make any
headWay against h!m by belittliug the
achievements Ut his efficient adminis-
tration. have been reduced to the alter
native IF witnessing has easy triumph
in the Nominating Convention, Or to
adopt the last resurt that diSappOint-
ment suggests. They have systematic
cally undertaken TO destroy the mass of
the people have in their Governors
integrity.
"-They mad played the land contract
for all it was worth, and they had been
met at every point. Nothing was left
them but 10 endeavor to raise the 5uS-
picIon that Governor McEuery had
designedly appointed Major Richardson
as a fit person to carry out corrupt
schemes. 10 this, they have been foied
by Col. FremauX'S letter Of acknOwl-
edgement which shows that the Gov
ernor had urged him strenuously not
10 resign. Now it is attempted TO be
shown that evidences of Major Rich-
arlSOn's crininai,y had been prodaced
TO Governor McEnery by Col. Fremaux
The Implacabie enemies of Governor
McEnery, give no credit to the fact
that Col. FremauX had kept silent
about the transaction he characterlzeS
as forgery committed by his clerk 4,
with the cOnnivauce OF Major Richard
son, for two years, until his son-in-law
was an applicant for the appointment
received by Major Richardson. Neither
do they state that the matter, when
Investigated By Governor McEnery,
was shown him in very different
= light, than the one in which it was
held by Col. Fremaux. 1t is not
shown either that Major Richardson
was the life long friend Of Governor
McEnery; that they had been raised
in the same town; that they had gone
to Nigininia in the same regiment;
that he had found Major Richardson
a member of several hOnOred orders
and associations, and a member OF the
State Central Committee from his
parish aye even with him supporter
OF Gen. Ogden's candidacy in the last
campaign. Besides, he found that
Major Richardson enjoyed the con-
fidence of men of the highest standing
in New Orleans, as shown by the
signatures attached to the petition
which pompted his appointment as
Register of the Land Office.
These facts require no proof. Yet, ii
is heldby the foes of Governor McEnery
that they ought not to have had any
weight with him, and that all these ties
should have given way before the very
first accusation brought to the know
ledge of the Governor, who should al
once have pronounced his friend guilty
of neinouS offense.
The combination occupy very fine
strategic position. They present Gen

Santa Cruz Wheat

Robert Miller of Warmers mill, has presented the CITIZEN office with a bottle ot Santa Cruz wheat It is of the variety that has been sown and reaped by the Mexican farmers upon the bottoms of the Santa Cruz river for the past three hundred years. Subsoil blowing IS something these Mencan farmers never knew or practiced. For over two centuries the soil was scraped with a stick and sown with the same seed every year. Irrigation is also im- perfectly practiced by them. Yet the wheat ;hus grown for nearly thirty decades IS fair sample of the staff of life, and makes fine flour
 It IS true that the grain Is not so large and long and full, and Gs golden hued as the California gram, bat 1t is a good grain II 1t IS small, and shows the wonderful vitalIty and richness of the soil Of the Santa Cruz bottoms
 Tue wheat is perfectly free from rust and smut.
 IT these bottoms were rooted of their weeds and undergrowth and plowed deep, with gang blows, and sown with the choicest varieties, such as the Oregon goose, or California gold top, and then properly irrigated there would be broad fields of rpened grain to please the eyes, fill the pockets and gladden. the hearts ot the Santa Cruz farmers. such Gs one can see n drives in the LivermOre, San Jose, Sacramento, San Joaquin and hundred other of the great grain growing sections of Cali fCruIH. The soil IS just as rich, the climate just as favorable, .he market just ss near, n fact every condition IS just ss good as 1t Is in California.
 At present there is some difference over the water rights, but the farmers are seusibly keeping out of the courts and trying to settle matters among themselves.

\ WHITE BOY
Supposee to be Charles MeComa-, has Been seen by Lieut.. Davis and Mickey Free-Mhat General Crook
 Has to say About It

From the Silver City Citizen Extra of the l3th.l
 The following was received this morn ing by J. M. Wright, Esq, of this city
 PREscorT, A. T., Nov. 9, 1883. My dear Judge:
 1 am just III receipt of a letter from Captain Rafferty. who Is conducting the Chiricahuas, and should be at Croton Springs tonight, in which he says: "Lieut. Davis and Mickey Free both saw q boy with these Indians that they believe to be On rley McCOmas. He answers the description given as near as they can remember. Lieut.. Davis hos seen a photograph of young McCOmas, but has not got 1t with him." "Ihe boy IS white, but tanned, hair cut short, or years old, can't speak Indian language, IS in good health, and quite sturdy fellow
 Lieut.. Davis, Mickey Free and my self are the only ones tbat know a word of the boys presence" ".1he Indians do not suspect that We thIuk he Is young McCUmas, not question has been asked them n reference to him. etc, etc" Capt. Ratferty reports the Indians as being very suspicious and uneasy, and that they cam- to him at least twice day to have him reassure them that they will be treated well when they arrive at the San Carlos. Sa 1t Is necessary to exercise the greatest precaution in dealing with them until we get them amongst their friends at the San Carlos.
 In talking to the Indians about the boy whilst in the Sierra Madre they denied that the pareuts of the boy m question had been killed by them, and their story as to bis place of capture was not satisfactory, but I attribute Il all to their not wishing to crimInate themselves, and there being so much "croaking' Tn my camp, SO much i'll feel ing and ill-natured remarks induleed iu around some of our camp fires. that was afraid to excite the Indians suspi- cions by asking too many questions. contented myself with knowing that there was white boy in their camp or the morning of the attack. I tOok 1t for granted that 1t was Charley McComas Now, fl thls boy with Captain Rafferty turns out to be our hoy, the one had been pursuing all the time was not Charley McComas, and there were two boys in their camp, This boys not be- ing able to speak Indian Is little sus- picirus, as Charlie McComas ought to be able to speak their language in seven months. Very sincerely,

Death Of Iosenh N. Rohhins.

Joseph W. Robbins died at l o'clock
 Wednesday. The death of General
 Robbins was not unexpected by those
 who were acquainted with Eim, as he
 has for years been suffering from con-
 sumption, and it was surprising that he
 clung to life so long. General Robbins
 came to Tucson year ago last August, and for time his general health was
 improved, and both he and his friends
 had strong hopes thal the climate of
 Arizona would greatly benefit him, and
 possibly restore him to health. But like thousands of others who have been similarly afflicted, he postponed the day of coming too long to be materially
 benefited by any climatic changes. General Robbins was a man of more than ordinary ability, and had he possessed health would have be- come leader in Journalism which was hIs chosen field. During his short residence in Tucson, General Robbins has made many warm friends. who appreciated his intelligence and many qualities. He leaves a wife and two children, who have the heartfelt sympathies of our people Tn their hour of bereavement.
 Joseph W. Robbins was born in the l State of Ohio, in 1852 He emigrated to l Illinois on reaching manhood, and | engaged in journalism. He settled in | Mississippi, and took charge of the | editorial columns of newspaper for a | year or two. in 1871 or 1872, but not being | pleased with the outlook in the South | returned to Chicago and became con- nected with the Inter-Ocean, and for a number of years took charge of the Mis- | sonri branch of the business. In 1881, l his health failing hIm, he gave up his posi- tion on the Inter Ocean, and accepted q position in the postoffice department. He was appointed Surveyor General of Arizona July 18th, 1882, and assumed the d1tie- of the office in August follow ing, and though in poor health, he filled the position tO the entire satlsfac- lien of the government and the people.
