 An EPITAPH rock sharp was yester- osy shown . piece of ore from the bot ton. of the Contention shaft. It was a specimen calculated to gladden. the eye of veteran prospector-white quartz, literally bespangled with the glis,ening yellow metal in all its virgin purity. With plenty of such truck" in the lower lev. els, no fears of a close down need be en. tertained.
 The new Democratic fondling has at last found sponsors in the persons oi Messrs. Brawley and Tomlinson, both practical newspaper men. If those boys don't succeed in rattling the dried bones of the old defunct Democratic party oi this county we shall be terribly mistaken You will have to slave very hard, boys, to get any coin, as they are notorious for holding on te everything but "wind;" in fact that is what they fought their las, campaign on, and that is what they had lett when it was over, and the supply is not yet exhausted.

A Flenaish 0chene.

Casa Grande correspondent of the Florence Enterprise says it becomes his painful duty to inform the public of an- other atrocity committed by Indian Agent Wheeler, of the Pima agency, that surpasses in 6endish cruelty any devilish ingenuity any of his dark deeds thathave yet been brought to light. It is a fact easily proved that Wheeler has imported from the East a large number of rolling pins of the latest and most deadly model, and it is his intention to furnish every squaw on the reservation with one of these formidable weapons of offensive warfare. The result is easily foretold. The destruction of aii tribal laws and the inauguration of reign of anarchy and bloodshed will be but question of 2 short time. The boasted liberty of the noble red man will become thing of the past and he will be reduced to the same pitiable condition of subjection and court plaster as his pale face brothers. It is an inopporune moment to champion the cause of the Indian, but surely civilized and Christian men will not stand passive when such a doom menaces a tribe O. inofensive and peaceful red men. I'm mediate action can alone save them iron fate a thousand times worse thar ! death.

The Catholic church social, which will take place Dec. F. promises to be a splendid affair, as the promoters are spar ing no efforts to make it an enjoyable time. After the raff1e has taken place dancing will begin and all are expected to do their utmost to make the time pass pleasantly. The best quality of refresh ments will be served and tine finest music to be had will be engaged for the occa. sion. With the small charge of go cents admission the hall will undoubtedly be well filled. The object for which this so- cial is given IS worthy one-that ofpay- ing of the debt of the church. The so- cial will be held at Schieffeiin hall.

TIE EPITAPH is ofthe opinion that this movement of calling an extra session of the Legislature will meet with opposition in certain portions of our Territory; but we will say to those people, that Cochise county is large and prosperous portion of Arizona. We pay into the territorial government large amount of money as our share of the territorial tax; we have been in existence as county six years, and this is the first time in the history of the county that we have ever asked any. thing from the government. Our last Legislature made large appropriations for diffe' ent sections of the Territory. To this we never demured. Nov all we ask

Unpleasant for tho Ladies'.

New York Cor. Pioneer Press.l
What do you suppose we do to fashionable
women In the streets Of New York; Spit on
them. That 10 the literal fact Everybody
suffers the same outrage, but 1t Is particu-
larly atrocious whom the victim' are dainty
wearers Of susceptible finery. Through four
avenues extend the parallel lines Of ELEVATED
railroads. Two OF the routes are in streets
crowded by shoppers
During at least eight months Of the year
the cars that roll over the heads OF the null
titude Of women have open windows. Not
half Of the male passengers expectorate
through the MISUNDERSTANDING not m)rs
than 10 per cent - but the spitters are not
numerous enough to be aboard every train,
and damaging proportion Of them eject a
ruinous quality of tobacco juice. which may
drop on velvet that cost, $50 yard, or on a
bonnet worth dollars per square inch. The
nuisance Is so common that stranger won
der at what they construe as a fear on the
part OF women that the elevated structure
will fall on them, SO quickly do they dart
under it when Il train is coming.
But for the palpable evidence 1t would be
hard to conceive Of men so hoggish as to
make spittoon of a thropged street. Jay
Gould Is, the neatest OF men In his personal
habits. He rides between his home and his
Office daily on the Sixth avenue road, and
the reckless splitting has annoyed him exces-
sively. He Is far too shy oonsttutionally to
say anything to an offender, but have re-
peatedly seen him betray the utmost dis
gust. On inquiry at the central ofiics of
the company. in which Gould is a controll-
ing owner, ] was told that the millionaire
had often spoken on the subject, and that
much consultation had been bestowed on
the problem of how to abate the practice.
1t had almost been decided to compel the
train men to watch for the culprits and per.
emptorily shut their windows; and Gould
favored this extreme measure; but the SUI
perintendent deemed it impracticable.

New York SUM-
The show windows Of a certain store kept
by dealer In Glassware have presented a
variegated appearance OF late. Goblets, de-
signed for the most innocent purpose in tie
world, have appeared in such wnrlike huss
as green, blue rod, purple, yellow, pink, or
ange, ecru, brown gold, saffron. lilac and
lavender, while a few stand brazenly forth
In piratical black. Wine glasses, tumblers,
cruet- bottles fnger-bowls, and pepper and
salt sprinklers appeared in prominent posi-
lions In unwonted colors Time was, only a
few months ago, when a passer-by could
look through the window for q week and
see nothing but the purest crystal, some OF
which was out In artistic fashion, but bear
ing ON the face the stamp Of plain household
wear.
A little man who seemed to own the store
expressed his willingness to tell the reporter
all about the change "The fashions In
furniture dress, and turnouts change with
tho seasons he said, and nobody wonders
at It A healthy person enjoys nothing so
much as well-supplied and well-appointed
dining room. A hundred years ago no one
who respected himself would think
OF eating Off plate unless there
was q blue or red devil, dragon
or some wild or ravenous beast painted
on it in hideous shape. He wanted to get
his sugar out Of bowl covered all over with
painted insects, his butter from a dish dec
Grated with rural scenes, his bread from q
platter containing the figure Of perspiring
yokel, and he wouldn't care for his coffee un-
less 1t was in cup splashed with mill-pond:
and swamps.
"As civilization advanced, these things
receded into obscurity, and the plainest oil
white china appeared in their place. This
kind OF ware has carried all before 1t for o
long time. and nobody was brave enough TO
attempt anything new. We finally decided
TO attempt little fancy business In glass
ware, and we sent some very prettily tinted
tumblers afioat Orders began coming In,
and now the fashion has grown SO that
nearly every family Of any consequence In
the city has moro or less tinted glassware.
II is very pretty to look at Children adore
it because when they hold it before their
eyes the whole world changes her garb.
