Only a Tramp.

A dark December night-the snow
whirling fiercely round bleak corners
and drifting in long mounds into the
streets.
At corner, where the light from
lamp falls upon him, stands a ragged,
motionless figure bearing the outlines of
man. His rags futter in the icy
blasts, the snow flakes eddy around
him, drifting about his feet as he stands
gazing into the uncertain windows of a
great house, whence come sweet strains
of music.
Within, a CRATE glowing with warmth
and light, richly upholstered furniture,
soft lights, and the group about the
piano. White fingers fit across the
keys and glad voices attune themselves
to full, rich chords--not the classic
harmonies of Handel or Bach, but the
simple, touching Crock of Ages"
The figure moves nearer, and as q
sharper blast sweeps round him shivers
and draws his rags more closely about
him. Out in the night homeless in the
pitiless storm, but he is needless OF 1t
all as memory carries him backward.
Childhood, purity and love, the strains
of music, and he forgets what he has
been.
Crock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee,
And out from the warmth and splendor
the words float to the listener in the
storm. He leans wearily against the
lamp post, the wind rises into shrek
and dies away in a hollow moan, the
snowfakes whirling by, for a moment
flash diamond fires, but his senses seem
sunk in oblivion.
Suddenly. from out of the bronze
throat of q great clock, jarring and dis
cordant, comes the stroke OF 10.
Rousing from his reverie, he draws
his worn hat over his eyes, and turns
into the dark street-going where
A tramp. Only wretched outcast,
sick at heart with buffeting the storms
of life, weary of disappointments and
heartaches, drifting out toward the
great shores of Eternity, unknown, till
at the sound of the last trump he an
swers at the roll call of The Resurrection.

After the Hostiles.

John H. Hede sends the EPITAPH ar interesting account of a scouting 'rE which he made with Lieut.. Weaver anc fourteen mounted infanrymen along the San Pedro after the hostilcs. The ac' count is unfortunately too long for inser' ton in the EPlTAPH. Mir Hede con- cludes his letter as follows:
 "Now you must allow me to tell you oi the poor horse equipments that these foot-scldiers had picked up here and there around this place, with no straps or saddle-bags CT anything to carry their rife and rations, and making as we did the day we met Mir. White, about sixty miles, having been in the saddle from 4 a. m. until g p. m., you must acknowl- edge that Lieutenant Weaver and his small detachment did as we'll as any cavalry command could have done. Although, unsuccessful in their scout, it was not for want of energy or detelmi. nation"
Daily Tombstone epitaph., 1886-05-28
More Troops Needed.

Ex-Governor Slower has written the following letter to the Albuquerque
 Journal
 "I see by your special from Tucson,
 Arizona, that there is great danger of
 more Indian depredations in New Mex. ico and Arizona. Almost every one has an Indian policy. also, not to be out of fashion, have one. Having had sev- eral years experience in being thrashed by them, should know something about the question. It IS not half the job to whip an Indian as it is to catch him.
 Generals Hatch and Crook, while in command here, never had half enough force to catch or kill the Apaches. Gen. Miles has now not half enough. Every road, pass, mountain and plain in North ern Mexico and Southern Arizona and New Mexico must be well guarded and squads of we'll mounted men, each able in itself to whip every hostile in the field, must be within rife-shot of each other all through the threatened country, so there will be no chance for escape by the hostiles. It will save many valuable lives and many thousands of dollars, and close the war in sixty days, to put ten thousand well mounted troops in the field against the less than one hundred Apaches now on the warpath.
 Governor Ross should at once call out the whole organized militia force in the Territory. A few hundred thousands in expense should not be considered for a moment. Let the murdering of our citi- zens by the Apaches be stopped at once and forever. The Apache wars have cost New Mexico at least two millions within the nine years that have been a resident. All the available forces in Arizona and New Mexico should be in the field within fifteen days. Respect fully, E. s. STovER.
 P. S.-I forgot to state what my policy would be after the Indians were con quered. It IS not elaborate. Iwould bury them. S."

Some Facts Worth Mentioning.

EDITOR EPiTAPA:
 "There are times in the fairs of men if taken at the flood, led on to fortune" This quotation should be thought of by men, who have made most of their for tunes here, and who to-day are despond ent, not to say apathetic, because of a serious loss to the Grand Central Min. ing Company by fte last night, of their hoisting works, pumps, machinery and possibly their main shaft, costing not less than S5oo,ooo. This, to the exper- fenced, seems insurmountable, but not to such men as Fairbank, Gage and Orms. They are indomitable. Such misfortunes as these are only stmulants to men of enterprise, and to men who know, as they do, the value of the mine, and the. millions of wealth which lie. in the Grand Central mine, and which has been explored at great expense by these men. Such a catastrophe as has just occurred to the company will be only nine days wonder l am astonshed to hear men talk as they do, about the effect of this mishap. There are fifty mines, and perhaps more in the camp will be developed, which may prove to be as good as the Grand Central. The fact is, that almost every week develop ments are made in mines here which no thought has been given to, and they are showing large bodies of rich ore. mention the "Uncle Sam," Tribute" "Intervenor" and the ..Boss" mines. These are some of the neglected mines, and yet to-day they are mines of merit, which none can deny, and many more will soon come to the front. There is certainly no room for apathy or despon- dency. Having confidence in the camp, sink or swim, propose to stand by it. w. B. B.

The Apaches seem to be running pretty close to Tucson. The Star says: On Monday and Tuesday nights six or seven Indians were seen grazing ,he,r horses in canyon five miles west of the hospital. On Tuesday there were two seen in the city. Yesterday the Indians seen west of the hospital were tracked four miles west of here where a COW was found killed on the track, and the meat taken from the hind-quarters. There were several parties out yesterday watch ing for new developments. It would be we'll for all who find it necessary to leave the city to go armed, during the next few days at least.
