An Historical Paper.

County Recorder Bradley was yes terday presented with a torn bespat tered piece of paper about eighteen inches long and eight inches wide. Il was a gift of Mr. C. H. Plstte. who is a rancher below town, and has foi many years made his living selling milk to the Tombstone public. The paper in question was none other than a programme of the play presented at Ford's thsater. at Washington, on the night of April I4th. 1865, entitled "Our American Cousin" Clots of blood, old and dried. covered its entire length. The strange history of this piece of paper may be briefly stated here
 On the night that this play was pre- sented by Laura Keene, and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, MT. Platt occupied seat near the box occupied by the president. When the fatal shot was fired rush was made for the box. MT. Platt climbed up in the front in time to see programme, which was resting on the presidents lap. seized by an attendant, who endeavored to stop the flow of blood by holding it over tho wound Whan medical aid ar rived this paper was thrown aside, and MT. Platt secured it, placed it ID his pocket and has preserved it from that day to this. Mir. Platt is now 56 years of age, and wishing to place thls his torical paper in the hands of some one who would appreciate it, and pre- serve it. presented it to MT. Bradley. for the Grand Army post of Tombstone. Tombstone Prospector.

Black Bart'0 Family.

A telegram from Hannibal Missouri says: Mrs. Mary Boles. a respectable woman of this city. is the wife of the noted lene highwayman of California A reporter called on Mrs. Bolss and asked her if she knew of her husbands whereabouts. She said the last lettei received from him was dated February aI. and he said "If my life is spared will be with you by Christmas at the farthest." He knows the detectives are on his track. You can easily see why he does not write us letter, for no mat ter where mailed, it would be almos certain to fall into their hands. "I be- lieve," she said, "he isengaged in mining in some secluded spot in the mountains, though. of course, don't know where. If he is alive. and not pursued by the detectives. 1 believe he will come. 1 know that he still loves us; evidence in my possession shows beyond all doubt that he is still as devoted to us as when I last saw him twenty years ago. It has been said that his depredations and rob bing have been confined exclusively to the Wells, Fargo Express company. I do net say that to excuse him, for God knows, he has enough to answer for. but sir, he has some noble traits of charac- ter, and if they would only let him alone 1 know he would thenceforth lead an honorable life"
 Mrs Boles has lived in this citytwelve CT thirteen years. She has three daush- ters. two married, living here the third lives with her mother, and is an estimable young lady.

Why net Abolish the 0Mce'
 School teachers who took the recent exam,nation are asking themselves Il the printer who did the typogEaphica work followed the copy. and if so whe got up the questions. The papers are disgrace te the printers profession ir the territory .-Phenix Herald.
 The Sta, did not do that batch oi printing for Prof. Strauss but we will wager a banana that the printer fol lowed copy. The professor has always been a little of on his orsh )graphy as we'll as the other branches of common school education.-Tucson Star.
 The county board of examiner held a quarterly teachers examination on last Monday and Tuesday The examination questions. presumably. prepared by the territorial board Of examiners, are about as futile test of the ability and educational knowl- edge of a teacher in primary school as could be prcpounded. The object of these examinations are to elicit the elementary knowledge of the teacher and determine his or her fitness for teaching in the common schools of our territory. A studied attempt appears to have been made to get as far away from this idea as possible, and to re- auire . certain standard of "smart- ness" rather than practical ability m the applicant as essential to obtain . teachers certificate. Globe Silver Belt.
 The only point wherein the ''pro- lessor" is not ''off," as the Star terms 1t, is in the looking after the salary and perquisites attached to the position of territorial superintendent of education. This, perhaps, though, is no more than proper, as the office was never intended for anything but a "soft snap" for some worn-out political hack of the Strauss
