DEFERRED HOPES

One year ago. on budding bough

The laughing stream, the budding fiowerA
The fine green grass blades springing,
Found me with Sorrow as my guest
And Fear and Pain attendant;
had but tears wherewith to greet
Spring, and his train resplendent
But as she closer camo, and beR
To me with lips all smiling,
Icould but lend a willing ear
To eccents so beguiling
"Fear to ignoble soulsm she cried,
Come, let us laugh at trouble;
Another year thy hopes shall see
FULFILLED In measure double"
All mel That year too swift has sped;
As then the grass is springng;
AS then the robins CHEEKY note
From budding Dough is ringing.
And Spring. hear her joyous voice
In far-off cadence thrilling
Her light foot passed my darkened door
Family my dun ear thrilling.
But still grim Sorrow is my guest
And Doubt and Fear attending
Proner the bitter trimming cup
OF pain and care unending.
Then here's to thee, thou constant friendl
Thou dear, familiar Sorrowi
This tear-wet bread together share
To-day and cen tomorrow.
And after that, the bitter end,
And then the rest eternali
o God, forgive the weary soul
That asks no Joy supernal;
That only Graves surccase OF pain,
And fret and strife, and weeping;
That only longs for folded hands,
Closed eyes and dreamless sleeping.

United States Court.

Everything is moving peacefully ly along again at the court house, and business is being disposed of as it comes up. The U. s. grand jury for which a venire was issued yesterday, were not returned into court this morning. The marshal will probably have the jury req dy to be empanelled this afternoon or to morrow.
 When court was opened thls morning the defendants who are indicted for the Wham robbery were brought into court to plead to the indictments, they having been arraigned yesterday and given one day to plead. There are three indictments against w. B. Cunningham, Gilbert Webb, Wilfred Webb. Warren Follett, Lyman Follett, Thos. N Lamb. and David N. Rogers, charging them respectively, with robbing Maj. J. w. Wham, with robbing Mai. J. w. Wham and escort, and with grand larceny. To each of the indictments, all the defend ants plead not guilty.
 The case of the United States vs. Jos. E. Follett, indicted for endeavoring to obstruct and impede the due admins tration of justice in court of the Uni ted States, was called, and Ben Good rich, attorney, filed demur to the in- dictment, which was argued and over ruled. The defendant then entered a plea of not guilty.
 The court announced from the bench that over month ago he had made ar engagements with Judge Kibby, of the 2nd district, to come here and try the Wham robbery cases.
 No time has been fixed for the trials.
 The trial jury in the Territorial dis trict court was discharged yesterday.
 All the witnesses in the Wham rob- bery case are still held here.

"Our Irish Visitors.

Speaking of Our Irish Visitors" as recently presented by Murray & Mur- phy, in San Francisco, and which will appear at Reid's Opera House, Tucson, Oct. 8th, the Call says:
 The Bush-street Theatre was packed to the doors last evening by holiday audience to witness what was styled on the programme as mirth-provoking absurdity, rejoicing in the name of Our Irish Visitors" with Thos. E. Murray and Mark Murphy in the leading parts. The author has not burdened it with a plot, but put 1t together in such man her that 1t is clever peg upon which a number Of specialties are hung that keeps the audience in continual roar of laughter. Murray and Murphy are q couple of clever Irish comedians, and they created intense merriment by their eccentric act ing. They are good yocalists, and their efforts in this direction were much ap- preciated. Chas. w. Young furnished considerable amusement as dude. John F. Carroll is a good comic singer and was compelled to respond to sever al encores. The ladies of the company gave very valuable assistance in the mu- sical portion of the entertainment. Miss Lotta Thornton contributed some pleas ant ballads, Miss Ada Melrose some very neat and artistic songs and dances, and Miss Addie Boose showed how well she could finger the cornet.
 Numerous stands of flowers occupied the .stage, having been presented to Murray and Murphy by their San Fran cisco friends. Our Irish Visitors" was a pronounced success.

Very Unbecoming.

Lovely tints in the wrong place are reft of their charm. 4 lemon colored conference.-the peculiar endowment of pig tailed brethern who Init the pipe" is unbecoming. 1t suggests bile going astray, and the inference is correct. Pain beneath the ribs and shoulder blades, constipation, dyspepsia, furred tongue and sick headaches supplement this indication of the bilious. For liver complaint and its multifarious systems, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an in fallible specific. It relaxes the bowels sufficiently, but without gripping or violence. To the secretion of bile it gives due impulse, but banishes an ex- cess of that saffron colored principal from the blood. Sick headaches, sour ness of the breath and fur upon the tongue disappears when it is used. It renews digestion, fortities the system against malaria, counteracts a rheu- matic tendency, and remedies inaction of the kidneys.

At Col. Durr's Place.

It was learned yesterday from the Colonel himself, who was taught to all ways, speak the truth by his good gfand- mother, that since he moved his business from Meyer to Congress street, his; bus mess had increased in volume from day to day. He now sells one car load of John Wielands beer every three weeks, and more than a car load of Anheussr- Bush beer. in the same length of time.
 Beer is only one branch of the large business now carried on by Col. Durr, at his corner on Congress street.
 Swiss cheese is received in ponderous cases direct from the old country, and his sales amount to over 700 pounds a month; also California cheese is hand led in large quantities, and the finest of Limberger cheese is always kept on hand, though the sales are not enormous ly large.
 His cigars are all made specially for him and are sold at wholesale and retail.
 THE wARUM DARUM BRAND is well known and has no superior for the price, The latest brand is the Tip pecanoe, and it is equal to any cigar to be had in this market.
 Queen olives, the best ever offered in this market, are received direct from Spain, in huge casks.
 In the cellar is kept fine Sherry wlne, dozens of barrels, and everything that is better by being kept in a cool place.
 Whiskey is received from not only all over the United States, but much direct from the old country, three or four of the best brands made in Hamburg. In one room alone, the reporter counted
 155 BARRELS OF wHISKEY, and including wines and brandies, his present stock would not fall short of 300 barrels and kegs. Also a choice brand of mescal is handled for the benefit of those who like it.
 Besides, all the finest bitters known to mankind, are kept, many of them being imported. In fact, everything in the way of saloon supplies is kept, and noth- ing but the best quality is sold.
 IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT was found bacon. ham, lard, ,pickled pork, dried fish of all kinds, corned beef, tongue, pickled tongue, pigs feet, saur kraut and vinegar, crackers, tobacco, chow-chow, deviled ham, ham berger eel, and every table delicacy. new was exhibited: box of dried lax, one of the finest fish known, and found only in the waters of Norway

The Stage Robbery.

The following was received this mor- ming from the CITIZENS special cores pondert at Casa Grande concerning the robbery of the Florence stage yesterday. It would seem that no passengers were on the stage, as no mention is made of any person except the driver:
 Casa Grande, Oct. 2nd, 1889 The Florence stage was held up to- day at Dry Lake, near this place, by two Mexicans who took everything, express box, mail sack and even a bundle of miners clothes. They cut the tugs of the harness, but nevertheless Nels the driver made quick time to town in about twenty five minutes from time of rob- bery. Parties have gone in immediate pursuit. The Mexicans wore nc masks and the younger one, it is said would have killed the driver but for the inter ference of the older man.
 w.
 A CITIZEN reporter was at the depot yesterday evening and saw Conductor Martin, who passed Casa Grande at o'clock, but he knew no particulars fur ther than that the stage was held up and the mail and express taken.

The prices for ice in the east and the west have advanced 9 to 90 per cent and consumers are made to pay dearly for the mild winter just past. Tucson has never-failing supply of ice, and a reliable company, whose desire is to ob- lige the customers, and serve it at req sonable prices.
