The Servant Problem In n Nutshell.

tized. A lauudress who can iron shirts
well in one laundry can DO the same In an

well in one city can make them in any and
every city in the Union. But because a
girl can DO housework in one family salts

But One RiIly Birch.

MT. William Birch, the old time minstrel. has just recovered from a severe illness. Yesterday morning he met friend who owns fast trotter, and who offered the use of it to Birch, saying that the exercise of 6 ride would do him good. Birch accepted the offer, and in the afternoon ordered the horse hitched to light road wagon. He drove slowly down Lexington avenue. The horse pranced about ill a lively manner, and at times evinced a disposition to use both sides of the street
 In vain did Birch soothingly say, "SOh, Bossy," and Gee haw, there" At last a train came hiss1ng through the tunnel, and the horse took the bit in his mouth and bolt ed. Here is where Birch concluded that he was no Jehu, for he wrapped the lines about the whip and deliberately climbed over the back of the seat He did not stop at this, and soon his short legs were dangling over the tailboard of the wagon. He dropped off, rolled over in the mud several times, got up, pulled down his vest and remarked to po- hceman:
 ''I made a hit that time, eh?" The officers then took him to task for not holding on to his horse, but Birch shook his head and said effectively, ''There's lots of horses and bug gies in this world, most noble guardian of the law, but I'll give you a quiet tip that there is but one Billy Birch.

Unless the citizens of that section can come to an understanding it will doubtless be carried into the legislature next winter, the acrimo- nious contest of last session be re-en- acted and be productive of all sorts of trades and jobs. In the interest of good legislation the EPITAPH hopes that the people of that section will settle their differences at the polls and come before the legislature with a friendly agreement concerning the proposed division.

4 Plain Miners Picture of The
 Country.


 William Munro, who left the Com stock last summer for the South Afri- can gold fields, has written a letter to friend in Virginia, descriptive of his trip and of the country in which he is at present working.
 MT. Munro em5ellishes his facts with but few adjectives, and tells a tale that knocks more romance out of South Africa in a minute than the English packet lines and mining shareholders can plant in year.
 Following are sentences reproduced from his letter verbatim:
 ''I have not seen person since left Virginia that I ever saw before. Our. vessel called at Flushing, Canary Islands and at St. Helena. The latter is the most miserable place I ever saw. didh't have time to visit Ma poleOn's grave. I am very much dis appointed with Johannesburg. Why people write such glowing falsehoods about this place cannot understand. There is great large town built all over the country, and it is full of peo- pie trying to live off their wits. The mines are all incorporated, and many of them have sold for high figures, but now they are very low, and many who have made money here are now losing 1t. Not one-half of the mines pay half the expense of working them. Their stock is inaccessible, and when company is out of money they issue new stock for working cap ital. Most of the rock is very low grade, and they can save but small percentage of the gold in it. Living is very high and very poor. Wages are low. Natives do the work, shown by the whites. There is 8 great deal of typhoid fever. The water is not fit VI uiAiAh. 4I lOOhc llhO IIlllk dlJ6T a shower, and remains muddy two or three days. We have terrific sand storms, when we cannot see five feet ahead. A great many people die here of inflammation of the lungs, brought on by the inhalation of sand. Com ing here, met at least 300 men re- turning to the railroad They could find nothing to do. The ground is staked off for miles in every direction. I am working in mine, and if my health keeps good until make enough to take me out of here I will be happy. They have schemes to get money out of you here that I never heard of be- fore. You may think I have drawn dark picture of this place, but I have not pictured it half as bad as it is. Those who do not believe me had bet ter come and see"-Virginia City En- terprise.

HE Phenix Gazette, in its wrath over the decision of the Supreme Court in the mandamus case of Su- perintendent Cheyney, is not content with yilifying the Supreme Judges, but goes entirely outside the question and vents its surplus spleen by stig- matizing the irrigating canal of the Florence company as "dry ditch" !" and thus misrepresents and attempts to injure a section of our Territory that has a great future before it and is rapidly coming to the front. It is an i'll bird that fouls its own nest, and the action of the Gazette in thus al- lowing its political bias to so warp its sense of justice as to carselessly slan- der a company and community that are expending large sums of money to develop Arizona's resources cannot be too strongly condemned.
Tombstone epitaph., 1890-04-05

THE EPITAPH has been laboring un- der the impression that this disincor- poration business was merely little family quarrel, and that politics cut no figure. But, judging from the names we have heard mentioned for the various offices under the proposed new government, there would appear to be a mistake out somewhere. How do the Democratic members of the citizens committee relish the idea ol having only Republicans picked out for officers?
Tombstone epitaph., 1890-04-05

DELEGATE SMITH has secured favor able consideration of the bill allowing Arizona a fourth judge and providing that the Chief Justice shall redist-ict the Territory, subject to revision by the legislature. The passage of this bill would be of great benefit to Ari- zona and more especially to Tomb stone. By the appointment of a fourth judge it is more than probable that Cochise and Graham would be erected into district, with the resi- dence of the judge fixed at Tomb stone, where would be held sessions of the United States Court, which would benefit Tombstone annually many thousands of dollars.
