The widow of an English clergyman
left by her will large sum to be paid
to the chaplain of q consnmptives' home
and to two clergymen in charge of
churches on the condition that they
read her departed husbands sermons to
the people under their charge Through
wrong description of the funds she
dedicated to this purpose the legacy

Whom this dignitary wishes to pay his
guest an especial compliment, he puts
on a mask stuck full of porcupine's
quills. upon which he heaps quantity
of swans down, and, dancing up to his
visitor, he gives jerk with his head
and sends the down all over the honored
individual.
1t is reported of q tribe of natives
in Africa that whenever one of
them wants to show his pleasure at
meeting friend, he claps his hands
twice. This manner of welcoming
is common among children of all
countries Aside from it's noisy DEM
onstration, 1t reminds one of the Chi
nese form Of salutation. These people
fold one hand over the other, and raise
the clasped hands little higher than
the right shoulder. The head Is in
clined to the same side until the right
cheek nearly rests upon the hands. If
unusual pleasure at the meeting is to be
shown, the hands, still folded, are
moved up and down repeatedly with a
rapid motion.-Youth's Companion.

From the lIammath

MT. L. Ezekiels is in from the Nam. moth. The battery blocks for the 20 new stamps are in place, and every thing Is in readiness to receive the stamps. It is expected that 30 stamps will be running in six weeks. On the north drift of the 300 foot level in the mine 30 feet Of ore has been struck the average richness of the entire body is surprisingly high.
 There are about 60 tons of ore run through the mill daily and when the new stamps begin to drop the average run will be over 100 tons daily.
 All of the improvements which are being made on the mill are of the more substantial kind which indicate the hope the company have of the future of the mine. As soon as the improvements are completed, the old portion of the mill will be raised, and substantial improvements will be added. Those who have watched the Mammoth and it's management from its inception four years ago are sur prised to see the wonderful improve ments made since Capt, Johnson has assumed the management which is only another proof that the success of Arizona mining is largely dependent on it's management.
 MT. Ezekiels says the camp is grow ing steadily, several new buildings are going up, and when the daily mail starts, the growth will be still more rapid. The outlook for Mammoth could not be more flattering-star.

Antoine Fosters Nerrsw

Antoine Foster, who has been sell ing liquors, etc., etc, at the Red Rock during the construction of the canti- lever bridge, last week moved his stock to point about mile and half above Fort Mohave, and where he supposed he would be outside the mil itary reservation, and opened saloon, as soon as his business was known Capt. Bowman, commandant at Fort Mohave sent word to him to quit the business and move off. Foster paid no attention to the warning, and it is al- legged that he sold whisky to the h. dians, at any rate they got drunk, and Capt. Bowman gave orders for 8 squad of soldiers to take possession of Eos tcr's outfit and destroy all his stock of liquors, which they did in the presence of Foster, who says "it nearly broke his heart to see all those nice liquors drunk up by the ground, when make much money out of them" After the destruction of his stock Foster came to this place for legal advice, but got little satisfaction. While here Deputy U. s. Marshal Brown who has been on the track of Foster for about ten days, arrested him on charge of selling whisky to Indians while doing busi- ness at Red Rock. He was taken to Prescott for examination before U. s. Commissioner McGrew. Foster says that the latter charge is false and that all his trouble is caused by woman who is prosecuting him. - Mohave Miner.

A Haunted House.

This body of ours has been likened to a tenement It often has haunted aPartment-the stomach. Scared by the eldrich sPrite, dyspepsia, digestion flies and refuses to return. What can break the spell, what can raise the ban laid upon the unhappy organs? We answer unhesitatingly. Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, and we are warranted in the re- sponse by the recorded testimony of myriads, covering a period of over a third of a century. A course of the Bitters. begun in any stage of the affiic- tion, and persistently followed, will ter. minate in cure positive, net partial.

OVER TIE BORDER.
Written for the EPTTAPH

Written for the EPITAPH They ride like Black Death in his merciless
 flight; Their signal-fres gleam from the mountains at
 night; They murder and plunder but when they must
 fight Whiff they gallop of over the border Who stand in a row with their spy-gla ses high. Making heliograph signals through leagues of
 blue sky. With mustache fercely waxed and with sabre
 on thigh, With the renegades over the border9 Our cavalry, surely, whose prowess might span The gulf of the trouble, but who to man Are fated to cry Sister Anne, Sister Anne, Do you See anything on the border2' o. the red men are free to defy and escape; Like sated coyotes their course they may shape, But the white men are hobbled with ropes of
 Red Tape, While the renegades plunder the border

IT is being hinted around, and pretty strongly, too, that Governor
 Wolfey and Surveyor General John son made desperate efforts to compass the defeat of Hon. Geo. Christ, and it is also said that the means they used were not entirely creditable. The Nogales Herald which heretofore has been a strong supporter of the Cover nor, iusinuates that the Governor, to say the least, has some over jealous friends in that section, and in the in- terest of harmony asks him to shut them of. Events and doings are coming to light that justify the posi- tion taken by the EPITAPH 6 year ago, although at that time we occupied the not very enyiable position of being the only Republican paper daring to criticise the Governors actions. We did so because we thought it was for the benefit of the party, and we have no apology to offer. On behalf of the Republican party of the Territory, the EPITAPH asks the Governor to stop the war he and his friends have inaugurated on good Republicans, stop using the patronage of your office merely to reward personal friends in two towns Of the Territory, make an effort to be Governor of the whole Territory and use your eminent posi- tion to create harmony in the Repub- lican ranks, instead of creating dis sension. You have a splendid oppor- tunity to become the most popular man in the party if you will break away from your bad advisers and util- ize your opportunities, but as surely as you persist in your present course you will find yourself in the position in which Zulick found nimself-a Governor withou: party.

SOME years ago Tombstone went through the throes of an anti-Chinese excitement. The head and front of this agitation was c. N. Thomas. But times have changed, and now this anti-Chinese agitator has come to the conclusion that the Chinese are very fine people-at least good enough to go into business with. Last week Hop Lee, a well known Chinaman of this city, received letter from Mir. Thomas, who is wrestling with Q pros- pect hole near Mammoth, wanting Hop Lee to go into partnership with him in a restaurant at Mammoth. But Hop Lee declined. For a high toned agitator and Mayor of the Tombstone city water works it is con- siderable of come down to be re- fused favor by a Chinaman.

Worth Reading.

had fondly hoped that in this great struggle to give prosperity and happi- ness to 65,OO0,000 of people, ques- ton in which the very life of Arizona is centered-that Arizona would be able to stand up in Congress as one of the states of the Union with two sen- ators and member of Congress each having a vote and joining with those who are making this last grand strug- gle with the monied kings, and signal ize her advent into the Union by, in part, aiding to successfully carry through this great measure. Our friends standing on the picket line just before the battle asked us to join the fighting column; they needed our help and we need to help ourselves, but the response came in snivelling, half-hearted, squeaking voice, "excuse us, if you please; we are too poor" This response was not made by the hardy pioneers who have risked their lives thousand times to rescue and hold Arizona from barbarism. The voice was too weak and tremulous and the act was too selfish; on the con- trary had they been allowed voice they would have replied in laundering tones in the language of the poet, "Hold the fort for We are coming" etc. For the present this golden op- portunity has passed, and, like camp followers, we can only look on and see the battle wage and hope and pray for the result.
 One thing could and ought to be done at once. Meetings should be called in every precinct in the Terri tory and petitions should be circulated and signed by every inhabitant and sent to Washington without delay, re- questing Congress to stand by the pro- position for the full remonetization of silver. As said before, compromis- ing measure will do but little good, while the remonetization of silver will start every mine in Arizona in full operation; the prospectors will cover every hill seeking new mines; home market will be created fer every pro- duct that can be raised in the country at good prices; immigration will flow into the Territory by the tens of thous- ands and an era of prosperity will be inaugurated equal to the early dis coyery of gold in California. If the people will let small politics alone and stand by the right and for the best good of all, then Arizona will assume d position of power and influence equal to any State in the Union.-A. P. K. Stafford, in Florence Enterprise.

WE don't like the way the Arizona Republican is starting out. It is no secret that various Federal and Terri torial officials were asked to contribute to the fund to start the paper, and others have since been asked for dona- tions to help support it. Some con- tributed and others did not. There is nothing particularly objectionable in this, but when the paper begins to abuse those who refused to contribute, that is altogether different matter. MT. Drake refused to put anything into the fund, and few days since the Republican attacked him. MT. Drake is too well known in the Terri tory to need defense at our hands from attacks by strangers or anyone else. The Republican professes to be working for the best interests of the Republican party in the Territory, yet it Is scarcely two weeks old before it attacks one of the best known and influential members of the party in the Territory because he will not obey the behests of the people who are run ming the paper, and it is to be pre- sumed that others will receive like kindly notice. If this is working for the best interests of the party, then is the EPITAPH mistaken in it's inter- pretation. If the Republican con- tinues in this course, although it is a good newspaper, as far as any good il can do the party its existence will be worse than useless and it is doomed to failure under it's present management. The EPITAPH had made up it's mind to let byegones be byegones, but it cannot stand by and see an old per sonal friend and true and tried Repub- lican causelessly abused without en- tering protest.

Col. GARRISON, by grace of the act retiring officers on account of age, promoted to the command of the De partment of Arizona, has opened his mouth and spoken, and the ground lings of Arizona have taken scoot for the tall timber, or at least should in deference 10 the solid chunks of truth regarding the killing of MT. Hardie that have been fired at us through the telegraphic columns of the San Francisco papers. Col. Grier- son did gallant service during the re- bellion, but age seems to have dulled the edge of his fighting proclivities, and he does not seem to wish to leave the ease of his headquarters in Los Angeles to direct campaign against Indians in Arizona. The warm season is approaching in this country, and it is not very comfortable going over the country on horseback, so, instead of being in the saddle, he keeps both his headquarters and his hind quarters in Los Angeles. In order to excuse his inaction he promulgates few lies, the number makes no difference, and charges the Mexicans with the perpe- tration of the murder. It is conven- tent to have scape goat, but in this instance the Colonel made mistake. The parties who killed MT. Hardie killed and ate a colt. A Mexican is civilized and has too much love and respect for horse to kill and eat one. So, Colonel, you had better concoct some other theory. Why don't you come out and express yourself like man and say what you think. which would be about thus: Arizona be damned"

Dan Devore and John Spiess have been prospecting for some time past in the Gila City range, and a few days ago discovered ledge of gold quartz friable and very rich in the yellow metal. The ledge is from four to six feet wide and is located near Gila City on the Southern Pacific railroad. The owners will push work on the new strike so as to determine as soon as possible the value of the mine.-Yuma Sentinel.

North of Goodman's property ledge twenty feet in width has been found by J. H. Brown who has done considerable work on the mine. The ore is principally free milling, although some sulphurets are encountered which carry gold to the amount of twelve hundred dollars per. ton Yuma Sentinel.

NOTHING Of particularly startling nature has occurred during the week in this section regarding the Indian business. Some troops were ordered to march up the hill and then march down again. One of the lieutenants, not knowing that Grierson had said there were not any Indians out, told the truth about the murder of MT. Hardie, since which there has been a silence on that subject that can be felt. Last evening a troop of colored soldiers arrived in Tombstone, accom- panied by ten Apache scouts. This detachment started from Fort Grant Thursday, and are on their way to pa. trol the line below Bisbee Just why they were ordered to Bisbee and to take the route they did is difficult to understand, but it may be to prevent any needless exposure of the troops and to avoid the danger of running onto any fresh evidence that there are Indians out. As q reward for taking such good care of the colorcd troops and Indian scouts Colonel Griersnn should be promoted. Such gallant action deserves recognition. A tele- gram announces the killing of Mex ican boy and the mutilation of his body by a body of Indians in the Santa Catalinas, and says that force of soldiers surprised them and cap- tu!ed five, two getting away. The strange part of tiIis story is that the Indians allowed themselves to be sur prised and captured. Itsounds rather queer. But if it is so, il is strange that the commander of the soldiers allowed the Indians to be captured instead of shooting them down, espe- cially when they were discovered in the act of mutilating the body of the poor boy. The Star that arrived yes teTday contained news that leaves no doubt that party of about twenty Indians are skulking around the Rim cons and Santa Catalinas. But the citizens of southern Arizona must accept the word of Colonel Grierson that there are no Indians out. The viewing of poor Hardie's bullet-perfo- rated body was only dream, and his wife is lahoring under an hallucina- ton when she imagines that her hus- band has been killed.

 P. 0. Bicknell is in from Gold Hill to begin his duties as census enum- orator. He reports mining prospects out there very favorable. Marcel Dugas is running lot of ore through Lieut.. Dravos' 3-stamp mill, which yields an average of $42 per ton. After he finishes, Messrs. Bicknell and Gray will work up, in the same mill, a pile of rock from their Moneymaker mine, which probably carries $50 per ton. There will be water enough to run the mill, without pumping, until the middle of July at least. Further supplies can be developed as needed. -Phenix Herald.

The reports from the mines struck by Pierce and Norton are very fiatter- ing. Everybody in the Mohawk valley are excited over the discovery which is only six miles from Klenk's house. The main shaft is now down twenty five feet, the pay streak measuring four feet thick an,: running very high in gold. The new strike is an import ant one and it is to be hoped that it will continue as rich as it is now.

Death Flood.

Antonio Rios we'll known Arizonan, was drowned in the Colorado river near Norton's on Sunday morning last. He had just crossed the river with passenger in his ferry skiff, and returning to the Arizona side, his boat met whirlpool and up-ending plunged beneath the water. The boat reappeared on the surface twice, Rios retaining his hold on the boat, and the last time he came within six feet of the shore, when he let go the skiff and struck out for land, but the treacherous current dragged him back, and down the river, where he was lost sight, and will never again be seen, as the Rio Colorado meyer gives up its dead" The deceased was an indus trious man and left large family to mourn his untimely death."-Yuma Sentinel.

Two of the Phenix papers say 8 scheme is on foot to manipulate the census so that it will be shown that Arizona's claim that she is ready to assume the responsibilities of state hood is entirely unwarranted.
