Rev. j. S. Phillips, who was called
to the pastorate of the First Presby-
terian Church about a month ago,
has never been heard from, although
twice notified by letter by the church
1t is thought the letters miscarried, as
they were directed to town where he
was only temporarily stopping. The
church is still trying to get into com
munication with him.

worth and charm, if that be possible,
of her great gift of song. A face
btaming with animation, and an easy,
unstudied grace, both in motion and
repose, set off to advantage her petite,
willowy figure, which was admirably
adapted to her role. Her phrasing is
distinct and her elocution natural.
Her voice is pure soprano, even,
without break, increasing in sweet
ness and transparency of tone as it
reaches its highest pitch. The tender
melody "Tell me Daisy perhaps
struck some as her finest song. II
was delicious bit of sentiment, but
"Loye Comes Like Summer Sigh"
electrified the house. Mr.. Moore's
rich, sympathetic tenor blended ad-
mirably with the soprano of Violet,
and the full chorus swelling and dy-
ing away realized Orsino's similitude
of the music-laden south wind breath
ing over bank OF violets, stealing
and giving odor."
Two of the best personated charac-
ters were Mr.. Tobin's "Teddy" and
Mr.. Underwood's "Lord Dolphin"
"Ieddy's" makeup, brogue, costume
and irrepressible hilarity showed true
genius for character delineation and
kept the house in tempest of laugh
ter. The antipodes of "Teddy" was
Lord Dolphin, whose languid help
lessness and forcible feebleness was in
ludicrous contrast to his valet's vivao-
ity. Dolly Dimple with her sweet
voice and easy action made the best
possible development, of her part as
Violet's companion. General Knick-
erbocker's spirited song, "When | was
Boy" was highly meritorous per
formance. The character was superb
ly sustained. "The Cats on Our Back
Fence" was a big hit of the tortoise
shell and Maltese type. Rudolph
Steinhagen as Rufus Ready and
"Gull-Gull' interpreter to the Great
Tycoon" seemed to have the most
perfect conception of the two parts,
his action and manner in both being
especially marked and entertaining.
His song, "The Fatal Step" was de-
cided hit.
The Tycoon March" in grotesque-
ness, costume, melody and every other
feature was terpsichorian gem of the
first water.
One of the best hits of the evening
was the Goblin Dance of the Chorus
around tho terrified Lord Dolphin,
Gen. Knickerbocker and Teddy the
valet. The sable costumes, dismal
songs, frightful howls and grotesque
caperings of the Juveniles in their de-
moniac evolutions around their vic
tins evoked storm of ofmerriment.
The orchestral performance Of Will
liams' string and horn band, organized
by Arthur Banks, in its overture and
entire dctes, was fine feature of the
evening and added largely to its en-
joyment.
Altogether the performance was Of
the first order and merited the vast
audience and hearty applause it called
forth. A gentleman of cultivated
taste and superior judgment in such
remarked: ut was far the
best amateur performance l have ever
witnessed during my experience in
many cities

Perhaps the read-rs of the EPITAPH would ike to know in what respect Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy is better than any other. We will tell you. When this Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a cold has been contracted, and before 1t has become settled in the system, it will coun;eract the effect of the cold and greatly lessen its severity if not effectually cure the cold in two days time, and it IS the only remedy that will do this. II acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions, lique- Nlng the mucu5 and causing it's expul- sion from the air C, Is of the lungs and restoring the system 10 strong and healthy condition. No other remedy ;n the market possesses these remarkable properties. No other will cure cold as quickly or leave the system in as sound a condition. 90 cent and one doll bottles for slle by H. ].

Tie Grand Canyon Mines.

Day after day the glad tidings reach here that mineral abounds in the canon in immense lodges. Specimen followed by specimen is sent to the scientific assayist to test the value Of these deposits. Since the first dis covery by Ashurst, Morris and Mar shall, all who have gone there to search for gold and silver bring back rock bearing mineral of some nature and all express the strongest conhd- ence that the canon contains tons upon tons of rich ore of either gold or silver. After the first discovery party composed of John Hance, John Diamond, Ed. Geddie, Wm. Hull, Barney Stiles, Mike Curlin, John Toller and Furlow crossed the river from the Ashurst, Morris and Marshall mines and found the same vein ex- tending through the rock on the op- posite side They located three mines, two on this side and one on the other side of the river We had an inter view with Wm. Hull who came in from the canon few days since, and he is thoroughly convinced that his party have rich mines. He described the ledge as extending mp and down a cliff Of rocks for a distance Of three thousand feet and the width from 175 to 200 feet. The formation Is that of granite, syenite and slate. This party has sent specimens to the Pueblo Smelling works and also New York. They have sent out supplies and will commence work at once Vim. Ashurst and Vim Hull, some five years ago were over the very spot where these mines are, but did not at the time ever dream that they were in the midst of a rich gold and silver region. MT. Hull says they have large quanti- ties of water at hand, and that ma chinery can be placed near their find. On Tuesday John Diamond, one of the Hull party, came in from the canon bringing specimens from both the Ashurst and their own mines. He also brought specimens sent by G. J. Shultz to G. A. Wood, in whose in- terest Shultz is prospecting. Below we give copy of the letter:
 Big mines, April 3d, 1880. I ar rived all safe and sound here. Have prospected about considerable Ashurst feels good over his mine. Have seen some of his ore. It Is immense. l go down to the mines. I send some of my find 10 you to see what you think ot it. Both of the small pieces are from the same ledge. and think they ! carry gold, the other I think IS silver. Gold is No. l, silver No. }; am in rush. G. J SHULTZ."
 pr. Manning, who has had an ex- tensive experience in the mining business, was shown the specimens sent by Shultz and pronounced them the best yet seen. Wood has sent the specimens to Denver to be assayed. The excitement grows, and parties are leaving daily for the mines. There is scarcely doubt but that the mines are very valuable, and that it will he one of the greatest camps in the west. Some of the parties have been offered, conditionally, enormous prices for their mines.-Flagstaff Democrat.

A Central American Union has been formed, the result and first fruits of the International American Con ference. The five republican states are to be coufederated under one form Of government. It is to have a chief executive, a cabinet of five members -one drawn from each of the states and congress Of fifteen representatives, three being from each Republic in the confederation. These Republics, like the states in the north, will retain in dependent statues for tho regulation of their own domestic af1.irS. The -ilent will hold office for one year, and will be drawn from each state re- spectively; thus giving each state, once in five years, the head of the general government, A preliminary compact has heen signed for len years, and ii a. the end of such a lime the Republic Is d success, the union will be made permanent. Honduras is temporarily to be the capital and at that place federal constitution will be signed and the Republic of Central America" make her debut on the 12th of September.

GENERAL JOHN c. FREMONT, whose name has been conspicuOusly before the country for nearly half a century as explorer, politician and soldier, died in New York recently. General Fremonrs claims to celebrity are based chiefly on his explorations and that he was the first candidate of the Republican party for President. Great expectations were entertained of him during the early part Of our late war, but as a commander he proved a fail ure. At one time he was Governor Of Arizona, but he was not well liked by our citizens.

 Whatever disasters may dawn, Any post. old settler can tell you:
 Its very much worse in Tucsonl' Stiff sand storms have troubled us lately, And dusted us over Ike fl ,ur; They whirl thro' the streets like cyclone, And sweep the roads bire in an hour Should you venture abroad when is blowing, And your breath and your temper are gone, You're sure to h ar some body 'aying;
 "Oh, it's vey-y much worse in Tucsonl" The warm days, they tell us, are coming One hundre an1 two in the shade The days for which hammocks and palm leaves And icy cream sodt are made When ou say you are dre lding hot weather. And are glad vixen the dog-1ays are gone: "Why, We have II quite cool Asys, they tell you, Its very much worse in Tucson!' Oh, low do you bear lifr, gocd people, In that terrible city, Tucson2 Don't you want 10 come join us in Tombstone, And feel that your troubles are dore7 If you think we are vain of our city, And proud of our mines, and so on, Don't cal us " stuck uP."

Sun Signals.

Lieut. Witlemeyer, of the Ninth United States Infantry, was in Phenix Thursday on his way to Ft. Mcdowell, where he will take part in military eX- periments there with the heliograph or signal mirror, the use of which has become so important in Indian cam paigns. Lieut. Wittemeyer has been drilling force in San Diego for some time past in the use of this instru ment, and exhibitions of the work have been frequently made of late be- tween the barracks and the mountain back of La Jolla, q distance of IS miles. The telegraphic alphabet is interpreted by flashes. Lieut.. Witte- meyer says that heliographic signals haze been conveyed over distances of so miles in Arizona. Quartermaster Wilson states that army men expect to nave continuous line Of signals from San Francisco to San Carlos, with branches in vari1us directions. It was these signals, used by General Miles, that made Geronimo declare he could no longer hope to scalp white women and babies when the white men could use heavens sun in hunt. ing down Geronimo'S blooI-thirsty red Herald

Stoned I Lion to Death.

The Eagle Pass Guide is authority for the following story:
 MT. J. A. Learmonth, of the Ha- cienda Nacimiento, near Musquit, Goa huila, Mexico, is in the city, and tells a story of one of his shepherds which reminds one of King David's youthful encounters with q "liOn and a bear" in defence of his fathers fiocks. In the mountains of Coahuila the large game which was once so common all over Texas, still fingers, and the panther, the puma or Mexican lion, and the bear are still as common there as the wildcat or coyote are in Nave rick county. One night recently q large lion made dash upon one of the Messrs. Learmonth's herds of goats, passing entirely through the iiocks with great bounds and killing a goat at each leap but being too fright ened 10 pick up as much as one of its eight victims. As the puma generally returns to d herd it has once visited every second night, MT. Learmonth arranged to be there to meet the brute with hounds and guns two nj shts after his first visit. However, the puma T I fOr ElnV, In 9l,a ,,Iol, f following his first visit, he again ap- peared at the goat pens. This time, however. he was headed off by three "cur" dogs owned by the shepherd LOy and dri,en- into a bunch of nopal where he lay at bay, the dogs charg- ing him on all sides, barking, snap ping, and bewildering him. By this time the shepherd, Mexican boy, came up; and, though he knew that the savage brute could kill him with one blow, he boldly advanced to the attack. He had no weapons but his blanket and some rocks. Making d shield of his blanket after the fashion of bull fighter, he charged up to within good range of the puma, hurled his stone at the animals head and re- treated for another missile. This he kept up, with help of the dogs, till he had fairly stoned the animal 10 death. The puma's hide, when removed from the carcass, measured eight feet from head to tail.
