He's Right.

Arizona has received g good word from the pen of Congressman Bowers of San Diego who recently visited Phenix on his way to Washington. What he saw astonished him beyond all expectation. In a long letter to the San Diego Sun he tells of the great future in store for this state, and calls the attention of San Diegans to the opportunity they are neglecting by not opening connection with the coast at that point. He says:
 What San Diego wants is a railroad to Yuma, and it will never take it's place as an independent port until such a road is built to connect your harbor with the great rich valleys of Arizona, and it should not be forgotten that these valleys can get along much better without San Diego than San Diego without them, far they are, or will soon be, connected with two trans.continental lines.

Six Months.

Harry Scott was arrested last Tues day night after being found not guilty of assault to commit murder, on a charge of threats to kill. He was taken to jail and broug ght before Jus tice Johnston this morning where evil dence of threats were proven to have been made. Letters were produced which Scott had written to Mrs. Igo, refecting upon MT. Igo's character. also proof that Scott had tried to in duce L. E. Page to foreclose mortgage on Igo's property, to break him up. Allen English managed the prosecu- tion, this time with the result that Scott was given six months in the county jail, or that he give bonds in the sum of $25OO to keep the peace.

The Charitable Poor.

That the poor are good to one another is the silent testimony of the race of beggars. Many of the cross streets up town through which throngs of work ing people pass to and from their work, says the New York Sun, are infested with beggars in the early morning and evening hours, and to an incredible ex- tent. These birds of prey, who are for the most part bloated, ragged women whose tatters are redolent of whisky, place themselves close to the stoop of some respectable dwelling house, and
 crouching against the rail, hold out a grimy hand which suggests rather than asks gift. Young girls going to their work are moved to compassion, and men feel superstitious repugnance to passing an old woman in want, and so these sodden, hopeless waifs of humani- ty find it profitable to haunt the places through which the tide of daily labor ebbs and flows most swiftly. In the matter of charity, the practical diff ference seems to be that the rich sub scribe to charitable societies, the poor give to those poorer than themselves. But the poor give from their poverty.

Too Empbatic.

During session of the house of com. mons the members wear their hats, which they remove when rising to speak or to make a motion. This cus- tom is occasionally the cause of a com as to remaln outside, and finally our acquaintance ripened until they would do their work while I remained a watcher. I have stood by the hour watching the little fellows at work. They taught me that the claim of sci entifc men that the coral does not grow more than one inch in one hun dred years is the sheerest nonsense
 My pets builded an inch in six months. How do they work? We'll, that is a rather difficult question to answer. The little animal is sack; that is, his stom- ach is the biggest part of him. He is a compound animal, and increases by germination, young polyps springing from the original polyp. The upper surface is arrayed with tentacles, and the body is separated by number of partitions that extend from the stomach to the outer skin. Between these walls the carbonate of lime is deposited.

CONDENSED NEWS.

The following is the standing of the New York le gislature: Democrats 16 Republicans 15, Independents 1. The case in the vote of lieutenant-governor will give the organization of the sen- ate to the Democrats. This calcula-' ton leaves the senate itself the ascer tainment and decision in the case of Beck of Syracuse, who is alleged to be @ citizen of Canada. The assembly therefore is expected to contain 67 Democrats and 61 Republicans.
 A dispatch from Buenos Ayres says, The news of the addiction of Fonseca was received in Rio Grande do Sul with general satisfaction and has put an end to the revolutionary movement in the statement. The Instructions placed in the Rio Grande have been removed and the river has been re- opened to commerce. The insurgents are disbanding.
 Mrs. Cyrus w. Field died Tuesday aged 72.
 The Right Hon. Edward Robert Bulwer Lytton, earl of Lytton, ambas. sador to France, died suddenly from heart disease.
 Immediately on securing by Minnie apolis of theiRepublican national con vention, the Democrats of St. Paul thought they should have the Demo- cratic national convention, and it is probable that an enormous movement will be made.
 Fifty of the most respectable women in the town of Bremen Ohio, Sunday night raided disreptable house where they found seven men and four women. The men were allowed to escape, but the women were nearly beaten to death, and given 20 minutes in which to leave the town. The house was completely demolished.

Thanksgiving.

An Arizona Thanksgiving day means one with g cioudless sky, no wind, bracing atmosphere with no demand for overcoats and general good time. Yesterday was no exception The base ball game was the attrac- tion at the race track in the afternoon The Huachuca club came in on two wagons and presented natty ap- pearance in their bright oolored suits. The game was an interesting one and resulted in 8 victory for the Tomb stone boys by a score of 25 to 5. The Huachuca nine had splendid battery but were weak in other places. Our boys as usual played an all-round good game. The soldier boys intend to practice more and give our nine another challenge in the near future. The visitors were much pleased with their visit and had 8 general good time. Many of them had not seen much of western life and fell ill love with it at first sight.
 In the evening everybody repaired to the skating rink to see the event oi the season-the skating carnival. The Huachuca band of six pieces had been engaged and the verdict was that they were simply immense" The rink was crowded with participants and spectators. The characters were all good and many original ideas were represented. Lack of space precludes an extended mention of all the cos tunes.
 The first prize was won by MT. Steve Aguirre as Spanish bull fighter,
 The second prize for the best dress ed lady was awarded to Miss Will Sneed as Esmeralda.
 Miss Burr, of Bisbee, captured the prize for second best dressed lady. The best sustained character was awarded to Mrs, Herrera who posed as a barber pole which was carefully guided around by Mrs. Sydow.
 Oakley Arnold as the little piccaniny captured the prize for second best sustained character,
 After the amusement afforded by the unmasking had been indulged in to the hearts content, dancing was the order of the balance of the night, and was enjoyed most thoroughly. The music was divine, and the verdict was that the manager of the affair, Ben Baron, was 8 decided success at getting up an entertainment that could be so generally enjoyed as was this thanksgiving carnival.

PUT DOWN AS 4 HOSlER,

Amusing Incident Apropos of James
 Whitcomb Riley's Reputation Abroad.
 James Whitcomb Riley went abroad recently, and on the vessel coming back volunteered for the regular ships con- cert for the benefit of destitute mar iners, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. He read a number of his poems, which were rapturously re- ceived by everybody present with the exception of two very stolid English men in the front row. The following conversation ensued between them later on in the smoking room: ,
 II say, Arthur, what was that chaps name who read the verses?"
 "Aw, that's Wilcox Riley-he's quite
 clever tradesman."
 "Bless me, who'd "a thought it! heard he was literary chap and all that sort of thing"
 "No, I'm told he's hosier."
 "You don't say so? Really, now, what pity it is that man like him should be tied down to shop"
 And this is what it is to be the Hoosier poet.

TUCsoN tried to get Jay Gould to spend the winter there for his health. Last Monday Louis Huller the rail- way king and called the Jay Gould of Mexico, died on the train and his body was taken of the cars there. The press of that city simply said "A man named Huller died on the train yes terday and will be buried here tomor- LOW" That settles Tucson in the es- timation of those of us who have money. We'll die elsewhere.

ECONOMY IN CIGARS.
A Business Mans Method of CurtailiI
 Expenses.

A Business Mans Method of Curtailini
 Expenses.
 A well-known business man walked into cigar store the other morning, says the Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat, and took out two coins! One was a dollar and the other a half dollar. He laid them both down on the case and pointed to box of imported cigars, saying: "Give me 8 dollars worth of those." The clerk handed them out and the buyer laid the six that he want ed in a row along the case. Then he said to the clerk: ''Give me half a dol lars worth of any good five-cent cigar" The clerk did as he was bid and the five-centers were laid along in a row also. The gentlemen then took the row of imported cigars and cut the ends off of them all. Then he mixed the five-centers and the twenty-centers up together and put them all into his capacious vest pockets.
 A friend who was standing near, and who had watched the operation with good deal of curiosity, said: "Where- fore?" Simply this, my boy" replied the man addressed. "I am in business where have to give away a good many cigars. am man who likes a good cigar. I cannot afford to give away the kind of cigars smoke myself, so buy days supply and cut the ends off. Then I buy some cheap ones. When it is necessary for me to give away 8 cigar pull out a handful and offer one to the person, whoever he may be. He thinks that the ones with the ends cut off have had in my mouth, and takes one of the cheap ones, whereby save good many dollars in the course of a year and also keep myself on good terms with the people to whom it is necessary to give cigars"

The Los Angeles Express of Wed nesday contains notice of the death of Mrs. J. F Burns of that city. Mrs. Burns was a sister of Mrs R. w. Wood of this city, and woman es- teemed wherever known for her many virtues, among which her unselfish devotion to the welfare of others was most prominent. Many acquaintances in Tombstone will deeply deplore her untimely death, and join in the sorrow more deeply felt by those more closely attached to her.

A PROTEST.
The Arrival of Apachr Soldiers at Huachuca not
 Relished.

The citizens of Tombstone and Co., chise county generally do not hail with any amount of satisfaction the proposed location of an Apache com pany at Huachuca. The Sentinel, pub. lished there, and which is con serva- tive representation of the general opinion in army circles as far as this branch of it is concerned, has this to say regarding the Apache as soldier
 eff reports are true, the Indian company at Whipple Barracks has made bad break. Pay day brought the temptation, and the Indians under the garb of soldiers, got whiskey, and the usual result followed,
 "This occurrence has proven con- clusively that dressing an Indian in a soldiers uniform does not eliminate the Indian nature from him. The untamed tiger is in him, perchance caged or lying dormant, but if the occasion is offered, the savage brute will come forth with all it's native ferocity. The government has been right in visiting.a heavy punishment upon any one selling whiskey to In dians, and it is evident that this same law will need to be kept in force over the Indian when he is made a soldier.
 "We confess we have very little con- fideace in these tigers dressed up in blue coats and blacked shoes, so long as arms and ammunition are put in their hands. The sight and smell of blood is likely at any time to turn the whole post into pandemonium. We have studied this Indian business for over twenty-five years, have lived near them most of the time, have vis- ited their schools have talked with the missionaries, have been on intimate terms with the agents, and we are convinced that the time to begin to make citizen or soldier out of an Indian is in his youth and the young CT the better. We hays no fear but that any of these Indian companies can be guarded and cared for and utilized to some extent. in we'll gar risoned posts away from cities and places of unusual temptations, but we confess that an Indian company with it's legalized squaw appendages. put down in camp of soldiers, does not cause to loom up before our vision any rosy landscape or particularly brilliant moral prospect. We will, however, gladly contribute our best endeavor to help guard against the evil, and encourage all that is good"

Miss Sarah Herring who has taugf

Miss Sarah Herring who has taught 30 long and satisfactorily in the Tombstone public school, has sent in her res gnation, which was reluctantly accepted by the trustees. Miss Laura Hunsaker has been appointed to take the vacancy, and will commence her duties next Monday. Miss Herring will assist her father, Col. Wm. Her ring in his office. In the loss of Miss Herring's services, the public have cause for regret. Her scholars lose a friend and instructor which time or circumstances will not efface from their memories.

THE grand jury of Maricopa county found things in pretty rotten shape up there. Among other things they said, was to voice the popular senti- ment that the contract system of car ing for patients of the countyis wrong and should be remedied by the next legislature.
