The Epitaph 6eems to think that we stated some article incorrectly last evening, bnt fails to state what par ticular item it meant. We don't know what it refers to, but would ask Bro. Dunbar to watch his own col umns pretty close, and let his Allen atreet neighbor aloncas there is sharp pencils in that office, and muscular fingers to use them. Passing the Fifth street news store to-day, wc observed the proprietor, Mr. Barnes, busily engaged in un packing holiday goods, which by the time this reaches tneeye of our reader will all be placed upon the shelves and in'cases for the inspection of the public, who are respectfully requested to call and examine before looking elaewhere. The SW Robber. The following liC8 WCre written by Johnny Bennett who is well known in this city, and who has been convicted in Phenix on two charges of stage robbery, to the Gazette of that place : It was in the month or Aujrust AeHth a clear and azure sky. Vie were slttlatr by the river John Pennington and I. O'er our heads the slender willows Quivered eently In the breeze: At uur feet the silvery rivulet 8an; sweetest melodies.

My friendship "you" have sacrificed; 'Your" liberty was far sweeter; And now "yoiii1' fomie.t hope hts failed: . .. ij mi jviu, poor creature. But yet I'll light to ssil.ld thee. Though to the law thou didst yield me To pay the ransom of my fate. O, traitor! I bive1eirm-d thee Bui it is too late! Now mj advice to one and all.

Take heed in time, elht ont of nine, W ill suiely prove the traitor! Obliging: Wire. Butte City Town Talk. The following conversation was over heard to-day l.y our reporter at Sands & Boyce's corner on Main street, be tween two ladies: 'Why do you make such a disgust ed face? Is there anything particu larly the matter with you this morn ing?" "I believe my husband is fixing to run off with another woman." "If I thought that, and I was in your place, I'd get even with him. I'd run off with some other man." "Well isn't that what I've been try ing to do for the last six month's! Where is the other man?" "I am not sure, but if you were to encourage him a little, I think my husband would run off with you. I wish he would elope with you, for then I'd have an excuse to go with one of the leading citizens, a promi nent man, who has been paying me marked attention of late. I'd rather have my husband elope with you than any other lady friend I've got." Rollin 3Imiic!i:iucii I:isSTCtt. ICarson Api;ea!.l Nobody can help admiring the sub lime assurance of our friend Rollin M. Daggett. He was around the State a few months ago announcing that he was going into the Senatorial fight with the following wholesale backing: John Mackay and the mines; William Sharon and the mills; J. P. Jones and the mines and mills; W. S. Hobart and the mines and mills and flumes; the C. P. R. R. and all their rolling stock; the moral support of Col. J. G. Fair; the underground influence of Cassidy; the personal cheek of Rollin M. Daggett; and the Washoe support of Christopher Powning. All this blooming occurred while he had a commission from the Sandwirh Islands in his coat-tail pocket, and was traveling over the continent as a naturalized citizen of the Sandwich Islands. The Appeal is opposed to importing candidates from the coffe-:olored do minions of the Pacific to run as Sen atorial candidates in this State. K.et Them Ont. N. Y. Ssn Warner and Work must have a fair trial in an open court, before a jury of 12 honest, incorruptible men men above suspicion. Nothing short of that will satisfy the public, already out of patience with the varying jug glery, the strainings, the evasions, the extra-legal devices, and the sophistries by which is sought to compass their escape. If these men are to go free with a million and more of stolen money, let Sing Sing and Auburn open their doors and set free Ward and Fish! Let us have poetic justice anyhow! The public cannot be de ceived. A choice lot of dried fruit of all kinds, at R. P. Mansfield's.

Judge Easton will hold court in his new office, just opposite the publica tion rooms of The Daily Tombstone. Chas. Wallace, who is a pupil of the California Military Academy, situated at Oakland, California, will return home this evening to spend the holi days.

Mr. W. E. Morris, who has been employed at Fort Huachuca in the construction of several now buildings, came in from that place yesterday on a visit to his family and returned to day to his labors.

A handsome gold watch and chain will be raffled off on the the evening of the twenty-third for the benefit of the Catholic church. Everybody should take a chance when it is for so worthy an object. An Eccentric: Publics! torn. Tho latent novelty in newspapers is published in Paris, and entitled the Bon Guide, it is the organ of the va grants and sturdy beggars' interests. But one copy is published. The craft are allowed to peruse it every morn ing, where they find the addresses of the charitable people, weddings and meets, good to be famed. Advertise ments are received: one is from a blind man, who is willing to sell his standing ground in a street in fact, retiring from business.

Truly the uses of the art of printing are every day being more and more developed. m The Whims of IVlsceler. Agent Roswell G. Wheeler, of the Pima Indian Agency, was in town Tuesday, and was not in a very happy frame of mind because of an article in the Enterprise questioning his hon esty. He came with blood in his eye, but returned home, we are pleased to state, without drenching the street with gore ur driving the editor of this truly religious sheet into hysterics. By the way speaking of Mr. Wheeler, we would like to inquire does he re member of buying two stallions lately for the government and charging the lat.er $ 825 for the same, and does lie remember that he paid only $200 for one of these horses and ?2G0 for the other, and that he gave Mr. Brazec, of Mesa City, f 100 to manipclate the job him and sign the voucher for $825? And, come to think of it, did he not sell a set of government harness at Phenix witq a pair of mules and put tho money in his own pocket? Didn't he dispose of a wagon load of govern ment stores at Mesa City? Didn't he fatten hogs on government swill and and grain and turn them into the In dian sohool under a fictitious contract as beef? Didn't he have a condem ning board sign a report to the effect that they had examined, condemned and destoyed a lot of arlicks at the agency that were sub sequently issued to the In dians as new articles, and the new articles taken and sold? Didn't he do freighting with government teams and divide the profit with the teamster? Didn't he visit the Tombstone con vention as a delegate and charge his expenses to the government, with the statement that the said expenses were incurred by a trip to the Papago re servation on government business? These are a few of the facts in our possession, but they are only a drop in the bucket, so to speak. We have in our Lands an abundance of the most damaging evidence, and if Mr. Wheeler and his friends do not be lieve that we are prepared to prove all we say now, or may say hereafter, let them sue us for libel. We challenge them to the contest. Florence En terprise. COli.Yn RECORDS.

Several changes having lately been made by the postoffice department in rates of postage affecting newspapers and packages of merchandise, we note several of the most important: Rates of postage on second-class natter will be one cent per pound, or fraction thereof, including papers for Canada, with the exceptions noted bo low: Each piece of second-class matter offered for mailing must be properly enclosed in a wrapper, clearly ad dressed; or all pieces of mail-matter for one postoffice may be securely en closed in one wrapper, addressed to the postmaster, provided each piece enclosed is properly addressed. Any article or item in any newspa per or other publication may be mark- eu lor observation, excopt by written or printed words, without increase of postage. Second-class matter cannot be en closed in envelopes; but must be wrapped exposed at both ends, so that the contents can be readily examined. Letters, merchandise sealed against inspection, and other first-class mat ter, will pass through the mail at two cents for each ounce or fraction there of, without the package being limited to four pounds in weight, as in the case of third and fourth-class matter. Merchandise not sealed and other wise mailable can pass through the mails at one cent for each ounce or fraction thereof. Manuscript by itself is first-class matter. Proofs and corrected proofs are third-class matter, and may be ac companied by the original written manuscript. The Epitaph publishes an article this morning in reference to business men not supporting their home pa per, and sending away from here for their job work. Now we know of many cases of this kind ourselves, and are in hopes that the practice will cease, as it is just as fair to send away for your merchandise, clothing and in fact everything you need, as it is to subscribe for an outside paper. The home newspaper is a photograph of the city in which it is published, and if it is illy supported people abroad who scan its columns will size up tho town accordingly. So we say to the citizen of Tombstone patronize your home newspaper by all means. Messrs. Ca?sar and Wcbrfuts, will put down a new eidawalk in front of the Crystal palace saloon.
