ON OFFIC
Tlie Toons Widow.
By special request we publish
the following true and touching
stanzas:
She is modest, but not bashful
Free and easy, bnt not bold;
Like an apple, ripe and mellow
Not too young and not too old;
Half inviting, lialf repnlsive.
Now advancing, and now shy
Tnere is mischief in hsr dimple.
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human catnre;
She is schooled in all her arts; '
6he has taken her diploma
As the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
Oh! a maid is sometimes charming.
But a widow all the whilo.
. Are you sad? How very serious
Will her handsome f ace' become!
Are yon angry? She is wretched.
Lonely, friendless, tearful, dumb!
Are you mirthful? How her laughter,
Silver sonnding, will ring oat!
She cob luro, and catch, and play yon.
As the angler does the trout.
Yon old bachelors of forty,
Wrho have grown so bold and wise
Y. oung Americans of twenty.
With the love looks in your eyes
Yon may practice all tho lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But I know a little widow
Who could win and fool yon all.
The Bullion, of Socorro, says
there is a movement in New Mex
ico and Arizona, now on foot, to
clean out the San Carlos reserva
tion. Let every citizen of Now Mexico
and Arizona sign an appeal to the
President to remove the Apaches
from their present reservations.
The New Orleans Exposition
closed on the 31st ulL It is con
templated to reopen it during the
ensuing fall. Exhibitors who do
not propose to participate in tho
succeeding exhibit are packing
their effects' with a view to their
removal. Pecuniarily the exhibi
tion was a failure.
The Star reports that two Ameri
cans were executed by the Mexi
can troops, nbout fifty miles from
Opusura. They belonged to the
Yaqni command as soldiers. The
Mexicans put all . foreigners to
death whom they capture fighting
with the Indians. The Yaquis
also treat foreign prisoners in a
like manner.
In the name of the suffering
people of Arizona and New Mex
ico, and of common humanity, we
protest against the further prac
tice of a policy that leaves ono of
tho leading nations of the earth
powerless to protect its citizens
from the ravages of cn insig
nificant remnant of a race of sav
ages. Denver News.
"Have you any excuse?" asked
tho judge of a man who had been
Bnmmoned on the jury.
'Yes, sir; my wife is sick."
"Not a legal excuse. We want
a good jury for this case, a case of
train robbing. Any other excuse?"
"Yes, sir; I have rheumatism."
"Not a legal excuse."
"I used to live in Missouri."
"You did? Well, then, get out
of here." We don't want you."
The Galveston News speaks
kindly of Arizona's Commissioner
of Immigration. It says: "Mr.
Patrick Hamilton, Commissioner
of Immigration for the Territory
of Arizona, gives the readers of
the News' another glimpse at the
attractions of the 'sunny land of
silver.' There are few men in
Arizona better able to describe
the resources of tho Territory
than Mr. Hamilton, and none
that can throw so much enthusi
asm into the work."
The Citizen said a few days
go that the bottom lands along
the lower Colorado river, from
old Fort Yuma south, to where it
empties into the Gulf of Cali
fornia, are extensive and very
rich. An old-timer, who has been
over it times witnout number, in
referring to that section said: "It
the richest land God ever
mado. Why," he said, casting his
eyes upward, "hemp wild hemp
grows twenty feet high down
there, and in sufficient quantities
to supply the whole country with
ropo and jute for grain sacks. The
soil is black as Egyptian night.
If the hostiles, when they got
tired of raiding and rapine, are
permitted to return te the reserva
tion, let the settlers "break out"
and wage a war against the whole
Apache tribe, beginning at San
Carlos agency. Blood for blood
will be the cry. Thousands of our
people have been murdered and
mutilated, and the government has
pardoned,pampered and petted the
perpetrators. Such a policy should
be no longer tolerated. It is cruel;
in fact, damnable. It retards
progress, encourages crime and is
a disgrace to a civilized and chris
tianized nation. Florence Enterprise.
Larse Grain Sale.
Rosenthal & Kutner have jnst
effected the sale of 1,000,000
pounds of Salt River valley wheat
to San Francisco exporters, the
same to be delivered on the cars
at Maricopa; and to be shipped
thence to England, via New Or
leans. This fully demonstrates
that the shipment of Salt river
grain to foreign markets, so suc
cessfully inaugurated by Messrs.
Rosenthal & Kutner a few months
since, has- become a permanent
business, and carries with it much
promise to the producer. Mr.
Rosenthal 6ays that he will com
mence the shipment of this new
lot of wheat just as soon as the
present crop is harvested.
we learnoa some time since
that the firm ' above named had
stipulated to receive all the grain
grown in tne Salt River valley
for several years, so when the
farmer sows his grain he has as
surance that he will realize a cer
tain price for the same. . The Ger
man firm knows what they are
doing, and unless Bismarck bnsts
grain growers know that they
have a market
Secretary Lamar has received,
at Washington, a letter from
James K. Metcalf, of Silver City,
N. M., a gentleman who has had
much experience in the manage
ment of Indians, and who is well
known in Clifton, suggesting a
solution of the difficulties now
existing at the San Carlos Indian
reservation. His plan is as fol
lows: Send all the soldiers to the
reservation. Let them take charge
of every woman and child on the
reservation. Then say to the
bucks: "You must bring in those
hostile Indians, dead or alive, or
your wives and children will be
taken to a far off land, where you
will never see them again. Take
my word for it," the writer says,
"in less than two months the
trouble will end. Require them
to bring tho live Indian or his
head. Send a few Mexicans along
to see that they do not bring in
Mexican heads they are no fools
in cunning. When the hostile
bucks are brought in try and
execute every one who rr.s on the
war-path, and do it in the pres
ence of all the Indians."
The President is gaining reputa
tion as a wit. Two ladies called on
him one day last week. One was
the wife of a distinguished naval
officer. Where is your husband,
madam?" asked tho President.
"With his ship in the Pacific
squadron," was the reply. "In
the Pacific?" was the President's
querying rejoinder. "Why, I
thought that the entire navy was
down there in Whitney's war.
It is also related that when Mr.
J ustice Field called at the White
House, the other day, to argue at
length the desirabilitv of enlarg
ing the Supreme Court, the Presi
dent, acceding courteously to all
his arguments, said: "Yes, but
Mr. Justice, if the Supreme Court
is enlarged, what becomes of my
Cabinet?"
The Silver City Enterprise pub
lishes the following communica
tion, with a request that Arizona
papers copy:
Coonet, N. 51., June 3, 1SS5.
Editors Enterprise: It being:
evident that the white troops are
not sroing to render us anv more
protection than the black ones
have in the past, and with a view
to securing lasting peace with the
Apaches in future, I hereby pro
claim that I will organize, equip.
feed and lead 100 men from west
ern Socorro county on a campaign
ugaiust tne Indian reservation of
San Carlos, and call upon five
others in New Mexico and Arizona
who will do likewise, to correspond
with me for the purpose of per-
jfecting an organization and agree
ing upon the proper time to
strike. Respectfully,
M. Cooney.
Stockmon of Arizona and New
Mexico are sending their cowboys
to tho front to cut off the renegades.
They are well armed and are going
forward in small squads. If they
come in sight of the redskins they
will not halt; they are good shots
good trailers and can scatter and
make a running fight if necessary.
If they strike the Indians it means
extermation bucks, squaws and
brats will be treated alike. It is
estimated there is 120 in all told.
If they can engage tho red devils
before they cross the track the
results will no doubt be satisfac
tory." A gold coin has been exhumed
in Salt Lake City which is not
mentioned in any numismatical
work, aud is supposed to be a relic
of the prehistoric inhabitants of
the continent.
Rono Colored Statistics.
R. H. Allen, a colored statisti
cian, gives the following figured
concerning the negroes in this
couutry. He says that twenty
years ago the Southern . States'
contained 3,974,000 colored peo'plej
whilo now there are more than
7,000,000. Five hundred colored
babies are born every day in the
United States. The colored pop
ulation doubles every thirty years,'
and the white population only
once in thirty-five years. At the'
present rate of increase, in 1985
them will be 96.000.000 white
people in the United States and
192,000,000 colored. The colored ,
population of the Southern States
pay taxes on more than 591,000,000
worth of property. They edit anof..
publish 106 newspapers, and yet
one-seventh of the entire popula
tion cannot read or write.
. Crook is a great general on pa
perbut Geronimo is his superior
in the field, as proven on several
occasions. Record.
The Arizona canal, connecting
the tipper Salt river with Cave
creek, which has been in process
of construction for two years, is
now complete and the water
turned in. Its cost was half a
million of dollars. .Itwill operr
up to cultivation a tract of land
large enough to support in itself
a city twice as large as Phoenix;
During the last five.years there'
have been filed the articles of in
corporation of thirty-seven differ
ent railroad companies especially;
organized for the construction of
roads in Arizona. Soma of these'
roads were to be entirely within
the Territory, while others were
of a more pretentious character,
with termini stated sufficiently
indefinite to give their incorpo
rators latitude enough to permit
them building to any point in the"
universe if they possessed the'
cash and desire to do it.
In Tombstone, June 1st, as
Judge W. F. Fitzgerald, of Tuc
son, was presiding m tne uistncc
Court, A. Fortloiiis, wholesale
merchant, and Max Marks, a well
known citizen,- stepped outside"
the court room and had a per
sonal encounter within hearing of
the court, causing much confusiorf.
The next morning the Judge in
flicted 100 fine or five days iri
jail each, for contempt. Much in
terest is manifested m the affair;
especially among the Jewish com
munity, to which the participants'
belong.
The Southwest Stockman says:
"The fight for Territorial Federal
offices still goes on, and it is hard
to tell who has the inside track
Hon. G. H7 Oury, ex-delegatev to;
Congress, has returned from Wash
ington and expresses the belief
that the matter of Territorial ap
pointments will not be reached1
until next month. D. K. Ward
well has gone to Washington to
urge his distinguished claims to'
the Marshalship. If he cannofi
get this it is probable he will strike
the President for a lunch ticket:
and an easy pair of walking shoes."
An Austin clergyman, not long'
since, met a prominent saloon
keeper with whose family he was
acquainted. "How is it I never see1
you in church?" asked the pastor:
"Because I don't go there. If yott
reverends don't patronize my sa
loon I am not going to patronize
your churches. It is your business
to set the good example, and come"
first I keep open the entire sea
son. We dealers in spiritual things
ought to swap pulpits once in a
while. Suppose you stand behind
my bar next Sunday, and Til take'
your place in the pulpit, eh?" "
Texas Siftings.
Some one, a military scribe,'
doubtless, has started the report
that the Chiricahua outbreak was'
in consequence of a tiswin drunk;
for which they were afraid they
would be punished. The state
ment in regard to the "fear of
punishment" was made with a
view of exculpating Crook for his
want of vigilance. The knowledge
that they would leave was in pos
session of citizens weeks before"
the drunk occurred. Even the'
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
was told May 1st, by a citizen' of
Arizona then in Washington, that
