“THE ARIZONA KICKER. (Copyrighted 1892 by C. B, Lewts] Tue AMENDE HONORABLE —In our last issuc wo etated t Tom Jordon, proprietor of the Bald Kagle saloon, had to leave Montana for gouging one Bill White’s right eye out in a saloon row. Mr. Jordon called at the office next day and brought abundance of proof that we wore mistaken, It was not with Bill ‘White, but with Jim Davis, that he had arow, and it was not Davis’ right eye, but his left, which was left sparkling in the sawdust after the fight was over. Tt has always been the policy of The Kicker to stale facts and facts only. Being satisfied that we did Mr. Jordon an injustice in our statement, we hereby make the amendo honorable, as the Now York dailies call it. Mr Jordon not only subseribed to The Kickor, pay ing a yoar in advance, but his attractivo advertisernent will be found under the head of saloons on another page. d A BLu ~Mond morning, while his honor the mayor (who is oursell) was transacting official business in his room at the city hall, a Clinch Valley cowboy named Joo Scott sent in - word that ho was on the public square prepred to take and hold the town. In just thirteen seconds after receiving the messago, bis honor had buckled two revolvers about his wafst and was at the foot of the stairs. His prompt response to the defi rattled Scott, who put spurs to his mule and clattered out of town without firing ashot. I1is honor got two shots at the flying coward, one of which passed through his hat, but he got away un- hurt, and people who met him seven miles out suy that he was still on the gallop. The Clinch Valley chaps might as woll quit theirbluflingand knock under. They could scare the former mayor out of h(ys boots with one war whoop, but things have changed. The present mayor (who is ourself) doesn’t scare,anc. he is bound to run this town on the law and order principle if it necessitates adding ten more acres to the graveyard. It DIpN'T TAKE.~~When Prof. Went- worth Foster came to us ns the owner of the only hall in town and wanted to en- rago it to deliver his world renowned locture on “The Past and Future of Sgypt,” wo frankly told him that our Jeople would be disappointed. When 5 approached us as editor of The Kicker we told him the same thing. When he came to us as mayor for his license wo reiterated our former obser- vations, but he was self willed and ob- stina e. e got out his puper and went ahead. The boys crowded in the hall at u quarter o head, anticipating an exhi- bition of mummies and a_boxing match to wind up. Some oven figured, just as we had informed him they would, that he would pass around a bottle of budge 6,000 or 7,000 s old—something dug out from under one of the pyramid: ‘We do not know where the professor is located at this date. After the boys fiol through tossing him in a blanket he isappeared in the direction of Poko mountain, and perhaps he is still mov- ing. We would say to all others of his ilk, howevor, that this is a plain town, full of plain people- We like to hear of almost anything con- nected with the United States, from the discovery by Columbus to the investiga- tion by the pension department, but we don’t go o cent on anything over 500 years old happening in” a foreign coun- try. Wo haven't got any pyramids around here and don’t want any, and we run to the mule instead of the camel. CHANGED His MIND.—Our contempo- ryis out witha scare head article in- forming the public that Captain Bill Henderson had stopped his subscription to the Kicker bocause it did not satisfy him as u newspaper. Our contempora- ry is off his base as usual. We heard that the captain had said that he should do so, and wo spent half a day looking him up. He wasn’t flvo minutes in de- ctding to continue as a paying subscrib- er. Wedon’t deny that any one has a legal right to stop his copy of the Kick- or any time he so elects, but in every in- stance we shall look him up and demand an explanation. _ PASSING THE GATEMAN. There were gates to prevent passen- gors from gaining nccess to the trains until they had pagsed the ticket inspec- tors. and at one of them was a colored man who evidently realized the full dig- nity of his position. A lot of colored people were going down to Montgomery, and pretty soon an old darkey mado a move for the gate. “Stand back, sah—stand back!” uted the gateman. ‘What I stand back fur?” queried the old man. “‘Kase yo'r train hain’t dun ready to go yit!” “But T want to git frow.” *Yo' ean’t do it." *'Does yo' own disrailrode?” *No, sith; but 'z put at dis yere gato to be 'sponsible. Nobody kin puss till de train is dun ready.” **Yo's a powerful nigger, hain’s yo'?” sneercd the old man, *’Sposin de boss of de railrodo should dun come along? 1 reckon yo' wouldn't stop him.” *1f de president of dis line should dun cum along,” replied the gateman, as he drew himself up, *'I should say: **I'rain hain't in yiv.’ **But 'ze de president.’ *1Show yo'r tickot.’ **But I doan’t hev to.’ Don yo' must bo identified by sum- Why, Billy, doan’t yo' know me!

Pass on, sah—pass on,but doan’ let dis happen agin!’ “Dat’s what I'd say, ole man,” con- tinued the gateman,’as he waved his hand to the ancient relic, *“and now yo' kin see what u clus call yo' hev had in bucking up agin me! scuses yo' dis time kase yo' is ole and pore, but doan’ provocate any furder distinguished dis- satisfactions onless yo' wants heaps o' trubble!” baay ppTEI " L PETRIFIED PRICES. We were sitting on the tavern veraada after supper for & smoke, when an old darky with a crooked leg came along and took off his hat and said: *'Gem’len, I should like to ax yo' a low t‘uunhuul, please.” Being told o go ahead. he came up the steps, bowed and scraped, and ob- served: “'I lost my ole woman doorin de wah, a0 8he was buried on de gravel ridge ober yere 'bout two miles.

There was no feeling, He reached up and pulled his hair, It appeared loose at the roots and ready to “shed.” He looked around the room to see whether it was his back parlor or the man's next door.

What's the matter with the one you have on’ “Matter! Matter! Why the infernal thing has all climbed up around my neck!” “Well, half a dozen in the drawer, Mr. Bowser had grown pale, as ho stood up to say: “T hadn’t got a rod from tho house this morning when a button flew off my vest! I suppose I've got half a dozen vests in a drawer somewhere, haven’t I! Do you imagine that I married you to watch vour vest buttons!” demanded Mrs. Bowser. **W-what!

Nuisance!” he repeated, ns if he mistrusted his hearing, and his Knees growing so weank that he had to sit down. For half a minute the room seemed to whirl around with him. Then he pulled himselfl together and said: “*Mrs. Bowser, I do not want the gos- 8ip of a divorce suit, but it seems to me that'—— “If you are dissatisfied, you can file a bill tomorrow!” she interrupted, with an independent toss of her head.

His faco was as white as flour, and his hair was trying to stand up, and could only stare at her. he “There are soveral little things I want to speak to you about,” she con- tinued, as she rocked to and fro, You have no business poking your nose into the kitchen, foe instance, When I can’t oversee the help down there L'l give you due notice and let you try your hand. And I don’t want this kicking and fault finding about the meals, Wo buy enough and it is cooked well enough for any family in our circum- stances, If you don't agree with me, then ¥ u'd betttr go to some high toned hotel!” Was that Mrs. Bowser sitting boefore him—the wife who had sometimes darea to assert her opinion, but had always “kuouckled” when he reminded her that man was the superior being. “And another thing”—sho went on 1n a cold, eulm way which froze his blood ST want a certain sum sot aside for me each woek as a salary, As the case now stands I have to beg for every dollar 1 gel.

The redskin wus not advancing upen us, but heading 10 the northwest, dingonally away from us. He must have si ger lurked behind some of the bowlders, but there were 5o many that he had to take chances. He moved so slowly that I was presently prespiring and trembling under the strain. [ could ses no one following him, and that seemed to prc that he bad either volunteered a scout or that his companions had given upand he was pursuing us alone, gonded on by the hope that he might securo a sealp.

There wasn't the slightest movement—not a sound save the report of the rille. *He got it jist for’d of the ear, and never knew what hurt him,” whispered the guide. We waited a long five minutes to soo what might follow and then crept over to the spot. The wavrior lay flat on his stomach, with his chin on a rock and his arms stretehed out in front of him, just as he had used them to pull nimself along. He had clinched his fingers, but death had come so swiftly that he had not even straightened his legs.

Nuremberg's Famous Walls, The thousands of Americans who have visited the qumint old city of Nurem- berg, Germuny, will rogret to learn thut tho aldermen have decided to ro- move large portions of the famous walls with the turrets and towers surrounding the ancient town, Nuremberg, liko other cities of the fatherland, has grown rapidly since the Franco-Prussian war, and the picturesque walls, it is said, interfere materially with the street traffic. Yet many tradesmen and wealthy inhabitants of the place strongly opposo the plans of the aldermen, and have determined to prevent their ex- ecution, if possible: They rightly say that the old walls have been the chief attraction to the hosts of visitors to Nuremberg, and fear that their re- moval, even in part, will cause many truvelers to erase the city from the lists of places of interest in their itiner- arvies. All Germans have an interest in the walls of Nuremberg, as in no other German eity bave these relies of bygone days been preserved in their entirety, and people of all eountries will regrot their destruction, — e Boyd county has its re of veighborhood quarrels.

Wakeman, | kAcOW, Galicia, March 00.—[Special to Tur Ber.|—If odo could first sapproach Cracow from the nofth, filled with tho sen- timental romance of Polish beroio memories and have in mind “the Poland and Cracow of that time, whon GFacow was the residence of Polish sovereigis,'a view of the ancient city would be one of groat 1mpressive ness, At any distance, ftom this direction, the structural seoming is one of unimpaired splondor. Its mang” church spires, quaint and huge-poaked robfs, spacious palaces and dark old towers aré clastered 1n great pro- fusion around the Wavel Lock, on which stands tho castle of Zimek, the former royal palace of Poland, At its base the dragon of the cave, which noisome holo may still b seen, was killsd by Krak, the Cadmus of Poland. At the city’s southern sido can be seen the gleaming watcrs of the blue Vistula, which uimost encircies the olden town. The splendid Vistula valo strotehos fair and far beyond. And the southern horizon is a crrated edse of misty blue where, ovor against sunny Hungary, riso the peaks of wild Tatea and tho grand Carpatbian rango. But splendid as is this first sseming the ancient city of kings, eathedrals and uni- versities is now simply a gorgeous shell of stose, swarming with a population the mos miserablo and secminely hopeless human oves ever beheld, Tho city once held fron: 80,000 to 100,000 souls and was the commier cial as well as royal capital of Poland. Its desertion und degradation roached an appar- ent lowest ebb & quarter of a century sinco, Subsequently Austrian reforms, and the gen- eral improvement of the condition of the Galician Polish peasantry, and especially toe stimulating effcct of excellent development in agricultural and tne wineral and potrole- um fields of Galicia, reawalkened some of its old timo commereial activity. But this fell away again gradually becamo the commercial of Galicia. Then came anothor influx of population, but of so dolorous a sort that Cracow’s p it mereased bousing of hu- mans s certainly the most painfully and pathetically abuorrent in city is not morc than ten the Russiwa froutier, During all the un- speaknvly cruel persecutions of Iussian PPolish Jews which have indignantly thrill the civilized world during the past fow v Cracow has veceived aud succored a greater number of these hetpiess refugees than uny other siugle Buropoan o near is the city to tho Russian frontier weelk, nearly every day, wit- s processions of these outcasts given speed across tho bovder by the impetus ot threatened kuout lash, and tho oven more goading fear of aciual murder. [n 1564 1 saw with bursting and mutinous heart tho God-forsaken fotk of my own race as they were driven from Atlanta, wLile their homes were burned bebind them. But revoliing as nat brutal scens of so-called “*military sity,” it could not be compared with t1s of such common occurrenve here that it altracts no further comment or attention, Two great objects of interest will bo found before you euter the city. To the north is oue of ihe most gigantic embattled fortrassos 1n Europe. | Austria hus always cjajmed that this was for use as a frontier fortrass in the event of Russian hostilities. As nearly 1,000 spies in citizen’s clothing are said to e still in use in Cracow and the immediate vicinity, the Polisa peasantry prefer to beliovo it was built'and mauned for the purposes of awe and effectual subjugation. In any event it forms a threatening answeor toa still greater wonument to national feel- ing which may be found but three miles dis- tant upon tho eminence of Brownislawa. ‘This is the colossal Kosviusko mound. Ovor in Ireland the humble peasaatry, loyal in their memories for even legendary hero or saint, when passing the spot whero the bouy fell'or was interred, cast peboles upon the grave and murmer prayers for tho repose of the soul. A similar ustional Polish adoration of, tho brave and the good, has resulted in this wost curious memorial mound in Curistendo: ana is principally in sacks and barrow load: e toil from all the batdo ficlds famous in Polish history. Grim and tragic is the satire upon this od heart-built memorial, on the part of reientiess power. When it was nicely completed, the Austvians found it an ex- cellent pedestal for one of the huge detached forts with which they proceeded to surround Cracow in a five milé circle. Tho outer walls of the city itself are very interesting sad massive. They will remind you of iho tromendous walls of old Neuvomberg, down in Bavaria, They aro quite as hizh aud thick, but aro varied at in- tervals with surmounting towers, both square and round, of immouse thick- ness and great height with most picturesque minareited roofs. Tho gatewuys are quito as remarkablo as these gt Maita, und are given great udditional quaMe charm by their curi- ous old shrines, These are very ancient; in- deed 0 old that the curving of the florituro and images are almost wholly defaced. 1'rom this fact alone they seem to uttractthe great- st number of worshipers; and on many o casions | hiave been scarcelv able 1o pass be- neath these huge arckes owing to the crowd packed like panicky sheep upon their kuees against the shrines, Round about and within the old city at this senson of the year, just as the foliage is nning to show along tho banks of the Vistula and smong the gigantic trees of tno anciont promenades, & casual glanco mves the impression of serenity and eéven bright- ness, One feels as though quiot and saustic content must reign within and without. But onco inside tho mussive gatewnys, the heart sickens at what the eyes continually benold. Soldiars are cyerywhere. Gay “in U rich trappings they spurn their fellow civ ians as though thoy were beasts. Wero | one of those human animals boneath them I would surely answer their insults with dy- namito or melanite; and one bas ouly to move avbout these streets un hour to uanderstand and condone the awful revenges the goaded humans of some of these old-world hives are taking upon their oppressors. No Polish Jowly woman can walk tho streets without beastly insult. No Jewish maiden is safe in ber own doorwiy from those uniformed juck- als, | have witiessed outrages by the Aus trian military without number 00 unspeak- ably horrible to bo put in print. They are so Common, thelr vict/ms are 5o helpless, the slavishness of their powerlessness is so less for change, or attention, or jus their sormentors have even ceased to smile at their own devilish ingeauity of outrage. Somo of these things caunot bo repeated. Here are s few instances of simplo brutality out of scores I have wyself witnessed in Cracow. A landlorg, offended by the awk- wardness of a Polish servaut, struck bim in the face with 3 carying steel, breaking all his frout teeth. The guests laughed aloud and the victim was' directed 10 wash tho blood from his mouth aud coatinue serving the table.

The treatment of the Polish Jews i» in- describably dreadful. Truiy u majority of these here form a loathsone lot. But ihey are victims of misfortune, No Jew is by nature slothful or vile. All Jews are active, patient, vigorous and brave in all things tending to self sustenance. Thoso of Cracow are muinly helpless victims of Kussian per- secution. So many have made their ways into all avenues of business that by very forco of numbers and desperation of situi- tion they swarm like wolves around every opportunity of the shightest gain. But thou- sands upon thousands exist in a condition of h awful want, siarvation and misery. that it would seem 1n any place where a God was owned, some touch of human consideration and pity might tind expression. You can not find it in Cracow. They are beaten from pefore soldiers and officials witn staves. Po- lice disperso bogging crowds with swo:ds, striking rignt and loft aud wounding pro- miscously. Those of gentlo () blood seam to have ac- quired the right to avenge all Poland’s national wrongs on these luckless humans. I huve seen little givls.not yetin their teens strike thom apparently as mere diversion, he aristocracy from highest to lowest con- sider it no crime,to chastise them opanly and unresentedly on any protext of offence. The very next morning after my arrival here, I saw a half naked Jewish child being carried along with a broken leg dangling from its body. It had amused some lordlmng or ofticial in a carriagn before which the little one had begged, to ride over 1t. 1 had some respect for Polish character, gained, 1 wiil admit, from Polish history, before I came to Cracow. ‘Whatever the Polish aristocracy have been in the past, they are brutes beyond the limits of han ngunge, to roveal iu their treatment of inferiors and cspecially of these Jewish wretches of isfortuno and misery. And for my part T can see noaltar, or shrire, or crucifix or vicar of God in this ancient city without loathine emblem, placo and priest where such inhuman hearts can worse than murder and adore. My guide through the gnastly shell of a cvilized city was secured through incident of iniquitous brutality, trifling indeea for Carcow, but stili_ illustrative of its genial and kindly atmosphere. 1 had truly been un- bearablely pestered by a horde of Jows {rom mousy changers down to the most repulsive of beggars, ana fiually conceived the plan of arraying myself iu thé most Polish and least expenvive of attire, It proved o successful device, In this rai- ment | had visited the ‘Uatra mountains, and bad returned to Cracow so torn by brushwood and vespattered by mud of the highways that I was freo to enjoy the city from the nether side of aspect. It was & relief, oo, from strain upon voth temper und purse. In this habilament and attitude | was standing bofore a baker's window iuterested in an odd form of bread whizh is fashioned and baked in un excelient imitation of a crown of thor used during the Lonten period in Auothier slill more dolorous object than myself stood before tho window. 1t was a Polish Jew, ragged, astod, wan and old. I have seen ionging and huoger on as many faces as has any other oue who lives; but'l never before saw both s0 pathietic aud terrible as in this one white face. AU this moment & bovy of soliiers clanked by. Both mysell ana the uncient Jow stood AL tho edge of the pavement, quite out of their lordly way. Something in the old mau’s faco auti Lhe soldiers’ attention as well as my own. Some turned, glanced and cursed, One said with an outh: “He will draw the loaves the window through wilh that nose ! “1f tho loaf (crown of thorus) was his bolly therein, it should cut with blood his paunch through,” sucered another, “:Ach, Gott!” shouted the bravest of them all, as ho spraog to the old maw's sido 1 o seeming frenzy of rage. 1 feired ho would strige bim down, Bu® bo did not. | spat io his face and called bim a ow ¢ Siarth-rott? and names beastlier stili. ‘’hen they turned ard went merrily away. And it 18 true that this poor old man, for fear of his lifo as to afterwards told mo, caro nov attempt to remove the froth fouluess from s face until these Christian soldiery had turgea into the marketplace. But I had done it for him bofore that. 1 then led him iuto the baker's, and thon iuto a cafe, and tnen into o wine shop, and Christian money never dia quicker or more direct missionary work than on that morning when, God kuows, for tbe first and only time in my life I longod to be a Rothschild, “I'is poor stranded old humau had becn & Jowlish teacber in a not ote Russian villago, and had been kuouted out of his home by Cossacks, his feeble wife poristing in the flight from fright aud fatigue. He bud got as far as Cracow. That, as with thousands upon thousands more, was 1o be bis living grave under conditions of misery and outrage more awful than those which once made infamwous the name of religion 1a Madrid, Neuremberg or balem--unless the little 1 spared him could get um to kinfolk in Berlio. He showed me tho appaling scenes among tue Jews 1 Casimierz, the Jowish quarter. ‘I hen, scholar that be was, he 10ld me one by one the legends gray and dun of the crumb ling Zomes; pointed out the solid silver shrine of St. Stauisiaus with its subporting angels. the Flomish brosses above the towb K.C of the cardinal-bishop, son of Casimir, king | of Poland, and all the'graven_ treasures aud wonders of the sixteen chapels in the great cathedral; led the way to the university with its statue of Corpernicus, who was onco professor there, ana brought me to tho schatzkammer to view the Polish regalia and tho anzzling mass robes of old. But the human grave yard stifies mo. The white face of this one 0ld man_ stands botweon mo ana Poland’s ancient aity of kings, shutting out all else buu the unspeakable miseries of his kine. And I leave Cracow with a sick and beavy heart. 1nGAR L. WAKEMAN. Distingul d Book Canvassers.
