THE ARIZONA KICKER.
A lUuiuar of rolut Whloh th EhI Cm
Hal Duplloata.
W extract th following from tin ImI
lulu of tht Arizona Kicker:
Dim't Kxow it wai Loaded. Smith
A Davis' minstrels wart billed for an
entertainment at Moniexuma Hull last
Friday night, but It didn't com off.
Instead of that tba whole gang Hipped
ell. They cams bar with th avowed
Intention of doing business without the
Id of the Kb Iter. None of thorn called
at the ofllce and they bad no courtesies
to extend. We advised tbe poople to
taj awaj. On Friday morning, sovon
members of the gang entered our ofllo
to domand satisfaction. They didn't
know It was loaded. It waa, however,
and when it went off lotne of tbe bird'
hot got In on each nd every one of the
rang, and we bad to tap on or th end
men with an ax-bolve In addition. W
baven't any one In this town who make
a specialty of digging load out of th
human system, and at noon thny started
for Tombstone to give a man there I
week'i job. UU jnrkdl which In Moxl
can for saying: "The Kicker la always
loaded."
Wi Torn Yon Ho. SI weeks ago
in an named Scott opened a grocery store
en Comanche street, and when we casu
ally dropped in and niontlonnd th fact
that the Kicker win the best advertising
medium In the West, bo didn't nthus.
We kmiw thero was something wrong
about blin, and w sent bis description
to tho sixty-four sheriffs and chlofs of
polloo who are constantly In corn muni'
eatlon with us. Last Thursday, Just
Iter w bad gon to press, dotectlv
arrived from lioulsvlllesnd collared Mr.
Hoott, who Is a defaulting county treas
urer, lie ban left us, and w bought th
tuck of groceries at about twonty-twe
cents on th dollar. Had Mr. Scott ad
vertised be would doubtless bav built
up a large and profltabl business; bat
b took wrong view of It and will
probably go to Slate prison for fifteen or
twenty years.
Poo a Ot.t PaijtI W never refer to
our contemporary down th struct If we
oan avoid It. In th first plao be hasn't
got enough brains or ofllce to deserv
th title, and in the next he la a poor,
palsied old man who Is gradually dying
of envy and starvation, and w shall
have to foot bis burial expense whon
be dooa go. The other week we men
tioned our private graveyard and its Ave
occupant. This so excited the jealousy
of the old rello of th seventeenth cen
tury that b borrowed a rvol ver and took
trip around town yesterday In search of
blood. He finally found on of Colonol
MoCrankeu's Digger Indians aaloep In
th aun and opened fir on him from a
distance of four feet lie didn't even
wake th redskin up, and Judge Tall
man, who objected to to much nols
round bit hoiiso, went out and drove
poor old palsy away with broom.
Ws are sorry for hi in. They say h
cried wbllo going back to bis ono-hors
alleged newnpspor, and no wonder. II
should never hav com West. II
oarae, as we ascertained, to evade ar
rest for bigamy, but b should hav
taken aom othor route. When natur
fit a man to raU hollyhocks In New
Jersey, h has no business coming west
to try to rain that oilier product.
Not His Fapi.t. A nmmher of our
townspeople hav expressed the hop
that wa would pitch Into Dr. Htughorn,
the popular druggist, for killing old
man Nlew by putting up trsnnlo for qui
nine in a prescription. We shall do
nothing of the sort Th doctor ha not
only increased his advertising one-half
this week, but has subscribed for flv
copies of th Th Kicker to send away.
While this of course does not Influence
a in th lit, we know from personal
observation that th doctor is a very
busy nisn, and that th room in hit
tor la limited. He ho no choice but
to keep many different sort of powders
In the same drawer and It is only to be
expected that mistake should htppon
bow and then.
Furthermore, who was old Blow, any
bow? A ly, dissipated vagabond,
whom the boys would bav hung in th
course of a few week at best In foot
ing bis funeral expenses th doctor
bos ahown himself vary liberal and fair
minded, and be hat shown himself In
various ways that bt belongs to that
olass wantod In this town to build It up.

Cnnaiiruers of Stone.
Prof. Tetmajer, of Zurich, one of th
irreatost living authorltle on auch ub-
JeoU, made rei-ently an investigation
of th decay of stone 1
build! nj. and the best wean of pre-
I venting IL Many of our readers WU7
remomlier VIollet-le-Due' atrlklng" ob
! serration in regard to th same matter,
Jeducmd from an immense experience,
and Prof. Tetmajer' conclusions agree
enUroly with his. According to both,
the freezing of water In the pores ol
stone Is the principal causo of lu disin
tegration. Even the chomleal effect of
tho air In largo cities, due, it is sup
point, to the sulphurous acid contained
in It, probably act through the rain
water, by which tho add is washed out
of tbe air. and carried to the ttono, so
that anv thing that will prevent tho ao-
cumulation of water in the pores is
likely to diminish chemical action, a
well as risk from frost Contrary to the
common Idea, tho most porous stones
aro. If properly used, not necessarily
most subject to disintegration. If tha
water fulling on tho stone has a chance
to escape freely, frost will not injure It,
but if the movement of the water in tba
nores Is checked, so that it accumu
lates anywhero, tho frooning of ibis
accumulation will gradually destroy
event strong stone. Proofs of this may
be found In nearly all buildings faood
with sand or llmestono. If tho base, or
water-table, or even a bolt at any
height is of harder stone, tho freestone
just above it will bo found to disinte
grate after a fow years, owing to the
chocking of tho downward movemontol
the water In tho poros. So, on the under
side of a projecting moulding, or bal
cony, where the water accumulates by
gravitation, but it prevented by capil
lary attraction from dropping off, flakes
of stone will soon be observed to sepa
rate and fail; and soft stone near the
ground, whoro moisture drawn up from
the earth by capillary attraction, Joined
with tbe double effect of the rain, and
the spattering of rain-water from the
ground, keep it particularly moist, soon
purlahes. Tho decay ot stone shows it
self In two ways. With stratified stone,
tho frost dislodges flakes and plates, by
working In tho natural seams, but with
a massive, homogenous stone, the effoot
of freezing is to dissever the particles
of sand, or tbe crystals of carbonate of
lime, so that, although the stone may
tor long time bold together nearly in
its original shape, the rubbing of the
hand will dislodgo a shower of sand, and
the profiles and arrifes Insensibly lose
their Bbarpness.
The cure for this Is, In the first place,
to treat the stone with skill. A soft
ston, If laid above t hard course, should
bo protected from the rain, so that no
water will descend through its pores, to
be cheoked by the bard layer; tho lower
courses of buildings should bo of as bard
and impervious material as possiblo.
and vertical joints should lie packed
bard with cement and jointed, as imper
fect joints collect much water, which
soaks afterwards into the stones on each
side; and all projecting courses should
have a drip, which will collect tho water
in tho stone and enable It to drop oh.
In cases where nothing better can be
done, the old process of Eaiire A Kessler,
now of Clermont-Ferrand, in France, by
which the stone is Impregnated with
fluosillcatos of various substances, ao
cordlng to the character of the stone to be
treated, is the only ono which has proved
Itself successful. Something might be
done, perhaps, with lime-water, and it
is curious that where base-moulding
baa b gun to decay, the portions under
the vertical joints of tho course of stone
Immediately above, from which small
quantities of dissolved lime have proba
bly washed down on tbe moulding be
neath, are preserved, while the inter
mediate portions are disintegrated; but
this application has not been studied to
successful result. In the case of stone
not built into a wall, It is often found
that while damp with quarry-sap, or
soaked with rain-water, a sudden frost
will split tho blocks into fragments, and
this must be provided against by keep
ing tbe stone dry; but Prof. Tetmajer
and his assistants report that they have
never known a stone to burst with frost
after it was built into wall. American
Architect
The rirst Hawing Maohlna.
Ellas Howe, tbe inventor of the sew
ing machine, was born In Spencer, Mass.,
July 9, 1819. His father was a farmer
and miller, and Ellas, remained at home,
assisting him, till 1835, when he went
to Low-ell and found employment in t
factory, afterward working in a machine
shop at Boston. There he developed
bis idea of tbe sowing machine. His
first machine, was completed in May,
1845, and he secured his patent Septem
ber 10, 1840. Ho made four machines,
but received so ilttle encouragement for
them that he went to England, where
be struggled with ooverty for two years,
lie then returned to America, to find
that others hod appropriated his idea.
For more than fivo years ho was con
stantly engaged in lawsuits, but finally
secured his right to priority of inven
tion, and other manufacturers of sewing
machines paid him a royalty on their
patent lie now amassed a large for
tune, estimated Si.OOO.ooo from the
sale of his machines. He died in Brook
lyn, New York, October 8, 187.-
