The following is fr?m the Arizona Kicker:—All our readers will bear witness to the fact that we have exercised the greatest patience in bearing the slurs and taunts of our esteemed weokly con« temporary. On three different occasions ,re have been perfectly justified in killing him, but we restrained om hand because we knew he owed his two com* positors money, whioh they would Jose if he went underground. We long ago decided to pay no further attention to him, no matter what he said; but there was an item or two in his last issue which calls for a word ot explanation or two from us. Our lop-eared, lopshouldered, knock-kneed, slab-aided, ram-shacle, bald-headed, povertystricken, cross-eyed, web-footed, toothless old contemporary, with an average circulation of 217 copies weekly against our tens of thousands (see our sworn statements), says that we were'eow-htded in our own sanctum three days ago by a lady named Miss Green, who is a musicteacher lately arrived from Indiana.' His statement is an insult to a young, beautiful, and accomplished lady, who was at once accorded the ot.tray of the best society in the town, and who came here with the highest recommendation from respectable people. Miss Green called at the Kicker office on the most peaceful intentions. She simply and sweetly desired us to publish one of her original poems, entitled 'When the Hen's E*g Nest Again,' and we were thrice glad to do so. It appears jn our third page today, and we feel that we cannot say too much in praise pt it. Thus we confound, paralyse, upset, brtak in tjvo, and knock out the human hyena, whose spiteful squl wpuj'l olacken our private character before this community, and with it the fair reputation of an angel in female clothe. Words fail to express onr contempt for this inhuman monster, but no advances will be made in our advertising rates.
