'luese are the first patents in Arizona.
That Tkleorafh Li.se. The Daily San
Diego Union quotes a recent Mi.vtH article
on tbc building ol the proposed telegraph
line from its town to points in this Territory,
wherein we said that Gen. Duna, chief quar
termaster of the military department of
Arizona, bad figured up cost and arrived at
the conclusion that the $50,000 appropri
ated by Government would not do more, eten
with the labor of enlisted men, tuan build
and equip a line from Prescott to Tucson, a
distance of about 2W3 miles.
Soon after quoting this article, Mr. Cole
man, formerly clerk to Gen. Dana, informed
the Union that wo were mistaken, in that
Gen. Dana's minutes included the whole line
from San Diego to Maricopa Wells, Prescott
and Tucson. If we were mistaken, we were
led into said mistake by pretty good author
ity. At that date tho VVefttern Union Tele
graph Company had not proposed to con
struct thu line, with the surplus jhjIcs, wire,
ifcc., they had on bund, a fact which leads us
U stick to our former statement until we
have better proof that our informant led us
into error.
But that is neither here nor there. Our
greatest hope is that the entire line will soon
bo completed, so that toe Minur will be en
abled to give its readers the latest and fresh
est news.
Curuejjcy. Wo have experienced delight
while reading the arguments of leading Call
fornia papers, favoring the adoption of the
National curn-ncy by their State. Our deal
ings aro almost exclusively with California;
our money is mostly currency and v. l.
checks, and, when we send them to Califor
nia in payment of debts, or to purchase
goods, we cannot Imagine now badly they
will be sbaveu in the process ol straighten
ing them to a gold standard. Gold coin is a
good thing to have, but it is scarce and not
suited to our wants. Neither is it very plcn
tiful in Californis. With these facts in view,
wo hope for the success of those who aro
clamoring for tho adoption of paper currency
The Government of the United States
would do a good thing for its citizens if it
would throw overboard the check business
and nay its just dues in greenbacks. The
issuance of checks here places money in the
hands of a lew to the injury or the Jcrritory
and the mass of its citizens. If wo cannot
have a U. S. Depository in Northern Arizona,
Government can and should disburse the
greenbacks.
Our delegato In Congress must not forget
to urge upon Government tho necessity of
giving the pcoplo of this Territory better
mail facilities. Business, etc., demand the
placing of dally mail scrvico upon the south
crn or Uila route; and upon ono or more
routes in Northern Arizona. Then, that
Albunuerquo link is still misting. To
strengthen tho delegato for this action, his
constituents here should lend a helping band

Just before starting for the States, Secre
tary Bashford appointed Mr. J. L. Harris as

Some 50 or CO copies of the printed acts of
tho sovenih legislature had arrived from the

county recorders, for distribution among
county and other ollicials. Tho remaining
copies will shortly arrive in the Territory.
Several persons had started for Sonora,
Mexico, with the view of purchasing cattle
and sheep with which to start stock ranches
around Tucson.
The Citizen condemns, In plain language,
the recent act of Government, in withdraw
ing live companies of cavalry from the Ter
ritory. Another article is laden with praise of Gen.
Crook, for what that ollicer has already done.
uiid the hope is indulged that, with proper
aid from Government, he (Crook) will settle,
forever, the question of peace or war with the
Apaciies.

The paper chronicles a horso race near San

several sidt-tcU, many of which were made
by "ladies," who, having no bottom dollars,
bet their car-ring3 and other ornaments upon
the result.
Several persons had arrived from Colorado
and elxcwhcre.
Gov. Safford, (acting for Secretary Bash
ford), announced his readiness to pay mem
bers of legislature their back pay, just as
soon as eaid members could sign and return
certain pay rolls.
IIiohlt Important Reuse The Com
missioner of Pensions recently announced
the following highly important ruling:
"Section of the Act of March 3. 1873, provide
for no addition to the two dollars Increase of pen
sion In and cne; It It a consolidation of Sctlou 2
olthe Act of JutySS, WA, and S-etlon 4 nd Oof
I be act of JulyS, XbOi, wltu an amendment of the
former sections, so at to (rive Ibe same Increase to
the widow of a soldier or sailor for ttie children
by a former wile as for the children by herself,
and to the widow of an officer aa hcM as a soldier
and sailor. It also givn an lncre.uo to all cbll
dren under 1G years of age, of officers a welt at
soldiers and sailors, Instead of all but one, where
there I no widow, or where she has died or re
married. In other rctpecu It embodies the pro
visions of the three sections named.
An Exploring Partt. Eastern papers
state that Lieutenant George 31. Wheeler
has a large party fitted out, and will start
from Santa Ft, Nrw Mexico, about the fifth
of June, on an exploring trip through a por
tion of New Mexico, Northern Arizona,
Ltan and, pcrnsps, Nevada.
Lieutenant v heeler is well known as a
thorough, scientific explorer, w hose discov
eries in this section of the country, in previ
ous years, have been of great service to us
and all tho people of the Republic
As ae will, in all probability, Vint that
section of our Territory where, it is snid,
precious stones exist, his "findings," this
trip, will be looked for with much interest.
Vert few people who stay at home have
an adequate idea of the services of mail con
tractors, stage drivers and others, through
whose agency they receive their letters and
jiapcrs. The tasks of carrying the mails
in this Territory and across the California
deert arc very hard ones, as. any one who
takes a trip in a mail wagon will soon learn.
We, therefore, feel good to thoso public ser
vants who suffer innumerable hardships, by
night and by day, while carrying thu news
tc so many "Hirams."

Overland Magazine. The May number
of this magazine has been received from the
publishers, J. II. Carmany & Co., San Fran
cisco, Cal. Various causes have prevented
us from going through its pages, but we take
tho assertions or our contemporaries as proof
that it is an excellent number. It is for
sale at tbc bookstore of Kelly & Stephens,
uurley street.
Tbc pojtofllcc at St. Louis, says the Republican.
changed hands yesterday; so we sec the reward
ol service. A tried soldier who fought for the
Union, and louutil sucersslully. Is displaced by a
clvllllun. In the custom house, however, we tlnd
a gentleman retained who, during the war, de
voted tho powers of his great mind to the produc
tion of army shoes with glne soles, and like use
ful luduslrle.. Moral army contracting Is better
rewarded tuan nghting.
Very wrong, indeed, but as ci-Unlon sol
dicrs have been devoting moro of their time
and attention to pitching into some cx-"reb
el," who baa lccn forced into somo $12 a
year po-tofllce. than to attacking stay-at-
home, money getting politicians and ex-nrmy
hangers-on, we don't see that tho Republican
ought to fish for bait in tho purely Radical
pond.
Mothers. Napoleon after having observed to
Alndameuirapan, mat tueoia system ol nnuuren s
cducatlou was bad, inquired what she considered
wanting to make It good. "Mothers," was the re
ply. As women are the teachers, wo must have
good mothers. If we would secure good teachers
With them rests the tuition of tho heart, so much
more Important than that of the head. Something
precedes Intelligence: and It has been well ob
served by the authoress ol a deservedly popular
work, that the earliest smllo which rcspoudt to
the maternal caress. Is the first lesson In affection.
Mothers were meant by nature to Inspire virtue,
even when they do not directly desire to teach It,
and they will rarely go wrong when they follow
their parental Impulses.
From what littlo experience wo have had
with mothers, it strikes us that the chip who
collected the foregoing although not him
self a mother had a mother, and a good one,
too.

they left. One of these, known by the name

Henry Nool, a native of II esse Castle and

Ilia plat of the surveyed land of the
Southern District of Arizona, in coming from
the Surveyor-General to the land-oflico at
Flnrtncc, was lost between that place and
Wictcnburg. It apjwars that, nt Widen
burg, instead of teeing put in the mail-bag, it
was placed on the buckboarti and, perhaps,
dropped off. To tho finder it is worthless;
to the land office it is invaluable. M. L.

that he will be prepared tc transact business

ST A YEAR.
Going Through tho Ryo.
A bloe June sky bent o'er the world,
The summer liil were blowing,
And cool cloud-sAndows crept across
The meadows ripe for mowing,
When, from a tiazy thicket green,
A minstrel pif.d, blmnell unseen,
And, from the happy songster's throat,
(Sushed one uivar)lng, liquid sou:
bob-o-llnk, ollnk.o-llnii.um,
liobo-lliik.
My life war mirrored In the day,
As calm as summer ocean,
Nor helgkt nor depth gave one false shads,
Nor oif discordant motion,
As, hlytle ol thought and feeling, I
Went tkrougb the waving Held ot rye,
Wher'j might the coming singer be.
Who mg with such unbounded glo
Bob- lltik, o-tlnk, o-llnk-um,
liob-o link.
FqM soon I spied blm where be sst
.Upon it lealy cherry ;
J) wild bop played bo-peep, bo-pep ;
Was ever wight so merry?
Two blackbirds chattered on a limb,
And cast lour curious eyes at blm,
The wild clematis drooped her head ;
"I'll die for love,"wns all she said.
With noiseless step I crept anlgh;
AIkivc me flowed the rippling rye;
While high and clear my charmer trilled,
And atl the listening Juue air tilled
With bob o-llnk, o-llnk, o-llnk-um,
Iiob-o-lluk.
In airy ecstacy he swunc;,
A. Unlit K nUJT fcl!jtf,
For he was drunk for very Joy
Ol song and summer weather.
According with bis joyous strain,
Tli sootb wind breathed a low refrain,
Bobbed to tweet death and sighed galn.
Down the horizon's crv.u! wall
The fabled river srerned to fall
That river of the gods some call.
Clood-navlei, with white sails nn faded,
Anchored above the silent world,
Costing long shadows on the grass
Through which the trembling winds did pus.
From hazel-nook to catbirds' croon
Kept rhythmic cadence to the tons
Of morning sweeping on to noon.
A smiling goddess, rose In hand,
At summer's open door did stand,
And clover-scented all tbe land;
While clear nnd high my charmer trilled,
And all the listening June air tilled
With bob-o llnk, o-IInk, o-Ilnk-um,
Bob-o-llnk.
0 summer deeps brimful of peace!
O wealth of summer beaoty I
1 drained your chalice long ago,
And fonnd that cold word, Duty
So bard to learn, so tweet to know ;
Tet, looking o'er that long ago,
On soma t ucb lonesome day as tblt,
'Twould gle me hack unstinted bliss
To see again that rustling rye.
Beneath another matchless sky.
And heAr again, from care-free throat,
Tbe daw nfal gladness of that note :
