1t may be truthfully said that the greatest
of all blessings is health, for without it, it
is impossible to enjoy the life that God has
given us. A healthy stomach, a good di-
gestion, good conscience are requisites so
important i'll physical and moral point of
view to human happiness, that we presume
no one will question it. To all alike is
health essential for life's enjoyment and
pursuits; to young and old, to rich and poor,
to man and woman. Are yon in search OF
wealth? health is essential; do you desire
Office and worldly hours? of what avail
would these be without health? The beau
ties of spring, the song of Birds the deep
blue skies, all have poetic fascination with
the pure in mind and body; but what are
they without health? To say with the poet,
as one feels the throbs of healthful heart:

TUCscN, Nov g, 1869.
 NR, EDITOR Inquirer's article last week seems to have cauiod considerable sensation among certain parties One of the contractors for the Saaa6e mail has asserted, understand, in answer to question on the subject, that Sasase is in Arizona which assertion contra diets plain statement made by Inquirer l, for one, have some knooIedge of that locality and l hare the best Of reasons for believing that neither he oho made the assertion nor his partners will sustain it and further for be- AeyinE thai every s'Gtemeu: made by Inquirer can be fully su5s,sutiatsl. If certain parties be displaased tha; facts have been made pubic, or intereatad 10 conceal them, they reflect TO credit on their own motives by impuoning or malignng those of others No honest purpose can be eerved by making the public and the government the dupes of talsshood and hum~ bug-whirh they become il led to believe that there s anything Ike post office at Sasabs Flat or that the stage station there, supposed to be post office, is in Arizona To those who contend that there must be post office at Sasabe bec&use the department requires mail recordG to be kept at each terminus of he mail route, and because if such ara not kept there is re evidence of service having been parforInsi CT sEch route, it may simply be ansssr5i that a the station ct Sasabe is in Sonora it would seem as difficult to make hat terminus for United States mail route as to make such terminus st Altar or Hermo- iillo.
 As the contractors are likely to forfeit their claim for servies unless the department will cton the Sasabe hnmbug. there is . pro- ect for having free post office by having ono white man on the line as conductor, drive. aquon, or soto, and er-oGicio postmaster, ana 70 secure the contract mouy and, likely the next contract; as competitors though able and silling to perform the nail service, might not oe rich enough 10 keep their own post office, aor 10 be liksly to get sympathy or favor if hey should fail to ful6I their obligations.
 The present contractors speak quite sneer- ngIy of the amount allowed them by the United States government and exhibit heavy recount of losses sustained by running 8 four mule coach-which may be profitable for their 'assengors or msrchan1ise, but without which he Sasabe mail may be carried. They have 10 just cause to complain of the amount allow d for transporting this nail as the contract fas not forced spou them and would doubt- ess be fulfilled by some one else, for the same iggardly sum of$3oO per month shosld they trough the losses sustained deem 1t advisa ble ) effect it's transfer
