CLEAR AS MUD.

The wise man Of the Prescott
Miner, under the head of Yuma
county,a and commenting upon our
article on "Publie Buildings"
proposes to enlighten the SENTI-
MEL on the subject Of how much
the Territory has to its credit at
Washington for internal revenue
taxes collected from lis citizens.
1t says:
The SENTINEL "Walks into the
Governor for having admitted
that he did not know how much
internal revenue taxes collected
from the citizens of the Territory
wassto our credit ut Washington.
Well, it is an easy matter to learn
said amount, SO we will enlighten
the SENTINEL by informing it
that the Legislature of 1871 i0cat-
ell the site for the peniteEtiary,
at or near Phoenix, on Salt River;
a very good place, indeed"
A very clear argument, indeed.
Where the enlightenment"
comes in we can't see; it is rather
obscure. Try il again, Mr.. "Smart
Elick;'' but be sure you get your
figures right next time.

Texas and Pacific Company may
construct a line from San Diego

What this last section in the

important disclosures spoken Of by

sF We have been to many entertain
ments during the holidays, but we have
had no more enjoyment than at the an
nual tea meeting given by the ladies Of
the NJ. E. Church, on the Goth of Decem-
Der last. The supper was all that could
be expected Indeed, it is wonder how
so many good things can be got together
to crafty the fastidious taste of men and
women. The walters were pretty and la
dylike, and with their pleasant looks and
manners succeeded in making everybody
feel at home. The occasion was particu-
larly pleasant to us, for we were gradually
and almost imperceptably drawn into a
very interesting, and we hope profitable,
discussion with Rev. A. w. Cummings.
There is nothing we enjoy more than
healthy discussion. 1t is pity these
pleasant gatherings only occur once a
year. We are unable to state what the
receipts Of the evening were, bat VIC un-
derstand they were satisfactory.

beautiful production, and the reader did
full justice to her subject.
Mrs. Rangers essay on "The Descent of

we'll rendered. We propose to give it to
our readers at some future time.
A committee was then appointed, con-

summoned up sufficient courage to ask the
young men to leap year party, at the
house of William Williams. We under
stand it was very pleasant affair. though
the courage of the young ladies did not
last long enough. They paid the bills
however, and acted very prettily until it
was time to go home, when a part OF
them went alone. leaving the boys stand
