Surveyor-General of Arizona, had the kindness to take us through his office and show us everything pertaining thereto. We were struck with the systematic order pervading everything. His of flee is a model of official order. He has system of books, estab- lished by himself, in which all the receipts and disbursements of the office are entered monthly, quarterly and yearly, and sum- med up so plainly that ''he who runs may read" One of the most pleasant things connected with the matter is the fact that the books show that MT. WasSOn has never oUerdraWn the amount ap- propriated by Congress for his of flee, but in every case has under drawn. In fact in some cases the books show at the end of the year $1700 unexpended, which was re- turned to the U. $. Treasury. Such a showing, is certainly very cre- ditable.

An Episode in Tucson.

It is hardly worth relating, but as illustrating the truth of the old adage that "there is black sheep in every fiock," and of course in every town, we give it. Walk ing along Main street, Tucson, the other day, in company with an old friend, and passing a store, our friend said "come in, I want to introduce you to the proprietor of this establishment" Of course we went in, when our eyes met a pudding-headed individual and our friend said "Mr z. let me in- troduce you to Judge Berry," z. and .ourself shook hands and our friend continued, "the editor ofthe ARIZONA SENTINEL" Old pud.

ding-head seemed struck aghast with some terrible recollection.
 and rolled up his eyes like an ex- piring calf To relieve the evil
 dent embarrassment, we said,
 "you have a fine store." No re- sponse. Again we remarked,
 "You have a fine stock of goods" still no response. Once more we
 ventured, ''Is business pretty live
 ly ?" Still the old nincompoop
 stood silent, and thinking that we
 had fully done our part in civility,
 we quietly walked out of the store, when the old cuss called our friend back and sad to him,
 "Mein Gott {! what for you bring dot man in here ? Dot ish de man dat abused me for imbording mine sheep goOts in de mail pags."
 Yes, that's @ fact. We did give him thunder, and with the aid of that excellent journal, the Citizen, we succeeded in getting;a circular issued by the Postmaster General, ordering all such freight left be- hind, when it interfered with or impeded the transmission of the mails. We have elsewhere spok- en of the kind, generous and hos pitable treatment which we met with in Tucson. The above re- lated episode, if it can be called one, was the only incident of an nature that occurred during our stay of six days in Tuc- son, and our round trip of six hundred miles It was deeply re- gretted by our good friends of that hospitable town, who assured us that the miserable scalliwag re- ferred to, has not the respect of good people.

 It seems SuperfiOus to comment on the foregoing, either as regards the donors named or the eXertions of the public spirited lady by whose instrumentality they be- came patrons of our Public School. There is really more of a variety of useful and needful articles in the gifts named, than is express ed in Mrs. Lords letter. The whole business has been conduct ed so quietly that more than or. dinary pleasure is excited, and this the handsome letter of the School Trustees clearly shows; and THE CITIZEN join heartily in the proper expressions of thanks and gratefulness of the school of- ficers to all the benefactors.
 We happened to be in Tucson at the time, and at the hour of midnight, at the moment when the New Year made it's bow to the world, the bell above spoken of pealed forth it's joyful notes.
 All honor to all concerned, and particularly to the accomplished and generous lady, through whose instrumentality the magnificent gift of bell, organ and globe, has been made to the Tucson Public SchOOl.-[ED. SENTINEL.

The Public School Festival on
 Christmas Eve.

The notice of this pleasant af- fair, in our last, was written by our foreman and was in type be- fore our return from Tucson. We consider it very good, but if it is not too late we would like to say a few words about it ourself. On that evening after our form was made up and the proof sheet talk en, ready to go to press,at 2 o'clock in the morning, we attended that festival, but of course could not report it in that issue. The next day we started for Tucson. What we wish to say is that we never saw anything of the kind more complete, satisfactory and success ful. Great credit is.due to all con- cerned, particularly the ladies, headed by the excellent teacher, Miss Post, who worked with un- tiring hands in all the elaborate preparations. The Courtroom was beautifully festooned with evergreens. @ fine arch and stage were erected, and running along one side of the hall in large letters composed of green branches, were those hallOWed words "Peace on earth and good will to men," The hall was densly crowded and hundreds had to 20 away. The whole scene was civilization, in it's brightest aspect. The presents were very numerous and many of them beautiful, and the beaming happy faces of the children made children of larger growth feel happy. Old Santa Claus perform ed his duties in very happy manner. Although one of our most prominent citizens, he was so completely disguised that no one not in the secret could tell who he was. Some of the know ing ones guessed that he must be our worthy Mayor, just because they couldn't see that gentleman anywhere else. The entertain ment was greatly enjoyed by all and was enlivened by excellent music by the voice and organ. When another Christmas rolls around may we all be there to witness another such a happy scene.
