AT the Presbyterian Church rooms last Sunday morning, the Rev MT. Anderson preached & rather more than usually in- Iteresting sermon from the first part of the second verse Of the 53d chapter of Isaiah, -" For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as root out of dry ground" The minister considered "the
 root, the ground and the effect Of the root
 upon the ground" Christ Is likened else
 where to the vine; he Is not only the vine
 but the root whence the life, sap and vigor of the whole growth springs. The char acter of the surroundings Of the nativity and life Of the Savior bear witness to his extraneous production, and in the speak er's mind is an evidence of his divinity. The ground was verify dry ground. and Christ was a vigorous and life installing root In the desert, the presence Of a root stays and retains the shifting sands. The speaker cIcsed wi h an earnest exhorta- tion 10 his hearers to make sure that they were rooted and grounded in the great source Of all spiritual life.
 The singing bv the choir improves every Sunday. Before the service last Sabbath, a member of the choir sang the sa- cred air, "Fiee like bird." and 1t was beautifully rendered.
 There Ia evident disposition on the part of the choir to spare no pains in making the musical part Of the service attractive. Hereafter the bible-class will be held in the evening.

! o CIL MATTERS.

BoYs will be boys, and the only trouble Is that they will be awful rough boys af times. If there is any one thing more aggravating than another 10 the average street boy in Tucson, it is to see a poor Jackass unoccupied. As long as the jack will keep an unreasonably heavy load of wood on his back the boys will let him alone; but let the former dump his load of wood and stray down the street in quest of a stray bit Of hay or brown paper or broken glass or scrap iron or whatever may turn up in the shape Of lunch, and the street arab Is immediately after him for frolic. The otherday we saw ? small boys discussing one poor little jack. They had tied leather thong around his nee k and fastened the other end of the thong to a box on the ground in the rear. In this box and stopping over on the sides and holding back on the tail-end were about l5 Of the small boys; ranged along in pro- cession on the jacks back were some 9 more Of the small boys; perched on hls ears were 5 or s. b's., to each ear; hanging tO the jacks shaggy sides and tail were a score more S. b'a., and come to think of 1t there must have been over ? boys origin ally or else the returns are wrong some where. Anyhow, there they were thicker than office candidates yelling and kicking, and the only thing lacking was little spirit on the part of the jack. If he had known enough to turn his hind feet into returning boards and thrown out all the boys in thes box, and had then lain down tOrmenters, we should have been quite coutented.

Public NuIsances.

As we have been requested to pub fish in full that portion of the report of the late grand jury bearing upon public nuisanccs, we give the same
 herewith.
 The grand jury, through their cou- mittee, report: We have made care ful inspection of the various localities in the village of Tucson and find that there are still number of wells in open and vacants lots, which remain uncovered, and some that are so care lessly secured that they are nothing more or less than man-traps. We re- commend that the city authorities be ad- vised of this state of facts and Ot the importance of compelling the owners or claimants of these wells to at once fill them up or secure them so as ren- der them entirely safe to the public
 We further report that he ditch or canal passing along the western side of the village of Tucson is getting daily and hourly greater nuisance, and is now regular slime ditch of disease; much of the time it is allowed to remain. almost dry or void of run ming water, and the result is pools off stagnant water and the accumulation of rotten and decayed vegetable matter and soap-suds, rendering the vicinity unhealthy, and, together with the gen. eral filth which is thrown of by theI washing of clothes, &c., in the acequia, and lodges Tn the same, not only en- dangers the health of the whole village but is likely to be the cause of con- tagious diseases and pests. We there fore recommend that the washing off clothes should be confined to the lower part of the ditch, below the village, that the filth may not have to pass through inc whole length of the town, and that proper measures be taken to secure a sufficient quantity of run nIng water in said ditch, so as to carry off all debris and all rotten and decay ed vegetable and other matter, and that the ditch be cleaned at least oncel a month during the warm season. We also submit that nearly all thel bridges crossing the ditch are too low, and consequently all rubbish, filth, &c,, will De stopped running down the stream or lodged in front or under the bridges. and we recommend that the street or road commissioner raise the same or require the proper parties to do so.
 We further submit that as hot wealth CT is approaching, the precaution bel taken, on sanitary grounds, of requir- ing all private corrals to be cleaned once a week and the rubish removed to a reasonable distance from the settled part of the village.

Cabinet Gossip.

A Washington telegram of February 20, gives us the following:
 There is movement on foot here to secure a representation of the Pacific slope in Hayes Cabinet. It is claImed that the Secretary of the Interior should be taken from that section of the country, as the principal duties of the office relate to Indian affairs and to public lands, and that the large and growing region west of the Rocky Mountains may justly claim such re- presentation under the existing circum- stances. R. C. Mccormick, among others, is named in the connection. A gentleman who has more than ordin- ary facilities for judging of the subject
 makes up the following slate: Sec retary of State, Wm. Evarts of New York; Secretary of the Treasury, John Sherman of Ohio; Secretary of War, General Logan of Illinois: Sec retary of the Navy, Eugene Hale of Maine; Attorney-General, G. w. Me Creary of Iowa: Postmaster-General, John Hancock of Texas; Secretary of the Interior, R. c. Mccormick of the of the Pacific slope If J. Sherman does not taxe charge of the Treasury, it will be because he comes from the same State with the President. In that case it is thought the Secretary will be taken from Pennsylvania. Bristow, who it was supposed would be chosen for this position, prefers to fill the vacancy 10 be created by tine resigna- tion of Judge Davis in the Supreme Court. Hale is the son-in-law of z. Chandler.

DEPUTY POSTMASTER DRAKE lately re- ceived a large consignment Of postage stamps Of all denominations, and stamped letter and newspaper envelopes and will sell them st cost to close out the lot-that is, he will sell a one-cent stamp for one cent and two three-cent stamps for six cents. etc. But under no circumstances will he hereafter "sh8ke~ for the stamps. He says it's wrong and that he always loses. If you have any particular grudge against the P. M., you can derive considerable comfort by buying only one one-cent stamp at a time. If you could get up a club, say Of a dozen. and each one spend one dollar per day on the above plan, yOn could make 1t pretty lively for the postmaster. We only throw out the suggestion.

 W. F. Hamilton and P. F. Nougues have filed complaint in the Fourth District Court against E. w. Reagan to recover $1J,000 for alleged breach of contract. It is set forth in con- plaint that on the 2jth of November, 1876, an agreement was entered into between the parties, by which the plaintiffs were to proceed to the Silver King mine, Pinal county, Arizona, for the purpose of eXamiIIng 1t, and, if things were found satisfactory, they were 10 pay the defendant $300,000 for his one-half interest in the mine, and also another sum, 10 be agreed upon, for the interest of Charles G. Mason The plaintiffs made the examination accordingly, and had to visit the mine twice for the purpose, paying out large sums of money for travelling eX- penSes, fees of experts and assayers, maps, surveys and otherwise. As soon as possible they notified the defendant that they had completed the examina- ton and were satisfied with the mine. They then, in accordance with the agreement, demanded from the defend ant bond on the mine, but he refused to give it, and has eyer since Tepudiat- ed the contract In consequence of this refusal they claim that they have sustained damages to the extent men toned in the complaint.
