Changes m Staging. &c.

The advance of the railway has shortened stage lines, but increased their number Picacho station, fifty odd miles from Tucson, is now the point of divergence of Messrs. Kerens & Griffith's stages from the end of the track at Casa Grande, for Florence and Tucson. The Tucson railway and Florence passengers leave here and go together to Picacho station, where a 4-horSe stage of the same kind as on the main line, is waiting to receive and carry those Florence bound to destination. When the train is on time, this connection is close from both directions. This route makes a few miles more travel for the Florence people to Casa Grande, but on the other hand it would work hardship to more travellers from Tucson to Flor ence, if they had to travel via Casa Grande. MT. Griffith has given this matter his personal attention, and is convinced the existing arrangement iS the best that can be made, as il would involve absolute loss to run line direct to Florence from Casa G-ande and also one from Picacho: then as il will be but a few months until the permanent Florence railway and stage station will be established at PicachO, it would not pay to break a road over new ground on a direct line.
 From the time stages first run in Arizona, they did so along the Gila bottom at nearly all points from Yuma to Florence; they now only cross the valley at MaricOpa Wells and Flor ence. This abandonment of the old familiar route by stages and freight teams, is welcome to those who desire to see the general comfort and welfare of the whole Territory advanced, but there is no disguising the fact that the change is at present rough on the set tiers along the river. It cuts them of from regular communication; but they will doubtless soon adjust themselves to the new order of things and be glad they are within hearing of the loco motive whistle and but a few miles from the best known facilities for travel and freighting.

PROF. E. T. Cox, late State GeolOgiSt of Indiana, some time since resigned his position at Indianapolis in order to remove to the Pacific slope to take part in the great mining operations that are now being inaugurated i'll Arizona. The Professor has started on his journey thither and has been stopping a few days in Chicago, visit ing his friends in that city. He will probably stop a few days in San Fran cisco and theE go to the Tombstone District, which he visited last fall. The high character of Prof Cox will be of great value in attracting leading capitalists to this coast, where the mining harvest is great and the labor CTS few.

From that point it will push on to connect with the Southern Pacific, on which construction will not be stop ped at Maricopa, as was at first in tended, and the two lines will be con- nected and form another route to the Pacific sooner than is generally sup posed. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe will leave the town of Santa Fe some miles to the east, on account of the difficulties of the route, but the company is disposed to build branch to that place, if the people will give the proper assistance.

A Typical American Citizen.

On Tuesday was buried at Mauch
Chunk, Pennsylvania, a typical ADeri-
can citizen, Judge Packer. He began
life at the very lowest round of the
ladder, and, by his honesty, persever-
ance and foresight, became the most
honored and wealthy of Pehnsy s
citizens. He was apprenticed at an
earl age to tanner, and perhaps this
business tougLened him for future
trials. He became afterwards farm
er's boy and then carpenter. He
worked at the latter trade for several
years. Taking pack on his back he
tramped into the wilds of Pennsylvania
and invested all he had in wild lands
in the upper waters of the Susquehanna.
Then he plowed the raging canal aud
carried coal in his stanch boat from
Mauch Chunk to Philadelphia. In
1860 he projected the Lehigh Valley
Railway, aud the thousands Of Western
people that passed over this romantic
road during the Centennial year saw
in this the monument of Judge Packer,
and perhaps as they passed through
Mauch Chunk might have seen his
residence perched on the mountain side
overlooking the quaint town. When
Mr.. Packer became rich, he founded
Lehigh University, the picturesq ne
buildings of which look down on the
sleepy old City of Bethlehem. 10 this
institution he gave over a million dol
lars. MIR. Packer represented the Dem
ocrats twice in Congress and several
times in the State Legislature, after
which he was elected Judge. His great
memorial, the Lehish University, is
designed to fit out young men for any
practical scientific career they may dc
sire, and no doubt, the need Mr.. Pack
er felt of this sort of education himself.
