Gen. Fremont recommended the Leg islature of Arizona to memorialize Congress for sn appropriation of $500 900 for postroads in the Territory, and several millions tor system of irrIgs- ton. That is reasonable. If millions are to be spent 10 reclaim the waste lands of the Mississippi Valley from too much water. millions can as profit. ably be expended upon waste lands where there is too little water. The argument that justifies a Government appropriation to reclaim lands would justify it in going into the ditching and draining business in every State and county in the Republic. Gov. Ere mont has as much reason 10 expect Congress to provide for tue wants of the farmers in Arizona as Gov. Mich oils has to anticipate like relief for the planters Of Louisiana.-From Cln- cinnati Commercial.

THE Taylor COmecy Troupe were right on deck last night with one Of the most pleasing entertainments of the season. Every reserved seat had been sold an hour before the performance commenced. At eight o'clock Levin's Hall was filled with a fun.lovlng and appreciaiive audience. The entertainment began with home scene with Mrs. Taylor In her drawing room, awaiting the arrival Of Mir. T. who Is very tardy; finally he arrives and ex- plains that he "had met friend," &c. Mir and Mrs. Taylor then sang the Larbord Watch, the Mocking Bird and one or two other songs which pleased the audi euce exceedingly and brought forth wig orous applause. TheI then performed a banjo duet in exquisite harmony and time. Mrs. Taylor then retired and "Jo ' entertained the audience with hls songs and jokes, all Of winch were good. Mrs. Taylor next appeared as kitty" the house maid, and "JoH as Mike the handy man. They were lovers and Of course made the people laugh as lovers always do. About this time the " star" Of the evening made her first appearanc. This was little Hattie, who personated three characters in rapid succession and with wonderful aptness, showing her to be a natural actress. Hei first character was that Of dashlng belle, next,the modest but winning fisherinan's daughter, and last the old man Of seventy-One. All these were well done and won the entire audience for MattIe. Mir. Taylor then inn itated the Trinity Church chimes of New York City, using two banjos at the same time. The music was very pleasing and afforded a fine exhibition Of the skill of the performer. The entertainment con clude'i with play called "The Little Or phan," written expressly for Matte, and in which the wonderful little actress ap- pears in no less than five different char acters. The play was we'll presented by the troupe and the attention Of the entire audience was held 10 the last. The enter tainmert was we'll worth the admission fee and we believe every one went away much pleased.

 The Concert.

The concert for the benefit of the Catho- lie Cemetery, rendered by Professor Me- dIna and the ladies and gentlemen of Tncson, passed of very satisfactorily last night at Levin's Hall. The attendance was fair but not as large, we think, as it would have been had not an extra charge been made for seats. In such matters, generally, 1t is not the amount but the principle Of the thing that people look at. The programme was faithfully carried out and all did well. The anvil chorus at the opening was rendered in costume and the accompaniment of four anvils and sever al clay piper. regular "cuddies that blacksmiths always use. Such was the success of the bsssos and tenorses" who rendered the chorus, that later 1.-the even ing it was repeated by request.
 Miss Nesmith was, unfortunately, suf- fering from too severe a cold tO take part in the exercises, and so the expected treat from her Loves Request" was lost, but Mrs J. II. stout came kindly forward and sang about an Irish girl, Little Kate, |"
  and her great troubles about not getting an answer. This song was composed by Lady Duderin and is a very pretty thing, especially so when rendered as we'll as it was night.
 The programme was long, and as our space is limited we cannot, as We much desire, tell At length how we'll each Of the ladies and gentlemen rendered their re- spective parts. Mrs. smith, Miss Roca, Miss Carrillo and Mir. Salazsr favored the audience with solos, and Mrs. Vasquez and Mir. Salazar with a duet. Prof. Medi- na gave one of his masterly recitations on the comet, and finally with the piano and cornet at the same Iime-in unison as it were.
 Mrs. Saiazar presided at the plano. be- ing relieved at times by Mrs. Stout, and also played a fine solo. A good many people can play on piano and morel think they can. but comparatively few succeed in giving real good accompani- ments. The piano Is then very essential portion of the music but it is moro it's purpose to assist and bring forth more clearly the voice Of the singer than to at- tract attention to itself, and Mrs. Salazar certainly understands this. Every onel knew while listening, that a master hand was lingering the keys and that there was a charm about the music, but it in no way detracted from the main interest in the song.
 At the end Of the first part O. the pro- gramme a song, Fl Gusto, composed by Prof. Medina, was sung by number of girls and boys, as solo and chorus, so yell and with such pleasant effect. that an en- core was demanded.
 Such entertainments as that of last night are always pleasant and help to Ali | up life. So We hope that this will not be the last.

IT looks as though We might now ex- pect considerable Irregularities In the mails from the east. The time has come for the Central and Union-Pacific Rail roads to be troubled by their annual snow blocksdes, and though theIe is no certain news of a stoppage of travel, the fact that a heavy storm has been rag ing in the vicinity of those lines, and that the telegraph is considerably dis ordered, gives occasion 10 the fear that there may be the usual delays Tn mail and other facilities.
