 OBITUARY REsoLUTIoNs.-At meeting of the brethren of St. Luke's Lodge, No. 4s, F. & A. M., held at Kent, Conn, April 22d, 1880, the following resolutions were unani- mously adopted:

THE "GaRMAs."-T boom of the .ap- preaching summer gaiety reached us last Fri day night in the shape of an impromptu Ger man" The ides, conceived the previous even ing by Messrs. Roberts and Hollister, owed its complete success to the energy and ability with which its leader, Mir. Geo D. Watrous, conducted it. We should have commenced promptly at half past eight o'clock had we not been delayed by the tardiness of a few until the fashionable hour of nine. At length all were in readiness. and the first four of the thir- teen couples participating led off, gliding rap- idly over the waxed floor to the seductive mu- sic of the waltz. After allowing them to- dance few moments. tle lead blew bic whistle, at which signal each chose another partner. At first one or two manepvers, by some who had not as yet fully entered into the spirit of the affair, cccasioned little confus- ion. However. all the other figures were ex- ecuted admirably, the mask figure creating good deal of merriment. The neat and pret- ty favors consisting of fans, pipes caps, Japanese parasols, and many others, were furnished by the young ladies who, at short notice on Friday morning, manufactured most of them. The gentlemen who were fortunate enough to be recipients prized them al the more as the industry of thelr fair friends hands: they show also the willingness which
 he ladies always display when called upon by the gentlemen to aid in like enterprises.
 The excellent music was furnished by two itinerant musicians, who played respectively the harp and violin, and we sincerely hope local orchestras will not be offended because because of onr obtaining music from the distant cline of sunny Italy.
 Of the lady spectators, and smiling ''mam- mas," South Street sent by far the largest delegation, their agreeable cEaperonage doing not little to increase the pleasure of the dancers. The greatest snjoyments are soon over, and it was with regret that we found ourselves engaged in the last waltz, with which, after nearly three hours of uninter- rupted pleasure, the ..German" terminated with the music The'gay tangle and busy hum of conversation ceased, the dreary stiffness of the hall seeming mockery of the gaiety which few moments before reigned there. All expressed themselves highly delighted | with the evenings entertainment. sEt
 And now while we resumed the duties of l every day life, let us reserve place for these innocent recreations The swift and impetu- Ous flight of time hurries us rapidly onward, and, alas all too soon, the dimmed eye and | uncertain step will banish them forever.

Too Confding.

An especial good feature n the
 Star, without question, Is the habIt
 winch it has of religiousiy prlnring the news which the CITIZEN contains,
 telegraphic and otherwise. But the CITIZEN would suggest 10 its pupil that too close imitation of a model,
 however good, Is not advisable. For instance, last evening the CITIZEN
 made a mistake (which II does ire- quently) in the vOle on Delegate m Tucson. The figures were reversed. They should have read {" Stewart 50o, Oury 426," instead of the reverse The Star showed reprehensi ble blind ness, therefore, in taking the CITIZENS election returns bodily, without fir>t revising them for the detection of any errors winch may have crept ID. Then, too, ii was not exactly right for the Star 10 copy the CITIZENS wicked paragraph which represented |" San Simon, New Mexico" as giving " 10G votes Co Arizona Democrats" Even if few of our New Mexico neighburs did come acrcss the lIne Co aid their Arizona brethren, it Was not exa, tly right for the Siar to twit its pOliiiCai friends with the alleged state of affairs, to which several of them owe thrir election. l. is more in Ihe spirit of friendly advice than of reprUof, how ever, that the CITIZEN makes The above suggestion tp the Star. The latter should bear in mind that the CITIZEN is far fIom infallible.

 While the California capitalist is at last awake 10 the importance Of secur- ing a larger share of the vast min eral wealth of the southeastern section of the country, he has, according to the San Francisco Stock Report, been too slow. In a late edlt"rial the above paper takes the wealthy men of San Francisco tO task for allowing Eastern men 10 get in ahead of Ihem and buy up mining properties at the rapid rate they have been doing, and regretfully mentions the fact that the East now owns more of the mineral wealth of Arizona than California.
