Postal Matters.

Hon. J. M. McCusick, Special Agent of the Postoffice Department, left for Patagonia this morning for the purpose of examining into the necessity of mall service for that locality. There is but limited appropriation for new mail roads, and after talking with some of our best informed citizens as to the needs of that locality, Mir. McCusick was so favorably impressed that he immediately telegraphed the Depart ment at Washington to reserve a suff1- cient amount to establish service from Tucson, via Harshaw, to Washington Camp, We have no doubt but that Mir McCusick will make a favorable report, in which case service will be put on at once.

What's the Matter,

One of the most remarkable flea lures about this bustling city of little under 10000 inhabitants is that there are no concerts or musical or theatrl cal entertainments. Not even vari ety show or a minstrel troupe. Whats the matter? Where are they all Where are the circuses and Pinafore troupes and the museums and the me nageries and free and easys? There's a panorama on Meyers street, but it has got hand organ that was played when Washington crossed the DeIa- ware and it caught cold aud has never gained its harmony; and besides, the scehes are just too awfully thrilling for anything. Come on with your panto- mines and Pirates of Penzance. Bring along your minslrels, and dog-shows, land sacred concerts, and opera troupes, and giantesses, and one-legged men. Give us music by the full band; charge high prices if necessary, but give Us some fun. And don't you forget that TIE CITIZEN office is lhe best place 10 get your job work done. We only mention this for your own good.

Grand Summer Opening at welisch's.

Grand Summer Opening at Welisch's. There has long been felt in this place a lack of certain ability-only acquir- ed by years of experience-in the se- lection of such stock of fancy dry goods and millinery as would meet all the requirements of the season, and at the same time be, as regards price, within the reach of all. By the com pletion of the railroad to this point, the enterprising proprietor of the White House, on Main street, has been able to purchase stock-conjointly in San Francisco and New York-such as has never before been offered in Ar izona, and has set Thursday, the Sth, as the day for opening. His long ex- perience in the business and his famil
 iarity with the wants of the people, has enabled him to select such articles as will give satisfaction as regards quality and price. The millinery de- partmeut contains large variety of elegant hats, bonnets and artificial flowers imported direct from New York, and unsurpassed by any house west of the Rocky mountains We cannot describe all that there is to see and admire, and can only advise our lady friends to attend the grand open ing next Thursday.

AmuSementS,

We understand that the Novelty Troupe, which is under the manage
 meut of MT. Rnraback, has engaged Levin's Hall for series of theatrica
 entertainments. Mir. Ro;a aback is pro nounced as the finest tenor on the Pa
 cifc coast, while Patti Rosa is toe well known for comment; the balance of the troupe are said to be fine actors
 The Novelty Troupe performed at Los Angeles, and with such success that the whole house was in such a state of commotion from laughter, that every thing had to be stopped for the audi ence to regain its equilibrium. The entertainment, while it is ludicrous, is said to be very chaste; so much so that even the most fastidious cannot find fault. We bespeak for the Novelty Troupe prosperous season in Tucson

Long Haired Gentry.

There won't be any more trouble about the Pima and Maricopa Indian Reservation. Those pleasing and long haired gentry have struck the soft est kind of snap. They get aboard passing train on the South ern Pacific now and ride free to Tue son. The first invoices of them were so well pleased that the whole tribe have concluded to take possession of this place. They ride home once a week or so, and fill up with beans and jerky and then come back again. They are not quite so fond of duty free mescal as some of the Papagos, but they haven't had time to yet develop that pleasing weakness.

PARTIES visiting San Xavier church with tickets of admirtance from the Bishop, which are supposed to admit visitors to any part of the church, com plain that the usher charges an addi- .tional dollar for the privilegesof see ing the upper part of the building. We are inclined to the belief that this is unauthorized by the Bishop, but the abuse should be corrected or larger fee of admittance charged, which would admit visitors to all parts of the church.

Precautionary Work Along the s. P.
 Railway.
 Passengers inform us that the South ern Pacific Company is doing a large amount of ditching along the line of its road in Arizona and on the Cobra do desert in California, to protect the track from washing away by the sud- den dashes of rain on the adjacent mountain and hill sides. Near Mo- hawk Summit there are now many miles of ditches, so made and arranged as to divide the water and conduct it to sluice ways under the track. On the Colorado desert there must be near ly 100 miles of ditches for the same purpose, but they are mostly cut like the shingle roof of house, the apex being some distance from the track. For many miles there is no interruption in this kind of ditches; reminding one of an old rail worm fence, but made of dirt. The expense of this work has been large, but experience shows its necessity. The Company is still bor- ing for artesian water on the desert west of Yuma, and at last accounts had reached depth of over 1l00 feet.

THERE is report that the Star is shortly to be changed to religious daily. If SD, it will be the first daily of the kind ever published in Arizona Such an enterprise would seem rather premature at this stage of events, but we believe the eminent purity and Christianlikc cbars cter of the editor of the Star would ensure sucsess in such an undertaking.

SoMG attorney, whose tail-feathers were probably plucked by Judge French during the present session of Court, has seen fit to complain of tha' Hon. gentleman's lack of dignity. Somehow, though, the people who are so fortunate as to get into court always seem pleased when a lawyer is sat down upon, and after the ex perience in hung juries, &c., for the past month we incline 10 the opinion that the learned counselors are lucky in not having the people generally sit down upon them.

A New and Important Enterprise.

A New and Important Enterprise.
 One of the most important under. takings ever engaged in in this part of Arizona has lately been quietly per. fected. A company has been incor- porated under the name of "The Southern Arizona Railroad Company" to build and operate a railroad from the crossing of the San Pedro by the Southern Pacific road to Tombstone. The company is organized under and in accordance with the laws Of the United States and Arizona, and is cOmposed of the following officers: W. W. Williams, President; Hugh Farley, Secretary; and Messrs. Will Hams, Farley, Wm. Zeckendorf, and Fitch, Farley & Pomroy, Directors. The amount of capital is $1,200,000 A preliminary survey is already under way under supervision of MT. w. $. Edwards. After the completion of this a final survey will be made, and work on the road is expected to commence as soon as circumstances and the well known energy and means of the un- dertakers will permit. The road will be about forty miles in length, and will run from the San Pedro intersec- ltion via Contention and Charleston to Tom bstone.
 There is fine field and urgent need of just such road, and while we are glad to see the public spirit and enter prise manifested in this undertaking, we are the more pleased because there is every reason to believe it will result in great profit to its origlnators.

1t Makes No Difference.

Although the times are hard and money if scarce. the proprietor of the Red House, Sacra
 mento, Cal, never pays any attention to tht outward appearance of things, but goes right
 on in 9 straightforward business way. In sun shine or lowering weather whether the times are flush or depressed, there is no change in the purchase or supply of goods at the peoples fa. tvOrite purchasing depot, Nos. 705, "A, 716 and 1921 street, Sacramento. During the past week this house. no doubt, received the largest Invoice of goods ever received in any week by
 any other dry goods firm in California. Wonder and astonishment increases, and every one con versaDt with the amount of goods received at the Red House are amazed and bewildered as they witness the unloading of immense quan- ties of boxes and bales. Where these goods are slowed and what becomes of them are still greater sources of bewilderment Did they but know of the great number of clerks that are constantly engaged in packing goods for shipment to all parts of California and Nevada to fill orders, and see also the number of bun- dles carried away by city purchasers, they could in a manner account for the large re- lceipts. The display of goods is very fine, and the large stock to select from and the extreme fly low prices, give the purchaser such advan- tages at the Red House that all who feel the ne cessity of economy and the value of money flock there to supply themselves.

Last Thursday and Friday were regular street cleaning days. A good many minimizing people growl about the high winds and disagreeable weath- Ter, but to the observant man these winds are blessing in disguise. Look lat the streets now and see how clean they are. All the dust and refuse has been taken up by the wind and care fully deposited out of sight in the houses and back yards. And the city is clean once more. It will take weeks 10 get it all out into the streets again, and then will come another windy day and sweep it back where it should be What beautiful dispensation of Prov idence.
