Governor Tritie Heard From. nm the Phenix Gazette. Mach 4

rIoh buc hehiA oo<cstSt -ne SA
 Last evening at half-past seven the band began playing m front of the Bank Exchange hotel, and large number of our citizens assem- bled to pay their respects to Cover nor Tritle. This gentleman appeared on the balcony and was introduced by Judge De Forrest Porter, and proceeded to make few appropriate remarks. He gracefully acknowl- edged the compliment rendered by our people and trusted that they might never have cause to regret it. He stated that President Arthur had seen fit to give him the appointment ,f governor of this territory, and he would endeavor to faithfully perform the duties of the office; that he ap- preciated the importance-1f.sesPo- sition that Arizona was assuming. The governor then informed onr peo- pie that if they had any requests to make of the executive he desired that they would approach him di. rect, and not through middle men. The governor stated that he had taken up his residence in Tucson, and that he would probably remain in Prescott only at such tines as his duties make it necessary. The speech was a model of modesty, and it is evident that Governor Tritle is willing to stand on his merits, free from rhodomontade. At the close of the governors speech, short and tel Ing responses were made by Judge Porter, Judge Tweed, c. A. Luke, l. H. Cox, A. c. Baker, Ed. Porter and Jos Campbell.

rh.. Alleged Cure fer sm.lI.Pox.


 A mixture compounded of one grain of sulphxte of zinc, one grain of digitalis, half g teaspoonful of su- gar and two tablespoonfuls of water has lately been declared to be an eff. fectual cure for smallpox, and a paragraph to that effect has been widely published. A correspondent of the Milwaukee Republican writes that during 8 recent attack of small pox he gave the supposed remedy a faithful trisl, and derived not the smallest benefit from it. He adds, moreover, |" In the town wht re I caught the virus the sure cure wa, published at the first breaking out there. A druggist put it up and ad- vertised it as ready on call. There were nearly fifty cases there after ward, a quarter of them fatal, and I understand the majority of them tried the 'unfailing-as.fate cure. It has had recent wide publicity, but I doubt whether any French medi- cal academy has yet heard of it. AS for its strength, take drop of apple juice, a drop of turnip juice, mix with a taste Of sorghum syrup, and stir the mixture in pail of wa.er- take some whenever you are thirsty. This will be as unfailing' as the other and is equally harmless. With such a terrible disease as the small pox, credulous people may suffer greatly or die by having placed be- fore them, under such emphasis, this utterly worthless cure"

AARPER AND TaE COWBOYS.

"The ow.boys of Arizona" IS the subject of an engraving and edi- torial in Harper's Weekly, both of which are amusing in their way. The writer quotes from the late ac' ting Governor Gopsper and says, "That in number the cowboys do not exceed fifty" and then supple ments this statement with another, as follows: "They make the field of their operations, for the most part, in the county of Coohise (so named from a whitish stone found in the silver mines) and their headquarters are in the town with the highly characteristic title of Tombstone" For this last piece of information - the derivation of the name of our justly celebrated county-we can forgive the late acting governor for all his misstatements and misrepre. rentatiQns upon this subject. In common wish all the people of not only this county, but Arizona, we had supposed the county derived it's
 name from a once famous Apache warrior named Cochise, whose strong hold was in the Dragoon mountains some twelve miles to the north of this city. This demonstrates how easy it is for people to be mistaken. We accept the "white stone" theory and blot the once noted warrior,

It was for "championing" the cause of "jus. tice" that brought down upon us the wrath of many good but misguided men, and this fact his excellency also knew.

The Speaker organized the committees in the
interest Of jobbery; and as the real work of
Congress is done in committee rooms, it was
inevitable that the history of the session should
be regreiable. We should have had revenue
reform something should have been done for
the Improvements Of the civil service /; a Sys-

should have been formulated, and the first
steps ought 10 have been taken for the rehab-
ilitation Of the navy. All these matters were
suggested; but when the Speaker placed Mr.,

the navy he strangled it in its cradle, and the
other matters persisted amidst war of words.

postoffioe Friday addressed .'Miss Sallie Binus,
postotiiee, Philadelphia, and which upon
being opened by the clerks was found to con.
tain one of Jay Hubbells circulars calling
upon Miss Sallie for per cent. of her salary.
No one seemed to be acquainted with Miss
Binns, aud the postofiiee authorities were at a
loss as to how to locate her until one OF the
eoIored attaches informed the postmaster that
Miss Sallie Binns was one of the feline guar
dams of the cellar. The cat was at once
brought mn and the circular read to her, but
she was evidently not good republican, for
she made several efforts TO escape while 1t was
being read, and finally burst through the as
sembled crowd and rejoined her associates IN
the cellar, where her story was greeted with
many expressions of earnest sympathy. It's
feared that Miss Sallie BiDns will soon be pro-
nounced bad mouser, and asked to give way
to cat that understands better the Hubbell
principle of division.
