 Now that the territory of Arizona Is Tn prosperous, peaceful condi. tion, may we not hope that the pub. lie spirited citizens of all the coun. ties will put their heads together and organize Territorial Fair associa- tion ? In California they have a state organization; also district or ganizatlons in full blast. The state fair has always been held at the cap- ltal, Sacramento. Of late years it has been sarcastically termed Ca horse show," by people who were horn to critizize and find fault. No danger of an Arizonan fair ever de- generating into a horse show; and yet our people are as fond of fine horse stock as the citizens of Ken. lucky, who glory in the noble equines for which the state is noted. We are now following in the footsteps of kentuckians in the matter of raising good stock; but, as our interests are more diversified than theirs, so would our fairs take wider range. The product of mines, farms, stock ranges, forests, workshops, of all kinds; the handiwork of the ladies, all would be exhibited and give new energy and new ideas to all industrial peo- pie.
 The people of New Mexico have recently gone into this business and like it very much. The meeting and intercourse of people from every sec. tion of the territory would be one of the benefits of territorial fair. While We would not insist on Pres colt being THE place to hold it, we meekly set forth the facts that, ow- ing to its being the geographical cen ter of the territory, about midway between two great "rivers of iron;' owing 10 the healthfulness and cool. ness of its climate, even in hot sum- mer; and owing to the purity of it's air and water, we hold that it should be selected as the place to hold ter fairs.

 The banquet rendered last night hy the citizens of San Francisco to the Hon. A. A. Sargent, United States minister to Germany, was the most elegant affair San Francisco has known since the entertainment of General Grant. It was 8 splendid tribute to the man, and recognition of the high position he occupies, and it was also a high compliment to the government to which he is accredited. Mr. Sargent deserves this and every other honor California can bestow upon him. He is the first Californian sent to represent his government in first class mission, and the first to re- ceive such distinction at the hands of the prcei' -.s, K honoring Mir. Sargent San Francisco honors her self.

skOheIoT and EEIs Tutor.

Skobeleff has always with him his old French tutor, NJ. Giraud, whom he addresses with affectionate hu, mility. The dominic is little, el. derly man, respectable, brown wig. ged, smiling, formaistic. and profes. sorIal in his most familiar conver- sation. His ilustrious pupil has unhounded confidence in his wisdo dom. There is little of Miss Betsy Trot, wood and Mr. Dick in their confer ences. Skobelef in his youth and later may have done things behind his mentors back which 'twere bet ter to have left undone. Bat when the hour of repentance came, as it was sure to do, he made his confes- sion to his old preceptor, and said his mea culpa. The two have been inseparable for thirty four years. One IS profoundly grateful t. the other for having released him in hls childhood from the pedagogue Ger man tyranny which in the reign of Nicholas broke the heart and soul of Russian youth. It was then the fashion to thrash boys of good family like incorri gible serfs if they failed to give satisfaction in the school room. NJ. Giraud was for turning the generous instincts of his pupil into an educational lever, by making him feel that if he did not do we'll the tutor who wanted to use him kindly, would fall into di,credit. A turbulent spirit was in this way brought into perfect discipline.

election of state officers, territort s so inhabited do not contain the popu- lation contemplated by the law regu- lating the admission of state.
 Right here we should like to ask the taxpayers and electors of this county if their condition under ap. pointive officers has been such that they cannot improve upon them if they have all opportunity? The bur den of electipg all territorial officers, from members of the governors council down to constables having been delegated to the people, does it not follow that the irresponsible vot, CTS above described by the Nugget if they exist to so alarming an extent as to bar us out as a state-can and will exert the same pernioious evils in the coming election as though we had changed our dependent condi- ton to that of independence in the matter of eleoting our governor and judges, instead of having them ap- pointed for us? We do not expect the Nugget to see it's illogical posi-, ton, but we do expect the voters of Cochise county, though they be min CTS, will both see it and feel the i'm piled islander intended by its author.

An Indiana Meteor story.

 About II o'clock at night OF Thursday, the 9th inst, as a party of five young mer were riding in a wagon between Webster and Oswe. go, in this county, in very heavy snow-storm, suddenly large meteor made its appearance, moving with in- conceivable rapidity, and accompan- jed with a rushing, roaring noise sim. liar to that of a heavy loaded tram of cars movlng at a high rate of speed. In color it was bright cherry red. As one of the parties who saw it de. scribes it, ," It was just the color ol melted iron" The light it emitted was so brilliant as 10 blind any per son looking directly at it, and not. withstanding the storm lighted the entire vicinity as clearly as the brightest day at noon. When near. ly overhead of the party spoken of, it exploded with a tremendous re- port. The entire party were pros. trated, and one or both of the horses, and the entire party were so blinded by the intensity of the light that some of them Gncluding one of the horses) did not recover their sight until some twentv-tour hours after ward.

ILLOGlCAL REASONING

The Nugget indulges in a labored disquisition this morning to prove that Arizona should not be admitted into the Unlon as State. So far as we have been able to see there has been no real earnest advocacy of such step outside of democratic quarters, our delegate in congress, if we ms. take not, having fathered a bill now before congress asking for the ad- mission of Arizona as state. We do not believe that the Hon. Mir. Ouray had any hope that his bill would awaken responsive echo in the national halls of legislation when he introduced it. We rather believe that 1t was done as piece of cheap advertising for the territory to bring our mineral resources more promi. nently into the foreground when the time for his advocacy of the measure should arrive. Be this as it may, the reasons assigned by the Nugget for shutting the door" against Arlzona's admission as state are clearly illog- ieal and untenable, or if tenable. then they ought to apply to the exclusion of electing all territorial and local officers, for the reason that these off. cers fill positions exactly correspond ing to the same officers under a state government, and the same qualified, tions for the election should hold good of the one as the other. The voters of Cochise county should read the Nuggets exposition of this mat, ter, and reading remember that 1t is to them the doctrine must apply, and not to another. The following. cx- tract contains the pith of the whole subject, and we ask for it thought ful perusal by the mining voters of Tombstone, and in fact of Cochlse county, for We have little else than a mining vote in the county. It says:
 Now some of our territorial cx. changes are advocating the admis- sion of Arizona as a state, and in doing so we cannot think they have given the subject proper consider. ation. Practically no territory should .lS6sisx{ {e>u~sa 1R LA ;I. .se ,,>,. eoseoo . I
