From the oil City Derrick.
 Guiteau has taken to writing poetry. Perhaps the poor fellow is insane, after all.
 The New York Trihune's critic says Anna Dickinson's Hamlet lacks "passiOnatc tenderness, corroling gloom, the far-oif gaze of the haunt. ed soul lhat looks with anguish and despalr through wild and beautiful eyes, and the forIorn dejection of the thought laden mind" This is prob. ably important If true.
 In one of our city school rooms the lady teacher grants the history class permission to ask questions at the close of the lesson. Recently, on one ot these occasions, d voungster who had but recently finished the pern>al of blood curding western tale raised his h nd, and on being recognized by the chair, innocent!y inquired "What's buffalo chips?"
 R. w. Criswell formerly editor of lhe Derrick, has accepted the offer of d New York publishing house, who will at an early date bring out his Shakesperan travesties in book form. These travrstieS, it will be remem- bored, originally appeared in the "Stray Sand" column of the Derrick, and were generally cons dered at the 1 time of their publication the richest humor ahoat.

ANOTHER man has been found who does not like Arizona! This time it is Charley Palmer, who came to Pinal about two months ago, from that earthly paradise, Winnemucca, New. He writes back, says the veracious @ Bodie Free Press, that 'he is at Pinal, which is in a deserted region, and is solely dependent on the Silver King mine, which is very rich, and produces considerable bullion." This is pretty good send of for ''de- serted region" and almost reconcil4s one to the horrors of the situation. Cha Icy gives the climate a good send.off, for which Pinalites should be duly thankful. He says, "The weather is very pleasant, ranging from 600 to 750." He is not quite so complimentary of the people as of the weather. In fact we fail to "catch on" to his description, which is as follows:
 A majority of the white people are what they call "swampers," a cross between Mormons and cowboys, who have never heard of San Francisco, and think Ar zona comprises the greater part of the United States.
 If the Pinaites are n fair cross be- tween a cowboy and Mormon, Charley will find Silver King a poor place for a summer residence, and he had better take hint and dust for Bodie or some moro northern cline than Pinal.

Compulsory Retirement.

WAsHINGroN, April b. he pas. sage of the army app opri.'ion bIli with compulsory retirement clause by so large majority ensures its passage in the senate. IL is the most important legislation for the army since its reorganization in lSG9. There will be forty-two officers, nearly all above the rank of ajor, retired at once. The larger part will be from the staff, but every regiment in the line will be affected more or less. Next year the compulsory re- tiremert will be about twenty, and the following year about the same. Sheridan will not be affected. as he is only 55 years old, and has, therefore, the expectation of seven years in command of the army.

ORsANIzE WITH .OOD MEN.

lo-morrow the republicans of Co. chise county are to assemble in mass convention in this city and then and there organize the party. ltis to be hoped that there will be entire una nimity of purpose and action, and that none but the best men will be put forward as members of the coun. ty Central committee. Very much of the future success or failure of the republican cause will depend upon the solidity and ability of those who shall be called upon to repres ent the electors in this elementary or. ganization. If possible keep every office hunter out of the Central com m ttee, and from every position wh re he or they can use the ma chinery, in special manner, for his or tn ir adva ,cement over another. By d. n this it puts all the aspiran's to ell c i've positions upon an equal fo ti' g and throws their cl ,ims, if they have any, directly into the hands of the convention anl the people. By adopting such d course the ool.- vention, when called upon to nom. mate men to fill the various offices next fall, will be very liable to put up such ticket that it will commend itself to the voters and 1t will be elect ed. It must be borne in mind that this long.sufferlng and much afflicted people will have something to say as to who shall execute the laws for the next two years, when the ides of November roll around. Tomorrow is just the day to bear this matter in mind, for the tar with which you brand upon this occasion will be found to stick, for good or evil, for long time to come. Give the party go d managers and you give i, vic tory; give it malodorous managers and defeat will surely follow.
