PADaRo Indians.

Our dispatches speak of the PapagO Reservation ID Arizons- The name means hair cut. Its origin is this: When these Indians were converted by the Franciscan frairs, their hair was cut as a badge of their faith. They have held to this custom ever since, and are thus known as the haircut Indians. These Indians are of the Apache family, which always wear the hair hanging loosely on the back This tribe does not receive any Government aid what ever. They support themselves simply by agriculture and basket manufsctur- ing. Their reservation is just south of Tucson, but there IS never trouble be- tween these Indians and the whites. They are one of the best illustrations ot what the early Catholic missionaries accomplished. They worship in the most famous church Tn the entire dis. trict covered by these early Franciscan frairs- It is called San Xavier Del Bse. 1t was built by the Indians out of burnt bricks and not out of adobe, and pre- serves iss beautiful form in unbroken outline. It IS a marvel to all who be- hold 1t, how 8 few trsirs and a tribe of poor, unskilled Indians could have erected go magnificent structure. It Is far superior to any of the Mexlcan churches in New Mexico, and is a me morlal of the devotion of the Indians and their teachers.-Alta Cahfornis.

A Late Chicago Romance.
IChieas0 Tribune.I

] Can you answer me Gvendolen?' Up from the meadows the soft
 bseezes of perfect June evening were
 waiting the faint perfume of cowsllp
 and a dead horse, and as George W.
 simpson and Gvendolsn Mshafy stood
 near the gate whose decrepit appearance
 told with more eloquence than could mere words of the deathless passion that
 snslsved thelr souls, both felt that a
 crisis in then hves had srrived-a mo-
 ment had come which would in the
 misty future that stretched away before
 them like one of William NJ. Eyarts'
 letters, be either bright beacon of
 hope and joy to look back upon with
 gladness, or 8 desolete landmark like the lightning-riven trees that one never beholds without 8 feeling of sadness. Secure in the consciousness of his own merit-thst sterling merit which always lies in 8 strong arm, clear brain and large feet-and yet with a modest diff dence concerning his own worth, the young man stood there in the gloaming with half reluctant cat-on-the-bsck- fence expression that lent an added beauty to his pure young face, and made more plesdingly tender the earnest, tsther-is-coming-up-the-front-steps look with which he regarded the beautiful girl who stood by his side. He had ask ed her to be hIs wife-to leave parents, sisters, brothers and all the endearing influences of 8 happy, Christian home where two girls are kept, and go with him into the wide world ss a helpmeet and companion. He had told in fervid sentence otthe great love he bore her love that would ever be the guid- ing star of bis life, he said, cheer ing him when the black clouds of diversity and despair hung heavily in the horizon of his hopes, and without which his whole existence would be one arid, trackless waste on which lay the whited skeletons of Ambition and Hope -ghastly remnants of life whose final VI eek wss all the more sad because of the happiness which it might have held had Love not fOwr away with mocking laugh when pleaded with so passion ately.
 When it came to ornamental lying, with two rows of hutIng up the back, deorge took first money.l
 Gvendolen had stood in graceful boise as he spoke, one ear thrown slightly forward and her right foot covering the doOr-mat, and, now that he had finished, was looking down in maiden shyness, while the rosy blushes that chased each other under her dazzling complexion would have told, If anybody could have seen them, of the emotions that were agitstinR her young soul But no words came from her lips those rosy-ripe portals that opened with such languid grace when there was q pie Tn the hOuse-snd George began to fear that perhaps he had talked her 70 sleep. Presently, however, she drew lulte close to him, put her hands in his, and, resting her cheek upon his shoulder, she said: "Yes, George l will marry you"
 But whenY asked the young man, horrible fear that his bluff was be to called. chilling his very blood.
 "I will marry you" repeated Gwen iolen, when a bicycle-rider IS elected President"
 Turning away to hide his emotion, George muttered in low. practical tones; Thank Heaven; l am safe"

EEPuR11cAH APpoRrloEnEnr-

We have been favored with a letter from the chairman ot the Republican Territorial Committee in relation to our objection to the proposed plan of sppor- tioning delegates among the several counties. The chairman suggests that some member of the committee in whose judgment the pending motion IS not correct should now propose and move s modification of the pending motion. Speaking of .he basis of representation he says:
 The census of the Territory should by shs law have been completed and re- ported to the Boards of Supervisu urs of the several counties of the Territory on or before the first Monday in July and fl some member of the Central Commit tee residing in Coohise or Pims county will ascertain and report to this office the official report Of the number of peo- pie living in each of these counties sev- orally, l will undertake to ascertain the population of Msricops and Ysvspsi sevei ally, and to have proposition sub nltted to spporsion the forty weight dele gates allotted to the four counties by the pending motion allotted to the four counties sJOve named among them &C., 'ording 70 their present population as shown by the last census or any other proposition which shall be made in the premises looking to result more satis- factory than the pending motion, would be willingly received and considered and, II m the'r judgment proper, it would be adopted by this committee.
 Although the CITIZEN or no person cornec'ed with it is a member of the committee. we will venture sugges- ton, which if adopted will meet the eI- igences of the case and leave no ground for complaint. The proposition to re- distribute the forty-eight deleg tes in accordance with the present population of the four counties may or may not be just and equitable. The census returns are all n and the figures in all but tSo or three counties have been published and the committee should be cOgnizRnt ot the fact. Yavapai county, Tn which the chairman resides, has studiously avoided making known the result of the late census. For what honorable req son we cannot say. If we knew whAt the population of Yavapsi county was 10 be, We could soon furnish the Tern torial committee with a plan which Sould wo'k injustice to no one and in- sure enlre harmony in the party. Our suggestion Is to spportion to all the counties upon the basis of the present ceRsua, not RppOrtion forty-eight dele Sstss to four counties and the balance uf the delegates hsphsEzard among the remaining counties.

The annex stion of Globe county to Gils county ln 1881 deprived us of about 1000 people; our D, "a ation at that time was about 2,O60. These figures show that our pop ulstion has increased a little over 5S per cent-a splendid showing.

 If a novelist should, in the course of his story have one 1t his characters play ing fairly and honestly at a game of whist. deal out to himself twelve cards nf the same suit as the trump card (which also came to him as desler) be would be justly condemned for imagin- ing so improbable an event.
