children ;of clergymen, and experts in
the mechanics art, the man of COM
merce, the daily toiler for bread, and
the more comfortable son of fortune who
is supported by his wealth in this>worlds
goods, were all alike cared for by the
genial host and hostess. Long life and
happiness to our friends in their new
and elegant quarters. They ought them
selves be happy for they possess the

Road to NaEajO.-As soon as the va
cancies of the road board are filled by
the Governor, an engineer will be placed
on the line to mark out better route be-
tween st. Johns and Navajo. The pres
ent road is in many places sandy and
hilly and a new liue can be found that
will avoid much that now retards the
rapid transit of the mails.
Phonetic SpeIIing.-A letter, undou-
btedly written by Mormon, is held for
portage at the st. Johns postofice. We
are sorry our Greek font of type is out of
order or we would be able to give the
address with its characteristics, how
ever, we print as near fac-simile copy
as possible:

The "culled" troops who have been
ordered to Whipple Barracks, and who
are now en- route, are said to be citizens
of the toughest character. From all re-
ports they are sweeping everything be-
fore them on the road here, having no
regard whatever for law or order. If
their actions continue after their arrival
in Prescott it IS more than probable that
some of them will be sent to join those
who have gone before. Prescott has no
use for such characters, II Prescott Jour-
nal.
You are wrong. honey, any COMMUNE
ty that could stand the Bloody 18th
Chivalry for sixty days is more than a
match for all the "culled" troops this
side of Hades, and need have no fear of
local disturbances. 1t is well known by
all military commanders that IN camp
there are no more orderly or easier gnv-
erned enlisted men than the "culled"
soldiers.
