 Special Correspondence of the REPUBmc,,S.l
 Your correspondent and course.hand
 writer arrived in Nogales on the 27th of
 last month, so you can see from the time that has elapsed since his arrival here that there must be some special attrac- tion in the Gate City. We'll, sir, there is. Noeales is a wide-awake. enterpris- ing and go ahead town, and can already
 boast of having the finest and largest business block in Arizona. The busi- ness men on both sides of the line are men of push and energy. Even the cus- tom house officers on the United States side are ever anxious and willing to button-hole fellow to see if he is not trying to do Uncle Sam up for few dollars in revenue. One of these enter prising young men in his haste to per form the duties of his office left his badge or credentials at home and came down town and "nailed" your cores pondent as he crossed the line from the Mexican side and insisted upon know ing what he had in that grip" "Who aye you? ?" inquired your representative. "I am custom house officer, responded the young man, and it is after office hours of the custom house; 1 want to examine that grip" "Where's your badge or credentials?" asked yolr cor respondent. Then the young maa with a confused expression began to run his hands over his shirt bosom, feel in his pockets, examine his hat and after look ing in his book for his badge and find ing none exclaimed: ''Wait there a minute and 1 will bring you man that has got a badge." And off he started, soon returning with a afull-hedged officer, who was "coppered" with badge and who took particular pains to mix the contents of the grip up as much as possible. The newly appointed Cover nor of Sonora, E. l.. Torris passed through Nogales oh the 27th inst. en route to Hermosillo Mexico where he will ofiiciate. Governor Torris had just returned from the City of Mexico where he had been to receive his appointment. He was accompanied by his wife ano a young lady relative. Firing of guns, and the playing of music was indulged in in honor of the Governors presence in the city on the Mexican side. Tor ris' appointment as Governor meets with approval by Americans in this yi- cinity as he is regarded man of liberal ideas, honesty and integrity, culture and refreshment, and one who will deal justly by all,
 It will be remembered that this fig Torris' second term as Governor, hav- ing served four years ago.
 The Governor states that the report published in American papers, in regard to terrible famine in Mexico, is mis- take. Tn speaking of citrus fruit grow ing in Salt river and Gila Valley, Cover nor Torris expresses himself as believ- ing that the "Hermosillo orange trees are the trees to plant there, as they are free from disease, besides being an early fruit and bright colored skin anda flavor that can not be surpassed in the world. These trees need not be over two or three days in transit, while trees from Florida are some six weeks on the road. The business of Nogales is all done in Mexican coin "Adobes, (which is worth about 9 per cent less than United States money. There is great deal of beauty among the refined class of Mex ican women of Sonora and like the men they are the quint essence of politi- cans and sociability. ANGELO.
