The oasis., 1893-07-20
AT THE BEGINNING HERE.

The following bit of self-gratulatlOn it taken from the Citrograph. of Red lands, California. and is reproduced as showing what the eye of fprophecy can now discern as in the future for Ari- zola and TIE OASIS.
 with this issue the Citrograph ''commenccs it's seventh year. For ''six years it has never missed an tissue, and has seldom been an hour 'late. Scarcely a dozen issues in this "entlre six years but have been put to ''press under the personal supervision 'of the writer.
 "Six years is not long time in the life of man. and much less in the 'life of an ordinary town. yet how "mucb 1t measures in the life of Red Glands. Practically all of lt there i- ''to record
 When the first issue appeared the "business of the town was done in but about a half dozen houses. "There was no pos;otilce, and mali ''came addressed to Lugona. an older settlement which has since been ab- 'sorbed into the municipality of Red Hands There were 20 ralloads and "a stage line was the only means of Communication fer the two settle 'ments Of Lugonia and Rodlands.
 "IIow the town has grown, by "what agencies ard by whose work, the volumes of the Citrograbh afford 'fthe only accurate history. In its pages arc faithfully delineated the history of the past six years. There "are recorded the struggles and the "triumphs of our citizens and our "city. Ii has ever been faithful to tits sa lutatory address and it has "been foremost in every good work hooking to the advancement of our flair city.
 As has Leen % it will continue to be, first aad foremost in every pro- ''ject that can aid in the development ''of our city section, our county, our state. No money has been made out "of tue enterprise for the proprietors, bat every source of income has been worked for bettcrmcnt of the paper 'lt has n proud position among the weekly press of the coast, and il will continue to use it's income for the benefit of the people. whose wise "discrimnatlon and ready support "have enabled it to do what it has in "the past. It took leading place from the start, and a generous patronage will enable it to maiutain that place in the futurc.
 And we believe we know ourpcople well enough to say confidently that that support will continue, and in- crease with all the coming years.
 As outlined above the Citrograpd was founded under auspices and sur rOundings somewhat similar to those now attendant upon TIE OASIS. Sit uated in q region of equally great nat 1 ural advantages Arilola and TIE OASIS are destined to Dc as important factors in the development of Seuth- ern Arizona as have been Redlands and the Citrographin the great growth that has taken place in Southern Cal iforna. And six years hence when Arizola and Casa Grande shall have grown into orc fine large city with all modern improvements, with the surrounding country under high l state of cultivation, Southern Arizona will have forged ahead; to a position that will be a matter of pride and graduation to the people of the entire commonwealth.

oricin Of the Arab steed.

The origin of the best strain of Arabian
blood has been related by some roman
cer While Mohammed was fighting his
way to greatness he was once compelled
to lead his corps of 900 cavalry for three
days without drop of water.
At last, from hill top, they described
the silver streak of distant river. Mo-
hammed ordered his trumpeter to blow
the call to dismount and loose the horses.
The poor brutes, starving for water, at
once sprang into mad gallop toward the
longed-for goal. No sooner loosened than
the alarm-talse, as 1t happened-of a
sudden ambush. ''ro horse!' was blown,
and repeated by hundred bugles. But
the demand was too great; the parched
throats were not to be refused; the stam-
pede grew wilder and wilder as 10000
steeds pushed desperately for the river
banks.
OF all the frantic crowd but five mares
responded to the call. To these duty was
higher than suffering. They turned in
their tracks, came bravely back, pleading
in their eyes and anguish in their sunken
flanks, and stood before the Prophet.
Love for their master and sense OF obe-
dience had conquered their distress, but
their bloodshot eyes told Of fearful
torment - the more pathetic for their
dumbness.
The danger was over the faithful mares
were at once released: but Mohammed
selected these five for his own use, and
they were the dams of one OF the greatest
races of the desert. From them have
sprung the best of Arabian steeds. 1t
can, however, scarcely be claimed that
the average horse OF the Orient comes up
to this ideal. He must have been bred
from the 995.-Colonel T. A. Dodge,

MoneoIs of Ko-ko Nor.

Our road first lay through the district
inhabited by the agricultural tribes on
the frontier. Then we entered the coun-
try occupied by the Mongols of the Ko-ko
Nor. The pasture there was the richest
have seen in any part of Ihlbet; but an
idyllic pastoral life is by no means prac-
ticed by the inhabitants. Brigandage is
the general profession. The young men
spend their time either in making raids
on travellers and on the encampments of
their tribes by which means they mostly
acquire their cherished horses, or in
practicing the art of warfare. | witnessed
a military tournament, at which some
riders at full gallop fired one after an
other at small given mark.
These AlOngolS are tall and ferce-look-
ing, though they proved amiable when
friendly. The men shave their heads.
Both men and women dress in gown OF
sheepskin, girded round the waist, high
boots of felt and skin, bound below the
knee with leathern strap or cotton gar
ter, and long white felt COATS which they
wear over the sheepskins when it rains.
Their summer hat is of white felt, in
shape something like the top hat worn
by the old Welsh market women. The
cap they wear in winter is Of white as
trakhan, shaped like a sugar loaf, with a
red and green cotton brim
The women dress their hair in little
plaits, more than a hundred, caught to-
gether at the ends OF white band of coll
ored cloth, which is embroidered with
gay silks and gold thread. and studded
with coral and turquoise, silver coins and
brass buttons, which they get from
Lhassa. The tents are round; the inner
sides of trellis-work, the top of wooden
ribs, giving an umbrella shape, and the
whole covered with white felt, with an
aperture for small door of wood, aud a
hole in the roof to let out the smoke

little more space for individual action
may be secured. For myself, | soon
learned that away next the roof of these
old inns there were cosy, roomy places
with huge old beds, though ascending
and descending required the agility and
precision OF the hodcarrier's step.
Your meals are taken in a comfortable
room containing only a long table, some
stout chairs and window lodges filled
with flowers. Good tea, poor coffee, fair
butter, oceans OF cream and milk, half
dozen varieties of cheese and excellent
bread, with an abundance of fresh eggs,
are always to be had. There are wild
straw berries of wonderful sweetness and
flavor, morning, noon and night. Fresh
meat is rarity at some stations, though
launches of mutton, hot or cold, are
common, while at nearly all stations
trout and salmon are provided to re-
pletion. The entire establishment is
simple, humble, clean and good, without
the element of good cheer. The station

who plodS and cOurtSeyS apparently the

maidens who plod and duck their heads

Origin of the Cockade.

The origin of the cockade and the right
of wearing it are alike lost in antiquity.
IL has been held by some that the cockade
came into existence during the wars of
the roses, when the views of the wearers
were published by the color displayed,
while others derive its discovery from the
struggles of the Scottish Covenanters or
the advent Of the Hanoverian succession
Be its origin what 1t may, il is curious to
note that, while the custom has become
pretty general, it has never attained any
official sanction. The College of Arms
has never recognized the cockade, either
by issuing permits for it use or by for
bidding its display. The subject received
a good deal of attention in n contempo-
rary some years ago, and the weight of
evidence went to prove that the cock ade
originated at the Hanoverian succession,
the black cockade being the badge worn
by the followers of the new house. while
the Stuarts wore white. This custom is
referred to by Sir Walter Scott in
"Waverly."

Personating the Other Sex.

Extremely rare is it that you can find a
man who can with any great degree of
success personate woman. The most
striking exception was the celebrated
Chevalier O. l.oa, whose real sex was
never determined. So like woman was
he in build, voice, manners and manner
isms that the French Government made
use of him a secret emissary to various
European courts, and many are the books
the true history of his life But in the
other direction-t that is. in the assump-
ton of mans character and attire by
women-tbe chronicles OF the stage and
annals of everyday life fairly swarm with
instances.

GODS LOVE,

However dark thy path may be
OF earthly joys bereft and pare,
0 let this ever comfort thee:
Gods love, we see 1t everywhere.
Take all thy burdens, every care,
Unto the Lord, and he will bless;
He bids thee come his love to share
The glorious Son OF Righteousness.
Twill not be long the spirit free
VIII find its every treasure there
On shores beyond LIES troubled sea.
GODS love we see 1t everywhere
His hand shall guide from every snare,
His look shall speak but tenderness,
Our eyes shall see in visions rare
The glorious son Of Righteousness.
Press on. TIL in eternity
We meet where all is bright and fair,
And angels sing with rapturouS glee;
Gods love we see it everywhere.
Around the throne the Tansomed bear
The impress of his holiness;
Whose glory is beyond compare,
The glorious Son OF righteousness.
No doubts, no fears, no dark despair;
Gods love we see it everywhere;
All Heaven and Earth alike confess
The glorious son OF Righteousness.
