 NEXT: Not much. That is one of the incOnveniences of holding office under the United States. The govern ment expects the public shall be given the best possible service at a minimum of cost; and there is always someone ready to do it as it should be done at the price the government establishes If Mir Wylie feels that for the remun- eration now paid he cannot give the public such service as it is entitled to receive he should tender his resigna- tion and give an opportunity to some, one who will do so
 BARBER: I have heard someone say that he had no right to move the office without first securing permission from Washington.
 TIE OTHER MAN: Oh! There is no doubt but that he got that.
 NEXT; That remains to be seen. l once lived in town where the post office was moved, and before 1t could be done the place was visited several different times by various inspectors "a different official each time-whO took testimony from the business men, pro and con, on the matter of removal And the adverse party made out to hold back the order for removal full year. Did anyone see an inspector inauiring into removal of the Nogales ! postofiice before it was done? Was any business man asked by any official whether the proposed removal was desired by the business public who are served by the Nogales postoffice? 1 never heard of any inquiries of the kind
 TIE OTHER MAN: l don't believe they have to be made.
 NEXT; Maybe not: but am firmly convinced that if a report on the mat | CT should be made to the department at Washington, an Inspector would be sent out here; and if the business men of Nogales talked to him as they talk to me, the office would return to Nor ley avenue.
 VICTIM: l very much fear that the falling of in receipts will amount to more than the postmaster will save in rents; for many more letters will be mailed on the train ard the post master will lose all the cancellation of stamps on such letters; people will go to the express office for money orders; and small parcels which formerly went by registered mail will now go by ex- press, working loss of revenue all around.
 THE OTHER MAN: The chances are that these items will work such loss that the postmaster will be glad to return to Morley avenue, even at an advanced rent.

The last two communications sent TIE OASIS have miscarried. The fault lies with the postotilce at Prietas.

heard In Barber Shop.
 BARBER; How did the play go off? NICTIM: First rate. l had no idea Nogales possessed so much histronic talent.
 BARBER. Who did the best:
 VICTIM: Jim Mix.
 NEXT: You're off. Pete Zeimet did better.
 VICTIM: 1 don't think SO; Mix had a far more difficult part, with great CT variety of emotion to delineate and he did well all the way through, while in the scene with the general he rose to the sublime.
 NEXT: But Pete did finely in the capture scene, and in the court mar tial scene he was simply grand.
 VICTIM: But as corpse he was a failure He,was too lifelike.
 NEXT: Don't you mean he wasn't sufficiently lifeliffe-that is, he didn't look natural like corpse?
 TIE OTHER MAN: But with all said and done the most fetching" parts in the play were sustained by Will EKey, Tom Frederick and Ed Burton.
 ALL: How so?
 TIE OTHER MAN: Didn't they fetch in Pete Zeimet on q stretcher? ALL; Oh-h-h
 
 BARBER: What are they saying about the financial report on the Orc Blanco road VICTIM: Why they are saying that it accounts for just what money was paid in, but don't account for the debts.
 NEXT: Oh, There's to be a supple mental report. When the figures printed last week were made up there was long account of labor paid in provisions which was up to MT. Avery's house, and was not included. That will be put in this week and will account for all and more.
 *.*
 BARBER: There is a good deal oi criticism about removal of the post office.
 VICTIM: l don't see why there should be. The revenue of the post master is very small, and out of that he has to pay all cost of running rent, clerk hire, etc, and he couldn't stand the rent he paid on Morley avenue. By moving into his own property he is able to bring the cost of running with. in reasonable margin.
 NEXT: l am informed-how cor. rectly cannot say-that many of the business men along Morley avenue helred the postmaster outo the rent and l am sure that by canvassing around a little the entire rent could have been subscribed by those along the avenue who surely would willingly pay it all than have the office moved away.
 TIE OTHER MAN: We'll l think Wylie has done just right, in looking out for his owu convenience in the matter, and in hls place l would have done just as he has.
 NEXT Anyone might know you arc a democratic official; for it has become a well known fact that the public has 1 no rights democratic official is bound to respect.
 VICTIM: But surely Mir. Wylie can not be expected to run the postotiict on small revenue and at great cost | to himself. If the government vii

Flowers In Northern Russia.

that nothing surprised him moro thai,

Towering plants in dwelling rooms.
Even in the cells of inconsistencies and in
the studios Of city photographers farther
north than Archangel he found such
plants as oleanders, orotons, pelargoni-
ums and fuchsias in almost every room.
The double windows, so necessary to
keep out tho cold, have draft tight
space between them filed with flower
ing plants, and it does not seem neces-
sary to open them for air during tho
short hot summer. From September to
juno the country is buried in snow and
shut in by ice. The average temperature
for January is only 10 degrees. The
July temperature, however, has an av-

to DO wondered at when 1t Is remem-
bered that the sun shines 20 hours out

IN GENERAL.

The Oklahoma gold fields are not very
promising, and there are few people
there.
Lord Rosebery. premier Of England,
has resigned, and the queen has called
Salisbury, the leader of the conservative
party, to Windsor in connection with the
formation Of conservative ministry.
The adverse vote in the house Of COM

Resignation. Senator Morgan thinks
England's foreign policy will not be SO
aggressive as under Rosebery.
According to the annual report by the
government OF tho mineral products in
1894, the value thereof was $524, 1855, 131.
Pig iron production decreased in value
nearly $2O,000,0OO, from the previous
year. The gold product is the largest
since 1873, it having coinage value Of
$35, $4,000 Silver production declined
over 1000, 900 ounces. The petroleum
export was the largest yet recorded,
nearly lOO,OOO,OOO gallons more than in
1893.
The wages Of not less than $50, 900 men
in the United States have been advanced
materially within the past ninety days.
Careful inquiry throughout the country
indicates an advance average Of liz per
cent. The Chicago Tribune has compiled
a list which embraces more than $50
firms which have within the last few
weeks advanced the wages of their EN-.
ployes. A notable feature of this great
industrial improvement is that the wages
of the 100000 men have, with hardly an
exception, been advanced voluntarily by
the employers. The season has been re-
markably free from strikes. Employers
have shown a spirit of willingness to
share the results of the era of general
prosperity which seems to have set in
without any clamorous demands from the
workmen and without delaying the di-
vision of profits until labor grew i'm
