A Charming Vocalist.

It goes without saying that no more charming vocalist is upon the operatic stage today than MT. George Lyding, the tenor of the Calhoun opera com pany.
 MT. Lydipg, who has been connected with several of the principal opera com panles of the country is a young man of fine presence, who as vocalist, simply charms all who hear him. Too much can hardly be said of hls fine and care fully rsined voice.
 Mr. Lyding will be heard in "A Amorita" upon th- apperance of the Ca 'houn opera company at the opera house Mon day March IS and 19.

 new clothing store will bud and blossom in few days on the corner of Congress and Meyer street. It will bs a branch of the New York store. The proprIetors are pushers and mean busi- ness.
 So far as can be learned the new cattle law vii practir ally cut off all importa- tions from Sonora. It will not only necessitate a 15 days quarantine but compel all importers to bring their purchases through the Nogales custom house for inspection. These restrictions will prove as effective as blockade.
 Although to many, the music, scenery and costumes of an opera company are the greatest attraction, to others the comedy element in the play is particu- larly attractive. To ali such, we can give the assurance that the comedy char acters in "Amorita," the comic opera. to be produced by the Calhoun Opera Company are very funny in the hands of Messrs Abbett and Webb.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
 TELEGRAPH LINES.

One of the coming reformF, however slow travelling it may be, is the owner ship of the railroad and telegraph lines by the government of the United Statrs as they are now owned and operated by Great Britain. 4 recent statement made to Washington as to government man. agement of the telegraph m England show that all the lines passed under control of that government m 1870 for f1l 100000, and that in the year suc- ceeding the government built 15.000 miles of wire to connect the varlous systems. As an illustration of the re- suite of this policy the reports show that while Tn 1870 the total number of t-le- grams handled v-ekl by all offices WAS estime ed st fir m 5s, 900 tp 2l5.OOO. in 1893 the total nun exc ded 10000, 900. h 1869 the F slish press sArvIce was P, ,OO0,OOO Wof~s, now it amounts 70 600,0O0,000 words, 36 times more uran formerly. The present press rate IS sb- surdly small, as compared with the tar fl prior to 1870, and in pa e of sending 75 words per minute one way, the wires now carry 800 words minute. and SIX messages are sent simultaneously on one wire. The service IS performed with perfect punctuality, the average time of transmIssion of message being about seven or nine minutes, as against two or three hours in 1870.
 The rate is 12 cents for 12 words paid by stamps. It IS not possible to calcu late the cost to the treasury of the teIe- graph service because of it's combin8- tion with the postal service, but the English government does not consider it ss 8 means of revenue, but rather as 8 means of helping trade and informing Ing the public.
