Important Telegraph peal.

The Postal Telegraph Gable Co.
signed contracts recently for % years
with the Mexican National and Mexi-
can Central railroads. giving the
Postal company lines over those roads.
Under these contracts there will be a
direct overland communication between
points in Mexico and the Postal Tele.
graph stations in the United States.
The Geographic system controlled by
these roads comprises more than 5000
miles, covering the whole republic.
Tho Postal has heretofore been without
an inlet into Mexico. The deal is
looked upon as one Of the most i'm
purtant connections made in years by
tho Postal company. The lines of these
roads were previously connected with
the Western Union system. The Postal
has also extended its lines from a lbu-
qucrdue, New Mexico. through the
State OF Texas. Business for the above
points is now accepted by the Postal
company.

Tho jokes that practical jokers play
upon wise men are some times rs funny
rs they are elaborate. a case in point
Is said to have occurred some years ago
in England when Il humor loving indi-
yiduul who reloicod in the possession Of
line vegetable garden found therein
one evening large turnip. 1t
SO happened that this particular
turnip was maryeluusly like in its
shape to mans hoad, and bore n very
decided resemblance too To tho features
OF a man. Tho Joker, nerGeiving fine
chance to make a point, and struck by
the curious resemblance of the turnip,
had cast maize of 1t, and sent the cast
10 Il phrenoogist, requesting him tu
examine its bumps and to make re.
port. After sitting in judgment upon
the cast for some time, the phrenolo-
gist, go the story goes, reported that
while he could not Judge accurately
from the cast, il was his opinion that il
was the head OF person of acute mind
anu deep researgh that be had the
organ OF quick perception and also OF
perseverance well developed and that
there were signs that he was also a per.
son of extreme credulity. This opiniou
was sent by mail, and the phrenolugist
expressed, in closing, the hope that at
some time he might have the privilege
Of examining the head itself. The re.
ply was sent that tho owner would
gladly comply with this request, hut
that unfortunately he could not do so,

himself anu mia family several weeks

AN uNKfND FLING.

TIE OASIS is not disposed to mix in the local affairs of any place except Nogales, but the recent attack of the Citizen upon Mir. l.. B. Hayes, who is candidate for appointment as post master at Tucson, is so gratuitous and so unkind that an evasion of the usual rule of this paper seems correct. The article under criticism is plainly calculated to injure MT. Hayes by casting upon him the odium Of being nonresident.
 The fact Is that MT Hayes is an old resident of Tucson, has served that city as assessor and tax collector. iiil- ing the place in most satisfactory manner. No0ther incumbent of the place has equalled his record for ca. pacity and efficiency. He is grand vice chancellor in this jurisdiction Of the Knights of Pythias. That order usually usually selects ea ea Gf ;iiiiee tiiee highest stamp for offices of so much trust and honor; and in MT. Hayes the order has in no way departed from the usual rule. The gentleman comes from pa triotic stock. his father having laid down his life for the perpetuity of the republic on one of the battIcfields Of ls7l-j.
 The services of MT. Hayes toward securing an instructed delegation from Arizona to the St. Louis convention, in the interest of MT. Mckinley need no recounting. They are known and recognized by the original sup porters of the new president. In that work he earned recognition. and the Tucson postofiice would be a fitting reward.

----7--7777-7-77777-'777 77777'-77-7--7777--- AT Ills OLD OHIO HOME.

The Caldwell, Ohio Journal has the following complimentary notice of a prominent Arizonan who has been yis- itlng his old Ohio home:
 Senator Cleveland arrived fresh from far away Arizona last week, and was in attendance at the Lincoln League banquet at Zanesyille on the i2tsi greeting his old time friends for the first time in three years. He is just the same genial old Henry J. of past years with an added healthy tinge of Arizona bronze on his cheeks, and it is safe to say that no one man present was favored with more heartier or friendlier reception than he. He is storoDg champion of Arizona and stoutly maintains that it's fertile plains will in the near future be the "Edenn of America. Mir. Cleveland was called back to Columbus on busi- ness, but expects in the near future to pay q visit to Caldwell and other points in Ohio where unquestionably he will be warmly welcomed. We miss our guess, if when he returns to the southwest he does not carry basket of rich plums from the incoming ad- mlnistration, for no man has been more devoted, more faithful to the rising star of president-elect Wm Mckinley.
 Well. We should smile. Of course ht will.
