1ne reception accorded Governor
Murphy by the people of Phoenix was
thoroughly in line with his we'll
known desire to avoid demonstra-
ton. Tae governor has been in i'll
health, and some time necessarily will
elapse before he will be able to ad-
minister the affairs of his Office with
the vigor which has marked all his
official acts. The brief speech he
made last night at the Hotel Adams
was q model Of directness. He asked
for the support of the people and
pledged himself to work for the best
interests Of the territory. His record
as aecretary, governor end delegate is
. sufficient guaranty Of his desire and
ability to giye Arizona a clean aud
wholesome administration As be
said last night, he has no friends to
reward or enemies to pqnish,. He will
devote his energies to the upbnilaing
Of Arizona. The Republican 4hae no
doubt that he will make q model gov

The excursion to Brescott and
Whipple Barracks is going to tek1
more people out of Phoenix than ever
left the city in one day. There are
several reasons why this will be SO.
In the first place the object of the
trip is to bid the volunteers farewell,
for there is we'll authenticated
rumor from Washington that they
will be ordered to San Francisco early
next week. In the next place the
EXCURSION is under the direction of B
company. N. 9. A., and every mem
Der is an excursion agent. Then
again the extraordinarily low fare of
$4 for the round trip is attractive.
1t is made still more SO by the con-
dition that the return ticket is good
on any train for eight days. This
will give many an opportunity to visit
friends who are spending the summer
at Prescott. The excursion will he
accompanied by the Pioneer band. On
Saturday night this band viii con-
.oliaate with the Prescott band and
the regimental band under Professor
Otto Eberhardt. and will give grand
concert. There will be more than
fifty pieces in the consolidated band.
On the day of the arrival at the bar
RACKS there win be a grand parade
followed by the presentation of the
regimental flag to Governor McCord's
regiment by the 7. o. G. 7. OF the ter
ritory. Among the unique advertise
ments of the excursion in the show
windows Of the city are photographs

"It'g a boyl It's BOY" was
the mornlng greeting Of all who ac-
costed the Rev. Howard Norman
Bartlett last saturday. Whether the
boy had SHE'D rock at the preacher,
or had broken into the church, or had
fallen into a well, we we're unable to
learn, until the reverend gentleman
delivered himself as follows:
s'ro aid thy minds develc pn ent-to watch
The dawn Of little ioys-to sit and see
Almost the very grcwth-to view thee catch
KnowIedg &c of objects-wopders yet to see
To hold thee lightly on gentle knee
And print on thy soft cheek parents kissf"
Then it dawned upon us that onr
esteemed pastor had become a father
and slightly demented. A little
careful nursing, mixed with consider :
able discipline. and compulsory
promenade from one to three o'clock
in the morning. in undress costume,
for few weeks, is the doctors pre-
scription. We nope it will effect a
speedy and permanent cure. Winslcw
