 THE OLDEST PRINTER.-Gt de- veloped In private conversation yester- day that the oldest printer in this town, so far as known, is Dr. w. H. Ward superintendent of the Arizona asylum for the insane. He entered a printing office in Charlottesville, Ind, in 1Si1, but says he is probably a little rusty as he has not worked at the trade for 59 years. There have been some changes since then in the printing business. but he says he notes that the modern devils are just as incorrigible and as badly smeared with ink as they were in the middle of the last century when he learned the trade.
 AN APPROPRIATE GIFT.--If one had studied q year about what kind of present would please Louie File the most, he could not have arrived at so happy solution of the problem as Governor Murphy did yesterday morn- ing when he made him present of Q case of razors. They were not or dnary razors, but the best that were on exhibition at the Paris exposition. They were bought by President F. NJ. Murphy because they took the grand prize and had been manufactured by an American firm, the Keating, Smyth x Southare company of Chicago. The case contains seven razors, one for each day of the week. each bearing the name of the cay, Nothing finer or more beautiful in cutlery was ever made. There is an accompanying strop, itself a most ornate affair. The raZOrs, the strop and the case are all as pretty as nfoney and skill could make them. They make altogether a package not quite eighteen inches long. which Mir File says must not be cOnfOunded with the package which three mysterious dig gers eXhumed near the corner of Adams street and Second avenue on Tuesday night.
 OF INTEREST TO MANY.-Dr. B. I. Price, of the Price Eye system, with headquarters at Denver, is in the city, and has been several days, on one of his periodical visits for the treatment of patients. lie is just now the vic tim of d very discouraging situation. En route here his baggage was lost, to- gether with nearly all his instruments and his books containing a list of his Phoenix patients. He has been eX- pccting daily Co locate his baggage and the list, but has so far failed. He has but three days more to remain in the city, as it is necessary for him to leave on the 29th to fill other appointments. He has secured enough instruments Co work with temporarily, but now Is un- able to locate his patients. as most of them called on him at the Hotel Adams on previous visits, and he does not know their addresses nor remember all their names Anyone knowing Of friend whom he has been treating will therefore confer a favor. not only on the friend, but on the doctor, by tell inS each of the others whereabouts.
