A Few Notes of Travel.

Whatever strangers or inexperienced stage travellers may say to the contrary, the accommodations on the road between here and San Diego are as good as on any other equal length of frontier line, and fully up to reasonable expectations and are all that the business will justify. The trip is made in five and one half days, with but five nights of travel. The meals at the stations are in the main very good in quality and variety, and at many, they are first rate. Our recent trip over the line was the most pleasant and satisfac- tory of any of the many we have made.
 In this connection, we desire to men, tion that letter written by us at Santa Fe, particularly mentioning the note worthy objects and men of enterprise and business from Mesilla to Fort Craig in the Rio Grande valley, was miscarried, and to this day has not found its way into THE CITIZEN office. As it was the only letter we wrote for publication while absent upon which we bestowed any special care, it is source of regret that it was lost. From Mesilla to Fort Craig, we saw much to admire and of interest. reception at the hands of Chas. Lesinsky and Jake Schaublin-tormerly residents here. Jack Martin, the famous and enter prising chief of the once dreaded Jornada between Fort Seldon and Paraje, was a passenger from hls splendid station, mid way on the Jornada, to Santa Fe. He was an entertaining and instructive compan- ion, and has been quite benefactor to weary and thirsty travellers for years. An exact history of his trials, labors and ex penses in sinking the well at his station, would be quite thrilling enough for yellow covers" The word "jornada" is Spanish and means in this connection a days journey, according to dictionary before us; but the "Jornada" of the Rio Grande valley, is stretch of mesa road ninety miles in length and utterly des- titute of springs or streams of any kind Jack Martin sunk his well about midway on this waterless route and now has an abundance of delicious water. The noun tains and mesas hug the Rio Grande river so closely nearly all the way between Fort Selden and Paraje that wagon road is impracticable along it, and until Martin obtained water, much suffering was en- countered on the ninety "Jornada."

Special Dispatches to THE CITIZEN
 PRESCOTT AND VICINITY.

PREsCoTT, June26.-The number of Apa- che Indians on the reservations in ArizO- ma is stated by the Territorial papers to be as fol ows: Camp Apache, 1880; Camp Verde. l530; San Carlos; 5S0; Chlricahua not given. The first three reservations are under the exclusive control of the mili- tary authorities who have compelled the Indians to work and now they have under cultivation at each place large fields of grain and vegetables, and irrigating ditch 'es dug by the Indians themselves without expense to government. The Indian sol- diers at Verde have invested nearly all their pay in the purchase of stock and now OwD nearly one hundred good Cali fornia horses. All these bands are made to construct villages with due regard to cleanliness and drainage, and are no lon ger permitted to live in squalor as they do in the savage state.
 Arrangements are being made for the transfer of the two regiments now on duty in this Territory; one goes to Kansas and the other to Utah. Some of the compa- nies will leave Yuma on the Newborn on return trip.

Public Schools in Maricopa County.

Judge Alsap, superintendent of public schools, has transmitted copy of the school census report of Maricopa county for 1874 to the Governor, from which we find that there are l72 girls and 172 boys in that county, making total Of 344 chii- dren between the ages of six and twenty one. Of thls number 64 have attended the public schools during the year, and PA can read and write. This shows quite an advance over previous reports in this re- spect. Over one third of the children Of that county can now read and write, which is very encouraging, considering that the public schools have but recently been es- tablished on & solid foundation. The pro- portion of non-attendants seems large, but many Of the children live too far away from school-houses to attend, and those erected will 6nly accommodate about the number that have attended. Judge Alsap deserves great credit for his efforts In behalf of education in Maricopa county.

THE quality of the Irish potatoes grown this year in Gila and Salt valleys is said to be much improved over those hereto fore raised in them. Two years ago, it was regarded as almost certain that Irish pota- toes could not be successfully grown in either of those localities. Year by year, we find more merits in our soils and eli mate.

FROM NEW YORK.

SYRACUSE, N. r., June 24-While a strawberry festival was in progress at the Central Baptist Church in this city last night, the second floor, which was crowded with people, gave away and fell through on the heads of those below, carrying with it portions Of the roof. Sixteen persons were killed; others dying; several are crip- pied for life. Over 100 are more or less in- jured.

THERE is a decidedly improved tone among all classes regarding the future of Pima county and this portion of 1t in particular. A majority of our wide awake citizens is taking stock or mining claims and some both; and many people outside of the Territory are becoming interested in these classes of property.
 The large areas covered by the Chirica- hua and White mountain Indian reserva- tions, are even now retarding enterprises. Especially is this true with reference to the White Mountain reservation wherein it covers the copper mines about Clifton. It is expected at Washington that Agent Roberts will recommend the reduction as requested by the miners, so that the de- partment can make it with the approval of all officers who are in position to know that the Indians have no use for and hard ly any knowledge of the mining lands sought to be excluded. The reduction will be made ere long, for ample evidence can and will be furnished the Interior De- partment that it should be done in the interest of the Territory and miners who have invested thousands upon thousands of dollars in that district, without the least injury to or interference with the necessi- ties of the Indians. We are thoroughly advised that the Interior Department does not want to unnecessarily cover land with Indian reserves and is perfectly willing to reduce any when found to be too large or to cover valuable mineral lands not at all needed for the Indians, as is the case with that portion of the White Mountain re- serve which embraces the Clifton copper mines.

Two Young RunaWays.

CHILDREN arc generally credited with
originality, but it is seldom they attempt
all clOpcmcnt, and the adventures of a
boy and a girl, each about five years of
age, living in the southern part of the
city, are now furnishing considerable
amusement for those who have heard the
story. The other afternoon the little boy,
with poorly developed ideas of the cost of
travelling, asked his father for six cents,
stating that he wished to set himself up
in the newspaper business. The request
was not complied with, and the boy Wis
tied his fathers place of business, and
was given few cents by those employed
at the same establishment. He then
went to his home, and donning his best
clothes quietly left the house. Mean
while the little girl, who is the constant
companion of the little boy, visited her
home in the absence of her mother and
donncd her best clothes, not forgetting to
place several articles of clothing in car
pct-bag which she by some means secured
Thus equipped the young couple pro-
ceeded hand in hand to the depot, and
like old travellers got upon the cars, ask
their own counsel as to where they were
going. But their carefully-laid plans
were soon frustrated by cruel railroad
official, who, devoid of all sentiment, and
with desire to perform his duties with
out fear or favor, put them off the cars
and sent them home. Disconsolate and
discouraged, the youthful couple carried
their carpetbag to the building in which
the boys father is engaged and deposited
it in the entry leading to his office. They
then returned to their homes disappointed
and unhappy, but said nothing of thci]
attempted elopement The next day
however, the story leaked out, and ere
atcd considerable amusement among the
parents and friends of the children
Where they were going Or what they
were going to do they were unable to tell
their only desire being to escape from
the control of their lawful guardians an(
together fight the battle of life free from

There is nothing so much needed by

men and women exclusively devoted to

increasing riches of our country will only
lower more and more the aims of life.
and give it's pleasures a grosser impress
of sense.
Children should not be allowed to in

early emancipation. When heard, as
they often are, to talk exultingly of the

Those who control the private institu-
tlons OF learning are responsible for much
OF the popular and erroneous views in re-
gard to education. They get up astound-

the o1ogles, and, to tlatter their wealthy
patrons, pretend to take their pupils
through them all at an impossible pace,
without falter, in the course of half a
dozen years, with the long vacations in
elusive. There is not an advanced school
or college in this country which does not
fail to accomplish in ninety cases out of
a hundred what its programme of study
promises. The mastery of any subject
cannot be the result of a system which
consists in hurrying through all the
known sciences.-Hoaper's B0zar.
