Cincinnati peaagoguos appear to have
united III au attaok upon the study of grau-
mar by definition md rt1le. The young idea
is cra1npod, not cultivated, by llaving to men,
orize page after page Of what seems to the
learner utterly un1noaning rules about case,
tcnso, and mood, gyutax, and rrosoly. Tho
thing learned by child studying grammar
does linn little good, and the time wasted
might have been used to good purpose in
sosno other way. The Cincinnati teachers, ut
recent meeting, compared number Of
compositions, some of them written by
scholars who had been carefully drilled In
technical grammar. md some by scholars
who Ind learned grammar on]y by relKling
aud copying masterpieces OF Engl!sl, litera-
t1lro. Tho former were rs incorrect,
technically, as, the Inter, and tho latter
wero written in better styke than tho former.
This tends to show what many other teaoll-
ers have claimed, that tho only sensiblo way
to teach grammar is to mako pupils famiiar
with thu choice language OF great authors.
Then they imbibo good style, unconscious
ly, aud write well because tho phraseology
OF TinoKEnAY and HAWTHORNE ia fresh in
their minds, not because they know TINT q
uominative is the subject Of verb, or that
the conditional subJunctiye Ia tho proper
form Of verb to express doubt. Many will
wish Cincinnati instructors SUCCESS in their
good work. That 1t Is better for child to
study OL1vxa GoIpsu1Tu than L1splRx

Pubic Aid Asked for n Wagon
 Road.


 Following is a petition which tells it's own story and all we need say is hat it is being generally signed by men in and out of public life:
 To the Senate and House of Repre- ,entauves of the United States in Con- 5rcss assembled: Your petitioners, citizens of the Territory of Arizona, spec'fully represent your honorable bodies. that a wagon road from a point on the Gila river above old Camp Goodwin to Camp Apache, Arizona, k very much needed; that by con struction Of said road, the cost of supplies at Camp Apache would be very much reduced; that tke Indians 1n the San Carlos reservation are all being concentrated on the Gila river near and below Old Camp Goodwin {; that by the construction of said road, means would be afforded for the nov ing of troops in case of disturbance or outbreak; that it would be of great benefit 10 settlers along the Gila river, alfDrding them the means to dispose of their supplies and at the same time be of great advantage to the government, as supplies could be furnished al much less cost at Camp Apache, Arizona, than they can be at present
 In view of the foregoing facts, your petitioners would most respectfully ask: That an appropriation be made for the construction of said road And your petitioners will ever pray, etc.

ArraStrRr CT Rastra.

In speaking Of very pie machine well known to all miners for working simple gold and silver ores, TIE CITIZEN has used the word arrastrar;" some ua- pers Use "arastra;" and others still different orthogruphY. We are assured by many people yersed in the Spanish language, that none of the English pa- pcrs have the correct spelling, aud that "rastra ' is the proper word and correct .orthographv; therefore THE CITIZEN will hereafter use "rastra," unless better in formed that it is also erroneous in the connection referred 10. To enable our readers 10 see just how a standard Span ish dictionary defines the two words, we copy as follows from a work by Mariana Nalasquez de Ia Cadena, professor of the Spanish language anG literature in Colum- bia college, New York:

From The Miner of December 3:
 The most urgent and immediate necessity that is pressing itself upon Prescott, is a wagon road to the Peck and Bradshaw mines, and the only feasible plan for raising the means tC do it is by general taxation.
 Kent and McHenry are making the old Salvador mine, two or three miles | east of town, pay handsomely with a rastra. Their last two clean-ups yield ed, one, s7l per ton and the other S9O They have ledge full three feet thick all pay ore.
 Mir. McCurdy returned 10 town from the Bradshaw region last Friday even ing, bringing with him samples of ore from a new discovery in the neigh. borhood of Silver mountain, about fifty-fige miles southeast of Prescott. He reports the ledge as three feet wide between the walls, including nine inch es of a stratum of argentiferous car bonate If lead, which being assayed by Mir Pletz, carries at the rate of S4,3S7.- 34 10 the ton in silver. This new dis covery is of easy access and within six miles of the Wickenburg wagon road, and is named after McCurdy's partner, the Fisher"
 Charles Pletz assayed gold and sil- yer bullion in November, 10 amount of S11,548.28. The average assay value of ninety ore assays made during No vember, was S165.94 per ton.
 A school meeting was to be held last Saturday evening in Prescott, and The Miner says: There are several impor- tant questions to be considered, among which is the enlargement of the school building, which is altogether too small to accommodate the one hundred and five pupils now on the roll, and which number is increasing every week. Then the employment of an assistant teacher will be considered, besides other in- teresting matters.
 L. Bashford & Co.'S new mercantile house is thus described: The building is eighty-fve feet long, and fifty feet and two inches wide The front wall is twenty-six feet and two inches high. The outside wells are eighteen inches thick, and the partition fourteen in ches. There were used in the build ing 21S,237 brlcks, 26O perch of stone. 715 bushels of lime, and 55,0O0 feet of lumber. The roof is selfsupporting and covered with lumber, on which Is layer of bricks covered with mortar; then comes the tin roof painted on both sides with fire proof paint There are eight double iron doors and four windows weighing 13,OOO pounds in cluding sixteen iron ventilators. The sash doors and windows are filled with plate glass 26x46, which, with count CTS, shelves, desks, drawers, etc, all of the latest and most approved styles, make this truly a model store.

Indian Depreciation Claims.

Under the law of 1872, claims for compensation for depredations commit ted by Indians have been sent from Interior Department to the House of Representatives for necessary Con- gressional legislation, but action has been taken upon but portion of them. The total amount of claims thus pre- ented is over $5, ,00O, ,OOO; less than $26O. GOO has been acted upon at all, and final action upon a much less sum prior to 1872. These claims were adjusted by the Department, but the law was then passed prohibiting payment, except by special authority from Congress- Washington dispatch to Alta.
