More BswilderIng Enterprise.

The CITIZEN is never so happy as when it can make record of the con tinually recurring and binding enter prises of its truly great morning con temporary, the Star. This morning another great meteor took station in the bright milky (and not watery) way of the staff of the popular educator over beyant in the alley. IL is this time a scientific editor who joins the thickening ranks of the staff, already mum beTing in its serried hosts land grant editors, funny" men no end, scrap book editors, verse carpenters, essaYists, gush-artists, tramp spec ialty writers, and last, but by no means least, a scientist! The latter this morning efTectuslly disposes of paraifine (aiter having, presumably, got away with all the benZiDe in sight and gives electric science herculean boost. But it is a little too bad that he should have wound up his delightful prIZe article with such a phrase as, We shall await anxIously for further developments of this in
 vention, for 1t imposes on the CITI- ZEN the hNlul uutl Ol ulSClOSluS NuCu and whence these developments will come. They will arrive next week in 8 yellow envelope from a scientific bureau" in Maine ye godsD, and they will cost the Star just D cents American money, not [" adobes 'D. The same identical sci entific notes were offered the CITI- ZEN office by mail, but the financial resources of this highly moral and religious family journal could not stand the expense, two bits a week, and so 1t was left for the truly great Star to take up the neglected cause of paratiine and science in this ancient and honorable pueblo. The series of scientific articles thus inangurated make delightful local items, and only need the accompaniment of a patent |" Washington special correspondence" to complete the ensemble. As the latter costs only four bits a week, without doubt our enterprising con- temporary will undertake the fright full expense forthe benefit Of this awe stricken community.

HOLIDAY GIFTS.
The Brilliant Display Now Being Made at the COngress-street Jewelry Store of J. VI. Berger.

In the general desire to make beau tiful and brilliant Holiday displays,
 Mir. J. NJ. Berger, the jeweler, stands well in the front. His store on Con- gress street has been recently refitted Tn an elegant manner and with an es- pecial view to better display of that ever attractive class of goOds-jewelry The show window-in this city where attractive show windows are the eXcep- tiOn-never fails to arrest the atten- tion of the passer-by with its tasteful arrangement; and after an inspection which finds much to admire, from the general appearance of the window to the handsome swinging clock which ticks the passing moments in one cor ner, the wide entrance and pleasant interior make continuance of the journey up or down the street Impos- sible until a closer peep is had at the pretty articles displayed in the inter Tor. The first thing which attracts the attention of the visitor on entering IS the great variety of the large stock of clocks Clocks little, clocks big, clocks round, clocks three-cornered, tlOIho TUT lllc SCnpOl-IOOIll, NhS haiIi the parlOr, the miners cabin. All wound up, they produce a whirr of ticks that is by no means unpleasant. The good housewife admIres the ad- mirably arranged and large case of table silver service; the young lady heaves a wishful sigh over the blaz- ing diamond tray; the youth gaZes lOnglngly at the grand array of watches, and the visitor from the East is captivated by the exquisite Mexican filigree gold work. Of this latter class of goods MT. BerGer makes speciality, and his stock is one of the best selected to be found in any city.
 Residents of Arizona can find no more appropriate or acceptable presents to send to their friends back home '" than this beautiful gold filigree work. In fact, all who contemplate the pur
 chase of Christmas presents who does not?-should visit MT. Berger's handsome jewelry store on Congress street, and if they do not find some thing to suIt them, then It will be their own and not MT. Berger's fault.

no doubt by too free indulgence in
the ardent, and involving persons Of all
social positions. In one saloon pistols
were drawn, but their use prevented
through the intervention Of friends, but
in the scufle that ensued considerable
glassware and much Of the glass front
was broken, when the proprietor dis
creetly closed his place. Soon after
ward knock-down argument was held
in a neighboring sample-room, in which
a disfgured face and much excitement
were occasioned. Scarcely had this dis
turbance ceased when a set-to occurred

tween votary Of the green cloth and
colored individual, both OF whom were
promptly collared by Officer Beaman
and marched before Justice Colman.
Lower Main street, not to be outdone, pro-
duced a frstcass boxing-match without
gloves, in which broken nose and dis
colored optic were received. Peace was
finally restored by sober friends, who
exercised great surveillance over their
companions the remainder of the even-
ing, and thus prevented second and
much more sanguinarY outbreak, which
at one time seemed imminent.
