THE RAILROAD ENTERPRISE.

The new railroad enterprise is getting under way in good shape. Our citizens appear to be fully alive to the benefits to be derived from the construction of the road, and are willing to work and to contribute towards the object.
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon the name of the corporation was decided upon. It Is to be the Tucson and Gulf of California Railroad Company, the capital stock is S3,OO0,OOO, of which a sufficient amount hus been subscribed to enable the company to complete its organization.
 The next thing in orler will be to make a preliminary survey. and put the matter in shape to have capitalists take hold of it and push it through.
 The road certainly offers greater in ducements to capital than the average railroad scheme, and there Is hardly a doubt Of the ability of those interested to enlist the attention of railroad men.
 Now that the initiative has been taken, we hope that matters will be kept mov- ing and not be allowed to de out The future of Tucson depends upon making 1t the radiating point for as many rail roads as possible. With its present es- tabhshed trade, the addition of the sd- vantages of railroad center will make Tucson the leading commercial city of the far Southwest. Our citizens should not lose sight of this fact, and should put forth every effort t1 secure additional railroad facilities.

General Cars Case.

GALEsBURG, H., January l9,-The friends of General Carr in this city clam that it is absurd to at- tempt to make the President instead Of the Department Commander responsible for Carr being placed under arrest. They claim that Carr has not been falrly treated, and that his complaints 70 cin- cers of his superior commander do not justify his arrest by that officer for dis respect, which is the charge against hl a. The charges are, disrespect, mls-state- ments in complaints to higher authority, disobedience of orders and misconduct of the Indian campaign. The charges of disobedience and mismanagementc com ing four months after they could have been made. A full investigation of the campaign will show that Gen. Carr per formed his responsible and delicate du ties as well as could possibly have beer done in such unexpected emergencies as those in which he was placed. He, him self, telegraphs: "I am ready for any kind of trial or investigation" Genera Carr's brother lives here and much inter est is taken in the case.

A NEW VOLUME.

With the current issue the WEEKLY CITIZEN begins a new volume. For twelve years the paper has made its heb domadal visits to the homes of its nu- merous readers with regularity only interrupted by the uncertainty of the mails and the brief period of time re- ouired to replace the material destroyed by fire, last summer.
 To-day tine WEEKLY CITIZEN IS second to no newspaper on the Pacific Coast, outside the metropolitan journals, both in size and quantity of reading matter and the efforts of its publishers to excel all others and to advance the interests oi this wonderful land Of silver, have met with gratifying response in a volumln' ous subscription list and general ap' preciation both at home and abroad
 During the coming year the publishers purpose spsring no pains or expense Ill making the CITIZEN a household neces' sity. and wlll aim to give only correct and authentic information concerning the mineral and other resources Of Arl' zana, and if reports of the richness oi the mines sometimes seem almost ln' credulous, the reader must remember that the wonders of this country have not half been told, and that the develop ments in Arizona brought about by tho enegy of capital and the enterprise o ambitious men will yet astonish tho world with the vast treasures stOreC = the hills of this Territory.

4 RacL.Hnndel SnelIrr.

Santa Fe has a young man with q mind which has a faculty that is rarely found, if indeed, it can ever be discover ed elsewhere. Thegentlemani in question = H-eh aIr-''St printer warkins over at military headquarters. He is rapid type-setter and a thoroughly good workman, so that be IS not dependent on any side business for good living, and as consequence has never said any thing about his spelling capacity, which is the subject of this item. McKevitt IS left-handed speller, and defies any one to put at him word which he cannot spell backward as rapidly as the best and quickest speller could give in the usual way.
 The other day the reporter fell Tn with him when he was in a mood more communicative than usual, and had oc- casion to try him. Incomprehensibility was not a marker for him. As soon as the word was pronounced Nc said Eff teen letters" and went it backward so fast that his hearers were unable to tell whether he was right or wrong. "You see,' said fellow printer, "he can tell the number of letters in any word with out a moments hesitation as well as he can spell 1t backward, and not only that, but you can give him a whole sentence and he will tell you at once how many letters there are in 1t and go right on and spell through the whole thing faster than most people could spell it the oth- CT way"
 This thing was tried time and time again, and no word or series of words could be hit upon which were not ren- deIed as indicated above. Of course there are words in the English language which McKevitt has never heard of, just as is the case with almost every other man, but he Is what would be call ed fine speller, right handed" as he says, and is familiar with the language and any word which he has heard and can spell at all he can spell backward with astonishing rapidity. The strang. est part about the whole thing is that Mckevitt has pever practiced or studied spelling backward day in his life. He says he does not know how be ever ac. quired the ability to do it, but that as soon as he hears or sees a word, even il he has never thought of 1t before, which of course, Is the case with the large ma iority of words. he knows immediately how many letters there are in it and how to spell it backward or in the regular way. It is so, too, with sentences. He knows at once how many words and let ters in any sentence that may be sug, gested, and states the numbers prompt. ly as soon as the words are uttered. Me. Kevitt can also distribute the type back. ward as fast as forward. In the left hand spelling there is no theory oi sound to aid him, as in very many instan. ces the letters spell nothing at all and cannot be pronounced, so there is nc accounting for his ability to spell in that way except to conclude that it is the re. suit of gift-a peculiar faculty of re markedly quick mind
 There is no particular advantage in all this as far as can be discovered, but it curiosity and rare one, and if any, body thinks it isn't hard to do let him try to acquire it.-Sants Fe New-Mex, ican.

UTAH,S NEW TEMPLE.
An Imposing Edihcs Being Built in wilderness.

The construction of the grand temple of worship now being erected by the Mormon church at Manti, Utah, is being pushed ahead with as large force Of workmen as convenience will permit, and the walls of the building are begin ming to loom up and are covered with scaffolding and desricks. We learn from Dr. D. Wilkins, who has just returned from a trip out in the Manti country, that the temple Is being constructed of white l--e,astnna The hnildinQ IS sitn= Rted on the top of mountain, n spur Of the Wasatch range, that extends out into the town of Manti, and is called by tine people of Utah The Mountain of the Lord"
 The foundation of the temple is 62 feet above the level of the road, and Is set in solid rock; ghe top of the mountain hay ing been excavated and removed, making 1t level. It is 35 feet i'll width and 172 feet IS length. From the ground to the spire will be & feet in height. There will be two towers, one at the east and one at the west corner of the building. The tower at the east corner will be 179 feet in height, while that at the west cor ner will be ten feet lower. They are 30 feet square at the base. There are four terrace walls around the mountain in front of the temple, which will average about r feet in height and are about 900 feet long, and in all contain about 2400 cords of rock, as at present built, and 5000 yards of debris have been exca- vated and hauled away. The stairway fIom the road to the upper terrace is 6S feet and will contain l32 stone steps Is feet in width. In back of the terrace will be filled with rich soil to the top of the stone work; trees and shrubbery planted. | The tops of the terraces are to be orna- mented by neatly dressed and cut stone, and statues will be placed at various and appropriate places. The water to supply the temple will be brought in wooden pipes from a spring about a mile and a quarter east of the temple, back in the mountain, and fall of 79 feet to the reservoir, and 100 feet from the reser- yoir to the lower terrace. The whole side of the mountain is to be planted with trees and flowers, and the crystal stream poured forth by the little spring, as it winds it's way down the side of the mountain, will travel from root to root, quenching their thirst, thus assisting the trees to produce their foliage in spring, the flowers to bloom and the grass to grow. The building Of the temple was commenced five years ago and has been worked on ever since, and it is expected that 1t will be Tn such con. dition in about three years that 1t can be used, but 1t is estimated that it will take fully five years to complete the building. The building will be 5O feet in haight and tha excavation at thr east end of the basement is 46 feet in depth. It was President Young's inten- ton when he ordered the erection of the temple that it should be the grsndesi and most imposing structure on the American continent, and all indications point to such being the case.

Hill says he is "pained and grieved." |" and We don't doubt it. The Independ- ent movement threatens the supremacy of the Bourbon party, and if that be overthrown an end Of Mir.

Inspired to Marry.
IFrnn the E stnn S.ar.l

Captain John B. Sykes, who, for sev. eral years past, has been running North Carolina cypress shingles to the Chop, tank landings, some time ago became greatly enamOred of young lady of St Michaels, and seemed determined tc marry her, willing or unwilling. She did everything that lady could do pru. dently tO get rid of his persistent atteIi- tons, and finally had to call on her bro. ther for protection. As the Captain could not be coaxed or driven off from his pursuit, he had a writ issued for him and he was committed to jail to keep the peace. A gentleman in Easton offered to go his bail if he would promise not to trouble the young lady any more. He peremptorily refused; and went to jail; but, not finding the jail as comfortable a place as the cabin of his vessel, he changed his mind, gave bail, and left for Baltimore. After reaching the city he changed his mind back again, and wrote to his bail that he vas coming back and must see the lady at all risks. He ar rived here Sunday morning, his bail sur rendered him, and he Is now in iail. He says he Is inspired to marry the lady, and must do II.

WITH school population of 211, ,237, California has a school attendance of 105,54l. The cost of instruction is, per capita, S22.23. The total school receipts of the State last year were S3,6S0.S16.25, and the expenditures were S3,047, ,605.02. At the recent meeting of the California Teachers Association one speaker de clared that the great aim of teachers seemed to be to cultivate rapidity in committing and glibness ID recitation. The smart boy of the school, he continued, who bolts his daily meals of knowledge, is pampered and flattered. while the plod ding boy, who takes time to masticate his, IS twitted for his slowness, and is happy if he escapes cuffs for his stupid ity. In our methods of teaching there Is too much of the mechanical, automatic and formal. Dead. formal teachers, make lifeless pupils, lifeless recitations and hfeless schools. Why the bright boys so rarely illuminate the world after leaving school was query which the speaker answered thus: "These school room ge- niuses have obtained scholastic edu- cation without obtaining what it should be the aim to give, namely: the ability to think their own thoughts and readiness to apply the knowledge"
