The hallway Boom In Arkansas.

Beebe Special to st. Louis Giebe-Democrat 18th,
The interest manifested in railroad mat
tiers at this place the last few days, and the
positive shape matters are assuming in re-
gard TO three new roads from Beebe, are ele-
waiting us above the level of mere railroad
station. Articles of association have been
filed for the Conway, Beebe and Des Arc
railway, the Beebe and Clarendon railway.
and the Beebe and Fort Smith railway. Ali
oil these roads run through the richest parts
OF the State, where immense amounts of
cotton, corn, wheat, fruit ETC., are 10 be
moved to the ceHters of trade, and sections
that are fast filling in with men of money
and muscle, aud who must have such outlets
Tor their products as these roads will give.
Abe articles OF association OF the FIRST men.
sioned OF these roads were aled BY Colonel
). Robinson and other citizens of CONWAY
and Des Arc. Articles of association of the
Beebe and Clarendon road were fled by T.
>. Neylon, G. A. Stockton, John Williams
ana other citizens OF Beebe, and yesterday
the surveying party started out on this line
from this place Tor Clarendon, which place
they expect to 7. ach in about four weeks
Inns llue ls expected to be run in connection
with the ParamoTe road, and it is expected
that as soon as he engineer returns from
Clarendon that he will be started on another
new line, stretching out toward the north
western part OF Arkansas, the great grain
and fruit-growing part of our State. The
Beebe and Fort Ssiith road is ch artered by
the managers oil the st. Louis, Iron Noun
tain and Southern railroad, and is expected
TO be built very soon, and will, with the
other roads mentioned, do much toward de-
yeloplng this part of Arkansas.

PERSONAL AND GENERAL

The mnch-talked-about case of the Bates.
vile and Brinkley Railroad Company q. the
ST. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern was
taken up in the Chancery Court at Little
Rock Friday, and promises to consume sew
eral days time OF that court.
The transportation problem. SAVE The Pn;y.
sray A9e, Is full Of perplexities and apnarent
contradictions. Thus the question II difsrs
entIal freight rates rests on the claim that
the shorter routes are entitled TO charga lass
than the others; while in fixing passenger
rates the representatives, Of the longer lines
claim that they ought TO be allowed To
charge lower rates than their more HIGHLY
favored competitors. There is reason in both
positions, although at first sight they appear
contradictory.
In the United States Court at Little Rock
Friday afternoon, suit was brought by Abra-
ham Bloom and his wife, Hannah Bloom. of
New Orleans, against the Hot Spring, rail
rood, for $500 damages. 1t il charged in
the complaint that Mrs. Bloom, in August.
1881, was elected from the train at night. in
the woods, eight miles from any station bv
Conductor james Graves. 1t is further al.
legged that Mrs. Bloom had ticket good for
passage over the road. Collins & Balch, Of
Little Rock, are the attorneys. Graves il
the conductor who elected Char les GalIina.
of this city, and who recovered damages. He |
Is not now in the employ of the company.
The Mobile and Ohio road, which has had
a trying history, is now evidently coming TO
better days under the prudent management
OF President Duncan and his associates
While the earnings Of last year, owing 10 |
bad crops and floods, were somewhat less |
than in the preceding year, and the expenses |
were necessarily increased, yet the directors
were able, alter meeting the interest on The
MORTGAGES, to pay two per cent interest on
me hrst preferred interest and sinking fund
debentures. The road was last year ex.
tended twenty-five miles to Cairo. il is in
good physical condition, the crop prospects
are excellent, and the net earnings for the
current year promise very large increase
over any past year.

The Japanese are making very rapid
progress in education. 1t had its begin
ming not quite eleven years ago. In 1872
not less than So, 900 government schools
were established, conducted on European
principles, the average of schools being
to every $40 inhabitants In two years
the number of schools were augmented
until the pupils exceeded 400, 600 If at
the commencement of this wonderful
educational movement there was some
confusion, owing to the incapacity of
European teachers and the want of inter
change of language, these troubles
passed away. The number of pupils i'm
mediately after 1873 rapidly increased,
until in 1877 in the seven great
school districts nearly 81, 600 male teach
ers, with 1875 female teachers, were
educating 1862, 410 male and 543, 76S
female pupils There is, then, an ele-
mentary school for every 1,345 inhabit-
ants and for every Al square miles of the
empire. Taking the total children in
Japan of an age to go to school as 5, 251, :
8O7, II per cent. derive the benefits of in
struction. Leaving out of consideration
the higher branches of knowledge, only
derivable from special schools, the effort
seems to tend toward the education of
the masses. Looking at the expenses,
some five years ago, with an appropriation
of 81 or, 974, the cost of education was
10s., say 81 so per pupil. The liberality
of the japanese, and their firm belief in
the great advantages to be derived from
this general education, become manifest
when it is learned that in five years about
SIS, 100000 of our money has been be-
slowed by private individuals for the
school fund, together with a great deal
of valuable real estate. Two years ago
there were $4,000 pupils and, from
such accounts as may be gathered last
year the total number was near 3, OO0, 900.
There is one point which, in an educa-
tional sense, requires correction, and
that is in regard to the Japanese girls, as
the number of these is very small in pro-
portion to the BOYS.
