D., astronomer of the Canadian department, under date Of Ottowa, September last q announced through the Canadian press that a great storm would occur in March next; that 1t would be first felt in the Northern Pacific and would appear in the Gulf of Mexico on the night of the Ith, and being dei1ected by the Rocky mountains, would cross this mer- idian from the west at noon, Sunday, March II, 1883. No vessel. whatever her dimensions, will be safe out of har- bor, and none of sEaall tonnage can sur Yive the tidal wave and fury of this tenn pest, as the wInd will blow from the southeast.

A REFORM IN THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM.

Hon. J. F. Knapp. desiring to secure an expression from the members of the bar of this county in relation to im- provemeuts in the judiciary system, has requested the members Of the bar to meet at the office of Earl, Smith & Stephens, for the purpose of consider Ing the subject and suggesting the nec- essary legislative action. Mir. Knapp and the other representatives of Pima county desire to know the views of these constituents on this important question: l. k a matter Of considerable moment, and as our readers are well aware, has bsen discussed in these columns edi- torially and through interviews with va rious members of the bar. The interest that the bar has manifested in this mat ter shows that they consider some change essential We hope that they will respond to this request from MT Knapp. We trust, also, that the bar in the other counties will take AAhN ftNAAth All AhC AAoNeCA oO that the Legislature can have the combined wisdom of the legal fraternity to direct their action. There is no doubt but what some improvement can be devised that will be in the interest of justice, secure the more speedy trial of criminals and the determination of civil cases. Now the laws delays often enable guilty parties to escape and keep innocent parties confined for months without trial, and civil cases make litigation expensive and tedious keep the titles to valuable property for months under legal clouds paralysing importani business interests to the great injury of the Territory. These matters should be remedied by the next Legislature and 70 the bar we look for the plan. The session of the Legisla- ture is short so that the more thoroughly questions of Legislation can be coasidsr-d bstore that body con venes the more likely is the action to be malicious and satisfactory.

FLORENCE Is twenty-si1 miles from the railroad. The stage fare Is s. If a railroad was built Ut the present max mum passenger tariff the fare would be S26 The Enterprise seems to desire the continuance of the stage regime, for it uses its influence against railroads. We are satisfied, however, that a major ity of the people of Florence would prefer to pay S2.60 for an hours ride in first class passenger car to paying 8 for half days ride in a stage coach over the alkai plain. The CITIZEN de- sires to see roads built to all the im- portant towns in the Territory, and it IS opposed to any legislation tending to prevent the extensions of railroad lines and create a monopoly for the roads al ready built. Three railroads are not enough for Territory of lI4,OOO square miles.

BBEvET BRIG. GENERAL F. W. HISKs, Of Milwaukee, a retired Colonel of the regular army who Is operating ID mines ln this Territory and was here during the last Indian outbreak, took occasion to write to the department his views as t. some of the causes that led to the want of confidence felt in the military here. The department has through Chsncey Mckeever, Acting Adjt Gen. eral, advised Gen. Kinks to mind his own business. Gen. Hinks is BOW one of the dear people whose views and wishes shoulder straps are not bound to respect. Here in Arizona it Is well known that what Gen. Hinks complain ed of Is largely true, but the military IS not subject to civilian criticism. Gen. Mckeever better write to the CITIZEN to mind its own business.

To reach Tombstone the public have to stage it from Contention. distance Of ten miles, payIng for the inestimable privilege Sl.50, and spending two long hours on the road. If they had rail road at the present maximum charge of ten cents mile, the public could travel inc same distance in half an hour for one dollar. We presume most intelli- gent persons would think the railroad an improvement, but the tone of me of the Tombstone papers lead LIS to con- clude that they desire the stage coach regime 10 continue.

A CHANCE FOR DISTINCTION.

The chief characteristic, perhaps, Of distinctiyely American character, Is the production Of the man for the opportu- nifty. From the earliest days of this wonderful Republic there has trans pired no social or political crisis that did not bring forth from oblivion the heroes. Our Washington was borne % lofty power and undying fame upon the wave of emergency, which forever bur jed from sight many deserving men whose opportunity was for death rather than distinction.
 In subsequent national disturbances the opportunity has always produced its men of genius, and a long list Of bright names are recorded upon its his tory's pages, to which the patriot point s with excusable pride as heroes worthy Of emulation.
 Net only does the opportunity pro- duce great men in these high spheres of action, but pre-eminence Is attained throughout the multitudinons walks of fife all about us. Lincoln, unaid- ed h great opportunity, might, aitii Grant, Sheridan and Sher- ular. existed in comparative ob- src,ii,. The Vanderbilts and oth- CT mouey kings, with less favorable opportunities might have been mere drudees in the struggle for existence. Guiteau had his Garfield; Edison the chainlng of the lightnings; Beecher his Elizabeth; Jesse James the railroad trains; Butler his strabismus and bifur- cated political accomplishment; Inger- soil his skepticism; George Francis Train his lunscy, and Dr. Mary Walker her trousers. Into a thousand spheres cai cotin- .ortunity ,ir. At has wrought gtgsaiils-'- or uotoriety.
 rnere exists, however, at the present time, a neglected opportunity for the achievement Of such grestness as will forever shed halo of glory around the head of him who accomplishes the diff cult task. We refer to a revision of the worlds history. The old stories have become too stale for this age of revision and reform. The diviGes have elimi- mated hell from sacred history, and tue time is ripe fer equally radical reforms in profane history. The coming genius with fertile imagination can place the present history of the world with the mythology of later years, and from the innermost depth of his minds panorama picture more interesting scenes to satisfy the industrious students thirst for knowledge. His artist might depict Cleopatra in a pullback with banged hair, and Antony in a pen-tail coat and sleek silk hat, en- towing mint iulep or smoking a Con- necticut cheroot. Similarly should the dust and cobwebs Of decaying antiquity be brushed from the records of the past and they be clothed in the becoming costumes of the present age.
 Here is good field for the man Of op- poTtunity, and this hint Is thrown out in the hope that aD improved Eli Perkins may arse and clothe dull and uninter- esting facts with attractive romance that make their perusal such pleasure that even the babies will cry for them.

Prescott Democrs,


 This mining district is comparstivel, unknown to the outside world. There are few people ID Prescott that know anything about the district, and up to within few months ago, little If any, thing was said In reference to this camp. Gradually # became known that there were great deposits of copper and lead in these parts. We have seen the con- per and lead specimens and they are really fine indications. The lodges are all large and low grade. This is what large companies prefer and they would rather have plenty in sight than rich razor blades" The copper veins are generally capped with magnetic iron oro-a good indication, so say the mlneralogists. The writer of this was recently Tn the district and looked over the large mines-principally those be- longing fo U. $. Jackson & Co. and Frederic MOrOney S Co. The former are developing the Pinafore mine and the latter have large vein of ten per cent. copper laid bare, also a fine lead bearing silver vein, with pay streak of at least seven feet acrOss-carrying at least 50 per cent. lead and going about S55 m silver. There IS natural road 10 The line of the A. < P +. R.-distance about fifty miles. There Is no doubt but extensive work will soon be prose ,uted m this camp and great deal of money taken out.
