Ing assured by hls mother that # was | good, swallowed 1t under protest Then he went out Co play, it being a holiday. and hunted up some other spirits hke himself, and they all set out to enjoy themselves. In pursuance of plan then and there formed, one of them went home and got Bridget to give him some flour; R second went to & neighbofing
 bakery and bought a yeast-cake, and
 others contributed salt, butter. and var lous other articles of tue sort that seem

THE CITIZEN Is in receipt of a view of the exposition buildings, in which Louis vile, Kentucky, will make a great effort to surpass anything Of the kind that has been held in the 5 uth. The exposition will not be for any special industry, bu. will include tue varied products of the country, and the purposes for which It will be held cannot be better ssated than by quoting Bishop Dadley's response to the toast ''Kentucky and New Yark," on his recent visit to that city Gs a member of the exposition committee. Ii Is as follows:
 He said be had come to speak a fez hearty. earnest words in behalf of tn enterprise he and his friends had in hand, which they believed to be for thc benefit of their people, to be an Gid to fraternity and the union between both sections of the country. He had come to ask the men Of New York to heb them celebrate the birthday of their boz born nineteen years a.o-the new south which has now nearly reached mans estate. They believed the exposition would bring gre -t good to the people oi Kentucky and ol the south. 4 hundred thousand people will come to Louisville who have never heard such a band as that of Gilmore, who have never looked upon a work of art. It will be an edu- eating influence which cannot but sow seed which will bear gooGfruit."
 The people of New York as well as of the west and north will give the exposi- tion at Louisville a hearty support, and it will, without doubt, prove one of the most important exposItions of tue ye-r.

Prospectors have for years looked with longing eyes to- ward the Sierra Madres, but the dreaded ApachCs have prevented anything like thorough and systematic prospecting. The country is rough and the mountains are high but it Is rather better watered than on this sile of the line, with sufIi- cient timber for all practical purposes, and with plenty of grass for stock. Tombstone or Fairbanks, on the New Mexlco and Arizona railroad. will likely be the Ouifitting point for the Sierra Madres. and We should not be at all sur prised to see a line Of daily coaches put on leading into that country from one of the points above named within the next sixty days.

EApS' SHIP RAILROAD

From time immemorisl,i it has been the
 custom of the human race 10 decry any
 new or startling invention, or departure
 from known rules of science or art. IL
 Is scarcely necessary, at this late date
 to recount the shameful abuses of Cali
 leo, for those great innovations in physi- cal science which have since added such lustre tO his memory. nor the ridiclle that was thrown at Columbus when he announced the idea of a new hemis- phere. It Is then but natural at this late date there should be found those who doubt the feasibility of Captain Eads' proposed Tehauntepec ship raIl- road. That it can be built, and that ships can be transported across the mar TOW neck of land that divides the At laDtic from the Pacific ocean, there can be little doubt; but tbat it will prove a success Is quite another proposition. The magnitude of large ocean steamers or full rigged ships cannot be fully com prehended as they float upon the water; t is on y after their immense cGrgoes are laid upon the docks that their ca- pacity can measurably be realized. In order to make a ship railroad a success, It not only becomes necessary to move a ship, bat move 1t with all it's cargo in tact, Captain Eads thinks 1t can be done; other equally good engin eers are Of the opinion that it cannot be successfully accomplished. It Is well known that a ship is capable of moving immense caryoes, when properly loaded, and afloat. But in order to do 1t, the ship rests upon the water and every inch of bottom bears its pro- portion of weight, which enables the vessel to safely ride the waves. But when a ship is taken from the water. with all its great weight, and placed upon a frame work prepared upon cars to receive IL, such an adjustment of bearings cannot be had. But the doubt fdl engineers tell us that this is not the worst feature likely to attend the sys- tem; they tell us that 1t wIll not be pos sib!e tp construct such road or roads and so adjust the easements upon which a ship must res: as tD prevent the pos sIble w-enehins of a vessel, which might seriously weaken and possibly render it unfit for ssrvIcs. If these differences of opinion h regard to the system could be settled short Of the expenditure of S50,- OnO)0 as proposed by Captain Eads, then there might be found men who would be willing to make the experi- ment; but when 80 much money is re- quired before i; can be known whetherit VII prove a success or failure, It hardly seems possible that sufficient capital can be secured to make the test. Yet 1t is given ou, that a company of English capitalists with plenty Of funds to prose- cute the work is in process of formation, and what Is more, work has actually begun.

 TIE Silver Belt in discussing the question of building a railroad from Tucson to Globe, says that such road "has the elements, geographically and financially, of a correct scheme and a sound business proposition but 1t wonld have the road of broad gauge, and continued through to Calabasas. The Belt gives us to understand that If We build a narrow gauge road and neglect the Calabasas connection. Ben son VIII prodt by Tucson's folly. II the editor oft Star has enough intelli- Cence to study railroad map of this continent for a little while, and enough honesty to favor a good scheme, and the editor of the CITIZEN will use the com men sense winch his paper shows that he possesses, they wlll be doing the people of their own burg and this, service" We are glad to receive good advice from any quarter, especially from the Belt, which hitherto has not favoFed a connection with Tucson, or at least not in that spirit we had looked for. We are elld to learn the Belt is coming around all right. The CITIZEN would like to see the road built as mapped out by the Beli; We believe that it would be- come a paying road, and would be the shortest and best TO 1te from the East to Gugymas, and if the managers of the Mineral Belt road construct their line to Globe, and it now looks as though they would, there wall be no trouble in ex- tending the line from that place on to Tucson, either by securing the narrow gauge line, or by building a through hGe of their own.
 The editor of the CITIZEN long years ago learned that a newspaper 'could not build railroads" but it also learned about that time, that newspaper could do much towards bringing such enter prises properly before the public, and show up their prospective advantages and possibilities in their true light, and Tn such way as tO induce others to take hold Of them and build them. The Belt has doubtless learned, that the gen. eral public is about as well posted on railroad questions as newspapers, and that unless good reasons are furnished for the construction of a railroad, or the adoption Of any other measure a news paper may advocate, it cannot hope to influence the public. We cannot say what shape things will take here yet awhile; but We have no doubt that we shall succeed in securing all the rail roads which the best interests of the country demand. The CITIZEN believes in the Mineral Belt road and is in favor of it, even fl 1t only comes to Globe, as every mile of paying road built in the Territory addsjus so much to its wealth, and indirectly must help every other section; besides 1t would be of great benefit to the people in Globe, and would help develop the central portion of Arizona.

In his official report, General Crook says. "I have strong hopes of being able to clear ,he mountains of the last 1s them," meaning the Apaches. Tlere
 is not a particle of doubt about General Jr1ok's ability to clear the mountains if allowed to pursue his own course, and We trust the War Department will
 allow him to do so. There Is no reason vly 1t should not be done now. We already have their women and children, anl there are but two things left for the renegade savlges to do, and it will not be long before We shall know which horn of the dilemma they will take. They will either make terms with Gen eral Crook, as soon as possible or they will go on the varpath with the detemination to fight so the bitter end.
