THE LORD BOND ROBBERY.
One Million Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars Worth OF Bonds RESTORED.


The Lord bond robbery, which created so
much excitement at the time of its commi ssion,
for months past has almost been forgotten by
the public; but yesterday a new phase in the
affair occurred, which will no doubt be the
cause of cons siderable comment in certain
circles for some time to come. 1t appears that
during the past year Detective Elder and Cap
tain Jourdan secured portions of New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylva-
mia, Maine, and Canada to ferret out the where
abouts OF persons connected with the rob-
berry, and they succeeded in their searchings
in arIesting Charles Pettengill, Charles
Howard, John Stewart, w. A. Babcock and
John Lynch, and recovering $500, 900 worth of
the bonds stolen. Last week these officers,
asCertaning that prominent broker in this
country had a large quantity of the stolen bonds
in his possession, forthwith had him indicted by
the Grand Jury. This party ard, it is said,
another broker who does not reside in the
United States, no doHbt becoming alarmed at
the aspect affairs were assuming, and desirous
of clearing their skirts as fan as they were able
of participation in the robbery, yesterday sent
TO Mr.. Lord $l,200,000 worth of the bonds
stolen from him, the owner thereby recovering
all the money he had lost with the exception OF
about 100000 in seven-thirties and skies oi
1881. The parties concerned are said to be
respectable" }" but it would be matter of great
public interest could 1t be known who these par.
ties are, how they came into possession of the
bonds, and why they have kept them for so lone
time from from their rightful owner.-N. Y

AT recent wedding in Detroit, the bride
groom was called on for song. He cheerfully
promised to comply, and said he would give
his friends a new version of "Hunkadori." !"
On taking the paper from his vest pocket, it
proved to be-not slip from newspaper, as
he had calculated, but a greenback which he
had intended for the clergyman's fee. Imagine
the bridegroom's CONSERVATION at the trick he
had unwittingly played on the clergyman; and
latter when he found only new version of
"Hunkadori," /" when he wanted some money
for marketing next day 1t is a well-known
rule of etiquette for the marriage fee to be
given and received quietly, without examina-
tiOn.

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.

Indian Demonstrations and Capture of
Cattle at Fort DOdge-Pursuit OF a Party
Of KiOwas-COIOradO Scalp Hunters In
the Field.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kansas, June PA letter
from Fort Dodge, Kansas, on the Santa Fe road,
says that on the 30th ult. a band of Indians,
numbering 150, led by Satanta, chief OF the
Kiowas, who lately made treaty with General
Hancock, dashed up within 400 yards of the
fort and captured so horses belonging to Com
pany B, 9TH Cavalry.
Only two men were on guard, one of whom
escaped but the other had five arrows shot into
his body. The garrison rescued him in dying
condition. The Indians escaped with the stock.
During the same night two men came into the
Fort, closely pursued by Indians, and stated
that the Kiowas were numbering settlers and
stealing stock thirty miles west. Company /,
37th Infantry, were at once put into siX-mule
wagons and sent in pursuit, but up to the 10th
inst. nothing had been heard from them.
The railroad employees west of Fort Harker
were attacked and driven in.
Many Mexican trains on the Santa Fe road are
in great danger.
The letter states that the border settlers are
fleeing to the military forts, leaving property
behind them.
The citizens of Colorado have raised large
fund, and offer $40 each for Indian scalps. Over
200 men have taken the field in small parties to
obtain scalps.

Interesting from Mexico.

. New ORLEANS, Jan a.
By letters dated December 2Sth, at the
City of Mexico, from the best informed
authorities in the Imperial Courts, we
have the following intelligence:
The French troops are descending en-
masse to Vera Cruz. Gen. Castlenau
leaves the city some time in February
Gen. Castenau and the French Minis
ter went to the Emperor at Puebla. and
obtained promise from him to abdicate
in twenty days. ltappears that the an
swer of the Liberal Chiefs to the invita-
ton sent to them for co operation leaves
no hope that Congress can be held, and
the Emperor must abdicate. In the
meantime his Empire is governed by his
Confessor, Pere Fischer. Marquee and
Miramon are seizing men and horses
wherever they can lay their hands on
them, in order to fill the quota Of the
army. The Liberals are all around the
city, Americans are desirous of getting
away, and are taking ont their passports.
The Liberals must get possession of the
Ni'N bNi'iN i'H- iHc IltNcll- pilt lS tiit
last effort of reactionists, and it is feared
it will be desperate one Late letters
sent by messenger extraordinary left the
Capitol December 29th. This is impor-
tant and leaves no doubt that the French
will be on the coast ready to embark
some time before they were expected,
and that Maximilan will leave the coun-
try to the possession of the Liberals.-
The appearance Of the forces from allVhe
Northern Mexican States, and their cd
vance in force upon the capitol NJ ast
soon result in its capture. The City OF
Mexice is strategically indefensible. The
newly appointed Generals are conscript-
ing by force at Puebla and other towns
Monanda has issned call to the young
men of the City of Mexico, appealing to
their patriotism to join the ranks of the
Liberals and obey no longer the ordelr
of foreign despots
