Puts It Strongly,

Commenting upon Indian crimes recently committed in this Territory, that staunch friend and able advocate of white civilization and the development of the latent resources of the Frontier States and Territories, the Cincinnati R1lro1d Record, talks fright out in meeting as follows:
 It is a standing disgrace to civilized hu- manity that the several handsfull of organ ized banditti known as the Apache tribe of Indians should be allowed to traverse and lay desolate so extensive and valuable tract of country as is at present roamed over by those cowardly and despicable savages For bravery, noble bearing, splendid physique, el- oQuence, wisdom in council, or talent in the art of war, we may have respect and admira- tion for a savage-a Tecumseh. an Oceola or Black Hawk,-but for the sneakiDg, cow ardly hounds of Apaches, without the first spark of humanity in their nature, utterly soulless, and without instincts except those possessed in common with the wolf, which brute they most resemble in their natural characteristics, we say it is disgrace to the civilization of the nineteenth century that they are allowed to cumber the earth Eng land did not hesitate to crush out Theodore whose crimes against her citizens were as the small dust of the balance compared with the iniquity of these 'untutored sons of the forest'-theSe noble red men,. Strange what bowels of compassion we have for these gentle savages' that we should treat, and feast, and quaker them continually, while we ignore the suffering, the hardsbips and death of innocent children, intelligent women and the brave and hardy pionesrs of our own race We guarantee that no other nation on ba face of ba aarth trnnl5 fpi ta it for nun moment except our own. For fifteen years these outrages have been repeated almost daily, and the cry of innocent blood for ven- geance on these 'hell-born hounds,' has con- tinually sounded in the ears of the American people and high Heaven; if our government is too weak or pusllanimous to grant it, it would be mercy that the whole infested land should be sunk in the bottom of the Pacific ocean, rather than the disgrace or in ability of failing to protect the lives and property of citizens should be longer propa- gated.
 The above 'covers the ground" The Record knows the Apaches ''like a book" A broth or of one of its editors was murdered here by the eowardiy wrstches, several years ago. Would that the entire Eastern press would take the same view of the case as does the Record. It would not then be long until Government would be forced, by public opin- ion, to send enough troops here, at once, to finish the job of subduing the Apaches, in a year or two, and thereby save many valuable lives that will yet surely be taken by the sayages, as we'll as millions of dollars yet to be spent in spasmodc, puny efforts to con- quer them. Why not do as England has done, and as France has done in Algeria?

N THE Paris Comic Finanee sent one of its editors to Memphis to look into the celebra- ted affair of the Trans Continental Pacific {; but he mistook the route and went to Mem phis, Egypt, and he sends to his paper the following telegram: "No' railway, nothing but monuments in ruins. Beautiful country! Railway necessary! Communication very difficult Croeodiles innumerable!m The Frenchman was not much worse mistaken than was the Convention. Both mistook the true route for a Southern Trans Continental Railroad. Were he to take trip over the Memphis and San Diego route, he would sure ly telegraph something like the following "No railway; nothing but sand-hills. Dry country. Railway necessary to carry water tokeep it from burning up. Lizards innumer- able"

REPARTEE.-A few years ago, while Judge Barker was presiding over the Supreme Court at Lockport, x. Y juryman was absent from his seat, all the others being occupied. A dog, looking for his master very quietly took the vacant place. The Judge address ing Hon. A. P. Lanning, of Buffalo, said, "You see, Mir. Lanning, that the jurymen's seats are all occupied. Are you ready to proceedl' The distinguished pleader raised his glasses to his eyes, and, after brief survey of the jury box, made the reply, "Your honor, that fellow might do for Judge, but l should hate to trust him for a juryman." The Judge joined heartily in the laugh that followed.

The old Hymns.

Did you ever know amy person who
was brought up Oh the good old Zion
hymns, whom they ever failed to move
to the foundation when heard? The
feet moving on UnhOly erTands lingeT on
their way past the church door, as the
melody floats out upon the night air.
That man-whO has wasted life, and en-
ergy, and talent, which might have
blessed mankind to reap only the whirl-
wind-he is back again with his little
head upon his mothers lap while
she sings that hymn, which WiIl
never grow old, about ''the beautiful
river.n His eyes mOistened as he thinks
how Dained she would be, were she Hv-
ing to know him now. The hymn ceases,
and the low benedictiOn follows, and
as the wOrshippers emerge he recOllectS
himself, and with an impatient pshaWi
passes on. What! he moved at a "cOn-
VenticIe hymn?' He who for years has
never crossed the threshold of a church,
He, who believes neither in prayers nor
priests, Bibles nor Sundays? He, who
has "OUtgrOwn all that?" All! but he
doesn't. He can't OutgFOW tit is
there. Tt will come, whether he desires
it or not. Come, in spite of all his eff
forts to laugh or reason it away. Come,
though he live in open deTisiOn and
mOckery of that religion whose divine
precepts he cannot efface from his mind.
Come, as it did to John Randolph, who,
after years of atheism, and VvOrIdliness,
and ambition, left on record that ''the
only men he ever knew well and ap-
preached closely, whom he did not dis
cover to be unhappy, were sincere. be
levers of the Gospel, who cOnfOrmed
their lives, as far as the nature of man
can permit, to its precepts." Soften"
he says, ''the religious teachings of his
were banished wholly by bus
mess or pleasure; but after q while they
came more frequently, and staid longer,
until at last they were his first thoughts
on waking, and his last before going to
sleep" Said he, 81 could not Danish

Cunning as Jhe Fox,

A certain jagare, who was keeDiug
watch in the forest, saw. a fox cautiously
making his approach toward the stump
of an old tree. When sufficiently near,
he took a'high- and determined iumD on
to the top Oft, and, after looking around
awhile, hoped to the ground again.
After Reynard had repeated this knight
ly exercise several times, he went his
way; but presently returned to the spot
bearing pretty large and heavy piece
of dry oak in his mouth, and thus bur
dened, and as it would seem for the pUr-
pose Of testing his vaulting powers, he
renewed his leaps on the stump. After
a time, however, and when he found
that weighted as he was, he could make
the ascent with facility, he desfsted
from further efforts, dropped the wood
from his mouth and cOiling himself ND
on the top of the stump, remained mo-
tiOnless as if dead. At the approach Of
evening, an old sow and her progeny.
five or six in number, issued from
thicket, and pursuing their
usual track, passed near the stump i'm

as they neaTed his ambush, Michel, with
the rapidity of thought, darted down
from his perch upon one of them, and i'm
the twinkling of an eye bore it i'm tri-
lmph to the fastness he had so PROV
prepared beforehand. Con-
founded at the Shrieks Of her offspring.
-he old sow returned in fury to the

A Remarkable Encounter.

A remarkable though plausible story
comes from BOdega Bay, California, of
a terrific battle between sperm whale
and Il number of swOrd-fsh, which re-
suited in the defeat of the whale. The
fight was witnessed by farmer pIOw-
ing in his field near the coast only few
miles north of the "GOlden Gate.p The
sea was smooth, and the first Indication
of the conflict was COmmOtiOn in the
water nearly amile from the shore, but as
the cOmbattants rapidly approached the
land their movements became distinctly
visible. The swOrd-fish were five in
number; thewhale, although displaying
great activity, was no match for them.
In making their thrusts into the sides of
the whale, the swOrd-tish kept clear Of
his tail, one blow from which would have
been fatal tOeither OfthCm. with mad
dened fury the whale struck right and
left, then dived to escape his tormentOrs;
but they followed quickly, and soon
brought him to the surface. Blood was
seen spirting from deep gashes i'm his
sides. The contest lasted nearly one
hour, when the whale ctUnghimsclfupon
some low rocks aud died. Many persons
from the neighhoriug village of PctclU-
ma went out tO view the carcass. 10 was
fifty to sixty feet i'm length, and there
were gashes two feet long and six feet
deep in its sides.

a Companion Of Washington yet Alive.

Captain John Webster, who has reach
ed the advanced age of 1O4 years, was
born in Dublin i'm 2765, and came to this
country i'm lTgS. Soon after his arrival
he was appTenticed in Georgetown to
the firm of Noble and Crabtree, ship
owners and chambers. Alter serving
his time he became Captain Of a vessel,
and followed the sea for seventy-five
years. He was q schOOlmate Of both
John and Charles Wesley, and their
friend for years; is strict follower Of
Wesley still, and speaks of him with
the greatest affection. Having some
business with the family he was visit
ing, called to see him and in answer to
my ring he came to the door himself
This being the first time / had seen him,
imagine my surprise when he replied
to my question Of "HOW old are yOU?7
cone hundred and four years y He
must have noticed the strange look my
face bore, for, smiling, he said, "I have
nv proofs in black and white" 1t SEEM
ed to me as if some grave had given up
its dead, and for some minutes | could
do no more than stare the old man in
the face and mutteT Can it be? Said he:
"I knew Daniel Webster well; have
walked arm i'm arm with him many
time; have cOnversed with Washington
time and again. Ny wife died five years
ago, aged dninety-eight years. My eldest
son is over seventy-fOur, and have one
daughter living in this city over sixty"
The old gentleman is in excellent spirits
and does not seem to tire of COnVersa-
ton. He has his second sight, and can
read writing if plainly written as well
as the papers, without the aid Of specta-
cIes. His home is at the Sailors Snug
Harbor, from which place he comes Un-
attended to visit his friends in the city.
To have seen this old man and talked
with him, seems to give one new lease
of life-tO fill one with noble purposes,
so that ones end may be like this noble
follower of the Master, to whose praise
he gives all the moments Of his latest
years. To those who would like to see
this old landmark that will soon have
passed away, he extends cordial invi-
tation to visit him at the Sailors Snug
HarbOr, Staten Island,-SdH0rs' lEnga-
zine.
