ADnrAXA.-Geneml Ord. in his report,

A DnENMA.-General Ord. in his report,
says "hostilities in Arizona are kept up with
. view ofprotecting inhabitants, most of whom
are supported by the hostlities;' which sim
gular state of things grows out of the fact
that almost the only paying business the
white inhabitants have is supplying the
troops" This is q dilemma indeed! 1t raises
the question whether it would not be prefer
able to let the Apaches have the country If
the only inducement the people have to re-
main there is to make money off those who
are protecting them, Uncle Sam must be en-
gagged in losing speculation General Ord
has undoubtedly hit the right nail on the head
1t accounts for the little progress which has
been made in that country in reducing the
Apaches to subsection. Somebody is making
money out of that war. Like certain ex con-
gresham from California, during the rebel
lion, who hoped to God the war would last as
long as he lived, for he was doing well enough
some of the officers, civil and military have
struck good thing in Arizona, and have been
holding on it for several years. The Apaches
are stronger now than they were twenty years
ago, and cover more ground. So long as the
business of subduing Indians is entrusted to
specializing braggarts, of which Price is a type,
the Government will continue 10 pay from five
to ten thousand dollars for every scalp taken
Arizona needs an officer like General Crook
in command. He would soon stop up this
Government leak with dead Apaches.

THE NEXT PACIFIC RAILE"AD.-Work has
been commenced on the Pacific end OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad Able engineers are
in the field. and large tracts of land have been
bought along the route; supplies have been pur-
chase d, materials contracted for, and workmen
engaged There are such obstacles on this
route as were met and overcome on the Central
ami Union Pacific roads. The climate permits of
work being done every day in the year. through
out its whole extent. The growing business of
the Pacific coast requires additional overland
facilities, especially with those portions of the
Union not now i'm direct intercourse with the
Pacific slope, and the experiences obtained in
the construction of existing roads will be brought
to bear with increased effect upon the Memphis,
FL Paso and Gila River Railroad. IL has been
estimated by competent men that the cost of
construction will be nearly $50 100 900 less than
for the Central and Union Pacific roads.

of this company have added another vessel to

four in all. The ships John Gibson and f.. C.

both i'm frst-rate order. and are in nearly as gooI
condition as when first launched. When requi-
site, either of these vessels can make the round
TRIP To New York in a week, and their time from
New York here averages from - to 4j hours
which Is good time for trip of 500 miles. The

The Death OF George Peabody.

phiianthropirt. George Peabody. The list OF

leges, for the Pea .ody Institute, Baltimore, for
library ~ Georgetown, ID. e., and lastly, bit
not least, his great donation for education in the
South, reaches in the aggregate tosabout ten
millions OF dollars.
Mr.. Peabody was born in Dangers, Mas,
February Is, is96. He was the son OF poor pa
rents. and his early education was acquired in
the district schools. He was placed as assistant
to a grocer in his native town at the age OF n.
clerk for his elder brother, who had opened a
dry goods shop there. This establishment being
burned down, he went with an uncle to George
town, ID. C., where, for the following two years.
the business was conducted in his name. though
minor. In 1914 he withdrew from the business,
and became partner Of Mr. Elisha Riggs, inthe
Wholesale dry goods trade. Mr.. Riggs furnished
the necessary capital and entrusted the manage
I'm the early part Of the Georgetown period of
his life occasion arose to call forth other aual-
ties than those for which Mr.. Peabody has be-
come celebrated. The British feet had ascend
ed the Potomac, and were menacing the Capi-
tai. The young merchant, though he had not yet
reached the age at which military service could
be exacted, jOineda volunteer company of ar
tillery, and soon found himself on duty at For
Warburt0n. which commanded the river ap
prOach to Washington. The expected attack
was however not made, and Mr.. Peabody re-
turned to the peaceful ayocatiOns OF commerce.
The next year the dry goods house was re-
moved from this District to Baltimore. There
1t attracted large business, and i'm 1922 branch
houses were established in New York and Phila-
delphia. Mr.. PeabOdy's first visit to Europe
was i'm ls2I, going to buy goods. In 1929, MIR.
Riggs retired, and Mr.. Peabody became senior
partner i'm the house. In 1881 he took up his
permanent residence in England and in 1S43
having Withdrawn from the firm OF Peabody,
Riggs & Co., he established himself i'm London
as a merchant and banker. His exertiOns are
said to have contributed greatly to maintaining
the confidence in American responsibility which
had well nigh failed in the disastrous period OF
1854, and his repeated and important favOrs i'm
this respect to the State of Maryland and the
country, were gratefully acknowledged, but he
refused all compensation tor them.
OF Mr.. PeabOdy's immediate relations we be-
lieve only one brother now survives him-Mr.
Jeremiah Peabody, who resides at GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, and for whom and his descendants the de-
ceased made munificent provision several years
