SOME months ago, the Indjns about Camp Apache had acti' So badly that Major Green, Commanding that Post, felt it to be his duty to report that ex- treme punishment would be necessary bput and keep them on good behavior !; land since, we are credibly informed that he has seen still stronger reasons fer another report of iae same kind. We have not hesitated to criticise the Major with much freedom, but he will always find us ready to credit him with good public actions, and we consider that he has done valuable deed in truly making known the dis position of the Indian as he knows 1t by experience.
 In five days after Colyer gave Es- cult-ta-see-la's band hundreds, apA we believe thousands of dollarfS in presents at the pufic expssdse, some of them stole b hol s fgssm near the Post, which belonga d to the beef con- tractor, and for soDde weeks thereafter, if indeed yet, n9( Account could be had of the thieves Or property. We pre- sume Coiyer neglected to give them horses, and hence they stole them. It was a natural act for them to do. We hope to have the pleasure of learning that Major Green truly reported this work of the savages who are willing to accept bribes and despise the briber, and so right on with their atrocities.
 "THE Arizona Free Press" Is the title of a paper which appeared Sep tember 30, by D. A. Gordon, editor and proprietor. Location, Arizona City. Price, $5,OO per annum and $500 for six months. It is quite well printed and the few defects are promised to be remedied at an early day. The first number was printed in San Diego, be- cause transportation for the material was not available, but it is to be soon done in Arizona City. Under these circumstances, local matter and adver- tisements are necessarily scarce ill the initlal number. The paper is one column less in size than THE CITIZEN. If its performance shall equal its prom ises, 1t will deserve success, and we freely welcome the proprietor and his paper to Arizona and wish it may make him rich and happy.

pronouncing the words that are to bind
her TO Heaven, and show she has for
saken the pomp and vanities of the

is almost petrified at the sight of her (;
she has not raised her eyes vet, but the
nearer she comes the more her heart
beats, unconscious though she be of
his presence; she is now quite Fear the
altar step, and the kings arm chair is
quite close; she looks up, utters cry
of Joy, but it has been too much for
her; she staggers, the king rises,
stretches his arms and receives her in
time to prevent her falling; he looks
in her face, the eyes are closed, and
some red drops trickle on her lips.

The Battle Of the Pigs.

From the Bangor (Ae9 Whigs Dec 2s.
The following story was related to us
by a gentleman of undoubted veracity,
who vouches for its truth. In the vii
lage of Brewer, opposite this city, two
men carry on the livery business
pying stables situated about a quarter
of q mile apart, and each owns huge
Chester hog weighing nearly 400
pounds. The other day Mr.. A. 8 hog
broke out of his pen and strayed down
upon Mr.. B. s premises, and the latter,
mistaking the animal for his own, drove
him into the pen under his stable. Pre-
sently he heard a terrible rumpus, and
found that his own porcine had
resented the intrusion, and was giving
the hog he had turned in a terrible
thrashing. Separating the combatants,
Mr.. B. drove Mr.. As hog home and
he was secured in his own domain. The
next morning Mr.. B., upon going to
feed his hog, discovered him lying on
the ground In hisp pen utterly exhausted,
and his adversary of the previous day
industriously engaged in gnawing
hole in his back. 1t appears that after
Mr.. A s hog was driven home he medi-
tated upon the drubbing he had re-
ceived until he got mad all over, and,
breaking out in the night, he made his
way through the darkness to his adver-
sary's sty, smashed his way in, and pro-
ceeded to avenge his wrongs by nearly
killing his antagonist.

Your Majesty will forget, but I

And without letting her blush, Louis
XIV. showered kisses and caresses on
the daughter Of Eve who had forgotten
that unstained blood ran in her veins,
and gave herself mp entirely to dream
of love
The hours fitted away as they only
can for lovers, and the beautiful un-
known tore herself away from the arms
of her royal lover.
81 must leave your majesty nov-I
have already been too long,
"Cal me Louis; and what name

"Alix."
MY sweet Alix, one more kiss"
Ny own beloved Louis, farewell !"
"Wait my own, only for one mo-
ment.
And the king went to a drawer, and
taking q small miniature of himself. he
presented it to the young girl
She pressed il to her lips, and, with
a gaze in which alteration was depicted,
she threw herself once more into the
Kings arms, gave him long, passion
ate kiss, and said:
"Tm yours unto deathl Probably
we shall never meet again, but when /
die this viii be found lying on my
heart"
Once more the picture glided for
their exit Louis took the arm of the
Pink Domino and led her to the car
mage that awaited her. There was one
more pressure of the hand, one more
farewell, and the carriage rolled away.
Alix re-entered the park and few to
her room, but, oh, horror she found
herself confronted by her fatherl She
uttered loud shrek and fell senseless
to the floor. The duke raised her,
laid her on a couch, and divesting her
of her domino, and snatching the mask
off her face, ne looked for few minutes
at the lovely form before him, but
without the slightest touch of tender
ness or forgiyeness-her doom was
sealed. s
He left the apartment, and before
AliI had recovered from her fainting
fit he had returned, and wrapping her
mp in large cloak, he carried his bur-
den down stairs, placed her in trav-
cling carriage drawn by four horses,
sat by herside, and gave orders to the
postillions to start off
The rapid motion of the carriage re-
called the unfortunate girl to her sens
es, and by the gray dawn of the morn
ing she met once more the naughty
and scornful gaze of the duke. Tremb-
ling, and almost dead with fear, she
threw herself on her knees to implore
her fathers forgiveness, but it was in
vain; he did not inquire of her doings,
but told her to be silent; his curse was
upon her he said, and AliI knew well
what If meant.

A Man Who Has Dug His own Grave.

An Indianapolis correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial tells the
following story of a man whs IN this
connection has rather a suspicious
name:
John Dye, an old and respectable
citizen of Hancock county, in this
State, has had his grave dug for sever
al years. He accomplished this work
with his own hands, excayating the
earth TO proper depth, laying stone
slab on the bottom, and walling up tile
sides with brick A similar slab is
intended to cover the grave, and, what
is singular, Mr.. Dye has scooped out of
the neither stone hollow for his body
to rest in, with an elevation in which
there is another hollow for the head.
1t is his desire that when he dies he
shall be dressed IN certain specific
clothing, and that q blanket shall be
laid In the tomb, upon which his re-
mains are to be laid. Another
blanket is to be spread over
him, and the large slab of stone
placed on the tomb; the earth filed in
above. 1t Will be seen that he does away
with the use of coffin entirely, and he
further requests no burial service be
used or sermon preached. and that no
monument be erected to his memory.
Recently heavy rain cayed in the earth
above the tomb, and Mr.. Dye set about
repairs with vigor that was surprising.
To prevent recurrence of the accident
he has walled the grave up to the sur
face of the earth, and carefully covered
it with boards and sod. The grave is
on his farm, and within few feet of
the railroad Mr.. Dye is not yet an old
man, having barely passed three-score.
He is hale and hearty, and lives in the
old tavern stand where the mail-wagons
in winter, and the gay stage coaches in
summer, used to stop for dinner and a
change of horses. His memory is stored
with rich Jokes and adventures of that
period, and he owes a sort of grudge to
the locomotive which has deprived him
of his entertainment and profit.

A MONTANA paper says: "Many
have seen and admired the rock globes
found on the Cannon Ball River, which
empties into the Missouri several hum
dred miles below this point. They are
perfect spheres, varying in size from
marbles to many pounds weight. Brok-
en- open, the center is found to closely
resemble iron ore, and they, give forth
an unmistakable metallic ring when
struck with hammer. Another stream
has been found in Eastern Montana in
which these wonders abound. The
popular notion OF their formation is,
that they are the result of descending
lava, which has been thrown up to an
immense height by volcanic convulsion

applied in the manufacture of shot. -

PRooF OF CHARAcTBR.-On the trial
of criminal cases, it is well known, the
prosecuting officer cannot adduce evi-
dence of the bad character of the pris-
oner, except to counteract prot tof good
character brought forward in the first
place by the defendant A change in
this practice, however, has been effect
ed as the result of the law, which, in
New York and other States, allows n
defendant in criminal case TO testify
in his own favor. Thus in the Supreme
Court of the Fourth Department of the
State of New York, it was recently de-
cided that when person on trial upon
an Indictment for any offence, volun-
teers as q witness In his own behalf, he
subjects himself to impeachment the
same 9Rsny other witness upon the tn
al, and by making himself a witness he
puts his character for credibility as a
witness in issue collaterally, and can
not complain if his character suffers in
the investigation. Upon these prInci-
pies it was held that after the prisoner
had offered himself as 3 witness, and
was examined and cross-eIamined, the
prosecuting officer could bring forward
evidence of the DEFENDANTS general bad
character, in order to impeaeh his
credlbility as q witness.

of tipsy mocking birds is a very funny
sight. They fly around in the most
colnical manner, hiccoughing and
staggering just like real men, mixing
up all sorts of bachanalian songs,
and interrupting each other in
the most impudent manner, not at
all like well behaved birds. 1t is
even said that they will fly out promis-
ouously, intrude on domestic relations,
forget the way home, and get into each
Others nests and families, just like the
lords of creation. 1t is not improbable
that also, like the lords of creation, they
become very penitent after the season

On Caney Fork.
From the Paducah Kentucdan.


Some years ago, when Paducah was
smaller and not SO pretentious a place
as it is now, the question of common
schools was up for debate at meeting
of the debating club. A well known
lawyer of the city who now presides at
the head of country affairs being as
sigued in the debate in the negative, OF
opposition to the schools, made an able
argument against them, and concluded
by stating that it was best for people
not to have too much education any
way, as in such cases they resembled
his friend on the affirmative,
whose great learning rendered him
rather worthless member. Now this
friend is well-knovn mechanic Of the
city, who has had Legislative honors,
and did service as a preacher. He at
once rose to his feet and said, "his
friend. the lawyer, reminded him of q
circumstance that occurred on Caney
Ford, in Tennessee. There was but one
man in the settlement who could read,
and that was the postmaster. Once q
week, when the mail arrived, all the
neighbors gathered at the postofice to
hear the newspaper read. On enc oc-
casion the postmaster was reading
an account of the great emigra-
tion going on from the old to the new
states in the West. In some places it
was SO great that the emigrants had
eaten up all the corn The postmaster
was proceeding to finish the account
when one of his auditors told him to
stop and explain what emigrant meant.
This bothered the postmaster, and,
when pressed, said he did not exactly
know what emigrant meant, but he sup
posed it must be either coon or hog,
as they were 'h-l on corn" 1t is
useless t. add that this anecdote floor
ed the lawyer, and the school question
carried.
