representatives, inasmuch as Edwards declined TO

before them. Keener said if they went along quietly all right, that they would take them down and deliver them up te the officers of Yuma county, but that they were gone if they ever made a move to escape.
 Too much praise cannot be awarded to John Rogers, for his prompt re- sponse to the call of those men to aid them, who knows Martinez, as they de- sired to make no mistakes in the mat ter. He has known Martinez for years, and has always been looked upon by him as friend. I hope that he may be literally rewarded in some way. MT. Keener told me that he had lost during this year not less than 300 head of cattle by these robbers from Sonora; but they have usually gone direct towards the line and never before have been followed, because he looked upon 1t as useless, as no one has ever been known to get stolen prop erty after it crossed the line from the Gila river.
 This letter is already too long, I fear, but I cannot resist the tempta- ton of telling a story I once heard. It was that Gadslen had died, and un- like Uncle Ned, he didn't go where all good darkeys go, but direct to the door of the pit of darkness. Knock ing there, the devil appeared and asked who he was Gadsden," was the answer. "Where are you from ?" "Arizona. "Why," said the devil, "I never expected you here." "Why not Z" Because, from all I hear of your late purchase. it is quite hot enough for you to there set up an op- position business to me, and the agon- izing suferings of the people there are so great from butcheries by Indians and Mexicans and the incessant rob berries committed by them both, with their minds stirred to frenzy by my aids, such as The Tribune of New York, Every Saturday, of Boston, and many others of their kind, though smaller fry, in my employ solely for the pur- pose of continuously lying against that miserable people; I say, sir, that the sufferings in Arizona are so much greater than anything that the most villainous of us here are capable of devising, that if you have committed any henious crime, I have no place worse to send you to-" "I did noth- ing worse than purchase Arizona" re- piled Gadsden. "Then, go back, sir; go back and suffer the bangs you have led others to suffer-"

FROM CAMP MCDOWELL.

w eather General CrOOk-CaValry
 cOmIng-Pima Indian Depreda.
 tiOns Becoming Unbearable -
 Trouble Anticipated.
 CAMP MCDOWELL, A. T., August 26, 1S71.-The weather is very hot and dry - unusually so. General Crook is expected in here in day ol two; also, three Troops of Cavalry from Yuma are looked for next week. These three Troops, as I understand, will be an independent command and scout from this point.
 The Pima Indians are doing con- siderable stealing about Phenix and Mill City, in Salt River valley. Last week they robbed all the vineyards in the valley. The grapes that they could not eat they destroyed. I under stand they destroyed over 2,OOO pounds of grapes in one night for one farmer alone. They have also destroyed quite a number of watermelon patches, and robbed one farmer of everything that he had.in his house he being at work on his farm at the time they broke into his house.
 The people of the valley are about tired out with these Indian thieves, and unless the Indian Agent stops these robberies soon, there will be such blood letting of the Pima kind as will cause greater howl in the East than did the few drops shed near Camp Grant short time ago. The people have about exhausted every means in their power to avoid the shedding of blood, but so far have not accomplished anything. They have waited on the Indian Agent at Saca- ton, and have addressed communica- tions to him on the subject. He in- formed the people that he could do nothing-that he was stranger and powerless; but would refer their con- plaints to Washington, and await in- structions. There is one recourse left, and only one, and I know it is the wish and desire of tine people to re- sort to every means in their power to avoid the shedding of blood. But they cannot submit much longer to be robbed by these worthless and impu- dent scoundrels. The citizens of the valley should call @ meeting and send a committee to represent the condition of affairs to Major Dudley, command ing Camp Mcdowell, whose hands are not tied, and who has the disposition and aciU to do what is right and proper between citizens and Indians. Try him, citizens of Salt river. Ycu will not, l am sure, regret it. Now is the time to doit, while there are plenty of soldiers at the Camp, and in less than week there will not be Pima In dian in Salt River valley. T. II.

A LADY's MAIDS VANITY.

Chambers Journal vouches for the
truth of the following story, which was
originally published in the guise of fiction:
Caroline A., good oking, finely
proportioned young lady, lived as lady's
maid, with a fashionable young widow.
/ One evening, after having assisted at her
mistress toilet for dinner party, she
amused herself, b fore putting away the
various articles scattered about the room,
in trying on pair of silk stockings and
dress shoes belonging to her mistress, and
having done so she viewed her well turned
limbs with complacency, saying aloud,
There's leg for stocking, and there's
foot for a shoe Having satisfied herself
as to their symmetry, she divested herself
of her borrowed plumes, put the room to
rights, and waited the return of her mis-
tress, whom she saw in bed. That was
the last time she saw her alive. She was
found in the morning murdered in her
bed, the jewel case and plate chest broken
open and robbed. The robber and mnr-
derer left no trace by which he could be
captured, and in spite of the most dihgent
search escaped Three years after, Caro-
line was engaged in similar capacity by a
lady, who took her to Paris. She had
almost forgotten the murder, and, if she
thought of it, it was not with any hope of
discovering the criminal.
ssIt happ ned that she was walking in
one of the promenades one afternoon, when,
as shs passed group of men she heard
these words. There's a leg for stock
ing, and there's foot for a shoe In a
moment the event of the evening before
her n istress was murdered flashed On her
memory And now for her marvellous
presence of mind Pretending not to have
heard anything, she glanced sideways at
the group of men She saw there three,
but could not tell which of them had spok-
en-. She walked slowly by them then she
stopped in an undecided manner, and
finally turned back and walking up to
them asked 10 be directed to certain
street As she expected all of them had
word for he!, aud among the voices she
easily recognized the one that had just
i spoken. Their language and looks were
both very free, but she told them they
we're very impertinent, and that she would
get the information she wanted from the
first gendarme.
She thus averted suspicion if they watch
ed her speaking to a policeman. The
next difficulty was how to inform gen.
darme what she wanted; she had only
been fortnight in France, and knew
scarcely French word. She, however,
carried pocket dictionary with her to
assist in making purchases md as means
of acquiring little French. Going over
to bench she sat down, and searching
through the dictionary, found the words
she wanted and then she wrote them with
pencil on the fy-leaf of the dictionary.
/ The sentence read thus: Genddrmes. jeoooir
besbin uous drTestey en- meutrter. The
grammar was not very correct, as diction-
aries do not teach syntax; but the gen.
darme understood it, and in another min
ute held the murderer in his grasp. He
was afterwards convicted and executed on
the girls testimony.

FOND OF MOUsTACHE.

Harry Adams, keeper of the old Jail at
indianapolis, tells a good many interesting
stories, among others good one concern
ing young Kentuckian who some years
ago was held in waiting for requisition'
from the State authorities. Kentuck pro-
fessed entire ignorance of the cause that
led to his incarceration, and bitterly denied
that he was guilty of any high crime or
msdemeanor What time he was not as
serting his Innocence or blaspheming his
i'll luck, heavy blonde moustache engaged
his individual attention, and apparently,
for him, the dearest spot on earth was his
upper lip. One day Harry Adams passed
careiessiy through the Jail in company
with the turnkey, and afterward the latter
informed "Kentuck" that AIRY had re-
cognized that moustache as the property
of the man who ssstole his mule !" "Stole
his mule % exclaimed the astonished
Kentuckian in wild dismay "why, stran.
ger [ haven't seed a mule in two years. !"
II don't know anything about it," an
swered the accommodating jailer. "He
says he can swear to that moustache, and
if you don't cut it off you're goner sure. "
"But | never stole his mule" pleaded
Kentuck. He's blasted liar eft he says
so. | kin prove never stole it"
"All right them" sald the jailer. "H,
there any doubt about it. though you'd
better cut off your moustaehe, and then he
can't swear to you.
Kentuck gloomily considered he situa-
ton, and finally called for pair of shears
A big pair we're passed to him, aud he
slowly raised them to his nose, but it was
no 20. Down came his uplifted arm, and
he handed back the scissors with the air OF
lamb led to the slaughter "Blast 1t all,
said he, as he turned away, ~ never stole
his mule; and I'm pot goin' to spile my
face for blamed old mule, anyhow"
