Detectives and Thieves.

Generally, the citizen who is robbed accepts the requirement. that he shall furnish sufficient inducement to the detective, in order to get his property back again, and the probability that he can get it back again if he furnishes a sufficient inducement, as the settled facts of the situation, and he either decides to be bled in this way, or to abandon his property. Everybody accepts this as the situation, and resigns himself to it as thing it is useless to contend against. But it is 8 situation which makes the municipality protector and propagator of thieves, and sharper in stolen goods. One of the strange fea- lures of our social system is the tolera- tion of these persons who call themselves detectives. We do not believe that any performed or possible good can be sufi- cient to excuse the existence of this class of persons, who quickly become mere go-Detweens for the thieves, and whose interest is against any thorough dealing with the criminal classes.
 We do not say that there is not such thing as an honest detective. Such a thing may have an existence; but we do say that the business of detective is too severe trial for the average virtue of those who are exposed to it, and that the abolition of the detective force would be wholesome reform. As to the so-call- ed independent detectives, the police should always hold them in the category of suspicious class. There may be cases in which money is required to pursue a detective Investigation, but its expenditure should always be ac- counted for and subjected to severe scrutiny. The mysterous demand that the robbed person shall furnish so much money, in order to set the detectives at work, or the inquiry how, much he is willing to give, is practice that creates in the public mind a conviction that the detectives are in collision with the thieves. It leaves the detective free from all accountability, and it creates a temptation to which the average man ought not to be exposed.-Cfncimnati Gazette,

A New Manure.

A Norwegian company offers for sale 8 fish guano from the Loffoden Islands, prepared from the heads and backbones of tho eod-tsh, collected during the great winter fisheries off the Norwegian coast, principally by children and old and infirm persons who have no other means of subsistence. Formerly this matter was thrown into the sea as refuse, and materially affected the permanence and efficiency of the fisheries but 1t is now carefully collected and hung in bundles on the rocks to dry. In June and July it is brought to the mills, where it is cut into pieces, dried artiiicially, and then ground between millstones. This article, prepared quite differently from the fish guano of the United States, is put up in bags, and finds 8 constant demand at about $45 ton. It contains great variety of ingredients fitting it for an excellent manure. The same company furnish what they call fish hour, which is made from the best dried cod-fish, by grinding them up, bones, skin, and all to the fneness of sawdust or four, in which form it is largely used in Scan- dinavia for various kinds of cookery. It is sometimes mixed with spotatoes or other substances, and sometimes formed into cakes or biscuit. The fish is more readily packed and transported in this form than any other, and it is said to keep long time without deterioration. We would commend this aforementioned preparation to the attention of our peo- ple. as furnishing hint toward new article of trade in this country, and one that cou1d be conveniently employed in cookery in a great variety of ways.

A Desperate Fight.

A band of Indians, about sixty in number, made an attack upon two men at the ranches on Cienega de Sauz, about fifteen miles above an old San Si- mon station, and twenty five miles from camp Bowie. There are two adobe houses there, situate some 200 yards apart. The men occupied one, the other vacant and that morning one Of the men, Richard Barnes, started to go from the house over near the vacant one, when he was fired upon by Indians from the inside of the house and shot through the body. His partner, R. M. Gilbert, was at the time in the house occupied by them, and upon his bed, being unwell with fever but hearing the firing, he seized his Henry rife, ran out and com menced firing upon the Indians, as they had run out and surrounded the fatally wounded and dying man. This intimi- dated them, and they backed & little, and Gilbert succeeded in getting the wounded man into the house, and all the time keeping up the firing upon the Indians. After this, quite a skirmish ensued, shooting through doors, win dows and port-holes, in which Gilbert was quite painfully, but not dangerous ly wounded near the gro1n by spent ball.
 The Indians hit upon the expedient of setting fire to the roof to burn them out, and when the heat and smoke could be endured no longer, Gilbert tried to arouse the wounded man and get together out of door, but found him dying. He then took his rifle in one hand and his cooked pistol in the other, and knowing that an Indian was standing at the cor ner of the house watching for him Che being able to see the shadow in the morn ing sun), with yell and bound, sprane directly at the Indian, firing his pistol into the savage when within two feet and rushed into the tall grass in the Ci enega bottom amid 8 shower of balls. This strategy, no doubt, saved the mans life, as the Indian fired but missed his mark-the pistol-ball in his owr stomach probably rendering his nerve: unsteady. The man lay in the tai grass and jules all day, the Indians not caring to risk three or four lives to ge one i; and during that night and the nex day, he managed, in spite of his wound to crawl into Bowie camp some nine mile off

WOman's Work.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in an article in the Lpdepcndent, entitled "Rights and Relatives," says
 "I think little reflection will con- vince us that many, if not most, of the directions in which women now expend themselves, demand as much actual strength as many, if not most. of the departments of what is called masculine labor,' though theoretically the ght afternoon work of the world falls to them" She says:
 "Take single instance of a conver- sation stumbled upon the other day. He that hath ears to hear let him hear it's counterpart any day. The speakers were both women.
 "'I'm trying to get along without my girl. I had engaged her, but it seems like murder to take her away from Mrs. B.. I haven't the heart to send for her. She's all the help that poor crea- ture can get and she has twenty board CTS in her house to-day, and four little children of her own besides. Ones a baby born last May. She never was 8 strong woman. She looks like death this summer. I believe she is dying, myself. It's enough to kill any woman. Pm sure I don't wonder. You never saw such face. It's like a ghost. She isn't fit to have 8 boarder across her doorstep but she's anxious to do and very ambitious to get along, and they're poor, you see.'
 "'But where is her husband 2
 "Oh he keeps the tin-shop down town
 |" Why doesn't he support the fami- ly?'
 "Well, you see, he's just beginning ; and he doesn't make it very fast, and it's growing family. She feels as if she must help, anyhow
 "Help? It seems to be he that only "helps." She supports the family. Why don't they change work, if she is killing herself with hers ?
 {" TVhdt?'
 "'Why does't she learn the tinsmith' s trade; and he learn how to keep twenty boarders, and take care of four children, with one ignorant assistant ? If he is a strong man he could probably bear it awhile. At any late, it might save her life, if it Is not too late.'
 "'!Oh well,' with 8 puzzled laugh, hardly sure whether the speaker expect ed some recognition of an original joke, women can't do much unless it's house. work, you know-especially mothers they're aot strong enough, think ?"

Caught in a Railroad Cut.

There occurred on the Oregon and California Railroad one of the most thrill ling railroad incidents we have ever heard of, which, while it demonstrates the foolhardiness of some people, also shows how near there came to being @ terrible railroad accident. The follow ing particulars, furnished to our reporter by an eyewitness, may be relied upon as true:
 When the down train came near one of the stations on the road it was run ming at full speed, in order to make up time, as it was few minutes behind. The road at this point runs through a cut something more than 0 mile in length, and in entering it the road makes d curve, so that the engineer cannot see entirely through it. He had hardly got ten into the cut before he saw woman riding leisurely through it, using the centre of the track. She was not more than half way through the cut, and bare ly quarter of mile ahead of him. He immediately whistled ."down brakes," and sounded the warning.
 The woman, hearing the peculiar death whistle of the locomotive, looked over her shoulder and saw the train rush. ing at her. She did not shrielz, nor faint, nor give up all hope, but, like Q true Webfoot, her courage rose equal to the emergency, and, without moments s hesitation, she commenced swinging her riding whip from one shoulder of her steed to the other, thereby urging h1m to exert his utmost speed.
 The shrieking of the locomotives whistle caused the passengers to look out of the windows, and upon their discover ing what was the matter the widest ex- citement ensued. Several jumped for ward and seized the bell-rope, and com menced pulling on it as if they would stop the train by that means. The brakemen were exerting all their strength on the brakes, and the engineer had cut off the connection and was doing all that he knew to stop the train, while the wo- man was doing her level best to urge that bit of horsefesh to speed but, all in vain, the locomotive kept gaining on the horse and its rider, and there was hardly person on the train who did not expect that both the woman and the horse would be killed. There was, per- haps, thirty feet intervening between the COW catcher and the horses heels when, fortunately for the woman, she observed a place which was little wider than usual, and with steady rein she guided the fleeing horse from the track and en- deavored to press him against the wall ot the cut, in order that the train might pass by without injury. In doing this the woman was encouraged by Sam Win ans, the conductor, who had run forward and got on the locmotive A few sec. onds only passed by when the fiery mon ster poked it's nose past the trump of the horse. At this moment Winans threw his whole force against the animal an6 held him until the train stopped, and then rousing cheer of qualification and 1 joy at the escape of the woman from { terrible death was given.

The Dress of Children.

Now that winter is come, it behooves parents more than ever to see that their children are clothed in such manner as to protect them from the inclemency and sudden changes of the weather The chief cause of infantine mortality, in ad- dition to foul air, or too rich or too poor food, IS the false pride of many mothers. Children are killed by the manner in which they are dressed as certainly Gs by any other cause. In our changeable climate children of the most tender age are left witk their arms and legs, and with low-necked dresses. The mothers, in the same dress, would hiver and suf- fer with cold, and expect 9 fit of sickness as the result of their culpable carelessness. And yet the mothers could endure such N treatment with far less danger to health and life than their tender infants can. A moments reflection will indicate the effects of this mode of dressing, or rath- CT want of dressing, on the child. The moment tho cold air strikes its bare arms and legs, the blood is driven from these extremities to the internal and more vital organs. The result is conges- tion, to greater or less extent, of those OrOanS
