DO THEY SEE IT |?

Cur Sorc contemporaries have very wisely ceased their absurd arguments tending to just- fy the robbery and murder of Americans at the hands of Sororanians. They pleaded retala- ton, but failed to show single instance in which the murder off Mexican on American soil Aad been Winked at by the American authorities. Their several arguments, tending in the same direction, are about the most complsts admixture of nonsense snd d-faahiOuSd ignorance te bs found in print in the present enlightened age. If the authorities of Sonora have ever seriously believed themselves justified in protecting the Mission Camp Murdersrs from the penalty of outraged law, the fact does them put little honor and we are led to believe that they now understand the whole matter as 1t really is, and remain silent rather than ac- knowledge the absurdity Of the views herstofors expressed They still retain the Mission Camp mur- derers, however; but that fact is only consistent with the government of people living at least three centuries behind ths times. How long they may be permitted yet to shield these murdererG from justice is, however, question to be decided by the result of investigations now fairly iRsu- gurated in Washington.

ISDIANS ALWAYS.

During ths present week accounts of India. Expectations have reached ,ca from almos
 every section of Arizona. Industry seems everywhere parslyEsd. The settlers in all the
 valleys are compelled ot look on ct the devas-
 tasion in progress around them and are ever
 unable to apply remedy. Central and north-
 ern Arizons seem to have suffered most dur ing this last general and simultaneous raid :; yet Southern arizops has likewise had ita DOT ton of the terrible visitation. Schemes for mutual defense have been devised con- aidered and rejected. The committee of Public Safety has proven an abortion, and no hope of succor or Oe aid remains to cheer the plunder- ed settler. The military force in the Territory under the present regime, is an aggravation if not an actual curse to the people. The fault however, lies not with the officers butexistsi in the orders under which they are compelled to act Had we sufficient troops, judiciousiy managed, they could readily ysubdus All the hostile Indians in the Territory within period 0fslx months What troops we have new could do 60 in 6 single year if the same were required of them Had VIC no troops the condition of the Territo~ ry would be better than at present, or, at least it could not, under any condition of afairs, De diaas with arms and ammunition settlement of half hundred inhat;t2nts csud readily pro- tect itself against the 'al :si farce of indians ever assembled in the Territory srmPd with ances and bows. If tte i55Jic policy of feeding hostile Indians at militavy reservations were abandoned Indians would be compelled 10 procure ths uecesEaries of life, and could net devote their whole time to the work Of carrying on var against the ssttIsmsnts; and armed only with their rude, homemade implements Of war, would not dare to procure these neces saries from the settler Or the freighter, and contend for the same against the a3yan ges I firearms hs over bowE and srruws
 The people are almost suffocated by prom ses, aud it is nearly lime that Gen. Saonsman should put some of his cherished schsmes into execution.

THE TICHBoRNE CASE.



London august lo) Correspondence New ioTK
World.
Throughout the examination IN chieI ana
cross-examination, the claimant to the iicn-
borne baronetcy and estates persisted IN
maintaining a discreet silence respecting
certain period of his nomadic career, the
fat and wary witness having several times
fatty refused to reply to questions bearing
upon some ugly circumstances which were
only limited at darkly. The story OF ms
life therefore lacked continuity, and ins
case was so nuch the weaker. am IN a
position to throw a ray of light into the
dark gap, and though adding nothing TO
the credit side of the claimants character,
may add much to the credibifity OF ms
claim. A Mr.. Num-, who is an engineer IN
her maiesty's service, states that he knew
Mr.. Tichborne, the claimant, as convict
on Cockatoo island. Tichborne was there
employed to negotiate the sale of cattle to
passing ships. and was considered by his
jailers as man of considerable shrewdness.
Several persons on the island knew that the
cattle salesman belonged to the class from
which convicts are not ordinarily recruited,
and to the engineer he communicated his
real name Mr. Num- has not the slightest
doubt as to the identity of the man. lie
firmly believes that.the whilom convict, the
claimant, and r. c. Tichborn are identical,
and he moreover believes that the mystic
rious Arthur Orion was also on the Island
at the same trme.

Daddy's Boy.

In a certain small town on the Mississippi
lived man who made horse trading busl
ness. He bought up horses for city mar,
ket, and was considered pretty good On a
trade.
One day, long, lean, queer, green-look
ing specimen of the Western country ar
rived at the dock with boat load OF
horses. He inquired for the horse jockey.
Daddy sent me down with some horses,
he said, in half idiotic tone.
''Who's he :"
Daddy"
"What do you want for your horses q
Daddy said you could set your price,
was the response.
"Let me go down and look at your
horses" said Brown, and accordingly they
were soon at the boat.
Brown examined the horses, and named
the price he would give tor this one and for
that, and the country pumpkin made no OBJ
lection, although some of the offers were
not more than one-half the worth of the
animal One of the bystanders said to the
cOuntryman that he was being cheated, but
he returned:
Daddy said Brown would set the price,
and so Brown had it all his own way.
AT last they came to another animal,
which did not look so much superior to the
rest.
81 must have more for that animal" said
the fellow. Daddy says he can run some

"You are mistaken" said the gentleman,

when he came in, showing that he was care

old man, showing he was kind and thought
full. He took off his cap when he came in,
and answered my questions promptly and
respectfully, showing he was polite and
gentlemanly. He picked up the book which
had purposely laid upon the floor, and re-
placed it on the table, while all the rest
stepped over it or showed it aside, and he
waited quietly for his turn, instead OF push

honest and orderly. When 1 talked with
him noticed that his clothes were care
fully brushed, his hair in nice order, and
his teeth as white as milk; and when he

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 30.-The
Treasury Department is constantly in re
ceipt of letters from all points showing that
the most intense feeling exists all over the
country with relation to the recent steam
boat accidents and disasters. These letters
call the attention of the authorities to in
stances where vessels now actively engaged
in business are unsafe, and travellers who
take passage upon them may at any moment
be blown into eternity.
Wherever these letters have been suffi
GENTLY explicit to indicate any par
ticular vessel or craft, they have been for
warded to the inspectors at the points
named, with instructions that they be sub
jected to the most careful examination.
1t is alse stated that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in conjunction with Supervising
Inspector Belknap, will Immediately issue
the most stringent instructions to inspectors
appointed under the recent act providing
for better security of passengers on steam
vessels to pay particular attention to those
provisions which relate to the examination

What il is TO Be a Widow.

II think it must be ajolly thing to be a
widow" l heard this remark the other day
in a group of laughing girls. think re-
member saying such thing myself IN the
careless girlish times.
Do YOU know. girls, what it is to be a
widow! 1t is ten times more open to COM
ment than any demoiselle could possibly
be. 1t is to have men gaze as you pass, first
at your black dress, then at your widows
cap until your sensitive nerves culver I'M
der the infection. 1t is to have one Ill ma
tured person to say, Il wonder how long
she will wait before she marries again q
and another answer, "Until she gets good
chance. L suppose" 1t is now and then to
meet a glance of real sympathy, generally
from the poorest and nOblest women that
you meet and feel your eyes fill at the to-
ken, so rare that il is, alas unlocked for.
1t is TO have your dear, fashionable friend
condole with you after the following
fashion: "Oh. well it's a dreadful loss. We
knew you would feel it, poor dear" And
in the next breath, "You will be sure to
marry again, and your widows cap is very
becoming TO you"
But it is more tn an this to be widow; it
is to miss the strong arm that you have
leaned upon; the true faith that you knew
cOuld never fail you, though all the world
might forsake you. 1t is to miss the dear
voice that uttered your name with ten
derness none other could give 1t. 1t is to
hear never more the well-known footsteps
that you few so gladly once to meet. To
see no more the face that, to your adoring
eyes, seem as the face of the angels of God.
To feel no more the twining arms that
folded you so lovingly; the dear eyes that,
looking into your own, and so plainly,
whatever it might seem to others, yours
was the fairest earth held tor him. 1t is to
fgh5 with mighty sorrow as a man fights
with the waves that overwhelmth him, and to
have-in hours of loneliness and weak
ness-the torrent roll over you, while-poo1
/ storm-driven dove-you see no haven Of
peace in the distance but heaven.-Nen
