Indian Strategy.

Gen. Crook relates the following piece
of diplomacy by which Cochise sought
to battle his purpose of negotiating the
peace with the bands of Maguil, Pedro
and Capt. Chiquito. The willy savage
prince, anticipating the generals pur-
pose, sent an emissary to the above-nam-
ed chiefs to inform them that he had
just succeeded in capturing wagon,
near Apache Pass, loaded with arms and
ammunition; that the guns were of a new
pattern, much better than any now in
use by the Indians, and sufficient in
number to afford one to every warrior
and that these guns were at their dispos
al whenever they chose to come for
them. The story was fully credited by
the Coyotero Chiefs, and when Gen.
Crook arrived at their encampment, on
the following day, he found a strong dis
position among them in favor of going
to secure the guns. They related to him
the conditions proposed Dy Cochise,
when the general, knowing that no such
capture had been made, saw at once that
it was a ruse invented by Cochise to pre-
vent the much-dreaded interview and
probable alliance. He had but little
difficulty in assuring them that no such
incident had occurred and, upon stat
ing what he supposed was the object of
the message, he found that his opinions
corroborated their suspicious, and that
they evinced disposition to abrogate i"
toto any friendship or friendly relations
which might heretofore have existed be-
tween them and the chief, who had lied
and tried to deceive them

THE HAY.SEEDS.

Some years ago two or three young
thieves were seen lurking about house in
Brandon Street, on a Saturday night
Their attention was directed to a front
door, which no doubt they wished to be
open. One was seen to go up and examine
the checklock, and then come awav and
commune with his friends Then there was
jInging Of keys, as if they had been
turning ont their stock of skeletons to
know which would fit. At length they
succeeded /; the old customer tried his hand
aeain, the door was opened, and by-and by
the two who We're ON the watch outside
got handed to them three topcoats, with
which they made off, while the chief thief
quietly shut the door and walked away.
All this play was noticed by one who
could neither run after them nor identity
them; and when notice came to the Office
We had absolutely nothing to 60 upon.
Next morning Sunday Mr.. Wilson
called the officers and gave them their
commission. " 1t is not the value of the
coats he said, that makes me anxious
about this case, but the certainty | feel
that if we don't get hold of the thieves,

was no clue, believe smiled at the com

4 Remarkable Family.

Here is the history Of remarkable
Kentucky family, as told by Kentucky
paper: About one mile from Jamestown,
Russell County, there lives one Of the
most remarkable families in all this COM
monwealth, and probably in the United
States Mr. James Jeffries, who is now
in this city, serving upon the petit jury
in the United States Court, tells his own
story, and says that he was married be.
fore he was seventeen years old, his wife
being only five days younger than him
self. They lived together seven years
without children when his wife gave
birth to twins, Il boy and girl. In the
fifteen years which followed, nineteen
children We're born to the happy couple,
each of the first three births being twins,
and each subsequent birth alternating
between twins and single births, until the
fifteen years were accomplished and nine
teen children composed the family circle,
seven pair of twins being born during
the time. Mr. .Iefiries is only 45 years
old, and is still youthful in appearance
and very stout His wife never had bet
ter health in all her life than ut present,
though she will not weigh hundred
pounds. Her greatest weight ut any
time was hundred and ten pounds. The
boy of the first twins now weighs hun
dred and sixty-fve pounds, the girl
hundred and twenty-five pounds. All
the boys who are grown have made large
men; the girls are of good size and all
the children healthy. But five out of
have died Mr.. Jeffries has ten
brothers, all of whom are large men, and
within the families of these eleven bro
thers there are thirty-seven pairs of twins,
making seventy-four twin children, to
say nothing of the host of single births.
Five of Mr.. Jetlries' children are mar
ried, and, added to all these singular
facts, Notwithstanding the absence of
silvery locks on his head he is the grand
father of .it' children.

How 1T WORKED. The progress Of the
Chicago fire was marked by one peculi-
arity-it resembled warlike advance
and battle. The wind carried the embers
and burning brands to great distance,
and thus like skirmishes were always
going on far in advance of the main
body. The advanced guard or light
divisions followed these, and swept away
the buildings which had resisted the
flying sparks, but left the great blocks
the Custom House. Sherman House,
Post Office, Tribune building, &c
almost unscathed, until the main body,
travelling more slowly, came up and
swept these into utter nothingness. Thus
the sight was terribly grand. Perhaps a
mile TO the northward small jets of smoke
showed where the embers had alighted.
A few hundred yards nearer five or six
small fires, at some distance from each
other, had broken out. Behind these
again came long and unbroken line Of
flame, sweeping away everything light,
and bel ind this was confusion Of smoke
and flame burning nearer the ground,
while here and there stood up the stouter
buildings, each burning pyramid, like
islands of fire in n sea of flame and
smoke. 1t was this that baffled the fire
men. They could never reach the out
skirts of the fire. If they moved back
and took fresh position the fire went
over their heads and fianked them

A JUsT APPRECIATION OF THE VALUE
OF THE COUNTRY Pass The following
testimonial from J. b Dinsmore, Esq,
will be read with interest, as based upon
a varied experience in advertising
My opinion of the relative value of
city and country newspapers as advertis-
ing mediums, is decidedly in favor of the
country papers, price and circulation
being equal
I should prefer TO have my advertise
ment inserted in a country paper having
500 circulation rather than have it in 800
copies of a city daily paper. The coun-
try readers have fewer papers and more
leisure, and consequently read their pa
pers more thoroughly and take better
care of them, while daily paper after
being glanced at is thought no more Of
than last years almanac. My opinion is
based on twelve years study and expert
ence in the business.

Railways.

The opening of the European and
North American Railroad will furnish

Halifax to San Francisco, with the ex.

pected to be finished in July, 1872. II
Is proposed in Europe to construct, Oh

COM lucted, a continuous route of travel
by which the journey may be accom-
plished from London to Bombay with
out change of ears and it is estimated
that the trip may be made in precis ely
five days, sixteen hours and forty six
minutes, though in cases of unusual de-
tention 1t may be necessary to add a
quarter or half an hour to this time.
The contemplated route is by way of
Dover Straits, through France and the
Mont Gems Tunnel 10y existing lines to
Trieste, and thence through Austria
Turkey, Persia. aud Beloochistan to

complete an unbroken line of rail, it will
be necessary to tunnel the Straits of Do
yer, II project which has for long time
received the attention of engineers, and
which has been favorably reported ON
again and again by competent authori-
ties. Recent Investigations have led to
the belief on the part of some engineers
that the tunnel could be open to travel in
two or three years. instead of requiring
nine or ten for the work, as was at first
supposed and similar reduction has
been made in the estimate of the cost,
originally set at ten million pounds sterl-
ing. Biologists say that the tunnel will
run for the whole distance through gray
chalk that can be scooped ont as easily as
Dutch cheese. The distance is about
twenty eight miles. The Mont Gents
Tunnel is not quite eight miles long, and
was fourteen years in process of con
struction, costing over Sl5, 600, 900. The
Hoosac Tunnel, in Massachusetts,, will
be "A little less than five miles long but

by the Mont Gents excavation, and has
been longer under way, though the work
has not been steadily prosecuted on it.
1t is not improbable that tunnel unit
ing England and France may yet be car
ried through but the work will probably
require more time and greater ex-
penditure of money than the latest esti-
mates call for.
