The APACHE AND HIS SoUAw.-The
Arizona Miner thus describes the do
nestle relations Of the Indians Of that
section. They resemble those of all
the savage tribes on the continent:
Deprive the Apache warrior of hi:
squaw and he Is no longer a warrior
You have taken from him all that ha;
made him q warrior, all that has given
him strength and courage to spring q
bow. Not only has he lost his wife,
lin accordance with the rites Of hi.
GREEDY, but he has loit his slave, his
servant, his manufacturer, his pack
animal-in short, his sole support
She It Is who makes his bow and ar
rows who gathers and prepares his
mescal, his corn and mesquit beans,
who builds his hut who gathers his
firewood; who makes his moccasins
and his deerskin coat. In fact, the
hand Of the Apache warrior Is never
raised to perform any kind Of labor ex-
cept murder and robbery, unless, in
deed, when be feels himselfcalled upon
to mutilate the living body Of a faith

than provide for himself he would sur
render without naming any condition,
or failing in this, he would perish Of
starvation In the course ola

Of B. F. Hastings & Co. met ut :
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the law
office Of George Cadwalader, to hear a
statement Of the affairs Of the firm and

sity of throwing them into bankruptcy
appeared to be unanimous. The liabil'
tiles of the firm were shown to be

were estimated at $S4,479 o., which
would give q distribution Of not far
from fifty-one cents on the dollar.
After q general discussion and inter.
change Of views, It was resolved to
appoint a committee to draw up a COIL
tract and agreement Of settlement be-
tween the firm and their creditors, on
the plan of putting all available assets
In the hands of trustees for their equit-
able distribution. The following gen.
tlemen were chosen as said committee

The miners and capitalists In Utah
have recently held a meeting and ap-
nointed General E. L. Barnum a dele
gate to confer with the Directors OF
the Union Pacific Railroad at their
annual meeting, to induce them to
lower their tariff on freights for crude
ore and bullion. The present rates,
they claim, arc destructive to the In
terests Of Utah and suicidal to the
railroad. The road discriminate;
against bullion and closes up the
smelling works. Ores cannot be
shipped, and the Union Pacific Rail
road Is running empty cars east. In
stead Of promoting the prosperity o.
the Territory, they say 1t Is destroying
It. Rates must be reduced, or the
mines of Utah will be closed up an6
all mining interests wrecked. Th'
Central Pacific Railroad now carries
all the mining freight west. BY 1t
local tariff ores are shipped to Trucke'
and bullion to San Francisco at two
thirds the rate east. The interests o
Eastern smelling works are thus In
jured.

A CASE involving the question Of the
application Of the Bankrupt Law to
railroad corporations has been adjudl-
Gated by Judge Clifford, Of tho United
States Circuit Court, at Boston, In a
suit against the Boston, Hartford and
Erie Railroad Company. Some time
since an opinion was given by Judge
Shepley, sitting as District Judge in
the same case, to the effect that rail-
road corporations were amenable to
the provisions Of that law. The ground
OF the decision was that such corpora
tions were business corporations within
the meaning Of the Bankrupt Act. The
present case, which Is in the form Of a
petition for a review Of that decision,
Judge Clifford has decided, as before,
that the Bankrupt Act applies to rail.
road corporations, but on q different
ground from that held by Judge Shep-
ley. he holds that they are moi
"business," but are commercial
corporations within the meaning Of the
Act.

The Boston Times says: Twenty
seven years ago q servant girl stole
$500 from her mistress, In Portland,
Maine. Having this capital to start
with, and being shrewd and saving.
her cash increased and multiplied, and
despite the proverb, she prospered gen.
orally. At the great fire In Portland,
the former mistress was burned out Of
house and home. Now was the time
for tho old girl to quiet her guilty con-
science, and so, after months Of think
ing, the honest woman, by raising the
rent on her poor tenants, scraped to:
gether enough to forward to her old
mistress the stolen $500. She had
stolen gold and remitted greenbacks
but, rs she said, 1t was better for the
old lady to get that than nothing. The
Eastern papers are now publishing the
fact as q rare case of honesty, and one
to be generally followed, but we are
afraid that the millennium has not yet
arrived.

Three months after this period a hunt-

monkeys In the wilderness, and there,
in the arms OF the careful although
untutored wet-nurse, was the long,
lost child, who chartered and jlboered
In the most approved monkey fashion,

this of the affinity between our race

full nurture and training the evil Ell

POETRY.
A Lay of Passion.

The music of the wakened lyre
Dies not upon the quivering strings,
Nor burns alone the minstrePs fire
Upon the lip that trem bling sings;
Nor shines the moon in heaven unseen,
N Tor shuts the flower its fragrant cells,
Nor sleeps the fountains wealth, I ween,
For ever in its sparry wells
The spells of the enchanter lie
Not on his lone heart-his own rapt ear and eve.
[ look upon face as fair
As ever made lip of heaven
Falter amid its music-prayer;
The first lit star of summer even
Springs not so softly on the eye,
nor grows with watching, half so bright,
Nor mid its sisters of the sky
So seems of heaven the dearest light
Men murmur where that face is seen,
My youths angelic dream was of that look and
mlen.
Yet though we deem the stars are blest,
And envy, in our grief, the flower
That bears but sweetness in its breast,
And fear tn enchanter for his power,
And love the minstrel for his spell,
He winds out of his Tyre so we'll
The stars are almoners of light,
The lyrst of melodious air,
The fountain of its waters bright
And everything most sweet and fair
Of that by which it charms the ear,
The eye of him that charms the ear,
A lamp is lit in wOman's eye
That souls, else lost on earth, remember angels

hours and more thus passed. Every minute

Hunter went down and came near being

a swerving of the current they were washed on

were many mourning and crying over the scene
of desolation. On all sides as FAR as the eye
could reach were smouldering fires. The vii

The very turf was eaten away by the devour-

had lost children and other relatives, as well as
the awful anguish from barns were beyond de-

Burned and drowned bodies lay here and there.
In one place there were fourteen, these appa

impossible to adequately describe.
