From the Pacific Slope.

San Francisco, Nov. 25.--Dispatches
from Arizona state that 100 Governm ent
cattle have been run off By the Apache
Indians in the Valley de Chino, near
Prescott, e-i-7-.
The troops and citizens in pursuit Of the
Apaches who murdered the Wickenham
stage passengers, trailed them directly to
Dale creek, and revealed the fact that
large part of the Apaches residing there
were absent at the time of the massacre.
This was proven by an officer on the
reservation.
A dispatch says that among the passen-
gers was one registered as Fred. w. Loring,
of the Wheeler expedition. Loring was the
only passenger who was not wounded at
the first fire of the Indians, who were am
bushed, completely surrounding the stage.
The three passengers outside and the driver
were killed at the first volley. The In
dams then rushed for the stage; Loring and
Hamilton lost their presence of mind and
jumped from the stage on the side
next the Indians. Messrs. Shepherd
and Kruger, both wounded, jumped from
the other side and escaped, In an instant
Loring was surrounded by savages. After
beng wounded he tried to escape, when
the Indians fired two shots, which passed
through his breast. Loring then fell, and
was dispatched with lance. Persons
knowing him here say there is no doubt of
his identity.
The people Of Prescott raised volunteers
with the determination of killing every
Apache on the reservation, but finally con-
sented to leave the matter with General
Crook.

| THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN MINOR
We briefly announced in our Saturday 5
issue the sudden and unexpected death of
Captain R. d. Minor, chief engineer of the
James River Improvements. During Fri
day, Captain Minor enjoyed his usual good
health and was in unusually good spirits.
In the evening of that day he took part in
the pleasures of juvenile party given at
complained of a pain in the back of his head,
and by the advice of his wife at once retired
to his room and went to bed. An hour
after he was dead.
Captain Minor was born in the town of
Fredericksburg, Va, in the year 1926. He
was appointed midshipman in the United
States navy for the State of Missouri,in the
year 1871, and made his first cruise in the
old frigate Macedonia, bearing the broad
pendant of Commodore jesse Wilkinson,
| flag officer of the Brazil squadron. 1t 1913
he was attached to the sloop of war "War-
rem" in the Pacific squadron, under the
command of Commodore John d. Sloat.
AT the breaking out of the Mexican war,
in 1916, he was attached to the American
fleet under Commedorc Stockton, then
cruising in Mexican waters. After this
war he was promoted to passed-mldship-
man, and in 1851 was ordered to the
steamer "Vixen," then attached to the
Home squadron. As observation-disclosures
he also served in the storeship "Lexing-
ton," of the East India squadron. In 1857
he was engaged in the survey of the har-
bors and rivers along our coast. He was
then promoted to- lieutenant, and in 1859
was again ordered to the coast of Brazil in
| the sloop-of-war "Preble."
! When the late war broke out, as we have
said, Captain Minor resigned his commits
sion and entered the Confederate SERVICE
He took an active part in the naval engage
ment in Hampton Roads, where he was
wounded in the shoulder, and was concern
ed in the effort to release the Confederate
prisoners confined at Johnson's island. lie
afterwards had charge of the naval ord
nance works in this city, and for time
served in the naval operations on the James
river. #NN ISL
Captain Minor was genial, pleasant
gentleman. His death is severe blow te
the city, in business point of view, and has
caused sincere mourning in large circle o.
relatives and friends.

\ true story il told OF Roman Catho.
lie priest. who some years ago entered =
pulpit in Germany, carrying in his hand
a walnut, his intention being to use it rs
an illustration Of what he was about to
say.
Holding up the little nut in full view OF
his crowded audience, he began,i in loud
and Boosting tone, with, My hearers,
the shell OF this nut is tasteless and val
ueless: that, my friends, was Calvin's
Church. The skin of this fruit is nause-
Gus, disagroeabc, and worthless that
represents the Lutheran Church. And
now I will show you the Holy Apostolic
Church"
Suiting his action to his words, he
cracked the nut, and, 10 and behold to
his utter chagrin and discontinue, the
inside contents were perfectly decayed
and rotten.
Thus the proud priest was defeated by
The little nut he was endeavoring TO use

Vaccination and Disease.

The most experienced vaccinators, on
thc one hand, and those who have had
most to do with the treatment of infant
lie ailments, on the other, agree in the
belief that disease is not communicable
by vaccination. Mr.. Marson, IN English
physician, in the performance OF more
than fifty thousand vaccinations, "has
never seen other diseases communicated
with the vaccine disease, nor does he be.
lieve in the popular reports that they are
so communicated Mr.. Lees, whose
observations were equally extensive, has
borne similar testimony. DR.. w. Jcnner,
who in six years had some thirteen thou
sand sick adults and children under OBJ
servation. states "that in no case had he
reason To- believe, or even 10 suspect, that
any constitutional taint had been convey.
ed from one person to another by vac.
cination.n During period OF seventeen
years ID. West treated twenty-siX thou
sand infants and children, with like eX.
perence; and Prof. Paget, after an ex-
tensive familiarity with the diseases of
children, expresses the opinion that the
worst which can be charged upon vac.
cination is that, by disturbing for time
the general health, it may rarely give OPP
portunity for the external manifestation
and complete evolution of some consti'
tutional affection which but for it might
have remained rather longer latent.
Where every person in q community
has been properly vaccinated, there is
little chance for smallpox TO obtain
foothold and it is also very certain that
the presence of the unvaccinated is a
standing invitation to the development
and spread of cpidemics. The opponents
of vaccination, and far larger number
who from ignorance or carelessness neg.
lect the precaution, thus become, so
far a. the public health is concerned, q
dangerous class" which like other
dangerous classes it is for the interest of
the community at large to remove. -"Sci'
