TrOuhle with the Indians.

If we may rely upon what cores
pondent says, we nre to have trouble
with the Indians this Summer. Writing
from Fort Sill to the Governor of Texas,
the correspondent says:
Since my arrival here l have been care
full to collect information in reference to
the movements of Indians on and OF
these reserves, and would state to youl
Excellency that it is evident, during the
coming Summer, that there will be wit
messed the most extensive ravages OF the
frontiers of Texas of any preceding.
Almost all the Indians of this agency
and the Cheyennes of another, have left,
and are now on the wnr-path. We learn
from Indians that are coming in frequent
ly that other bands of Comanches, who
do not belong here. are also acting, and
that the Plains are black with hPnohoS.
Upon being interrogated rs to the num-
bers of the Apaches, these friendly
Indians pointed to n large valley near by
of more than thousand acres, and said
that would not hold them. Constantly
increasing depredations on the north
western frontiers corroborate their state
ments. The Apaches have been coming
down the waters of the Colorado and
further south, and il is most likely the
depredations committed at the far South
were by them. We lealn also there is n
rendezvous west of the reservation in
what is called Run Island of Texas.
There traders from New Mexico meet
the Indians and furnish them with arms
and ammunition in exchange for horses
and cattlc.

A Farmer Attacked by a Mad Horse.

In the township of Taylor, Mich, n
very exciting affair occurred. A man
named Pierce Andrews, who had lately
leased farm, returned that morning
with young horse which he had pur-
chased at Wyandotte. In riding the
animal home, Andrews had to give him
several whippings, and was once or twice
run away with, and thus, when he ar
rived home, he WIS tired out, and the
horse was nervous and excited.
There being some goods packed away
in the stables, Andrews took the horse
in on the barn floor to tie him. While
so doing the animal bit him, and for this
he was soundly belabored with the han
die of broken pitchfork. After being
struck several times he broke loose and
ran at Andrews, and struck him down
with one of his fore feet. While III this
position, the farmer received bad in
jury from being stepped on, but managed
to get up and show fight, still retaining
possession of his weapon. The horse
reared, kicked, and uttered mad neighs,
and in moment struck the man down
again. Andrews fell so close to apart.
ton that the horse could not get at him
well, and here he kept the beast at bay
by pounding its legs with the club
The people at the house had heard the
sounds of the struggle, and a hired man
and tie family were soon around the
door, As the horse seemed to quiet
down little, the man shouted to An
drews to crawl carefully along to the
door, This the farmer started to do,
but had not crawled three feet when the
the horse pounced upon him again, and
this time dislocated his shoulder by a
blow of his hoof. The horse then COM
menced plunging and kicking every
thing, jumping at Andrews whenever
the farmer moved and in this emer-
gency, seeing that he was likely to be
killed, he shouted for the man to get the
family out of the yard, and then open
the door, supposing that the animal
would then 60 ont.
This was done, but the horse plunged
out and in again with such rapidity that
the farmer could not escape, the animal
making at him every tune he tried it.
As a last resort, the hired man loaded an
army musket with fine shot, and gave
the horse the full charge in his shoulder
at short range. The beast went down,
jumped up, made few circuits of the
yard, and then leaped the fence into the
pasture, and ran until tired out. An
drews was badly bruised in many places,
had shoulder dislocated, as stated,
and will be confined to the house for
some time. The horse received consid-
cradle injury from the gun-shot, but it
is thought veterinary surgeon can heal

The Famine In Persia.

The horrors of the Persian famine in
croisc. A correspondent, writing to
Turkish journal from Tabreez under
date Of April 30, says The details
which reach us here of the destitution
and misery which the drouth of last year
has caused in the central and southern
provinces of Persia are fearfully heart
rcnding. Thit the people are dying
of hunger, even in the streets of the
capital, is minor phase Of this terrible
calamity. In Khorassan parents are
selling their children rs slaves to the
Turcomans in order to keep them alive !;
and in Ispahan, as IL said, mon have
been seized in the net of digging up the
corpses to serve as food for their starv-
ing families. In Shirnz-kerman and
Yezd The wretched sufferers endcayor to
support life on the grass and roots which
they may find in the neighborhood, and,
as might be expected, pestilence follows
hard ON the Footsteps Of fasnine, be-
tween them the half of the kingdom of
Persia is becoming rapidly depopulated. ="
A later account of the famine il given
in The Times Of India of May 13, which
says "The famine in some parts of
Persia is severe beyond comprehension.
Rain was for while hopefully expected,
but il came in very measured quantity,
and too late to turn the foe that was al
ready at the door. Thousands are said
to have died by the wayside Of sheer
starvation, or of starvation coupled with
the diseases it invariably brings in its
train. Most of the dead lie unburied-a
fact which may be regarded as the sure
precursor of pestilence. AT first, when
self preservation by any means whatever
became a question to be decided, yea or
nay, the former alternative prevailed
with the Mussulmans, and more than
one human being is said to have been
killed and eaten by them. 1t is stated
the sights to be seen, and not to be
avoided in the neighborhood OF Shliaz,
are such that European residents will not
leave their own houses. Also, between
Shiraz and Bushire, thousands Of dead
bodies lie unburied"

confidential as to be unintelligible and
inaudible to the bystanders.
A few days after the disappearance Of
Mr. Chubbuck singular report reached
Sierra Flat, and it was noticed that
"BostOn," who. since the failure of his
elaborate joke had been even more de-
pressed in spirits than is habitual with
great humorists, suddenly found that
his presence was required in San Fran
cisco. But ~ yet nothing but the
vaguest snrmiscs were ailoat, and nothing
definite was known.
1t was pleasant afternoon when the
editor of the "Sierm Flat Record" looked
up from his case and beheld the figure
OF Mr. Morgan McCorkle standing in
the doorway. There was o distressed
look on the face of that worthy gentle
man that ut once enlisted the editors
sympathizing attention. He held an
open letter in his hand, as he advanced
toward the middle of the room.
'As man as has alters borne a fair
reputation" began Mr.. McCorkle slowly,

Wages of Massachusetts Wood. workers

The Springfield Republican says The
report of our labor bureau does not show
how many carpenters, cabinet-n ers,

It is fair to suppose that they number
five or six thousand, however, and they
are scattered all over the State. The
average wages vary from $3.50 day to
So. so in different localities for carpenters
and about 80 cents less for cabinet-mak-
ers. Sawmill hands and chairmakers
have lower wages, averaging perhaps
50. 25 throughout the State. A firm in
Boston pay stair-builders $3.50, carpen-
ters and turner's So, engineer S3, team
