SAN DIEGO. Dec. 20th.-The Tucson
Arizona Citizen has the following:
The trial In the United States Dis
trict Court OF the persons indicted for
the notorious Camp Graut massacre
will probably close to-day. The tes-
timony closed yesterday, and the evil
dence Is being reviewed to-day BY the
attorneys. It is n foregonc conclusion
that the accused will be acquitted upon
the facts. Enthusiastically proven, that
the Indians killed were upon no reSer-
walton, and were at war upon the sur
rounding settlements. Notwithstand-
ing the Government fed the Indians
killed there. they were absolutely At
war with the people.
Lieutenant Whitman, In charge OF
said Indians, declined to swear to the
statements he spread over the country
in his official capacity.
The proof elected on the trial has
~astonlshed many close observers OF the
Indians' actions. Hardly any n be-
lieved that the Indians were rs guilty
rs they have been proven to DO.
The testimony will DO sent to San
Francisco for publication In pamphlet
form.
To-day the Courthouse Is full, and
nearly 100 Papago Indians are in and
about to hear the verdict.
Lieutenant Whseler's photographer
will take views Of the 107 accused per-
sons, ALSO Tho jury and Court. The
views will Do offered to Harpcrs'
Weekly.
The Borlerer. ut Los Cruces, just
received, says that depredat!ons arc
frequent by Indians trailed direct to
the Canada Alamosa, where the noted
Cochise Is said to be, and intimates
that neither the agent of that paper
o any other one can make those In
dams abstain from outrages except by
absolute force. The news from here
has never been untrue about the Indian
depredators making Government posts
their boxes Of supplies and recruiting
stations. az

QuIEr TINES IN WAsHuNoroN.-
Washington Department officials state
that they have not experienced so
quiet n time on tho assembling OF Con-
gress for many years. Although there
have been in Washington for n week
past n large number of Senators and
Representatives, their visits to the de-
partments were few and far between.
and the opportunities for places for
their constituents unfrequent. It Is
the opinion In official circles that this
unusual hesitancy In seeking Office Is
caused by the DESIRE to avoid the strin-
gent examination which It Is feared
would DO incumbent upon the appli.
cant, in accordance with the rules laid
down by the Civil Service Commission.

E0W to Tell the Age of Oysters.

It is a well-known fact that an oys-
terman can tell the age of bivalyes to a
nicely. This is not done, however, by
looking them in the mouth, but simply
by counting the successive layers or
plates overlapping each other, of which
an oyster she'll is composed. These
are technically called "shoots," aud
each of them makes a years growth.
Up to the time OF the maturity Of the
oyster these shoots are regular and sue
cessive, but after that time they be-
come irregular, and are piled one above
the tther so that the shell becomes
more and more thickened and bulky
Judging from the size and thickness
that some shells attain, this mollusk is
capable of attaining a patriarchal Ion
geyity, and an oyster with fifty or
even three-score years upon its back
may be CHANGED to be met with. They
are IN perfection when from five to
seven years old.

From the Rochelle dlD Register, Aug. 10.
Mrs Elizabeth Strang, wife Of John
l.. Strang, blacksmith doing business
at the village of Lynnville, ten miles
north of Rochelle, met with sudden
death on Tuesday afternoon last, under
very painful circumstances. She went
into the garden to pick up some apples
that had fallen from the trees, and
while doing SO was stung by honey
bee from ahiye near by. Shewas stung
in the temple, and the pain was at once
so great she started for the house.
Getting rapidly worse she LAID down on
the bed, and in not to exceed five min
utes was dead. Her face and head
Immediately commenced swelling and
turning black, and when buried the
following day she presented frightful
spectacle. Very feshy natural, her
head had swelled to twice it's natural
size and seemed to be a mass il the
last stages of decomposition. She was
strong and rugged woman, and being
stricken down in the flush OF health by
an instrument SO unthought of filled
the neighborhOod with a strange feeling
of gloom.

The Cow Tree,

Among the many curious phenomena
presented to the traveller, none affect
the imagination more powerfully than
the " Galactodendoon Title" or Cow
tree. This useful tree grows on the
parched side of rocks among the noun
tains OF Venezuela, and has dry leathery
foliage, with large woody roots scarce
ly penetrating into the ground. For
several months in tbs year the leaves
are not moistened by a shower, the
branches look dead and withered, but
when the trunk is bored a bland and
nourishing milk flows from it. The
vegetable fountain flows most freely at
sunrise, and at that time the natives
are seen coming from all quarters pro-
vided with large bowls to receive the
milk, which grows yellow and thickens
at the surface. Some empty their yes
sells on the spot while others carry their
contents to their children.

IRoN UNDER THE MICROsCoPE.-Ac-
cordlng to the experiments made by
Mr.. Schott, the eminent chemist, the
different qualities of iron and steel can
readily be distinguished by means of
the microscope. Thus the CRYSTALS of
iron are double pyramids, in which the
proportion of axes to the bases varies
with the quality of the iron. The
smallness of the crystals and the height
of the pyramids composing each ele-
ment are in proportion to the quality
and density of the metal, which are
seen also in the finess of the surface
As the proportion of carbon diminishes
n the steel, the pyramids have so much
the less height. In pig iron, and the
lower qualities of hard steel, the crvs-
tails approach more closely the cubic
form. Forged iron has its pyramids
hattened and reduced to superposed
parallel leaves, whose structure consti
tutes what is called the nerve of the
steel. The best quality of steel has all
its crystals disposed to parallel lines
each crystal filling the interstices be
tween the angles of those adjoining
These crystals have their axes iii the
/ direction of the PERCUSSION they under
go in the working. Practically, good
4 steel examined under the microscope
has the appearance of large groups of
/ beautiful crystals, similar to points of
needles, at parallel and disposed in the
! same direction.
