GEN. CROOK AND THE COURT
MARTIAL.

The special Corr spondent of the Aho,
writing from Tucson, Arizona, gives
the following:

portion of Arizona are at this time
much exercised over the recent " lem
eral Order, No s33"from Gen. Crook

logical aud analytical review of the
strange proceedings of the Court
which was convened here at Camp Low

the trial of First Lieutenant Royal Il.
Whitman, of che Third Regiment of
United States Cavelry, Che has been
Quartermaster aud Indian Agent at
Camp Grant for sometime,) on the
charge III g Drunkenness" 1t appears
that majority of the officers compos-
ing the Court belonged to the accuseds
own regiment--suc old West Pointers
as Capt James Curtis, of the class of
1861. (These officers have since gone
to San Francisco with their regiments,
en- route to Fort Mcpherson in Me-
braska) Curtis was President of the
Court. Te the charge and specifca-
ton the accused, by his counsel, Major
Henry B. Miner, Twelfth Infantry,
| Commanding Camp LOVELY, pleaded
in bar of trial, that the accusations
against him came, originally, from
civilian of Tucson, aud were inspired
by malice. The Court sustained this
plea without having required the de-
fendant to substantiate it, and thus abb
ruptly Terminated their " labors."

Court as silly, absurd aud fareical in the

of the service and in thus thwarting
the object for which they were assem-
bled, they have placed Liert. II. S.
Whitman in a worse light than he b.
fore occupied. Whatever object he
may have had in avoiding a trial, it was
due to the officers of the Regiment of
which the Court was largely composed,
that these charges may be legally inves-
tigated, so that, if innocent, his honor
might be vindicated, aud if guilty, the

Buried by q Bear.

A gentleman from the lower county,
where grizzly bears hel p the herders to
take care of the sheep, relates curious
adventure which occurred to an Indian
herdman in his employ. He sent the
man to distant portion of large
rancho to look after herd of sheep.
The Indian at nightfall got under
shed with roof of branches, but open
on all sides, and lay down in his blank
cts. After few hours sleep, he was
awakened by feeling the hot breath of
soma amin " on his face. lie moved
his arms, and at once understood the
situation-a huge bear was snufling him.
The man, with great presence of mind,
determined to keep perfectly still, for
he knew if he moved or cried out, one
blow OF those huge paws would break
his skull like walnut. Bruin scratched
off the blankets and seized the Indian
by the leg. Though suffering terribly,
the brave fellow did not allow groan
or cry to escape him. The bear dragged
nim from the hut for some distance and
then commenced to dig hole to lay
the Indian in and cover him up from
the coyotes. After the grave had been
dug deep enough the bear (contentlng
himself with about a pound of flesh from
the victims thigh) moved the body to
the hole and covered it up. The In
dian managed to keep the earth over
his face loose enough to allow him to
breathe, ard when the bear retired, he
crawled out toward tho mustang, which
was picket d some yards outside the
hut. With great difficulty he mounted,
and then rode toward The rancho house:
A doctor was sent for, and pronounced
the wounds, though severe and painful,
not likely to prove fatal. The next day
hunt was organized, and the gr'Hzly
was killed in the neighborhood OF the
spot where he had slowed away his in
tended meal. California paper.

An Ornament of Society.

Hugh Mara, the Philadelphia assassin,
who has been sent to the penitentiary
for short term for shooting Aldermen
McMullen, has made a sworn confession
of his crimes. His affidavit contains
startling disclosures. He AYERS that he
attempted to murder Revenue Officer
Brooks; was instigated by local poli'i.
cal gang, whose names he furnishes.
When Mara's heart failed him, he was
bullied until the attempted murder was
accomplished, and when he had done
the work he was secreted for weeks, Car.
ried from plac to place, and paid five
dollars fer the fiendish job. Then fol-
lows the particulars as to the alibi which
he says was fabricated for his lefense
The terrible coal oil fire at Ninth and
Wharton streets was instigated by the
same gang. Men, women and children
were startled from their be-ls on win
ter night, with the flames around them,
forced to fly from their burning homes
only to be eugulfed in rivers OF flame
sweeping through the streets. Nothing
can be more horrible than the contem.
plation Of this calamity as a deliberate
work of organized crime. On the list
of accusations, it is charged that the
attempted destruction of the Union
League house by fire was the work of
the same crowd, as was also the murder
of Peter Mannox and the enormous
burglary of the saving fund, Twelfth
and Chestnut, in 1868.

Washington Etiquette.

The fashionable gossip from Washing
ton is that the wives of Cabinet officers
will not return calls this winter, but will
hold receptions as usual. A catalogue
of names will be kept in books furnish
ed for this purpose, in which callers will
write their addresses, and from which the
list of invitations will be made up. This
abolishes the nuisance of "cards." The
rules of Washington etiquette are, how.
ever, not to be relaxed. The members
wives are expected to call first upon the
Senators wives, and the Senators wives
must in turn first visit the wives of the
Supreme Court Judges and the Secreta-
ries, and all must first pay their respects
to the ladies Of the diplomatic corps.
The Presidents wife is not expected to
visit at all, but all must pay court to her.
These rigid rules have their absurdities,
one Of which, noted by correspondent,
is that Mrs. Senator Ames Blanche
Butler1 receives visits from people that
would not, on any account, call on Mrs.
Gen. Butler, who is only the wife OF a

About Our Bees.

Uncle Sam has bees enough to give us
all sting There are two million bee
hives in the United States. Every hive
yields on an average a little over %
pounds of honey. The average price at
which honey is sold is - cents pound.
So that after paying for their own board,
our bees present us with revenue of
over So, 800, 900. TO reckon it another
way, they make clear gift of over a
pound of honey to every man, woman
and child in the vast domain of the
United States. In 1869 over y. $50 300
pounds of wsx were made and given to
US by those industrious workers. The
keeping of bees is one of the n ost profit
able investments that our people can
make of their money. The profit arising
from the sale of surplus honey averages
from 30 to 200 per cent. of the capital

Steam on Canals.

The New Yorl, Herald is encouraged
to believe that the problem of propell-
ing canal boats by steam is virtually
solved. A steam canal boat has now
made two trips from Buffalo to New
York city. On the second voyage, which
terminated few days ago, it had Car
go of over 1000 bushels of corn, and &C
complishcd the entire distance through
the canal and down the river in a few
hours less than six days. If the diff
culties of applying steam to canals
without injury to the banks and locks
have been overcome in the construction
of this boat, doubtless a very considera-
bic increase of speed will be realized, in
improvements that will Immediately
suggest themselves. But it is not only
the saving of eight or ten days in time
that is promised by the success of this
experiment, but also coniderable re-
duction in cost as compared with horse
