smoke of the villages, which we Judged
to be distant about fifteen miles.
About 10 o'clock a. m. we discovered
small party of our enemies not more
than one and half miles to our left,
using every effort to cut US off. They
had OWNED our intention, and. knowing
the country well, avoided the trouble
which we had encountered at the gully,
and were now as near the villages as we
were.
-Four miles more and we would be safe
within the principal village, which could
now be plainly seen, situated as it is
upon high piece of ground.
1t was indeed race for life. Our
horses were IN lather of sweat, and al
ready beginning to fag. Should one of
them stumble and fall, its rider would
be at the mercy of the savages. On, on
we sped. We were now within two miles,
aye, less than that, of the village, and
the Indians not more than half mile
from us. If we only had arms but we
had none.
The horses seemed to understand
something of what was going on, and
bent every energy to their work. Each
OF us now began to swing an arm to
attract the attention of the villagers.
When within half mile of safety our
enemies were almost within shooting
distance of us. We began to shout,
still making our pantomimic gestures.
In few moments the housetops were
covered with people, and when we were
within a hundred yards of the nearest
house a number of braves rushed out.
armed, to our assistance. Our pursuers
were not hundred yards from us, but
when they saw the Moquis coming to
our assistance, they stopped and fred at
us, but without effect. They then turned
and rode off in an easterly direction.
The Moquis took us in, and used us
like brothers, furnishing us whatever
we needed. We remained with them
until spring, when we made our way to
Fort Wingate, New Mexico.
Brady ascertained that one of the
Navsjoes understood some English.
which was the reason he refused to talk.
and he also learned from their conversa-
ton that they intended starting for their
own villages the morning after the night
on which we made our escape, where
they intended to take us, for what pur-
pose we could not tell, but we supposed
for torture.
One of the horses on which we made
the race for life died from overhead.

Things a Married Man Cannot Help
Thinking.

That all the girls used to be in love
with him.
That all the widows are now.
That if he were a widower he could
marry again whenever he chose.
That all the other fellows are fools.
That he wouldn't introduce any fellow
he knows to his sister or his daughter.
That his wife is a little Jealous.
That she used to be pretty girl
That his mother could make good
bread; that his wife cannot.
That he wouldn't trust most women.
That if he should ever speculate he
would make his fortune.
That he would enjoy country life.
That his girls will never be SO silly as
to marry.
That his mother-in-law may be fine
old, out
That smoking never hurt man vet.
That with little management the SER
wants would always do well, and never
give warning.
That his shirt buttons are grossly neg
lected.
That he despises old bachelors.

The Racing Season of 1873.

There have been great gaps made in
the ranks of horses since last fall. The
mighty Longfellow will never again be
saddled on race track, nor will his old
opponent, Kingfisher. Lyttleton and
Gienelg, too, are incapacitated for fur
Their training. But the majority of
those who have done great things are
well and fourishing. Joe Daniels,
Monarchist, Harry Bassett, Alarm,
Helmbold, Saucebox, London, Abd-el-
Koree, Alroy, Aureola, Ortalan, Tub
man, Hubbard, Woodbina, and other
pubic favorites are all on the war path,
and some rafting and exciting struggles
are sure to be witnessed when they
meet. A change in the weights has
been made by the Saratoga and Mon
mouth Park Associations, the six-year-
old weight, which used to be 11S
pounds, being reduced to ia pounds.
which is now the maximum weight
There is no doubt that the change will
be beneficial in one respect, as the old
horses formerly had great disadvan-
tage. But it would have been a wise
stepfor the associations to raise the scale
of weights all through, so as to obviate
the difficulty which exists of procuring
good riders. The weight for three
year-olds in the purse races is only
ninety pounds, far too small, and it is of
course next to impossible to get good
rider at this weight. The mania for
fast time is one reason for the low scale,
and there can be no objection to having
it raised. A three-year-old that cannot
carry 100 pounds two miles is not worth
the expense of training.
Not taking into account the four DAYS
racing at Baltimore, as that city is rath-
er beyond the limits of the metropoli-
tan circuit, we find that between the 7th
of June and the 10Th of August there
will be twenty-six days racing, during
which about ninety races will be con-
tested. Last year 34S race-horses ran
at the great meetings, two-thirds of
them i'll New York State, and it is GER
tain there will be even more this year.
With more horses in training than ever
before known, with more money given
to be run for, and with the increasing
taste for this kind of sport among the
people, are we wrong in predicting that
the coming season will be far more bril-
liant than any previous one? Those
who have studied the subject will, we
think, agree with this opinion.

EGO AND ECHO:

asked of Echo, t'other day,
whose words are few and often funny,
what TO question she should say
of courtship, love, and matrimony.
cuoth Echo, plainly, " Matter of money

Oh selfish, rnercenary firt?
Quosh Echo, sharply, g Nary firt"

She promised to amend her life
and SIN no moroccan believe her?
Quoth Echo, with decision, &c Leare her"
But if some maiden with a heart.
On me should venture to bestoy it
Pray, should act the wiser part
To take the treasure or forego it?
Quoth Echo, very promptly, Z" Go it,
Bnt what, if seeming afraid
To bind her fate in Hymen's fetter,
She VOWS she means to die maid,
In answer to my loving letter?
Quoth Echo, very coolly, " Let her,"
What if, in spite OF her disdain,
l find my heart entwined about
With Cupid's dear, delicious chain,
So closely that L can't get out =?
Quoth Echo, laughingly, " Get OUT
But if some maid with beauty blest,
AS pure and fair as Heaven can make her,
Will share my labor and my rest
Till envious death shall oyertake her?

A RACE FOR LIFE.

On the I'd day of December, 1865, a
little more than year after the found
ing, by Gov. Goodwin, of the town of
Prescott, and the locating of the capital
of Arizon thereat, and while the Indians
were still harassing and numbering the
settlers and miners throughout the
length and breadth of the Territory,
William Brady and the writer started
from Prescott City across the country
east to Santa Fe, New Mexico, dis
tance of five hundred miles, where we
expected to take the stage for the East.
We were equipped with plenty of arms,
ammunition, two go d horses, a pack
mule, plenty of blankets, and provisions
for fifteen days, by which time at most
we expected to reach the settlements on
the Rio Grande.
The weather was delightful
weather as is only seen upon the pla-
teaus bordering on the Great Cordil-
leras. We expected no snow for at least
one month, and it was with few regrets,
and consequently light hearts, that we
rode along that morning, leaving per-
haps forever the country where, for more
shan two years, we had struggled in our
efforts to develop the rich resources of
the region, and, with the four or five
hundred co-laborers, suffered untold pri-
vations-at times almost dying of hun
ger and, thirst, constantly harassed by
hostile Indians, with little prospect of
succor from the Government. Although
our journey lay through country in
tested by hostile tribes for over two
hundred miles, we had become so used
- h. Is IL
the fact scarcely gave us an uneasy
thought. We looked beyond the dam
ger, beyond the great plains, into pleas
ant homes, from which we had been abb
sent for years; and visions of happy
greetings which we expected to receive
within the month took the place, for the
time, of all other thoughts
Nothing of special interest occurred
until the second day out, when we met a
small party of soldiers, who, with the
United States express, had the day be-
fore been attacked, the expressman
killed, and two others of the party
wounded. Discouraging as this intelli-
gence would seem to be, we determined
to press forward as rapidly as possible,
so as to reach by little after nightfan
the dividing line between the Apaches
and Hualipis, the latter of whom prefer
red to be friendly to the whites. We
were yet distance of twenty miles to
the above-named point, and il was then

noon our attention was attrscted to white

evidences of the bloody deed. We die

All About Printing.

There is prevailing ignorance re-
garding the art of printing. We know
all about it, being in the business. Go

printer. He did it with his feet, leav-
ing his prints wherever he went.
Printers have been on the tramp ever
since
The first movable type was in the if

ternined who moved it. Guttenburg is

thing in those days.

since. But the "Grecian type" is our

Printing was introduced into Paris in
1470. Being in France, the introduction
was very formal.
The largest size of type used for books
IS Great Primer. We never got any,
