To THEIR CREDT'-We wish to place
to the credit OF City Sergeant Davis
and his deputies, the excellent order
preserved by them at Washington Hall
during Professor Macallisters entertain
ments last week. Every attempt at
rowdyism on the part of the boys in the
gallery was promptly suppressed, and
the yelling, whistling and stamping
ANNOYANCE to waicl people have here
torore been subjected WAS banished from
the Hall. We trust this sort of thing
NAV be continued. One of the plea
sures of attending a performance is de-
ri, ed from ones being able to Lear as
we'll as TO see, and we have been in
Washington Hall when it WAS impossi.
bic to hear what was said on the stage
because OF the stamping and yelling OF
unruly boys.

LADIES travelling through Canada by

their luggage unnecessarily searched, hut
one of the officials recently got his deserts.
1t happened that Yankee school teacher
on her way from Kansas to Vermont
passed through the Dominion, Eith a
trunk packed to bursting with nothing con-
traband. When the officer demanded her
keys she begged him not TO open it, assur-
ing him it had come through from Kansas,
contained simply clothes andbooks, and was
so full, that it would be very troublesome
to repack it. But he sternly demanded the
key, and maliciously pulled every thing out
to The very bottom; then, finding her asser-
tons true, he returned the key, and advised
her to 'hurry up and get the traps back"
as the train would soon move. "What,s
that to me?" said the quick-witted woman,

THE APACHES.
A Conquered Peace.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-Details of
the peace conference at Camp Verde, April
6, are received tonight. The conference
resulted in the unconditional submission
and surrender of two of the worst bands of
Apaches. Peace was brought about through
the complete route of the Apaches, who
have for the last twenty years defed the
Government. Over two hundred warriors
have been killed in TIM last campaign in the
Businesses Of the Apache country. The
council opened at $50 A. NJ. Cracky "a
Mohsve) was the interpreter. Shuzier Pal,
a war chief of the Tonic Apaches, and $50
men, women and children Joined in the
council. The warriors gave up their
arms, and the talk began. The
Apache chiefs were the first speak.
ers. All acknowledged complete
defeat and desired peace. Gen. Crooke &c
cepted the surrender in a few remarks.
The chief promised TO send word to all out
side Indians with arms to come in and sur
render. Passes to protect the runners
from troops and settlers] were promised,
and the conference broke up. The van
pushed Apaches went up the river to the
old post, where a feast was given them.
The general policy will be to treat the In
dians humanely, place them on reserVa-
tons, make them no promises which will
not be fulfilled, to maintain order among
them, instruct them in simple duties to
God and man, and thus prove to them that
peace is better than war. Gen. Crook in
general orders cnmmends by name a long
list of officers and soldiers for gallantry in
the last campaign. Perfect harmony exists
between the officers, Indians and the War
Department. The terms of the treaty will
be strictly enforced. There seems to be no
doubt but the peace thus inaugurated will
be permanent.

About 300 horses are sheltered in the Quar-

Abercrombie to escape drowning. Some
houses in McCsnnleyville are entirely
under water, while those on high ground
have from one to three feet Of water in

sustained no serious loss. Some families
living on the low grounds here have been
compiled to abandon their houses, and
seek shelter with their more fortunate
friends. The storm commenced on Sun
day afternoon, gradually growing colder
until Wednesday evening, when the rain
turned to snow, growing in severity until
last evening, When it was nearly, if not
quite equal, to the great storm of January.
The wind is blowing a gale, aud the snow
is drifting badly. The river here is rising
rapidly, but no damage has been done.

A ROMANCE connected with the wreck
of the Atlantic was the discovery that one
of the sailors of the i'll fated steamer,
whose life was sacrificed in efforts to save
others, was q young woman of about
twenty-five years of age. Her sex was not
known until the body was washed ashore
aud the rude clothing removed prepare
tory to burial. She had Sci we'd as q com
mon sailor for three voyages, and was
favorlte sbipmate with all. She is des-
cribed as having fewer of the vices Incl
dent to a sailors life than is usual, but she
was, nevertheless, as Jolly an old tar as
any of them. One Of the survivors of the
crew in speaking of h?r, remarked, 81 didn't
know Bill was woman. He was good
fellow, though, and l am sorry he was a
woman" The most singular part of the
whole story is that the woman was an
American, and was about the only one of
that nationality belonging to the crew.
Who she was and where she came from,
and her motive for leading such a strange
life of hardship, never will be known.
