warning, and by the sheer cussed-
ness OF their nature, a party of
Cheyennes, Kiowas and what not,
on the 9th of July, Killed the man at
CaVerners whose ranch | was neoo-
tiatlug 10 purchase-killed the Mex
leans at the plaza whose dogs had
attacked me, two While men at En-
ery's, one at Fishers, and murdered
the gallant Capt Conn on his ranch,
fighting to the last IN defence Of his
noble fiocks. They captured the
wool train of Don lomero, tied his
Mexican drivers to the wagons and
hacked off their legs ana arms, and
then set fire and burned the whole.
This, and much other Strengthening
was done, but | have made particu-
lar mention only of those whom |
knew.
After cutting the throatSof sheep
to the full of their Internal wanton-
ness OF destruction, and gathering
up all the stock that could he driven
off, the devils went back to whence
they came, with scalps dangling
from their belts and laden with plum
der; went back and will turn up
good Indians, | suppose, at the fail
payment, and then draw plenty OF
provisions, powder and blankets for
the next visit.
After what had happened, it did
not seem advisable to be in a hurry
about moving to that part OF the
country.

Nor did it occasion any more com
Portable reflections the fact that
the night before, mine host had, IN
til late hour, entertained me with
the particulars of these atrociouS
dealings-otten indeed warning me
of the danger to which | was eX-
posed III travelling unarmed and un-
attended.
That morning for the first time, |

been through solitary parts Of the
country, without thought OF per
Sonal risk. 1t was noticeable how
ever that everybody went thorough
ly armed-the explanation being that
known preparation for attack or de
fence, has the effect to repress insult
and aggression if meditated, AMI
thus TO maintain an equilibrium
among the turbulent elements OF So
ciety.
But | viii here say, that not only
did nothing of menace or hurt occur
in my personal experience, but on
the contrary Kindness and hoSpitail-

all our shilling mouthly serials for brilancy

1t is simply wonderful shiIling's worth
Nothing can be more charming than the
cuts-fuli of force and vigor; the light and
shade are managed with a truly artistic
power. Out of its one and twenty original
articles we really do not Know which to
choose as best, for each and all are excel

Not only is it true that Scribner's Month
ly excels the English Magazines, but it is
''Ihe best Of the American Moathiies."
In the extent, variety ard artistic excel

ltsaas never been even approached, much
less excelled. 1t has larger page and gives
greater variety in its contents than any
ether OF the standard American Monthlies
In literary character, and in the brillian
cy and ability Of its Editorial Departments
it enjoys an equal pre-eminence.
Its conductors started with the de6n tie
aim of making it the best magazine in the
world, OF which they have never for mo-
ment lost slgat, and they point with pride
and pleasure to the May and June mum bers
recently issued and ask for them a candid
examination and careful comparison Of

this influence, or careless in relation to the
