Toole. the English comedian, had an experience
in Washington regarding oysters, which is exceed
ingly amusing. Joe Parker, well known Wash
ington wag, with few friends was ''showng hun
the sights" and In the course Of their rambles
they naturally druted down to the rivers side,
where the oyster boats are moored. Toole, de-
sirous to do the .thandsome thing" vired his
friends Ito try an oyster, you know
Certainly OF course, they would, and they
did. Tooe, according to the informant,
must have put about six dozen Of the bivalves
''out of sight," and his companions were not far
behind in doing full justice TO the invitation ex-
tended them. When the feast was ended Toole,
turning to the colored man who opened the
oysters for them, inquired. 'Wnats the damage,
waiter?"
The darkey, who already had had the wink, re-
piled, Nothing, sah"
"God bless my soul I" exclaimed the comedian.
"Oh" said Parker, "they never charge for
oysters eaten at the wharf They give them away
here. It's one OF the customs Of the country"
"God bless my SOUL" cried the actor In wonder,
'1t's wonder the 'ole town isn't down 'ere. you

Congress to extend such reasonable aid to the
Texas Pacific Railroad as Will insure Its speedy
completion; to memorable Congress TO prohibit,
under heavy penalties, all combinations between
competitive lines OF transportation, whether by
land or water, from initiating their capital by
watereu stock, and also to establish Court OF
Commercial Justice, whose decisions shall be

Of the United States; that Congress should

Destructive Worm in San Pedro
 Valley.

MT. John Montgomery, of San Pedro, informs us that the potato crop there is almost failure, and in some instances corn is much damaged. Ferd Berthold had fifteen acres in potatoes and had the best of hopes for yield of 150, ,000 pounds, but will not have above 10000 and they of inferior quality. Mr. Montgomery should have had 75,000 bs and will not get more than 10000 of low quality. Five acres, he has not pretended to harvest. Samuel McClatchy will not have from his whole crop any merchantable potatoes. The crop grew finely and bid fair to be one of the best ever raised in the valley, until struck by the pest which is entirely new to the farmers there A species of worm penetrates the stalk near the ground and works up it three or four inches and sometimes downward. Cut the stalk of and shake it, and fine stuff falls out. Of course the vitals of the plant are destroy ed and the potato never natures. The origin of the worm is uncertain, but Mr. Montgomery thinks it the product of white, flying bugs which largely prevailed there earlier in the season, and Of which the farmers killed many. He thinks they deposited the egg or germ of the worm. The early potato crop was uninjured.
 The corn crop is much damaged in places, and it is believed by the same worm. On his lower farm, Ferd Berthold should have had l50,0 900 pounds corn, and will not have above half that amount, while on his upper farm, the cropis all that was expected. Mr. Montgomery will have full yield of corn according to the acres planted. The loss of the potato crop is a severe one to the San Pedro farmers, for it is principal source of rev enue with them.

Thefts by Indians.

Thursday night, Alfonso Hickman of the upper Santa Cruz, came into Tucson and made this report: On Wednesday night the Indians cut through his corral wall and stole four horses-among them a very valuable one belonging to Dr. Handy. The wall was strong and connected with his residence. It was cut in two places, the first cut opening against another building instead of the inclosure contain ing the stock. He also reports three other animals stolen there within eight days. On discovering his loss, he at once came to Tucson, got his horse newly shod and started in pursuit with one man. He states a positive belief that the Ind ians are from the Chiricahua reserve, and these are his reasons: Eight days prior to the theft, an employee of MT. Gardner at the Santa Rita saw-mill, noticed the tracks of three large Indians and one small one going westwardly by Dayidson's springs, and the tracks about the corral and going away with the stock, cores bonded exactly in size and number. Mir. Hickman intends to follow the trail and ascertain exactly where it leads to and recover his stock, if possible.
 These thefts create much alarm out in that old bloody ground, where peace and security have prevailed for over two years.

A Couple of Successful Indian
 Battles.

Captain R. H. Montgomery, Fifth CaV- airy, commanding Camp Apache, return ed to his post December 5, after sue cessful scout in which he killed eight war riors and took prisoners of women and childen. November 29, he struck the Apaches between the old and new Verde roads and killed four buck Indians; and on the 29th, he found Q lot ot the rene- eades in Tonto Basin, killed four more warriors and took fourteen women and children prisoners. In thls e1 pedition, he had the aid of the Apache soldiers, with whom no officer, however active, earnest and sagacious, could make much progress in warning upon hostile Apaches.
 We are indebted to MT. Thomas Ewing for the particulars of Capt. Montgomery'S scout. MT. Ewing returned to Tucson on Wednesday direct from Apache, and we are pleased to notice, in much improved health. The malarial fever has lately given him a severe cutting down in flesh.
