Striking Back.

The spectacle Of bookseller turning to
rend pursuing critic is not a very COM
mon one, and we are rather inclined to
wish that it was. Certainly the adverti-
sing columns Of the newspapers would be
full of life and entertainment if publish
ing houses generally followed the example
Of Roberts Brothers. These gentlemen
print under the head of New Publications
in some Of the papers vigorous and feel
ing answer to certain remarks of "The
New York Nation, weakly critical jour-
nal" on the latest production of Miss Lou
lisa Alcott, and after citing an Objectionable
sentence from the review, they sarcastically
ask: "Will thsNation put on its glasses
and parse these lines ~ If any further
to the reviewers mistakes be
required, Roberts Brothers furnish it in a
return of the sales of all Miss Alcott's
books arranged in tabular form, with good
fat figures.

Another SwindIe in chicago.

From the Chicago Tribune.
At an auction on Bates street the other
day, the auctioneer put up a stuffed goose,
called it an eagle, and sold it to colored
man for 60 cents. The buyer discovered
the imposition pretty soon and wanted his
money refunded. The auctioneer refused
to comply, and the African went to the
central station with his complaint. ats a

Music in the West,

In the matter of musical festivals the
central States are rapidly surprising the
Older communities of the Atlantic coast,
and it is not impossible that in the course
of few years we may look to the Ohio
Valley and the neighboring regions for
the most vigorous and general evidence of
musical culture. The festival organized
in Cincinnati in 1873 under the direction
of Theodore Thomas was the beginning of
a very important movement. 1t was fol-
lowed by second festival in the same
place last spring, which is generally ad-
mitted to have been the best ever given in
the United States, and it is now announced
that next May Louisville will claim her
turn. Thomas has been engaged for d.
rector, and the city promises to collect for
him chorus of about eight hundred
The programmes at these festivals have
very high artistic value; they are quite
free from clap-trap and humbug; the prep.
aration for them has always been earnest
and they exert consequently an admirable
influence upon the community in which
they are held. Bu. of course their effect
depends upon the character Of the con.
ductoy.-T4bune

A New Mexican MARRIAGE,
F.0Jn the Denver

IfOW We DeHtef NeNS.
Something out of the routine of social
life in New Mexico occurred at Albuquer-
que last week, the details of which are
furnished by correspondent of the Neus.
1t was the marriage of Miss Lola,
Chayes, daughter of Col. J. Francisco
Chayes, of Los Lunas, to Don Mariana
Armijos. The preparations for the event
had been more than ordinarily elaborate
and extensive. All the uppertendom of
New Mexican society for two hundred
miles round about received highly-scented
invitations. The wedding took place in
the evening at $50 o'clock. The arrival
Of the hour for the taking place of the
ceremony was announced by the booming
Of artillery, the albuquerque battery hav-
ing taken position in front of the brides
residence. The band of the Sth Cavalry,
which had been transported from Santa Fe
for the occasion, played wedding march,
and after the ceremony continued to dis
course music throughout the evening"
Supper tables, loaded with the choicest
menu, had been arranged for 500 guests,
and fully that number partook Of the re-
freshmens. The band played all night,
and the young folks danced till broad
daylight, and at sunrise the bride and
groom, and most of the merry makers, re-
paired to the village church, where mass
and prayers were offered for the happy
couple. Breakfast, scarcely less elaborate
than supper, over with, the newly married
pair with their immediate attendants, pro.
eeeded in carriages to Los Lunas, followed
by procession Of friends, bent on seeing
the affair out. The brass band followed
close behind. That night Los Lunas wit
messed a social sensation rarely if ever
equalled before in the Territory. The
wedding reception lasted till II o'clock,
but dancing, music and feastisg continued
all night.

THE Evangelists,, Nessr. Moody and
sankey, having concluded their labors in
Brooklyn, commenced their revival services
in Philadelphia yesterday. The attendance
was large and long before hour announced
for the commencement of the services the
streets we're crowded with persons clamor-
ing for admission. The avenues Of access
to the theatre Of these religious devotions
which is the old freight depot at the corner
of Thirteenth and Market streets, was
crowded The excitement was intense, and
the svangelists were made the cynosure of
all eyes.
In fact the scene is described as bearing
as much interest to the curious, as though
they had assembled at theatre to witness
the exhibition Of some thrilling play.
This may have the semblance of Christi.
anitv, but it seems more as emotional ia
sanity, or the veriest of morbid curiosity
than anything else. We have had in
stances In our own city of this kind of ex-
element and can't say that any good has
ever come out of it. Packing and cram

rum We I0dU -lldN GuzSfte.
A theory was propounded some little
time ago by an eminent French physician
that the practice Of playing on wind instru-
ments was beneficial rather than otherwise
to the health. The accuracy. however, of
this opinion appears open to doubt, if the
statement is correct that the band of the
regiment Of Bluffs, now stationed at CAL
cutta, has lately been broken up, owing to
the discovery on medical inspection that
no fewer than fifteen of the twenty Eve
members of the band were unfit, "owing
to the state of their hearts," to play wind
instruments. On the other hand, the
Calcutta Eaghshman believes that
only two of these afflicted musicians had
complained Of any distress from their
exertions, and that the rest are in better
condition than when they Joined the band,
and ARE much surprised and disappointed
at the prospect Of being relagated to regi-
mental duty" 1t is to be hoped that no
effort will be spared to ascertain the real
state of the case, for the question is of
some Importance to the members of brass
bands generally.

THE TRIAL ENDED.

THE TRIAL of Daniel O'Neil which
ended on Saturday, in the jury rendering a
verdict Of mot guilty." was sequence that
did not surprise any one after the evidence
in the case had been heard and digested.
The charge Of Judge Gilpin shows
deep and thorough research into authori.
ties, and as he says is after the Common
Laws as laid down by our English ances-
tors. The most important point in this
case was to ascertain the laws governing
an officer Of justice in the exercise Of his
powers how and when he shall use those
weapons that have been placed in his hands
to protect or aid him in preservin. the
peace. Wingate was guilty merely of
misdemeanor, and not felon, hence the
officer transcribed his powers in firing at
him, and if it was the bullet from
his pistol that killed Miss Doyle, the Judge
said it was murder. This same trouble of
officers transcending the powers Of Office
appears to have affected the police Of other
places, and nowhere more than in Phila-
delphia, where it was proven that they
were not properly instructed as to the
times and occasions for using firearms,
and such may be the case here. But a
number Of Instances have occurred where
Judges took precisely the same ground as
did Judge Gilpin in lis charge on satur-
day,
One of these was in Baltimore, where
two gamblers, named Goodrich, both bro
theirs, became involved in a quarrel, when
one drew revolver and fired at his an
tagonist, missing him, and killing by
stander. He was found guilty of murder
in the second degree, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for long term Of years. But,
as the Judge said, they must either find
ONeil guilty Of something or nothing,
and they brought in a verdict of mot
guilty" 1t is concluded that they deemed
him innocent of having shot the girl, and
leaves the death Of Miss Doyle in great
er mystery than ever.

One day last week an advertisement ap-
peared in the Public Ledger, to the effect
that twenty-five ladies would be employed
to display goods in the Centennial Exposi.
ton. The advertiser was SO overwhelmed
by applications that he was obliged to hire
parlors at 2S9 North Tenth street to re-
ceive the ladies. The applicant being d.
rected to address "Foreign Commissioner, /"
1t became q matter of interest to see what
manner of man the ':Foreign Commission

arriving. The toilets Of some of these
ladies seemed sufficiently costly to provide
comfortably for family during the entire
winter had their price been so invested.
Animated conversation was carried on be-
tween the ladies. Some of them ventured
the opinion that the "Foreign Commission
er" must be Frenchman, and remarked,
"You know what they are" Another
thought he must be Russian, and ventur.s
ed the opinion that in that case she would
not engage in bis service lest he might. use

made statement of his requirements, and
told the ladies that the successful applicants
would be notified oftheir appointment by
mail, and that the duties were to take

range from eight to ten dollars per week.

An Odd Accident.

A CHILD sTUMBLEs INTO A PIT AND DIS
COVERS THE REMAINS OF AN INDIAN
WARRIOR.
From the Liberty Ta., Meas.
Two small children of Mr.. John B
Hicks we're playing on the banks Of Staun'
ton river on the Franklin side, on Wed.
nesday Of last week, when one of them, in
running about, with cry suddenly disap'
pearing from view. Her brother rushed
to her assistance, and found her standing al
depth of eight or nine feet from the sur.
face of the earth. The girl had broken a
/ crust of earth, and had fallen into sort Of
chamber or cave. Her brother went off to
procure stick in order to assist her out,
and in the meanwhile she proceeded to
look around the strange abode into which
she had SO unceremoniously intruded. She
found herself in chamber, some sixteen
feet in length by twelve feet in breadth and
six feet in height. What was her surprise
to find, by the aid Of the light shining from
the opening made By her descent, what ap-
pearsd to her the form of man stretched
along one side of the cave.
In great alarm she fastened, with the
assistance Of her brother, to scramble out
of the hole, and the the two children ran
to Mr.. Hicks, who was in field near by,
and told him what had happened. He
went at once to the spot with neighbor
who happened to be present, and proceeded
to explore the cave. Their surprise may
be better imagined than described at find
ing laying on raised surface at one side
OF the cave the naked body of an Indian
lie was full six feet high, and was lying
on his back with his arms crossed on his
bosom, the remains of coronet of feathers
still encircling his head, and his face hide
ously painted. BY his side lay bow and
arrow, several pieces Of pottery and several
earns of corn. The body was apparently
in perfect state Of preservation, the dark
red skin not at all shrivelled, and the fea-
lures though pinched, and is generally the
case in death, still not marred. After gaz.
ing at the doad warrior for few moments, |
Mr.. Hicks companion stopped down and |
took hold of the body, when te his surprise,
it crumbled to dust. The vases and bow
and arrow were found to be sound, and |
were taken away by Mr.. Hicks, in whose
possession they still are.
The two gentlemen then examined the |
cave, and found it to be apparently artiti-
cial, perfectly dry, with the upper side
crusted or powdered with some white sub
stance thought to be lime. Thus, by a
strange chance, were exposed to view the
mortal remains Of an Indian warrior, who,
from the manner in which he was inferred,
was evidently chieftain of power and re.
