A sure remedy for chills and fever
Ayers Ague Cure never fails.

A BIG HERD.-Captain E. B. Mil
let, Seth Mabray, j. F. Ellison and j.
E. Dewars, four we'll known cattle
men, are in the city. These gentle
men are joint owners of a herd of
cattle numbering $4,000 head now on
their way from Texas. 1t is the lar
gest herd that ever crossed the Red
River, owned and controlled by one
party. Over 200 men were in charge
of the herd when it left the San An
tonic river two weeks ago, and 700
horses are required for the herders.
Nearly half of the cattle are now at
Great Bend, Kas., and the rest are to
arrive during the next twenty days.
Mr.. Millett, in conversation with q
Times reporter last evening at the
Pacific, stated that the drive this year
will not exceed 100000 head, and that
the most of these are to 60 to Great
Bend. About $4,000 will 60 to Wich-
tia, but the big drive is farther west.
Through cattle are looking well, and
owners anticipate good prices.-Kan-

The Growth Of London.

The Leisure Hour, in speaking of
the growth Of London, says: "The
metropolis of the British Empire. the
largest city the world ever saw, COW
ers. within fifteen miles radius of
Charing Cross, nearly 700 square
miles, and numbers within these
boundaries 1000, 900 inhabitants. 1t
contains more Jews than the whole
of Palestine, more Roman Catholics
than Rome itself, more Irish than
Dublin, more Scotchmen than Edin-
burg. The port of London has every
day on its waters 1000 ships and co.
600 sailors. Upwards OF 12O persons
are added to the population daily, or
10000 yearly, a birth taking place
every eight minutes. On an average,
twenty-eight miles of streets are
opened, and 5000 new houses built
every year. In its postal districts
there is a yearly deiiverance of 1885,
100000 letters. On the Police Regis
ter there are the names of 10000
habitual criminals, increasing by
many thousands every year. More
than one-third of all the crime of the
country is committed in London, or
at least brought to light there. There
are as many beer-shops and gin-pla-
ces as would, if their fronts were
placed side by side, reach from Char
ing Gross to Portsmouth, distance
of seventy miles, and $4,000 drunk
ards are annually brought before its
magistrates. The shops open on Sum
days would form streets sixty miles
long. 1t is estimated that there are
above a million of the people who
are practically heather, wholly neg
Letting the ordinances of religion. AT
least 900 additional churches and
chapels would be required for the
wants of the people,"

A Noble Woman-A Deserved Tri.
butte to Mrs. Beecher.
From the New York Herald.


Poor Mrs. Beecher, whose sad and
quiet face has been LII object Of inter-
est to all the corners and g0ers who
have visited this protracted trial, de-
serves the respectful sympathy of all
who honor true w~OmanhOOd. This
faithful and devoted wife, whose pale
face has become so familiar to the
constant attendants in the court
room, is entitled to a larger measure
of respect and a gentler appreciation
than any other person who has all i'll
terest in this celebrated trial. Her
devoted loyalty to her husband, had
deep interest in the honor Of her fam
lily, her love for the children who
have so deep a stake in the innocence
of their father, and all the honora bic
motives which have impelled her to
come forth from the domestic retire
ment which she loves and graces, and
submit to the stare of thousands of
inquisitive, vulgar eyes, and demon
strate her unfaltering trust in the
husband to whom she was welded in
early youth, make her an object of
respectful regard. And just and gen.
erous hearts feel regret and pain that
this honored matron whom no breath
of suspicion had ever touched, to
whose pure and quiet virtues all who
know her pay her homage, should be
subjected, after a long life of unos-
t~entatious usefulness, to this fearful
trial. Whether her husband be gull
ty or innocent, Mrs. Beecher will be
honored as a true and faithful wife,
and the sympathies Of the whole
world will 60 forth to her as a wo-
mai staunchly and nobly devoted to
the father of her children and the
love of her bright and hopeful youth.
If this scandalous trial has revealed
some of the darker shades of human
character it has also exhibited some
of the purest and most beautiful; and
the noble and unfaltering constaDcy
of Mrs. Beecher to her accused hus-
band, is a redeeming trait which
sheds a pure lustre athWart this foul
and repulsive scandal. Our conf
dence in human virtue cannot be sha-
ken so long as a woman like Mrs.
Beecher illustrates every honorable
quality of her sex in circumstances so
trying as those which providence has
called her to meet. We profoundly
regret that her touching devotion to
her accused husband is not rewarded
By an immediate verdict of acquittal,
which would have given such joy to
this noble wife and admirable ma
tron. Be the verdict what it may,
she at least will remain unfalteringiy
true to the bridegroom of her youth,
and all the world will honor her for
her mistaken trust.

Indian Supplies.
From the n. Y. Witness.

Last week General Clinton B. Fisk,
Chairman of the Board of Indian
Commissioners, invited a number of
editors to examine. at the stores, No.
80 White street, the method of pur-
chasing, receiving, inspecting, and
forwarding supplies for tie Indians.
Two flats of the very spacious stores
in question were full of goods, pack
ed and addressed to the different In
dian agencies in the States and Terri
tories of the Union. The supplies
for each tribe were piled separately,
ready TO go off to-day to their differ
ent destinations in Nebraska, Dako-
ia, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Indian
Territory, ETC., etc.
The mode Of procuring these sup
plies were explained as follows: Dur
ing the winter the Indian Bureau at
Washington ascertains what is want
ed for each agency for the coming
wear, and sends the orders to the
Board in New York. All the goods
Of II kind wanted for all the agen-
cies make one line of the invitati on
for tenders, and all the goods Of q
similar description constitute one
class. Glass l, for instance, consists
Of blankets, cloths, ETC.; class 2, cot
ton goods, calicoes, prints, ginghams,
etc; another class is hardware-pots,
pans, axes, ETC.; another class consists
of sugar, tea, coffee, etc. Tenders &C
companied by samples are invited by
advertisement for each class separate
", and the tenders this year we're
very numerous. These tenders and
samples are numbered and submitted
to the inspector, who, without know
ing the names of the parties tender
ing, decides, not which is lowest, but
which gives the best value Of suitable
goods for the money; and the ap-
proved tender is accepted. When the
goods are sent in they are carefully
compared with the samples which
accompanied the tender, and if not
found equal to sample they are re-
jected. The goods, when approved,
are divided up among the different
tribes or agencies, according to the
Washington specifications, and care
fully packed and directed to the
agents. The transportation Of these
goods is also given out by tender(we
suppose from Washington), and the
contractor gives his receipt for the
packages in good condition, and must
produce the receipt of each Indian
agent for their safe delivery. OF
course flour, pork, beef, ETC., are OBJ
tanned in the interior, and with these
the New York commissioners have
nothing to do. 1t is in these articles,
we may remark, that the great frauds
are chiefly charged. 1t appears from
the above description that all reason
able precautions are taken here to
avoid swindling the Indians, but it
will be noticed that very much de-
ponds on the knowledge Of goods and
Integrity of the Inspector. There is
an invoice giving the contents of each
package sent to each agency, and it is
the agents business to see that moth
ing has been stolen or damaged by
the Way.
