Anxiety for Crooks Safety Proposed

CHICAGO, July 8-Considerable anxiety
is felt at General Sheridan's headquarters
concerning Crooks command, from whom
nothing has been heard since the engage
ment on Rosebud.
1t is not known whether he has encoun.
tered the savsges or not, but it is thought
he has again met the savages, or he would
have co-operated with GENERAL Terry before
this time.
The belief at headquarters is, that recent
defeats of regular troops will cause @
change in the general character of the
campaign, and the movement of troops,
which will be more united, in order to sue
cessfully cope with the Indians.
Intelligence from General Crook.
OMAHA. July 8-Captain Nickoreon, of
General Crooks staff, is here. He left Cen

Rosewood.

It has puzzled many people to decide
why the dark wood 60 highly valued for
furniture should be called rosewood. Its
color certainly does not look much like a
rose, 80 we must look for some other
rea@on. Upon asking, We are told that
when the tree is first cut, the fresh wood
possesses q very strong, rose-like fragrance
hence the name There are half dozen or
more kinds of rosewood trees. The varie-
ties are found in South America, and in
the East Indies and neighb0ring islands.
Sometimes the trees grow SO large that
planks four feet broad and ten feet in
length can be cut from them. These broad
planks are principally used to make the
tops of piano-fortes. When growing in the
forest the rosewood tree is remarkable for
it's beauty; but such is the value to manu-
features as an ornamental wood that some
Of the forests where it once grew abund-
antly now have scarcely single specimen.
In Madras the government has prudently
had great plantations of this tree set out,
in order to keep up the supply.

A Deserved Tribute.

At an adjourned meeting of the board of
directors Of the Southwestern Bible So
ciety, convened on the afternoon of Tues
day, June l3, to take action in regard 70
the recent decease of the s0ciety's first and
only president, Joseph A. Maybi Esq, the
following preamble and resolutions wer
adopted:
Since, in the exercise of his sovereign
wisdom, our heavenly Father has called
hence, to the enjoyment of the rest that re-
malneth for his people, our beloved brother
and honored president, Joseph A. Msybin,
who died on the morning of Monday, May,
Is. in the eighty-second year of his age;
therefore, belt
Resolred, That in this death, by which,
for the first time, it's presidential chair is
vacated, the Southwestern Bible Society
mourns it's loss of an officer most faithful
and efficient, counselor eminent for pru.
dence and catholicity of spirit, and friend
and advocate tried and proven through all
the years of it's history.
Resolued, That az . society founded to
promote the circulation of the Holy Scrip
lures, we have ever been able to point with
admiration to the daily life and converse
ton OF our departed president as character
istically that of one whose delight was in
the law of the Lord" and in that law medi-
tated day and night.
Resolred, That in his peaceful death we
recognize q fitting close to long and act
i've career. conspicuous up to its latest
hours for the constant exercise of q genu-
inc Christian philanthropy, so that we may
say of him with confident assurance:
"Them that sleep in Jesus will God bring
with Him."
Resolved. That while We extend to the
bereaved hOusehould, whence has been
taken its loved and venerated head, our
cordial sympathy, we rejoice that to them
is bequeathed the rich legacy of such an
example, since In their memory Of the de-
parted father, and the contemplation of his
present happiness, is most clearly illustrated
the inspired proverb: "A good name Is
rather to be chosen than great riches. and
loving favor rather than silver and gold"
Resolred, That these resolutions be pub
lished in the religious and secular papers of
our city, and that 9 copy Of the same be
furnished to the family of our late president.

ing immediate relief. He would authorize
the raising of five volunteer regiments in
Nebraska and the Territories for an Indian
campaign. The material, men and horses,
are on the spot, and the force would cost
much less than would the transportation
and picking up of odd companies OF
regulars from different States. The spe-
cial service would enlist ex-soldiers, and
men smarting from Indian outrages; the
new regiments could be commanded by
regular officers detailed for the purpose,
and the division would be ready tor the
field upon the completion of the first mus
ter roll. There is a chance yet for the

bic action before adjournment Let the
