 Dear NIT. Cooley: In answer to your note asking me if l consider Pcdro's band ot White Mountain ApachcS self sustaining. the fact ;hat they have not received raiions or any assistance from the Government for about two years, would seem to hc the best answer to that question. As Pedro farms regularly every year and sells his grain at the Post, he has been able to live quite we'll since his rations have been stopped.
 Yours sincerely. r. D. OGuBY.

The proprietors of disreputable enter

the city were arraigned before police JUS
tice ON Tuesday last for keeping an immoral
and disorderly house. Of course they were
discharged "with regret" on the pretence
that there was no evidence against them,
and O crowd of miserable female prisoners
who take part in the performances shared
the same good fortune. There seldom is
sufficient evidence against such establish
ments to satisfy police justice that they
are public nuisances and ought to be sup
pressed. But in this particular case there
was one slight piece of testimony tending
to show the true character Of the place. A

TIE WEATHER.--The depression which was
over the eastern lake region on the evening of
tho ;3d has moved of the New England coast in
due easterly direction, with light rains That
in the Northwest continues to advance slowly
towar. the Mississippi Valley, attended by brisk
winds and preceded by light rains along the lake
shores. The area of highest pressure now en-
braces the lake region and Upper Canada, the
Middle, Central, South Atlantic and East
ern Gulf States. The pressure is fall
ing on the Pacific coast. The tempcra-
ture yesterday rose decidedly through the
whole length of the Mississippi and Mis-
souri valleys, giving general average above
what has been previously recorded this year.
Thus the area of ninety degrees embraces all
the territory west of the Mississippi as far north

Harvard crew, and WHO will testify to-day
that nearly all the ideas he now inculcates
he learned then, the chief change being only
that required to adapt them to the sliding
seat. Putting these things together it Is
difficult to avoid the conclusion that what
ever merits the new Yale stroke may
have she would have gone faster and
more comfortably had she rowed after the
style of her rival. What men want who
devote thought and time and money to row.
ing races is, not simply pretty action, smooth
and neat and taking to the eye they want to
60 in the fastest way possible over the whole
track and to bend every energy to learn just
that way and no other. Yale has spent four
whole years on her present stroke, certainly
ample timo to test its every merit, and in
them all she never won clear or satisfac
tory victory until last summer, and then
over crew badly rigged and SO young and
inexperienced that they hardly amounted to
q respectable class crew. Yale can afford
no trihing hereafter, or long halting be-
tween two opinions. AS matters now look

The Cardinals Da tighter.

Cardinal Antonelli's daughter by her suit
in regard to his estate disturbs the pleasant
antieipations of his other heirs. From the
standpoint of those entirely in sympathy
with clerical ideas the Countess I.amber-
tini's course will not be regarded as
that of dutiful daughter, since
it implies that priest in holy
orders was unfaithful to his vows ;
and certainly daughter ought not to make
scandalous allegations in regard to her
father. But in the conflict of flial pride
with filial duty the honor of such lineage
might naturally reconcile high spirited
woman with any casually scandalous impli-
cations incident to the claim. IT. in
addition to the motive of relation

The New York herald., 1877-07-05
Is the Yale Stroke q Failure

We have seen it nowhere denied that
Yale's stroke the other day was well rowed.
All appear to agree that her form was nearly
perfect, nor did any word come of sickness
or indsposition among her men, or of inferi-
ority in their boat--indeed, in age, height,
reach, experience together and in university
racing save in weight and skill, in all that
makes on oar, the Yale crew was the
superior. They had the most expert
enced coach ever known in America, one
who had selected this particular style Of
rowing in preference to all others, had de-
voted years of time and study to it, had
made q special trip to Europe avowedly to
learn it, and had brought this crew nearer
perfection in it than any America ever saw
before He was so far satisfied himself that
his crew would win as to predict SO in con-
temporary journal last Friday morning.
But when race day comes his favorites are
beaten save for few feet at the start. They
were beaten all over the course, and beaten
. most and easiest in the first mile, where they
could scarcely help being fresh and where
the water was smoother than anywhere else
while in rough water, where they were
claimed to be especially strong, they went
almost to pieces, until more than one wit
ness testifes that they actually did not
seem able to hold on to their oars
All this time their rivals, at q slower
stroke, were going with an ease that was
strikingly manifest, and some of their
own number assert that they could have in
creased their lead at the finish very materi-
ally had there been any need. But the latter
were taught by gentleman who never saw
England, who had not rowed a race in nine
years, who was q member Of the fast '68
