Agent Shaw reports the fact that Chiricahuas came 10 the Southern Apache Agency, but does moi state how many, saying the names and numbers had been reported from time to time. Dr. Whitney, acting Agent, in a letter 10 General hsutz iu January last, esti- mates the number at 250. Agent Cum in his report estimates those who ran away at about 60.

it we know that the wealth OF the
cona.ry has gained at asst as much
as the value ct that crop, saying
nothing for tho improvement of the
laad. Uncle Sam prints green
backs but be doesn't give thom
to.us. He has plenty Of them now.
He his over $3.50 100000 of them
and only about hundred and fifty
millions are 10 nse. de has an
equal amount of substitutes for
greenbacks and half of those are idle.
There is plenty of money if one
could only get it. In war times
we had million sol Tiers at work
drawing an average OF more than u
dollar q day each. That was way
to get the money. When the war
closed the income of the greater
part of the million soldiers stopped
Their money drained down into the
great pools as the waters from hills
where there are no more showers.
After while the little pools began to
dry up-failures. The evaporating
process has continued ever since,
and there has never been q shower.
There is a Greenback Convention in
session somewhere in Wisconsin
trying to get little rain, but we
fear they can raise nothing but a
ll!tle wind, very dry wind. No, it
is not the scarcity of money that
makes such hard times. 1t is he
want of something 10 draw it out Of
its great pools. There were recent y
million idle people 10 the United
States-people who wanted work for
wages and could not get it. Put
them all to work at got d wages
| and the next Saturday will date the
era of good times. Printing more
greenbacKs and diStributing among
them weekly would not help the
times. 1t would make no new blade
OF grass grow and there would be no
| equivalent benefit to the country.
If Bridget is idle for six months she
finds herself compelled to go without
a new gown. If there are Thousands
OF Bridgets in city in that fix we
hear great deal of complaining. II
one man for every fifty must 60 idle
for months there must be suffering
and complaint-the echoes of hard
times. There must be come other
remedy than printing greenbacks.
There are very many rich men
among us yet. There are thousands
who have money that they know
not what to Go with. Tn man who
can haven't way to draw it out for
equivalents will be a public benefac
tor. Sach a discovery is q boon
wanted at once. 1t is not mill to
grind out or, enbacks for there are
more greenbacks now than the peo.
pie in want can get.

Survival of the Flttest. y

The ingenious doctrine propounded by Mr..
Darwin, the tireles' investigator of nature and
her laws, is as applicable in determining the
fate of medicines as in that of the animal
species. Every year new remedies are brought
before the public and are soon completely
discarded as their sale rapidly decreases. On.
" those medicines which are best suited TO
the peoples wants survive the first test. If
they are ''tried and found wanting" in the
merits they arc claimed to possess no amount
of advertising will make them popular OF all
the remedies ever introduced to the public,
none are SO popular as Dr.. Pierce's Family
Medicines. Their sale has steadily increased
each year, and wholesale druggists assert that
the present demand for them is greater than
ever before. If you would patronize medi>
cines scientifically prepared use DR.. Pierce's
Family Medicines. Golden Medical Discovery
is Alternative, or blood-cleansing. and an un~
equalcd cough remedy; Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, scarcely larger than mustard seeds
constitute an agreeable and reliable physic;
Favorite Prescription, remedy for deblitat-
ed females; Extract Of Smart Weed, magic
al remedy for pain, bowel complaints, and an
unequaled lnimeut for both human and horse.

motion. Uncle Sam has a big mill ;
we want him 20 glind Out more

in the papers that in redeeming his
defaced and mutil4ted notes he had
accumulated many tons Of pulp
which he was offering for sale to pa
per mills. We protest agains. the
sale Instead of selling let Uncle
sam put IL into his own hopper and
grind il back again into new money.
In this way he can make millions of
times "a much money out Of it as DC
can gel from the paper mills for his
old masticated pulp. When he has
done that there will be plenty of
money and plenty of money makes
good times. Uncle Sam is rich
enough 10 give us all farm. If he
wonlt turn his old pulp back into
greenbAcks he might be rich enough
to give Us all a thousand dollars
True he doesn't gice us The farms
His broad acres are spread out over
Nebraska, Colorado, Dakota and
other territories and he says come
and take. We can sc and measure
off Ill we can compass with an OK
hide and when done measuring we
can say, This is our farm. But if we
stop at that it would not produce
even crop OF fat grasshoppers. If
we pillow the ground, sew the seed,
build house and barn and enelos

farm and a living upon it. Ii Uncle
Sam will turn his pulp into thousand

A Complimentary Circular

General Superintendent Hobart of the
Central Vermont road has issued circular
thanking the employees who were present
and aided in the preparation and movement
of trains on the occasion of the centennial
celebration at Bennington. In it be says :;
"Such energy and skill, with strict adhe-
renee to their positions almost constantly
for four days end nights, cool and steady,
clear headed, and total abstinence of any
thing like profanity or ungentlemanly con-
duct, 1t has never before been our lot to
observe. Men from all the divisions are
equally entitled to credit. Especial men,
ton, however, should be made of Mr.. Nc
Gift, train dispatcher, and MIR. Mckenzie,
train master, whose efforts seem unbound
ed. In this we are not unmindful of the
efforts of the men who we're left to attend
to the regular business of the road, at that
time largely increased, and made more diff.
icult by the absence of those who were en-.
gagged in the centennial business. To one
and all we render our hearty thanks.
