REMOVING WALL PAPER.


A farmers wife writes TO the Country
Gentleman 81 have had some experience
in this work. and the most expeditions and
easy way that ! have discovered is this :
Wet cloth 10 quite warm water, ana
dampes the paper all ever. Let II remain
some fifteen or twenty minutes. then wet
again thoroughly, using the cloth dry, and
rub the paper off. Sometimes it will peel
off easily; again 1t will only roll up as far
as YOU rub it. On wood il adheres very
closely. If it is TO be repsinted, knife
will scrape it OF where the knife is not ad-
equate to clean ii. On piastered walls the
second wetting will soften the paper so
that it will peel off almost entire. All wall
papers ought to be removed. and the walls
washed in weak I've or copperas water,
before the new paper Is laid, as it renders
the room sweeter. and preserves the new
paper much better. Where grease-spots
have been, it should be washed thorough
ly in hot soapsuds, or the grease will
strike through the new paper in a short
time. When a spot of grease gets on new
Wallpaper. thick coat of boiling hot
starch spread over it and left to dry, then
rubbed off with soft cloth, will remove
the spot, so that it looks very clean aud
nice. When wall paper gets smoked, ii
can be improved very much by taking a
quart. of wheat bran, tying it up in thin
cloth, and wiping the paper over with it.
Where 1t is SO high that il cannot be
reached easily, the cloth can be tied on a
broom and used very conveniently. and
with good effect ~

RoAD TO YUMA.-Believing that the rail road will soon be completed 10 Yuma. it may be we'll for Us to inform those of our readers who are not posted on projects, that there is project looking to the establish mcnt of direct mail service between Yuma and Prescott. The route would follow the present road from Prescott to Ehrenberg, as far as Tyson Wells. 24 miles this side of Ehrenberg. from winch point it would di- verge towards Castle Dome. This would make the distance somewhere in the neigh borhood of 24J miles, unless. as we think, the road will strike the river somewhere m the vicinity of Castle Dome landing. or course, this is Yuma City project. and may be knocked cold by the Railroad Com pany, who. it is said are now negotiating with the Colorado Steam Navigation Com pany for the purchase of their steamers, harges. etc.

NO MORE NEW POSTS.

The establishment by General Kautz of the temporary camp at 'old Camp Crittenden." :" in the recent troubles, having been brought 10 the notice of the Secretary of War and the General of the Army, telegraphic in- structions have been sent the Department Commander informing him that the estAb- tabIishment of any new posts in Arizona is declined.
 Judging from the fact that the General of the Army and the Secretary of War disap- prove the establishment of any new posts in Arizona, thsy evidently consider the cry of bloody murder in the Southern part of the Territory as not altogether truthful, and look upon the people down in Pima county and along the Sonora line. as do the people of Arizona, who are not interested in circulating false reports for selfish purposes and to gratify contsmptble sectional teel ing. There is now one more company south of the sila than we have here in the north still there Is no cry of wrong brought mp against the Department Commander. He is supposed to know where his troops are to be stationed for the best protection to the whole Territory and the people of this sec ton are liberal enough to conccdc to him the right 10 use his forces as seems most proper in his judgment. It is, however, somewhat different with our people of Pima. When all is done that il Is possible 10 do with the limited means at the General command, these ungenerous. blood suckers still howl about no protection from the Military. General Kautz has acted with promptness in every instance and rendered necessary aid when it was needed, always looking upon the situation of Indian affairs in cool and judicious manner and in the proper light. .

4 Man shot and Robbed by the Pima Indians.

The Pima Indians have been making an other of their cowardly assaults on the per son of William Clancy, near Maricopa Wells We gather the following facts in regard to the attack made on MT Clancy, from a tel egram received at Headquarters by the De partment Commander, on Friday last, from James A. Moore:
 4 number of the Pima Indians met Clan cy few miles West of Maricop, Wells, on the desert and by some means became pos sessed of his gun, they then shot him with it, robbed his person of all money and other valuables, took hi, two horses and left him to die. He was subsequently found by $ herder of MT. MooreS' in d very critical con- dition, ard it is thought that he cannot live. He was brought in tO the Wells, by Mr Moore, anu all that good kind people. such as Nr. and Mrs Moore arc, could do for him was done.
 Gen Kautz. by request of citizens living in tsat vicinity. ordered a detachment of l5 men and a Commissioned officer to proceed to Maricopa Wells. gather such information as was possible to be obtained. that would lead to the arrest of the guilty psrties, which we think will be quite "a difficult task. These Indians are under the control of the civil authorities. therefore belong 10 the ring, and it has been a question in our minds whether Gen. Kautz did not go beyond his authority in sending troops n look up the guilty ones, or in interfering in any way in the matter, still the Gen with his usual activity and desire to see all classes protected, regardless of section. sent assistance, whether right or wrong, and will receive the appreciation of all honest citizens.
 LArER.-Since ,he above was put in type, we learn that the officer in command of the detachment, has arrested the two Indians impllcited in the shooting of Clancy.
