raised by the California Militia.
After many privations and hard
ships, the command reached the
Colorado river November q, 1880,
and camped on its banks, above
Pilot Knob. An order was issued,
reserving whole neighborhOod for
military purposes. This was done
to keep liquor-sellers away from
soldiers and Indians. Santiago
and other head chiefs of the Gu-
mas, or Cuchanos, had several
talks, and professed to want to be
Oh friendly terms with the Amer
leans and under their protection.
They were in much fear of a raid
from the Maricopas; so protection
was promised them and an attempt
was made to bring about a recon-
ciliatiOn.
BY Christmas, the supply Of
provisions had become iiuch re-
duced in quantity, as we'll as i'll
variety, and symptoms Of scurvy
appeared. There were in camp
only rations of breadstuffs enough
to last to the end Of the month,
and no vegetables could be obtain
ed. A small supply was received
from California, which was eX-
hausted January 8, 1851. january
7, news reached camp of the ar
rival December 20, of the schdOn-
er "Invincible," Capt. A. II. Will
cox, at the mouth of the Colorado;
she sailed some thirty miles up
the river and anchored near an
island called d" "AidegOnne" on
Walkers chart, in three fathoms
of water at high tide. The schOon-
er was now within sixty miles,
by land, or 100 by the river, from
the camp. Ueintzelman, having
made peace with the Cocopahs,
sent party down in boat, which
made the trip down in three days
and back in nine.
Early in March, 1851, a report
was brought in, that an emlgrant
with his family was on the road,
about 120 miles east, in a distress
ed condition and asking aid Two
men with pack mules were, at
once dispatched tohis relief. They
found the emigrant'S wagon de-
serted on the top of a ridge, with
nothing of value about it, save
few carpenter tools. They found
two bodies of adults, one partially
covered with stones, and discov-
cred one shoe-track and one bare
foot, not indian, with OK tracks
going back toward the Pimas. TO
accomplish anything required q
stronger force than was at Heint-
zelman's disposal. This >emigrant
family was that Of Oatman. An
account of their massacre, and CT
the subsequent recovery from the
Indians, of Miss Olive Oatman,
has been published. The massa-

fantry, received Ortlero irolil 11ef'u-
quarters at Monterey, Cal, OF the
Tenth Military Department, to
take two infantry companies and
establish a post on the Colorado
river near its junction with the
GIla. He was then at the Mission
of San Diego, having been in this
part of the country since April,
184S. The only transportation at his
command were the worn and brok-
en- wagons that came across the
continent from SaltillO, Mexico,
with Major Graham's command,
and what was left of that used by
the escort of the Boundary Com
missioners. He was without dol
lar in money, as all the funds of
the post had been expended, dur
ing his absence IN Oregon, in
building quarters at San Diego
Mission. He had no blacksmith,
no mechanic, not dozen axes all
told, and not a cover for a wagon.
Everything of that kind, that was
of value, had been turned over to
Major Fitzgerald the previous
Spring. Before starting across the
comparatively unknown desert,
HeintZelman established sub-de-
pots of subsistence at points along
the route, one of which was at
Vallecito, on the western edge of
the desert, and the Old Camp
Starvation " of Major Graham, 1lO
miles from San Diego. August
a, he reported: "Our means OF
transportation and quartermaster
supplies are totally inadequate. /
shall start, day after tomorrow, "a
train of eight OF ten wagons, ali /
will be able to collect, and many Of
them unfit to go off a level road"
Forage was nearly exhausted
around the Mission, and little
could have been purchased, even
if he had had funds at his dis
pOSal.
Heintzelman's difficulties were
augmented by the action of Cali
fornia Militia under General More
head, who not only took part of
the supplies he had with so much
trouble accumulated at VallecitoS,
but also had engaged in actual con-
hlct with the Yuma Indians, kill
ing a large number of them, with
loss to themselves of two wound
ed. He sent a sergeant with a
guard to protect the supplies at
Vallecitos, but they arrived one
day too late. Areport was brought
to him, that the Yumas had dis
appeared from the Colorado and
Gila rivers, having gone to place
their women and children with
the Apaches, with whom they
were then at peace. it was then
generally believed that the whites
had brought on hOstilitieS by abus-
ing the indian women and de-
stroying their corn-tields. The
question of jurisdiction at the con-
templateH post was by no means a
settled one. Printed instructions

and that claims had been sent tt
San Diego for record. His in
structions gave him no authority
to dispossess actual settlers, yet
the land needed for the new posi-
and reservation was claimed by
citizens of the United States.

command had got as far as Vale

Blinded US to the merits of more
modest home vintages. A foreign
claret, win ordinaire, can be bought
for sixty cents a gallon or less; the
duty is forty cents a gallon; the
freight is inconsequential. Deliv-
cred in New York, the bottle of
Paris wine, such as we get in the
cafes, costs no more than twenty
five cents. If A. L. Stewart & Co.
take up this wine question for ho-
tells, with their capital and intelli-
gence, they will force cheap wine to
be commodity, and alter the hab-
its of our people, who, by throwing
ice water into their stomachs, have
got the habit of eating quick and
selfshly, and without any social
connection between food and man.
Wine has been growing better in
America every year for twenty
years, as the soil works down to its
acquaintance. If we drink wine
generally, We should drink less
whisky, and add an important ar
ticle to agriculture, particularly
with small farmers. Mr.. Henry
Clair, who is now the principal
hotel manager in the United States
and man Of vast business dispatch,
says that a cask Of French wine al
ninety dollars can be afforded fol
sixty cents a bottle or three francs,

Our baggage went astray at May
ence, and we arrived at Bingen
trunkless, though a young German
in our compartment managed to
understand our trouble, and by
explaining the difficulty to the
guard at Maycnce the baggage ar
rived two hours later by the next
train, with a charge of six marks
to pay on it on account of the bung-
ling of the officials.
There has been no change in the
old and troublesome baggage ar
rangements anywhere in Europe,
and to make a fresh start is one of
certain annoyance. The omnibus
always leaves the hotels one hour
before the departure of the train,
and Of that hour we have never YET
had five minutes to spare. To gel
tickets and have the baggage regis.

ton of an hour. So well is this
understood that the ticket offices
close ten minutes before the depar.

specially the case if he has

won't weigh the baggage as it comes

with a throng OF eager passengers
urging them to activity, aud paying
them to favor them. We insisted
on having our baggage registered to
Bingen, but for some unexplained
reason were compelled to submit to
having it registered to Mayence
which is about twenty miles above
Bingen. We knew it would go
astray, but could not help ourselves

The use of poisons for the pro-
tOctiOn of growing crops against
their common enemy, the fly and
beetle, has become so frequent that
farmers in California as we'll as in
the EaSt are apt to forget the prop
critics of the article they are han.
ding, and serious results often
follow its careless use. From many
places in the East come reports of
large numbers of feathered beau
ties dying from eating the potato
vine upon which Paris green has
been busted. Quail, orioles and
robbins suffer severely in this way.
Dead fish are found floating upon
the surface after eating the bugs
washed into the ponds and streams.
A melancholy incident is the death
of a promising girl in Connecticut
from eating currants on which
Paris green had blown from po-
tato field.

A pretty little girl, about five
years old with one of those sugar.
loaf hats, modelled after Fra Dia-
volo's in the play no doubt, came
on board the Staten Island ferry
boat Westfield last evening. In her
trail was a weary-looking, middle
aged lady, whom she treated with
condescension and called "Auntie. :"
After the young lady had found
comfortable seat in the bow of the
boat she allowed her aunt to take
a camp-stool near by. When the
boat started she began a systematic
method of torture to which the
middle-aged lady submitted with
wonderful resignation.

asked, pointing to the bay.
