The arrival of Lord Lorne at Ottawa COM
pletes a vIce-regal progress which forms an
auspicious beginning for his Administration. In
his fecitous reply to the Corporation address he
has shown as great aptitude as he manifested
throughout his journey in responding to dep
utations from people of diverse nationalities
and creeds.
New-York tribune., 1878-12-03

As it is now generally agreed that there can
be no severe fighting in Afghanistan this
year, the British invasion is likely to amount
to little more than demonstration against
the Ameer. The defiant address which he
recently made to his chiefs shows that in this
respect the campaign will be almost as profit
less as il has been in military success.

Mr.. Wood charged President Hayes yester-
day with "vacillati6n," whereupon Mr. Gar
field grimly suggested that there had been a
more conspicuous instance of "vacillation in
Mr.. Woods own State and city, referring,
evidently, to certain notorious bargains which
were always closed too late. We shall hear
more hereafter about this "vacillatiOn." which
no one--not even MIR. Wood-can regret more
keenly than the Great Vacillator himself.

Siampcding Cattle In ArizOna,

An instance of what an Apache In
dian will do in the way OF cool dar.
ing, when the prize is worth the risk,
once occurred on a raj Gu in Arizona. .
The Owner of the ranch was an Amer.
lean. To guard against the Apaches he
had built a block house, and, adjoining
it, a court yard and corral, surrounded
by an adobe wall eight feet high and two
feet thick. In the corral the herd was
nightly secured. He had a contract to
feed and guard four hundred beef cattle,
belonging to the United States fort,
some thirty miles away. More thai. one
attempt had been made by the Apaches
10 capture the herd, while feeding two
or three miles from the block house. But
the vigilaDt herdsman had driven the
cattle at gallop int the corral, before
the Indians could stampede" them.
One night there came a fearful storm.
A solitary Apache, unarmed, and with
nothing but a blanket to protect him
from the cold rain, climbed over the cor.
wall crouching in the corner, he
waited for day. Early in the morning.

The Yeracity Of Vision.

The colonel, a rigid msriner, is sitting
at the window of his room, when looking
out he sees a captain crossing the barrack
yard towards the gate. Looking at him
closely, he is shocked to observe that, the
rules and regulations 10 the contrary, the
captain does not carry a sword.
"Ceptain," he calls from the window ;
" Hi, captain; step up to my room for
a moment, will you"
The captain obeys promptly, borrows
a sword Of the officer of the guard, the
guard being at the foot Of the sairs,
and presents himself to the colonel in
irreproachable tenue.
The colonel is somewhat surprised to
see the sword in its place, and having 10

dinate back, says with some confusion,
q" beg your pardon, captain, but really
l've forgotten what it was | wanted to
speak to you about. However, it can't

keep. Good morning"
The captain s~alutes, departs, returns
the sword to its owner, and is making
off across the barrack-yard, when he
again comes within the range of the
colOnel's vision.
The colonel rubs his eyes, stares; says
softly to himself, Chow in thunder is
this? Dem it, he hasn't a sword to bis
waist y then calls aloud, Captain! Ho,
captain, n moment, please"
The captain returns, borrows the sword
again, mounts the stairs and enters the
colonels presence. His commanding
officers stares at him intently he has a
sword, he gees it, he hears it clsnk.
"Captain," he stammers, growing very
hot, it's deuced ridiculous, you know,
