as true, the action taken is thought to be mill

Russian government, now that peaceful views
prevail Although General Todleben's de

NURUERUUS INDIAN RAIDS.
Late official reports received at the War
Office confirm the press publications relative
to murders and rObberieS committed by In

very small force that the government is able
Indians escaped into Mexico by different
routes across the Arizona border. The Mexi-
can local authorities declined to interfere ex-
cept to prevent our troops from crossing the
border in pursuing the Indians. These facts
have been transmitted to Minister Foster at
the City Of Mexico by this government, to be
by him presented to President Diaz.

AN INCIDF,r Ar u,p TIMES

nv isNibLST OF WAX TIMES.
during sne earlier years of the rebellion,
VIII many honest people in and around
Washington were suspected OF being Seces
slonists, or sympathiZers with secession, and
when the whole earth was popularity sup
posed to be undermined with treason,
President Lincoln received curious warning.
a welLmeaning but simple minded lOyaliSt,
who lived opposite the island on which the
Smithsonian Institution is built, visited the
President with letter OF introduction from
prominent republican Congressman. He said
he had important and delicate Information la
communicate 10 the President, alone and here
he looked suSpiciOasly at an elderly and grave
gentleman who was seated with the Presl-
dent "Oh, you needn't mind him." said
Mr. Lincoln. :" He is my friend and i can trust
him: and so can you" The man went on Ia
say that he had observed light displayed on
one of the towers of the Smithsonian Institu'
tion every night, at regular intervals. II Mns
mysterious light, with mysterious motions
like signal light. And, - he added, i'm a
suggestive whisper, they do say that some
OF them Professors over there are secesh. and
maybe they are communicating with the
rebels" The President with a cOmical
smile, turned to his companion and SAID.
What nave you 10 say TO that, Prof Henry?"
Ihe Professor, who had sat uneasily during
The nrSt part OF the interview, burst into a
nearly laugh. The mysterious light was m
lhe lantern OF an observer, whose business II
was TO look after the meteorological appara
tuS by night. The vigilant lOyalist was dis
missed with thanks.-t ". Y. Times
