Lippincott's Magazine.

Lippincott's Magazine for November is equal
to any oil its predecessors in richness and
variety Of interest. Later Pompeian Days, the
concluding paper Of Ranbles of Three by
Margaret Bertha Wright, is very amusing and
capitally illustrated. The fifth chapter of Dr.
Oswald's Snmmerland Sketches, describe the
Sierra Madre, and gives an entertaining
glimpse Of conyent>life in the mountain re-
gions of Mexico. An article on Leadvile,
also well illustrated, will command attention
after all that has been published in regard to
the Carbonate City by It's copious Information
as TO the value and prospect OF the mines, its
hints to investors, and its graphic account
OF the habits and manners of the population
Where the Beef Comes From is the title OF a
timely and interesting paper on cattle-breed-
ing in Texas and Colorsao. DR.. Alfred s.
Gibbs has a lively paper on Goethe's mother,
with extracts from her correspondents and
sketches OF her intimate friends, accompanied
by an outline portrait Of this remarkable wo-
man. Citali Seton describes the organic alton
and workings of the Secret Societies OF South
ern Italy, and the problem they offer to italian
craftsmanship The Bicycle, and Riding II, by
j. Wilcox, indicates tie inventions that have
led to this new process of locomotion already
so popular in England and sums up its advan-
tages; and J. Rrander Matthews discusses
Sheridan's Critic, which was first played a
hundred years ago and still keeps its place on
the stage. Among the stories in the number
may be mentionedA Slight Misunderstanding,
which is in the form of comediettaand needs
but few alterations to adapt it for private
theatricals, "a character sketch by Philip Baurke
Marston, and the first part of very agreeably-
written little tale entitled Aimee, which like
Daisy Miller, deals with the lite OF an Ameri-
can girl abroad. The Monthly Gossip treats
of Fall Shopping, Emile lola and the Prince
Imperial, and other approximate topics

Arrival OF the Captive Women and
Children.


Los PISos, Col, Oct. 80 There
have Just arrived from the Indian
camp on Plateau creek the women
and children, who are safe at Chief
Oaray'r house, nine miles below.
They stood the Journey well, and
Mrs. Meeker has improved in health
every day since we started. We
left on the morning of tho 22i. The
Indians seemed unwilling for us to
leave until they. learned what sue
cess General Adams had in stop
ping the further advance of Mer-
ritL's command.
Meeker's papers were burned, and
what money Mrs. Mseker had was
taken from her by Douglas. Ths
Intentions were to kill the women
and children, as the windows of the
room 10 which they first took refuge
were rddled with bullets the in-
slant they had lief. it for a moro Sc.
cure place. Mrs. Meeker thinks
Susan. the equaw wife of Chief
Johr son, sister of Ouray, did more
than all others to save their lives.
She was as kind to them as a
mother, and their parting was very
touching.
Jacks band fought the troops and
Douglas men killed the agent and
employees. Agent Meeker was
killed by Antelope and Waupattits.
Mrs Meeker was shot while run
ming from the house, and attempt,
ing TO hide in sage bush The bail
passed through her dress aud made
slight flesh wound in the thigh
about four inches long.
Arrangements for a fight with
Merritt's command were most com.
plete Two hundred Arapshoes had
joined jack and many others from
neighboring tribes, and had il not
been for the timely arrival of Chief
Ouray's order to cease fighting. the
name of Merritt and his command
would have passed into history by
the side Of Gustav, with the same
epitaph-"Annihilsted by Indians "
The outbreak may be attributed

Riddle, head of the firm of Riddle,
Coleman IL Co., and president of the
Franklin Savings Institution, and his
son, Geo. d. Riddle, cashier of the
latter, who hitherto were looked up.

The Rock County Farm Hand

The eccentric taste of the conven.
tional Rock county farm hand in
committing his murder, is not essen
TALLY modified, except to the novel
and grotesque manner which he
adopts for It's qualification. The lat
est hired man, (this was at Milton, J
knocked a hole in the head of his
employer, and, after death had en-.
sued, sought to destroy the remains
by their lncinerat on in a couple Of
hay stacks which he had set on fire
tor that purpose. With a further
natural tendency to deface the evi.
dences of his crime, he caused the
wife of the murdered man to mop up
the blood at the doorstep, where the
murder was committed, while his
own subsequent efforts, after the ex
pertinent IN cremation, were confined
to piece of sand paper with which
he sought to rub out the spattered
blood and brains on the door lamb,
and on the outer walls of the house.
The grotesque features of this horror
are only surpassed by the horribly
grotesque features of the farm hand
murder which Immediately preceded
it.
This was a peculiarly unique affair.
The hired man was just ont OF boy
hood, in his most vigorous Adde'S.
cence. HIS victim was not, rs in
the last case, his employer, the nom-
inal head of the family, but was a
child, five or six years old, or less. the
curly-headed darling Of the bucolic
household. The farm hand enticed
the little pot to the barn, and per-
formed the job after the method of
hog killing, on the farm, in the fall
of the year. He cut the child's
throat, and hung the little fellow up,
head downwards, and disembowled
him, or partially SO, but was fright.
ened away from his revolving EN-.
pioyment before the completion of
the sanguinary task which he had un-
dertaken.
The previous farm hand affair was
that of Derickson. He aud Mrs.
Mack simply killed old. Mr.. Mack
and carried the corpse out 20 the
barn, where they placed Il under the
feet of fayorite family rnare,to give
the impression that the beast had
tramped the man to death.
There will be somewhat curious
and excited attention drawn to Rock
county for some time to come, to
learn the horrible particulars of the
next eccentricity in which the farm
hand may indulge il,caukee Tel

Wool in Boston.

From the Boston Commercial
Bulletin The reason why Boston
ia the grea est wool market 10 the
United States is apparent at a
glance. CT total Of 843l sets of
wooden machinery in the entire
country, lfl8 sets are 10 the state
of Massachusetts alone; 33l sets
are in Maine; sos sets in New
Hampshire IT'S sets in Vermont
469 sets in Rhode Island, and 669
sets in Come cticut. The total for
New England, therefore. is 1866
sets, or more than 43 per cent. of
the oolen machinery of the entire
country. For similar reasons, Bos-
ton is the greatest primary market
for the distribution of wooden goods;
that is, the headquarters of the
most prominent selling agents are
here. Philadelphia ranks next to
Boston as a wool market, the state
OF Pennsylvania containing 1861
sets of wooden machinery.
