The Influence of Climate.

The influence OF climate upon a constitution
conditions, in water, and in food, is often
marked and disastrous. Disorders of the bow
els and Of the liver, frequently terminating
fatally, are proneto attack the tourist by land
or voyager by sea in unaccustomed attitudes
more particularly those near the equator. The
best medicinal protection against irregularities
of the bowels, stomach and liver, not only from
the above, but whatever cause arising, is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, a medicine in wide
and increasing demand in sultry portions of
this hemisphere, and also in the tropics. TRAY
elers, emigrants, jewellers and temporary So
journers in malarious districts use it very ex-
rensively as safeguard.

THE xEDs ON THE RAMPAGE.


A dispatch to the Tuscon, Arizona,
Star from Silver City, New Mexico,
says the Indians have been committing
terrible depredations in the Rio, Grande
valley and southwest of Fort Cummings
for several days past. The people Of
the town of Colorado have been besiegea
and fighting since Saturday. On Sun
day volunteer company of thirty men,
under Captain John c. Crouch, went
from Mesilla and Cruces to their aid ;.
They met 100 Indians near Colorado,
eighteen miles from Slocum's ranch, on
, the. side Of the road.
THE WHITES DEFEArEp.
Afterpa severe fight the volunteers
were compelled to fall back. They had
running fight into Slocum's 8. Ranch.
The killed in the fight were w. T.
Jones, County Clerk of Donna Ana
county, and four Mexicans. On the re.
ceipt OF the news at Mesilla two more
companies of so men were raised by
Colonel Rynerson, composed Of the best
men in Mesilla valley. The companies
were to join Crouch to-day at Slocum's-
WAGON TRAINS ATTACKED.

were killed. In, the other all hands
escaped Both trains were scattered.

left standing in their yokes.
ERICH SLAUGHTER,
Corpses lie all along the noad. The
number Of people known to- have been
killed within the past four or five days
aggregates about forty. An Indian
trail leaving the stage road yesterday
leads toward this Black Range and the
vicinity of the Hillsboro mining camp.

had received money for his vote for In

to negotiate for the sale of his vote for
$500. The money was procured and
counted in Waits presence, and he was
Informed that it woud be given him as
soon as he had cast his vote for Ingalls,.
Wait, to procure, further evidence of
bribery, enlisted other opponents of In
gals in the plan, and after securing
what they deemed ample evidence to

voted against Ingalls,. Possibly this

The New York Times treats the re-
port that George Walker has secured
the probable participation of the Ger
man Government in another monetary
conference as evidence that theAdminis-
tration is pushing the matter, and con-
demns it's action as absurd and mis-
chievous, and comparing it to the pro-
posed conference ia which the fox in
vited his fellows when he lost his tail.
If, says the Times, anything was
ever demonstrated with mathematical
certainty, it is that the experiment made
III silver coinage rs a dead failure IN
al legitimate advantages anticipated
from it, while it threatens our tinan-
cal system with indefinite dangers.
The feeling that this is so is becoming
general. Why should it be checked by
an illusory plan for getting us out of our
own troubles by getting othernatfonsinto
similar ones? The Times thinks, how
ever, that the scheme will succeed, and
the money necessary to carry it out be
voted by the Silver party, though we
may not get the necessary appropsia-
tions to carry out our Indian treaties,
or to keep up our Sinking fGnd.

II by the action of the Arizona Legislature
g last Winter in divercing one William

- Smith It was stated at the time that
Smith, who was not resident of Ari-
IONA Territory at that time, procured
the divorce through the Agency of Tom
Fitch, who was member of the Legis-
laSure, to enable him 10 marry Miss
- Annie CarpeIsses; Fitch's niece, whose
relations with Smith were the cause of
- much comment. Immediately after the
Legislature divorced Smith he married
Miss Annie Carpenter. Mrs Smith
number one. then brought suit against
's~ her husband in Judge Morrison's Court
at San Francisco. The case was tried
this week, and the Court decided that
u Smiths marriageawith Annie Carpenter
was null and void, on the grounds that
his marriage with the plaintiff had not
been annulled by competent court of
justice, and that he was non resident
OF Arizona at the time his so-caled
divorce was procured by an act of the
Legislature Bhis places Smith in an
awkward predicament and Miss Car,

reciprocates her feelings, while he cares
nothing whatever for his lawful wife.

Two buggies stopped at a certain
hotel, and two gentlemen jumped out
almost simultaneously and went into
the hotel. leaving two ladies' IN their

the hotel was led aside from the actual
fact in the little matter of getting into
the right buggy In word Mr.. }. got
