The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-07-03

med the Re d'Italia, and sank the Pales>
tro, there has not been even skirmish
between the fleets OF any OF the great
naYal powe5s, though Russia and Turkey
and France and Germany have been at
war, and We may rest assured that after
the engagement of IquiqEe, in which all
she Peruvian spd Cbilisn vessels con-
cerned seem to have gone down, COM
manders everywhere will be confirmed in
It might be thought that with accu-
rate arms IN the hands oftrained soldiers
considerable percentage of hits might
be made, but incompIets as are the stat
istics on shis point they show thai fewer
bullets now have their billets than ever
before. At Spicheren the Germans hit
one French for every s79 cartridges ex-
pended, and at Woerth lac of every 147
bullets fred were thrown awsy. The
Russisn figures for the late war are not
regarded as over-acsurRte, being suspi-
ciously small, yet they represent sixty
six rounds fred for one man hit. But
we have a more striking SET of figures
from Zululand. The Zulus are describ-
ed as fighting with great ferocity and
boldness, scorning eonceaInent, coming
on in dense masses and charging up to
the muzzles of the English rifles. The
English troops are splendidly armed,
having guns, rockets ard Gatlings, as
well as their rifles, and in the engage
aents where thsy have proved victori-
GUS they have largely increased thsir
enemies losses by cutting them down
with cavalry or spearing them after
they have been repulsed. Yet at Cling
hilova 5000 men poured cesseless vol
leys into the Zulus for an hour and
half at from thirty to 600 yards range,
and killed 1000 of them; that is, it
would take one soldier seven hours and
half steady WORK with q Martini
Henry to pot one Zulu And at Rorke's
Drift, where the Zulus came so close
that they were blown to pieces, bayonet>
ted or dubbed, 100 men firing for twelve
hours only "mowed down" 500 of
their savage foes. Arms of precision
even against an enemy who come on in
solid array and to close quarter are not,
it seems, nearly so deadly as the old
Tower musket and round bullet with
which men fired slowly, it is true, but
not for that the less surely, and relied
mora on their aim than on their arms
for the work.

THE AZTLAN MILL BURNED.
Supposed Act of an sn-
 cendiary-

Between 10 and II o'clock Friday night, persons in Prescott observed great columns of flame and smoke ascending sl1yward, from a point about five miles south of town, ex- actly in the direction of the AZtlan mill. Some people guessed that the mill was on fire, while others sup posed that the timber, or brush pile, or something else, was destroyed The matter was settled this morning by the arrival of a messenger from the scene of the confiagration, with news of the total destruction of the mill consisting of houses, ten stamps, full complement of pans, settlers, boilers, steam engine, etc, all of the value of $12,O0O.
 The mill has had an eventful career. Erected by Moves aud Cur tis In 1866, to work the Upqua lode it was afterwards moved to the Chase mine, then to Groom creek, where it is now in ruins.
 The Peck Company owned and run it for several years past and 1t was, really. under their management, the first successful bullion-maker in this part of the Territory. During Peck family feuds, it was now held by MT. Ed G. Peck: then NIT. c. C.. Bean, who we believe, recently trans ferred it to a New York Company, of which he is Agent. Messrs. Bean, Peck, Opdyke and others are now out, cndeavoring to find out whether or not the fire was accidental. The general belief here is that some mis- creant set it on fire. If so, all of our people hope that his discovery, cap t1Ire and punishment will shortly be accomplished. Hanging would be too good for the author of such a crime.
 Believing that Mir. Bean still own ed the mill. true sympathy was every where expressed for him, for, be it known. that he is one of AriZona's s most persevering business man. A man who has yet never said fail and who has often turned defeat into vic tory. Its loss will be felt by the miners of Groom Creek and other districts, who have a great deal of rich ore piled at their mines, which Mir Bean was going to work. A re ward of $1 900 is offered for the devil who caused the loss.
 MT. Bishop, watchman at the mill, was asleep when the flames broke Out-ArizOnid'n

Grasshopper Cruel.

In Sierra and Martis Valleys the In
dian huts can be seen, and in and around
them are congregated the warriors and
squiws of the tribe, their sisters, and
their cousins, and their aunts, all intent
upon the accomplishment of the grand
result. AS usual, the squaws do the
work, while their noble lords loll upon
the green sward, smoke their pipes, and
dreamily and lazily gaze upon the count
less myriads of buzzing hoppers that fill
the air and devour vegetation. The
squaws, carrying cone-shaped baskets of
great capacity, scoop the grasshoppers
with a fan-shaped implement into their
baskets, and when loaded carry the wig
Cling mass of insects to camp, and then
prepare them for food. The grasshop-
pers, killed and subsequently dried, are
mixed with mashed pine nuts or cracked
wheat and made into Il kind of flour
which is afterward made into bread,
most delicious to the palate of the
WashOe. White visitors to the camp,
are always invited, in accordance with
Indian hospitality, to partake of the
compound, and great is the astonish-
ment of poor Lo at the disgust eN-
pressed by the white man for this kind
of food.

The Cabul Massacre.

LONDON, September 11.-Indian Off
cials telegraph further details of the attack
on the British Residency at Cabul. 1t is re-
lated by the trooper who escaped that when
the mUtinous troops We're making the out
cry for their pay soldier cried, " Let us kill
the Envoy and then the Ameer." The mu-
tineers then rushed upon the Embassy and
stoned some of the servants. The troops
composing the escort of the Embassy fired
upon the mutineers without orders from
the British officers. The mutineers
then went for their weapons. They We're
absent about a quarter of an hour, during
which time the British officers might have
escaped. The Residency was defended from
the windows and from a trench made on the
outside with mud roof. A trooper was
the bearer of a letter to the mutineers, then
on the roof of the Embassy, promising them
six months pay. He was seized and thrown
from the roof and made insensible. When
he recovered he was brought before Gen.
Kerim Khan, commander of the mutinous
brigade, who said he was powerless against
the mutineers, and ordered the trooper to be
imprisoned.
Another account from Simla gives the fol-
lowing additional particulars: The roof of
the British Residency at Cabul was COM
mandcd by other houses, and consequently
untenable by the besieged, who made
trench outside. At about O'Clock in the af
tcrnoon on the day Of the massacre Maj.
Cavagnari received Il wound from a ricochct-
ting bullet on his forehead. Mr.. ,Ienkyns,
Maj. Cavagnari's assistant, who arrived ut
the Rrsidcncy during the attack, wrote Ia the
Amcer for help, and the Amcer's reply
was: God willing, ] am making arrange
ments." \ previous request for aid from
Mai. tavagnari had met with the same re-
ply. Mr.. .Icnl>yn> wrote again when Maj
t:iva"n;ri was wounded, but the bearer of
the letter was cut to pieces by mutincer.
\ trooper then started but was di~armed
and Imprisoned. He succeeded in escaping
at daybreak on the 18th of September and
visited the Residency, where lie said the

Cooking by Steam.

A stove has been invented by New
York man to be used in connection with
the Holly steam-heating apparatus as
introduced in Lockport, n. Y, SPRING
field, Mass, and other places. An OK
hibition trial of the new stove, held in
Lockport recently, is said to have been
great success. Different kinds of
meat, vegetables, eggs, bread and pastry
were roasted, boiled, baked, fried, and
broiled with astonishing rapidly The
Journal says:
''The roast beef was finely carbonized
juciness and the delicious flavor which
it contained. The chicken was nicely
Drowned, very tender, and of fine flavor.
The white potatoes were both mealy and
well baked. The ham, which was
broiled in the short space of three
minutes, instead of being hard
when cold, remained soft and juicy.
The mutton-chops and beef-steaks were
especially commented on for their ten
derness and fine flavor. A loaf of bread
was baked in the oven in the short space
of so minutes, and when taken out it
had good brown crust; but, what was
more remarkable, the bread was re-
turned to the oven and allowed to re-
main there one and half hours without
being injured in the slightest particular.
The coffee was boiled in one of Mr.. Ash
croft's patent pots in about 10 minutes,
without losing any of its aroma. This
cooking by steam is a wonderful inn
provement upon the ordinary mode, and
can not help but come into general use.
Succulent vegetables contain sufficient
water to cook themselves; and the diff
ference in flavor when boiled in their
own juices than when in water one can
not believe until he has tried the expert
ment. BY means of this stove and
broiler, the meats, vegetables, ETC., can
be either fried, broiled, or baked, with
out being scorched; and no food can be
spoiled from over-cooking.'

The Peruvian Natives.

A Bolivian paper has the following ac-
count of the council of war held by the
Carapucho Indians of Peru, when it was
decided to help against the Chilians:
"The Goth day of last moon Il great
assemblage of warriors met under the
ancient tamarinds of the hamlet of the
terrible Traumacan, Chief of the Cara
puchos. There were over 800 warriors,
of frightful countenance and sinister
mien, whose gestures showed the joy
the prospect of destruction and murder
had aroused in their ferocious minds.
Traumacan was seated on Il rude stool
formed of the bones of ten chiefs over
come by him, and under the panopoly
made by the skulls of 100warriors whom
he had slain with his war-club or saber,
and he presided over the hellish assem-
bly, like the dark genius of the woods.
"Soon the grove thrilled with the ter
rifle howl of .Aoum, Chile-a-um,
Chile THAT is, Death, death to the
Chileans ,'-bellowed by the 500 throaiS
still reeking with the blood of human
victims devoured on the preceding cver-
ing. Next day an ambassador clad in
feathers left the royal village carrying .
communication to the commandant of
Fort San Ramon to the following effec',
as officially transcribed into SPANISH

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Probable Strength of Each Party When Al
Vacancies are Filled,

Probable Strength of Each Party When All
Vacancies Filled.
From the Philadelphia Times Qnd.-Dcm.).l
The election of four Republicans to
Congress from California is now conceded,
and the close condition of parties in the
House attracts very general attention. All
the members of the present Congress are
now chosen, with the exception of vacancy
i'll the WeStchester District of New York, Oc-
casioned by the death of Alexander Smith,
Republican, who died on the day he was
elected, and vacancy in Iowa, occasioncd
by the death of Rush Clark, Republican, who
died during the late extra session. Both
these vacancies will be filed at the fall cleo
tions-that in Iowa in October, and that in
New York in November. The New York
district is strongly Democratic, having given
Tilden 12,054 votes to 1914 for Hayes, and
having elected Clarkson Potter to Congress
in 1876 by 1919 majority: but Smith, Repub
lican, was elected in 1873 by plurality,
through large Greenback diversion. 1t is
reasonably certain that Democrat will be
chosen, unless the internal dissensions of the
Democracy throw it away. A Republican
will doubtless be elected in Iowa to succeed
Clark, as the district gave Clark s. 20 ma
jority in 1876 and 2,194 in 1878. Assuming
that the two members to be elected will be in
accord with the overwhelming political sem
timent of the districts, the House will stand
as follows when it meets i'm December:
