FRANCIS MURPHY.
The story of His Experience Related by
 Himself

Francis Murphy, the temperance agitator who is to speak this evening in the Grand Opera House, communicates the following story of his experiences:
 '' | do not care to speak of myself, but ii you Ihink that the example or my career will serve to warn humanity, l will be glad to give it to you. was born in the little village of Targoat, County of Wexford Ire land, on the 24th of April, 1886, and am consequently in my forty fourth year. My parents were in but humble circumstances. At the age of sixteen left home and came to this country, landing at Quebec. From that city 1 went to New York, where l re- mained, working at al sorts of trades. On the breaking out of the civil war in 1863, 1 enlisted in company K, sgd New York Volunteers, as a private. and fought all through the war. After peace had been concluded, was induced to go to Portland, Me, where had brother residing, and opened a hotel and saloon. Here my first experience in hard drinking began, and soon became a common drunkard, and when, in 1870, I was forced to close out my hotel business, I had lost several thousand dol lars and had been given up by every friend I possessed except one. That noble mau was a MT. Stutevant, a thorough Christian gentleman and an earnest temperance au- vocate. Through his efforts had my eyes opened to the folly of my course, and from that tune out became a total abstinence man. Through the temperance crusaders there, who held me up as an example Cf what could be done, 1 was induced to speak at a meeting there one evening. It was my maiden speech, and, at its conclusion, while I thought it only common place, was con graduated upon the effort. The earnest solicitations of my temperance friends then
 persuaded me to give up the position of kook keeper which had secured and de- vote myself to aiding my fellow-men to i battle down the demon Drink. lectured
 successiveIy in the States of Maine, New
 Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhede Island,
 with good results From there l visited | Chicago, in 1874, lectunng there to large audiences and etfecting much. | also mace ! the tour of Iowa, and thence returned 10 Pittsburgh, PennsylvAnIa, where monday meetings were held in one building, Tn 1876, ! for over .hree months, some O6,O00 people
 signing the pledge in that city alone. At ! Philadelphia the crusade lasted three months,
 also, and here over 50, 900 signed. In Troy, Springfield and Washington City, Heaven aided the cause, creating unbounded en- thusiasm among the people. Perhaps the greatest amount of work was accomplished ! in New York City last Fall, where 'Ae ] neople Aocked to our meetings, and old toners sipned the p.--eI,te Ss thousands. The work there is going on hravely, and l hope to find on my return that that great vice, in;empeFanpe, has received fatal blow there"
 Mir. Murphy is a widowor and has seven children. He Is a good speaker, and will, doubtless. accomplish much good.-Cali.

HEADQUARTERS.

Efforts are being made by the Saints living m the Southern section to have Headquarters of the Department trans ferred from Prescott, to the the alkali bot tom, near Maricopa. The Government has, during the last fourteen years, at different periods, built al cost of several hundred thousand dollars, one of the most comfort able and substantial Posts, Fort Whipple, in the Territory, and adjacent thereto. Head quarters. Army officers from all sections of the Territory admit that Headquarters are centrally aad wisely located. The sur rounding tribes ofIndians at once place 1t m inc most desirable and advantageous To- cality. To the North, we have no telegraph hues, and our mail facilities are meagre Tn the South, VIC arc in communication with all the posts and towns by telegraph and SO far as directing the movements of hoops. etc. is concerned, the CommandeI oss the Department can do so from Prescott ;,st as easy as he could were he stationed al Maricopa or Tucson. It isreally the aim oi those who are deepes: in the plot to have transfer made from Whipple to harieopa knowing as they do that white men can hardly exist at the new town of Maricop' with its salt water and surrounded by aka I; flats and hills ot drifting sand, and that station there would only be temporary when they have Lapes that another change would take headquarters to the sickly town of Tucson. The northern portion ot tho Territory, which contains all the raHoiinR tribes of Indians can be guarded and han died much better from whipple than any other point, and now at this late day, tc abandon fine buildings, give up the most deSrable spot in all the Territory, just to ,,ra,;tx the desire of few schemers whC live of the Government pap seems to us un- ius, and all wrong. It is to be hoped that Gen. Mcdowell and other officers in higf standing will see through this little scheme of the plunderers of the public treasury and give them a just rebuke, which VII stop their whining, whimsical prayers for ever and leave Prescott in possession o that which she is entitled to by nature and the combination of circumstances. Int Secretary of War is respectfully asked t' nut his foot downin opposition tothis grea wrong about to be perpetrsied.

ANOTHER ACCoUNToF THE DEATH OF Cts TER An Indian account of the death of Custer llnot, think, prove uninteresting The Indians say that after the general stam- peue Custer tried 10 rally his men around him. He waved his pistol in the air and shot it of twice to attract his men. Two or three gathered around him, but, as the Indians still continued to advance, one of the soldiers tried to run away, and Custer fired al him and killed him, and then, see ing the case was quite hopeless, the Indians gathering around from all parts. turned his revolver on himself. preferriBg to die by his own hand The Indians say that they think this man was Custer, as he was a chief but they are not certain of the fact. Rain in-the-face took soldier prisoner, but he was not allowed to live long, as he was kill ed at a dance that followed the fight The Indians here all agree on one thiog-ihat the number of indians killed in the fight was thirty-six. They give their names
