FROM THE INDIAN COUNTRY.

Los Pinos, Col, Oct. 21.-Gen. Adams,
special commissioner Of the interior depart
ment, to effect the release of the the women
and children captured at White river aeen-
.cy, accompanied by Count Darnhof, Of the
German legation at Washington, reached
Ouray's house last night, and came to the
agency this forenoon. He leaves immedi.
ately for the White river country, under an
escort Of fifteen Utes, commanded by Chief
Saperno. Douglass 10 encamped about 100
miles from here. If the women are given
up he will probably return in six days.
Chief Ouray is doing oil in his power to as.
sist Adams, and there is a fair prospect that
the women will be Immediately surrendered
on his reaching the Indian camp. A run
ner in yesterday reports them safe and kind
~ treated BY Douglass.
A Silver City, N. NJ, letter says Of the
slaughter ON the 18th: Arriving at the
scene Of the tragedy We found sixteen per-
sons dead. We buried them. Five others
are known to have been killed. We have
found no Indians about. A reporter has
gone to Miambrus. About $50 Apache
scouts, lately with Col. Morrow in New
Mexico, have returned to Arizona, their
time of enlistment having expired. They
refused to reinlist. This probably gave
rise TO the rumor that the Indian scouts had
deserted and Joined the enemy. Gov. Wal.

Yictoria's band is trying to go through by

He needs a couple of light howitzers. Vol
~unteers are being raised at Mesiilla and Los
Cruces. In the fpht ON the 18th tho Mes.
silla and Cruces company, numbering thir-

only one man, Hicke, escaping. Stages

A POSITION DECLINED.
Tn First Instance Wherein a Fat Office
Finds q Man Who docs not Want IL.

Tn First Instance Wherein a Fat Office
Nye, in the Laramie Times.
By private letter from Carl Schurz I learn
that the position Of general superintendent
of agriculture at the White River agency is
now vacant, and the department is casting
about for a suitable person to take the place.
Some Of my friends have suggested my
name as a proper one for consideration, but
with due gratitude for their tho%nghtfulness.
I must decline.
There are five acres Of potatoes on the
reservation that have not been harvested,
and that il all the work which the agricul-
tural superintendent would have 10 attend
to this fall. which, Of course, would not be
a long or difficult undertaking, but that is
not the point. No man. wants to gather
potatoes at a time in the history of the coun-
try when he may be gathered himself with
out warning, and in the midst of a sinful
career. A man who has done some little
newspaper work In his life, and also run for
the legislature. wants some time for preps.
ration before he is gathered in. He really
needs ten years at the lowest estimate. And
think Of dying. too, in a potato patch
Gasping ones life away With ones head IN
a hill of potatoes. Giving one or Two con-
vulsive kicks and dying alone. with no eye
but the eye Of the potato to see, and nc
spectator but the speckled.tater. No man
wants tc turn up his toes and die like a pc.
tato bug 1t is unromantic and MOI, agreea-
bic.
If the department feels the loss of these
potatoes ana does not really feel able TO sue.
tain it. l will give my check for the value
Of the crops, but just now l am so overrun
! with work that l csnnot get out there to
dig them. So far as l am concerned. the
winter Of lS79-SO will freeze those potatoes
90 hard that they will never thaw out ag4in.

The Girls and Weddings.

As people who have visited the theater
take out Of their memories, for day or
so, some of the thirgs that amused them,
and laugh again, so young ladies' linger
lovingly over the details OF a wedding.
It's curious experience, life il: house
full Of girls who have just left mar
riage party. Their minds are full of the
great theme; they tenderly record each
incident; they can think of nothing else :;
and they tell each other thousand times
how the bride looked, and how she
dropped her bouquet, and who picked it
up again, and how the travelling dress be-
came her. Not otherwise than when, a
covey being dispersed, men 60 round and
shoot the struggling birds, so admirers
might easily win the hearts of the fair
who are still lowering wistfully round
the memory of a wedding. Thus nature
has provided chances for bridesmaids
and thus the superstition that it Is un-
lucky to be often q bridesmaid is justi-
fed. For If lady can survive heart
whole, and pass unscathed through these
moments Of sympathy, it is certain that
she never will be won.

AMONG the chemicals of American
manufacture which have superseded for

acid, the importation of which last year
reached only 1873 pounds, against 100000
not long ago. Of citric acid 27,O1S
pounds was imported against previous
annual importation of 100000. The
lime juice from which the acid is made
is still imported, on account of the small
growth of lines and lemons in the United
States. If Southern agriculturists gave
attention to these fruits new industry,
in extracting the juice, could be Develop
