INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.

The fair reader shudders when she
thinks of the settlers wife watching,
from the door of her rude hut, the re-
treating form of her husband going out
to his daily labor-going out perhaps to
return not again, for before nightfall a
savage hand may have laid him low
among the prairie grasses. Or it may be
a child, bright eyed daughter, is snatch
ed away in an unguarded moment, to
grace the next war dance. When we
read the heartrending details of these
savage depredations, We are apt to blame
the government for not taking more strict
precautions to insure the settlers protec-
ton. But we daily read of the depreda-
tons of that arch-fend, consumption,
with scarcely thought of the terrible in
roads it is making in human life. Tens
of thousands of homes are annually des-
olated by consumption to one by Indian
outrage. Like the Indian, consumption
oftenest comes stealthily, and no danger
is apprehended until the victim suddenly
finds himself hopelessly ensnared, and
deaths fatal arrow ends the scene. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, a
powerful Alternative, or blood-purifer,
and tonic, has restored thousands of con-
sumptive5 who had tried every other
remedy recommended to them, without
obtaining any relief, and are willing to
testify to its remedial powers.

THE HULL MURDERER.

Boston, June 24.-Cox, the murderer
of Mrs. Hull, says in his confession that
when he was in the room of Mrs. Hull
and the lady awoke and recognized her
peril, she begged him to take anything
of her he wanted, but not to kill her.
He then placed his left hand over her
mouth, she struggling all the time to re-
lease herself. Finally she became quiet,
he holding firmly all the while, and TAX
ing a sheet in his right hand and teeth he
tore 1t into strips. He placed one end
| of the sheet over her mouth and then
| proceeded to bind her as she was after
ward found. His object in tying her to
| the bed was because he feared she might
manage to roll off OH the floor and there
by make noise, which would arouse
some of the inmates of the house. He
says he had no idea he was exercising
violence sufficient to cause death or that
| even serious results would follow the af-
fair. After tying her feet he says he
lighted piece of candle he happened to
have in his pocket, and which he had
bought some time previous, in pursuit
of his honest occupation. He returned
to the kitchen where he got possession of
! the watch, and subsequently got the rest
| of the jewelry in the bureau drawers and
III the bed chamber. He then returned
to the chamber, and finding Mrs. Hull
breathing bard, became frightened, and
taking up bottle of cologne poured the
| contents over her face She continued
to breathe hard and he dashed pitcher
Of water that stood near by over her
body. After pouring the water over her
he hastily fled by the front door, which
he left open after him. He says he did
not outrage Mrs. Hull, and further that
such thought never entered his mind.
On leaving the house, he returned to
his lodgings on West Thirty-sixth street,
and got home and into bed without any
OF the inmates knowing it. He never
drank anything so be knew what he was
talking about The first he knew of the
murder, he says, was ON the next day.
When riding on an Eight avenue car the
driver remarked: "What a terrible af
fair that was last night on Forty-secopd
street. l see Mrs. Hull has been robbed
and murdered. Cox says when he was
told this the blood rushed up into his
head and he felt as if he was burning.
After leaving the driver he went ND to
Forty-second street, and on passing op
posite to Mrs. Hull's house saw detective
Schmittberger and other detectives. He
said he did not dare look at Mrs. Rulrs
house, and went to his lodgings. He
came to Boston on the Thursday follow
ing the murder, reaching here Friday
morning. He returned to New York TO
get his things at his boarding place on
the following Monday, and while on his
way to his old lodgings passed the New
York detectives again. They did not !
suspect him and he came back to This
city safe again on Friday last.

We cannot Go anything moderately.
We don't take time to eat or drink.
When the season OF social gatherings
