The Art of Talking.

If we notice closely we shall find that
the people who are most popular in social
life are those who understand not only how
to talk themselves, but how to make others
talk. This is very valuable gift To be
able to SO direct conversation as not to dis
play your own knowledge, but to draw out
the opinions aud quicken the thoughts of
those with whom you talk-this is an ac-
complishment indeed. 1t makes each a
contributor to the enjoyment Of all, and it
leaves with each pleasant sense Of having
said something which others were glad to
hear. This is very different from the con-
seiousness of having been bored or snub-
bed--or both, which lesser people often
carry away from the presence of fluent
aud tyrannical talker. There is a good
deal Of this sort Of conversational mission
ary work waiting to be done, and the time
which we spend in chattering about the
weather might be very pro6tably devoted
to it, 1t should be borne in mind that
there is scarcely any one Of average intel
ligence who cannot, if he is drawn out,
talk Interestingly aud instructively about
at least one thing, the thing with which
he is practically most familiar, or which is
connected with his regular labor Is your
companion on the car or on the street, n
machinist, a manufacturer, an artist,
builder, lead the conversation around to
the one subject, if there are DO others, in
which he is sure to be interested. The

full Murder and Robbery.

Last night Joseph Bernard, deaf and dumb
young man, aged about 81 years, came into the
police station and by his actions manifested
strong desire to fmpart some Information of
GESTURES for a time. and converSing with him in
that manner as near as could be understood, he
wished to say something to the following effect:
He had just returned from Park City or vicinity,
and on sunday night three men had broken Into
the house of person who was sleeping. Ad-
lCck. TWO OF the men were masked, while the
third had heavy beard on his face. The in
mate OF the house had been sleeping, but must
have awakened and arisen, as one of the
masked men stabbed him with long knife
ard then cut him across the abdomen,
lengthwise, and from the description, the cut
must have been a terrible one. The robOor
with the beard was then shot in the knee while
the party stabbed sank into chair and died.
One OF the robbers forced open a desk and took
therefrOm large roll of money, amounting &C.
cordiDg TO Demands own figures to some

From his description they had their clothes
the apparel of each was broken. The leg OF the
one shot in the knee had swollen great deal,
and all three were making for this city as rapid
ly as possible on foot. He showed by the watch
that they might be here early this morning and
he wanted them arrested. He evidenced a gen.

and significantly put his fingers to his throat,
rolled up his eyes and went through remarka-

He was very earnest, and some are inclined to
believe there is some foundation in the story.
He repeated the pantomime several times, and

GENERAL HATCH AND PARTY In DANGEROUS
POSITION.
A special to the Denver Tribune from Los
flnos, dated the 25th inst, represents that the
situation is very serious there. General Hatch
was to have started from Los Pinos Saturday
ana spend the night at Cline's ranch on the
llmarion. ON the 3oth he will start from there
Tor AlamoSa, which is the last railroad station,
General Hatch has given up all hope OF securing
the Indians, and as his departure Is tantamount
TO declaration OF war, much anxiety is felt as
TO his fate. There are several hundred braves
near Los PinoS ard the whites all told do not
number over twenty-five. The roads are blocked
with snow and only passable for light buck
boards. The Indians have the whites COM
pletely trapped. Those in the bowl are General
Hatch. Colonel Nalois, W. +. Saunders of Viz
ginia, the Denver Tribune correspondent, fifteen
soldiers, and the agency employees. General
Adams Is in Denver. 1t is believed that the
troop of cavalry under Colonel Mackenzie sta
toned at Fort Garland, had been ordered to
make a forced march to Los PinoS at once but
they cannot get there before the Indians make
an attack, unless Ouray succeeds In keeping
them quiet little longer. Ouray AnimaS
City, Silverton and other settlements are greatly
exposed. The White River UteS have consumed
all the stores taken from the White River
agency, and are eager to make an attack on the
Los PinoS agency. II General Hatch has left
without the Indian murdererS II Is considered
that war will open at once. The Indians will
strike the first blow, as they have everything
their own way at present, owing to the removal
of the troops TO distant points at the demand OF
Ouray.

the day information was received that a gen.

large number OF the enemy were seen occu-
pying the distant villages, and approaching
nearer as 1t became dark. At o'clock this
morning a fire was lighted on Asmi Heights, 1--WE
had been appriSed that this would be the
enemys signal for the attack,) and Immediately
afterwards the attack was commenced on three
sides. We were already prepared for 1t. On the
south and west the enemy did not show much
determination. but on the northeast corner OF
Behmaroo Heights some thousands collected
and evidently contemplated an assault. Gen.
Hugh Cough ably assisted by Col jenkins, COM
manded here. AS soon as the enemy'S fnten-
ton was fully developed l determined on a
counter attack with cavalry and artillery.
These issued by gorge between Behmaro0
Heights, opened fire on the enemy's flank, and
speedily dislOdged them. The cavalry pursued
and sahered numbers OF the enemy, who retired
from all points and hastily retreated to the city.
We have now occupied some advanced villages,
particularly those on the Butkak road. Gen.
