entire train. Among the injured are
Charles Hawley, Express Messenger, re-

THE INDIANS.
Victoria's Operations i'm New

TUcsox, ARIZONA, October PA Sill
YER CITY, y. NJ, letter says OF the slaugh-
ter on the 18th: Arriving at the scene
of the tragedy We found 10 persous
dead, and buried them. Five others
are known to have been killed, but we
have not found them. No Indians are
reported gone to the Mimbres Noun
tains. About $50 Apache scouts, lately
with Col. Morrow in New Mexico, have
returned TO Arizona, their time OF en-
listment having expired. They refused
to enlist, and this probably gave rise to
the rumOr that the Indian scouts
had deserted and joined the enemy.
Governor Wallace is now at Las Vegas:
Ii is now believed that VictOrias band
is TRYING to 20 through by the Burro
mountains to Mexico. Col. Morrow
saws he has troops enough to whip Vic
toria, but il will take two months to do
it. He needs couple of light howit-
zers. Volunteers are being raised at
Messilla and Los Cruetes. In the fight
on the 18th, the Messilla and Los
Cruetes company, numbering thirty
men, was massacred by one hundred
Indians, only one man escaping. The
stages leave here regularly Tor the east
as though there was no trouble.

Weekly Review of English Grain Trade
LONDON, October 2l.-The Mark Lane
Express SAYS the imports of foreign
wheat into London have been fairly
liberal, the scale of last Mondays re-
turn showing something over $1,000
quarters, while the subsequent arrivals
up TO Friday amounted to 6S, 100 quar-
ters. Notwithstanding the increased
supplies, activity and excitement pre-
vailed in the market. The week sales
have been large, as millers bought free
lv, and prices have risen from TO 4
shillings on the week under the stimu-
lus of increased consumption and spec
ulation. Maize on spot still scarce.
Mixed American was scarcely to be had
at the close of the market, Friday, at 2S
shillings and pence, per $50 pounds.
Flour has risen considerably, while
oats favored sellers shilling To shill-
ing and pence per quarter.
Arrivals off coast moderate and
prices have shown an advance.
For wheat the improvement up to Sat
urday was from 3 shillings to shillings
pence subsequently, with a pros
pect of large arrivals, there has been
decided pause. Maize is in fair demand,
and prices have advanced = shillings d
pence. a very large, but somewhat lr-
regular, business was done in foreign
wheat, and prices were 3Gi shillings
higherduring the week. 4 quieter tone,
however, was apparent on Monday, and
part OF the advance was lost. Not much
business was done in barley, but prices
tend in the sellers favor. The sales of
English wheat last week amounted to
20, l22 quarters at 40 shillings 8 pence
per quarter, against 81, ,562 quarter at 30
shillings 3 pence for the corresponding
week last year. The imports into the
United Kingdom for the week ending
October i were 1,0l9,974 cwt. of wheat
and l9S,S72 cwt. OF flour.

CEPHALIC AUTOPSY OF DIR.
LIE MOYNE.
Discoveries of Interest To Scient-
lists.

Washington Reporter.
Ii will be of interest to the general
reader, as well as TO the Psychologist, to
learn some facts that were developed by
the cephalic autopsy, or post norton eN-
animation OF the head OF DIR. LeNlOyne.
The object Of the investigation was 10
ascertain whether the disease (diabetes)
from which he died, was produced by
affection OF the brain. The substance OF
the brain WAS found 10 be in perfect
health The only abnormal condition
was little sac fluid, quite small, in each
OF the lateral ventricles, and not sui
ficient 10 create any disturbance in the
organ itself. The circumference OF the
head, lust above the ears was 23.5 inches,
From the middle OF the opening OF the
ear rcrOSS the top OF the head 10 the
same point on the opposite side, was
1919 inches. The form of the forehead
was slightly Tetrpating. while the great
atlevelopment of brain was IN front TO
the ears. The average brain OF q man il
stated 10 be 49, ounces, while that OF
the average woman is put at ~ ounces.
IL is singular fact that this
man, who was rs remarkable Tor ms
hne large phySlcdl deNtlpmeht aS lot
the vigOr and culture OF his mental
powers, should have had brain which
weighed only IS ounces, or one ounce
less than that oi the average woman. II
the qualities OF the mind are derived
from the qualities OF the brain rather
than the quantity, then We can under
stand why he exhibited superior intel
lectual ability. IL was observed that the
external convOlutions OF the brain were
remarkable for their unusual number
and consequent hneness. Possibly the
extended surface afforded by these con-
volutiOns may have been cOmpensa-
tion Tor the larl, Of size in the volume OF
the brain itself. These are questions,
however, which interest the physiolo-
gist and psychologist more than the
general reader.

had commanded him to do it, as he had
commanded Abraham to offer up his
son Isaac. He expected, however, that
God would stay his hand, as he did
Abraham's before he committed the
deed; but as He did not, Freeman

killing her almost instantly. Then he
proiesSed to have faith that the child
would come to life again on the third
dav, and when he learned that she did
not, and had been buried, he seemed to
be disappointed, but still professed to
believe that his act was a righteous one,
and that God would reveal his purpose
to him at some future day. Freeman
will be tried at a special session of the
Supreme Court, the date for holding
which has not vet been fixed. No in
dictment was found against Mrs. Free
