We have received from MT J. R. Mallo- ", the very efficient Agent of the Colo rado River Reserve, a specimen of earth enware made by the Mohave Indians. It is made to initiate one of the tin canteens so we'll known to our travellers and pro. spectors, with slots for strap and well adapted for carrying as well as cooling water. But the most interesting feature is the decoration which consists of the alphabet, of we'll made letters, forming a resemblance to snake. This Is one of the results of the school so lately estab- lished on the reservation, of which we have given some account; the Indians, old and young, are anxious to learn and considerable progress has been made in the four months it was in operation, sev- eral learning to read quite creditably. The material is the common clay usea so generally for ollas, nicely burned and, being quite porous, the water seeps grad ually through and evaporating cools the contents.
 Mir. Mallory has our thanks for this piece of pottery and our best wishes for the prosperity of his plans and endeavors to improve the mental condition of the wards under hls guardianship.

The Las Vegas Gazette says of the Atcl

The Las Vegas Gazette says of the Atch. ison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad:
 According to reports the railroad has been definitely located by way of Glorieta and the Galisteo. This is radical bend to the west and puts Las Vegas at the apex of the right angle and gives it undis- puted control of all the country on the south and east. The road will pass by the Galisteo route 15 or 20 miles south of Santa Fe. A branch will likely be con- structed to that city.
 It will strike the Rio Grande and con. tinue down the valley as far as Palomas when it will leave the river and continue west through the Silver City region.
 This region secures good local business in every portion of New Mexico. It will control the coal interests of Colfax coun- ty, the wealth of the populous counties of Mora and San Miguel, the rich mining regions south of Santa Fe, the largest portion of the rich valley of the Rio Grande and the copper and silver produc- tions of Grant county. It will go directly through the substance and kernel of New Mexico.

Advice to Printing Office Visitors

Never send an article for publication without giving the editor thy name, for thy name often secures publication to worthless articles.
 Thou shouldst not rap at the door of a printing office; for he that aEswereth the rap sneereth in his sleeve and loseth time. Never do thou loaf about, nor knock down type, or the boys will love thee as 1 they do the shade tree-when thou leavest Thou shouldst never read the copy on the printers case or the sharp and hook ed container thereof, or he may knock | thee down.
 Never Inquire of the editor for news, for behold it is his business to give it to thee at the appointed time without ask. l ing for it.
 It is not right that thou shoulds: ask him who is the author of an article, for it is his duty to keep such things to him. self.
 When thou dost enter his office, take heed unto myself that thou dost not look at what concerns thee not, for that is not meet in the sight of good breeding. Neither examine thou the proof-sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine eye that thou mayst understand.
 Thou shouldsu not delude myself with the thought that thou hast saved few cents when thou hast received a dead. head copy of his paper, for whilst the printer may smile and say it's all right, he'll never forget thy meanness.

The telegraph renorts that a Yuma Indian is the clark horse" in the race, and is backed by cer- tain San Francisco sporting men. He is said to have made 15O miles in A hours.
 We have no means of verifying the above as regards the Yuma Indian' but do not doubt it as there are several of this tribe who have made that time. an lndi, an has gone from Yuma to Ehrenberg, ninety miles and back in less than two days quite often.

From the Citizen we gather the follow ine as explanatory of the alarming report that masses had been granted to 1900 h. disps from the San Carlos Reservation.
 Itis probable that if that number of masses were given HOO were women and children, and given to enable them to gather acorns etc The Reservation is about 125 miles long by 6Owide, and pass es which merely exempt from roll call on issue day are often given although the bearer does not leave the Reservation :; and 1900 Indians does not mean as many warrors, probably over 90 per cent would be women and children.
 Eskiminzin-formerc chief of that tribe and now farmer on the San Pedro, just at the corner of the reservotion-arrived in town last evening, and assures us that the Indians at San Carlos, as a body, are justas docile as they have been since 1875. If the depredations recently committed this side of Sonora line are the work of Indians, they certainly come from that rowing band of renegades who have been wandering about Northern Sonora, East ern Arizona, and Western New Mexico, during the last three years.
 Nevertheless the correspondence of the Star fl om Camp Huachuca reports an at- tack upon O. E. Shaw, at old Camp Wal len and driving off II mules and one mare. Lieut.. Bailey and his command in forty minutes after receiving news of this attack were mounted and off on trot and in about thirty miles struck the trail.
 It is possible that these are the same Indians who murdered the Shellenbach brothers, and that they are from San Carlos, but more probable that they are the party of regegades from Hot Springs that has been roaming about in Sonora and New Mexico for year past. Tie Shellenbach murder at the Santa Ri.as was on July 30th and the Shaw attack at Camp Wallen on August 1st, just time fer the Indians to get from one place to the other.
 Capt. Chaffee is too good a disciplinari- an (though by no means martineO to have issued passes to force of Indians li- able 10 do much mischief, and we trust soon to hear that the report was without foundation.

Horrible Suicide.

This community was startled this
afternoon by the report that Hon. Isaac
Edwards, one of Albany's oldest and
most respected citizens, had committed
suicide by cutting his bowels out. The
rumor proved too true. Mr.. Edwards
had been for some months past laboring
under temporary insanity, and at advice
of friends and ply sicians about month
ago went to Florida for the benefit of
his health, accompanied by his daughter.
He returned to Albany, Saturday, and
appeared somewhatimproved. He went
down to his Office this morning, return
ing to his home about noontime. He
talked with his family about an hour
and then wentup stairs, partly undressed
himself, having previously procured a
large carving-knlfe from the kitchen,
and stabbed himself in the abdomen,
just above the navel. twice, inhicting
injuries from which he died in a few
moments. His family heard noise and
rushed out, finding him clinging to the
banister, blood streaming from his
wound. The deceased was a member
of the Board of Public Instruction, Pro-
fessor in Albany Law School, author OF
numDer OF Valuabie law WorKS, ana
an upright and honorable citizen. The
suicide has caused a profound sensa-
ton in Albany. where the deceased

The Rights OF Passengers in Sleeping
Cars.

In Massachusetts, case, decided last
summer, a San Francisco passenger
over the Lake Shore road bought a
sleeping-car ticket at Cleveland for a
berth in the car China. At Toledo he
left the car for dinner, but first asked
an employe in the car if he should leave
his baggage, and would it be safe. The
employe answered yes. But, when the
traveller returned, the China had been
switched off and the hand-baggage of
the passengers carried into another car,
which had been substituted for it. In
this transfer the passengers valise was
lost; he could never get any account of
it; and he sued, not the Wagner Car
Company who owned the China, but
the Lake Shore Company. They were
for referring him to the owners of the
China, but the court decided against
the defense. The travellers contract
for transportation being with the Lake
Shore Company, the fact that they had
private arrangements with another cor
poration as to the terms for drawing a
particular car, in which the traveller was
not interested or concerned, made no
difference in his right to sue them for
negligent loss of his baggage. In a
very recent case in Ohio the same ques
ton arose as to personal injury. The
traveller in sleeping-car had his head
bruised by the porter letting the upper
berth fall upon it as he was arranging
the car for the night. The blow affect
ed the spine, and partial paralysis re-
suited. The injured person sued the
carrying company, which sought to
throw the responsibility on the sleep
ing-car owners. And this case seems
stronger than the other, for the negli-
gence was in the manipulation of the
berths, and had no direct relation to the
transportation which the railroad com
pany had undertaken. But the court
held that the case could not be shifted
upon the other corporation. The rail-
road company was responsible to trav-
elers for it's whole train, for all cars
alike.-NeW York Tribune.

Coincident Deaths Of PIaymates.

We are informed by gentleman of
the following peculiar circumstance
which has taken place on Munjoy hill,
in this city, within the week just passed:
"Three boys, living as above, ranging in
age from to 4 years, have been bosom
friends and companions, playing in a
party by themselves, and each striving
to please the others in every way. Dur
ing the fore part of last week one of
their number died suddenly with Group,
and his death, as may be imagined, was
sadly felt by the remaining two. At
the funeral they both, with their
parents, occupied prominent places
among the circle of mourners, showing
every symptom of deep grief at the loss
Of their playmate. All at once they be-
gan to cry violently, and, on being
questioned, gave the somewhat ludi-
crous answer, saying they wanted a
casket. same as - has got A few
days after their friends burial, one Of
the two boys sickened and died with the
same terrible disease, and at the present
time the last of the three friends lies

The report of singular occurrence
comes from Brecksville. About fort
night ago Mr.. Ritchie, farmer living
in Brecksville township, discovered, on
going out one morning, that something
extraordinary had taken possession of
his flock of sheep, six in number.
They were frothing at the mouth, and
biting viciously at one another, and
even tearing the wool from their own
hips and sides. Nearly all bore marks
of violence, as if they had been attacked
by some wild animal. and their wool was
bespattered with blood. Mr.. Richie,
becoming alarmed, and scarcely know
ing how to act, drove them all into a
pen and locked them up. Their malady
increased, and one by one they all died.
At the same time, another farmer by
the name of Burt, a neighbor of Mr..
Richie, passed through similar expe-
rience. He had four sheep, and all
were taken with the same malady, dying
in the course of day or two. These
also bore marks of bites and scratches.
The general conclusions arrived at after
consultation was that the focks had
been attacked by mad dog, and that
hydrophobia had caused their death.
The symptoms were those of the disease
beyond any possible doubt, and the two
men set themselves to work to bring
about an explanation of the trouble. A
few days after 2-year-old steer, owned
by Mr.. Burt, showed the same signs of
the sickness, and bore marks of bites
and scratches. The animal still con-
tinues to suffer, and appears gradually
to be growing worse. Now thoroughly
aroused, the two families set out a day
or two ago and made a careful examina-
ton of the ground where the sheep had
been pasturing. In one place in the
field they found unmistakable signs OF
struggle, and, guided by the snow,
they tracked the footprints of dog to a
distance of two miles. Here they came
to the house of laboring man, and
found the cause of all the trouble to be
a worthless, starved-looking cur, that
barked and snarled as they approached

French Laws and Customs.

There are many strange anomalies in
French laws and French customs. A
young girl who recently SHOT her Sc
lucer because he refused to keep his
promise of marriage has just been ac-
quilted at Bordeaux; and yet French
law takes into no account breach of
promise; nor has girl who has been
seduced any claim on her lover even for
the support of child. The murdered
man, therefore, committed no illegal
act, and the girl who took the law into
her own hands is acquitted, to the great
delight of crowded court.
