A DISPATCH from Los Pinos agency,

chiefs, selected to go 10 Washington, ar
rived at the agency on the day previous,

prisoners demanded. Gen. Hatch refus-
ed to proceed unless all the prisoners
were surrendered. Ouray then asked for
more time, and was given five days to
deliver all the rest of the prisoners at

state central committee, addressed a COM
munication to Gov. Garceon asking him
to consent to submitting all the disputed
points that arose in the canvass OF the

without question the result ola system
lied attack upon the executive depart
ment, not only without parallel, but
without cause" He expressed himself
as willing to do any proper thing to re-
store tranquility, and added; "Please to
indicate the points that occur to you
which have not already been adjudicated
upon, ami doubt not that we may be
able to secure satisfactory solution of
the doubtful complications" Several

Remarkable Fly Wheel Explosion.

On the night of December 5, 1879, the
Rensselaer, Iron Mill, at Troy, n. y, was
the scene of a most remarkable acci.
dent. The newspaper report says:
at was about 10 o'clock, and the 200
workmen were busily engaged at their
various tasks. Suddenly the large fly
wheel, 35 feet in diameter, and weighing
go tons, exploded, 1t being separated into
10 pieces of about 6 tons each. Each
of these pieces was hurled for some
distance, several of them being forced
through the roof. One passed through
the air about 200 feet, and descended
through the roof of neighboring mill.
Striking upon the iron floor, it bounded
for distance of so feet, settling within
three feet of nest of two boilers. Sew
eral workmen-were about passing when
the ponderous fragment entered, and
their escape from death was narrow.
James Wallace, heater, was buried
beneath five ton piece or the wheel,
and when extricsted was still alive. He
cannot recover, however, his skull be-
ing fractured, and he having been iniur-
ed internally. In places the roof was
completely destroyed. The damage
will not fall short of $4,000. Work
will be necessarily suspended for two
weeks or more. The escape from a
boiler explosion was exceedingly mar
row, a piece of the bursted wheel, weigh
ing six tons, falling between two of
another nest of boilers, and destroying
a portion of the brick work. Had the
mass crashed through the boilers. the
loss of life would have been large.
Another fragment descended through
the roof, breaking a steam pipe and
burying itself through the floor at a
spot where a workman had been stand
ing not five seconds before. The wheel
had been in use IL years, often subject
ed to inspection, and the cause of Its
explosion is mystery"

STRANGE IMMIGRANTS.
Arrival Of Party Of Arabs at Castle
Garden. Their Escape from a French
Prison,
New York Herald.


Among Yesterdays arrivals at Castle
Garden were eight Arabs, who claim
to have escaped from prison at Cayen-
ne, French Guiana. The names of the
new corners are Mohammed Bajik,
Kada Benois, Boaiza Bladoni, Hamed
Mohammed, Mohammed Bechelil,
Brain Ben Achmed, Amar Moham-
med, and Heshmi Ben Achmed. They
arrived here in a destitute condition by
the steamship Bahama, from the West
Indies, and begged the Commissioners
of Emigration to assist them. Accord
ing to their statements they took part
in the revolt against the French at AL
giers in 1870, and were all taken pris-
oners at that time, with the exception
of Mohammed Bajik and Boaiza Bla-
doni. These two succeeded in escaping,
but having returned in 1876 to visit
their families in Algiers, they were
discovered and sentenced to twenty
years Imprisonment III the French pris-
on at Cayenne. Brain Ben Achmed
and Heshmi Ben Achmed were also
sentenced to twenty years, Mohammed
Bechelil to twelve years and Kada
Benois, Hamed Mohammed, and Amar
Mohammed to transportation for life.
Two of these men escaped in 1872,
having received permission from their
keeper to go to Maronic, neighboring
village, for provisions. The other six
escaped last April, having overpowered
their keeper, bound him, placed him
in government canal boat, and taken
him along with them to Demerara,
where they handed him over to the
| French Consul. 1t took them six days
| to reach Demerara, and as they had
brought no provisions along they were
without food of any kind for four days.
On the fifth day they were met by an
English sailboat vessel, from which
they received sea biscuit and boiled
rice. They remained at Demerara four
months, during which time they work
| ed on sugar plantations. AS soon as
they had accumulated sufficient money
they engaged passage to Trinidad on
an English steamer, paying twenty
francs each. In Trinidad they worked
for four and a half months in building
roads, and, having secured 175 francs,
bought passage tickets for this city on
the Bahama. They now wish to 60 to
| Tunis, and are DESTROYS of obtaining
employment here in order to raise suf-
ficient money to enable them to pay
their way to that place,or at least across
the ocean. The capital of the party
| amounts to So, American money, with
which they intend to support them
selves until successful in finding en-
| ployment.
They all have families in Algiers and
are anxious that the latter may join
them at Tunis under the Turkish govern
ment. Mohammed Bajik has wife
and father and mother, but no children;
Kada Benois has two wives, but no
children, father and mother; Hamed
Mohammed has wife, two children
and a mother; Amar Mohammed has
wife and three children; Brain Ben
Achmed has two wives and two chill
dren, and Heshmi Ben Achmed has
two wives and three children. The
Commissioners of Emigration will try
to obtain employment for the stran-
gers

An Alligator Whipped by a Cow,

h'~tIlCuS A-Ads4 NSi'toRhtahs
On last: Saturday nan here was
looking fol: some of his hogs that me
had missed for several days, and had
neared the river, when he heard COW
believing, Upon going to the bank of
the river end looking upon the opposite
side he saw, on sandbar, an alligator,
COW and a young calf.
The alligator had the COW and calf
between itself and the river. He made
a dart for She calf, when the COW rushed
between them, and fearful fight en-
sued. While this was raging the cali
got into the woods and faced about,
bleating plaintively. The alligator was
not moro than seven feet long, and
struck at the COW furiously with its tail.
The cow avoided as many of these
blows as possible, but yet received quite
a number, one of which Knocked her
rolling over for about ten feet. The al
ligator rushed upon her with open
mouth, and tried to seize her by the
nose, but she was up in time to catch it
upon the horn under the throat, and
threw it over backward, and before it
could get another lick at her, or defend
itself, she was on it again. Tossing it
high into the air, it fell into the water
with splash, and did not venture TO the
land again. The COW, after rushing
around looking for the enemy, ran to
her calf and made tracks through the
woods for home, looking back occa-
sionally to see if she was pursued.

Was He From Chicago.

A downright vulgar American, says
the London World, is about as vulgar a
man as. you could meet with anywhere.
And perhaps the flower of American
vulgariey is TO be found in the thriving
city of Chicago. The lion of IA "ion-
able dinner table, at which | happened
to be present the other evening. was a
Chicago banker, so enormously rich
that he insight have said with Mr.. An
SON in the "Courtship," Wealth, vol
Ter in it," He carried the outward
signs of il about him in several massive
rings, and, Il watch chain t. hung like
ropes o gold about his walstcoat He
was tall, lean and yellow, and abomina-
bly, overdfessed; but mothers with mar
riageable daughters could not make
enough OF him.
He did hot talk much, and would
have got through dinner well enough
hut fer one unlucky slip into which the
kindness of his hostess betrayed him.
He ate but little, and refused one dish
after another; and the hostess, after
trying iiE vain 10 tempt his appetite,
said she believed she must give him up.
"WaE yes, ma'am, | believe you'd
best" said the banker. You know I'd
trust you with my purse and topceat,
but guess I'll be boss of my own Stun
mick"

to steal Gen. Grants Arabian horses
from Gen Beal'S farm.
AT dance few evenings since, at
the house of man named Wyan twelve
miles south of Vandalia, ILL.,, says dis
patch of Dec 22nd, dispute arose be.
tween Wyant and Steve Bratcher as to
which should be the partner of certain
lady in the next set, when Bratcher drew
pistol and fired at Wyant, the bullet
missing the latter and lodging in the
brain of Young man named Hensley,
killing him almost instantly.
The Italian bark Francisco De Novro,
arrived at New York, Dec Gath. The
captain related the particulars of ter
rible mutiDy that broke out on his ship
on the voyage. Two of the sailors, who
bore bad reputation, organized mu-
tiny and succeeded IN killing two of the
crew and wounding others including the
mate. The captain finally succeeded in
quelling the instruction and killed the
two mutineers, whose bodies were flung
into the sea.

afraigned before the municipal court
Dec. cath on a charge of embezzlement.
He plead guilty and was sentenced to
two years in the house of correction.
The bank officials refuse 10 say how
much money was embezzled, but the
general supposition is that the amount
exceeds one hundred thousand dollars.
Bosse was charged in the indictment
VITA embezZling only few hundred, but
it was known that the amount fixed in

THE excitement caused by the recent
body. snatchipg at Atlanta, Ga, says a
dispatch of Dec. gath, has not abated.

How Nuimegs Grow.



Nutmegs grow on little trees which
look like little pear trees, and are gen
orally not over twenty feet high. The
flowers are very much like the lily of
the valley. They are pale and very
fragrant. The nutmeg is the seed of
the fruit, and mace is the thin covering
over the seed. The fruit is about as
large as peach. When ripe it breaks
open and shows the little nut inside.
The trees grow on the islands of Asia
and in tropical America. They bear
fruit for seventy or eighty years, having
ripe fruit upon them all the seasons. A
fine tree in Jamaica has over 1000
nutmegs on it yearly. The Dltch used
to have all this nutmeg trade, as they
owned the Banda Islands, and conquered
all the other traders, and destroyed the
trees. To keep tt price up, they once
burned three piles of nutmegs, each Of
which was as large as church. Nature
did not sympathize with such meanness.
The nutmeg pigeon, found in all the
Indian islands, did for the world what
the Dutch had determined should not
be done-carried those nuts, which are
their food, into all the surrounding
countries, and trees grew again, and the
world had the benefit.

How Horses Hearts are Broken.
Eureka tNev.) Leader

Noticing an old-time Jehu critically
examining one of the lead horses in
the Phoebe stage last evening, the re-
porter sided up alongside in time to
hear him remark, soto voce: There's
Dick going to the devil just like all the
rest, and he amt been on the road si1
months" An inquiry as the cause o
Dick's-a horse-evil destination, lee
to the Development of some facts in re
gard to stage stock that may be inter
esting to our readers. "You see that
bay leader" said he, that animal was
put on the route six months age, and be
was a good one, full of life and ambi-
ton, and when he first went into harness
it took two good men to hold nm down
before the start and smart driver to
hold him afterward. Now he's as loggy
as dray-horse, and hasn't got spirit en-
ough to hold his head up. They most
all go that wav. Horses are curious
beasts. You can drive 'em twenty
miles day on all sorts of roads and
they will keep fat and die of old age
but put 'em on fifteen-mile run, where
they've got to travel the same route
every day, and they will break then
hearts and die in less than two years
1t works like a treadmill on man
They can't stand the monotony."

Fnsiure Of Mercantile KINGS.

The news of the failure of the house
of GodefIfoy IL Co., of Hamburg, will,
says the: London Pau Nal Gazette, be
received with regret throughout the
South PAeific. This firm has done
more than any other to push trade
among tlte groups of Polynesia. For
years theS were known as the kings of
the Soutl! Pacific, and far away among
the leasts known islands their agents
were to tss found quietly settled among
the natiNes, and engaged in the col
lection of:tortoise shell, cocoanut OIL and
other produce for the periodical visit of
the vessels employed in this trade. At
one time they had, indeed, little short
of a monopoly, but lately, and especial
ly since tue annexation of FIJI, they
have been exposed TO q brisk competl-
ton fronS Australian and New Zealand
| ports. 1.his, together with unfortunate
speculauans ut the time of the imitation
| after hes war, have sufficed to bring
the house down. They certainly held
| their position as merchants in princely
/ fashion, and at the time of their pros
| perity scientific men of the highest
! eminence were employed by them TO
explorethe features of the different
islands with which they traded, and to
gel specimens oftheir famous collection.
Most valuable information concerning
old native nsuges has been obtained in
this wav, and the Godefroy Museum at
Hamburg is rich in all that relates to
the South Seas. Possibly there was
some hope that the German govern
ment, in its anxiety to extend ITS COM
merce, would enable the Godefroys to
tide over the period of difficulty by TAX
ing up some of their liabilities in the
South Pacific. But this had not been
the case, and there can be no doubt
their fall viii go far TO damage the Ger
man business in that region. Should
the failure lead to the sale of the col
lection formed in the course of so many
years, the British Museum ought to be
represented among the buyers. Prob
ably, however, arrangements will be
made to prevent its being dispersed.
