There Is a gentleman In San
Francisco who evidently known
less about the character of the
Apache than any other man on
this continent. His name is
Blake, and he is a chaplain 10
the United States Army. He
delivered a lecture a few Sundays
ago in the First Congregational
Church, in San Francisco, from
which we beg leave to make q
few extracts. Be it known to all
men that we have not so far lost
our senses as to endorse much of
it; but we publish it simply to
show what the pulpit, one Of the
strongest agents for veal or woe,
is doing to frame public opinion
on this subject. With few more
such idiots in the church, whose
position and calling naturally
adds force 10 their words, we
may as we'll make up our minds
to be massacred or incur the
everlasting condemnation of the
church for instituting defensive
measures.
If any one is to be blamed it is
you and 1, the sovereign people
of these United States. God
requires us 10 act justly and TO
love mercy. The present outlook
of the Indian question is exceed
ingly interesting. The Mormon
question is late one, hardly
more than a generation old; the
Indian question is more than 250
years old, and our father could
not solve it, though they did the
best they could. We send the
Gospel to China, India, Africa,
Turkey and Japan, but what are
we doing with the Indians? The
Greek, the Italian, the Hebrew
and the African of the early days
of the church was not equal, it
seems to me, to the Indian, as he
might be al his best estate if
converted to Christ. Under Mr..
Riggs, some noble specimens of
Christian life have been develop
ed. Arizona has suffered much;
it is suffering greatly to-day.
Mining interests Of great value
have been developed there, yet
| don't know of any systematic
effort being carried out to promote
the highest good Of the Indian {.
We have fed him; we have eX-
pended money largely for the
!enefit and protection of the set
dement's of that county, but the
great keynote has not been
struck. We have not yetreached,
1t seems to me, the cure for the
evil. The school at hampton,
which is doing wonderfully well,
shows that may be accomplished.
so does the exhibition in Boston,
now going on, show that Indians
have done some extraordinary
work, Including shOemaking.
The Indian is a genius; he has
skill and he possesses a capacity
for almost wonderful devel-

WILCOX, oct. lZth.-RepOrtS
from Bernard, dated Guadalupe
Cafion, October 9th, says: The In
diand urail leads into the Guada-
lupe mountains. The Indians
were facilitated in escaping by the
extra stock which they had with
them. Bernard must have been
across the Mexican border in pur'
suit of the hOetiles. A great

down owing to the long and con-
tinuous march, the troops being
for thirty'six hours without food.
Col. Sanford will place his COM
mand near the Mexican border,
and will try to ascertain, with
the cooperation of the Mexican
authorities, where the hOstiles
now are, proceed against them.
Supplies are to be sent to the
troops at Carrisillo Springs, N. NJ.

ARIZONA SENTINEL .
SATURDAY., OCFOBER15. 1881.

The San Francisco Chronicle
tells an interesting story, edit0ri-
ally, of the arrest aud acquittal Of
a peripatetic vendor in Warwick.
The man was arrested on 4
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses, in that, calling
his medicine by an Orlental title,
it was in reality made of purely
domestic, herbs. The acquittal
was based upon the ground that
the medicine was patented. The
government knew. what the stuff
was made of, and gave its official
recognition by allowing the man
ufacturer to use government
stamps. Upon this same erinci-
pie Arizona permits her people TO
rob each other in broad daylight.
The government licenses gam
bling, and licensed gambling
establishment means little else
than legalized. robbery. There is
hardly a town along the line of
the Southern Pacific Railroad,
through this Territory, that has
not its crew of top-and-bottOm oi
three card monte SharpS. These
people do not pretend to be COM
mon gamblers-that is, men who
risk their money on a supposabfe
even chance. They are nothing
more or less than thieves, who
acknowledge that they are in
search of only the unwary and
eontiding. Their calling is, how
ever, only one remove from this
So called legitimate gambling,
and it is indeed hard to find the
dividing line between them. So
long as the government fosters
one kind the people are unable TO
cope with the other. 1t seems to
US that this Territory has got far
enough along in its march of CIV
iliZatiOn to be able and willing TO
do away,with licensed gambling.
That trite saying, than which
there is nothing more untrue,
that where there is gambling
money is sure to be plenty, has
played havoc before now with
the prospects of many fourishing
communities. 1t is true that
gamblers seek those places where
money is plenty; but they under
no circumstances attract either
people or money that will benefit
community. Yuma is now the
terminus of two divisions of the
S. PR. R., and the head Office
of the G. s. n. Co. She hupes
soon to be the terminus of The
Port Ysabel Railroad. Emigrant
passengers from both east and
west are held here daily, awaiting
the departure of ttains. These
passengers are excellent subject
for confidence" sharpers, and
soon Yuma will gain the uuenvi-
able, reputation of being an un-
safe place for travellers; in fact, d
place to get or stay away from.
This state of society into which
we are drifting will not wear
away of itself, but the causes
must be eradicated. The railroad
company owes it to the commu-
mites through which they pass
and to their patrons, to make an
effort TO stop such trafic. Part 81
this tide of emigration setting
across the country, Yuma want'
TO invite to stop here, to visit Oul
mines, to test our delightful WIN
ter climate, and to engage in
commerce or manufacture. Blu
in order to do so she must have
her skirts clear of these licensed
aud unlicensed social pests.

Henry CLAWS COURTESY,

think never saw u more perfect
gentleman than Henry Clay. He was
always considerable of the feelings of
his brother man, and even when sOrely
tried never said or did anything which
could possibly offend the lowliest of
them. l recall IN instance of this.
There lived here in former years
man named Garbard, who, though q
rough fellow, was an ardent admirer Of
Mr.. Clay and n personal acquaintance.
During one OF MIR. Clay 5 visits Gar
bard came up TO the Springs, arriving
at might in sal condition Of intOxica-
ton. He wanted to know where Mr..
Clay was, and insisted upon seeing
him. With some difficulty we persuad-
ed him that he must wait until morn
ing, and he finally said: "Well, just
let me see his foot tracks; that will do
me tonight"
The next morning started with 0
friend to Mr.. Clay's house, and found
him surrOu nded with distinguished
gentlemen, both of this country and
abroad. There were Senators and
Judges and foreign Ambas sailors pres
ent, all engaged in discussing. | be-
lieve. some intricate question of for
eign policy. The gentlemen present
would throw out some problem or 9TH

seated ut the end of the room furthest
from the door when who should come
marching into the room but MIR. Gar
bard. He had with him, too, an Ital-
ian dwarf, in fantastic dress, with bells
on his hat, who was ventrilOquist and
mountebank generally. Of course
the appearance Of such couple in
such an assemblago created no little
cOmmOtiOn.
Garbard pulled his hat of. and

said: Good morning. Mr.. Clay"

Everybody else in the room was
abashed ut the mans forward manner,
but Mi. Clay arose ana stepped forward
as though he was interested in the ex-
IRENE.
Then the fellow began his imita-
tons, could not stand it, and went
out of the room, rs did many others.
Finally, Mr.. Clay went up to the fei-
low, and, taking q IS bill from his
pocket, said:

you must be extremely fatigued from
your exercises, and trust you will not
attempt anything further" and the man
went of.

Kissing Fair.

II any had supposed it would turn out
the way it did, the scheme would not
have been adopted, but the object was
q charitable one, and the Committee
on Invitation were very careful to avoid
the presence of any disagrceablc or
unpopular person. The following price
list was finally adopted. For one gO-as.

Scenery in Central France.

The sides of the Puy are covered
with great variety OF wild flowers,
yellow fOxglOves, the large yellow gem
tian, deliciOusly fragrant fringcd dian
thus of all shades from the most deli
cate rOse-pink to the deepest rose col
or, everywhere the air being sweet with
them; then there are great varieties of
exquisite little heaths aud campanulas,
and lovely little dcep-orange potentil-
las and hawk-weeds. Nothing is more
delightful than to stand before one of
the sharp ridges of the Puy, rising
boldly against the deep blue sky, and
from lofty summit TO base you see
fringcs of exquisite flowers, their fra
gihty and brightness contrasting strik-
ingly with the rugged somberncss and
severity OF the mountain. All around
us lie masses of scorr, reminding us
that we are among the great extinct
volcanoes of Central France, Looking
down on the line of the DOmes below
we see clearly enough the shape of the
original cratcrs, that of the Puy dc Pa

acked on a breezy hillside and break

time. party after party of tourists kept
arriving, and the broad summit soon
wore the aspect of vast picnic. The.
atmosphere was tran sparcnt enough
for us to make out the different fea-
lures of the wonderful panorama
around us-the vast range of the
Bones, the Mont Dorc and the Pic dc
Sancy towering above the rest; south

ward the Jnra range; westward Clcr-
mont, with its environment of vine-clad
hills and villages dotted here and
there; further westward still, the plain
of Limague. My companion told me
that, when on this spot a few years
back he found among the Roman ruins

Sam Johnsing's Tricks.

Sam Johnsing is pretty sharp at

Austin justice the other day on the
charge of stealing silver watch. q

Loafng.

Does the young man who persists in
being loafer ever reflect how much
less it would cost to be decent, re-
spectacle man? Does he imagine that
lOafcrism is more economical than gen.
tility? Anybody can be gentleman,
if he chooses TO be, without much cost.
but it is mighty expensive being a
lOafer. 1t costs time, in the first place,
days, weeks and months of it; in fact,
about all the time he has, for no man
can be u iirst-class lOafer without de-
voting his whole time to il. The Occu-
patton, well followed, hardly affords
time for ealing, sleeping, dri--, we
had almost said drinking. but on re-
Election we will except that. The loaf
or finds time TO drink whenever invited,
at the cost of friends. Once fully en-
barked on the sea of loaferdom, and
you bid farewell to every friendly sail
that sails under an honest and legiti-
mate flag. Your consorts will only be
the buccaneers of society. 1t costs
money, for, though the loafer may not
earn q cent or have one for months,
the time lost might have procured him
much money, if devoted to industry
instead of slOth. 1t costs health, vigor,
comfort, all the true pleasures of living.
honor, dignity, self-respect. and the
respect of the world when living, and,
finally, all right of consideration when
dead. BE gentleman, then; it is far
cheaper.

Poison of Tobacco.

A rather unusual case of poisoning
by nicotine has occurred lately in Paris
suburb. Tho victim a man in the
prime of life, had been cleaning his
pipe with clasp knife; with this he &C
cidentally cut one of his fingers subse-
sequcntly, but rs the wound was of triv-
ial nature he paid no heed to it. Five
or six hours later. however, the cut
finger grew painful and became much
swollen; the inflammation rapidly
spread to the arm and shoulder, the
patient suffering such intense pain that
he was obliged to betake himself to
bed. Medical assistance was called,
and ordinary remedies proved ineffect-
ual. The sick man, questioned rs to
the manner in which lie cut himself. lex
planned the use to which the pocket
knife had been applied, adding that he
had omitted 10 wipe it after cleaning
the pipe. The case was now under
stood, and the patients state becoming
alarming, he was conveyed to the hos
pital. There the doctors decided am
putation of the arm TO be the only hope
of saving the patients life, and this
was i'm mediaiely done. His life was
barely saved. No wonder smokers so
often have sore and poisoned mouths,
cancer of the lips, and like troubles.

he supposed they would, for the tree
