opinion at this point upon the question
whether the hard part of the oyster

paste having been prepared, the dish
which should be an earthen one and
rather deep--is lined with the paste on
the sides, the cook being careful not to
put any paste on the bottom. Into this
the oysters are poured, and on top Of
them, in pieces about the size of fl
berts, parsley butter, made by mixing
very finely cut parsley with fresh but
ter and adding thereto small pinch Of
mace. should be put. The whole thing
is covered with the paste for the crust,
rolled thin, and holes are cut to let the
steam out. The amount Of the butter
is one tablespoonful to quart of oys-
tiers. The pie is then ready for baking
which should be done in moderately
quick oven and should not last over
forty minutes.

The emigration reports show some
curious facts. 1t is rather surprising
that out of the half million strangers
that came to our shores last year only
forty-six were lawyers. Clergymen are
rather more numerous, and during the
year 800 arrived, seventy of them from
England, and the same number from
Ireland. OF musicians there were 399
and strange to say, only forty.two OF
them came from Italy; but whether
the bureau classed hand organs under
the head of musical instruments is not
known. There were 2l1 teachers, fifty
nine sculptors, seven reporters, 159
artists, thirty-two editors, twenty-five
dentists, thirty-nine architects, and one
chiropodist. From the large number
of bakers on the list it is presumed that
they must have heard of the magnifi-
cent wheat fields OF Dakota and other
places, and longed to lend hand in
turning the golden grain into bread.
There were landed 1877 bakers during
the year, and of this number 734 came
from Germany. There were 1888
butchers, 1874 cabinet makers, 2,033
masons, 2,134 tailors, 1,474 weavers s.
9SS miners, and l05,012 laborers.

THE ARIZONA INDIAN TROUBjpS
General sherfdan's Dispatch 10 =.
War Department Concerning the ".
cent Outbreak

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. l8,
telegram received at the War Denart
ment from Gen. Sheridan, dated Chic
go, Sept. 10, has been referred to tho
Indian Bureau. In it Sheridan saws.
''The Indian troubles in Arizona sro
confined to the White Mountain Ites
and there is as yet no reason to believe
that it will spread. Bradley has pono
towards Fort Apache with two COM
panies of cavalry and three of infantry
and will be soon joined by McKenze
with six companies of the Fourth REQ.
ment. Additional companies of infan.
try are being collected at Wingate. and
the nine companies of infantry At
Uncompahgre will be sent there #
necessary. 1t IS thought best to hold
them in the Ute country {. little longer
although the CITES seem to be going ia
the new place all right. General Pone
has been of the opinion that ne cor.
trolls sufficient troops to protect New
Mexico and help General Wilcox. 1T
get the slightest inform alton that win
lead me to believe that the trouble viii
spread, l will send the whole of the
Third cavalry and one regiment Of in.
fantry from the department of the
Platte, one from Texas and one from
Dakota, and one more can be pushed
out from the department of Missouri
We cannot prudently spare these
forces, but will take the chances. as
cold weather is coming on and the In.
dams will keep quiet in the north"
Another dispatch, dated September
II, from General sheridan, is as fol.
lows: General Pope telegraphs me last
night that advices from Wilcox are to
the effect that there was no connected
attack of Indians on Fort Apache; that
what occurred was a mere temporary
outbreak, occasioned by the arrest OF
medicine man, and the unexpected
firing of General Cars scouts, which
killed Hentig and six men. There
have been no depredations since the
firing on the burying party, the day
after it was officially reported Gen.
Pope expresses some doubts as to
whether the Indians will fire on the
troops now advancing Oh them from
every direction"
Secretary Kirkwood has requested
Gen. Sheridan, through the war de-
partment, that if movement Of troops
becomes necessary to leave the troops
now guarding the Ute Indians until
the last that are sent away. The In.
dian bureau regards the outbreak at
Fort Apache as temporary, and thinks
the trouble is now all over.

From the Capital.

GOVERNOR SHELDON, of New Mexico
in letter to Secretary kirkwood, writes
that the Indian troubles have been great
ly exaggerated. As matter of precau-
ton, however, Sheldon urges that arms be
sent ont to arm companies of citizens that
have been formed lest the Indians that
have been fighting might seek to join
with the Mana in his raids.
THE annual report of the commissioner
of patents is quite well advanced. 1t will
show that there was an increase in the
number of patents issued during the fiscal
year Just closed, and corresponding in

recommend an increase of clerical force
and a number of changes with reference
to the apportionment of the work.
SERGEANT MASON, who fired at Guteau.
is still under guard at the arsenal. No
official notice of his offense has reached
the war department, but he will be
promptly surrendered if a demand be
made by the civil authorities; otherwise,
he will be tried by court-martial. Gen
eral Sherman was interviewed at New
York in regard to the matter, and said he
would have the affair sifted to the bottom,

A Mountain Steamer.
Scientific American.

Steam navigation among the noun
tain ranges of Colorado is one of the
peculiarities of that wonderful region.
A Denver paper says "a sail over the
placid and translucent water of Twin
Lakes will convince the traveller that
Colorado affords some of the most
beautiful aquatic scenery in nature.
Twin Lakes are located three miles
from Twin Lake Station, Denver and
South Park Division of the Union Pa
cific Railway, or 157 miles southwest of
Denver, at the eastern base of the
Sawache range, at an elevation offs, 1888
feet above the level of the sea.
''The lower lake covers ! ,525 and the
upper AS acres, and they are united
by a small, swift, clear stream, about
half a mile in length, which winds
through grassy meadows, studded with
scattering shade trees, affording delight

north stands Mount Ebert, altitude
II, $50 feet above the sea, or 5,027 feet
above the lakes. Directly opposite lat
the south side ofthe lakes are the

Iowa and Wisconsin have domoustrat-
ed the fallacy of placing too much
faith upon their good conduct, In the
Iowa case man got out of his coffin
during the progress of the funeral, and
said further proceedings would be dis

to turn the meeting into a dance he
objected. He said he wasn't going to
have his funeral marred 10y any such
unseemly levity, and if anybody
showed disrespect for the remains, the
remains would punch his head. That
stopped the dance. In the Wisconsin
case the clergyman had just finished
his sermon, when the corpse sat up
and demanded glass of beer. OF

now there is lawsuit, as the corpse
refuses to pay the clergyman any fee,

SHOES ought TO be cheaper after this,
FOR the patent on the Mickey wax
thread sewing machines has expired.
1t is thought that the royalties on this
machine amounted to 3 100000 a year
in this country. One manufacturer,
Joseph Davis, paid as high as $50 900
per annum to the patentee. The basis
of the machine was an invention by
Lyman II. Blake, of Abingdon, Mass
who in 1858 patented an arm working
inside the shoe, and sewing directly
through the upper aud both soles with
out the use of welt. Mr.. Gordon
Mckay bought this invention for
$4,000 and the Matthias patent,
for channeling n shoe for
$1,000, Then, in 1861, Blake plac
ed an alcohol lamp in the arm or
"horn," which kept the wax thread
warm and made the machine capable
of doing the finest sewing. The main
patent was what was called Il process
and product patent, under which it
was successfully claimed that no other
machine could be put on the market
to do the same work. One of the first
lot of machines was bought by f. C.
Burt and George Silver, of New York,
but gradually other large manufac-
turers came in until it is estimated
that there are now 1880 machines in
use, which do the bulk OF the machine
shoe sewing Of the country.

Bands of music are forbidden to play
on most of the large bridges of the
world. A constant succession of sound
waves, especially such AS come from
the playing Of good band, will excite
wires to vibration. At first the vibra-
tons are very slight, but they will IN
crease as the sound waves continue to
come. The principal reason why bands
are not allowed 10 play while crossing
certain bridges-Suspension bridge at
Niagara, for examples, that if it is
followed by professions OF any KIND,
they will keep step with the music, and
this regular step would cause the wires
to vibrate.
