The Apaches.

SAN FRANo1sco, Dec. "a dispatch
from Tombstone, Arizona, says the
Apaches who escaped from San Carr
los assert that their people, when in
Mexico, made propositions to Gen.
Terrozas. which he forwarded to the
general government of the City of
Mexico. First, they asked for peace.
Second, for land enough to live on.
They do not wish TO live under the
American Government, and therefore
wish to make peace with the Govern
ments of Sonora and Chicuahua.
Gen. TeTOzas told them they would
not be permitted, under any circum-
stances, to raid upon the people of
Arizona; that they would have to live
IN peace, and in no event would they
be allowed to leave their reservation.
indians are living among the people
peacefully and Mexicans visit their
camps daily. Gen. Terrozas has 400
government guards ready to be called
out at moments warning.

Pluck VS.. Luck.

In an address delivered before the
students Of the Spencerian Business Col
lege, Washington, D. c., June %, 1869,
among other things, General James A.
Garfield said
Now young gentlemen, let me for
moment address, you touching your
success In life; and I hope the very
brevlty of my remarks will increase the
chance of their making a Judgement in
your minds. Let me beg you, in the
outset OF your career, to dismiss from
your minds all ideas of succeeding by
luck. There is no more common thought
among young people than that foolish
one. that by-and-by something will turn
up by which they will suddenly achieve
fame or fortune. No, young gentlemen,
things don't turn up in this world unless
somebody turns them up. Inertia is one
Of the indispensable laws of matter, and
things lie flat where they are until by
some Intelligent Cfor nothing but spirit
makes motion in this world they are en-
dowed with activity and life. Do not
dream that some good luck is going to
happen to you and give you d fortune.
Luck IS an ignis fdtuuS-you may follow
It to ruin, but not to success. The great
Napoleon, who believed in his destiny,
followed it until he saw his star go down
III blackest night, when the Old Guard
persisted around him, and Waterloo was
lost. 4 pound of pluck is worth ton
of luck.
Young men talk of trusting to the
spur of the occasion. That trust is vain.
Occasions cannot make spurs, young
gentlemen. If you expect to wear spurs
yoU must win them. If you wish to Use
them you must buckle them to your OWL
heels before you go into the fight. Any
success you may achieve is not worth
the having unless you fight for it.
Whatever you win in life you must con-
GHer by your own efforts, and then it is
yours-a part of yourself"
