WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-This morn
ing, at 4:30 o'clock, while Mr.. w. G..
McGill, one OF the guards at the Jail,
was passing through the corridor,
something in the appearance of
Guiteau's cell attracted his attention.
Entering the cell, he found the assassin
in possession Of a knife. How he OBJ
tanned it is a mystery. When he de-
manded the knife Guiteau refused to
surrender it. Mr.. McGill drew his pis-
toll, and then an exciting tussle ensued
Guiteau making every exertion to get
the pistol from the guard. He sue
ceeded in the struggle, but Mr.. McGill,
possession of it. In the scuffle that
followed the weapon was discharged,
and the report brought the other guards
to the assistance of MeGill and Guiteau
was finally disarmed. He had sue
ceeded, however, in cutting McGills
clothing pretty badly and came very
near infiicting a dangerous wound.
Guiteau pret anded TO be crazy and COM
planned that his pistol had been taken
from him. All the facts indicate that
Guiteau was meditating to escape and
that he had formed some desperate
plan. His assumption of insanity is
believed to be dodge, as he has acted
perfectly sane all along.

depredationS fill the air, but must be
taken with considerable allowance.
There is nothing definite since the
killing on the San Mateo Mountains.
except that on the 18th some thirty
Indians attacked train in the charge
of Dionicio Baca, hauling a cargo of
$1,000 worth of goods from Las Lunas
to Round Valley, capturing and burn
ing the wagons and goods and killing
one teamster, about forty miles from
Las Iunas. The rest of the teamsters
e,caped and reached the town of Las
Lunas last evening. This is the home
of the Hon. Trauquetina Luna, the
delegate to Congress from New Mexico,
who Immediately called for volunteers
and left at l o'clock this morning in
command of forty armed and mounted
men to pursue and overtake these
Indians, and to protect the settlements
and sheep herds in the western portion
ofNallencia county. Should he man.
age to overtake the Indians a good
fight will surely follow, as Delegate
Luna, although young man, has seen
considerable Indian fighting during the
past ten years anu II piuChg anu 0-N-
perienced. Gen. Hatch has ordered
two more companies of the 9th Cavalry
from Fort Lewis, Col, to Fort Craig,
and has now given orders to send these
companies after the Indians, two of
which are on the trail of the main
band. which is commanded by Mana.
Gen. Hatch is ut Fort Craig, and was
to have taken the field this afternoon.
The Navaioes are reported quiet at
present, as it IS reliably reported that
the Secretary of the In erior has prom
ised them by telegraph that Eastman
whom they threaten to kill, would be
removed and an another agent appoint

White Oak Vessels for Butter

The best package for keeping butter
through the summer is a white oak
pail, vanished on the outside and
made with a ght fitting cover, or for
larger quantities white oak firkin
should be used. To keep well the but
ter should be perfectly well made,
sailed with an ounce and quarter of
the best dairy salt to the pound, and
packed while fresh and sweet in clean
pals or tubs. The pals should be thor
oughly scalded and then soaked in clean
brine before being used and then dust
ed with dry salt on the wet sides before
the butter is put in. The butter should
be packed solid without any air spaces,
and if the tub is not filled at once, the
butter should be covered with little
clear brine until the next packing is put
in. When the tub is filled to within a
quarter of an inch of the top piece of
clean muslin dipped in brine should be
placed over it and pressed down; dry
salt is then laid on to level with the
edge of the pail, and the cover is press
ed down and fastened The package is
then kept in a cool, sweet cellar.
