HAPPILY UNITED. MARRIAGE
OF MIR. O. J. WOODARD
AND MISS 10 MILES.

Last Wednesday evening, at the
residence OF the brides parents, at
this Agency, Miss Josephine Miles
and Mr.. o. J. Woodard were united
in marriage, by Rev. E. G.. Taber.
The bride and groom were attended
by Agent and Mrs. Miles, as
groomsman and bridesmaid. The
ceremony was commendable for its
simplicity and brevity.
The bride was richly dressed in
bronze surah silk, trimmed with
iridescent bead passementrie. gloves.
slippers and silk stockings to match,
with no jewelry except a pair of
heavy gold bracelets. The groom
was dressed in the conventional
black, with white nccktie.
After congratulating Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodard, the numerous guests made
themselves comfortable about the
several rooms prepared for the occa-
sion, and a general social bcftting
the time and place was the order.
Soon a splendid supper, rich in all
the luXuries prOcurable, was served,
and in eating, drinking and social
enjoyment the evening passed pleas
antly away. Although Agent Miles
residence was crowded with the in
innate friends Of both bride and
groom, yet there were many who
could not possibly be present.
This marriage was the social event
Of the year. Both contracting par
ties stand high socially, and begin
life together with happicst prospects.
That their lives may be successful
is the sincere wish Of all.

HIGHLY COMPLIMENTARY.

\ gentleman visiting at the upper
mission hands us the following:
We had the pleasure of visiting
the Cheyenne School on Thanksgiy-
ING, and know of no better way Of
expressing our very agreeable sur
prise than through the TRANSPORT
Err. Having never before seen an
Indian school we very naturally
compared it with a white school and
with shame for our race we must
confess that the comparison sooR
became a contrast greatly in favor
of the red men.
The scholars looked very hand
some in their bright clean uniforms
and as they marched into the chap
el, keeping step with the music of
the organ, drum and triangle, and
took their places with the accuracy
Of military movements, without a
trip, pinch or push from a single
boy, we felt that at last We had
found model school
The scholars all listened with
bowed heads to the prayer; and du-
ring the sermon, preached in their
mother tongue by Rev Pendlcton,
not a whisper was heard nor a dis
orderly movcmont made. After the
services they were treated to an ex-
cellent Thanksgiving dinner, and
the zest with which they fell to and
partook would almost put to shame
the much abused white boy Of
America. y
After dinner the children were
dismissed for a two days vacation.
and as each little fellow went trip
ping joyfuIly home to his wigwam,
we felt that he surely must be
thankful for such energetic skilled
and loving instructors and suporin.

had wretchedly failed in an effort to found
cannon there; but we mean no wretched pun
when we write that John Wesley founded a big
church in their deserted manufactory Of big
guns. There was q great explosion one day
and the Governments project of making cannon
was blown into tho atr Wesley got possession
of the old walls, and they had resounded with
prayer and praise for more than a generation
before the present chapel was projected. And
these forty years embraced Wesley's most
vigorous manhood and most heroic achieve
ments. He had won a. large place for his united
societies when, after opening several other
"preaching Places" he solemnly dedicated this
chapel to divine worship. He still regarded
himself as presbyter of the Church of Eng
land, but he felt himself to be as good bishop
as the sleekest of the anointed, and as compe-
tent to make other men bishops. The memory
OF the old " Foundry recalls to the minds of the
Methodist delegates, as no china kettle or di-
lapidated chair can do, the struggle through
which John Wesley founded a religious nation

and quietly as If he were in his own bed.
He is very weak, but the higher pulse Of
yesterday need not be taken as proof of in
creasing weakness. The doctors ascribe it to
the intense and exceptional heat of the day.
While the President gained no ground, he
seems to have firmly held that which he had,
and that is doing much with the Washington
Flats, and the heat against him. At the same
time, the inevitable anxiety of the country

General Hancock was happily right when he
doubted the correctness of the report that
General Carr and almost all of his command
had been killed by the Apaches. The whole
story of the fight reaches us for the
first time this morning, and shows that
the loss of the troops probably does not
exceed dozen men, Captain Hentig
being the only officer named. General
Carr's command exhibited all the resources
under sudden and treacherous attack for which
General Hancock, in Sundays TRIBUNE, gave
them credit, and which caused him to
believe that they could not have been
exterminated even by much larger number
OF Ap&ches. 1t appears that the command,
consisting of 105 men and six scouts,
left Fort Apache August 90 to arrest the
Apache medicine-man of whom much
has been heard in this matter. The tribe were
found at Cibcu Creek, about forty-five miles
from Fort Apache encampcd to the number of
600, and the arrest of the medicine man" was
accomplished without difficulty. The trouble did
not begin until after the troops had en-
camped some miles away, when the Indians
began to gather about in suspicious numbers.
Some scouts, evidently hostiles, came into the
camp and were ordered to leave by Captain
Hentig, whereupOn one of them shot him dead.
three hours battle followed, the troops show
ing great judgment as well as bravery. Seven
soldiers were killed and one wounded man
died the next day. During the night there
was rapid retreat, the camp being left
standing to deceive the Indians, and
the 31st the command reached Fort Apache
in safety, which at last accounts they
still held. This is joyful news 1t
not only makes sure that General Carr and
the other gallant officers who were supposed to
have been killed have been spared, but it
seems to lessen the danger of a general war.
1t ought not to be overlooked, also, that the
report that friendly scouts turned traitors finds
no confirmation.

thwart the known wishes of an Executive
chosen and beloved by the people. The SEM
blance Of responsibility, without full freedom
In the exercise OF power, would be burden
which no man would willingly assume. Nor
would any Vice-President like to be prejudged
on account of such temporary discharge of
duty, If afterward called to the Presidency.
The further the discussion goes, the more
clear it seems that the trainers of the Govern
ment never intended that the executive re-
sp0nsibiity should be shifted about for any
mere temporary cause. Senator Robeson's able
argument to show that nobody except the
Fice-President himself can possibly decide
when it is his duty to assume executive re-
sponsibilities goes far to prove that he can
never do constitutionally while a President
Is living and has reason. For the Constitution
cannot confer upon one officer power to
seize an Office, at his discretion, which
another officer, at his sole discretion,
has absolute power to retain. 1t is
an assumption for which no warrant appears
In the Constitution that President cannot
perform through others all the duties which
the Office involves Nnety-nne hundredths of
them he usually performs through agents, and
the Constitution makes no distinction, as to
his personal agency, between these and other
duties which it declares that the President
shall perform. Nor is it a reasonable inter
probation of the Constitution to say that it ex-
poets the President to know every instant, or
every day or week, in what manner duties
lntrusted to every agent are per-
formed. If he is asleep, or absent on
journey, or sick, it is reasonable to
assume that executive duties are performed as
he has directed by his agents, and that, if
they err, he will set things right soon enough.
In short, less violence seems to us to be done
to common sense and the Constitution by in
terpreting inability" to mean a permanent
loss of power, than by supposing that Vice
President can at his own discretion assume
the duties of the Presidency while Presi-
dent is alive and wishes to perform them
