The entire country was greatly excit-
ed over the report, current for two entire
days, and apparently well authenticated, that
Gen. Carr and some half-dozen officers and
about one hundred men of his command at
Fort Apache, Arizona, had been massacred
in fight with the White Mountain Apaches,
under Chief Pedro. The affair turns out to
be much less disastrous than at first re-
ported, but bad enough as it is. 1t seems,
from Gen. Carr's own official re-
port, that on the Goth ult. he
went out from the Fort with six officers,
seventy-nine soldiers and twenty three
Indian SCOUTS, to arrest an Apache medi-
cine man, who had been using his influence
to get up an insurrection. He arrived at
Cibicu Creek, forty-five miles west of the
Fort, where about 600 Indians were en-
canped, and made the arrest without oppo-
sition. The command then went into camp
few miles distant, where they were short
ly afterward visited by some scouts from the
Indian camp, evidently for no good purpose.
Capt. Hentig ordered them to leave. While
doing so the indians turned and fired, kill.
ing Capt. Hentig instantly. The fight then
became general. The troops formed in
skirnsh line, driving the Indians back some
distance. The fight began at 4 o'clock
and lasted nearly three hours. un-
til darkness, when the Indians drew
Off toward their own camp. Be-
side Capt. Hentig, seven men were killed
and several wounded. Gen. Carr, not being
satisfied that he could hold his position,
then started on a forced march to the Fort.
where he arrived in safety with his COM
mand. Subsequently the hostiles ap-
preached the Fort and fired into party
burying the dead, driving them into the in
closure, and then fired into the post from
the bluffs. Couriers were sent out to Fort
Thomas for reinforcements, which were
promptly dispatched. The hostiles are
swarming about the Fort and committing
general depredations.

Hon. TRANQUIL1TA LUNA, New Mex

HON. TRANQUILITA LUNA, New Mex
ico's delegate to Congress, arrived in Santa
Fe on the I'd, from two weeks campaign
after hostile Indians. From him it is learned
that Nana's raid was more disastrous than
at first reported. Fifty-six miles from Ma
vajo Springs he found fifteen dead bodies on
the roadside, and ascertained that the In
dians had captured and taken with them
two Mexican women, one American girl and
five boys. Mr.. Luna, with thirty-fve men,
followed the band till his rations gave out,
and protected settlements from their raid.
Tiffany, Indian Agent at San Carlos, reports
that Indian runners have come in from
White Mountains with rumors of fighting
near Fort Apache. One Lieutenant and a
number of soldiers are reported to be killed
in the fight on Zebisque Creek.

FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
etc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving letter from one of the B. 4 0.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. f.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to J. T. Lane,
Wheeling, W. Va, to J. A. Webb, Eos.

tlemen will lead to thorough informa-
tion as to all necessary details Of time
connections, fares, baggage, etc.. etc.

Skipping the Hard Places.

Boys, want to ask you how you
think a conqueror made out who went
the country he was trying to
subdue and whenever he found fort
hard 10 take, left it alone. Don't you
think the enemy would buzz wild there,
like bees in hive, and when be was we'll
into the heart Of the country don't you
think they would swarm out and harrass
him terribly9
Just so, l want you to remember, will
it be with you, if you skip over the hard
places in your lessons and leave them
unlearned; you have left an enemy in
the rear that will harrass you and NOR
tify you times without number.

1t is sad to think In how few breasts
is implanted love Of nature and its
most remarkable works Little Johnny
Cudlip caught large and singularly
beautiful specimen of the beetle tribe
the other day, and being unwilling to
part from his capture for single mo-
ment, smuggled it along to church in
the pocket of his roundabout. As there
was no one in the pew Immediately in
front when the service began, Johnny
leaned over and deposited the bug on
its cushion as favorable for air and ex-
ercise. Johnny was one of those pious
small boys who can always be trusted
not to fidget and make noise in church,
from the reason that they sleep peace
fully through the entire service. Just
after Johnny had been dreaming Of red
and green beetles six feet long, young
man and bis. 'steady company" we're
shown into the pew in front, and the
young lady sat right down on the insect
aforesaid.
The minister had hardly gotten to

very thinly attired, it being terribly hot
weather, began to blush and glance
nervously at her escort. Then she
whispered:
"Don't, Bartholomew"
The young man thought she meant to
stop tanning, SO he did, and laid the fan
on the seat.
The young lady suddenly began to
blush redder than ever.
"Somebody will see you, Bartholo-
new"
"Wel wot of itf" murmured the
young man, in surprised tone.
"'rhat's what I'm here for.''
"But it won't dot" she whispered ten,
derly behind her prayer book.

attempting. To the Conkling Republi-

he had made promises in direct conflict,
the one with the other. The two hor-

1% People sometimes wonder why
such hubbub should be caused by an
appointment to the collectorship OF GUS
toms at New York The matter becomes
plain enough when il is stated that the
Office pays the incumbent about SIT ,0OO
. year, and carries with it 953 appoint
ments to subordinate pos tions worth in
the aggregate sl,400,0OO year. ln
addition to this, it is generally under
stood that the Collector has power, when
ever he chooses 10 exercise it, to exert
decisive influence on nominations in the
State. "A man like Mr.. Conkling, with
the custom house on his side, is invinci-
BILE in New York; when the custom
house is against him, he has to struggle

D@lt is now demonstrated that the

putting it at this figure the people have
Senator John Sherman and r. B. Hayes

and n,ndescript Hayes may be passed
by, but Sherman, the blunderer, remains.
He opposed the four per cent. bond and
spent millions through syndicate need

too high rate ofinterest. There exists
not now reason under the sun why
this country should pay higher rate OF
interest than Great Britain pays.

THE CENTRE OF POPULATION.
How the March of Empire Takes
Its Course Westward.


The Census bureau has just issued q
bulletin, which shows the position Of the
centre OF population of the United
States Of June l, 1880. which was lati
tude 39e CA minutes, 08 seconds, longi
tude 80 80 minutes, 40 seconds. The
position OF the old observatory, Mount
Adams. Cincinnati, approaches nearest
to this point, and the centre of popula-
tion is 2 6 miles south OF this observa-
tory and SO miles west OF it, This
places it in Kentucky, one mile from the
bank of the Ohio river, and one and one
half miles southeast OF the village Of
Taylorsville. The bulletin is accompa
MED by two maps, one sketch showing
the exact location of this new centre,
and the other showing it's position at
the close of each decade from 1880 to
date. The former year it was east of
Baltimore, bordering on Chesapeake
bay, short distance from the mouth OF
the Susquehanna river. From this time
onward it passed westward, making the
greatest stride in the decaded succeed
ing 1850.
