The real, old fashioned Yankee is still
q fixture among us, though some writers
would make us believe that he has been
dead for years. There was genuine
specimen in the Erie depot yesterday,
and was explaining to several Interested
parties:
Father-in-law lives here in Jersey
City, and I'm on visit like. Thought
I'd bring along few traps and things
and git up q dicker or two. Any Of
you like to invest in that?" -ss
He put out the model of rat trap
and said:
This trap not only catches the var
minis, but it chokes 'em to death,
throws the body out of that back win
dow and then resets itself. In the top
is an alarm, to go off at any hour you
want and wake up the family. Here's
an apparatus on this side for grating
horse radish, and on the other is mill
for grindin' spices. Any of you like to
buy county rights?"
No one did, and he then placed be-
fore them vessel, about which he ex-
planned:
This is now a water pail. By plac-
ing this iron cover on the bottom it be-
comes kettle. By inverting the cover
you have spider. The pail is half
bushel measure to grain. Once
around it is exactly yard. Its weight
is exactly two pounds. and I sell county
rights for $50 EACH"
The next was q boot-jack, which
could be transformed into e-tonqs,
press board, stove handle, nail hammer
and several other things. He had an
augur which bored four holes at once. .
gimlet which bored square hole, .
washin& machine which could also be
made to serve as q tea table, and one
or two other things, and as be reached
the last he said:
"Gentlemen, am full Of specula-
tons. I'll invent anything you want.
I'll sell anything I've got III take
pay in anything you have, and Ill give
every one OF you chance to make .
million dollars. Wall Street News,

POLITICAL POINTS.

- The inauguration Of Garfield Is
to be- on princely plane. Hartranft
is to have 10000 Pennsylvania soldiers
on hand for the occasion. The Poland
Committee ought to be out with brass
band. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Such intense Republican sheets
as the New York Times are preparing
to go back on the Union soldiers who
apply for pensions. They seem to
think that the Union is likely to cost too
much. The Times gushes over Grant,
but for the men who did the fighting it
mas little to say, except just before
elections; then it gushes like mill-race.
-I,sdiana State Sentinel.
A resolution to turn over q new
leaf is good thing for erring mortals
at the beginning of new year, and the
whole country would rejoice to learn
that Garfield has resolved to turn over
the stalwarts. That is good resolu-
ton that we are all concerned in, and il
the President-elect can only brace up
courage enough to stand by his own
convictions, some good may come out
of the mass Of bribery and corruption
that defeated Hancock. - Exchange

The Settlers of Arizona, Authorized by
the Governor, Organizing to Put Down
the Apache Outbreak.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.-Tucson, Arizo-
ma: Acting governor Casper has authorized
the organization of minute men in all the out
lying camps and will have sufficient number
of arms to supply them. The restive spirit
of the Indians of San Carlos reservation for
bodies trouble. It is the general desire
to see the business settled now
and lnasmuch as the people
are we'll armed. A more suspicious time than
now could not be chosen.
Settlers of lower San Pedro have organized
a company of forty. officered by experienced
Indian fighters. They have sent Agent Tiffany,
of San Carlos agency, word to keep his
Indians on the reservation; that all
found off VIII be treated as hostiles. This
will doubtless breed trouble as the agents have
given the Indians heretofore, their liberty,
and it is doubtful if they will obey his orders
in this instance. 1t is the intention of the
courts which have jurisdiction of the lOcali-
ties of the massacres and other places where
Indian murders have been CON-
mitted to indict the guilty Indians,
so far as their names are known. The sher-
iff or the marshal, as the case may be, will
in securing l 900 men to assist In the work.
They will probably go on the reservation
and seize the gully ones,
and, if necessary, resort to
such measures as will save the expenses OF a
trial. The people are thoroughly aroused on
the question of removal or determination of
the Apaches. Memorials to Congress are to
| be sent from every settlement in Arizona and
New Mexico, asking aid in the matter. There
| is but one opinion on the point.
THE WHITE MOUNTAIN UTEs.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA telegram

Sheridan, dated Chicago, September 10, has

Sheridan says the Indian trouble in Arizona is
confined to the White Mountain Utes, and
there is yet no reason to believe it will spread.
Bradley has gone towards Fort Apache with
| two companies OF cavalry and three cOmpa-
MES of infantry, and will be soon joined by
| McKinzie with SIX companies of the Forty
eighth regiment. Additional companies OF
| infantry are being collected at Wingate and
nine companies Of infantry at Uncompahgre
will be sent there if necessary. 1t is thought
best to hold them in the Ute coun-
try a little longer. Although the Utes seem
to be going to the new place all right,
| Gen. Pope has been of the opinion that he
controls sufficient troops to protect New Mex
| leo and help Wilcox. If l get the slightest
information that will lead me to believe that
| the trouble will spread, will send the whole
| of the Third cavalry and one regiment of in
fantry from the department of the Platte, one

he has certainly not retrograded, but, on the
contrary, has made sure progress towards

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-An extraordinary di-
vorce case began in the superior court to-day.
Mrs. Elizabeth Falvey modestly asks divorce
from two husbands. In 1868 she married Den
mis- Falvey at Lynn, Mass, but in 1872 he de-
serted her. Two years later Edward Hines told
her Falvey was dead, and persuaded her to
that Falyey was not living in Quincy, Mass,
but was married to another woman, and had
several children, Mrs. Falvey therefore asks
to be released from Falvey, because of his
gross violation of his marriage vows, and
from Hines, because she could not legally con
tract marriage when she married him. The
cas- is unique in the history of divorce.

out any material difference in his condition
The language of the morning bulletin excited
general comment, especially among the repre-
sentatives of the press, who had been main
tanning that there were indications OF blood
poisoning in the case. Diligent inquiry to-day
failed to elicit any explanation of the phrase
''septic," which was used in the morning
bulletin, beyond a fact 1t indicated impurlty
of the blood, or in other words blood poison.
ing. Previous to the usual morning bulletin
conference of attending surgeons. Bliss,
Agnew and Hamilton, was held ana 1t is un.
derstood was prolonged by argument as to
what should be announced.
EXPLANATIONS AND DsPECULATIONS..
DR.. Boyton says he understands the word
"septic" IN the bulletin to mean py@mia, and
that there may be.twO or more small Assesses
on right lung. The complication is NOT
growing worse, There is danger however, OF
the left lung being attacked.
DR.. Agnew says he considered the cessation
of perspiration, which has been
very unfayorable symptom in the
Presidents case, one of the best
sigus yet. He also remarked that there is q
febrile rise tonight, but SO light no import
ance is attached to It,
DIR. Hamilton considers him iL as favorable
condition tonight as last night.
Gen. Swain, describing the situation to- day
says he has fully maintained all he had yester-
day and is in as good condition this evening
as last, with probably little gain in strength
This view was cOncurred In by Col. rockwell.
DIR. Boynton, referring to the remarkable
high average of his pulse, informed friend
tonight that day in and day out his pulse had
averaged from 115 to III. The doctor thinks
the Presidents normal pulse ranges between
"a and 76 The doctor, while frankly admit
ting the uncertainty Of the case, still sees the
way out, and thinks his vitality win prove
equal to the emergency.
SYMPATHY.
This morning there was received very
pretty night clock for the President, with d
card attached which bore the words: "With
the sympathy of five interested children OF
Boston," The clock will be placed in his
chamber. A very handsome easy chair was
received from John Hoey.
The following telegram from Topeka, KS,
was received by Mrs. Garfield. "Twenty
Thousand veteran soldiers in reunion assem-
bled, send you our sympathy and
love and ask you to say
to our stricken comrade, our hearts are beat
lug with anxious hope for his recovery. Say
