ber was made when mulatto named &.
w. Sears cut the throat of Sallie Freeman,

along tie road, was seized by middle
aged man and tied to the railway track

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 9TH 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 Lunas. The rest of the teamsters
escaped and reached the town of Las
Lunas last evening. This is the home
of the Hon. Trauquetna Luna, the
delegate to Congress from NaE Mexico,
who Immediately called for volunteers
and left at 1 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
Of Valencia county. Should he man
age to overtake the Indians a good
fight will surely follow, as Delegate
Luna, although h a young man, has seen
considerable Indian fighting during the
past ten years, and is plucky and ex-
perienced. Gen. Hatch has ordered
two more companies of the 9th Cavalry
from Fort Lewis, Col, to Fort 'ralg,
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 at Fort Craig, and was
to have taken the field this afternoon.
The. Nayajoes 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

en- more koumiss and milk
porridge and by noon he had
taken and retained ten or twelve
ounces. The exciting cause of vomiting
yesterday, viz. neuclus in the throat,
seemed to-day to be absent. The Sc
cretions from the intlamed gland was
very scanty and gave him no annoy
ance, and the gland itself caused little,
if any, pain, He therefore rested
more quietly than usual throughout
the day, and swallowing liquid nourish-
ment at regular intervals without nau-
sea or discomfort. Between II and II
o'clock another enemata was given
him, consisting CT five ounces of beef
extract and the yolk Of an egg, aud
shortly after this he went to sleep.
With the exception of the usual slight
rise in his pulse and temperature his
condition remained substantially un-
changed throughout the remainder of
the day ,.. .-
This afternoon, DR.. Bliss, who SEEM
ed rather more cheerful and confident,
said that the general condition Of the
president had not changed much since
yesterday, but then what ch ange there
had been was in the direction of i'm
provement. 1t is, furthermore, he
said, a change in precise ly those symp-
toms which are regarded with most
anxiety, and which have most direct
bearing on the future of the case, viz:
symptoms dependent on the condition
of the stomach. The one great ques-
ton now, he said, was the question tf
nourishment. II his stomach will take
and assimilate food enough to meet
the drain of his system, caused by fe-
yer and constant secretion of pus,
to sustain his strength until other unfa
vorable complications disappear, and
to enable nature to carry on the pro-
cess of repair which has begun in the
wound, | think there is every proba-
bility Of recovery. The consequences
of the swelling Of the gland or of the
slight septic taint Of blood, in which
that swelling had its origin, are of sec
ondary Importance, when compared
with the consequences of the failure of
the stomach to assimilate food. Ex-
haustion is a thing most to be feared.
On being asked what he thought of the
condition of the patients stomach, to-
day, he said: 1t takes food to-day very
well and we hope to have no further
trouble with it. The stomach itself WIS
not so much in fault yesterday, as the
vomiting was caused by the patients
strenuous efforts to get rid Of the tena-
cious mucus in his throat.

July STORMS on the Sun.

The sun was storm swept through the
whole month. The clear air that ring
ed the earth on the 1st was soon after
filled with clouds and thunder storms,
and was swirled here and there into
death-deaiing toTnadocs, go that the
astronomers telescope became useless.
But in all the intervals Of fair weather
it showed the suns face yet spotted
and wrinkled and trimmed with erupt-
ions of flaming gas. In the middle of
the month some ofthe spots, or holes,
were of enormous magnitude, and Of
wonderful complexity in shape and de-
tail. Again at the close of the month
huge groups and rows of spots were
stretched across the disk, and the view
with high magni6ers was startling and
exceedingly impressive.
The most that astronomers are able
to say with confidence about these spots
is that they are holes Of size and depth
almost beyond belief; that they are pro-
duced by disturbances in the glowing
matter OF the sun, and that they are
governed by some law that causes
them to wax and wane in number, in a
period fabout eleven years. There
were no spots to speak of in 1878; they
began to appear frequently in 1886; in
1888 they will be most numerous, and
in 1889 the sun will again be free from
them.-Ne,u York Sun.

THERE is great alarm in New Mexico
over atrocities perpetrated by renegade
Indians. A party of sixty or more af-

Mr.. GLADSTONE has decid ed that all
action against Bradlaugh lapses with the
end Of the current session of parliament.
This is regarded as a backing down on
the part Of the government, and it is
thought that at the next session of the
house of commons Bradlaugh may
possibly succeed in having the parlia-
Inentary oath administered to him.

SWindling Farmers.

1t is reported that there is in Indian
apolis gang Of swindlers who are op-
Grating quite extensively among the
farmers of Indiana, and, perhaps, of
other states. They deal in paten:
rights, or pretend to, and the imple-
ments and machinery which they
claim to represent are often among the
best, and SO they are enabled to do
much more damage than they other
wise could. But implements and ma
chinery are not exactly their strong
hold. 1t is ia an ingenious contract
that they make their money. Below
is the contract:

IT has been practically demonstrated
in Germany that the cost of maintain
ing and repairing underground tele-
graph lines is immensely less than the
similar expense incurred for surface
lines. The difference is in the ratio of

induce American companies to bury
out of sight their dangerous and un-

The president this morning began

more comfortable night than was an

much alarm yesterday afternoon, and
his pulse before he awoke at

auspicious opening of the day seemed
to Justify, or at least make more
reasonable the belief of the five san
culinary persons that the case was to
take a favorable turn, and when the
morning bulletin appeared and it be-
came known that he had began to
swallow food again without vomiting or
nausea, faint quivering of hope took
place of the profound dependency
which prevailed everywhere through

Japanese FACTORY Gir,s.

The japanese have just made another
advance In their imitation of European Gus
toms. Up to the present time popular pre-
judicc has greatly restricted the fed for
women's labor. In the interior, indeed, the
weaker sex take part in agricultural opcr
atoms, but at the great centres of industry
Tcn have m0nopOliHcd almost the whole
area OF rcmuncrativc work. This system
appears to be doomed, as some of the moro
enlcrprising manufacturers are Offering en-
ploymcnt TO women, and 30 far as the ex-
pertinent has yet been carried these phil
anthr0pists have no cause 10 regret the ven
turc. The feminine employees arc content
with considerably lower wages, ami yet
work the same time-twelyc hOurs--as tho
maecuinc monopollsts. Whether they turn
out the same quaint y Is not stated, but in
quality the result OF their labors is said to
compare not unfavorably with the average
of mems work. so great has been tho sue
cess Of the experiment that several new
factories chiefly for the manufacture of
Cloth, are about to be built exclusively for
the employment of women. A factory act
will soon be needed, If 1t be true tEat the

as THU must necessarily impose severe

Hunting cats.

No. l was a she-cat Of tho brindlcd kind,
which l believe is the Scottish breed. She,
like Nimrod, was mighty hunter. Hares,
rabbits, and partridges all fell victims to
her sporting propensities. What is remark
able is that whatever she killed she invari-
ably brought home and lad at my mother's
feet If they were worth keeping, as they
often were, they were appropriated, while
Pussy sang her song of pleasure; if they
were not worth keeping, they were given
back to her, and she dcvoured them with a
relish. She ate none till they were lifted
and then thrown down to her again. She
was fond of fish, but, unlike other cats,
she was willing to wet hor feet for them.
Often has she been watched sitting on the
burbank until trout came within reach,
when down went her paw and out came

Tom cat, red and white. Like No. l,
he was mighty hunter. At first he
brought the fruits of the chase home, but
aftcrward became moro selfish and de-
voured what he could on the spot. What
was left he kept hidden until it was re-
quired. Perhaps your readers may con-
slder what follows about him as incredi-
bic, but it is fact nevertheless He seemed
to become weary OF the lying-in-wait pro-
cess of catching game and actually endcav-
ored to run down hares by speed Of foot.
