 Mir. Calhoun, prominent stock man of Colfax county, residing above Cimmarron, who is en route from hls ranch on the Ponil to Taos, recently saw. eight miles out from Ocate, the trail of over two hundred'Apache h. dians, who were apparently crossing the country from the Black lakes. heading in course that would strike about half way between the Galilnas and the Sierra Grandes.
 A traveller, who was met soon atter, reports having seen the band oi In- dians on the march, and Is quite cer- tain that there were at least one nun dred warriors, besides the women and children. They are supposed to be the Cimarron Apaches, or Utes, who who were removed a few years ago to a reservation in Southern Colorado.
 Mir. Calhoun is ssnguine Tn his be- lief that these suspicious movements mean war, and has written many let tefs to his friends in Colfax county, urging them to prepare for the worst
 He is further convinced that an out break is intended from the fact that about three weeks ago, while coming from hIs ranch on the Staked Plains, he met small party of Pueblo h. dians, who had visited the hloWas on a trading expedition. In the band was one Kiowa chief and two war riors, going over towards the Armar- fila country, in northeastern New Mexico. When asked the purpose of their visit, the Kiowas replied that they were going over 10 have a coun- ell with tue Utes. All Tn all, it Is safe to presume that the red devils mean mischief, and we would not be surprised to hear of their sigual fires blazing in the mountains before many days. The people in the exposed districts should organize and arm themselves. They have been warned and should not hesitate to act.
 D. T. HOskins, N. c. Arnold and Jack Churchill returned last evening from a business visit to Mora, Ocate and other northern towns. During their peregrinations they crossed the trail of the Ute Indians twice, and were somewhat solicitous for their safety They report the Indians 10 be moving southward, and think they took refuge in the Turkey mountains, twenty miles northeast of Las Vegas. It is the opinion of the settlers that the Utes are marching 10 the Panhan- dle to meet other tribes and form a confederation. If this be the case a | war of bloody duration may be e1- pected in New Mexico just as soon as the grass springs out ,airesh, and thot is not far distant.

What Others Think.

EDITOR CITIZEN: The articleIn Thurs. days Star trying 10 throw ridicule on The resolution of the City Council for having given letter of introduction 10 MT. Nm. Zeckendorf with the inten- ton 10 lay before lhe Directors of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail- road a petition or plan to include the city ot Tucson in the railroad route to Guaymas, has. no doubt, been read Win universal indignation by all who nave the welfare of Tucson at heart.
 The attempt 10 initiate a notorious San Francisco paper, or to gain in- nueuce or subscribers by making at- lacks upon respectable citizens and thelT families for the delectation of the vulgar, ough. to be killed in :ts cradle.
 To show tolerance or indifference n such case would be tantamount to connivance, and I therefore think to meet the spprobation of the decent part oi our population by protesting fgalnst the article in question as be- Ing injurious to the interests of Tue son and its reputation as a civilized community. From such attacks upon respectable citizens towards blackmail. ing Is only one step.

Lsan Diego Tninn.l


 The work on the California south- ern Railroad is progressing quite rap- idly. Last December contracts were let for the first eighteen miles, the work to be completed by the first of April. The contractors will all be through by the tune stated, and some oi them month earlier. MT. Loup Tor instance, has already completed the team work and will finish the rest oi the work h week or ten days. The engineers and surveyors are push ing ahead with praiseworthy zeal. As will be seen by tt.e notice to contract ors In our advertising columns thirty miles more will be let on the 2lst inst. The first of the ten vessels from Eu- rope with steel rails will arrlve in April Ii she has a fair passage, and the others will come along during the ensuing six months. A ship is now loading car maternal, rolling stock, etc, at New York for San Diego. Theret not the least doubt that be- fore this time next year San Diego will be in rail connection with the whole United States.

What Finally Persuaded the Mule.


 qsunf and wicked looking mule, heIo6gine 0 a couEtryman, balked ID River street yesterday afternoon, and the usual crowd gathered to give ad- vice and suggest plans to move the animal. VarOus expedients were tried, such as twisting hls tail and uniting dirt in his eyes, ears and mouth; but he retained his compos- ure and refused to notice the treat ment of the operators even with a .ick. They were about 10 build a
 re under him, when a saloon keeper in the neighbOrhOod offered 10 bet five dollsrs that he could make him 1" get" ano !here being no takers con- clnded to do it just tor the sake of showing his knOweledge of mules. He took from his pocket a flask of River street tauglefOOt and poured A little into the massive mules mouth. In 0 second afterwards there was blank astonishment h every feature of that mules countenance, and the next instant he bumped himself and shot down the street as ii with the in- tent of eclipsIng Sl. Julien's record The owner watched him for mo- ment, ana then turning to the bottle holder, said: " Mister, if that 'ers stuff ain't too pizen strong I'll take a drop of il ia n.y mouth, for Two got to catch that mule"

An Ingenious Theory .

An eccentric Berlin philosopher announces that he has discovered a way 10 make q trip around the world in twenty-tour hours. He says that he is informed by the captains of ships that birds are seen a thousand miles or more from land, and prOnOunces il self evident that they must reach shore in very short tune, since they cannot find q resting place in mid ocean. From this he concludes that they merely raise themselves alOft, and with only motion enough 10 keep aho9t, remain ss nearly stationary as possible, while the earth revOlves around under them. All they have 10 do is to wait until the desired spot on the earth's surface comes along and thereupOn comfortably lower them selves to solid ground. This ingen- ious practice ou the pat of the birds the Bell man proposes to initiate for mankind with lhe assistance Of ba- loon and passenger car of peculiar construction that he has invented that will soar aloft and remain slationars while the restless earth rolls on be- low. It does not appear that he hay successfully tried a trip with hls ba- loon himself, but he has laid his the ory before the Polytechnic Society of Berlin and given an elaborate exposi- tiOn of it. The society received it with levity, but the inventor is iu dead earnest.

The Epitaph's Ignorance.

We should, perhaps, all things con- sidered, have felt fatteTed by the en- eomiums of the Epitaph on our arti- cle of last Friday, advocating the abolIshment of the grand jury, had that journal rested content with its first comments. But unfortunately for our organ of self esteem, while publishing our article in full on the Sth instant, the anticipated refuse of the CITIZEN sanctum who now at tempts to perform the editorial labors of our contemporary of the doleful- ly suggestive appellstion, saw proper to annex thereto additional comments which so unmistakably evidence his utter lack of capacity to even read our article understandingly, that his pre- vious accusation against us as pos sessing brains utterly fails, unless supported by other and better testi- mony than that of the imbccile indi- vidual aforesaid.
 He gives us credit in his remarks with having advanced sufficient good reasons for the abolishment of the grand jury, but complains that we offer DO substitute therefor, and ap- peals to other wisdom than ours-viz :: legislative wisdom-to supply the de- ticiency.
 Will the village schoolmaster of Tombstone please send one of his first reader class to read our article in ques- ton to the young man during some of his lucid intervals, if he be blessed with such, and explain to him our reference to the information and pre- sentiment plan as 6 remedy for the ills of which we complain as being attend ant on the present systems
 As 10 the ill-conditioned slurs to the effect that our editorial was contrib uted, We have only to assert that whatever there is of merit in the arti- cle, it justly belongs to us; and the young man aforesaid is not justified, we think, in judging of the present mental deficiencies of our sanctum by what they were when his presence therein was for time endured.

IT is estimated by the Arizona CIT HEN that the bullion product of Ari- zona for 1881 will be S17, 900. 1000, in- cluding copper. Our estimate is S20,- 900, 900, and from reports coming in thus early in the year, we confidently believe our estimate will be verified. The Arizona Con Company's mil turned out the first five days after starting up $15,OOO in bullion. The run was continuous, and is good evi- dence of what eau be done with the ores Of Arizona. The leading mines now paying largely show no diminC- ton, and the large number of new mills going up and the steady yield of the old, with the hundreds of new mines opening, bid fair to place the Territory on the list as the leading producer of the precious metals. -[ Economist.

The Porm Kent EIrn Warm.

The French Canadian poet Frechette tells a story of how a single line of one of hls early poems kept him ond his chum warm through a cold Can adian winter. He and his friend were living in the attic Of an old Quebec house, and depended on a stOye-pipe passing through the floor from lower apartment for artificial warmth. IL was not strange that short poem written in this apartment should con- tain the line, 60 Shivering in my attic poor" But when his lardlady saw it in a local newspaper her heart got the better or her pique, for, when the young men cane home on the follow ing day they found Q stove in the room and were lectured as follows Gentlemen, we are very indulgent, considering your noisy meetings. We are rot very particular when rent day arrives, and if you shiyered in your room it would have been better to have said so privately than 10 have complained of it in the newspapers.

Newspaper Reporters. fPhiladelphia Press.1

It is a great mistake 10 suppose that all that Is required to make a good reporter is liberal education. A re- pOrter's position Is one requiring tact, jud dgment, courage and a thorough knowledge of the world and the raw college graduate can no more hold satistact rily the reporters position than the reporter could satisfactorily fill a professors chair. Reporters are born-not made. They have become a class as indispensable 10 the de- mands Of modern civilization as the locomotive or the telegraph; and if, while the tired world slumbers un- conscious of the midnight tramps through wind and rain of the daily newspaper reporter-if, for one night, he were to suspend his labors, then the public realize the debt 1t owes 10 the Knight Of the Notebook"

THE British consul at Shanghai MT. Davenport, says there is little doubt that the dreadful famine which has for the past year scourged inc north oi China may be attributed in great measure to the spread of poppy cultivation. A very large proporticn of the available ground in that region has been sowa to this plant, which is found 10 be more remunerative than any kind of grain. Consequently the gransries were left untitled and no provision made for year of drought The consul says that unless the growth of opium can be cheo ked by the gov ernment the evil will increase, and of course another year of trough will cause more terrible famine than the last.
