DENVER, Coll, December 7.-Psrtlculars
have been received OF the wholesale slaugh.
ter by Ju and his band, near the town OF
Case GraHde, in the Array De Enelnnlila,
in the State of Chihuahus, of Americans and
Mexicans. Ju and his band have been COM
hitting various depredations for some time
past, and few days before went to the
ranches of Jefe Politico, OF Caliauo and Don
Juan, of Candirio, and stole many head OF
sheep and cattle. They visited the ranches
of other citizens and drove off many more.
Politico and the other sufferers gathered a
band of about thirty men and started alter
the Indians. They came upon them before
they knew that Ju and his band were any
where near. They were Immediately sur
rounded by the Indians in the Aroys, and
Polilico, as soon a. he saw that the band
numbered over 200, dispatched one OF the
men for assistance, who managed to escape.
Arriving at Galliano, be got together
about seventy men and started at once Tor
the scene. Ju sent out party, who engaged
in fight with him, preventing them from
joining Politico. The rescuers cav the
slaughter, but could do nothing for their
unfortunate friends. Every one OF the pur-
suing party, with the exception of The man
who went for succor, was butchered by The
sayages. They then retTeated 10 Sierra
Madre. When the friends of the unfortunate
victims went TO bury the dead they foucd
not far from the spot where the massacre &C.
CURED the bodies of five Americans. Two,
it has been since learned, were from Grant
county. n. NJ. Their names were james
Biggs and w. Mcdowell. They had been 10
Chihuahua some time purchasing cattle, and
were then on their way home. Ju and his
band some time ago murdered several promi-
nent citizens of Chihushua.

FRIDAY, 80: DECEMBER s, 1885,


If the voice OF the press is 10 be taken as
an exponent of public opinion, then there
can be no doubt that the people at large are
agains, the proposition to do away with the
whole Of the internal revenue taxes. That
proposition comes from the monopolists. If
there were doubt upon the subject that
doubt il set at rest by the action Of the ring
leader of the protectionists, Pig-Iron Kelley.
On Tuesday be introduced bill in Congress
to abolish the duty on tobacco, cigars and
snuff, and he favors the abolition of the tax
upon whisky. The monopolists are striving
for free tobacco and cheap whisky, because
they want, by that means, TO reduce the in
come of the government so low as TO
render it dependent upon taxes from the
tariff. This would preserve high rates, and
the monopoIists would go on increasing
their fortunes. The people will not coun-
tenapce this. They do not believe in cheap
cigars for young coxcombs, and dear boots
and coats and sugar for poor workingmep.
The sentiment of the country is in favor of
increased sobriety, and it will not look On
with patience for the drunkard TO be sup
piled with cheap whisky while the poor
man must pay heavy taxes on the necessa-

Refine and her best girl friend, PAnsy Per-

Coas:clif Castle this dreary November after
noon, when the skies were overcast with
sullen looking clouds whose presence foretod

from youth, notwithstanding that Pansy had

the right side Of the wheat market, and gave
one to Refine.
Theirs was indeed deathless affection.

A CHECK TO POVERTY.

Nothing is clearer than the fact that where
a country has wealth enough for all, no able,
sober, industrious person need TO want for
a fair share of the necessaries and comforts OF
life, if the laws regulating the distribution
of property are just and wise. There ia no
more necessity for the existence Of a desli-
tute class in wealthy nation, than there is
for the deck passengers on 4 we'll provisioued
ship to die of starvation. Obvious as this is,
our philanthropists are in complete ignor-
ance upon the subject, and they weary heaven
with prayers and men with applications for
money TO relieve poverty, without thought
of taking steps to prevent poverty by secur-
ing such distributive laws as shall check the
accumulation of immense wealth al one end
OF the social scale. Such accumulation as
certainly leads TO restitution, as supplying
unlimited provisions to be squandered and
wasted in the cabin would entail starvation
Strange to say, that what has
not reached the intelligence of
the older settled parts of the world, has be-
come clear to the people on the far-awsy
colony of New Zealand. There the Lsgisla-
ture are contemplating system of insurance
in cases of sickness and old age, national
system by which every family may be saved
from coming TO want when its head is unable
TO work Under the proposed plan every
man will be taxed by law e66, which must
be paid before he is twenty-three years Of
age; il unable to pay this "lump down." he
must pay Two shillings week for twelve
years. In return for these payments, he will
receive during sickness fifteen shillings
week, or if married twenty-five shillings and
six pence a week; en- reaching the age Of
sixty-6ve he has a approximation allowance
Of ten shillings a week while he lives. Wages
Of workingmen will, under the ordinary
operation of thing, regulate themselves 10
meet this extra outlay. At present, where
c1yitui lrse-I~bes- sAtisNly dependent upon il,
the lsborer gets as much in wages as will
Il I'd him and his family in coarse food and
common clothing; when The two shillings
week tax is required as we'll as the food and
that must be supplied, or the starved
laborer will be unable to work and the capital
list, being dependent upon labor, would soon
be in poverty also. This system compels
capital to pay labor not only sufficient for
support in health and strength, but also in
sickness and old age, which is just. On the
poor-law plan capital has 10 support the
helpless in a way that degrades the re-
cipient. Ga the New Zealand plan that
support assumes the form of wages, and so
leaves the independent feeling of the re-
cipient intact; his allowance in sickness and
old age Is the honest product of his own
oil. There is matter in all this worthy of
The attention not only OF the philanthropist,
but of the statesman and politician. Work
ugmen, especially, should give the subject
earnest and persevering consideration.

He Taken TO the Grave.

WHEELING, December IA sensation &C.
CURED Tuesday at Bsllpre, w. Va. The
day previous Sarah Druse died suddenly
from dropsy of the heart. A few minutes
before her death she had prepared dinner
Tor the family, and while engaged in the
diuing-room, Immediately after dinner,
dropped lifeless to the floor. The body
received the usual preparation and was
placed in a coffin. During the evening.
friends Of the family were present and re-
manned during the night with the corpse.
Yesterday, as the last sad rites were about
to be performed, the corpse began TO breathe
and move very perceptibly, turning on its
side. The pulse was found 10 be full and
strong. AT the first sight of renewed life
every one was dumbfounded. Women
screamed, and the men stood stiff with
fright, looking at the ghastly spectacle. AS
soon as the family and friends recovered
from their fright, medical aid was sum-
moned. Owing, probably, 10 delay in OBJ
tanning physicians, Mrs. Druse, after half an
ho1r, became motionless again, but still at
times showed some eight signs of life. The
medical fraternity is greatly puzzled over
the case, and the body will be held until
Monday. The results are watched with
great interest by every one.

above mere animal existence, and something
nobler in the aspirations OF humanity Than
this life can supply. The effort Is noble
one and becomes the American character,
asd Congress should see that the means are
not wanting 10 insure success on as wide a
scale as possible. a sufficient number Of
Indians should be educated aud trained on
the system Of the institute that has proved
so successful, as to be able TO give each other
moral support and sympathy on their return
TO Indian life, in the efforts they make indi-
Vidually 10 induce their people 10 change
their way of living, and 10 induce them by
steady labor to secure permanent and peace
ful maintenance for themselves, their wives
and their children. When the young In
dian has gone through his course at the
institute; has become qualified for purer
aud more humane aud profitable way Of life
than his brothers and sisters possess, when
he has gained some tinge of more refined
social ways, and a more advantageous way
of employing his time than those around
him possess, it is hard trial to mis- new and
hardly yet accustomed virtues, to stand
alone, unsupported, unencouraged, among
the "wild" Indians who are brothers and
sisters. The government should have
enough of them educated for those who have
been trained, when they re-enter the wig
wan and The forest, to be within supporting
distance of each other. If by such mesns
the Indians can be civilized, the toma-
hawk exchanged for the pillow, the breech-
cloth for decent clothing, the wigwsm
for comfortable cottage, and bloodshed
for kindly mutual helpfulness, how much
would be gained, and how much would be
saved in government expenses that bring no
improvement and initiate no progress.
Surely the Hampton experiment deserves
ample and earnest aid and encouragement.
We have failed go signally in our harsh,
driving, compelling, shooting and bayonet
system, that it is high time we tried more
refined, humsniziDg, and personally ele-
waiting plan. The Hampton Institute has
begun the good work. 1t is for the country,
for the Christian people among Us, to insist
that the efforts OF that institution receive the
necessary countenance, sympathy and aid, so
that the grand effort they are making may
be conducted on a scale and with COM
pleteDess that shall secure the great human
izing effort il has in view.

Irish Side LfRhis.

The London World publishes the follow

This furious 'pilliug' in a leading Dublin
club of some apparently most eligible can
didate is in itself sign that the division be-
tween creeds and parties has been immensely
widened by recent political events.
l hear Pat Esgan is pressing for a share
in tine provisions OF the Kilmainham treaty,
and that Mr.. Parnell is most active ia using
his influence with government to get his
'bsst man back TO Ireland and his bakery.
But there is a deSsous des c1rtes which makes
those who know tbink Pat will be wiser to
stay in Paris, or even further off the reach
OF British law. Prudence is Pats virtue,
and 1 do not think the DEVILS advocate will
find much to say on that head if he is ever
csnonized.
"The PAY the Members Fond is dead
failure. Ths Irish electors are tired of the
hat. and know their elect have had most OF
its contents, rather than the poor tenants,
for whom it was given. America care moth
ing for constitutional agitation and will not
give the members a red cent more. l think
Mr.. Sexton and his fellows will have to go
back to the familiar desks and counters for a
maintenance.
"'Sir PAT surpassed himself iu his on
slsught on the cheap and tawdry dandy ism
of the member for Sligo last week. The

AN ALPINE PICTURE.

In front, the awful Alpine track
Crawls up its rocky stair;
The autumn storm winds drive the rack
Close DER IL in the air.
Behind, are the abandoned baths
Mute in their meadows lone;
The leaves are on the valley paths,
The mists are on the Rhone;
The white mists-rolling like sea-
hear the torrents roar.
Yes, Obermann, all speaks OF thee
l feel thee near once more.
1 turn thy leaves, feel their breath
Once more upon me roll,
That air of languor, cold, and death,
Which brooded Ger thy soul.
A fever tn these pages burns,
Beneath the calm they feign;
A wounded human spirit turns
Here, on its bed of pain.
Yes, though the virgin mountain air
Fresh through these pages blows,
Though to these leaves the glaciers spare
The soul of their white SHOWS;
Though here a mountain murmur swells
OF many a dark-boughed pine;
Though as you read, you hear the bells
OF the high pasturing kline;
Yet, through the hum of torrent lone
And brooding mountain bee,
There sobs know not what ground tone
OF human agony.

Policemen in Armor.

The New York Tribune thus mentions a
new article of policeman's apparel: "Po-
licemen in the upper precincts of the city
wear waistcoats of heavy calf-skin that pro-
tect the chest and the entire upper part OF
the body. They are valuable in double
sense, forming a warm covering az a protec-
ton against the malarial atmosphere at
night, and a coat of mail against the stones
that are used by the gangs of petty thieves
and law-breakers that iniest those districts.
Most of the rascals are half-grown boys who
when pursued take 10 the vacant lots and
greet the officer with shower of stones il he
attempts to follow them. Many policemen
have abscesses on their bodies the result of
Commissions; they are difficult to heal and
often linger for months as painful sores.
These leather waistcoats deaden the blows
and will turn off ball from a email pistol
not fred at close range"
