Ell PAso, January 3.--At Eagle Pass last
Saturday night band of Apache Indians
swept down on a lot OF Cinnamon, number
ing eleven, and killed them all. They sur
prised the Chinanen while asleep in their
camp, and, startled by the wild yells of the
redskins, the Celestials attempted to es-
cape, and were shot down like sheep as
they fled. The Cinnamon were part of
the surviving gang of the Southern Pacific
Road. The Indians made their escape.

EVENINGS At HOME.

Solomon tells us that there is time for
all things time to weep, and time
to laugh, to play and to dance. Surely,
the time to laugh, to play and to dance
comes most appropriately in the long
pleasant evening hours, when
The cares that infest the day
Fold up their tents like the Arabs
And silently steal away.
It is well for the women of the house.
hold to remember that the pleasant
evenings at home are strong antidotes
to the practice Of looking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure in by
and forbidden places; for relaxation and
recreation will be INDUCED in somehow
by most men, and happy are they who
find in the home circle the diversion
they need. A LIVELY game, an interest
ing book read aloud, or, in musical
families, new song to be practlced,
will furnish pastime that will make an
evening pass pleasantly.
A little forethought during the day,
little pulling of wires that need not
appear, will make the whole thing easy,
and different ways and means may be
provided for making the evening hours
pass pleasantly, and time to be looked
forward to with pleasant anticipations.
We visited once in a large family
where it was the duty of each sister, in
turn, to provide the evenings occupa-
ton, and there was a pleasant rivalry
between them as to whose evening
should be the most enjoyable. The
brothers entered fully into the spirit of
the simple home entertainments, and
were as 10th to be obliged to spend an
evening away from home as their sisters
and parents were to have them absent.
Every one spoke of this family as anun-
commonly united one, for each and
every member showed such strong at
tachment for the home to which each
one contributed so much pleasure.

HOBBY RIDING,

We notice that many have mania
for talking of their ailments. One
question about their health will tilt over
on you the great reservoir of their COM
plants. They have told the story so
often that they can slide through the
whole, from G above to G below. For
thirty years their spine has been at
discount, and they never were any bet
ter of neuralgia till they took the rheu-
matism. At first you feel sympathy for
the invalid; but, after awhile, the story
touches the ludicrous. They tell you
that they feel so faint in the morning,
and have such poor appetite at noon,
and cannot sleep nights, and have l1m-
bago in their backs and little dots float
ing before their eyes. and have taken
ammoniacum, gargled their throat with
sal -ammoniac and bathed their back
with saponaceous iniment that very
moment they are chewing chamomile
flowers to settle their stomachs, and ex-
CuSo themselves IOr u luOm6uG To Jake OH
mustard plaster that begins to blister.
They are the harvest of druggists and
the amazement of physicians, who no
sooner clear the pain from one spot than
it appears in another. At times we
should talk over our distresses and seek
sympathy, but perpetual discourse on
such themes wears out the patience Of
our friends. You always see the young
people run from the groaning valetudi-
marian, and the minister fails in his
coincidence, for why speak of the pa
tience of Job to one that says boils are
nothing to his distresses? The hobby
he rides is wounded. Incurable nags
are taken out on the common and killed,
but this poor hobby joys on with no
hope on the other side of the Red sea OF
joining Pharaoh's horses. The more it
imps, and the harder it breathes, the
faster they ride TT DE Witt Tai

POLAR EXPLORATIONS.

For many years explorers have made
attempts to penetrate to the far North,
seeking the open Polar sea, which was
believed to exist, and endeavoring to
penetrate to the North pole. In 1850
an Arctic expedition was fitted out by
Henry Grinnell, of New York, with
Lieut.. E. J. DeHaven as commander
and DIR. Elisha Kent Kane as naturalist
and surgeon. This is classed as the first
United States expedition of search it
returned in 1851 wlthoutfnding trace of
Franklin. DIR. Kane in 1853 sailed
from Boston in the Advance, with
company of seventeen men, among
whom was DIR. Hayes; they encoun-
tered many dangers, and returned to
Boston, where they arrived Oct II, 1855.
On May 30, 1860, the first expedition
Charles Francis Hall sailed from New
London, CT, to search for Franklin,
and returned without finding any trace
| of that navigator, after an absence OF
two years. DR.. Hayes sailed from Bos-
ton, July 9, 1860, in the schooner Unit
| ed States, of 1873 tons, with fourteen per-
sons in the party, not including him
self: he reached land in latitude 81 deg.
81 min. Hall started from New Lon
don, Ct, on his second trip, July 80,
1864. and returned in 1869; and again
he fitted out an expedition by Con-
gressional appropriation, and went
north to find the open Polar sea, but he
died in Greenland, Nov. 8, 1871 his
vessel was the Polaris, which sailed from
New York June 20, 1871. On July 8,
1879, the steamer Jeanette was fitted
out at San Francisco by James Gordon
Bennett, for an Arctic trip through
Behring's straits, the crew numbering
thirty.two men. On June 10, 1878,
Lieut. Fred Scwhatka, with party
of five. left New York in search of the
remains of the Franklin party, which
were found, and the party returned after
an absence of over two years. A prop
osition has been made by prominent
and adventurous English naval officer to
90 north as far as possible by vessel and
sledges. and take balloons and with them
seek the North pole.

1 Horrible Tragedy and fits Sequel.

I cannot close this letter without
chronicling tragic event which took
place recently. 1t was on the northern
frontiers of this empire, over against
Saxony; the scene, an inn; time, even
ing. Many old customers of the place
were assembled In the snug room, with
its time-polished tables, its tail-hled
stove, its amazing pictures of saints and
angels. Beer enough to float an IRON
clad, wine enough to intoxicate CONT
nent, had been served out in that place
since its first dedication to Bacchus two
centuries ago. Tonight the worship OF
Of the wine-crownedd deity was proceeding
as merrily as usual. and the air was
thick with tobacco smoke, when a man
with a sleeping child in his arms
slouched in and sat down in q corner.
He drank glass or two of beer, while
the child, golden-haired little fellow OF
about five, rested his head Oh the table
and went on with his nap. The jolly
topers soon forgot all about the stranger,
who after while desired to be shown to
his room, as he wished to put his son to
bed. But soon an angry dispute was
heard without, at the foot of the stairs,
the father using shocking language, the
child whining piteously: i" Father,
father, you know have been unable to
go up stairs by myself ever since I broke
my leg"
menacingly, "you can get up very well
if you choose, and, besides, you have
only yourself to thank for your broken
leg-up you go or will beat you black
and blue and he administered cruel
blow to the cripple. Several of the
guests had come out into the passage,
and now demonstrated vehemently with
the brutal father.
"Is that your child, you monster ?"
asked one.
"What's that to you?" was the an
swer.
"Yes, oh, yes, he is my father"
moaned the boy, as he sat helpless on
the stairs, and rocked himself in an
agony of tears The man became still
more enraged, and would, doubtless,
have belabored his son, had not one of
the persons present laid hold of him, ex-
claiming, ''Cease your brutality, or we'll
fetch the police" But this only had the
effect of throwing the father into real
paroxysm of rage He drew a knife,
and struggled frantically.
"Take care, take care" screamed the
boy, she will rip us all up, same as he
did my poor mother"
Little fend," yelled the father, and
freeing himself with q great effort, he
buried the knife in the child's body.
The poor little soul sank down with a
groan. A shout of Indignation came
from the others, who rushed at him en-
maasse; but the man. taking his hat off
politely, said with winning smile:
"Gentlemep, we have to do with
wooden child. I am ventriloquist and
no mean one either, as you will admit"
A pause of speeches. establishment, dur
ing which could have been heard the
dropping of the traditional pin, and then
the rafters shook with prolonged (Hom-
eric) laughter. The clever deceiver was
dragged into the parlor, where, besides
exhibiting many funny trick of voice,
he took much more wine than was good
for him, and finally rolled to bed with
his pockets full of money, and his MUIR
dered child smiling blandly under his
arm.-FrOn1 Vienna Letter.

Bows ana ThImbies.

No man can, like the writer, live
sixty years without often wishing he
had learned to use a sewing thlmble
well in his early boyhood, especially
if he has gone about the world much.
Buttons will come off, stitches will break,
and how handy it is for boys at school,
for men at hotel, at friends house,
indeed anywhere away from home-to
be able to whip on a button, stop a
starting rent, and do many other little
servings, without calling on woman,
or perchance sending for tailor before
being able to appear at hotel table.
One seldom, if ever, learns to use
thimble if this part of his education m has
been neglected in small boyhood. The
writer has travelled a good deal, and at
q rough guess has broken threads at least
500 times in attempting towork a needle
through button or garment without q
thimble. Boys, take our advice, and
every one Of you learn to use thimble
well before you grow up. Do it this
very winter; it is not feminine to do SO.
Do it and if you live long you will
many times thank us for this advice

Cotton says:
IF solid happiness we prize.
Within our hearts this jewe lies,
And they are fools who roam"
There is no doubt the rose would
have its fragrance if it blossomed on
cypress. The little dew-drop would
sparkle if hanging on a thistle. A
diamond sips in light from midnight
till its very crystals sparkle. True
hearts find JOY and true ears hear
sweet sounds even down by the murky
river, if, as Bacon says,
''All our actions take
From the cOmpieXIon.of the heart,
As landscapes variety IRON light"
Real JOY is the offspring of con-
scious purity of heart, resulting from
life hidden with Christ in God.
Young says:
1.-The Almighty from His throne, on earth
surveys
Naught greater than an honest, humble
heart,
humble heart His residence pronounced
His second seat, and rival of the SKIES"
Can such a heart be really I'M
happy? 1t may, perhaps, like the
rainbow, shine the brightest on the
bosom Of dark, receding cloud
through flood of tears. Where the
heart bleeds most, and the light shines
the least, even down where the dark
tide flows Baxter sings:
1.-The knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But It's enough that Christ knows all,
And | shall be with HIM"
How soon to one who stands by the
river the valley becomes a Pisgah
And even where the spray falls on the
brow at the crossing, the vision of the
soul takes in the scented fields of
home and sings with Bonar:
There no shadows shall bewilder,
There LIES vain parade is DER;
There the sleep OF sin is broken,
And the dreamer dreams no more;
There the bond is never severed,
Paintings, claspings, sobs and means,
Midnight waBIngs, twilight weepings,'
Heavy noon tide-all are done"
Lost i'll the unveiled glories Of the
coming heaven, raised from the thought
of death and dying, how beautifully
Henry Kirk White leads on our
thought:
Welcome, welcome happy bowers,
Where no passing tempest lowers,
But the azure heavens display
The everlasting smiles of day;
Where the choral seraph choir
Strike to praise tn harmonious Tyre,
And the spirit sinks to ease,
Lulled by distant symphonies"
Lulled it may be, yet sweetly con-
scious Of the new delights around it.
Rising from the stream all dripping,
with hands and face upturned, looking
for familiar faces, hear the whispers
Bulwer breathes:
There the mother we have wept, there
bloom
Again the buds that sleep within the tomb;
There DER bright gates inscribed no more
to part
Soul springs to soul, and heart unites to
heart"

THE LOVE OF GOD.

Like cradle, rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro,
Like mothers sweet looks dropping,
On the little face below,
Hangs the green earth, swinging, turn
ing,
Jarless, noiseless, safe and slow,
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best,
So when we are weak and wretched,
By our sins weighed down, distressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds US closest, loves us best.

the old K. i o. track and the E. T., v &

hundred dollars, owned by Trent & Co.,
who have opened up business in that espe-

the lumber from two saw-mills owned by
them and which will cut about two million
feet of lumber per year. Mr.. Trent will
take charge of the lumber yard and planer
here in town, while his partner, Mr.. Nc
Clannahan, will run the saw-mills, which
are located at Rockford. Owing to their
specially favorable location (being near the.
depot and the growing portion of Knoxville)
and to the superior smoothness of their
planning, this firm will merit a very liberal
support from contractors and lumber buy
ers. For sample of the clearness and
smoothness of the lumber which Messrs.
Trent & Co. put out, take look at the
