THE late campaign against the "hos-
tiles" in Arizona, says the Chicago
Tribune, is the queerest in the whole
history of our Indian warfare. Accord
ing to Secretary of War Lincoln, the
force in Arizona consists of 2,273 en-
listed men and 40 officers, beside some
hundreds of troops under Col. Forsythe,
who lately passed into that department
from the Department of New Mexico In
pursuit of the hostiles. The army of
Arizona may be said to have num-
bered $500 effective men; that
of the hostiles consisted of 200 men.
This force of hostiles fought their way
through Gen. Willcox's department, and
through Gen. McKenzie's department,
massacring about 200 persons on the
way--each savage killing his victim
with loss of one man This dead
Indian must be credited to Gen. Me-
Kennels military skill and ingenuity in
precipitating Gen. Forsythe upon the
retreating sayages ut an exceedingly OPP
perfume moment. For this mastery act
of strategy Gen. Mckenzie has been
highly complimented in general orders.
Gen. Wilcox hasn't even one Indian
scalp to show in retaliation for the death
of 200 citizens in his department. But
he has had the satisfaction of being able
to prevent Gen. Carr from repeating his
late act Of discourUesy to him by killing
hostiles. 1t will be observed that Gen.
Carr, a subordinate of Gen. Wilcox,
and one OF the most successful Indian
fighters in the army, has had no COM
mand during the late npleasantness.
The country is to be congratulated upon
the fact that the army has not suffered
any great loss in Arizona. Both Gen.
Wilcox and Gen. Mckenzie have rem
dered distinguished services in this re-
gard. A good many citizens have
been killed, but very few soldiers have
been either killed or wounded. The
Mexican army has not Jared so well.
Gen. Garcia lost two officers and twenty
men killed but then he dispatched a
host of savages and made many prison
ers. We have the satisfaction of know
ing that our army is intact and in splen-
did condition to again pursue Loco
and the remnant of his band of twenty
five" braves-at distance-should they
have the temerity to return to Arizona.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

g-Dr. Isador Kitsee, of Cincinnati, has
patented device for discovering fire.

them. Electricity is used to fuse little
pieces of metal at various points in
mine, and if an explosion of damp occurs
bell is rung.-N: Y. Post
Spirits of turpentine is now made
from sawdust and refuse of the saw
mill. 1t is extracted by sweating
process, and yields fourteen gallons of
spirits, three to four gallons of resin,
and quantity Of tar per cord. The
spirits produced has different odor
from that produced by distillation.
The Journal of Science says that at
the soiree Of the Society of Chemical
Industry, held at Owens College, Mr..
Fletcher, Of Warrington, Eng, demon
strated the possibility of the combustion
Of gas without visible flame, the heat
obtained from quarter-inch gas-pipe
being sufficient to fuse iron into drops.
"A gun invented by man in Ripley,
Miss, is, if it is what it is claimed to be,
one of the most wonderful inventions of

elevated or depressed or turned to the
right or left, inclined to cover the slope
of hill, contracted so as to bring the
fire to bear on one spot or expanded to
cover wide area, aud.all with the great
est ease and in the simplest manner, by
merely turning crank. - Chicago

ut is said that alcohol equal to that
made from grain can be produced from
acorns. The acorns are freed from the
shell and ground finely; then they are
mashed with malt and allowed to fer

for human food if it were not for the
tannic acid (about per cent.) which
they contain. Vast quantities which go
to waste every year, where hogs are not

boys and converted into alcohol for use
in the arts, thus freeing an equivalent
amount of grain for use as food.
An impetus has been given to the
nickel industry by the improved process

as well as ornamental articles are now
made of this material. Nickel table
utensils especially are in great favor
abroad. This class of goods is now be-
ing manufactured largely in Prussia,
and is preferred to similar articles Of
other materials. The hardness of the
metal renders it capable Of receiving a

Water Finders.

One of those individuals who possess
what used 10 be called an impossible
power of detecting water beneath the
surface by the turning of a forked witch
hazel or apple-tree twig in his hands
when passing over the locality where
water was desired has made his appear
ance on Cape Cod. A Provincetown
man says that the "water finder" is
quite old and nearly blind. "He locates
water for well-diggers, or pretends To,
simply by moving about over the surface
with his eyes totally blinded. He pre-
tends to give also about the number Of
feet below the surface at which the wa
ter will be found. 1t is said that the
old water finder is a farmer and lime
| burner; also, that he has been employed
at Beverly and Newport at S8 per day
this season, and succeeded in locating
water; also, that he succeeded in de-
tecting the presence of metals" InVes-
tigation shows that person somewhat
answering this description has been
quite successful in locating water veins
this season along the line of the Eastern
Railroad, and that there are others in
New England who have fully shown
themselves possessed of the same s'pow-
er of divination." In upper New Hamp-
shire wells are often located by such
means.-Bost0n Herald.

WHEN the Eureka stage was about
nine miles south of Seligman, No., Sept 10,
two masked men sprang from the roadside,
ordered the driver to halt, and made the
passengers afght and hold up their hands.
While one of the highwaymen enforced obe-
dience with revolver the other ransacked
the mail pouch, selecting q few PACKAGES
and scattering the remainder ON the ground.
After ordering the passengers to give up
what they had, the leader told his accom-
plice to ''watch these men," and started on
run up the road to meet another hack of
the same line, distant some 800 or 400 yards.
The driver drew up, of course, and two men
alighted, a lady from Kansas City remain
