Apache Atrocities.

MURDER AND RAPINE IN SONORA
ELEVEN WOMEN BRUTALITY TOR
TURED AND MURDERED.
Tucson, Ariz., Aug. 1S.-Advices
from Guaymas, Sonora, of the 10th
ult., says that word has just been re-
ceived from Trinidad, Sonora, that the
Apaches are depredating fearfuly and
committing frightful atrocities in the
Sahuarapa district. A large force of
Mexicans is in close pursuit of The
Redskins. At Taratuc Rancho the
Apaches killed six men passing La
Mesa Palona, they killed two in
Lucuchila and two in Arincahonda
and for three hours afterward attacked
Ell. Carriel, killed eleven women and
a child, stripping the women and
brutally outraging them and then
putting them to death by the most
cruel torture. Four of the men of the
Ranch who were returning saw the
houses OH fire and fled. The Apaches
gave chase. Three of the men took
refuge among the rocks and were de-
Tending themselves, when the fourth
man, who escaped, brought the news
to Trinidad. A large force of citizens
started at once to the rescue, and
couriers were sent in all directions to
warn the settlers of the whereabouts of
the hostiles. No mail riders have ar-
rived for several days. 1t is believed
that all have fallen victims to the
Apaches. The number of hostiles is two
hundred commanded by Jub, the Chi
huahua Chief, who escaped after the
battle with General Fuero last spring.
Authenticated reports state that a
band of Apaches have penetrated
Alamer and are depredating there.
General Reys, with n large force in
the Sahuarapa district, declares he will
notspare mau, squaw or papoose if
he again encounters them.

As the inquiry into certain prac IT,
ces of the retail drug trade in Philadel-
phia progresses, it becomes evident that
substitution, adulteration, and soph-
istication are common in that city.
The fault is not wholly with the re-
tailers. Pharmacists urge that they,
as q rule, place implicit confidence In
the wholesale men who supply them,
and thus it may sometimes happen
that a tincture, an extract, or some
other preparation will lack strength,
not through the direct fault of the
druggist who furnishes 1t to the con-
sumer, but because of inherent defects
or gross impurities in the drugs of
which it is co omposed. Other retailers
say that the testing Of most OF the
drugs in common use Is by no means
difficult or expensive, and where drug
pists fail 10 make full test of their raw
material, the fault is theirs if they are
not able to produce medicine such as
may be worthy of public confidence,
Many druggists are in the habit o! sell
ling laudanum, a drug in very ire
quent request, at from two-thirds TO
one-half the standard strength. This
they do, some of them say, because
they are often called upon to sell the
drug without prescriptions, and fear
that suicidal use may be made OF 1t.

"A decision was rend cred by y
Judge in New York State the other
day which carries with 1t moral.
An old man of seventy years has been
sued by the town, for the expense of
keeping his son who had become a
confirmed inebriate and pauper. The
Court decided that, so long as laws
were made granting license to indl-
viduals to sell liquor, and young men
became paupers through the use of
them, that the town was responsible
for their maintenance and not the
parent.

That's a common express

The singular thing about

kidney disease, liver COM

Whatever the cause, don't

New York, Aug, 20.-United
State Marshal Knox yesterday sent a
communication to chief of marshals Of
the election districts In this city, re-
questing them to meet at his office on
next Thursday to make arrangements
for preparing the list of special mar
shals who acted at the Presidential
election of 1880, with view ofthe early
payment of those officials, who have
long since ceased clamoring for their
pay, many have made up their minds
that they would never get it. The
sums due these special n,arshale range,
according to the time served, from So
TO $50, and the total amount to be dis
bursed will aggregate about $50, 900.
None of the men will be paid until the
pay-rolls have been prepared, which
will occupy several days.

Springfield, H., Aug. 2o.-A
special from Ashland says: About
midnight, Saturday,, five or ak men
broke open the door of Eli Cox's house
about five miles north of here, and
demanded the old mans money, He
showed them where it was. They got
about $40. This did not satisfy them,
and they procured rope and strung
Cox up three times, stuck his feet In
the fire, burnt his hands and beat him
felrru'ly. William Stiles and his
father lived in one part of the house,
but were covered by revolvers and could
give no assistance. The robbers had
horses tied in the woods near by and es-
capped. Thursday last, Cox deposited
large sum of money In the bank, and
this was the money they expected to
get.

Twenty.slx thousand widows of soldiers
and sailors in the lastwar with Great Britain
draw pensions every three months with ex-
emplary punctuality. The war ended
about sixty-seven years ago, and the fact
that SO many widows of the brave men
who followed the flag so long ago yet live
is a gratifying proof of the longevity OF
American women There is a swindle
somewhere. These pensioners are prob
ably male pension agents disguised in
widows weeds.

acceptably that no ground of removal can

Raise Your Own Cows

Il is the practice Of many successful
dairymen to sell all their calves to the
butcher when at the proper age fer veal, and
keep up their dairy stock by buying heifers,
say three years old. They do this because
they maintain that it is cheaper to keep up
their dairy in this way than to raise their
own calves. In strictly money making
point of view this may be good policy. but
we doubt its general good policy for dairy
men generally. It may be best for the
dairyman who is carrying all the stock
his farm will support in the form
of milking cows, but we think in
the long run it viii bring batter re-
suits to keep few less COWS and
devote some of the capacity of the farm
to the raising Of your own cows. In practice
the buying system must subject the dairy to
a want of uniformity of stock and to multi
plicity of breeds. Then, too, one who de-
ponds on buying all his cows must take many
chances ss to the quality Of his purchases for
the purpose for which he wants them It is
seldom that those who are keeping any cows
fer milk or butter will sell the calves from
their rest cows, and hence the dairyman who
buys his cows altogether must be liable to
bring into his dairy at every purchase inferior
animals. If he goes into the herds of the
large cattle-breeder for beef he cannot
expect to get in his purchases cows
with the dairy instisct, or in other
words the gentle miik-giving instinct.
He may buy better.5red animals than he
could raise from his own COWS, but if they do
rot come from cows that have been kept in
the dairy. but have, on the contrary, been

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

Something for breeders to remember
that from the male parent are mainly de-
rived the external structure, conhguration
and outward characteristic, the locomotive
peculiarities inclusive. From the female
parent are derived the external structure,

proportion thaa from the male, the consti-
ssltion, temper and habits.
The demand for mutton for summer con.
sumption in every town and village is a
thing to be cultivated by farmers. A flock
of sheep is safe to pay 100 per cent profit
in the hands of competent manager.
Every week few head of fat sheep might
go to the butcher for local consumption
during the hot weather, when beef is less
salable, and in this way the surplus of a
considerable flock might be worked off,
But the dogs! When sheep are more
numeroasly kept than dogs, the question
