Alive.
Serious TrOubIe-The Citizens
Aroused.

Tucson, ARIZONA, July 27.-The
Stars Clifton advices of the 25th:
Indians attacked some of the team.
sters three miles from this place to.
day, and killed one teamster and
wounded tive others. One Indian
was killed by the Mexicans. They
brought in his scalp. The coach that
left this morning for Lordsburg with
the mail and passengers had to return
for an escort. Twenty citizens volun-
teered. The Indians numbered about
forty and after the fight they left in
the direction Of Gila alVley, wheres o
many settlers were killed during ths
last outbreak. Great fears are enter
tanned for the safety of the ex-
posed settlements. A courier
who has just arrived from Clifton,
reports that a large party of In
disns attacked a wagon train three
miles this side Of Clifton yesterday
and killed two men (teamsters }
Seven in number stood the Indians off
for two hours aud mortally wounded
one. The Indian teamsters in face Of
the heavy fire rushed out and dragged
the woun ded Indian to their camp
and after the fight scalped him and
roasted him alive. A party WHO saw
him says he was well done aud nice
and brown. The citizens are prepar
ing to take the Indian question into
their own hands, a secret organization
being formed in New Mexico and
Arizona to wipe out the Apaches.
New Mexico has already over six
hundred and Arizona will furnish
more than this number. Globe City
and Gita Valley already has over three
hundred; other sections organizing
rapidly. The citizens throughout
Arizona are praying for the arrival o.

Of the work. Returns of the sanitary
condition Of the isthmus also show
that the death rate among the person.
mel of the company has not exceeded
that among large assemblies of work
men in Europe. During the first four
months of 1882 the average number Of
persons employed was 2060, ana tho
number of deaths from age, accident or
malady averaged only six per month.
The first call on the capital sub
scribed produced sum of about IA
00O,0 900 francs, of which 100000
nemained unemployed at the end of
the year, and the second call of 125
francs per share on 100000 shares,
made ut the commencement of the
year, was duly met. 1t was originally
proposed that of the 600, 600, 900 francs
required for the construction of the
canal, 300, 100000 would be obtained
by shares, and 300,000,000 by the issue
of bonds. The meeting authorized
the board to issue a first series of
10000 FIVE per cent bonds. OF that
loan a sum Of 60,0O000O francs will be
employed for the payment of the last
four anuuities Of the purchase Of the
Panama railway. By that purchase
the company secures an entire monop-
oily in the transit across the isthmus,
and will be able to utilize the railway,
its wharVes and quays, for the con-
struction of the canal.

Cholera among HOgs-TrOubIe-

CHICAGO, July 27.-A Bloomington,
ILL.,, special says Many hogs in the
eastern part of Mclean county have
been attacked by cholera and large
numbers are dying. There is a good
deal Of alarm among the farmers Of
that section.
A special from Fort Tuttle, Dakota,
says: Indians from Canada have
crossed the boundary line and ordered
off white settlers, and refused to pay
customs assessed against them by the
Pembina Agency. They claim a right
to the lands, and deny the legality of
any laws levying taxes against them.
Their chief, Little Shell, says: "We
recognize no boundary line, and shall
pass as we please" At least rs half
breeds have moved over, and all are
pugnacious. Military interference
seems necessary.
An East Tawas, Michigan, special
says; The forest fires are raging
fearfully, extending from Glen
don to within one mile o
TawaS City, and at Minors
farm, one mile east gof Tawas, farm
products are burning, and 9. W. Cur
rie's place is on fire. Farmers are
driving their cattle to the shore and
sending their children to town. On
the east Tawas road many farm fences
and much hay and grain are afsme,
and three dwellings have burned. The
loss is very great. Travel is cut off in
many directions. Strenuous efforts
are making to save Glendon.
A Leavenworth special says: Last
night John O'Neil, guard in the
military prison at the fort, shot Ser

There is no explanation of the mur

Ola Oak.
American Architent.

OF late it has become the fashion to
collect old oak; the revival OF decora-
tive art during the last few years has
again turned attention to old work,
and its value is now fully recognized;
it is becoming rare. Ten years ago
numerous specimens were to be had in
the old timbered farm houses in Ian
casbire and Cheshire; much Of it still
remained as it had been for centuries,
and l have many pleasant recollec
tions of the old kitchens, with open
fire places and low ceiling we'll sup
ported on oak beams, filled with grand
old tables, corner cupboards, bufets,
and pewter racks, well stored with
the brightly polished pewter. l re.
member some instances where the old
oak has been put to very ignominious
uses. | have seen fine old Golfers used
as corn bins 10 stables, and | rescued
once noble buffet, which boy had
turned into the home of four pink
eyed ferrets.
Some years ago Belgium was an
excellent field, and during one trip
there | collected In Antwerp, Ghent,
Maline, Bruges and the little towns
in their vicinity, over a dozen of the
finest specimens of Flemish work |
ever saw; last year | went over tho
same ground without finding one de-
sirable antique, although | found lots
of limitations we're to be had and we're
being sold as antique. There is an
old man in Ghent who initiates them
very cleverly, in fact, so successfully
that it is really difficult to tell the
spurious ones from the genuine. One
day (it was Saturday, } | went to see
him; be showed me several specimens
which | pronounced shams he was
very indignant and assured me they
were his ancient Veritable antiquities.
| went away, and next day, Sunday,
coming out OF a church near his place,
| found his door yard open, and got a
view through it of the old sinner very
busy with pot of ammonia and a
brush, staining upa new cabinet into
"veritable antique" | vent into
the yard and found the old fellow had
quite a collection Of old panels, molds
and carvings which he manufactured
into tables and cabinets, and sold as
genuine.

A REPRESENTATIVES, of the LEDGER
went down on the elegant steamer

and make a correct report of some Of
the results of the late food, condition
Of the crops, etc. Some Of his obser-
vations and conclusions appear in to.

by one or more articles, which it is
hoped will be found of interest and
value by the public. AS will be seen, a
hopeful view is taken, Notwithstanding
great damages by the food, loss Of
stock, reduced acreage in cultivation
and the prospective shortage in the
cotton crop Of the bottoms. All re-
ports from the uplands are very en-
couraging. The crop on land not
overaowed the second time was never
better. There will be teeming abun-
dance this fall, and a splendid business

SOME people are so hard to please.
When our erring brethren went off in
alittle crowd to themselves and nom
mated gentleman named Fussell for
Governor,the company was so select, 80
exclusive, that the LEDGER dropped
on the name sky blue Democracy. 1t
seemed SO ethereal, high toned and
aesthetic, and withal made up of such
nice gentlemen, so much brains it is
claimed, aud high moral worth that
we could not find conveniently des-
ignation on earth. And now they
have appropriated the name, and still
grumble because the LEDGER gave it
to them and stood as a sort Of brevet
godfather at the christening.
They say it was given in . de-
rision. Isn't this just little
too utterly sensitive? We were trying
to treat them with more than mock
pOliteness. We might have called
them regulators because they refuse
to pay the State debt proper, or com
munists, or centralizers, or traitors, OF
selfish agitators, or any of the hard
names that were banded about two
years ago, but it is too late in the day
for this paper to adopt that style. Even
in a family quarrel, which is the bit
terest Of all, we have refrained from
the use of cheap epithets or language
that would leave a sting after the occa-
sion which gave it the color Of excuse.
Two of the sky blue organs tackle the
name in complaining spirit, but say
they accept it and will wear it-in a
spirit of martyrdom, presumably
Knowing that the erring brethren in
this movement are generally Democrats
and will be back 10 the party, we deal
with them tenderly, and wish to say
nothing that we will wish unsaid OF
feel like retracting when this cruel
war is over. SKY blue it shall be,
then, and when the prodigal son gets
hungry aud cold and comes marching
home, he will be given a square meal
and put to work in the field with his
brother, who didut bolt or 60
out West to take chills and grow up
with the country.

HoN. j. L. Denton, who has been
State Superintendent of Public In

years, has declined to be candidate,
although he sought the nomination.
The Central Committee met on the

w. E. Thompson on the ticket. Dir.
Denton made faithful and efficient
Superintendent, and has done great
work in promoting the cause and the
spirit Of education in Arkansaw. His
declination was caused, it is under
stood, by criticisms upon his admins

which passed through his hands.
What this amounts to, or whether he
is at all censurable, remains to be
seen. No open charges are made,

results attained, he said, had only
tended to confirm the belief that the
canal could be opened within six
years from the commencement of the
work of excavation, A great portion
of the geological formation through
which the canal will be made had
been classed as hard rock" " but more
complete surveys have proved that
much Of 1t consists of sand, common

The Orontes, after the soldiers dis
embarkment, will proceed to Port

There is great activity in the
enemy'S lines. Egyptian soldiers,
disguised as Bedouins, carried off ten
cases Of gunpowder from Fort Muk-
bebe, near Mexs. Emissaries from
Arab Pasha have been preaching in
mosques at Mukbebe almost daily. 1t
has been decided, therefore, to oc-
cupy the fort and also the fort COM
manding the road along the shore Of
Lake Mariotis, near which patrols of

The fire here is in the natives

started by incendiaries.

bardment.
ALEXANDRIA, July 27.-An official
telegram from the rebel government at
Cairo, dated yesterday, says the arma-
mont continues on an extensive scale.
Volunteers are arriving from upper
and lower Egypt. Some chiefs Of
Bedouins, who, prior to the lombard
ment, were partisans of the Khedive,
have promised fidelity, and all OF the
best class of Mussulmans, including
the princes and princesses Of the Khe-
dives family, now in Cairo, are aiding
the government. The ladies have
organized committee for the prepar-
alton Of lint.
The British have been defeated
in their engagements, leaving forty
killed.
The Official Gazette publishes a
letter from Arab Pasha, which de
clares that any person found in pos
session of the proclamation diamissing
Arab Pasaa from the ministry, cirou-
lated by the Khedive's emissaries, will
be court martialed. The army will do
its duty, and delend the country TO the
last extremity. If the commercial
and political interests of the powers do
not induce them to stop the British
Invasion, 8 terrible struggle must
eusue. Some Italians, Swiss, Ger
mans and Fren,h remain in the public
administration, and continue to re-
ceive marks of confidence, notwith
standing the British intrigues to de-
populate Egypt.
