IT is gratifying to learn that the Apache
warriors captured by General Crook during
his recent short and decisive campaign, are
not to be turned loose again on the Govern
ment reservation. To be alternately feeding
and fighting these blood-thirsty savages is a
farce which it is quite time to bring to close
We are not prepared TO say with General
Sherman that there are no good Indians
but dead Indians but certainly there ap-
pears to be no good Indians of the Apache
tribe, and the Government should treat them
as it would any other band of eut-throats and
outlaws. When they once understand that
no sentimental clemency can be expected at
the hands of the Great Father they viii
perhaps choose the comforts of the reserva-
ton in preference to the rigors of a prison

II is to be supposed that young Nntt, who,
at Uniontown, Pa, last week, took such a
terrible revenge for the murder of his father
and the betrayal Of his sister, viii ultimately
be set at liberty, for it is scarcely likely, in
view of the fact that Dukes was allowed to
90 UNPUBLISHED, that jury can be found to
convict him, but it is certainly greatly to be
regretted that the authority Of the law should
thus be twice set aside. There has been an
alarming increase, of late, in the number of
these family yenGettas, and it cannot be
otherwise than thai the impunity with
which crimes of this character are committed
will give still greater license to the display
of human passion. Ahortiye as the MA
chinefy Of the courts often proves for the
punishment of crime, it is better that the
gallews should be occasionally cheated of
its prey than that the execution of the law
should be confded to the individual men,
bers of a community whose sense of Justice
is always liable to be warped by personal
hatred and the thirst for revenge The
number of cases in which men have been
lynched for crimes of which they were inno-
cent, is alone sufficient reason for reproba-
ting the disposition which is manifested on

THE British government has succeeded
in procuring the conviction of the dyna-
mite conspirators who planned, in the
berry seclusion of the New York Bowery,
the destruction of the United Kingdom, or q
portion thereof, and they have been SEN
fenced to penal servitude for life. Consider
ing What poor specimens Of conspirators
these gentlemen were-how clumsy their
contrivances, awkward their management,
and inconsequential their operations it
may seem like dignifying them beyond
their deserts to transport them for life, but
the citizens of London viii unquestionably
sleep the sounder for their absence. Mean
while, it will be of interest to see what
effect their fate viii have upon the ardor of
their co-conspirators in the Bowery. Per-

full text of the letter addressed by the very
Rev.. VIM. John Hamilton, the kind-hearted
priest of Andersonville, to Department Com
mander Shaw. of Maine, acknowledging the
receipt of the handsome testimonial voted
by the last Maine Eneampment in recOgni-
ton of his humane ministrations to the un-
fortunate men who were confined in that
loathsome prison pen. Says Father Hamil-
ton, I saw nothing there but despair, suf
fering, and neglect, and being a man myself
naturally felt interested in everything
that concerned humanity" His memory is
evidently much better than that of the Gov
ernment, which has all too quickly forgot
ten the despair and suffering and neglect to
which its brave defenders were subjected in
these prison bells of the South.

Mathews the Elder, being in Shrews-
bury one assize time, turned into Court
for an hours amusement. He had not
been there many minutes when an
usher put a note in his hand running:
Judge Park hopes that Mr.. Mathews
will come and sit by him."
Threading his way through the crowd
the grati6ed comedian mounted the
Judgment seat, and humbly, yet proud
ly, took the place awardei him. The
judge shook him cordially by the hand,
put the trial on before him and a packet
of sandwiches at his elbow, and made
him altogether comfortable. Two or
three years afterward Mathews was
staying with his friend Rolls and over
the wine and walnuts the latter asked
the actor if he had met Justice Park
somewhere, aquestion setting Matthews
in such praise of the Judge that Rolls
could not keep from laughing AMI 30
raising suspicion. -
Ibid he say anything about me?'
queried Mathews.

A boom IN Boxing.

John L. Sullivan, reduced to eighteen
inches in clay, stands prominently IN
the window of a New York store and
threatens to knock out all corners with
a pair of miniature white kid boxing
gloves, with red gauntlets. The interest
lent to smuggling by the efforts of Sulli-
van, Slade, Mitchell and others, has
made a boom in boxing gloves.
ssThis is the season. the salesman
said, when we have the greatest sale.
The weather is better for the violent
exercise of sparring, and the young ath-
letes have more time for INDUCING in it.
Boating and many other out door sports
are dra wing to q close, and the gymna-
Sums are opening for the winter. The
frequenters of them also buy gloves for
home use, and do a great deal of prac-
ticing when the other boys are not
around. Learners have gloves at home
too, for they don't like to spar in the
gymnasium without knowing a little
about the art" 1888
us there much variety in the quality
of the gloves?"
Considerable. Wehave gloves that
cost. 81. 50 per set, gloves which cost IS
and gloves at intermediate prices. The
variation in rates depends on the cover
ing of the glove and the material with
which it is stuffed. The S. gloves are
made of fine white kid aud are stuffed
with the best quality oil curled hair. If
anything, they are a little softer than
the others and are very strong in the
seams. The cheaper gloves are made
of channels, and are also stuffed with
hair, but not Of such good quality as
that in the s. gloves. They are stuffed
with imitation hair, and are covered
with a very poor kind or channels,
which is likely to tear. The seams are
not well sewn together, and half a dozen
hot rounds would be likely to knock
them all to pieces"
sAre any gloves covered with buck
skim"
81 have seen them, but they are not
common. A good set of buckskin box
ing gloves would cost at least ten dol
lars"
'What gloves seem the most popu-
lar?"
"Gloves which cost SIS per set. You
see, there are four gloves in a set, so
that they are not very dear. Two or
three lads often club together and buy a
set, for one can't very well spar by him
SELF"
'.Are gloves made especially for
boysp"
Eyes. The gloves that I told you
cost $50 a pair are boys gloves. They
are a little smaller than mems gloves.
The cheapest mems gloves we sell cost
So per Set"
"Are many gloves sold in the ooun-
tryf"
"A great many. You see the Sulli-
van, Slade, and other combinations
travelling through the country towns
give the country lads the sparring
craze. Then they must have boxing
gloves. A string of orders for gloves
comes from the route taken by the com.
binations."
"Are not the kid boxing gloves likely
to get hard or rough when blood
from the noses Of the sparrers stain
them?"
Ordinarily they would. The kid
used in the best gloves, is so prepared
that they can be washed, and they will
dry without hardening or shrinking.
If blood stains them, they a be
placed under the hydrant, and when
they are dried they are as good as
ever"

Paper out OF Moss.
" weeks since, as was announced

" weeks since, AS was announced
at time, the State Department at
Wa ngton received a report from
Consul Guade, of Christiana, relative
to the use of the white nos found in
Norway and Sweden for making paper.
A factory in Sweden was in the course
of construction for manufacturing the
moss into paper and pasteboard, and
other factories are to be built in Nor
way. The report stated that the living
plant was not to be used, but the moul-
dering remains of the moss, of which
immense quantities may be obtained i'll
the countries named. Specimens of
paper made from this material, of diff
ferent t~hicknesses, and pasteboard in
sheets three-quarters of an inch thick,
have been produced. These specimens
are very strong, and superior to the
material manufactured from wood, y
can be painted or polished, and used
for many purposes as a substitute for
wood.
This discovery may lead to important
results. Paper made solely from wood
pulp is not strong enough, and the fibre
of cotton waste or cotton or linen raps,
is necessary to give the paper firmness.
Moss has more fibre than woodland it is
strong. 1t appears that the remains of
the fibres of moss which has decayed
are used in Sweden. Nature has pre-
pared the material, to 3 considerable
extent. for the mill, by sloughing off
the soft and watery portions, leaving
the strong, thread-like veins or hbres
ready for use. But when this moul-
dering material is exhausted, the APP
pliances for reducing wood to paper
pulp, the steaming and bleaching pro-
cesses, with proper Improvements, will
undoubtedly be brought to bear upon
the living plant, and serarate the use
less portions from the 6bres. There
may not be any NOES i'll this country
suitable for making paper, though there
are large quantities of moss in Florida,
and whether the prepared material from
the moss of Sweden and Norway could
be imported to advantage, for strength
ening and improving the wood paper
manufactured here, may be question
able. Twenty per cent. of moss with
eighty per cent of wood would probably
produce a strong paper, When, a few
1Cdi0 olutCN oVON pup 70" AS%S~NSNN
into the manufacture of paper, few
people believed that it would attain
much success. But woods nov mainly
relied upon, and the number of wood
pulp mills has been doubled in the past
two years. Most of the book paper is
now made of materials of which wood
forms much the largest part. Straw is
used for the cheapest grades of paper;
It is not so good as wood. Undoubted-
ly other materials, grasses or plants,
will eventually be brought into use in
the manufacture of paper, and probably
some of them will be cultivated with
profit by the farmers. There are coarse
grasses and creeping vines that may
possibly have the fibre essential to the
manufacture of strong paper. One in
vention or one discovery leads to another
and it may be reasonably assumed that
the variety Of materials used in paper
took will ere long be increased.
