Ofcourse the renegade Chiricahuas
are glad to get back to the agency
again and are full of promises TO be-
come ''good Indians" They are
worn out and beaten and there is no
doubt they are really anxious to re-
cuperate and gain strength under the
protecting care of the Government.
But after they shall have been fed a
few months upon agency rations they
will be ready again to seek their old
Businesses in the Sierra Madres and
begin anew their harvest Of death
upon the defenceless settlers of Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. 1t is hoped
the lessons of the past will induce the
Government to place the hostiles
where they can do nc further harm.

AN CAPTURE.

The most important of General
Crooks captures is that of Loco, the
head of the royal family of Mangas
Colorado, and the legitimate chief OF
the Apache nations. 1t is said of
him that in bis earlier life he had
been such a lover of women, peace
and pskerthat the elder braves looked
on him With ill-concealed c~ontenlpt,
and he won the soubriquet "Loco,"
which is a Mexican word signifying
STOOL" All raids were conducted by
Victorio, while Loco played ''ante"
on the reservation. On the death of
Conchise, however, he showed that
he could organize and lead a scalping
party. From that day he gave both
the United States troops and the au-
thsrities of sonora and chihuahua,
Mexico, a great deal of trouble. Be-
ing now in the hands Of the United
States authorities, the fangs of this
murderer should be drawn. We sug-
gest they all he pulled at once. This
can lie done by any ordinary gallows
artist.

A LESSO TAUGHT.

Not long ago several leading east
ern journals entered into an arrange
ment whereby Surgeons Sunday
sermons were cabled to them and
printed the following day. The
venture proved to be an improbable
one to the papers. In fact, it was at
once evident to those who read them
during the few weeks of their publi-
cation here that we have in this
country hundreds of preachers who
are in every way superior to purgeon
of London--who are better reasoners
and theologians, more persuasive,
more learned, more imaginative, and
not less pious or enthusiastic than
S%purgeen. The papers which cabled
Surgeons sermons from London
rendered some service by bringing
this truth home to the American
mind

An exchange remarks that the silly
a has opened and promises to be
unusually severe. The first product
which it has sent forth is a report
that Green b. Raum is a candidate
for the Presidency, and that he is a
greater favorite in Illinois than
Logan. The State of Illinois must be
in a bad way for iavorite sons when it
must make its choice between these
worthless. In this connection it may
be said it does not seem probable that
any serious attempt will be made to
nominate General Grant for the
Presidency next year, and yet if the
elections in the coming autumn and
the proceedings of Congress should
put the Republican party into a des-
perate strait, there is nc telling what
the managers might turn to as a for
lorn hope.

George Hoadley, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio, is a
bright, snappy little man with a
boyish face and a complexion which
almost approaches the color of q ripe
banana. He speaks with a quick,
nervous, emphatic address which de-
notes horsepower and self-reliance.
He seldom INDUCES in liquor, though
he likes a good glass of wine at din
ner. He is an indefatigable worker,
and he takes life too earnestly to be a
good fellow socially. His law part
ner, Edgar Johnson, is depended on
for sociability. Mr.. Hoadley speaks
German fluently and IS a very fair
amateur telegraph operator.

The Situation at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, June 26.-The river is
slowly falling in East st. Louis on
the river side of the Chicago and AL
ton track, and still rising out OF the
bottom east of that embankment.
The fall is small, but it is enough to
create strong hopeful feelings that
the worst is over.
In East st. Louis all lowlands are
Inundated to a depth varying from
ten to twenty feet, and hundreds of
homes within the city limits have
their lower floors flooded, and many
from their second stories. South Of
the city the entire bottom for an in
definite distance, including villages
and other small hamlets, is sub
merged, and all the farms for miles
down the river are under water. The
crops-are destroyed. and the families
of farmers who owned or rented them
are scattered along ridges and bluffs
seeking shelter wherever they can
find it. Many of these poor people
are in a destitute condition.

NEW YORK, June @.-Jln Murray,
Of Providence, "knocked out' in two
rounds Robert Turnbull, OF New
York. The battle lasted but
four minutes and twenty seconds.
Science and Queeusbury rules were
ignored. TurnbullI was knocked
down four times in the first round.
He stood up again, when both
clipched. The referee tried to sepa-
rate them. Shouts Of foul from the
pugilists and the crowd were all
wrong. Hug Murray paid no atten-

General Sherman Unhappy

WASHINGTON, June ga Wash
ington special says: General Sherman
is a very unhappy man. A high ar
my officer who has known him well,
declares he is not what he seems in
his bluff and hearty in: erviews. In
the first place he really hates to give
up his position of head OF the army,
It has been his sole occupation
against melancholy in bitter domestic
disappointment. He is the very life
of certain Washington circles. He
has always been the hero in every So
cial gathering all over the country,
1t is true that he tired of Washing
ton, and that he anxious to 90 to St.
Louis. A soldier still, he puts a good
face on the matter, but this bluffness
does not conceal from his friends the
d~eep-seated chagrin that preys upon
upon him.
The dispatch goes on to say how
disappointed the man was when his
son joined the Jesuits. Mrs. Sher-
man is a woman who has the most
personal ambition for the advance
ment of her church. She is one of
the most active agents and is in co.,
respondence with the authorities at
Rome. General Sherman made a
struggle to remain in Washington
after his retirement from the
army, but Mrs. Sherman determined
to get to st. Louis where the Catho-
Tic church has a wide and powerful
influence, in which she could have
the most influential and LEADING DO
siti0n.
During the last days of his stay in
Washington, the General has been
sen walking with his hat carelessly
slouched over his eyes; the figure
which has been so erect within the
last SIX months has learned to stoOn,
Those who have approached him
with an idea Of his being gloomy,
nave always been repealed with sonic
rattling but brilliant chaff indicative
OF the , highest spirits. When
ne IS settled in st. Louis
Mrs. Sherman believes that
she will win him from the frlyoli-
ties OF this life and get him to find
salvation In the holy Catholic Church.
General is growing old. In the
dull regions of st. Louis he NAV fall
q prey to his wife's persistence. and
Tor the sake of peace 20 through the
torn OF joining the Catholic Church:
put up to the present time Sherman
mas got along without any religion
Whatever. He said recently: II do
hoI think l need any priests crutch
With which to hobble the rest of the
way to the grave, butI can't tell what
may happen in the future" He is
low of on his last free play spell. and
y Is TO be hoped he will have a good
lime on this last round of his military
posts.

Recently several heavy bankers

scented to Governor Crittenden of
that State a very valuable watch and
chain as a testimonial for his interest
in behalf of law and order. The
Governor very sensibly refused the

the donors said: II have done 40

titled to a special testimonial over

State" The Goyernor's example
