Montana exhibits are concerned.
The legislature Of this Territory made
an appropriation of money to place
Montana minerals on exhibition at
Denver-not at Cincinnati or any,
other place-but at Denver alone. 1t
is hardly probable the command of
the legislature will be disregarded
and a moving show be made of the
valuable specimens from this Terri
tory.
A distinguished London physician,
DR.. J. c. Thompson, says that hui
man strength and skill are of abso-
lutely no use in foaming water,
where the number Of air bubbles is
necessarily so great as to reduce the
gravity Of the water sufficiently to
make it impossible for the strongest
swimmer to support himself. He
thinks If this fact had been known
to Captain Webb that person would
not have attempted his perllOus feat.
Science has its uses, hut it has failed
and ever will fail to deter cranks
from engaging in ~foolhardy enter
prises. Captain Rhodes, a New
York swimmer, is anxious to follow
in the wake of Webb. Now let
some kind friend of the Captain
read to him DIR. Thompson's essay on
the supporting quality of foaming
water and note its restraining effects
upon him. It will require quite as
many policemen to keep him from
making a fool and a corpse of him.

had never heard of the distinguished |
scientist.

Eyes, indeed! There are, as 4 said
awhile ago, from two hundred to
three hundred different works. Many

them all uninteresting. Take the report
of the census, for instance: it covers not
only the population, but every other
conceivable subject, health, wealth, ag-
riculture, mining, manufacture. trade
and many other interesting and valua-
BILE topics. Then, there are the Consul

Spanish LicOrice Root.


Licorice plant grows wild in low land,
moist soil and along rivers and water
courses. The best is to be found in
the vicinity of the river Ebro and in
the neighborhood of Cordova. There
are to be found a great many varieties
of Spanish licorice root, which are
to be distinguished by the color of the
root bark-red, brown or yellow. Some
are fibrous and quite spongy, while
others are as hard as wood. Licorice
is a perfect weed; when once it has got a
foothold it is next to impossible to get
rid of it. Every three or four years sun
dry trenches are dug and every root ex-
posed, pulled out as far as possible, un-
til it breaks; after couple of years a
small stem appears, carrying white flow
ers in spring. The root can only be col
lected from September to March, since
that is the only time of the year when
the sap is found in the root. 1t is ex-
ported chiefly from Sevilla, Alicante.
Barcelona and Bilboa. The crop, and
consequently the price of icorice root.
depends on several seemingly irrelevant
circumstances. That hard winter in
fluences the crop is natural enough, but
the price paid for it is so low that the
collection of the root is only done when
nothing better in the way Of earning
money offers, entirely regardless Of the
abundance of the root.-Pharm ZeH. -

Blanc. Ten years ago an Italian NAVY,
who had been working on the railway
then in course of construction, was
tried for manslauShter, the witness who
was mainly instrumental in securing
his conviction being peasant belong
ing to the village of Cheval- Blanc. The
navy was sentenced to ten years penal
servitude, and on leaving the dock he
declared that, when he had served his
time he would come back and take his
revenge. About a fortnight ago he re-
appeared in the village, and meeting
the wife of the peasant, told her that
she might consider her husband dead
man. She at once gave information to
the gendarmerie of his presence in the
district, but he eluded the search made
for him, and made his appearance at
the farmhouse inhabited by the peas
ant early on Sunday morning. The
man was still in bed, and when he
looked out of the window and recog-
njzed the Italian he took up a gun
which he kept by his bedside and fired
two shots, killing his would be murderer
ON the spot. The Italian was armed
with a revolver and a long knife.

s'PUB. DOCS"

The mail cars leaving Washington are
burdened every day with public dOcu-
ments, and every Congressman as he
leaves the city pays one last visit to the
"folding-room at the Capitol to see
how his documents are getting Off The
entire force in the folding-room is busy
as busy can be, and quantities of the

post-office owing to the inability of the
authorities to furnish mail cars in which
to carry them off as fast as they are
mailed. The fact is, impossible as this
may appear, the amount of this kind Of
matter now furnished by order of Con-
gressmen for Transportation through the
mails is more than a carload day.
BY a carload is meant twenty thousand
pounds. There are" said Superin-
tendent Robinson, of the House folding
room, in speaking of the subject to-day,
"there are sent from our folding-room
to the post-office every day, now, about
two hundred sacks of these documents

all subjects that the Government Printer
has been ordered to discourse upon"
''And what do these two hundred
sacks weigh apiece?''

AN APACHE SCALP.
A Band OF Fifteen, Warriors Defeated by
Two Brave Messengers.
Tombstone, A. T., Epitaph.

Tombstone, A. T., EpttGph.
Yesterday afternoon Charles Wood, of s.
noquipe, Sonora, and formerly in the employ
of the Santa Maria Mining company as mes-
senger, arrived from Sonora, bringing with
him the scalp-lock of an Apache brave, who,
In company with two other red devils, was
killed in an engagement in Sonora on the
second of April, in which Woods bore very
conspicuous part. An Epitaph reporter in
terviewed Mr. Woods and learned the fol-
lowing particulars of the eventful battle !:
On Sunday, April /, Charles Woods and
Joseph Frisbie, an ex-messenger of the San
Augustine Mining company, started from the
Santa Maria mine for the Cumpas river about
seventy-hve miles distant. When about
half way to their destination, while riding
slowly through rocky pass, five Apaches
Suddenly sprang from the rocks skirting
each side Of the canyon and opened a murder
GUS fire on the unsuspecting travellers. In an
instant both men sprang from their horses
and secreted themselves behind large boulders
and prepared to give battle. AT their first
fire two of the Apaches wore seen to throw
up their hands and pitch wildly forward
only to be picked up by their remaining com
rades and taken to safe retreat. The noise
of the battle attracted the rest of the band
who, to the number OF ten, rushed down T.
the surrounding hills, firing as they came.
One savage was feeter than tho rest and
came in about 100 yards in advance of the
rest of the band. When within about twenty
yards Of Woods place of concealment the
latter raised up suddenly, and taking careful
aim with his pistol, he having exhausted the
ammunition in his rife, fired and struck the
Apache in his breast. The Apache gave one
whoop, and with u last effort sprang in the air
and fell within u few feet of Woods who
rushed out and dragged tho body in behind
the rocks before the band could recover from
their surprise. In tho meantime Frlsbie had
worked his way higher up on the hill, and so
effective was his fire that the Indians were
unable to mako a combined attack. About
thirty shots were fired by each after tho
capture Of the Indian, but the red devils were
compelled to retreat leaving the dead body
of their comrade in the hands Of the two
brave men, After recuperating for some
time Woods carefully removed the scalp-lock
Of the fallen foe and brought it TO this city
yesterday, as related above, and presented It
to Harry Queen, in whose popular saloon it
now is. Hundreds have viewed it, and as it is
the first Apache scalp that has been brought
to this city during the present campaign, it
will be of interest for some days to come.
