LAND AND HAYES, who have a large band of cattle on Babacomari creek, at the old McGarry sheep ranch, saw, and counted twenty-seven Apache warriors within half mile of their ranch, last week; they were on the move, going south Tn the direction of the Huachuca mountains. $. B. Clark who has just retIrned from Tombstone via Total Wreck, on horseback, run d very narrow escape, on Friday last. He was riding leI,urely along the road, when his horse startled; looking back be saw an ,Apa- che well mounted approaching him in the rear; he at once wheeled his horse around facing the Indian snd got his Winchester ready, when the savage gave an uDearthly yell and disappeared in the hills. Not being in good gunshot, and not knowing but others were near, MT. Clark did not waste his ammunition, but made for the Empire ranch as fast as his horse, which was an in different one, would carry him. Indi- aus have been seen from time to time in that locality, ever since the murders were committed at the coal camps and Whetstone mountains. It would be well for General Crook to turn hls at tention to the protection of settlers Tn that locality, winch Is within eight miles Fort Huachuca. We can say to the General that the existence of Indians there Is not based upon idle rumors. We have known Mir. Clark from boy hood up, and know him to be truthful and reliable. The Indians shot some of the best cows on Land and Hayes ranch, but took only a few pounds of beef from the animals. Several rsDch- men on the west end of the Huachucas have abandoned their ranches, and left theIr stock at the mercy of the Apaches. It is high tune some protection should be furnished them.

ABOUT a year ago the Chronicle, a New York insurance journal, published a record of suicides in the United States for the year 1882, and the number re- ported was S17. The same paper has just published like record for the twelve months ending March, 1883, and the number of cases reported Is 10O6 Th- increase is supposed to be chiefly due to greater care taken in gathering reports. Contrary to the usual belief the number of suicides from love troubles do not lead ID the list; sum of the causes Is as follows: Family troubles, IF; sickness, 15S; insanity, 156; dissipation, 13l; business trouble, l27; love troubles, l09; despondency, 62. Further tables given by the Chronicle show that about four males commit suicide where one female does, which should be conclusive proof that the fe- male sex bear up under misfortunes bet ter than men. It is also shown that suicides are more common among Ger mans than other nationalities.

In accordance with the original pro-
gramme, key of beer will be tapped after
the game at the residence of Capt. Louis
Wild, and all the base ball players on the
field will be invited to bear hand in dis
posing of the beverage.
The Rapides players did not hold their
expected meeting last Sunday to consider
the Nolan challenge, as the Gilt Edge club
went to Cheyneville to play the Merry
Makers. A notice has been published re-
questing the members of the Gilt Edge and
Golden clubs to meet at Alexandria to-mor-
row for the purpose of taking some action
in regard to picking out nine to play the
Nolan Base Ball Club of Donaldsonvilie, -
and this language indicates that the Don
aldsonville challenge will be accepted.
In the Gilt Edge and Merry Makers game,
just referred to, the champion Gilt Edge
club met with another defeat, the score
standing 20 to IL in favor of their oppo-
nents, only; six innings being played. 1t
should be noted, however, that the regular
pitcher, catcher and first baseman of the
Gilt Edge team were absent.
At Natchitoches, Sunday before last, the
Osceolas and the Eclipse mines had closely
contested game, the score standing II to Is
in favor of the former club.

Base BALL.-The Viguet nine, accompa-
MED by several other young gentlemen
from Plaquemine, arrived here per Sunday
mornings train and were escorted to the r.
| e. Lee Hotel by delegation of the Nolan
club. After partaking of breakfast, the
| visitors whiled away a few hours walking
about town and calling upon their Donald
sonvine acquaintance. At half past
o'clock they took dinner, and an hour later
the players of the Viguets and Nolans
marched together from the hotel to the
Nolan Square, where Mr.. Gabriel Cardinal
was selected as umpire, and the afternoons
game began at 3 o'clock with the Nolans at
the bat, the. visitors being accorded the
choice of innings. We append the score
by innings:
N NSa;.nT s...,.d / 3 2 2 ! IL II
Scorer. McCulloh.
Umpire-Gab. Cardinal.
Time of game-1 hour, as minutes.
Although the Viguets have improved their
nine by the acquisition of two excellent new
players, and did very pretty fielding through
out, they were weak at the bat and seemed
unable to contend against Tearney's deceit
full little curve. The Nolans played in a
way that justified the expectations of their
most enthusiastic admirers and had it not
been for two unfortunate wild throws in the
third and last trimmings, their opponent would
probably have received an pnbroken line of
"goose eggs" Like all the previous con-
tests between the Viguets and Nolans, this
game passed off very pleasantly, and was
greatly enjoyed by all the participants. The
Iberville boys are all thorough gentlemen
and can bear the chagrin of defeat with
as much good nature as they do the laurels
of victory. The umpiring of Mr.. Gardemal
was quite satisfactory, and he was not for
gotten when the usual cheering was INDUCED
in after the game. The Viguets had ample
time to return to the hotel, change their
handsome new blue uniforms for their Or
binary apparel and reach the depot in good
time for the evening train. We hope their
visit was a pleasant one in every sense and
that it will be frequently repeated during
the current base ball season. The Nolans
have promised to go to Plaquemine shortly
to play return game, and we know our
boys will look forward to the trip with
agreeable anticipation.
Tomorrow the deferred game between
the picked mines known as the Teutonics
and Cosmopolitans will be played on the
Nolan grounds, and those who admire the
sport should not fail to be on hand, as the
contest will undoubtedly be an interesting
one. The mines will be composed as fol-
lows.

Our section is being visited by the local
showers so common to this season of the
year and although the general opinion is
that agricultural interests would be bene-
fitted by less frequent applications of mois-
ture, we hear of no serious damage result
ing therefrom. In fact there would be
scarcely any ground for complaint but for
the fact that the numerous rainfalls have
interfered with the work of blowing and
allowed the grass to get too great start.

| IHE LEcTURE.-A large and brilliant au-
| dience assembled at Phoenix Hall, last
| Monday evening, to listen to the address of
Hon. VIM. Porcher Miles, who accepted the
| invitation of the Guild of Ascension to de-
| liver lecture for the benefit of the Charity
| Hospital building and sewerage fund. The
| Independent Band was in attendance and
entertained the audience with music until
| the arrival of the lecturer. Mr.. Miles
reached town at an early hour, but by an
! unfortunate oversight had left his manu-
script at home, and it was half past 9before
the messenger dispatched to bring the
| packet had returned. At this hour Mr..
Miles entered the hall and assembled the
| stage accompanied by the officers of the
Guild, DIR. A. G. Love, Capt. R. p. Landry,
Revs. R. S. Stuart and M. Eisenberg. DIR.
Love thanked the audience for their re-
spouse to the effort of the Guild to aid
worthy cause, and in felicitous terms intro
duced the distinguished lecturer, who was
greeted with hearty applause.
Mr.. Miles then proceeded to read an ad-
mirable lecture on the subject, Chow to
make life worth living" and the treatment
of the theme evidenced the finished scholar
and profound thinker as did the delivery of
the address the accomplished orator and
elocutionist. The venerable appearance,
fine voice and graceful gestures of the
speaker, coupled with the beauties and elo-
quence of his reasoning and argument,
made the lecture highly interesting and no
better proof of the fact could be desired
than the frequent applause with which the
finer flights and points of the discourse were
received. The position assumed by the
speaker was that it is not to riches or fame
we must look for happiness on this earth
and reward hereafter, but that the true way
to make life worth living is to preform
fearlessly" and faithfully every duty that
presents itself before US. Stonewall jack
son and Robert E. Lee were cited as shin
ing examples for the emulation of the ris-
ing generation in this respect.
At the conclusion of the lecture DR.. Love
again thanked the audience for their at
tendance, euloSlZlng the Ghaflty Hospital
and the virtues of charity and benevolence
in glowing terms, and announced as the
closing item of the evenings programme
the rendition of 'sHome, sweet home" by
the band
Rev. r. S. Stuart has furnished us the
subjoined statement of the amount realized
from the lecture.
