tion of them. But TIE CRITIC would like
TO know ifSheridan really used the word

D. ought to know, but THE CRITIC has al.

are pushed Lee will surrender" and Grant
replied: 'Push things" Now General B
puts it more digninedly: "If the thing IL

A long residence in Washington and in

to speak on this question with authority.
And we have no hesitation is saying that
in point of honesty and faithful devotion
to their duties the Government clerks in
this city have no superiors in any walk Of

There are ladies in the Departments here

A GENEROUS SOUL.

A Democrat was heard to remark within
the past week: well, there will be one
| satisfaction. Murdoch will be down and
out, and the EAGLE will be weakened The
gentleman who made the remark and the
one remarked about came TO this valley the
same spring The latter brought twice as
much money with him as the former. The
one put his money into a printing Office and
INTO home. The other gentleman put hi
money into cheap lots and lands, since which
time he has never done anything for the
town or county. He simply put in his time
waiting for others to make his property vail
liable, and to-day he is rich man. The
other still possesses his home and his interest
in the printing office, both increased little
in value. and that is all. But there is this
difference; one has lived such selfish life
that his own party would not be brought TO
consent that he should have even the post
Office, while the editor of the EAGLE has
bent all his tho lghts and energies in assisting
Others to develop the greatest county and
the proudest city in the state. 1t may be
foolish in us, but We would rather have the
respect and confidence of this people, and
the reflection that we have been AN humble
instrument in aiding to bring about such
great results. than to have all the money and
property of the man who exulted over our
seeming calamity.

BLOODY ARRAY AT Caldwell

Mr.. David Hays, who returned from the
Indian Territory on Sunday, gives US some
of the particulars of horrible affair al
Caldwell, in which an unofiending mans
life was ruthessly and inhumanly taken. A
cowboy who bad fifty or sixty dollars, but
who wanted to send it home, applied to q
store for suit of clothes on trust until he
could get some more money. He was re-
fused, and being in liquor he became some
what abusive in his talk. The proprietor
thereupon called in the city marshal and
his assistant, who, as soon MS they entered
the door, told the man to throw up hi,
hands. Not responding, the marshal shot
him through the BODY. He fell to his knees
when the assistant marshal demanded thai
he throw up his hands. The man probably
then being incapable Of doing so, the assist
ant shot him through the head, killing him
instantly. Such work is simply horrible

For the EAGLE)
Mystic bond, centuries crown

From your ranks valued brother
Is not lost but has gone before.
Linked by ties in death unbroken,
Still, much his absence you deplore.
Though closed the eye whose kindly beam
Gave pleasure to your honore3 band,
And quiet lies the active form,
Cold the heart and still the hand,
Still united by mystic tie
May your influence as bulwark stand,
Ever ringed about the land
And when mortality hath peri shed,

In His temple vast, eternal,
In that L Jdge more grand aud fair,
Those who part here ION the level''

ABOUT TOWN.

What q contrast our streets presented yes
terday to what they did last week. From
The rich autumnal tints of our outrageous
.lms and naples, from the mellow charms
Of IA glorious Indian summer, we were sud-
denly ushered into the rigors of winter with
scarcely leaf to be seen. Business of all
kinds, except the fuel trade, was almost at a
standstll. Very few people were to be seen
on the street, none being out for pleasure at
any rate.
The news gatherer was compelled to
invade stores and offices to ascertain If any
body bad anything that would interest the
public The usual crowd was conspicuously
absent from the corner of Main street and
Douglas avenue, and the only crowd any
where TO be found was in the cosy precincts
of the postofiice. Those met on the street
reminded one of the song of the Laplander,
"With blue cold nose and wrinkled brow
they I'LL appeared to be in hurry.
A gentleman from New York, who had
been badly meshed on the weather last week,
repeatedly urged the reporter to write a
glowing description Of this country with
particular reference to the weather, and that
be would send number of the papers back
east. The scribe was too busy to do it then,
out felt that he could spare a little
time on it yesterday. He met the
man from the Empire state, and inquired
how about ;he weather article? The New
Yorker though! it might be just rs well not
write about it just now.
In his preambulations the scribe found
that II. b. Keller had gone to Topets; that
80 car loads of freight for this city had ar
rived at the Santa Fe depot; that the detect
I'VE whom j. I. Morgan captured on Satur-
day was turned loose, there being no charg-
es made az ainst him; that the police cour,
lid no business, and that the police judge
was sick after noon, did not learn what
made him sick, but feel safe in saying it was
not the heat.
In desperate straits for items the reporter
ventured across the river and found several
wagon loads of emigrants "tenting on the
Id camp ground" Among them was an
| ,ntideluvium looking genius from southeas,
Missouri, with long grizzly hair and a
'parce colony of iron gray stubles scattered
