The Arizona Globe Chronicle says:
Three young Chiricahua Indians, gradu-
ates OF the Government school at Carlisle,
PENNSYLVANIA, have recently arrived at
San Carlos. They are sent there by Gen.
Armstrong to show what sort of ''lnjun"
civilization can turn out. They are
dressed in the very latest style of Eastern
clothes, wear high collars, derby hats and
carry canes; and as was intended, we
suppose, made a profound sensation
among their barbarous brethren. That
the training they have received has civil.
lied them, and that their reasoning powers
have been fully developed, is evidenced
by the fact that they demand that their
names be placed on the Government pay
roll and to draw their salaries without
doing any work. Is it possible for any
man-white, black or red-to show
greater intelligence than this? We trust
Colonel Beaumon-he has the reputation
Of being very stern man-will not be
too severe on his Indian DUDES.

A MUSICAL Owl. The Rev. Leonard
Jenyns, author of observations of Ma
tural History" tells an owl story. He
knew q tame owl that was so fond Of
music that he would enter the drawing
room of an evening, and perch on the
shoulders OF one of the children, listen
with great attention to the piano forte,
holding his head first on one side and then
on the other, after the manner of connois.
seurs. One night, suddenly spreading
his wings, as if unable to endure the rap
ture any longer, he alighted on the keys,
and, driving away the fingers Of the per-
former with his beak, began to hop about
the keys himself, apparently in great de-
light with his own execution. This plan
ist was born in the woods Of Northum-
berland. and belonged to friend OF the
relater of the story.

Even COW hair has its commercial uses.
The dealers who purchase this curious
commodity from the tanners first "blow'
the hair by peculiar process, which
separates the long hairs from the short
ones. The long hairs are then woven
into fabric with other material which,
upon completion, becomes the genuine
''all wool" blankets presented by Uncle
Sam to the Indians. The shorter hairs
are worked into felting. The average
price OF COW hair is four cents pound,
but white cows hair is worth eleven cents
pound.

TIE SECRET OUT.
stephen y. Field the Restdugry Le-
Catee of Tilden.

The following article is taken from the
San Francisco Daily Report. We do moi
express any opinion in the matter but
publish it entire. H. is very interesting
reading:
At last che secret is out. Stephen j.
Field is the residuary legatee OF Samuel
J. Tilden. Mr.. Tilden's interest in the
Presidential nomination was decided to
Justice Field months ago. All that Dir.
Tilden said in favor Of other candidates
was blind in behalf of Stephen J.
Field. Hence the delay of Mr.. Tilden
in writing his final and preemptory letter
of declination, or, to be more precise,
hence the delay in its delivery. State
after State, convention after convention,
pronounced for the old ticket. and it was
moi until public suspicion became thor
oughly aroused that the favorite candi.
date of the Democracy gave his final and
decisive answer to the public. In de.
cl;ning to become candidate Mr.. Tilden
did not surrender his interest in the
nomination. That interest he held to be
of paramount importance and OF his
right. That interest he conveyed to
Stephen ]. Field. The deed of delivery
has not gone upon the record for obvious
reasons. But in due time it will be re.
corded. The talk about other Demo.
cratic candidates was allowed to run on
like babbling brook and is still heard
the length and breadth of the land. The
rank and file imagine that the choice OF
the National Democratic Convention is
still matter Of doubt. The Report be-
lieves to the contrary and is clearly OF
the opinion that the winning candidate
before the convention will be Stephen j..
Field.
A member OF the Report STAFF held an
interview with prominent local Demo.
crat to-day and the leading features OF
the interview are given below:
R.-Anything new?
p. d. should say there was. 1t is
q settled fact that Stephen J. Field will
be the Democratic nominee for President.
You look surprised. That is because
you do not understand the real situation.
R.-What is the real situation:
P. D.--The Tilden votes are for Field.
That is the direction Tilden will swing
his influence. Every delegation with the
exception of those from California and
Texas is so strongly for Tilden that he
can deliver it to Field. Now, mark lmy
words, Field will be nominated and
elected.
R.-How elected,
P. D.-Field will carry the Solid
South-that is l53 votes. He will carry
New York, So votes; he will carry New
Jersey, 9 votes; he will carry Connect

hour of the day or night. The first OK.
pedition was elaborately planned. great
many days and great many dollars
having been expended in preparation,
bnt it didn't come off because, on the
night arranged for, raging blizzard
was in progress. The second
attempt was even more disastrous. Two
slelgh leads started. just over the north.
ern bluff second blizzard met them
and the horses refused to face it. SO
they came back and telephoned
their regrets to the doctor. But
the same lndomitable spirit which
had prompted the first effort pre-
vailed and early last evening, there being
plenty. Of snow and q scarcity of biz
zard, ono large sleigh load of faithful
leap yearites started for the asylum.
Half way out one of the runners of the
sleigh struck stone, the pole snapped
off short and there they were. stranded
on the bleak prairie. They all got out
and walked mile to the asylum, where
they found the doctor. surprised him
and had good time. Pluck wins.
