A MERCHANT went to his head

A MERCHANT went to his head clerk and said: "John, I owe about S10,000, and all I possess is LOGO, which is locked up Tn the safe. I have been thinking that this is the right time to make an assign ment, but what plausible pretext I can give my creditors I know not. You have plenty of brains; think the matter over, and let me know your decision in the morning" The clerk promised to do so. On entering the office the next morn ing the merchant found the safe open, the money gone and in its place a letter which read as fol lows: q have taken the S4,000 and gone to Canada. It is the best excuse you can give your creditors"

IT is well-known that an Indian called Chalo was the leader of the band that murdered Judge McComas and wife two years ago, and carried off their little son Char lie, from whom nothing has since been heard. The same fiend is now First Sergeant of the Indian scouts operating with Lieut.. Davis, and it is also stated that Bonito, a leading member of the same gang, is with the scouts. Itseems almost incredulous that the mili- tary would tolerate the like, but it shows how insignificant in the eyes of that branch of the govern ment is the life of white civilians.

IT is announced that on next Saturday, the 18th, meetings will be held in many places in this Territory to voice the sentiments of the people on the Indian ques tion. Some of the meetings will no doubt be largely attended, and cannot fail to assure the admins tration that the people of Arizona are fully aroused on a matter of such vital import to their very existence.

 THE false reports which have been telegraphed to the press of Arizona and New Mexico regard ing Indian outrages which never occurred are calculated to do much injury in many ways. Sensa tional rumors seldom accomplish good results, especially in times like these, when the people are excited and nervous. The South west Sentinel, in language forcible and to the point, says: "The coarse-haired, long-fetlocked, ly- ing cur who telegraphedto to North ern papers the horrible details of the Phillips massacre, which never occurred. should be strung twenty four hours by the heels. Such lies harm us more than the actual raid. There is no need to draw on the imagination. The truth is bad enough"

IN the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, made after the war with Mexico, it was stipulated in the eleventh article that the govern ment of the United States would protect the Mexicans along the line of the newly acquired terri tory from the mouth of tine Rio Grande to the Pacific. The treaty is in force to-day, but part of its provisions seem to have been en- tirely ignored.

Comm unication.

On the night of the 3d inst. a band of about twenty-five Indians, after killing old man Ford near Carlisle, N. M., visited Duncan, Ariz., and that night drove and rode off some forty or fifty horses and mules. On the afternoon of the 4th, about 2 o'clock, about twenty-five citizens of Duncan, Clifton and Carlisle, under the leadership of Lane Fisher and w. J. Parks, mounted fresh horses, they having just returned from a scout, and had trailed the Indians from north of Carlisle to Duncan. No time was lost in mounting fresh steeds, so the party left without coats, blankets or provisions, being about eight or ten hours behind the Indians. They followed the trail until night, then left it and circled the mountain range and reached Horse Shoe canon before halting, in advance of the Indians, and by daylight next morning our brave boys, under their leaders, were in their saddles, and circled the mountain range by way of Doubt ful canon, in order to strike their trail in case the Indians had left the mountains, but finding no trail they circled back to Doubt ful canon, just as the Indians were coming out of the mountains, about sundown on the evening of the 9th. The Indians were about 600 yards distant vixen our men first sighted them. When the signal for a charge was made the Indians made a stand and fired back, but our boys continued their charge, firing at the same time, until they approached within POO yards of the Indians, when they fled in the widest dismay, dismountlng and doubling up on the fastest horses. When the Indians fled, they being on the top of a hill, our force divided, going on either side of the hill, and ascended the top and again gave chase, firing at the same time, until they were about mile and a half from where the fight began. Night came on, and the fight ceased, as they could not see to pursue the Indians. Two Indians were seen to fall from their horses during the fight, and were not seen to rise again. In their flight the Indians threw away their provisions, blankets and clothing, and one pappoose about ten months old was found on their trail, which was very bloody, from near the place where the fight commenced. Our boys left immediately after the fight for San Simon station, with five captured horses and mules, a live pappoose and many good blankets and other trophies, with a view of getting fresh horses and pursuing the red devils. Next morning, being unable to get fresh horses, and those they were riding being exhausted, they were compelled to return to Duncan. Our boys feel certain that with two hours more of daylight they could have killed every Indian in the party, being about twenty-five in all, but by morning they were a long way of, as they had some very good stock. The command arrived home at Duncan on the 7th, without the loss of a man, and with one live Indian, which they christened "Doubtful," it being captured near canon by that name. Had the United States army a few such troops and com our Indian troubles would not last long. #**

Readers of the Popular Science
'Aonthiy can be quite sure of their
moneys worth in the May number,
which is full of articles rich in thought,
and information on living questions of
the day. the first paper. "Our Recent
Debts to Vivisection," by William w.
Keen, NJ. D., is graphic account of the
benefits that have been conferred upon
humanity during the last quarter of
century, by means of experiments on
animals. There are no strained con-
structlons in the argument, and the
numerous examples given can not easily
be explained away. The second article,
by Professor W. K. Brooks, is highly
signifcant.answer to the very interesting
question that intelligent people have long
been asking, "Can Man be Modified by
Selection?" DR.. Max Won Pettenkofer's
valuable and timely papers on" Cholera"
end IN this number, with the fourth of
the series, which is mainly devoted to
the subject of prevention Religion
without Dogma" by George lies, is
vigorous protest against the trammels
of theological authority. and an equally
earnest plea for the freedom and en-
lightenment of the religions sentiments.
Methods of Teaching Political Econ

Coal Question:" by G. Gore; and
Training in Ethical Science" by Mr..

the attention of all who are concerned
in the management of the young, and
interested in the subject of educational
improvement. The present installment
of The Chemistry of Cookery" is de-
voted to vegetarianism, which DR.. Will

and Consciousness, by Professor w.
R. Benedict. illustrated, and Arctic
Exploration and it's Object" by Dr.
Franz Boas, are both strong papers in
their respective departments and there
is also an article which is not necessary
to characterize, for it is by Professor
Tyndall, describing the patient labor. the
ingenious methods. and the grand re-
suits of "Pasteur's Researches in Germ
Life" An extremely readable and in
structive article, treating of the anti
Very Old Master" followed by a sketch
of N. Pierre Berthelot, a distinguished
French saUant, close the body of the
number. ''Illiteracy as a Source of

room for large variety in these depart
