The mutability of human affairs
is illustrated by the changed condi-
tions of two notable Blue Grass
Statesmen. Two weeks ago the
Hon. Henry Watterson sat in his
darkened tent-grand, gloomy and
peculiar, breathing out threatenings
against the present rulers in high
places. About the same time the
Hon. Joseph Blackburn, like a
young rooster in early spring,
mounted the top rail of the highest
fence, and cockadoodle-dooed the
merriest crow ever heard in Ken
lucky. But what a change Hen
nv returns from Washington, once
blind, now seeing, and with such
strains of music in praise of the ad-
ministration issuing from his throat
that the blackpirds on the tallest syc-
amores in the Ohio bottoms stop to
listen. Blackburn in the meantime,
connected by wire with the White
House, heard something drop, and
has been seized with his old mania
about walking knee-deep in blood" )"
but this time it is not the "blood of
the Union Soldiers" but of the very
saints whose charms Colonel Wat
terson is now chanting. The situ-
alton is very touching and deeply
instructive,-Iater Ocean.

New ORLEANS, June 4.-Early in
May, Milton L. Mckay, a highly es-
teemeu country gentleman, living
near Leaksville, Miss, was riding to
church, accompanied by his two
boys, when, about three miles from
home an assassin, concealed in the
thick growth by the roadside, empt.
led the contents of a gun loaded
with buchshot into Mr.. McKay's
body, and he fell dead in the buggy.
The boys drove to house in The
neighborhood with the body oftheir
murdered father and gave the alarm.
The woods were searched for .he as
sassin, but without result. Circum-
stances known to the Sheriff caused
him to suspect David T. Fairly, q
neighbor of Mckay, of the murder,
and Fairly was arrested and lodged
in Jail. He stood we'll in the COM
munity, but popular belief in his
guilt was strong Notwithstanding he
earnestly protested his innocence.
Threats of lyrching were made, and
the Sheriff put strong guard over
the Jail. A few days ago Fairly
made application for a writ oi
habeas corpus. This fact become
known, and a band of masked men
! assaulted the Jail at night. over pow
cred the guard after considerable
resistance. and taking Fairly away
hanged him to an oak tree in the
neighborhood.
None of the lynching party is
known, There is great excitement
over the affair. Both Mckay and
Fairly have many friends and rela-
tives in and around Leaksville.

Wanted to Begin Housekeeping.

GALENA, ILL.,, June 4.-In April
1888, Miss Mary Lilly, a respectable
young woman, daughter of Peter
Lilly, of this city, was married to
JOHN Mcmahon, also of Galena, af-
ter an engagement of three years,
the girl refusing to marry her lover
until he had provided a home. The
latter having, it is alleged, assured
Miss Lilly that he was ready to take
her TO home of her own, the mar
riage was performed with considera-
BILE pomp at the Lilly homestead.
Immediately young Mrs. Mcmahon
informed her husband that she was
ready to go to the house he had pre-
pared. Mcmahon coolly said that
he had resorted to a trick to get her,
that he had no house of his own,
and that they must go to boarding.
The newly made wife refused abso-
lutely to live with her husband un-
Ill he procured a home as he had
promised, and the latter left ner
within an hour after his marriage,
since which time they have not liv-
ed together. Mrs. Mcmahon has Just
been granted a divorce by Judge
William Brown. The magistrate
said that the case was one of the
most remarkable ever brought be-
fore him, and that the circumstances
were such that he could not with
hold a divorce from Mrs. Mcmahon,
with the right to resume her mai
den name.

How Cameron Amuses Himself

Angeles county, California, and Just
received, Senator Cameron speaks of
his health as much improved and
thinks if he can only content him.
self until fall he will return to Penn
sylvania greatly restored in strength.
He passes much of his time riding
about the mountains on horseback
and waiting for the arrival of the
stage. The latter seems to be the
great sensation of the dav. He
makes no reference whatever TO pol
itics. The sale of the Senator'S
house in this city for $4,000 did
not include paintings and bric-a-
brac. He will either buy or build a
smaller house, which will not take
so much of Mrs. Cameron's attention

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The fol-
lowing dispatch, dated Whipple
Barracks, Arizona, June 2. has been
received at the War Department
from General Pope:
Captain Smith reports from Gila
river, near Sapino, May 20, that the
Indians are in very rough mountains
north of him, and that Chatto, chief
of the scouts, with 40 of his men,
struck their rear guard and was at
ter them. In another dispatch OF
the 31st, from the same place. he
SAYS the main body of the Indian
women and children are in the
mountains east of Buck creek and
north of Gila; that Chatto aud his
scouts are hunting them and he re-
mains in the vicinity until he nears
from Chatto, and that the day before
Chatto got ponies saddles from the
Indians. He says party is raiding
east of him. A dispatch from Gen
eral Crook at Bayard, yesterday says
they have no definite news from the
scouts or Indians"
In another dispatch to General
Drum, dated San Francisco, June .,
General Pope says: 0
Everything possible is being
done to put a stop to the Indian
troubles in Arizona and New Mexi-
co. Only "a men of the Apaches
have gone off with their women and
children, and are trying to get to
Mexico, killing and taking every
thing that falls in their way. The
difficulty is to overcome or head
them off, but there is a large force
of cavalry after them and it would
seem that they must be caught.
General Crook, who knows more
about these Indians than any other
man, is in the field, and says he
needs no more troops. OF course
the newspaper reports are sensa'
tional and exaggerated and create
unnecessary alarm. No Indians have
left the San Carlos reservation ex.
cept the party above mentioned"

Cattle Ranches.

We have Just received from the
chief of the Bureau of Statistics in
Washington a report in regard to
the range and ranch cattle business
of the United States. The impor-
tance of this branch of American in
dustry is emphasized by figures SO
large that they almost make ones
head swim.
The first statement in the report is
that the cattle ranch area embraces
about 1,365,000 square miles, and
therefore constitutes nearly forty
four per cent. of the total area of the
United States. Onr readers can bet
ter understand its extent when we
say that it is equal to Great Britain
and Ireland. France, Germany, Den
mark, Holland, Belgium, Austria,
Hungary, Italy. Spain and Portugal
and one-fifth of Russia in Europe.
All this territory is devoted to
beef We feed the world. The roast
beef of Old England even comes
from the great West. More than IL
100000 cattle Craze on the green
plains east of the Rocky Mountains,
and there value reaches the snug
little sum of about two hundred mil
lions of dollars. There is hardly a
country on the globe to which these
cattle are not sent, either on the hooi
or nicely packed in cans or laid on
ice. The steaks, the beefsoup, the
hash of all creation are provided by
the picturesque and irrepressible
cowboys who roam the prairies.
