We are informed that officers of Gen. Crooks command are dissatisfied with his management of the campaign, and that one, at least, and one of the most efficient of the number, rather than to be longer made to appear ridi- culous by the futile direction of his inefficient commander, contemplates severing his connection with army. We are not surprised that such a feel ing should exist. The officers and men have been most asGiduous in their endeavors to terminate this Indian war which has been so destructive of the best interests of Arizona, New Mexico and Sonora, and which is car ried on, on the part of the Chircahuas, with as much vigOr and fierce deter imitation as at any time since its inauguration four months ago. Crooks policy" to take no prisoners IS well understood by the raiding h. dians and therefore, it is no wonder that they will fight to the bitter end. Crook is to blame for the inauguration of the bloody scenes that has horrifed the country since the 17th of May, as he is for the prolongation of the con- test.

 The SILVER BELr correspondent 'sJ H. H., in an article relating to mat tors at the front, published in that pa. per Sept 12th,, makes the following reference to our distinguished fellow townsman; "Ex,Mayor stranss, of Tuseon, who wrote the Crook editorials in the Star, and as areward was made, what tho military please toeall trader in the field, " is dispensing bad liquor to.thesoldiers at San Bernardinoranch. He runs saloon, that is about all his trading amounts to"
 F We were aware that the ex-Mayor wrote the articles referred to, and also that he was the author of certain specials" which were afterwards shown to be wholly unreliable, but the idea never occurred to us that either one or tho other had imposed upon Gen1 Crook. To be sure, many persons have wondered what influence secured Mir Strauss the position of trader in the field, and in the ab. sence of better theory may be dis l posed to accept that of"J. H. H. We | do not, however, believe it; it is too | small game for such big gun,
 Very few indeed know the real cause of ex-Mayor Strauss presence at the front, and now that an attempt has been made to place him in false light before the public, we feel callsd upon to say that his mIssion there is for the purpose of counseling and ad- visiug General Crook regarding mill tary movements against the Apaches, Not being an officer of the army our ex-Chbsf Magistrate had to catch on somewhere in order to "cover' bis real purpose. What better "blindn could be adopted than trader in tbe fald2' This is the whole secret, and "J Il. H. :" 1 had he been as shrewd as he would 1 have us believe, would have dropped 1 to it and been less unfair.
 I General Crook remains at Fort Bowie while his special Tucson Aide | filts between that Post and San Ser. nardino ranch, where he assumes tue guise of strader in the field, fills him. self with reliable information regard ing the situation in the Sierra Madres and occasionally trips back to Bowie where General Crook is supposed to be impatiently awaiting his coming, and relieves the commanding officers sus, pense and deep sense of responsibility by his wise counsels and suggestions
 Some good work has been done du, ring the campaign, the credit foi winch the public has bestowed upon General Crook and other military of fcers. The error was quite natural and therefore excusable, because tht position of Field Marshal Strauss ha. not been understood. Now, however that it has been disclosed, and in view of his extreme modesty and retiring disposition, it is to be hoped that h, will in future receive full credit fol his masterIy generalship.

We copy the following from the Headlight of the 18th Inst:
 The Indians attacked the Noon Day camp at 11;3O this morning and cap tured six head of stock, destroying the saddles and burning the entire camp outfit, including cabins, tents, etc, while T. E. Fitzpatrick, George Sbry- ack and Casey were only about twelve hundred feet away. Peter Kinney was shot through the ear, and the men narrowly escaped with their lives, Saturday, at midnight the reds still held the camp. Lieutenant Gaston has been notified at Hillsboro, but Captain Fotohet has ordered him to the Mimbres. There are no soldiers on the east side of the range now, i. e., in that vicinity. It is presumed that the soldiers are safe, as they had an escort of Hillsboro citiaens-Deming Headlight.

 It is now beyond question that Gs- ronimo, the Chlricahua chief, whose death was reported and telegraphed over the associated wires is still living and as vigorous and full of fight as the day on which he severed friendly relations with General Crook, He was last heard of, at his old camp, near Fort Apache, whither he had gone for the purpose of recovering possession of his two squhws, taken some months since by Mesc43ero Indians and sur rendered by tl!eta to Gen. Crook and all that IS nov: left of them to the Gen. eral is their Eoccasin tracks in tho sand. v;

The mission of General Miles to Fort Bayard is unknown, but it is thought that it had something to do with the campaign against the In- dians, It is beginning to leak out that the war department is not very highly pleased with tho conduct of General Crook, and it IS possible that General Miles has been sent down here to lock into matters and report to the department It is time that something was done toward inyestiga- ting the conduct of General Crook since the outbreak of the Apaches four months ago.--Deming Headlight,
 lis strange that the Rip Van Wrinkle Secretary of War should, after four months of unremitting and un. restrained murder and pillage of eiti- gems of New Mexico, Arizona and Sonora by Chiricahua Indians, come to the conclusion that Gen, Crook Is q failure. It may, however, be that the Headlight is | little off" in crediting the Secretary of War in having dis cerned the bloody tsail and that CI ook is chargeable with the results of the murdsrous forays. If the Secretary esR restore to life slaughtered citizens and cause to be returned the stolen property or its equivalent in money and provide those with shelter whose houses have been destroyed by Chirica- huas, he may possible relieve himself from the responsibility of turning a deaf ear to appeals for relief by plae. ing in command an officer of sufficient diseernment and energy to master the raiding Indians. This he cannot do, therefore he must share, at least part of the responsibility attaching to the recent murders, rapine and arson com Ritted by Chiricahuas during the past four months in Arizona, New Mexico and the State of Sonora. Mexico, There IS a dreadful responsibility rest ing somewhere and we do not know where to place it except upon those having the power to nave prevented such direful results as has been recent ly visited upon our exposed frontier.

 The Silver Glty, N. M., Southwest Sentinel contains the following; On Friday evening Mexican sheep herder, named Stephen Aguirre came in and reported Indians above town near the old slaughter house. A number of armed men went out at once, and few shots were fired at what, in the twilight, were supposed to be hostiles. The shots were not re- turned, and on scouting tSe surround ing country no Indianseould be found. Frank Millstead was at first reported killed because he staid out a httle longer than usual, but he came in later all right, and quite ignorant of the fact that he was supposed to have been in danger. Lieutenant Spaulding and R. Allen went out to examine the ground by daylight tho following morning, and they reported finding the trail of both mounted and dls- mounted Indians, 4 report alsocame in from Lone Mountain that the tracks of six or seven Indians had been seen ! between that place and Central City going in the direction of the Santa Rita mountains,
 On Sunday, nine men of the Silver City militia, under Sergeant Brown returned utterly worn out. The soles of most of their boots were worn of and had been replaced with rawhide, They reported having had an exceed. lngly hard trip.

St. Louis, Sept. 16.--I send you en- closed slip cut from some paper about five years ago. It may be of some in- terest now that so much is being said in regard to the new star.
 In this article tue star is said to have appeared 1 5. C., and at the same time at His antIyity; the reason of this is that the Roman abbot Dionysius, who introduced the method of dating from the birth of Christ, placed that event about four years too late, as is HOW geuerallyronceded, ESee Am, Cyclop.1 l If the star appears every 315 years it ought to appear atits brightest in 1876. Thus 315x6-1890-4-18S6. Query: Is the new star the one here referred to2
 The article inclosea is as follows:
 STAR OF BETrIEHEN COMING.
 Prof c. A. Grimmer of Kingston, Jamaica, who is a scientist of fame, recently made some wonderful prophe- cies in connection with the action of the planets and other heavenly bodies. He says of the astar of Bethlehem:n In 1887 the "star of Bethlehem" will be once more seen in "Casseopias s chair, and it will be accompanied by a total eclipse of tho sun and moon, | N--..
 Tho star only makes it's appearance | every 3l5 years. It will appear and illuminate the heavens and exceed in brilliancy even Jupiter when in oppo.I l sition to the sun, and, therefore, nearer to the sun and brightest The marvellous brillianey of the eStar of Bethlehem" in 1887 will surpass any of it's prevlous visitations. It will be seen even by monday, shining with . I quick, flashing light the entire year, after which it will gradually decrease in brightness and finally disappear, not to return to our heavens till 2202, or 3l5 years after 1887. This star first l attracted tho attention of modern as- tronomers in the year 1875. It was then called new star. It was no new star, however, for this was the star which shone so brightly 4 B. c, and was the star that illumined the heavens at the nativity of fChrist. Washington 1 Republican.

M.

So far, owing to the rugged country our troops have been able to do noth- ing against the hostiIes. Gazette.

Keeping Dried Fruit.

| have had trouble in keeping fruit,
after it had dried, free from worms,
and | am sure | can save many of
our lady friends from the annoyance,
as | can in a few words tell them how
/ have managed to have my fruit
perfectly free from worms after it is
dry. | slice the fruit very thin, and
am careful to leave out any decayed
spots. In peaches you often see places
so small they look insignificant, and
like they are not harmful enough to
take time and pains to remove, but it
saves future trouble to take them out.
take the fruit in every afternoon
about four O'Clock, and put out in
the sun again next morning; do this
till it is perfectly dry, then pack up
and put away where no insects can
get to it. The reason for bringing in
so early is, have read that there is
a small insect, something like a but.
terfy, that comes to fruit after that
time Of day and deposits eggs, which
accounts for the worms a little later
on. l have read of many ways to de,
stroy the worms, and still use the
fruit, but would prefer prevention
to cure in this case decidedly, as l dc

Mental Improvement.

To the country youth who talks of
self-improvement and deplores the
lack of advantages, would say a few
words. There are many like you in
the world who fail from the same
cause, viz: A lack of determination
to succeed in the face of discourage
ments. Ifyou would improve you
must not spend all your leisure hours
in the society of frivolous people,
talking over the gossip of the place
where you live, and be quite conten-
ted in triflingamusements. You must
give regular time for study on one
particular subject, and keep to it, no
matter how short. The magazines of
the day furnish enough of history or
travels or literature.
Read poetry, not for the sentiment
of the moment with which it may
thrill you, but for its refining infiu-
ence on the mind. But let it be good
poetry, something worthy Of being
remembered, and if you have not yet
learned it, begin with LOngfellow's
"Psalm of Life" and commit it to
memory. 1t will give strength in
many fiery battle, and courage to
