The SObbing Wren.

A stranger in the little cities of Southwestern Texas IS often awakened at early dawn by the beautiful but sor- rowful song of the house or sobbing wrer If the stranger hes been long away from home and friends, and Is sensitive to i'm pressions of the external nature he never forgets the peculiar melancholy note of this tiny songster. It begins in high clear key, like the tinkling of silver bells and descending gradually from one sweeter 1t suddenly falteTs breaks off and sobs like little child, the song dy- ing away in gasp. The listener is touched with sympathetic emotion and may find it difficult to suppress the un- comfortable feeling that one of the little ones in hIs own family circle-far away is weeping and sobbIng for his return. The song heard only in the twilight of dawn and Is repeated but afew times Then the handsome little singer, with plump brown breast, speckled with
 black rctires through some crevice ig the housetop and is rarely seen durinn the day.

IT IS hoped by Ill good citizens that no serious complications with the fapa- on Indians will be precipitated in the presen, misunderstanding. The Indians are defiant because of the attitude of Agent Hart, and when their usua'i' dormant savage propenstities are once aroused they are not the philosophers eastern humanitarisns beleve them to De I. is best to accomplish by quiet stra'- egem tbat which it is difficult to do Oy coerc,on. The Papagoes have always been frindly to the whites and tneir kindness in the past should be taken into consideration in dealing with ,neni for their present misguided e-cspsde.

TEE present speck of difficulty be. tween the whites and the Papago In. dians, m this co1nty, presents so many intricate questions of right and policy that the full facts must be learned be- Tore & proper opinion can be formed. If IS certain that all efforts at a reasonable arbitration of the disagreement should be exhausted before any attempt atforce IS resorted to. The Indians are ignorant and have always been allowed & certain latitude of liberty the enjoyment of which they now begin to look upon ss their lawful prerogative. A full, free and open discussion with their chiefs. io- volying careful explanation of the of- lenses charged and the laws bearing upon them, would certainly have as- suaged their anger, and possibly have sverted the extreme bitterness of feeling that has budded and bloomed iu day. The published letter of Dr. Hart, agent at the Papsgo reservation, is not only injudicious, but is calculated to excite all the savage instincts of the Indians. The apparent moral support of the government, as understood by them through their agent, is likely to incite in them a feeling of independence and stubbornness that will result in open hostility. Dr. Hart apparently places the utmost confidence in the correctness of his information regarding the affair at DObbs Station, and at once assumes the position that the Indians are right and the whites are wrong. Instead of per- forming his proper fur ctions ss the agent of the United States, he poses as chief and adviser His influence if he possesses any with the Indians, should have been eIerted in calming the i'm pending storm and counseling modera- ton and obedience 10 the laws. Assum- ing that the sheriff had acted indiscrete- ly, Dr. Hart should have counseled a submission of the whole matter to the courts and upheld the dignity of the law. The result of the presence of the Sheriff's posse at the Indian camp is not sufficiently demon strated at the present writing to criti- else. A telegram received this morning detlils the information that they ad- vsnced at daylight towards the Indian camp, waving white hsndkerchiefs in token of their peaceful intentions. but that one indiscreet individual, in utter disregard of the honor of flag of truce, fired a shot at the Indians. Although in effect it was harmless. yet it gave the Indians an eIcusefor returning it. aud a dozen bullets went singing about the ears of the whites. A few of the posse then advanced and made the Papagoes understand that they wanted a confer ence, and after much parleying a dele gation of the Indians agreed to 90 with a portion of the posse to Dobbs' house for 8 consultation, first requiring them to leave four whites with them as host ages. What is to be the next step DO one can foretell.

HE attention of eastern capitalists having been directed eastward during ihe imminent probabilities of prolong- si European war, will again turn to the vast speculative fields of the mining re- g!0ns of the west.

A CHANGE has come over the spirit or the Democratic dreams, and if Stephen Grover could overhear the expressed estimates of his character and offisia actions he would wonder whether ideli- ity 10 partisan claims at the expense Of public interests is not the actual meas ure of American greatness, after all. Cleveland was elected President as the Democratic nominee and yet the army of hungry statesmen are fed only upon deferred hope-s rather weak diet for H chronic hunger of twenty-four years duration. Those who did yeomen's worf in the campaign in behalf of the sue cessful party, expected a prompt recog- hilton of their services, and their sense less cry of "Turn the rsscals out" was only intended to disguise their own efforts to get in. But the President seems to require better evidence of their rascality than mere party aifilistion, out side of those officials necessary to shape the policy of the administration, and he seems to demand in his appoIntees cer- tain qualifications which many of them no not possess. The result cannot be expected to please the bourbons who q Q, md a complete and peaceable s1r- ren1 r to them of the couRtry they failed to scl ire through open war. It IS barely possible that the President may yield to the great pressure being brought to bear upon him, and open the flood gates of removal and appointment, but such a course will add no lustre to the fame he is now acquiring by a course of ratlonal consistency.

IN the valley, but few miles east of the town of Logan, in the Quijotoas. there IS one Of the finest opportunities for.a milling enterprise that exists in the Territory of Arizona. The sinking ot the bonanza compsny's well in this valley has demonstrated the existence of vast quantity of water and of sp.en- did quality, at depth of four hundred and fifty feet. The necessary pumping machinery will constitute the chief ex. pense required in the construction of a mill at this point, but even these appli- ances need not be of massive charac- ter. A mill of even five stamps would prove profitable, as the whole country from away beyond Covered Wells on the north to South Quiiotoa mountain is literally scanned with srall ledges of exceedingly rich ore. The owners of these claims have from one to one hun dred tons of ore on the dumps and, stim- ulsted by easy access to a custom mill, they will display greater energy in the production of rich milling ores. While some practical men think an ora supply reaching one hundred tons per day can safely be relied upon at the mill, the more conservative estimate of one-fourth of that amount would keep ten stamp mill in constant operation. Scarcely any of the ore will assay less than fifty ounces Of silver per ton. while the aver. age is from one hundred to six hundred ounces. The mine owners along the Quiiotoa range Of mountains would hail the cor struction of mill in the valley ss priceless boon and aside from its instrumentslity in the development of those valuable mines it will be the means of adding half a million of dollars annually to the wealth of the country in precious metals. Mill men, with moder- ate means, will find this an opportunity for profitable investment not e1celled anywhere in the United States, and it IS worthy of the consideration of any cap italist.

They cut the uaiI itary telegraph line connecting the camp with military headquarters, about eight o'clock last night. This Is the same old band that were out two years ago, and will probably be joined by a few rene eades from the other tribes at San Car los. Trouble was anticipated by the military authorities, who have taken prompt measures in notifying the differ ent posts and settlers, and no serious trouble is feared. The renegades, if not intercepted, will probably strike direct for the Sierra Madres in Mexico.

The Murderer Maxwell.

NEW YORK, May 15.-A special from Philadelphia says: "In Nhw York Wal ter Leunox Maxwell, who was arrested in New Zeland for the murder of Preller in St.Louis. made statement tbat he was a brother of Lord Herries, and sev- eral times spoke Oi hIs arIstocratIc con- nections. In February last Bernard c. Maxwell, second brother of Lord Herrles, was in Philadelphia on business and sailed for Earope in March, and has since bean heard from m London. It is Q queer coincidence that he has a bro ther Walter Lennox Maxwell, who came here from Australia and settled for a while on a ranch in Colorado, though nothing has been herd of him for some time. Some points of resemblance and these incidences have given rise to belief that the companion of the murder ed man, who is now under arrest, either knew Lord Herrie's brother or assumed his name purposely to misleed."
