THE Apaches, where are they? Where are their signal fires, and their footprints? They have come and gone and their trail has been one of death. Thus far, their des- tinatioE and hiding place is as mysterious and unaccountable as is the spirit that impelled them to their carnival of blood. Weeks have passed and they have had un- disputed possession of the noun tains and valleys which they sell ected for the hellish work on which they started. The organized army of the United States has placed it's most experienced soldiers on the trail of the cruel raiders, oficered by men of daring and courage, yet not Redman paid the penalty of his crime. Volunteers from various sections under command of men of known and tried courage and long experience, were also on the alert to arrest and destroy the savages. Indian scouts were hurried to the front with the confident hope of staying the work of distruction- the results were alike fruitless. Where is the remedy? The army is powerless against the murderers 1; volunteers were equally unsuccess- ful ;the scouts failed, and the rowing bands were satiated and left the field. Now it is known to every Indian on the reservation who are the ab- sentees. Now let the government take care of the aged men, look after the squaws and children, or der out every able-bodied Indian with orders to arrest every scoun- drel who has been on this raid, and turn them over for trial and pun ishment. They can do it to the last man, and they should under sore penalties be made to do it. This trifiing has been endured long enough.

AMAsA LYMAN was an Apostle of the Mormon Church, aud for a sea- son was first counsellor of Joseph Smith. At last, however, in 1870, he preached sermon in which he said something about atonement which excited the wrath of Brigham Young, and he had him excommu- nicated. He was one of the bright est and truest men that ever belong. ed to the organization. Shortly after he was fired out of the church he was stopping at the house of Abram Taylor in the 11th ward of this city, where he was called upon by a prominent apostate from the Mormon Church, who saId to him: Brother Amasa I want to ask you two leading questions. Were you acquainted with Joseph Smith?" Yes" was the reply. Il knew him personally, I have been with him under many different circumstan- ces; have travelled and slept with him. I know him almost as we'll as brother" At this the'question- CT asked Did Joseph Smith re- ceive revelation from God in re- gard to polygamy?" Lyman was absorbed in thought for several minutes, then looking up, he slowly said: That revelation was got up for the purpose of covering Joseph Smiths iniquities, for he met me on the streets of Nauvoo the winter

ALL taxpayers will commend the action of Chief Justice How ard in charging the present Grand Jury in the District Court against the custom, too long prevalent among stockmen, of having one another indicted and tried crim- finally over disputed titles to cattle, when such disputes properly be- longed and should be settled by an action of replevin in the civil courts. Hardly a term of court passes in any county in this terri tory but what two or three cases of alleged cattle stealing by men previously bearing good reputa- tions, are tried. the only result be- ing to demonstrate the existance of a dispute between neighbors over the possession of COW or calf, which could have been more easily and satisfactorily settled in

ALRuouERouE voted by a larg.

ALBUQUERQUE voted by large majority of her inhabitants to in- corporate the new town and go in to business on its own account. The wisdom or folly of this pro- cedure will not be manifest for the next two or three years, but which ever it proves to be it is the volun- tary act and deed of the majority, and we hope there may never ap- pear cause for regret. Since the town plats was first mapped out Albuquerque has had a most won derful growth in population, in the great value and beauty of its build ings, both for business purposes and private residences. Its trade Is now far in advance of any com mercial mart in the territory, and we don't know of any town south of Denver or west of Kansas City thas is its peer as a business point. There are old pilots at the helm of the young metropolis, and if they have not lost their cunning they will guide the trim little craf. safely.

ABOUT three months ago the
 HERALD had occasion to publish an article in which the name of Edmund Ellsworth figured to a considerable extent. The article
 in question, after mentioning the
 indictment found against Els
 worth for polygamv, also stated
 that he had been placed under two
 thousand dollar bonds, and had endeavored to leave the country
 but had been torcibly detained by
 his bondsmen. This statement of facts caused Mir. Ellsworth to appear in an article in the Orion Era and Deseret News. under his own signature, i'll which he admit ted being indicted for polygamy, but in long-winded, senseless ar ticle stated that he had never vio- lated the laws of the United States by unlawful cohabitation. and would prove on trial in court that there was no. grounds for the charge whatever. AS regards to veracity and general moral up he stands on par with the mass of the odoriferous fol- lowers of Brigham Young. The following article from the Prescott Courier shows his method of self vindication. What liars these Mormons be:
 Edmund Ellsworth, the Mormon who yesterday, in the District Court, plead guilty to unlawful cohabitation, and received a sem tence lining him $500, or in lieu thereof be confined sixty days at Yuma, has selected to serve the sixty days in the Territorial peni- tentiary, in preference to paying the fine.

THE following are two of the
 most important sections, of the Act for the protection of live stock growers" passed by the last
 Legislature, in reference to the marking and branding of cattle:
 SEC. 5. "The ear-mark provided for in this act shall be made by cut ting and shaping the ear or ears of the animal so marked but in no case shall the person so marking any animal mentioned in this act mark the same by cutting both ears to a point, or cropping off more than one-third of either ear, and any person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be pun ished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars, nor more than three hundred dollars, or by impris- onment in the county jail for not less than one month nor more than six months. or by both such fine and imprisonment.
 SEC. 9. No person shall here after use more than one brand or ear-mark for cattle nor more than one brand for horses or mules, but all brands and ear-marks now owned by or recorded in the name of any person in any county of this Territory, shall be and remain the property of such person, and it shall not be lawful for any other person to adopt or use the same, or for the Recorder of any county where such brands are recorded, to record the same Tn the name of any other person, and any Recorder vio- lating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misde- meanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than one hundred dollars.

IN our last issue we stated that Elder J. B. Milner contemplated taking a trip to Utah for his health. Now Elder Milner comes to the front and denies the. statement, asd says we are guessing wide of the mark. We beg the Elders pardon for this seeming misstate- ment, and acknowledge that our information was derived from a very unreliable source, namely, his own paper, the Orion Era, of the 29th ultimo.
 We can, after a second thought, and a little careful investigation, readily understand why the exiled bishop does not wish to again tread his native heath in search of health.

How many Indians did Mir. Armstrong, who rails against the United States army. and his men take in during the late Indian raid? His column article is full of the cowardice of the regular army. Now write another letter MT. B. F.A. and tell us how many Apache mur- derers were taken in by the rolun- teers and scouts.

THE editor of the Albuquerque Journal, who speaks very con- temptously of Arizona journalism, in a scare head over some specials regarding the Indian outbreak says : "MOre Killing by the Red Savages. " We think the editor ought to be thankful to the gentlemaniy Apaches for furnishing him with the information. In the same head ing we find "A List of Those Shit ten Down by the Band," and "Other Choice Reading Natter" Now the gentlemanly critic ofthat paper was not very choice in the selection of his words or the manner of arrang- ing them in this particular heading, but to say the least, in fact, the heading would indicate that the Indians had slaughtered a few peo- pie just for the purpose of furnish ing the Journal with choice reading matter. We venture to say that the Albuquerque Journal is the only paper in the world, the N. Y. Her aid not excepted, who has highly painted Apache special correspon- dents.-Phenix Gazette.

 AN item has been going the rounds of the press for the past ten days regarding statement made by a ranchman named Pow ell, living sixty miles northwest of Winslow, who reported that the Normons were aiding and urging the Indians in the recent outbreak. Brother Milner in the Orion Era denies the statement and says that "the Mormons have everything to lose and nothing to gain by Indian outrages" We do not agree with this saintly follower of Joe Smith, as previous Indian outrages have always been beneficial to the Nor mon people from the fact that they aid these red-handed assassins and get their share of the plunder as was evidenced in the Mountain Meadow massacre. About five years ago the Mormors through their highbinders Lot Smith, Am mon Penney, Ernest Tietjen, Jacob Hamblin and Brothers Farnsworth and Christiansen used all available means to induce the Navajo h. dians to go on the war path and drive the gentiles from the country, and at that time caused a feeling of .uneasiness among these quiet, in- dustrious people, which came near ripening into warfare, but was averted by the timely interference of the military.
 It is not conscientious scruples. but fear, that keeps these hired as- sassins of the Mormon church from plying their bloody vocation at the present day.

before the revelation was received; and told me that he then had four wives" This was the thoughtful testimony of one of the nearest friends that Joseph Smith ever had. and one of the most honorable and sagacious men who ever belonged to the Mormon Church. Is such a revelation received under such cir cumstances, worth keeping a whole people in doubt, perplexity and trouble Over?-Salt Lake Tribune.

The substitution of glass flooring for
boards continues to increase in Paris,
this being especially the case in those
business s%trncturesi in which the cell
lars are used rs offices. At the head
quarters of the Credit Lyonnais, on
the Boulevard DIES Italians, the whole
of the ground is paved with large
squares Of roughened glass imbedded
in a strong iron frame, and in the cell
lar beneath there is sufficient light,
even on dull days, to enable clerks to
work without gas. The large central.
hall at the offices of the Comptoire
dsEncompte has also been provided
with this kind of flooring, and it is
said although its prime cost is greater
than that Of boards. glass is in the long
run far cheaper, owing to its almost
unlimited durability.
One of the most noteworthy of all
the French breeds of poultry is La

delicate on the table. OF these there
are two VARIETIES. One is from the de-

cling. The other is from the arron-
basement de Touleans, and this is
entirely black. Both are rather long
IN body, with shortish, slender legs,
and there is a small crest, or tuft of
feathers, on the head. They are
hardy and the hens lay from $50 to
100 eggs peg year, but these are rather
small, averaging about 9 to the pound.
