 via Bowie Station.
 This morning a band of Indians passed back of this place and stole many head of horses at Layton. They were followed from that place by four citizens who mis- took them for horse thieves. They got assistance consisting of G. H. Stevens, P. J. Bolan and NJ. E. Cunningham, at thls place. The party took the trail before day light; followed it rapidly to within few miles of Ash Peak, and then recognized the supposed horse thieves as Apache Indians. At first fire two of the party with Stevens, who were somewhat ahead, were ambuscaded and killed. Their names are Wright and Cat ters. The Indians securing thsir horses aud arms, retreated to a high bluff. At the same time the balance of the party came up and seeing the Indians surrounded them as best they could. The In- dians opened fire and the posse then dispatched one of their party back to neighboring camp for assistance, but these people refused to come up. As only four of the posse were left, two being killed, the Indians coolly mounted their horses and rode off at gen tie pace. The party followed them for short distance but did not attempt to enter Ash Canon. Bo- Ian just returned at Il A. NJ.

Arsenic in Domestic Fabrics.

With regard to arsenic there are opportu-
mites of observing what may be classed as
experimental proofs, such as could not pos
sibly occur in illness arising from sewer gas.
This further proof consists in the frequent
alternate recurrence of illness and recovery
ILLNESS on exposure to, and recovery on re-
movai from, aTsenicaisurrc undings, followed
by final recovery on substitution of non-ar-
Senical fabric in place of that containing the
poison Change of air is in all probability
often credited with the benefits arising from
removal from some unsanitary condition of
residence, office, or workshop. The effect On
men employed in hanging or removing ar
senical wall papers is another proof of their
injurious quality men have frequently 8
leave their work unfinished, being too i'll to
continue under the poisonous influence. Ar
senic in domestic fabrics is so easily dis
pensed with that there is no valid reason for
the continued use of these poisonous colors.
Several paper stainers have for wears consci-
entiously excluded all arsenical colors from
their works, yet have still maintained their
position in the open market, thus deciding
the question both as to cost and quality CT
non-arsenical wall papers. 1t is an interest
ing question to medical men and chemists,
how it is that these minute quantities of az
senic, or OF some combination of arsenic
with other ingredien S, when breathed,
should be 30 injurious, when larger quanti-
ties can be taken into the stomach as a med
lcine with advantage. This question, how
ever, is OF no consequence to the patient
His course is simple enough: having found
out the cause of illness, get rid of it, and be
thankful it can be got rid of at so small a
cost. Arsenic also is found in the dust of
rooms papered with arsenical papers, thus

friends thought a few months rest would
enable him to recuperate, and so did Bliss,
but they were disappointed in their expecta-
tions. For the last year Bliss has been
constant sufferer from complication of
troubles, the most serious Of which is erysjp-

worth $4,000 year, has dwindled down 10

National Gratitude to Great Cap
tains,

S~@~~-0'
Great captains have frequently owed their
wealth aud that descending to their heirs to
the gratitude Of the nations they have saved
or made greater. Marlborough, who began
life as the son of an obscure country gentle
man. and owed his first preferment 10 the
favor his plain sister enjoyed in the eyes of
sovereign, was, when he died, one of the
richest subjects in Europe. His heirs hold
today the palace and estate of Blenheim,
given him out of the national domain by the
easy tenure of presenting miniature French
standard each year to the reigning sover-
elgn. For nearly two hundred years the
Churehills have been among the wealthiest
of mobiles, simply because of the great deeds
done by the man of genius who founded tie
line. English gratitude TO Wellington
found expression In vast grants of money
and the presentation of an estate held on the
same easy tenure as Bienheim. Nor was Eng
land alone in besto wing awards on the man
who saved conservatism at Waterloo. The
great Duke was peer Of Spain, of Portugal,
OF Belgium, of Holland, and of France. The
Spanish Bourbons marked their ssnse of
gratitude to the man who more than any
one else kept a throne open to them by con
ferrlng on him rich estate which made him
one of the wealthiest of their grandees. He
was Marshal Honorary in almost all the
continental services; and the lad who la
mented the denial of bis application for a
small place in the Customs Service lived to
look back on the memory of poverty as ter
rible dream haunting the rich mans slum
bers. His son, who died few months ago,
left personal property valued at over 81 ,000,-
600, besides the great estates which the ma
tions had bestowed on his sire in England
and Spain.
These precedents are onlg few of those
which great soldier can cite as justify
ing bis acceptance of gifts which spring
from the lberalitg of the people he has
served. A career like Wellington's or
Grants offers few opportunities for money
making, even if the capacity of money
making exists, as it seldom does in military
men Of high older who disdain plunder. AS
monarchies have shown their gratitude, the
republic cannot allow its greatest soldier, its
former President, to suffer in his old age
without aequiescing in the accusation that
republics are unglateiul-Boston Transcript.

The controversy as 10 whether st. John
offered to sell out for money is not settled
and possibly never will be. Certain facts
are, however. well established. 1t is estab-
lished that James F. Legate did undertake
to negotiate for the withdrawal of St. John
for money; it is established very conclusive
iy, notwithstanding his denial, that Legate
represented that he was acting with the fall
knowledge and consent of ST. John: it
is no doubt fact that Mr. Clarkson and
the other members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee believed Legate's repre-
sentation; 1t is fact that the Republican
committee refused to make any trade with
Legate; it is a fact that Legate was an inti-
mate friend of st. John. These facts are all
well established. But neither of them, nor
all of them, are conclusive against St. John.
The fact that Legate who was making the
negotiations was st. Johns intimate personal
friend is, to be sure, strong presumptive evil
dence that S.. John knew of, and assented to,
these negotiations, but Lot conclusive evi-
dence. As the controversy now stands 81.
John, though not by any means relieved of
suspicion, cannot justly be said to be under
conviction.

A legal gentleman calls the attention of
the Lewiston Journal toa paragraph in Gov.
Columns will, in regard to the meaning of
which he thinks difference of opinion
may arise, that may ultimately have to be
settled by the courts. 1t is the paragraph
relating to the Waterville Classical Insti-
tute, which runs as follows:
NINTH give and bequeath to the Wateryille
Classical Institute. in addition to what have al
ready donated, as much will amount in the
whole to 900, one-half of which is to be fund
ed, and the income only to be expended annually"
The gentleman referred 10 contends that
this may be construed to mean bequest of
100000 in addition to the sums previously
given, or as bequest of an amount sufic
-.ent when added to those sums to swell them
to 100000. We cannot see much chance
for controversy here. The Ex-Governor's
meaning might have been less awkwardly
expressed, but it seems quite clear. Evi-
IDENTITY be intended to give the institution
the difference between 100000 and his
previous gifts, else there would have been
