GLOBE, A. T., June 16.-General Crook
has just completed the enlistment Of l25
additional Indian scouts from among the
Yumas, Mojaves, Tontos, San Carlos and
White Mountains. Additional packers
we're telegrsphsd for, and six have gone

Cold.BIoOded Murder.
TOMBSTONE, A. T., June 16.-Persons
from Sonora state that the killing Of the
miners MoKurtin, Palmer and Hunting
ton. a short time ago, which was first at
tributed to the Indians, is now believed to
be the work Of white men, as no property
except coin and guns was disturbed. The
deed was remarkably cold-blooded, and
the death of one victim was highly sensa-
tional. 1t appears that one of the miners
in the shaft had placed a blast, fred the
fuse and was being hauled to the surface,
when his companion at the windlass was
killed, and the murderer cody cut the rope
and let the miner fall to the bottom to be
destroyed by the explosion he had just
arranged.
Remarkable Gold Discovery.
BEDDING, CAL, June 16.-The discovery
by Peter Sherer and George Raider of gold
in quartz on the south bank of Salt Creek,
about two miles above Redding, bids fair
to exceed in richness any discovery ever
made in the State, il not any known dis
covery. Pieces of the quartz five inches
long and four inches wide, and from one
TO three inches thick are taken out con-
tanning more gold than quartz.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

1t is clear that there ought to be some re
lation between our assertion of that doc
trine and our preparation to maintain it .
1t is not intended to recommend any at i.
tempt to rival great European powers in
the creation of Il powerful navy. Changes
which have rapidly occurred by diminu>
ton of relative resisting power of defen
sive armor of iron clads and increased
efficiency in modern artillery, which, on
the whole, has gained its competition,
suggest that We should not at present en-,
ter largely into the creation of armored
vessels, in questions that beset
this subject until they have
reached solution. We content our.
selves with adding but sparing-
ly to our navy, but what we do add
should be the very best that science and
experience can indicate. This prudential
view is reinforced by the consideration
that the annual charge of maintaining a
war vessel bears an important propor
to the original cost of construction. In
constructing permane Mt Notifications and
in providing an ample supply Of the best
modern artillery, the annual cost of main>
tendnce is incOnsiderable. Nearly the
whole expenditure is in the original out
lay for construction. If We do not make

Opiates.

The first indulgence is in some sense
legitimate; is almost enforced, either
by acute pain or by chronic insomnia.
The latter is perhaps the most danger
Gus. The pain, if it last for weeks,
forces recourse to the doctor before
the habit has become incurable Sleep
lessness is a more persistent, and to
most people a much less alarming
thing; and it is moreover one with
which the doctors can seldom deal save
through the very agents of mischief.
Neuralgia, relieved for time by chic.
reform or morphia, may be cured by
quinine; sleeplessness admits of hardly
any cure but such complete change of
life as is rarely possible, at least to its
working victims. And the narcotst
habit once formed, neither pain nor
slceplessness is all that its remuneration
would involve.
The drunkard, it must be remem-
bered, gets drunk, as rule, but oc-
casionally. Save in the last stages of
dipsomania he can do, If not without
drink, yet without intoxicating quanti-
titles of drink, for days together. The
narcotist who attempts to go for a
whole day without his accustomed dose
suffers in "a hours far more cruelty
titan the drunkard deprived of alcohol
in as many days. The effect upon the
stomach and other organs, upon the
nerves as well as on the brain, is one
of indescribable, unspeakable discom-
fort amounting to torture; disorder
of the digestive system more trying
than sea sickness, disorganizaton OF
the nerves which after some hours of
dnSpeakable misery eliminates in con-
vulsive twitchings, in mental and
physical distress, simply indescribable
to those who have not felt it.
Where attempts have been made for
cibly and suddenly to withhold the ac-
customed sedative they have not I'M
frequently ended within few days in
madness or death. In other cases the
victim has sought and obtained relief
by efforts and through hardships which,
in his or her best days, would have
seemed impossible or uncomfortable.
One woman thus restrained escaped in
deshabille from her bedroom on a win
ter night of arctic severity; ran for
miles through the snow, and was fortu-
nate enough to find a chemist who
knew something of the fearful effect of
such priyation, and had the sense and
courage to give in adequate quantity
the poison that had now become the
first necessary OF life. In word, mar
eotics, one and all, are, to those who
have fallen under their power, tyrants
whose hold can hardly ever be shaken
of, which punish rebellion with the
rack, and with all those devices of tor
ture which medieval and ecclesiastical
cruelty found even more terrible than
the rack itself; while the most abso-
Lutte submission is rewarded with suf-
ferings only less uncomfortable than the
punishment of revolt. De Quincey's
dreams under the influence of opium
were to the fortunes of resistance what
the highest circle of purgatory may be
to the lowest pit of the inferno. = The

Andrew Jackson,s Homo.

The proposition which has been
made, and which is now before the
legislature, to tender the Hermitage
farm, q tirst-class tract of some 500
acres, the property of the state of
Tennessee, TO the United States govern
ment, for the purpose of having built
thereon home for the soldiers of the
war of 1872, the FIoridian war, the
Mexican war, and all wars prior to the
late Confederate war, is now before the
Tennessee legislature.
The other day alegislative committee
went out to the Hermitage to .'spy
cut" the property, and their arrival
and their presence quite completely
broke up the quiet colored people To-
Gated on sold marster's farm.
They came to town to see Gov. Bate
about it. They had heard that the
farm was to be sold, and its occupants
turned out to shift elsewhere. The
speaker of the delegation was Uncle
Alfred Jackson, now 50 years old, one
of Gen. Jackson's old-timc servants.
He was in great trouble. He said to
the governor:
"Gin'l Bates, Idone heard dat you re
gwine to turn all us old Jackson Mig
gers out, and / come here for to find
out about it.
"Pshaw, Alfred Somebody has
been fooling you" said Gov. Bate,
Don't trouble yourself; go home and
rest contented. You can live at the
Hermitage long time yet, and l win
see that you are not disturbed.
The old darky took the governor S
assurance with such good grace, and
seemed so well satisfied with the turn
things had taken, the World reporter
yentured to pump. him as to Gen.
Jackson's peculiarities.
Uncle Alfred. said the reporter,
''wasn' t the general pretty high-temp-

SaItpetcr i'm Nevada.

The saltpeter beds of Nevada are far
better situated FOR the development Of
their deposits than the inter region of
South America, which is desert en-
tirely devoid of water and all vegetable
life, aud where the development can be
accomplished only by surmounting
many difficulties; the provisions OF the
miners have to be transported from
long distances; the water supply for
all purposes is condensed from the
ocean water and carried to the inter
fields, while fuel has to be procured
from the mountains in the South of
Chilli In Nevada. we are told. the
saltpeter deposits are in the vicinity Of
a rich farming country with an abund-
ant supply of water and food close at
hand. and the inter can be furnished at
prices considerably cheaper than that
for which the South American article

Unprotected brains.

The Chicago Tribune SAYS: at is
now thought that if Mrs. Grant gets
$50, 900 from sales of Gen. Grants book
she will be doing well. The explana-
tion of this reduction in the estimate is
simple. All sorts of cheap publishing
concerns are getting our Lives of
Grant, and these are palmed of, in
many instances, as the book written by
the great soldier himself The sharks
of the publishing business are at pres
ent engaged in robbing widow" The
reason for this is the policy adopted by
Chas. l.. Weber & Co. and S. l.. Glenn
ems MARK Twain), who have charge of
Grants memoirs, in delaying the publ
cation of the first volume until Decem-
Der and the second till next March, in
order that agents may take as many
orders as possible, and thus forestall, as
far as possible, the cheap edition pub
fishers, who will pirate the work the
moment it is out and place upon the
market within three days the complete
work for % or 30 cents. This is the
result OF congress refusing copyright
law to authors. Nearly everything is
protected except brains.
