The war department will probably
be very much surprised and hurt by
the news from Arizona. In spite Of
the assurances from the able warriors
at Washington that there were no In
dian disturbances in the west, It seems
there has been an actual pitched bat
tie between the Apaches and the
white settlers, IN which thirty-six In
dians aud sixteen citizens were killed.
Judging from recent experience, it is
quite doubtful whether this little mat
ter will produce any activity on the
part of our fearful aud wonderful SOL
diery, but we may be very sure that If
itdoes, the troops will always arrive on
the scene of the disturbance about tive
weeks after the Indians have gone
into another state.

Wonderful Work ia Wood.

There is nothing more won 'erful in
woodwork than the spiral tracery, as
certain wonderful pieces of turning
made in hio are callel. The turn ng
is so true that the different parts of a
twist or of an intricate brade pattern
slip into pla e unerringly, and large
screens and panels are made in which
the wood seems as flexible and manage
able as silken cable. Arches from
which curtains may be hung, screens
into which mirrors or rare embro:deries
may be fitted, little panels for deck rail.
ings, and easels of great lightness and
strength, are a few of the things for
which the tracery has already been
used but its possibilities are infinite.

Proposed Coalition Between Tories
and Wings.

LONDON. Dec. 9.-The cabinet will
meet Monday next. The Daily Nelcs
says it learns on high authority that the
government has abandoned the policy of
conciliating Parnell and will endeavor TO
form a coalition with the Wings to resist
Parnell. Unless Gladstone moves a vote
of want of confidence in the government,
the new parliament will Immediately ad-
journ until February.
A report which is believed in the Lib
eral clubs is current to the effect that Mr..
Gladstone has decided to seize the first
chance to Dust the Conservatives. He is
said to be eager for the office, proposing
to conclude his public life with the pro-
duction Off home rule measure for Ire
land.
Mr. Bradlaugh has entered into nego-
t~iations with the Liberal leaders. He
proposes not to present himself at the
bar of the house of ommon to take the
oath of office at the opening OF parlia-
ment, provided the Liberals will introduce
and support a bill allowing members elect
to affirm instead of taking the oath.

street brokers and directors arrived at

this morning. There was anxiety every
where to know what the stock market
would do at the opening, but a confident
tone was observable in nearly every in
stance where opinions were expressed
and London quotations. which we're here
half an hour before the opening of the
New York stock exchange, were reassur-
ing. On the board a dense crowd Of
brokers stood in the Lake Shore corner
awaiting the fall Of the chairman's gavel.
when it came, it YVES followed by wild ex-
element for a few minutes and a struggle
between those who had orders to close o u
their account at the opening, and others
who were there to support the market or
buy upon the assumption that the open.
ing figures would be the lowest. In other
parts Of the room the crowd was less
pushing and the excitement no greater
than is often witnessed at the opening Of
the board.

A STORY.
Howa Wolf falls Iuto a Beaver Ambus-
cade.

"
sp ecial Correspondence Of The LEADKR.
LANDER, Wyo.. Dec. Last fall two
years ago the scribe while on a hunting
expedition in the Wind river mountains
was fortunate enough to witness an en-
counter that vent far TO prove the pos
session by the beaver of reasoning powers.
The scribe made one of a party of duck
hunters. In the early fall these wild
fowl congregate in great numbers on the
mountain lakes. Located on one OF a chain
of lovely little lakes through which flowed
a stream that fell into the Wind river,
the party killed ducks by the score. On
the lake shores blinds we're erected. and
from these green ambuscades the reports
of the double barrels doomed forth con
t~inuously. It was from the concealment
of one of these leafy coveris that the cor
respondent and a comrade witnessed the
strange combat above referred to. The
blind was built near a beaver dam. A
colony Of these industrious animals had
cut down an immense cottonwood tree
growing near the edge of the stream that
formed the lake outlet, and made its huge
bulk the base of their scientifically con
structed dam. In the depths of the clear
pool thus formed could be seen the clus
tering houses Of the colony village. This
pond was a favorite resort for ducks, who
delighted to swim over its deep waters.
and between whom and the beaver the
best understanding seemed TO exist. In
the early morning the correspondent and
his comrade we're watching breathlessly
from the 'blind" the approach of a mum
berless flock of ducks, who were coming
from the upper end of the lake to the
beaver pond. Just as the flock were com
ing fairly in range the green headed drake
that led the van sounded the danger sig
nal, and the entire flock unanimously rose
and winged their way back. The inte
sportsmen looked about for the cause Of
the fright, and there on the log that
stretched across the beaver dam they saw
the long and gaunt form of an

Your memory is bad perhaps,

not only to read but to think.
When you have read paragraph
or a page, stop-closs the book
and try TO remember the ideas on
that page, and not only recall
them vaguely to your mind, but
put them into words and speak
them out. Faithfully follow these
two rules aud you will have the
golden keys Of knowledge. Besides
inattentivs reading, there are other
things injurious to memory. One
is the habit of skimming over
newspapers, all in confused jun
BILE, never to be thought of again,
thus cultivating habit Of csreless
reading hard to break. Another is
the reading Of trashy novels
Nothing is as fatal to reading with
profit as the habit of running
