TURTLEs.-A Fredericksburg dealer on
Monday shipped to New York several boxes
containing two dozen large turtles captured
in the creeks of Potomac river. The Free
Lance says: "The frog and turtle trade OF
that section promises to become matter of
s,me importance in the near future"
Numbers Of "snappers" are now being
caught in the river and creeks near this city

l,erOnino'g Plea,

Listen children of the sunrise!
Soldiers from the distant Eastward
am but poor Apache;
You are wise and strong and mighty;
And l come now to surrender,
Inasmuch as / am weary
OF the raw life in the mountains,
And the unremitting worry
Which | seem to throw you into
BY my most unkind refusal
To submit myself to capture.
Having come, then, to surrender,
Let me name first one condition:
Do not kill the poor Apache,
True, I've killed hundred people,
Shot your soldiers, scalped your women,
Burned your houses, stole your cattle,
Run off horses, caught your children,
Ravaged fields and swept through ranches
Fire and knife and spear and rifle
l have ever used as playthings.
Yet, oh, children of the sunrise!
l have grounds to claim your mercy,
Hear me, paleface, as | swear it:
Yesterday 1 scalped an umpire
Fleeing from an outraged ball game!
l have finished. Who among YOU
Has done more to win peoples
Everlasting recognition,
And to come in for a pension!
-WdshingtOn Critic.

THE HOSTILE INDIANS.

The execution OF General Sheridan IS
order, to contine all the Apaches and
Warm Spring tribes at Fort Marion in
Florida, and the holding OF Geronimo
and his murderous band for trial and
punishment, will bring sense OF relief
to the people OF Arizona and New Mex
leo, such as they never knew before, and
will do more to stimulate settlers to take
up land in that country, than the finding
OF the greatest gold mines would do.
The absence OF these terrors and pests
will permit OF developing the great
resources OF that part OF the
country, and reduce the cost
OF maintenance OF the army to
a figure which will be sensibly felt by
the taxpayers OF the country. But even
with these measures OF relief, long de-
ferred, but nevertheless welcome, the
Government will not have done its duty
to the people of the West, until each OF
the murderers now in custody shall have
been tried and swiftly punished in ac-
cordance with the magnitude OF their in
human crimes. The presence and de-
predations OF these savages in Arizona
and adjoining territory, has retarded the
growth OF that country fully twenty years.
and thousands Of men have been
wrecked in fortune, while many
have lost their lives, in trying TO
bring about civilization in that land.
None OF these men who lost their homes
and property can ever obtain reimburse
ment, except through the tortuous and
uncertain channel OF the Court Of Claims,
and before others will venture in their
places, they must be made certain that
such brutal devils cannot again molest
the country and submit them TO outrage,
pillage and murder There are a
hundred positive murders traceable to
Geronimo and the few bucks now in
custody with him, and as the onus OF
proof will be on the Government, it will be
popular move to expend yet little more

THE RISE IN SILVER.

The rise in the price OF silver is due to
three causes-one Is that the price had
fallen below the cost Of production
Another is the knowledge in London and
New York that some silver mines had
closed down, and that many proposed to
close and the third cause OF the rise, is
the disturbed condition OF Europe, and
besides these three causes, there
is the general increase in business
all over this country, and the
good outlook for the future. As
suggested by the DEMOCRAT, nothing
would 80 enhance the value OF silver as
to stop its production, for time at least
Europe must have silver for its Eastern
trade, and the very minute that she sees
that there il any danger OF its supply be-
ing shortened, Immediately she begins to
gather in stock and up goes the price
Then the hot blasts OF revolution come
sweeping up from the plains of Asia,
where there is a prospect OF
greater demand for silver, because all
business is done on a silver basis, and
speculation is wild in London, and up
goes the price OF silver. Then, too, in
this country there is strong and healthy
confidence growing up in regard to silver
money. The silver dollars are being
called for all over the country, and their
circulation is an assured and established
fact. The issuance OF one and two dol
lar bills based on silver dollars
was one OF the widest pieces OF legsla.
tion passed by the last Congress-
II is but the forerunner Of what will be
done, only that the policy will be the use
OF all silver produced in this country, as
money or as the basis OF money. This
is the manifest destiny OF silver and
of silver legislation. Use makes value
and there is no limit to the use that
may be made OF gold and silver as
money. The dollar alone is the stand.
ard The dollar should be expressed by
4l21e grains of silver and 2s.S grains OF
gold. These give ratio Of to l6. They
are historic, and should remain
one and inseparable in their
uses AZ American money. I'm
fortunate was that day ior silver when
its friends consented to let it be meas
med by gold-and fortunate will that
day be for tue country when we see gold
and silver again with equal rights-each
with full legal tender and each reinstated
alike under the law in free coinage.
That Day will come, and its dawning
will have much to do in the rise OF silver.

NAVAL SNOBBERY.


The recent appointing of an army Off
Ger. who had risen from the ranks, to the
position OF Adintant. General at Washing
ton. with the rank OF Major, as recogni-
ton of thirty seven wears of efficient SER
vice in war and peace, has set the east
ern press on to the fact that such thing
could not be in the navy as it is now or
ganized, and the Boston Daily AdrertiseT,
the organ OF the bean-eating blue bloods
of that wondrous place, thus discourses
on the subject.
"It ia worth while to remark that, while
men from the ranks are every year pro
road 10 " n 10 cnmnisaion ,n in ~" tbe navv save
,ne poas. or navai olncerS IHnt, whi,e "ohi-
sions, they are not eligible to rank in the
line OF the navy. ms Is not American ana
training ships could look forward to
chance for promotion to be officers, the class
the standard of the ofticers themselves might
be improved"
cause it is true. Men who enlist in the
naval service cannot rise above the rank
OF warrant officer, which includes Boat
swains, Gunners, Sailmakers, Carpenters
and Masters Mates. No matter how
long they serve, nor how competent they
might become il the way was open to
them, their horizon of glory is bounded
by the guerdon of u warrant, to be the
butt of beardless bows, and the common
enemy of all below them in standing.
Bad as is the case with warrant officers,
it is still more humiliating with gentle
men who served nobly during the war as
volunteer officers, and who were admit
ted into the regular service in reduced
rank, by what was termed competitive
examinations. Some of these gentlemen.
notably Lieutenant-C Commander Cor
ringe, and few others, though they
have proven themselves thousand
times better than men who are ium ped
over them, have never gone above the
rank of Lieutenant Commander. and
never will for the reason that an exam
lining board composed of officers above
that rank. and all of whom are graduates
of the Academy, have to pass upon their
merits and abilities, and the fact that
they are not graduates. keeps them from
advancement beyond that grade. So
strict is the line drawn between the Off
Ger who was volunteer, and the regular
graduates, that Lieutenant-C Commander
who has been in the volunteer service is
never appointed to an executive position
over regular officers, even of less rank
and with those who are but Lieutenants,
they are always so assigned that they be-
come the junior OF the deck officers, or
those who control the ship watch and
watch nj sea or in port. An assumed
superiority by the graduates has caused
more heart t-burnings and unhappiness in
the service than any cause known, and
by it, good men are subjected to all man
ner OF Sights from which they have no
appeal or means OF redress. Even in the
location OF room or seat at the table or
place in formation, these petty tyrannies
are practiced, and man Of feeling who
is sensitive, simply suffers through a for
eign cruise, looking longingly ahead to
the time when he shall return to shore
duty, as relief from the worse than prison
life he led on the cruise. If men who

WHOSE is lT2

Prof. Campbell came to this Office last
night and reported that he had $685., the
rwner of which he is uncertain OF. The
facts, as he stated them, are these: Willie
Upton, school boy years old, who is not
very bright, was seen distributing money
among HI. school mates. The teacher took
the money and the boy explained that his
father gave him $40 gold piece to buy q
book. He did not buy the book but bought
some candy, gum and cheap jewelry
and brought the change to school. The
teacher gave him dollar and he went and
bought the book. The remainder of the
money, Sls9 was turned over to Pref.
Campbell, who still retains it.
In the evening q man named Mathew came
to the school and wanted the money, saying
tha. he had $50 in box up stairs and that
some one had taken $50 of it. 1t may be
that Mathew lives al the same house as the
boy Upton, whose father, or step-fAther, Is a
mover of houses, and that his story is cor
rect Professor Campbell holds the money
pending decision.

night good sized audience gathered to
witness the production for the first time in
this city, of "Over the Garden WALL" by

The play is musical comedy based upon
ridiculous situations and Misunderstanding
between neighbors who are separated by
garden walls, and an infant whose parents
it is thought at first best to keep unknown
In this play MIR. Knight inds an admirable
opportunity for the display of his excellcn,
qualities as commedian. In hi:
hands (Mr. Snitz) the poet poll
tician and hen packed husband
shines. His impcrsonation Astounding in
capital touches is decidedly better piece OF
acting than his performance in "Baron Ru-
dolph."
Mrs. knight, ss NELLY Wrangle," is rs
bright and captivating AS in former days
when she delighted thetre-goers as Miss
Sophie Worrel.
Julius Snitz, Jr.. and Rosy were both well
played and appreciated. The characters Of
Tom Tracy and Moses Wrangle gave no
opportunity for good acting but met with
the success they deserved. Bridget, the
faithful domestic and Mrs. Snitz were slso
well sustained.
The company lie on its way west after most
successful tour east.

teen houses in course of erection on the south

The number of very neat houses bull:
in this locality this spring is astonishing. In
Mathewson's new addition six new founda-

round ready for use. Four new stores are
now being built along the avenue and four
more are occupied.

sheer at or to declare that the facts didn't
warrant the claim; or, when dilsting upon
the splendid showing being made by some
farmer in his crops and dwelling on the
super excellence OF our soil or the unrlvai'ed
climate, the Beacon was always on hand
with the gratuitous opinion that the EAGLE
was romancing, or that its editor was dis
gushing the people with his blowing and OBJ
noxious egotism. His screed Of last evening

shown wonderful capacity for just one
thing. and in which direction IT stands
without the pretence of q rival, and that is
in taking advantage of the faith and in prof
iting by the lnbors of others. Beyond this
it never successfully accomplished anything,
