The protractod Indian troubles ;r Arizona have awakened a widespreaa interest in the subject Of their subjuga ton, and the vslorous military spirit now lying dormant in the breasts of m known heroes, is swelling into zealoUs ambition, to carve fame from the field of carnage and to bring She glo-ies Of peace to the sOrroWing citizens of thIs border land. The following letter shows how confident some of the suppressed heroes are that the opportunity has at last arrived for them to accomplish the great mission designed by a wonderful but discriminating Providence:

 For the benefit Of Major Adams, who is evidently sincere in his offer, and the many other natural leaders wLo may thirst for glory, it is stated that the lease of live so graeiousiy gwen to the hostile band, is altogether out of pro portion to the recorded statistics of the longevity of the Apache race. Thirty years would come nearer the mark. The Indians are a race of warriors from the remOtest records of the tnbe, and they are not only better armed and equipped than the troops, but they combine ell tue knowledge cf military tactIcs aId strategy, Hdied to their other natural cunning: they move Gs stealinily as a cat and fire when sure Ot tbei- victims; they travel day or night over precipi- tous mountains or burning plalns. often trsvelIng more than a hundred miles a day, suDslstlDg upon a slaughtered horse or such food as the country may offer. They roam over an area of country as large as-the New England states, and have such a perfect system Of sig Dals which are passed unnoticed by white people, that one band always knows where to find the ether.
 They separate m raids like flock of quail before the hunter, and sIngly find a quiet way given rendezvous They are like the IrIshman's flea: When yon get your finger: on them they are not there. A campaign of thirty days sgRinst them would be crowned with as much success as an attempt to oxlinguish the sun with R wet Tucson blanket,

Good TemnInrs

The Good TemplaEs Lodge of this city despite all opposition and its many hard struggles for life during the past five years. IS now in the zenith of its glory. It has had many trials and missortunes to combat with, and lt some times il seemed as though its beneficial pres. ence must be withdrRan. So little in. terest was taken, that n March 1884, its charter was surrendered, only to be re- claimed agaln by some of the energetic spirits, who are yet i:s ablest support CTS.
 For nearly q year the Lodge has been steadily growing. and scarcely n meeting has been held in which new members have not faced the fabled goat.
 The meetings are BOW conducted on very interesting principles, each evening bringing forth an array Of musical and vocal talent winch bids fair soon to excel the leading attractions of Tucson society. Indeed, II k Eow the rule, that a member would much rather mss a party or soclal eutertaiument than G sia- gle lodge meeting.
 Toward the latter part Of this month g literary and musical eniertainment wall be given by the order :n this city. n which the public will be freely m yited to participate. Installation of officers was held at the last meeting. by Grand Lodge Deputy Mrs. L.J. Prince. assisted by D. Grand Worthy Sacv ". ]. Osborn and Grand Worthy Marshal Eugene 4. Browne.

Cattlemen in the vicinity of Tomb stone and throughout the Sulpbur Spring valley say that the necessity for copious rains Is daily becoming more urgent. The winter just past was unu- sually dry ID the sections mentioned, and as a result grass is backward in its growth and feed Is becoming scarce Reports from the lower San Pedro, how ever, are more encouraging. Numerous heavy rains during the winter months were followed by an early spring, and grass is unusually good iu that section. As consequence cattle are in fine con dition. As a matter of interest to Tomb stone butchers, it is stated that from 300 to 100 fine fat beef steers can now be purchased from the herds of lower San Pedro.-Tombstone Democrat.
