Pity the Poor Czar.

NEW YORK, MayI7.-A Vienna special says: Having failed in their attempts to blow up or poison the czar, ths nihilists have tried to smoke him out. The other evening, as the imperial family at Li- vidia were about to retire for the night, the sky suddenly reddened as the dark ness deepened. The strange light grew more and more intense, and number of terrified officials rushed into the Lividia barracks with the report that the nihilists had fired the neighboring forests. Famed by a strong sea breeze, the flames rapidly spread, despite the feeble efforts of the soldiers to check their progress. The sky for miles around was in a glow. The fire burned for several days, but forum ately without reaching the boundaries of the imperial park. Great anxiety pre- vails at Lividia.

A specimen Anarchist.

CHICAGO, May "A person who speaks the Bohemian language mingled with the crowd that was encouraging the boys to break Rosenheld's drug store windows during the recent troubles and engaged one of the men in conversation. The man said he could not understand why men could not do as they think best. He had come to this country be- cause the agent who had told him to emigrate had promised him he would come to free country. He had come here with the idea that this country was a free one, in which man could do what he pleased. Now he had found out that the police in this country were just as bad as those in Europe and pro- tected the property of the rich, which the workingmen wanted to destroy, be. cause they wanted the rich to become thelr equal. Therefore, he hated the American police as much as he did the officers in Europe, and thought it just,to kill them and their spies. Rosen6eld being spy, they had driven him from the neighborhood, and were now doing their best to demolish the building which gave him shelter.

The Kentucky Derby.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May I7.-The Der by day has come and gone, and by all who saw it, it has been put down as a great turf event, successful in every re. spect. The weather was very warm, and the track was good and fast. The attend. ance was the largest seen at Louisville in many years. In the free field the crowd was simply immense. They were good. natured, but it required great exertion on
 the part of the police to keep them with
 in bounds. Betting was good. It was confined to auction and French mutual pools, the bookmakers declining to pay the sum required for the privilege by White & Co.,, the lessees. An excellent

Opposition to the proposed tax on ole omargarine has developed in two unex- pected quarters. One is the cotton-seed crushers of the South. What could they find to interest themselves in this matter, it may be asked. They protest, accord ing to Washington dispatch, because large quantities of cotton-seed oil are used in the process of manufacturing bogus butter, and any legislation which will limit the product of the latter will hurt them. The other protest comes from the cattle-dealers in the west. Con. gressional sentiment, however, seems largely in favor of the imposition of tax on bogus butter, and this being the case, the protests are not likely to stay the passage of the bill.

Anarchist Mosl,s speech in Germania.

Anarchist Mosl's speech in Germania Hall, on April 22d, in which he advoc HseS' kthe forming of Socialist rifle corps and the carrying of muskets, which were to be had for ten dollars apiece, is already bearing fruit. Three such rife compa- nies have sprung into existence in New York, known as companies I, ? and }. Each company meets once week and drills. To these meetings the members bling their muskets, and when assembled they go through the manual of arms.

The troops have once more met the hostiles, with disastrous results. On Friday evening, Captain Hatfield sur prised Geronimo's camp, near La Noria, getting away with his stock and camp equlpage-but no scalps. The next morning, as the troops were lelsurely jogging along with ihe spoils of war, through hox canyon-it is always in a box canyon-they were suddenly fired on from the heights, by the hostiles, who killed six soldiers and wounded some more. They not only recovered their captured stock, but secured some be- longing to the army. It would seem about time that our officers acquired a little of the red mans strategy and made a close inspection, before venturing into positions where they could be taken at q great disadvantage.

Another nancrorr Flre Victim.

SAN FRANCISCO, May I7.-For sev- eral days past there have been rumors that another corpse lay buried beneath the ruins of the Bancroft fire. This arose from the presence of an extremely disagreeable odor, which arose from one particular spot. The search which was made to-day brought to Aew the remains of boy named Daly, who is believed to have been killed by the falling ruins. There was deep and wide hole in his skull, in which portion of brick was found imbedde1. This makes the fourth victim of the Bancroft fire.

A Terrible state or Affairs.

CoLUMgUs, Ohio, May I3.-A Peoria Especial t6%he Springfield Evening Ga zette, which has just been received, says: There was terrible wind and rain storm at 10 o'clock last night, with wonderful electrical display. The water backed up up at the east end of the town to the bank against the Panhandle railroad. The bank gave way suddenly and the flood came dashing through the town along Shawnee creek, in waves IS or 20 feet high, swept 20 or 30 houses away, and did several thousand dollars worth of damage. The gas works are flooded aud the town is in darkness and terror. The cries of the people in the flooded district were awful to hear. Many acts of heroism in saving drowning people are reported. Bonfres were lighted and people worked all night. Twenty bodies were recovered, and there is still num- Der missing. Whole families perished in the flooded districts. There was great damage to property all around Tn the country, and the extent of the damage cannot now be even approximated. The following is list of the dead: Mrs. Neally and sister, Ms. Casey, widow; Mrs. Samuel Cochran and two sons; Matt Evape uife and cbil1. Orrip Mor res, wife and five children; Stephen Dal- ton; Wm. Howell, wife and six or seven children; Lewis Anderson and wife; Mrs. E. Lindsay.

The people of Gila-co are more than satisfied with the change in Judgeship from D. A. Pinney to that of William Porter. During the term just closed Judge Porter has shown himself pos sessed of a well poised mind, sufficient, ly quick to grasp legal position and throttle long winded arguments of lawyers who "are just comming to the point your honor" Besides these ad- mirable qualities in Judge, he is af- fable to bar, jury, litigants and wit nesses, and as consequence the busi- ness of the court progressed without friction and with a regularity that caused sons of Themis who are dispos- ed to be loiterers upon the legal high way to endeavor to be on time.-Globe Silver Belt.

 . When miners secure a claim on a lease or work their own location, in both instances either selling their ores on the dump, or shipping them to a mill or shelter, and paying for their reduction, Is known as "Chloriding. , The term originated among the miners of Nevada. and took its name from the working of the rich silver chloride de posits in that state. Within the last three years great deal of mining of this character has been done in Arizo- ma. Poor miners with no capital ex- cept their strong arms, have, in many cases, resumed work on abandoned claims, and have made them pay hand somely. Mohave-co. has taken the lead In chloriding, and during the year 1885 the shipments of raw ores from Kingman station averaged over $40,- 900 per month. Instead of waiting for the coming of capital, the miners of Mahave-co. have gone to work in systematic manner and are treating it themselves Outlook.

AN APACHE CUSTOM.

One of the customs of the Apaches is that of the husband totally ignoring his mother-in-law. When the young Indian buck discovers young squaw suited to his mind, he at once sets about to do some brave act which will please her father. If at peace, he goes hunting and returns the fruits. If the old buck is pleased the bargain is made and the young buck carries away the prize.
 During his courtship he never once sees the young squaw's mother. On his approach to the tent the old squaw leaves or secrets herself. After mar riage she avoids him. To meet and speak would be mortal sin against the marriage relation. From the com mencement of courtship until death the Apache buck knows not his moth er-in-law. It is no wonder the Apache is so bloodthirsty, so cruel, so hard to conquer.
 Apache depravity can we'll be appre- ciated by the eastern humanitarian mind, when it is fully understood how he ignores his mother-in-law. It is the want of her advice which keeps alive the turbulent and bloody spirit of the Apache cut-throat.
 Just think of it, an Apache family setting up housekeeping without the direction and advise of the young squaw's mother. Think of what a dreary home in the wickiup where the sound of mother-in laws voice is nev CT heard. Think how hard it is for the young buck to get his squaw up in the morning to cook his breakfast, and ten to one the eggs are boiled too hard and the biscuts burnt, all of which exc:tes the war spirit and which could be avoided if the mother-in- law was present with her advice and moth erly direction. Yes, this custom of totally ignoring the mother-in-law IS no doubt the cause of much of the turbulent war spirit of the Apache bucks.
 Just imagine the effect on modern civilization if husbands were not ac- corded the delightful pleasure of know ing their mother-in laws.
